“The Emperor’s been kidnapped?” Alex was stunned as if his brain wasn’t functioning. “Who kidnapped him? For what reason? Could it be the Republic of Mai?”
America and the Republic of Mai had long been enemies. They’d been at war for many years, even sabotaging each other behind the scenes, so Alex guessed it was them.
However, Jade shook her head. “It’s not them. It’s Rakshasa Temple. They’ve requested for you to meet them, or they’ll kill the Emperor! Only you can save the Emperor now. Follow me! Quick!”
While Alex was still processing all the information, Jade grabbed hold of him and headed towards the door.
Alex shouted as he quickly covered his body with his hands.
“Hey! Let go! Let go first… D*mn! I don’t even have my clothes on! Can you just go and wait outside…”
Jade was anxious. “What are you still waiting for? The clock is ticking! It’s not like I’ve never seen a naked man. Why? Do you have an extra limb or something?”
As she spoke, she even slapped Alex’s hand out of the way on purpose. To her surprise, she let out a gasp after taking one glance.
‘That size… Wouldn’t that kill someone?’
Looking at Jade’s dropped jaw, Alex felt like pushing her down… He coughed awkwardly and quickly put an a shirt. “Where are they?”
Jade pouted, and her attention was drawn back to the urgent matter. She said, “They’re at Terra Mountain, in the Fuzen Dojo!”
“I heard that your manor in California has become a forbidden place. The six ancient sects, all cultivators to be exact, are afraid to approach it now. They’re scared that they’d be trapped inside. I guess you did a good job.”
Before leaving, Alex reminded Ynes. “Ynes, just take a good rest here, okay? Don’t materialize your Chi before your spiritual root is fully recovered. I’ll come back soon and continue healing your wounds.”
Jade retorted, “You call that healing? That’s doing… Despicable things.”
Alex said, “You’re just jealous. Whatever, there’s no point talking about such things with a single woman like you.”
The two walked out of the room before passing the hall.
“I promise you!”
Daya then kissed Alex passionately in front of Jade. Maya and Waltz came over to kiss Alex goodbye as well.

At the same time, something was blowing up on the internet.
Someone had leaked the news that Rakshasa Temple kidnaped the Emperor, and Alex was to go in exchange for the Emperor. If he didn’t, the Emperor would be killed.
Everyone was furious.
The Emperor had worked hard all these years to bring America to a better place, making it the world’s leading country again. Its citizens worked and lived in peace, and the economy improved day by day.
Looking back at America’s history, the Emperor was an undeniably good leader.
