Alex was shocked to see Maximilia’s reaction. “You know the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell?!” he asked.
Maximilia nodded. “I even know you are not Zechariah Hadid.”
“Huh?”
Alex was shocked, but he concealed his emotions. “Maximilia, you sure make a good joke. I am Zechariah Hadid. How could I remember my name wrongly?”
Maximilia forced a smile. She abruptly reached out and pinched Alex’s nose. “Rockefeller brat, don’t you know who I am?”
‘Holy crap!’
Alex’s mind went into overdrive. He stared intently at Maximilia’s face. “Jade Benmore?”
Smack!
Maximilia flicked her forehead. “Impudent! Call me Master!”
Yup! Maximilia was none other than Jade.
Jade was also genuinely baffled. When she stepped onto the first step of the Heavenly Stairs, she experienced the same situation as Alex. However, she found that she had become a young proprietress of an exotic inn. More importantly, the inn was operating in the desert. It was truly peculiar.
In fact, she still wasn’t accustomed to it.
After confirming that Maximilia was truly Jade, Alex felt like crying. He had come all the way with great difficulty, it was simply the greatest burden dragging along the scholar’s useless body. At that moment, his tense state of mind was relieved, and an intense sensation of fatigue swept over him.
His body went limp, and he fell toward Jade.
“Rockefeller brat?!” Jade hurriedly hugged him.

“Hmph! Don’t you ever think of getting the Wasteland’s luck! It’s all mine!”
Setting the Stoermer Sect aside, all the ordinary people in America were worried now. The Stoermer Sect had occupied all the sanctuaries, leaving nothing to the outsiders. Having lost hope deep down, many naturally had few good things to say about the Stoermer Sect.
In private, they even described the Stoermer Sect as a heinous satanic cult.
If Heavenly Emperor Rowan and Phoenix were still in the mortal realm and found out, they would’ve vomited blood! It took countless years, manpower, effort, and lives to build up the Stoermer Sect’s fame. In just a few nights, however, Eustace had ruined it in front of everyone.
On the Internet, almost everyone pinned their hopes on Alex. It was because only Yukon, occupied by Alex, hadn’t been replaced by the Stoermer Sect.
Once, some had even witnessed the Stoermer Sect devotees trying to enter Mount Yukon, but they were blocked outside the spell formation and were unable to ascend even halfway.
“I wonder what Alex Rockefeller is doing right now. ”
“I really hope Alex Rockefeller will leave Yukon at some point and kill the people from the Stoermer Sect until they are scared witless!”
