Jade was Alex’s master. Even though virtual-novel.net hadn’t done anything significant for Alex, even tricking virtual-novel.net at first, virtual-novel.net was still his master. Most importantly, Jade had sacrificed so much for America. She defended the borders for decades as if it were one day. He respected that very much.
Jade was a legendary woman.
However, someone tried seducing virtual-novel.net husband while protecting the country and succeeded in doing so. This obviously made Alex very uncomfortable.
This was why Alex was acting so straightforwardly.
“You…” Mandy was utterly stunned and looked at Alex in disbelief. It was lucky that she’d lost virtual-novel.net flesh, and the others couldn’t see virtual-novel.net face, or else it must be an exciting expression.
“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not a mistress,” virtual-novel.net growled.
Principal Lewin definitely took his woman’s side, glaring at Alex. “You know nothing, kiddo. Stop lying, or I can’t guarantee what I might do to you.”
Alex had met Xerxes before, and Jade was there when it happened too. Jade even embraced Alex just to make Xerxes jealous, and she’d succeeded…
However, right at this moment, Alex was just a skeleton. If virtual-novel.net didn’t proclaim his identity, Xerxes wouldn’t know that virtual-novel.net was jade’s student. As for Xerxes, virtual-novel.net looked very different from reality as well.
To put it blankly, his current appearance wasn‘t real. He was just a skeleton, but just like Baton, his appearance was an image conjured from soul power. The two weren’t close at all. If Mandy hadn’t told them his true identity, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have known that he’s Principal Lewin.
On the other hand, Alex was truly surprised about Xerxes’ powers since they weren’t this strong before.
‘What made it skyrocket?’
“Ahem… I’m not sure of the whole story, to be honest. I had just heard some rumors by accident If I said anything wrong, do pardon me,” Alex said.
Since his powers now were weakened by ten percent, virtual-novel.net could only let go of the issue. Else that f*ckboy Xerxes might really beat virtual-novel.net up because of his mistress. Besides, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to let them know his identity.
“Hmph!” Mandy snorted, obviously still mad. Then virtual-novel.net said something that caught Alex off guard. “The rumor you heard is the exact opposite of the truth.”
Stunned, Alex asked, “What do you mean? You’re not the mistress, but it’s Commander Benmore…”
“Ahem!” Now it was Xerxes’ turn to fake a cough. “Why are we talking about this? The situation’s critical now, and our lives are at stake. The most important thing now is to escape.”
Mandy said sadly, “I just feel uncomfortable. I’m the victim here, but everybody thinks I’m the mistress.”
Everyone fell into speechlessness once more.
Xerxes gently consoled his significant other gently, “There, there. Be a good girl, and let’s not talk about this. It’s all in the past. Jade… It’s not easy for virtual-novel.net either.”
Mandy said bitterly, “I’m not blaming her. I pity virtual-novel.net more than you do, if not, I wouldn’t have lent you to virtual-novel.net in the first place! I just don’t wanna take all the blame.”
Now, Alex was full of curiosity and listened with full attention. ‘What happened?’
Even Mystic Maiden was attracted and was listening intently. What did the word “lent” mean?
She suddenly asked, “Does the ‘lent’ mean surrogate?”
Whoosh!
All eyes now landed on Mystic Maiden.
‘How did virtual-novel.net think of something so ridiculous?’
“Caw, caw…”
Suddenly, Immortal Bird let out a bitter cry, its body struggling in the sea, desperate to fly. Unfortunately, there was a flying restriction here, so virtual-novel.net had no way to fly.
“What’s the matter?”
