Chapter 2596: Chapter 2600

Jade was Alex’s master. Even though she hadn’t done anything significant for Alex, even tricking him at

first, she 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 her 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 her flesh,

and the others couldn’t see her face, or else it must be an exciting expression.

“Don’t talk nonsense, I’m not a mistress,” she 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 he didn’t proclaim his identity, Xerxes

wouldn’t know that he was jade’s student. As for Xerxes, he 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, he 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, he could only let go of the issue. Else that

f*ckboy Xerxes might really beat him up because of his mistress. Besides, he didn’t want to let them

know his identity.

“Hmph!” Mandy snorted, obviously still mad. Then she 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 her either.”

Mandy said bitterly, “I’m not blaming her. I pity her more than you do, if not, I wouldn’t have lent you to

her 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 she 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 he had no way to fly.

“What’s the matter?”
