Chapter 2600: Chapter 2604

Thump, thump, thump…

Eight iron chains appeared from the festive red sedan chair and tied Alex and Xerxes down onto it.

They both struggled hard but couldn’t escape. Even their soul powers were restricted.

“F*ck!” Alex was so mad he cursed. The whole situation frustrated him deeply.

He had just fought his way out from Baton’s gang, yet now he found himself in a more dangerous

situation. It was such bad luck.

Seeing Alex refusing to give up and still trying hard, Xerxes said, “Don’t waste your energy. These

aren’t regular chains. If I remember correctly, these are structured chains. They belong further up than

the power of law. With our abilities, we won’t be able to free ourselves even with a hundred years.”

“Argh!” Alex roared, unafraid of letting the people outside hear.

His skeleton let out rays of black and white, and numerous tiny talismans flowed within his bones,

fighting against the structured chains.

Klaang!

The chains rumbled, very strong and unbreakable. Finally, he stopped trying.

Then, he looked grumpily at Xerxes. “Principal Lewin, it looks like you’ve just accepted your fate. Could

it be that you’ve long been attracted to the princess?”

“Screw you, kiddo. Don’t disgust me. Just one look at that kind of woman makes me wanna puke.”

Alex said, “Are you sure? Even though that woman is hideous, with flimsy skin wrapped around bones,

at least she has real skin.”

“Besides, your current wife isn’t even any prettier. At least the princess has a layer of skin. Your wife

doesn’t have anything but white bones.”

Xerxes looked at him and asked suddenly, “Do you have an issue with me?”

“No…”

“But, I can tell.”

“Fine!” said Alex, and he shut up.

He was observing the chair. It was full of law power, but it remained chilly and dark. It seemed closely

connected to the troop of soldiers outside. Chi flowed in his divine eye, making him notice that the chair

seemed to be connected to Xerxes.

“A bead?”

“Is it the… Spiritual Corpse Core?” Alex stared at Xerxes and immediately linked the connection.

Right then, the chair soared in the clouds. It was a dizzying ride. They seemed to go through the grey

clouds, heading to some unknown place. They could see the outside clearly as the curtains blocked the

view, but they could feel the presence of the soldiers outside.

He used mental voice transmission with Xerxes. “Hey, Principal Lewin, tell me about the Spiritual

Corpse Core.”

Xerxes had headed the Flying Eagles Academy for thirty years. Having a high social status in the

country, he was also quite intelligent. Despite this, he just shook his head. “You wanna start with the

core? It’s no use, I’ve eaten it, so it’s digested! I can feel some difference ever since I ate that bead.

Oh, my craving is to blame!”

Alex said, “I think it’s not digested. It’s still there.”

“It’s still here?”

“Yes, and it must have started some connection between you and the princess.”

Hearing this, Principal Lewin felt like crying. Moreover, he had a wild guess. The soldiers outside might

be taking them to the ancient city down south because she had lived in the city before and had her own

castle.

At the thought of himself being brought there as the king’s son-in-law, getting married, being a prince

consort, and reaching the peak of life, he felt that it wasn’t worth living anymore.

Xerxes said seriously, “Hancock, I owe you on this. You’ve been dragged into this because of me. Don’t

look so grim. I’d definitely talk on your behalf in front of the princess and try to set you free.”

Alex said, “Are you sure your words are persuasive? Perhaps it only is when you do that in bed.”

Xerxes bit his lip. “If I don’t, who else would? But I need your help with something.”

Alex opened his mouth, but nothing came out. ‘Is Xerxes really planning on sleeping with the princess?’

‘That would need extra courage.’

“What is it? I’ll see what I can do.”

Xerxes asked, “Do you know Jade?”
