They barely moved away for a short time when Alex stopped them. Both Ali and Rowan looked to Alex for an explanation.

"You mentioned having firearms. Do you have any weapons that can be fired across long distances? "

Alex leaned in closer to Rowan. Rowan thought it was strange, but he responded positively.

"That's great. Give me a long-range weapon and instructions on how to use it. I'll be right behind you. " Alex's strategy was straightforward. When the adversary arrives at M-32 in search of answers, he intends to utilise foreign weapons to kill several opponents and flee. It will lead foes to believe that some foreign adversaries have also arrived on Planet Green, causing them to scale down their efforts. It will also provide justification for Alex's subsequent attacks on the Chain.

Alex described his intentions to them, and Ali saw nothing wrong with them. Rowan, though, was not convinced.

"What are your thoughts on my weapons? They are technically complicated and difficult to ope

    Both Alex and Rowan arrived on the battlefield. Ali was there, gathering all sorts of weaponry. Even some armour had vanished. Ali gathered them all. Many of the weapons and armour were damaged, but there were still roughly 100 weapons in functional order."Do you know how to operate the battleships and drones, Rowan? Is it possible to reset them?" Ali desired to seize the drones and battleships. But he has no idea if there is any danger. What if the adversary could hunt them down using weaponry or battleships? That was not something any of them had planned."We can take them. So Alex can put those items in his Mirror World. It won't be a problem. They can't possibly track into another dimension. But if Alex wants to take them out, you need to ask my sister for help. She is an expert on weapons and battleships. She can hack and remove any backdoors or tracking devices on battleships." Rowan suddenly stopped talking. He became so nervous that he bit his own lips."What should I do? I d

    The cuisine was excellent. Rowan couldn't stop himself from asking for more. Alex and his clan were kind to them.They enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Rowan had never eaten anything like it before. He had already fallen in love with the meal.Before departing with Rowan, Jasmin thanked the tribal members. They entered a tiny room where Alex and Ali were already there."Can you explain why you summoned us all here, Ali? Why do we need this kind of gathering? "Of course, it was Rowan who posed the question.Ali scheduled a meeting with Rowan, Jasmin, and Alex for the following morning. He wanted to talk about the future.He summoned everyone to a meeting. Alex found them a room. It wasn't a large space, but it was where Alex and the clan members had their meetings. It was soundproof, and the door appeared to be metal. The room was a little dim. There was a four-seater table. They sat there, waiting for Ali to say anything."I called you all to make plans for the future. We can't just go

    Rowan told Jasmin everything. He was overjoyed and wanted to use the token straight away. But Jasmin intervened. She warned him not to use it before consulting Ali and Alex. After all, who knows whether there's a better way to put them to use? Alex is more familiar with the system. It's better to do it with expert help. They're also unsure whether opening the mirror puts them at risk. It is ideal to do so with both Ali and Alex present.They left the mirror world. Alex and Ali remained in the meeting room, talking and arranging different military preparations. They weren't expecting Rowan and his sister to show up so fast. Ali gazed at Jasmin with a puzzled expression. He couldn't figure out why she returned so quickly. Were the weapons too advanced for her, and she couldn't breach them? Or they encountered additional challenges. Neither Ali nor Alex sought an explanation.Rowan didn't keep them guessing for long. He was so enthusiastic that he spoke it all in one breath.

    What they saw in front of them was an enchanting world. The air shimmered with tiny orbs of lights, illuminating the delicate leaves of the trees. The tall trees stretched upwards in all their glory and seemed to touch the sky, while some plants shined and gleamed in resplendent beauty like diamonds in the sky.Rowan tried to touch them but was swiftly stopped by Ali, as he had warned them not to touch anything. It was not that Ali was overly cautious, but that the circumstances called for it. What if they come into contact with any harmful plants? They had no notion what type of item might be found here. A large variety of creatures could be seen all around, and some even approached them warily. But Alex swiftly used his illusion power to disguise them.If you told the name of any animal to Rowan, he’d know at least something about it. Discovering new things was Rowan’s quirk. He took every opportunity to learn more about the world in which he ceased to exist. But even as he paced hi

    The soldiers eventually arrived at the settlement and encircled it. Angela dismounted her horse and entered the village. The troops encountered no opposition or assaults.Angela took off her helmet and continued heading inside. "I am aware that you are not Demons. I'll give you five minutes to surrender. After that, there will be no mercy. " It wasn't even two minutes before Rowan and his friends came forward. Angela directed two troops to search their bodies. They discovered no weapons. Angela looked at them closely. When she found Ali, she came forward and examined him closely. She can't discover anything extraordinary about him. But Angela was sure Ali already knew they were coming. These people are clearly not demons, but she has never seen their dressing style before. After questioning them, she found out that they didn't know anything about the world, fairies, or demons. After discussing with other high-ranking military officers, they came to the conclusion that they must hav

    A long, long time ago, there was a beautiful kingdom. The people were all wealthy and lived in harmony. There were no wars, and there was no corruption. Whatever difficulty they encountered, they confronted it together. There were no thefts, bandits, or even minor street fights. If someone called it paradise, no one could deny it. The kingdom was located between two mountains. On the rear side of the kingdom, there was a forest. It was so dark that simply glancing at it frightened many. There was a giant tree, which was like an umbrella, and covered the kingdom's rear side. The tree remained there as though, even if the sky crumbled, it would block the sky and safeguard the kingdom. People were offering their prayers there. Some even bowed and expressed their gratitude toward the tree. Some asked the tree for rain, while others asked for their needs. People treated the tree as if it were a God. A legend says one of their queens sacrificed her life and turned herself into a tree. The

    "Hello, darling. What are you doing here alone? The festival is about to start. Let Aunt help you get dressed. " With a beautiful smile, Amora approached the princess. She wanted to say no, but it was already late. Amora had already come near to the princess. Only when Amora was close did the princess notice the abnormality, but it was already too late. Amora used her hands to restrain the princess. The princess screamed for help. Suddenly, the doors were open, and some of her guards, and her servant, entered the room. Only then did Princess Alice feel at ease. To her surprise, they didn't even look shocked but instead walked towards Amora and waited there. It looked like they were Amora's servants. Princess Alice became enraged."What exactly are you doing? Can't you see the demon causing me harm? I'm your queen, and I command you to quickly summon the knights and arrest the rebel Amora. " None of the guards moved. Some others were embarrassed and avoided making eye contact with t

    It was nothing like she thought; it wasn't a big luxury hall or anything magical. It was a typical, tiny room. There was a bed and a table with some make-up tools. There was no dust in the room. The bed had a neat bedsheet. The make-up tools appeared to be something used recently. There were two more doors, and they were locked. It appeared to be maintained daily. If someone saw it, they could only assume it was an ordinary living room. Everything indicates that someone lives here. Amora slowly removed the veil. Her face was just as usual, cold and no emotions were there. She looked towards the door as if she was expecting it to be open. "Why are you still hiding there? I know you are well and alive. "It was as though there was someone else there. Amora looked towards the door as she spoke. Suddenly, a door opened, and a lady in a bathrobe came out. Just like she expected, there was actually someone living there. It was a beautiful woman with green hair. She looked mature and i

    Everything moved too quickly. Nobody anticipated the Gama family to discover one of the Chain's military bases, let alone start a war.Planet Green launched an effective strike. Because the Chain lacked many weapons and elite men, the Gama swiftly took control.The Gama came, killed every single one of Chain's warriors, and even captured the rumoured famous Mx X, as was seen by viewers watching live streaming.Nobody anticipated the Gama to be so brutal.

It's Miya from G-news. Today we have a guest from the Gama family, Johnson. "The reporter from G-news was a famous person. Her cute face and voice helped her to gain a lot of fans."It's Miya.

"Johnson introduced himself."Mr Johnson, We all know how your family and the Chain are now in conflict, and it's getting worse. Since the Gama chose to be silent, we all thought the Chain gained some upper hand or is your family forced to make a statement?"She didn't hold back and asked the question that hurt the Gama most.Johnson became a bit displeased

    Mr X remained silent for a long time. His cigarette burnt slowly to ash."White Mask, what are your thoughts about the Mercks arriving here?"White Mask was taken aback. He needed a few minutes to recover from his astonishment."How is that possible, sir? Even if any of them did come here, how could they avoid our notice?"Mr X lighted a new cigarette and began smoking."I deduced that Ali or Rowan were not locals based on the details. They had to have appeared lately, or otherwise, the slaves would have recognised them. And based on the current attack pace, I'm convinced they'd just arrived."Mr X inhaled deeply and proceeded."It appeared to be some Mercks managed to come here. If our intelligence were right, Mark had a son named Little Mark, but what most people don't know is his real name is Rowan. From what I can see, it must be Mark's son."The white mask was at a loss and didn't know what to say."But even if it's Mark's son, what use do we have?"From Mr X's excited expression

    "The Mercks are alive?" Mr X couldn't believe it. He started to replay the video again and again.The white-masked man became worried. He never saw Mr X act in this manner."Sir, there is no evidence at all. It's just random talk. Please don't take it in mind. We saw how the planet Merck was blown. There was no one there. Everything turned to ash. We saw it with our own eyes. It's just some random guy's assumptions. "The white-masked man anxiously waited for Mr X to speak.Mr X finally stopped his activities."White mask. We have a few prisoners, right? Through torture, hypnosis, drugs, or whatever methods you use, find out everything they know about Alex, John, Ali, and Rowan. I want it done immediately. "The white mask finally got the spirit back. Mr X became serious, which means they were going to start the battle."Also, send me every detail about the last attacks. I want to analyse everything. "With that, they entered a drone and left.

Our members are dying without even knowing how. This place must be cursed. I hope I can leave this place soon. "A soldier told his companion. But his companion was shaking, and his face almost lost colour. He was terrified.Before the soldier could know why his friend was so scared, he heard a voice."A cursed place? Hmm. That's a reasonable point. If people started to disappear without any trace, there must be something similar to a curse. White mask, note it down. It may come in handy.""Noted, sir," the white-masked man replied, and they both went inside the camp."Hey, who is that black-masked man, and why is he acting mysterious and weirdly?"The soldier asked his friend."Shh. Lower your voice. It's the legendary Mr X. ""What did he do? Why is he famous? ""Don't tell me you've never heard of the Merck family. Ah, Ah

I took notice of your contribution. You are free to relax. " John nodded and went away.The village was entirely transformed. If Alex returned suddenly, he would believe he had entered another world. There have been several revisions.People were initially lazy, but as they ran out of food, they were compelled to follow John's new lifestyle. They gradually began to appreciate their new way of life as well.The nicest part was the construction.

    Everyone stared at Ali with shock. How is he still joking around? But Ali continued to act as if nothing significant had occurred."What's the matter with you? Why are you staring at me as if I were a ghost? Our village is close to the country of the fairies, and we've heard from passing demons. Is there nothing else to say? What? Do you believe we're fairies? Look at our appearance before passing judgement."They became convinced after seeing Ali's appearance. By look, he is obviously a demon. He is not a fairy in any manner.What Ali and his pals didn't realise was that they were viewed as riches rather than foes."Please accept my sincere apologies. It's simply that my staff are particularly sensitive to the subject today. "Carlo swiftly shifted the subject.Ali also became more at ease.Finally, Angela took a breath. She was too concerned.

    "I'm not great at physical labour, but I'm fantastic in math and accounting." For example, I counted over a hundred carts here, with the majority of them carrying at least five people. All of those carts were drawn by horses. You also have some other animals, such as those utilised in agriculture. "Ali stopped for a second and acted like he was calculating something. He then acted like he was finally done calculating and continued his conversation."If my calculations are correct, you have a hundred carts with at least five men in them. Adding the other animals, it's five hundred men and two hundred and ten horses. Two hundred horses mean it requests at least fifty gold coins to manage them on a daily basis. If we reduce the food cost since we are travelling through the jungle, it still costs ten gold coins a day."Ali suddenly stopped, gave a meaningful gaze to Carlo, and continued."Those men seemed to be combat-trained. You need at least 500 gold coins every day to transport 500 s
