Alex glanced at Aesop.
At this time, he really wanted to ask about the Peacock Heavenly King. He wasn’t interested in the Demon King’s treasure, but he was very interested in the Xavion Sword wielded by the Emperor Xavion.
It would be great if he could find the human race’s holy tool, the Xavion Sword, through the Demon King’s treasure that Aesop was looking for.
However, he still wasn’t sure what the demon tribe thought in their minds. He was afraid that it would just end up with another fallout if he stated this request hastily now.
So, he could only suppress the idea in his mind.
“Alright! Then you people can go back first!” Alex said.
“Since it’s the Wasteland over the human side and it doesn’t bring any benefit to you people, don’t cross the ancient force field again in the future. Of course, if the demon tribe on your side has any needs, you can also bring it up. We’ll co-exist peacefully, how does that sound?”
Aesop nodded. “We’ll listen to Master’s arrangement.”
As expected, Aesop didn’t mention the matter about the Peacock Heavenly King.

Once the demon tribe retreated, the Vajra Demonic Ape, Baymax, also left.
Baymax couldn’t speak yet, so communication was a little difficult. However, it could communicate with the demon tribe without problems. It was puzzling how that logic worked.
Through Aesop, Alex knew that Baymax intended to find him after a while. This was certainly not a problem.
Soon, the entire outpost was left with only Alex, Jade, the two principals, Gilbert and Xerxes, as well as the shrunk white cat on Alex’s shoulder. It stretched itself and yawned from time to time, before closing its eyes and going to sleep.
Jade glanced around the outpost that she once guarded with her life. She just felt an emptiness in her heart.
The buildings in the outpost had long been destroyed, and there were rotting corpses of the Flying Eagles members who had fought to death a month ago on the ground. The entire area was filled with the smell of decay.
Jade’s eyes wandered around the entire area as tears fell down her beautiful eyes.
“Jade, don’t be sad. Now that things are like this, it’s still a good result. At least you don’t have to fight on the battlefield every day, and you don’t have to watch your comrades die daily. You can also rest now.” Xerxes comforted her as he patted Jade on the shoulder lightly.
However, Jade slapped his hand away. She turned around and threw herself at Alex, hugging him tightly.
Just then, someone entered the ancient force field.
Alex quickly took the chance to push Jade away and said, “Master, someone is coming.”
The incoming person was the tactician, Eleanor Curtis. Several experts who used to be in the Flying Eagles followed behind her.
Among them were Butcher, Bunty, Danseur, Nora Stewart and so on. Basically all the surviving members under Jade’s team whom Alex had known before were there.
“Sister!”
Nora rushed forward and hugged Jade.
Bunty also rushed forward, but she pulled Alex into a hug instead.
“Good boy, you’re now an international celebrity!”
“You’re more popular than the hottest celebrity in the world! Countless people want to meet you!”
