NovelEnglishChapter 0601 Find another way? In the cabin, Alexander stood tall, his eyes narrowing in determination.
What could possibly have been done then? Regardless of the method—whether it was his keen eyesight, his psychic senses, or the state- of-the-art detection gear aboard the Lord of War—Alexander had cup empty in his search for the elusive island.
Was there any stone left unturned, any gadget they had not tried? "Could it be..." A revelation struck Alexander like lightning as he revisited the USB's analysis. His gaze sharpened, there was a hidden link among the jade pendants. Eight in total, each carved with its own unique pattern, yet undeniably part of ~~ aonce-unified artifact.
"The jade amulet..."
With a swift decision, Alexander gestured decisively and barked out an order, "Aledandra fighter jet, change course—head back to Wyverna, now! "Our target is the Kane family estate!" Three hours later, in the northern reaches of Wyverna, Caleb Kane sat in his study, idly turning over the jade amulet Chrissy had left.
Across from him, Yeilyn watched, her presence a silent comfort against his barely- there smile tinged with sadness.

Ever since the north had settled into peace, his son Alexander and daughter-in-law Amber had ventured to the Northwest's mines and vanished without a trace.
It was as if they would never return, as if the north—and he—were a distant memory.
Leaving Chrissy's pendant behind, Alexander had made his message clear: he had no desire
to recognize Caleb as his father.
Caleb carefully placed the jade amulet against his chest, exhaling a deep, contemplative sigh.
"Yeilyn, I've turned it over in my mind, and it's clear—you're the one who should reach out on my behalf.
"Make tfor a call to Amber, that young one. The piece I mentioned, it's tshe received it." Yeilyn's eyes softened, and she gave a gentle nod of understanding.
She was well aware of the significance of "the piece’ Caleb spoke of—the ancestral jade of the Kane family, a token of acceptance for the women who joined their lineage. It had graced Chrissy's wrist, then Yeilyn, and was destined for Amber, Alexander's beloved.
"The question is, will she even pick up my call?" Yeilyn pulled out her cell phone, Amber's contact info at the ready. Her finger hovered, hesitating only briefly before she steeled herself to dial.

However, at that moment...
Whoosh! A piercing sound sliced through the air above the manor as the fighter jet, named Aledandra, burst onto the scene, hovering a hundred meters up before its cockpit sprang open.
A young figure jumped from the jet, plummeting like a shooting star, and landed with a thunderous crash in front of the study! "Who's there?!" Antonio, the manor's butler, rushed towards the commotion, his eyes widening in astonishment at the sight of the newcomer. * Is it really you, young master?!" The term 'young master’ hung in the air, but Alexander merely acknowledged him with a nod, then bolted straight for the Kane family study without a word.

In the quiet of the study, Caleb and Yeilyn stood up at the stime, their faces flickering with surprise that quickly dimmed.
They turned to Alexander with a formal bow, their voices laced with a hint of sadness, " We're honored by your visit, Temple Lord Kane. Forgivefor not greeting you properly from the start." 1 Alexander's eyes were frosty as he faced the man who was his father in nalone. "The jade amulet. Hand it over." Caleb blinked, taken aback, his heart pounding in his chest.
Was Alexander asking for the jade amulet as a sign of acceptance, at last recognizing his father? ‘The jade amulet was Chrissy's legacy, I've only been its keeper." With a sigh of relief, Caleb drew the pendant from his pocket, his gaze softening, "I've heard about your mining ventures up north, that you might have found a clue to another jade. Is that why you're here?
'l actually wanted to reach out to you. Chrissy believed the pendants shared a mysterious bond, that they might resonate when close..." However, Caleb's words were cut short. With a swift gesture, Alexander summoned an unseen force that wrapped around the jade amulet, effortlessly pulling it from Caleb's grasp before he strode out the door.
"Alexander!" Yeilyn's voice broke as she stepped forward, watching his figure disappear into the distance.
"Won't you forgive Caleb after all this time? He's been here, quietly watching over you, always caring...
"Just a short while ago, Caleb had mentioned his intention to gift the family's ancestral jade to Amber, your wife and the Kane family's beloved daughter-in-law." Ancestral jade...
Right then, Alexander was soaring through the
