His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0607 An ancient general's tomb, there, beneath the Ninth District? "Got it!" With a sharp glint in his eye, Alexander ended the call and wasted no time heading to the Ninth District.

The tomb itself was not the prize—it was the jade amulet within. That jade would make his third, and if it held the same spiritual energy of heaven and earth as the others, it could be the key to unlocking the Lord of War realm for him.

Mister Kane and Miss Chesire have done so much for us. If he needs that jade amulet, we'll get it for him, no matter the risk!" The Green Dragon, Duke of War, wiped the sweat from his brow and chuckled. "You guys..." He was cut off mid-sentence.
