Predicament

The Emperor's eyes changed the moment he heard Alex's words. His face squeezed into a frown as he stared at Alex.

Alex felt a hint of fear inside of him when he saw that. What he said was most definitely not the right thing to say, but it was the best thing he could say in this situation.

"Brother Alex…" Long Huan slowly said. "What are you doing?"

'Go open the Voidgate while he's distracted,' Alex sent a spiritual message directly to the man.

Only then did Long Huan realize why Alex was becoming brass all of a sudden. He was trying to distract his Father.

Was it going to work?

A puppet flew into the cave with Whisker on top of it and landed next to them. Whisker pointed toward the Voidgate without saying anything and turned around to protect the Voidgate in case any attack fell on them.
