?*Another name for this chapter: Jade's Daily School Life

????Only after putting the jade pendant in Section 13's basement could Jackie Chan be relieved a little. Hak Foo was more skilled in martial arts after a few months. For Jackie and Uncle, a lot of effort had gone into bringing the pendant safely to Section 13.

????"Whoosh, in this way Hsi Wu won't take the pendant."

????"Phut!"

????"Oh!"

????Uncle looked at the pendant sternly, "Uncle has the willies."

????Uncle was not as optimistic as Jackie who thought it was secure to put the pendant in Section 13. During these days when they fought against Hsi Wu, some of his schemes were thwarted though he was not locked into the Netherworld. But Uncle's foreboding feeling was stronger and stronger.

????If Hsi Wu craved the jade pendant so much, why did he not appear? No one observed his trace these days; even the satellites could not capture his shadows. What on earth was he plotting?

????"Uncle will do research. One more thing, Jackie, make tea for Uncle! How could Uncle do research without tea?"

????Jade's school was at recess now. Kids were playing on the lawn. Football, books, gales of laughter.

????Jade and Seymour were reading comics together in the shade – Book Five of Super Moose. The school was on fire in which a child was trapped. In the nick of time Super Moose cracked the window and took the child flying into the sky. But that Evil Moose took this advantage and escaped from his grasp.

????"The Evil is bound to be defeated by Super Moose."

????Seymour turned his head and looked at Jade, whose eyes glistened with excited light, shining in the tree's shade. Maybe one reason why Jade read Super Moose the Comics with him was to encourage him. Evil Moose planned to rule the world but whenever his plan was nearly accomplished, Super Moose would stand forth, turn the surging tide, and save the world. Maybe Jade wanted to tell him that he could also defeat his Evil.

????Seymour blinked and smiled, "En!"

????He is bound to defeat his Evil.

????But neither Seymour nor Jade knew that Hsi Wu was also at school at this moment. He hung upside down in the shadows of the eaves, wearing a shuddering smile, in whose blood-red eyes reflected Miss Hartman.

????"The time comes…"
