*Another name for this chapter: Treasure Destroyer
????The earth quaked and the mountain shook. The ancient temple fell with a huge rumble, dust rising about all over the sky. Jackie Chan coughed fiercely and walked slowly out of the dust, holding a jade pendant, on which carved two fishes, each one's head clinging to the other's tail just as in the Taiji Diagram.
????"Uncle, I've got the pendant."
????Uncle was not delighted at all on seeing the pendant. He hit on Jackie's head and roared: "Jackie, you destroyed the temple! It had a history of eight hundred years!"
????Jackie was also reluctant. He had not meant to destroy the temple but there was something beyond his control. He did not know either the temple would be triggered to destroy itself once the pendant was taken.
????"Uncle, the emergency is to send the pendant back to Section 13 lest Hsi Wu takes it."
????This jade pendant had a history of one thousand years, forged according to Taiji and hiding the power of yin and yang. If Hsi Wu had the pendant with the pair of yin and yang fishes, he would recover his strength free from the effect of separated good and evil halves.
????"Thank Jackie for helping us to take the jade pendant. Could you give in it to us?" Four shadows walked out of the jungle at this time: Finn, Ratso, Chow, and Hak Foo.
????"The men of the Dark Hand." Jackie gave the pendant to Uncle and was ready for the upcoming fight, "Why are you now working for Hsi Wu?"
????Uncle put the pendant into his bag and stepped back, making way for Jackie's fight.
????Ratso: Who is Hsi Wu?
????Chow: Perhaps the Sky Demon? We saw him before.
????Ratso: Hasn't he been locked in the Netherworld?
????Finn: We don't work for Hsi Wu. It was a Dark Chi Wizard who had us take the pendant.
????Chow: And he promised us a fortune.
????Ratso: Though we haven't got it.
????Finn was choked by Ratso's words and poked him with his elbow.
????Ratso did not know why Finn pushed him. He spread out his hands perplexedly, "What's wrong?"
????"Don’t make nonsense, strike Jackie Chan to the ground!" Hak Foo leaped high and waved his fist at Jackie, "Bear's Clows!"
????Chow: "Shall we aid Hak Foo?"
????Finn: "No, we should fetch the pendant."
????Ratso: "You're right. The pendant is more important."
????Taking the advantage of Jackie tangling with Hak Foo, the three bypassed their battlefield and approached Uncle from three different directions. Though besieged by three, Uncle was not panicked at all. He clenched his fists and posed for the fight in no hurry, "Do you want a piece of Uncle?"
????In Section 13, policepersons came and went. Everyone worked hard and was always busy to keep running the immense institution.
????Among a swarm of policepersons whose two strides equaled others' three, two idle figures seemed not among them: They were Jade and Seymour.
????Jackie and Uncle went to take the treasure thousands of miles away, Tohru minded the shop in Uncle's Rare Finds, and Jade and Seymour battled on the game machine after finishing their homework, though it was always Jade who overwhelmed Seymour.
????Seymour's coming did not arouse any talk at school. After all, no one in the school knew his demon identity. What might have had an influence was that Jade and some students were estranged more due to his coming. The gang with Drew as its head dared not be near Jade these days because Seymour on her side gave them too much pressure.
????Jade's fingers tapped the keyboard swiftly and defeated Seymour with her ultimate move.
????"Yeah! I win again!"
????"You are so awesome!"
????"Another game!"
????"Okay!"
