Around the world in 80 days 20041/1/2024 ![]() Whilst on the Orient Express, Monique learns that Passepartout is trying to return the Jade back to his village, and is travelling with Phileas to get there quickly. They depart in a hot-air balloon, chased by Fang's warriors. When Monique learns of Phileas's ambition, she convinces them to take her with them. Fang had previously given it to Kelvin in exchange for military assistance in China. There, Passepartout is attacked by warriors sent by General Fang, who is after the Jade Buddha that he stole.
