Chapter 2008
Marcello apologized, "Sorry, I overstepped my boundaries."
James sat on a rock and pointed at one beside him, saying, "Have a seat."
One of Marcello's subordinates walked toward the rock and put a cloth on it. Only then did Marcello take his seat.
Xandra, meanwhile, remained silent throughout the conversation.
Marcello asked, "By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."
James said, "James Caden."
"What a nice name... You truly are impressive, James. You managed to fight five powerful figures to a standstill and almost manage to annihilate one," Marcello praised him.
'Though I sense that you have a low rank, your physical capabilities are impressive. That black lotus of yours is truly bizarre. You seem to be able to control it as you please."

James looked at him. It appeared that Marcello had arrived at Mount Bane long ago and had been spectating the battle from afar. However, he had no idea what Marcello was
up to.
"I don't mean anything by that." Once he saw James' puzzled look, Marcello smiled and said, "I'm just curious... As an earthling, how did you manage to possess such terrifying
Demonic Energy? And your physical body... This is a Demon Race's physical body. If I'm not mistaken, your physical body should have been formed by the Demon Race’s
ultimate relic."
Hearing this, James was stunned.
Who was Marcello? How did he manage to see through him and the fact that his physical body was formed by the Demonic Lotus?
"Haha..." Marcello laughed. "Calm down, I don't think having Demonic Energy is necessarily a bad thing. So what if your physical body is full of Demonic Energy? After all, the
Demon Race isn't exactly a bunch of wicked and heinous monsters, am I right?"
James remained silent.

Taking the hint, Marcello fell silent too. Then, he pulled out a token from his pocket and handed it to James.
James looked at the token and asked puzzledly, "What is this?"
Marcello said smilingly, "Just take it. It might come in handy in the future."
Hearing that, James accepted his gift.
He scrutinized the token, noticing that it was rather modest in size and pitch-black. On one side was a pattern of a mountain, while a bunch of characters was carved into the
token on the other side.
Though he could not understand the characters, he felt a sense of familiarity when he touched the token.

Before he could react, it suddenly transformed into a black aura and entered his palm, disappearing without a trace.
"What?" James was stunned.
Marcello smiled and said, 'Try feeling the insides of your body."
Hearing that, James did as was told.
He realized that a black fog had appeared inside his elixir field. He instinctively knew that it was the token.
"You!" James stood up and stared Marcello in the eye, questioning, "Why do you have such a thing? What are you? Are you a demon?"
"Hahaha!" Marcello burst into a peal of laughter. "'Demon' is what others call us. We will meet again, James. Farewell."
Marcello laughed and turned to leave, while his subordinates followed close behind.
Meanwhile, James remained rooted to the spot.
A thought flashed through his mind, and the black fog inside his elixir field swiftly gathered and circulated throughout his meridians. Next, a black fog appeared in his palm and
formed a token.
"Wh-What is this token? What does it have to do with the Demonic Lotus?" James murmured.
