Chapter 2007


    Maxine learned that James was still alive. To verify the truth, she headed to Mount Bane overnight.


    In the silence of the night, there was a bonfire at the foot of Mount Bane.


    James was discussing matters with Xandra when a group of people appeared in the distance. In the


    lead was a man wearing a white robe, his skin fair and delicate. He was holding a white pearl the size


    of a fist in his hand. The pearl glimmered a faint light, and there was a ck dot darting about inside


    the pearl.


    However, as if sensing something, the pearl in his hand trembled violently. Then, a ck aura gushed


    toward the pearl. In an instant, the white pearl was nowpletely dark.


    “What?” The man was stunned. “What terrifying Demonic Energy…”


    He had never sensed such majestic Demonic Energy in his world.


    The pearl in his hand was an invincible treasure gifted to him by his master that was capable of sensing


    the presence of Supreme Spiritual Roots that were contaminated by Demonic Energy.


    A man behind the man in a white robe said, “I never expected to encounter someone who possesses


    the Supreme Spiritual Root. By the way, why did the pearl turn ck all of a sudden?”


    “A Demon Emperor…?”


    The man in a white robe furrowed his eyebrows. Then, he put the pearl away and walked toward


    James.


    Sensing the presence of a group of people, James stood up and looked at the man in a white robe and


    his entourage.


    The man looked at James and shed him a smile. He was even more alluring than some women out


    there.


    James stared at the unweed guests before him. Sensing their aura, he immediately knew they


    were not earthlings.


    “Hello.”


    The man walked over to James and extended his arm, his skin fairer and more delicate than most


    women. He said smilingly, “My name is Marcello Mariano, nice to meet you.”


    Seeing that Marcello was being amiable, James lowered his guard and shook his hand. Marcello’s


    hand was as soft as a woman’s.


    James loosened his grip almost instantly after shaking hands.


    “Is something the matter?” James asked.


    Marcello smiled and said, “Since I’ve only recently arrived on Earth, I’m not familiar with the area. You


    seem like a local, so I came here to make your acquaintance.”


    James could tell that Marcello was not from Earth. Although Marcello acted friendly, James had no


    interest in making acquaintances with these Outsiders.


    “Hey there, don’t misunderstand things. Ie in peace. I came to Earth to familiarize myself with the


    environment here in advance. I really don’t mean you harm,” Marcello said.

    His voice was melodious. James almost thought he was a woman.


    Marcello walked over to James and wrapped his arm around him, saying with a smile, “I think we can


    be good friends.”


    James pushed him away.
