Chapter 2009

Marcello left alongside his entourage.

After they left, his subordinate asked, “Young Master, how could you gift him such a precious token?”

Marcello briefly contemplated before saying, “He has the Demonic Body, so he’ll be ostracized byhumans sooner or later. When that comes to pass, he’ll become an asset to the Demon Race. Givingthe token to him in advance is akin to paving the way for him. Once he reaches a dead end, joining uswill be his only choice.”

“How wise of you…”

Meanwhile, Marcello took out the pearl once more, which had returned to normal. “The SupremeSpiritual Root… I never expected that there would be someone who possesses the Supreme SpiritualRoot by James’ side. However, I can’t make a move on her for now. I should bide my time,” hemurmured.

Then, he waved his arm, and powerful True Energy gathered in his palm. True Energy entered themysterious pearl, and the black dot disappeared. Then, he catalyzed True Energy and imbued it withinthe mysterious pearl once more. Again, a black dot appeared.

He looked in a direction. “There’s another Supreme Spiritual Root near Mount Bane?”

Marcello intended to leave. However, he realized that someone who possessed the Supreme SpiritualRoot had approached Mount Bane. So, he decided against leaving and waited patiently.

The night passed silently.

The next day…

After making her way here in a hurry, Maxine finally arrived at Mount Bane before nine in the morning.

She looked at the mountain range before her and murmured, “Now, I just have to head over to MountBane. If I enter unrestricted, it would mean that the message on the forum is real and James is stillalive. He really did negotiate with the Overworld and advanced the interests of we earthlings.”

Just as she was about to continue on her journey, a group of people appeared. It was Marcello and hisentourage who had been waiting patiently for a night.

Upon seeing Maxine, Marcello looked at the pearl for confirmation before saying smilingly, “What abeautiful woman… I was almost entranced by her beauty.”

Then, he walked over to Maxine.

The moment Maxine saw them, she immediately tensed up. After all, only those from the Overworldwould appear around Mount Bane.

Marcello walked over to her and said smilingly, “Hello there, beautiful. My name is Marcello Mariano,pleased to make your acquaintance.”

Maxine looked at him and furrowed her eyebrows, asking, “Can I help you?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I just need you to follow us along for a while.”

Maxine’s face darkened as she staggered back.

At that moment, a man behind Marcello instantly appeared before her. Before she could even react, heracupuncture points were struck, and her cultivation base was sealed.

“Wh-What do you think you’re doing?” Her face paled.

Marcello walked over to her with a slight grin on his face and caressed her cheek, “What a beautifulface

Though Maxine tried to break free, her acupuncture points were struck, and her cultivation base wassealed. So, she could not move a muscle.

“Release me now!” she yelled.

“Who do you think you’re talking to, b*tch?!”

Then, a man slapped her across the face.

Smack!

Seeing this, Marcello’s expression darkened as he looked at his subordinate. Then, he raised his arm,and powerful energy gathered in his palm before he struck him in the chest.

His subordinate was immediately sent flying and collapsed heavily to the ground while vomiting amouthful of blood. Then, he lay there on the ground motionless.

Marcello had taken his subordinate’s life. His other subordinates remained silent.

Marcello said coldly, “Remember to treat those who possess the Supreme Spiritual Root with utmostreverence. They will be the future leaders of our race.”novelbin

“Understood,” they spoke in unison.

Maxine stared at Marcello, unable to comprehend his actions.
