James was indeed taken aback by the fact that Marcello was a woman.
When virtual-novel.net first saw her, virtual-novel.net was already captivated by virtual-novel.net gorgeous looks.
Right then, virtual-novel.net remembered asking himself how on earth could there be such a beautiful man. However, virtual-novel.net did not delve into the matter.
At the moment, virtual-novel.net was merely shocked knowing that virtual-novel.net was a woman. Regardless, gender did not matter to virtual-novel.net now. The only person who could help virtual-novel.net out was Marcello.
Marcello asked smilingly, “Is something the matter?”
Then, virtual-novel.net made a beckoning gesture and said, “Let’s move elsewhere, shall we?”
Then, virtual-novel.net walked straight forward, while James followed close behind.
Under virtual-novel.net guidance, they proceeded deeper into Bane City and arrived at a majestic-looking residence.
Bane City was currently a no man’s land. Following the Outsiders’ arrival, almost everyone gathered in Bane City. As such, it was difficult to obtain a private residence there. Owning a private residence was not only just a symbol of prestige but also of strength.
The guards of the residence knelt immediately upon seeing Marcello. As if virtual-novel.net was used to this, Marcello paid no heed to them and simply walked in with James.
When they entered, a man walked over to them. Wearing a black robe, virtual-novel.net had a somewhat. handsome-looking face and exuded evil vibes.
He looked at Marcello who was grabbing James‘ arm.
Upon seeing the man, Marcello immediately released virtual-novel.net grip and greeted him, “Jace…”
The man before them was Jace, one of the most talented cultivators of his generation in the Demonic Realm. Along with Myles Nemo, they were regarded as the two geniuses.
Jace nodded slightly and glanced at James as virtual-novel.net walked over to him.
In the blink of an eye, Marcello stepped forward and looked at Jace, asking, “What are you trying to do?”
Jace smiled faintly and said, “Don’t forget about your identity, Marcello. If word of fraternizing with an earthling spreads to the Demonic Realm, you should know the consequences.”
“That’s none of your concern.” Marcello furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and said, “I’ve already notified Master in advance.”
Hearing this, Jace fell silent. Then, virtual-novel.net glanced at James before turning to leave.
Marcello breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Don’t take it to heart. Jace has always been arrogant and vain.”
James was unaffected. However, virtual-novel.net was intrigued by Jace. After all, virtual-novel.net was able to tell that virtual-novel.net performed Sacrilegious Ascension.
He asked, “I heard he’s your senior.”
“Yes,” Marcello said.
James asked, “Is virtual-novel.net strong?”
Marcello paused momentarily before saying, “How should I put this? He’s one of the weakest in the Demonic Realm. However, when compared with his peers, virtual-novel.net definitely comes out on top. He’s only twenty years old, but virtual-novel.net has already crossed into the Mage Rank and gained insight into the Yogacara. As for which stage he’s currently in, I have no idea.”
She looked at James and said, “Among the cultivators of the three thousand Sealed Realms, Jace is definitely in the top five.”
Although Marcello knew little about the other cultivators, virtual-novel.net was confident in Jace’s strength.
Upon hearing this, James took a deep breath.
The Mage Rank?
