Benedict was the head of the Oscars.
He was usually very low-key and did not wander outside.
Benedict entrusted the Oscars’ affairs to Yulia.
Yulia had outstanding abilities and managed the family’s affairs very well. Moreover, she had befriended various influential
people.
Benedict had acquiesced to most of her actions and decisions.
He also agreed to host James at their residence today.
Although he knew about it, he did not show up. From his perspective, he was also a powerful person, and he did not need to
befriend other powerhouses.
Thus, he continued with his seclusion.
Tap, tap, tap.
Footsteps resounded.
Yulia showed up at Benedict’s seclusion sanctuary in her red dress. She looked at the man sitting in a lotus position on the
ground and said respectfully, “Father.”
Benedict slightly opened his eyes and looked at Yulia. He nodded and asked, “I thought you were holding a feast for someone.
Why are you here?”
Yulia said, “Father, Mr. Caden claims to be an alchemist and wants to share some of his alchemy experiences with you.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Benedict was surprised.
An Alchemist?
He knew almost all of the powerful alchemists in the world.
However, he did not know who James was.
After being slightly taken aback, he said smilingly, “Presumably, this man is trying to use this opportunity to curry favor with the
Oscars.”
Yulia immediately said, “That’s not true, Father. I saw him make a move with my own eyes. He easily defeated Kai, the Spiritual
Realm’s Lord. His strength has definitely surpassed the current Elixir Pavilion’s Master. He’s definitely at a cultivation rank higher
than a Fifth Heaven Grand Emperor.
“The Elixir Pavilion’s Young Master respects him a lot.
“His cultivation rank must be incredibly high. For us to overtake the Elixir Pavilion, we have to befriend him and pull him to our
side...”
Before Yulia could finish speaking, Benedict’s face darkened.
Yulia noticed and immediately stopped speaking.
Benedict glanced at her and said softly, “You better stop speaking of such things.”
“Yes, Father. I understand.”
Benedict said, “Since you insist, I’ll meet him.”
“This way, Father.”
Yulia gestured to him.
James waited in the reception hall for a while. Then, Yulia returned with a fairly young-looking man. He was probably around his
mid-twenties and looked relatively handsome.
He strode into the reception hall, emanating an authoritative demeanor.
Yulia walked over to James and introduced, “Mr. Caden, this is my father.”
Benedict looked at James. After sensing that James was only at the Sage Rank’s Twenty-Fifth Stage, his face had a trace of
disappointment.
However, he quickly concealed it and sat down.
Benedict said coldly, “Nice to meet you, James. I hope you’re enjoying yourself?”
James looked at Benedict, and the black Curse Inscriptions in his body immediately reacted. Suddenly, James felt as if his mind
had cleared up and entered a different state.
At that moment, he sensed a trace of Curse Power from Benedict.
After sensing the Curse Power, James frowned.
‘Why does Benedict have Curse Power on him? Could he also be a member of the Sanctuary of Darkness?’ thought James.
Jules sat beside him and asked, “What’s wrong with you, Mr. Caden?”
Hearing his voice, James looked at Jules. Once again, he was startled. He could see Jules being surrounded by black energy.
The black energy was Curse Magic.
