“Y-You’re…”
Lana took a few steps back in shock.
James put away his Ousias and said offhandedly, “It’s nothing special.”
“What in the…?”
Lana had a solemn expression. She stared at James, trying to discern more about him. However, James seemed impossible to read and was very mysterious.
He had more than ten Ousias.
The Heavenly Path only permitted one to possess nine.
How was it possible for him to have so many?
“Are you truly human?” Lana exhaled shakily.
James reminded her. “I regard you as a family. That’s why I’m telling you my secret. Don’t tell others about it because it might get me killed.”
“Why would you tell me specifically if you knew how contentious this information is and deliberately endanger yourself?”
James simply smiled in return. “You’re like a sister to me! Family shouldn’t keep secrets from one another, right?”
To be accepted by the Callahans, James knew he would have to develop a good relationship with their family members.
He planned to start with Lana. Then, he would gradually get closer to the other Callahans and eventually, win Thea over again.
James planned to tell Thea the truth after he wooed Thea.
Lana nodded and said, “Since you’ve chosen to trust me, far be it for me to betray it.”
Her eyes darted around as she fell into thought.
She was very interested in James. It was amazing that he managed to cultivate more than ten Ousias. When James grew stronger, he would surely become the greatest cultivator in the universe. Lana wanted the Callahans to be associated with this immensely gifted man.
“Your name is James Caden, right?” asked Lana.
James nodded. “Yeah.”
