CHAPTER 4227

Xezal’s cultivation base was a secret.

No Doom knew her exact cultivation base, nor seen her true form, except Dolph Dalibor.

James was amused upon seeing the shadow before him.

The corners of his lips were upturned, as a smile showed on his face.

He then proceeded to ask, "Xezal, how long have you been working for my father?"

The shadow answered, "I’m the bodyguard of the Patriarch and have worked for him ever since he assumed the position.Prior to this, I have also worked for the previous Patriarchs."

James knew all of this after he acquired Wynot’s memories.

However, Xezal made up the most intriguing part of this memory, not merely because she served Dolph, but also Hirah Dalibor and other previous Patriarchs.

"Tell me, what is your cultivation rank?" James asked out of his curiosity.

"The Patriarch is waiting for you at his study." Xezal disappeared from James’ vision with this instruction.His expression turned grave.

"If Father wants to speak to you at this hour, there must be something important.Go quickly.Time waits for no one,"

Yemima urged James.

"Alright."

James then looked at Yemima and asked, "Yemima, have you ever wondered what Xezal's cultivation rank is?"

Yemima rolled her eyes and answered, "How would I know? Why are you so interested in this subject all of a sudden?"

"Nothing much, just out of curiosity."

James did not inquire further but rather marched away from Mount Doom to the main peak.

James arrived at the study and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Dolph’s voice resonated from within the study. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

James pushed open the door and sat down on a chair that was instructed by Dolph.

"Father, what's the matter?" James asked in a preoccupied tone.

Dolph took a glance at him and said calmly, "Wynot, you're too reckless.The participants of the tournament are the cream of the crop.Some of them have even made it to the Chaos Ranking.It's unwise for you to go into the tournament alone.I've found a few suitable team members for you that will assist you."

"That's unnecessary,"

James refused the offer without hesitation and continued to speak, "Father, people in the outer realm are saying that I've managed to become the Minor Patriarch only because I have the Thousand Paths Holy Body and the backing of the Grand Patriarch.They say I have little capability.This is thus an

incredible opportunity to prove myself worthy of the position.If I can’t even win, how would I lead the Dooms to greater heights?"

Being Wynot’s father, Dolph knew of the ambition that his son has had since a young age.His eyebrows lowered, saying, "Confidence is a good thing, but this matter pertains to the ownership of the Chaos Sacred Lotus.If you lose the tournament, the Lotus will no longer be our property."

"There's no if," James answered arrogantly.

After giving James’ words deep thought, Dolph answered, "As your father, I support any decision of yours.No matter what happens, you have my backing.Just do whatever you desire."

Hearing this, James felt reassured.He had a grin on his face as he asked, "Father, once I become the Patriarch, will Xezal serve me as well?"

Dolph stared at his son deeply and replied, "Yes, indeed."
