By He Tao's side, a group of men and women followed—members of the younger generation of the He Family, all of whom looked at He Tao with envy.
He Tao had been lucky. Just a few days prior, he had discovered a Curse Mark—a Second Stage one at that.
A male member of the He Family said enviously, "Brother Tao, I heard your Curse Mark is really powerful."
A woman came closer and asked, "Is this Curse Mark powerful?"
He Tao was full of pride. He had achieved enlightenment concerning the Curse Mark just yesterday and seemed to glimpse a rising hope. What he needed to do now was to become the leader of the younger generation in the He Family and solidify his own status.
"These days, everyone's been searching for Curse Marks. Most of the ones they find are either incomplete or just First Stage, but mine is a Second Stage one."
A woman from the He Family said, "Brother Tao, can we see your Cursed Instrument?"
