But Old Jack was not a refined person and never made anything delicious for Ashley; the food he ate every day was still brought by Ashley from her home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to worry about anything else. Just stay here for a few days. I’ve already arranged for someone to notify your Aunt Anna.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis took a sip of his tea, smiling as he spoke to Ashley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already asked around; Ashley was a child adopted by a widow named Anna, who earned some money to support herself and Ashley helping out at a hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was later sponsorship from Old Jack, it seemed that Anna could not stand to be idle, still going out to work every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Lis decided that when Joyce officially took Ashley as a disciple, he would have Anna move in as well, to help out a bit with cleaning the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Old Jack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was better, of course, he would return to Langai Street!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he interact with that group of players and play his role?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashley quickly swallowed the cake in her mouth and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got it, thank you, Brother Lis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis patted Ashley’s little head, liking the feel of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ashley, soon one of my elders will take you as an apprentice, and after that, you’ll be my sister Lis. From then on, you can call me brother or elder brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got it, Brother Lis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashley nodded, though she was still not very clear on the details, she could feel Lis’s kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis smiled and said nothing, quietly waiting for Joyce’s arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while, the door to the study was pushed open from the outside, and Joyce walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he was not wearing his formal butler uniform but a black coat with matching lightweight gear. He no longer had the previous elegant and relaxed demeanor; Joyce now seemed to have finally awakened, his edge fully apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joyce had prepared himself formally—it was, after all, his first disciple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Joyce enjoyed the comfort of wearing a butler’s uniform and as a child before being adopted by the Kane family his dream was to become a noble’s butler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis rose to his feet, and Ashley, seeing this, also quickly stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this my teacher?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashley looked curiously at Joyce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems to be about the same age as Uncle Jack; is he really better than Uncle Jack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ashley’s eyes, Old Jack was already the most formidable person she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, indicating that there was no need for Lis to introduce him, Joyce stood in front of Ashley, looked down at her, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, I’ll be your teacher, Little Ashley.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My name is Joyce, just call me Teacher Joyce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got it, Teacher Joyce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joyce nodded, sat down on the main seat sofa, and Lis and Ashley also sat down, with Lis letting Ashley sit closer to Joyce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joyce got straight to the point with Ashley,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ashley, you’ve studied under the Golden Assassin named Jack before, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Uncle Jack taught me a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashley replied earnestly, sitting there properly, already sensing the difference in Joyce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashley inexplicably felt very close to Joyce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the feeling she had when Anna was out, quietly staying alone in the dark shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Talent is very good; it’s a kind of Talent called ‘Shadow’s Son,’ which allows you to naturally be in affinity with the Shadow Plane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You probably like staying in dark places, right? That’s the influence of your Talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>",966,"2026-06-03T10:58:20.093Z","2026-06-03T10:58:25.962Z",1,"novelbin.me","45dbe223c12e6f9f1a0458b6fa329ed2128f3a39e3def20c9f529d1443e532c2","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-133","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-131",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
