You might consider another perspective... maybe you are just too weak?

The Phoenix clan and the Devourers were two entities Alexander had never heard of before. 

Of course, the Phoenix clan was easy to understand; it was probably the tribe of the Firebird, and Ashlyn was one of its members. 

As for the Devourers, Alexander had truly never heard of them. According to Ashlyn, did this group also possess a strong life force?

"You could tell me a bit more about the Devourers; I'm quite interested," Alexander said.

Ashlyn stared at Alexander, her face filled with increasing confusion. Could it be that Alexander really wasn't a Devourer? But if not, why did he possess an aura similar to that of a Devourer, and why was it so powerful? 

However, looking at it from another angle, she was now completely in Alexander's hands. If Alexander really was a Devourer, why would he waste so much time talking?
