"Yes."
"Very well, Felix. In recognition of your service, I will tell you that this Dark Mask has been imbued with my most powerful curse. Now, the Dark Mask contains over ten thousand years of cultivation. Unless one is a curse practitioner, they will be devoured and unable to obtain any of the cultivation within."
As he spoke, Edmund pulled out a handkerchief and began wiping the Dark Mask, continuing, "People are always insatiably greedy, and most do not realize that their greed is what leads to their downfall. It is precisely because of their greed that we are where we are today. I have mimicked Babbit for a thousand years, and only now have I taken his identity and position. Remember, Felix, I do not kill those who are of use to me. Serve me well in the future, or I will kill you."
"I understand, Lord Edmund." Felix looked at Edmund, shocked to his core. He thought to himself, 'To have mimicked Babbit for a thousand years and only now taken action. Such amazing patience!'
Edmund smiled at Felix and said, "Why, aren't you going to change the way you address me? You are my man now."
Felix knelt on one knee and cupped his hands, saying, "My sincerest greetings, Lord Babbit."
