Even Cory, who had recently stopped behind one of the couches, was stunned when those words hit him. Although he wasn't the one whom Anna directed the words to, yet it felt like he had been hit by a ballistic missile. Before Cory could call her name,"Anna!" Lord Theo had beaten him to it.Cory had almost forgotten that he wasn't the only one here. And that Lord Theo was actually the most affected by what Anna had just said. As soon as Anna said those words, she bent down, picked up her bag, and started to walk out of the building again. "Anna! Come back." Lord Theo called at her. He was bewildered and worried. He looked really scared. "Let me explain to you, Anna. Anna!!" The old man did all he could to convince Anna to stay, but she would not listen. She left and walked out of the living room and through the hallway. She walked past Cory and didn't even spare him a glance. It would seem as though he was an insignificant insect. Cory really didn't pick an offense in this. While
Havill, who had passed out ever since he drank from the bucket, suddenly pushed his body up to look towards Jared, who had just spoken. "That means Cory is the new owner of the Consortium?!" He asked with his voice pressured as well as breath labored. Jared took a glance at him, nodding to the question. When Havill heard this, he wheezed and then dropped down again. As if dead. Everyone was in total shock at this moment. But Tiara quickly snapped out of it when she realised that Havill was not in a good state. She quickly hurried towards Havill to help him. "Call the medics. Call them now!" She called orders at her husband, who got to work almost immediately. It would be no good news if words get out that the company had someone pass out. It would smear the image of the Floating Tower. No one wants such a thing for their brand. The guests were flabbergasted. They were stunned out of their wits. Most of them were still grounded in their spots, not sure of what reaction to choose
Lord Theo gasped when he saw this image that was standing right in front of him. He was finding it very hard to draw a closure. He wasn't sure whether this was a human or some generated apparition. He didn't know if he was in his right mind or if he had fallen into a trance. All his life, he had never had the opportunity to scale beyond the altitude of the physical construct. Neither his body nor soul had been able to cross the border of physical influences. So, he knew for a fact that he was in his right senses and was seen with his eyes. But then, if that was the truth and he was seeing with his human eyes, then who the hell was standing right in front of him, towering over him like a supreme being?Lord Theo could swear with everything he held dear that Cory was standing in front of him just a millisecond ago. A millisecond is just like dividing a second into its one thousandth variation. This meant that even if Cory was going to move out of his sight, was there any chance that
There was no car in the open garage of the mansion, so Cory couldn't make the journey less stressful. He could talk to Lord Theo about a car, and the man would give a car right away, but he didn't want to go back inside the house. He had left that behind and didn't find a need to want to go back. Beyond that, he was worried about what happened to him in the building. Nothing like that had ever happened to him. Never in his lifetime. When he first came in contact with the system and a portal had opened in the realms, where he had been able to see his father. That was the only time he had seen and experienced something so close to the spiritual being. Although he didn't see himself when he was transforming into that gigantic and magnificent creature, yet it was his body. It was his body that had been transformed. He would be a total fool to pretend as though he had no idea what it was about. He felt it!!!He had transformed into something beyond his own ideas. Beyond his own logic an
"How dare you keep looking at me?" Anna yelled. "Who are you? Are you a goddess? What was there not to look at?!" Elaine yelled back at her. If they were only yelling at each other, wouldn't it be quite a thing to walk into? But it was way beyond that!They were lunging at each other. Anna was digging her fingers into the hair of Elaine, pulling her hair from the root as though she would pull out the head from the neck. Elaine, realising that Anna had an advantage of height, reached out her hands, pressing her palms to the neck of Anna as though she would choke Anna. They were both yelling and fighting each other. Realising that Elaine was putting pressure on her neck, Anna, scared of losing her breath, swept Elaine off her feet and climbed on her. She started to plant several waves of slaps in every corner of Elaine's face. Elaine would not back down or go down easily, either. She locked her legs around Anna's waist, wrapping them as though her legs were rope. With that, she
Although Cory had shut the door, there was still something he had to shut out. The fact was that the wall of the master bedroom was thick and soundproof. This means that the noise of the ladies would never get to him. But even at that, his mind would not wander off from their struggle. His problem was not the sound penetrating through the wall or door. Instead, it all lies in the state of mind and how to regulate his focus. If he really wanted to get rid of the wandering thoughts, he would have to shut everything out of his head and take total control of his mind. He walked to stand in front of the bed. He shut his eyes. His back was positioned to the bed frame, while his body was facing the wall opposite the bed frame. For the first few seconds, he had a hard time brushing the thoughts of the ladies out of his head. It would only take a heartless person to ignore two women digging fingers into each other's body. It was a bad thing to do. It was not ethical. But he had decided tha
Cory knew the face of this lanky man standing in front of him. The face was very familiar. Also, instantly, he could identify that the man in front of him was the villain, but there were a couple of facts that confused him. First of all, he had never seen the face of the man standing in front of him ever before. Although the face was familiar, and his brain told him who the person was, yet the face was something he had never seen in his entire life. He was very confused. His mind knew that this person was the villain, but the face of the villain was different from the faces of the people whom he had identified as the villain back on earth. Yes, back on earth! He wasn't sure of where he was at this point. He didn't know if he was in the middle of space or in the rear end of the world. But one thing that was certain was the fact that this place sure doesn't look like earth. "I'm sure that you have a lot of questions." The man said to Cory. The voice of the man was dynamic because it
Cory remained kneeling where he was. He felt tears pouring from his eyes, but he didn't make a sound. He couldn't tell for a fact what the cause of this tears was. He couldn't explain what his feelings were either. He wished he had a way to explain, but he found himself clueless. He shut his eyes as the words ran from one corner of his mind to the other. He couldn't get a hold of one of the facts. He wished that he could hold on to one and own it. His mind was busy. He wouldn't blame it. There was way too much information to get acquainted with in just a short period of time. His eyes were shut, but he didn't even know. All he knew was that he had just spoken to the villain, and the villain had told him some live-changing and crazy things which he was trying to come to terms with. Slowly, he opened his eyes again. When he opened his eyes. He realised that he was not in the empty space again. The blinding light was not there, and he was kneeling on a concrete floor. There was a wal
