Cory didn't leave the banquet suite because he was really displeased with the president. Instead, he had left because he couldn't get the thought of the young man off his head. He had only used the mistake of the president as an enhancer of his impatience. He took advantage of the situation and was not remorseful.

He could hear Anna calling him, but he didn't listen to her. He knew that she had the abilities and skills of a great manager. If he could entrust the success and growth of the mall to her, then what was the proposal of a mere university that she wouldn't be able to manage?

He had walked out of Viocot by now and was making his way to the back of the building. He didn't have difficulty finding the place. Something deep inside of him was enabling his course.

When he walked to the back of the building, he was impressed by the way the area was carved out.

There were tall fences of strong bricks surrounding the area. The area would almost be mistaken for an abandoned alleyway.

    Anna remained seated on the spot she'd been left. She had stared at the door to an extent and had gotten tired of keeping that up. If Cory had really decided to leave, there was nothing she could do about it. Also, she had no idea how she found him in the hall with the young man. She still believes that he was very much still mad at her. This was one of the reasons why she was quite conflicted at this moment. If he was really mad at her, then why would he entrust this deal with her? Shouldn't he have asked them to kick her out of the banquet hall?Bringing to mind also. What Cory had done in the hall and how he had reacted to the strange young man was very pleasing to behold for her. Very recently, he has been portraying a great deal of jealousy to further amplify how much he really cares about her. She should be flattered and get carried away by the thought of that, but the presence before her snapped her out of the thoughts. She needed to concentrate. She needed to do him proud.

    They all swallowed as they waited for what she would say. Some of the board members swallowed in anticipation. It would seem as though they were mortals awaiting the sentence of a goddess after committing a heinous crime. Awe was seeped in their faces. "How much does the school need?" Anna knew that all this story pointed in one direction. She didn't need to know the backstory of Cory and his past experiences in the school. But based on what the president had just said, it was obvious that Cory was regarded as a loser in the past. But now that things have changed for him, the school wanted him to invest in infrastructures. Anna also could read between the lines! She knew that Havill must have been the one who told the school board about the new status of Cory. She wasn't sure whether or not Cory would love this, but it was just a matter of time before the rest of the students would find out about Cory's real identity. "Well, maybe a couple of millions. Perhaps twenty million dolla

    Cory's body was swung from one head of the confinement to the other. His body was hitting every corner of the electrical barrier, crackling and sizzling every part of his body. He wished this would stop any time soon. This has been going on for quite a while now. He should concentrate on the pain he was feeling, being hurled and thrown here and there, but he decided to shut the pain out. Not because the pain was not there but because he refused to see it!As his body was made a whip that was used to flog the barrier and the pool of electrical fence, his mind was wandering. He had to get out of this place as soon as possible. He had no idea what the supreme god was on about. The major thing he was worried about was being locked away here for too long. The last time he left Earth and had a meeting with Irmais, three days were past. How many days was he bargaining with here, while he was having this fight? He wasn't sure yet. The thought of this and many more worries amplified by tho

    Miraculously, while he chewed the gem, it turned soft and yummy in his mouth. Just as though he was eating an apple, only that it was more tender and softer. Cory could swear that when he was holding the gem in his hand, it was very hard and strong, just like a block of diamond. Then how did it turn into an edible fruit in his mouth and on his tongue? He had no answer for that. He shut his eyes as he chewed, taking in all the aroma and flavor. He savored the taste that soothed every corner of his nerves. It was so exhilarating, and it felt like he had been recharged. He felt his body glowing as though he had just been bathed in gold. While he wondered about all these wonders happening to him, [Ping!

    Cory was in total disbelief as he stared at his hand. He didn't know how he didn't notice this, let alone even feel it. It was a sort of magical inclination. The maggots were trailing his hand, going out of the pores newly created into another one. They seemed to have a sharp blade for mouth because they could easily cut through the flesh and disappear into it. Anna, on the other hand, couldn't remain where she was. She slumped, her eyes feeling dizzy from the gory scene. Then, she fell down, unconscious. Cory didn't go to her aid. He needed to take care of himself first before having to worry about someone else. "What's happening to me?" He wondered, not able to look away from his swollen had that had been made a mess by the gigantic maggots. He couldn't find an answer to his question until[Ping! Conditions analyzed.]The system interface popped up all of a sudden. That was exactly what he was expecting. There was no way he would have been able to crack this code if the system

    Blank! The flame went off, and the shadow disappeared alike. Cory remained glued to where he was. Clueless. He definitely wasn't sure of what to make of this. He could still remember vividly everything that the system had just explained to him. There was nothing worth mentioning that pointed at this madness that had just happened. He remained quite staring into the space. He was expectant. His eyes could tell how much he was waiting for something. It was hard to tell what he was waiting for. But then the idea was not farfetched. From the looks of things, he must be waiting for the explanation of the system. The system should have an explanation for this, too, just as it had an explanation for his rotten hand. He waited and waited, but nothing came. He was beginning to feel really angry this time. He didn't know how to channel the rage. He wasn't sure of whom to blame for this. Whether to blame the system or the supreme god. As a matter of fact, the supreme god has been quiet eve

    "How can you say you don't have any money on you? Are you fucking kidding me?" The bald cab driver yelled at Cory. Cory hated been yelled at or being talked down on. There was no limit to what he could do to anybody who tried to subject him to such a humiliating situation. But in this situation, he was the one at fault. When he had left hone earlier, he hadn't thought about getting money or anything as such. He had only wanted to get to the university to understand why he had been summoned to the Dean's office. Also, who could have thought that he would lose his abilities and skills to a 90,000-year-old man who's acting like a child! When he thought about it, he grunted in displeasure, not sure what to feel in that moment. When he had carried Anna towards the open garage of the Viocot Hotel, he had tried to search for Anna's car. It would be strange for Anna to come to a place without her car!But no matter how hard he tried to look for her car, he couldn't find it. Also, he didn'

    At this moment, it would seem as though Cory's head would explode from confusion. It felt like someone was toying, not only with his wisdom but his mental health, too. He couldn't believe what was hanging right there in front of him. "No! This can't be true! How is the system working? My money is here, too? The abilities and skills are available, too? How? How in the hell is this happening?" From the pressure on his brain, Cory couldn't tell what would happen to him any moment from now. He was shaking his head. It would seem as though he was trying to use that as a tool to create a contrast with the argument supplanted in his head. "I tried to use my powers to heal Anna, but it didn't work. I tried using Eels of the Wind to go back to my penthouse, but it didn't work either. How then are my abilities available if I couldn't use any of them? It wasn't like this a couple of minutes ago before we had a fight. Stop trying to make a fool out of me!!! I know what you did!" Cory's tone ha

    Anna could not understand what was happening. She had stepped to the front, away from Cory, to look closely at the man walking towards her. How could this be her father? She was about to lose her mind. At this point, she had no idea how she was still able to hold up her peace and not go nuts. This was just enough to make her question her sanity. "What's happening? How could this be ---" Anna turned to the back to ask Cory. She suddenly choked on the words. Turning around, Cory was nowhere to be found. It would seem as though he had vanished into thin air. She quickly rushed back into the hut to look for him but she couldn't find him. She ran outside again. She didn't know what to make of all these that were happening to her. She really did wish that she would have an explanation for it. "Did you see him walk out just now?" Anna asked her father, who had stopped walking right in front of the door of the hut. Lord Theo shook his head softly, taking a deep breath. The man slowly p

    Anna choked so hard on her breath that she almost passed out. She had no idea what was happening or what had just happened. She couldn't wrap her head around it, let alone make a meaning of it. But it was real. She could see it right in front of her. There was someone who had just been sliced into several pieces. "Father..." She was having trouble rolling those words over. She couldn't even move closer to the corpse. The head was still hanging in the air. Thud! The head and neck dropped on the floor. She flinched, almost sprouting some unknown wings. She should move forward and touch the corpse. She should fall on the pieces of her father and weep her eyes out, but she couldn't. This was just way too much for her to process. She was trying to understand how this was possible in the whole wide world. How could it ever be possible?She could recall openly that she had left her father back at the mansion. The old man couldn't even move an inch, let alone get to her. She could see

    Anna was lost in the moment and couldn't place her own emotions, not even after she had climbed into the car. It was a cab, and Cory had just hailed at the cab. What had just happened in the building was still very much fresh in her mind. There was no way she was going to throw that away or be distracted from it. She took a glance at the corner of Cory's face. Then, the glance intensified, graduating into a keen gaze. Cory, on the other hand, was staring at the front. It would seem as though she was not even there. "Are you not going to explain it to me?" She asked him eventually. Cory still would not look at her. She didn't want to act as though this meant nothing to her. She hated the fact that Cory was ignoring her. She knew that she could not force the words out of his mouth. He had to be willing, else her worries and questions would forever remain unattended to. The manner at which Cory was staring, Anna could deduce that there was something else on his mind. Although they

    Anna was lost in the moment. She was just wailing over her own troubles and worries when a sudden voice had come out of nowhere. The back figure of the person walking away from her looked rather too familiar for her to ignore. In fact, she didn't have the luxury of ignoring anything at this point. How could she? Her door had been locked perfectly, and there were even men standing watch outside of the door. She didn't even hear the door open, let alone feel a presence until the words hit her. The recurring facts that ran all over the incident made her push her body up in the bed, as now she was kneeling in bed. "Cory?" She was skeptical as she called his name. She wanted to be sure that she was able to place her confusion and get squared up with the main matter;The real situation was the fact that someone familiar was in the room with her and had asked her to leave with him. Cory hesitated at the door and then turned to look at her again. When their gazes met, he saw a whole la

    Standing in front of the heap of dead warlords, Cory shut his eyes and took in all the air of victory around him. He had to be sincere with himself. There might still be a lot of spiritual figures out there in the open waiting to cause another havoc or rain another wave of terror. He had never had any reason to be scared of them. Although one of the reasons why he had come to the island was just to be wary of them. Right now, after killing all these warlords, he couldn't help but come to a conclusion that even if he was running from trouble, trouble would still find him. Henceforth, the determination to carry on with this new level of task overwhelmed him. He had unintentionally unlocked another realm and phase of challenges that he could never let anyone else figure out except himself. All his life, he had learned how to keep such big secrets. How could he be referred to as the Immortal Dao if he didn't know how to be exclusive with some of the things that have been haunting him

    Lord Theo, who was already exhausted from the errands and worries affiliated with the plot they were carrying out, raised his head slowly to look at his daughter, who was fired up by what she was saying. "What are you talking about, Anna? Please go back to bed. You need it." The man dismissed causally as though he had expected her to be up by now. At this point, Anna really didn't know what to feel. She wished that she would be able to choose her feelings, but she couldn't. There was a great measure of disappointment in what she was feeling at that moment. And there was something else, too. Something which she couldn't really reach. She wanted to sigh, but because she was huffing and puffing, she was even having a hard time catching her breath. "Answer my question, father." Her voice became even louder this time. She was trying to make it obvious to him that she wasn't here to joke around. She was here to talk about and review what was bothering her the most. It would be a great

    Anna's eyes slowly opened. When her eyes opened, she felt fatigue, a pool of fatigue washing all over her body. She shut her eyes again to be certain what the problem could be. She slowly opened her eyes again, confiding in the act of precision and timing. Yet the feeling lingered. The fatigued remained. If there was anything, it even became heavier. She tried to roll in bed to the other side, but she felt extremely weak. She had no idea what was happening to her. Rolling on her stomach, she tried to heave her body to a comfortable position, but nothing seemed to work for her. She fell back on her face in bed and started to grunt. "What the hell is happening to me?" She muttered, seeking to understand what the problem might be. The moment when she rolled from one end of the bed to the other, things were beginning to ease gradually. The fatigue and weariness were beginning to wear off. This time, her mind was clearing out gradually. There was a room in her mind to house as many w

    "We must go right away." One of the senators stood up and was headed towards the door. "I'm sorry we can't." The doctor suddenly stepped into the way of the senator. The senator looked so offended and pissed out of his mind. He was staring at the doctor as though the doctor was a piece of garbage who ought not to stand in his presence, let alone lift his gaze to look at him. He scoffed and turned to look at the rest of the senators behind him. "What the hell is wrong with these minions? Is it really our fault that we have indulged them and made them feel so comfortable in our midst?" The senator sounded very judgemental as he rolled those words out. He really didn't care that the doctor could hear him. The senators didn't care about anything at all. They don't care about other people other than themselves. As long as things are going their way, they wouldn't care less to do whatever they thought to be okay. "Now, move out of my way before I rip you into shreds!" The senator thre

    Linda and her father were as still as a hill. They couldn't even make a sound. They couldn't see each other. Talking about seeing, Linda's eyes were drooping over her breasts at this point. It seemed as though the poison continued to lower the thread of the eyes down and down until perhaps it would get to the soles of her legs. This really didn't matter to her yet because the room was too dark for either of them to see each other. Before they were looked inside this room by the two hefty henchmen, they had seen clearly that it was super bright outside. It was noon. How come when they were locked in here, it was extremely dark? They had not been taken to an underground location. In fact, the underground location they had just come from was well lit and brighter than this. Although she couldn't use her eyes well, Linda could still tell this much that this was a very dark room. "Why is it so dark in here?" She asked her father, looking in the only direction she could afford. Down.
