"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 had just been treated and was lying in bed. It's been a while since she had been sleeping. Slowly, her eyelids paved, and her eyes opened. What greeted her eyes first were blinding lights. She had to close the eyes again in order to concentrate the rays of luminescence. Opening her eyes again, she looked to the other side. She wanted to make sure that she didn't make the mistake she made earlier. When she looked, she saw two legs standing in front of her. The person was wearing a pair of black suit trousers. She traced the legs of the person up to the body and then to the face. "Cor---" Her words were cut short when she saw the face of the person. It wasn't whom she had thought she would see. Her brows furrowed, and she tried to sit up. "Where is Cory?" She asked with urgency, her brows curling up. She was trying to make it open to the fellow that she didn't really care about him. What made her even a little bit uncomfortable was the fact that the man was not wearing a la
The director almost passed out when he saw this. "How? How did he get the account number?" The director's jaws were all over the floor. Cory and Anna were now outside the hospital. Anna was walking very closely behind him. His steps seemed a little bit faster than hers. When he realized that she was struggling to catch up, he ran his arm around her tiny waist, resting it on her wide hips and big-soft ass. For a sheer second, he took a glance at her ass. He licked his lips when a naughty thought traveled across his mind. Anna felt an electric shock in her body when he grabbed her like that. She couldn't help but look at him, but when he returned the favor, she quickly hid her face. She was blushing really hard. Cory brought out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Elaine." He said when the call was connected. When Anna heard the name he had just mentioned, the blush, joy, and comfort flew away at once. It would seem as though the action was premeditated. Her soft and blushi
It would seem as though time stood still right in that moment. There were a lot to process for both ladies. Anna was on the verge of yelling at Cory for digging his fingers into the eyes of Mara. She had hardly even done that when Mara had said what she had just said. "I can see, Cory. I can see clearer. And quicker." Mara repeated, sounding and looking very ecstatic about the whole thing. Cory was still on his knees. His eyes were a little odd because his face held a note of blackness. Perhaps he was having doubts. He couldn't quite place his feelings either. "Let's not be too excited." Cory urged the little girl, both of his palms on her cheeks. Mara nodded slowly. Cory had a good reason to be worried. He could recall what happened the last time. He had once tried to heal her sight, but he had ended up causing her more pain. Although he didn't put much thought into this before deciding to heal her again, yet he was quite nervous about the situation. Of course, he could trust t
"Step out of the way." Cory's deep voice warned the two ladies as he came to a halt. Anna swallowed when he said this. Elaine was fidgeting, but she was trying to keep a bold composure. She was too weak to hide her fear. Cory could see through the facade. Elaine felt someone tugging at her dress from behind. She didn't have the luxury of time to look, but when she tilted her head sideways gently, she noticed that it was Mara. Mara had jumped off the couch too and was gripping Elaine's cloth from behind. She looked scared out of her wits. "Cory, she's just a little girl." Anna tried to convince him. When Anna said those words, her eyes were not on his face. Her gaze was directed to his waist. One of Cory's hands was at the front, while the other one was behind him!Cory seemed to be hiding something behind himself. What could it be? Something dangerous? Something with which to teach the little girl some lessons?!!This gave chills to the ladies, and their fear skyrocketed. "What
Without any questions asked, Cory headed straight to the door. "Cory?" Anna was the first to raise her head. When Cory opened the door, he saw a black Bentley parked at the open garage of the penthouse. He didn't need to see the person in it before knowing who it was. He turned around to look at the three girls,"I'll be right back. Try your best and don't get at each other's throat." He teased. "Where are you going?" Anna pulled away from the group hug, walking towards him. "I won't be long. Don't worry about me." He assured her. "What do you want me to buy for you on my way back?" He asked her. Anna was quiet for a while. She didn't want him to go. Ever since they started dating, they've never had the time to share personal moments. She didn't like that. She had thought that today would be different since they were all doing bonding! But she obviously was wrong. Perhaps. "I'm running out of time. Send me a text. Also, include what Elaine and Mara want, too. I'll get you ever
Cory blinked his eyes for a while to be certain that his eyes were not playing tricks on him! After a couple of efforts, he realised that he could see clearly! He was in his right mind. This was really Lord Theo standing in front of him!!!He palmed his forehead first to fight back the seeming headache that almost shot up. It worked. The headache died out. If this person who was standing in front of him was truly Lord Theo, then what the hell does that mean?The supreme god had just told him that the man in purple was the leader of the monks!!! The system had told him that the monks are warlords from different realms that are outside earth!If the man in purple is the leader of the monks who are warlords, then what does that make Lord Theo? A warlord, too?! The leader of warlords?!!!"No. No." Cory didn't know when he started arguing with himself openly. He was shaking his head as he argued. This made absolutely no sense to him. After the incident with the poison that Cory had heal
