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
Cory should be smitten into smithereens by a rolling rock of surprise, but he wasn't. He was definitely moved by what he had just heard, but something deep inside of him would not avail him the luxury of being surprised. He kept a long stare at Lord Theo. The monks had expected him to gasp or make a reaction inspired by shock, but neither of them came. The monks were quite intrigued by his composure. Some of them believed that he was scared out of his wits but was feigning composure. A lot of ideas were flying around as stares sat in his face. "You didn't seem surprised." Lord Theo admitted to his face. Cory scoffed. He had no idea why he scoffed. It was high time he stopped pretending as though he didn't know what was going on! He knew what was happening! His recent reactions must have been inspired by the supreme god. "The biggest of the surprises was already gone!" Cory replied, his voice shallow, but his tone was very precise and deep. Everyone kept a close gaze at him. It w
"Did I hear him right?" One of the monks muttered, inquiring of the other person next to him. "I'm trying to be certain, too." The other monk replied. The monks were having a hard time believing what Cory had just said. It didn't really make any sense to them in the first place. For someone who had just insulted them and talked down on them to deride their movement, Cory must be crazy to have decided to join them. That was exactly what the monks were thinking about. "Is this true?" Lord Theo asked Cory, a hint of disbelief idling in the corner of his face. "What do you think I am? A clown?!" Cory scoffed. "Even if I was a clown, would I make such a joke? A joke about joining a cult?!" Cory added. When Cory started talking again, the monks started to get displeased. It would seem as though Cory had no filter in his mouth. "Cult?" Lord Theo pointed out why the monks had taken an offense in what Cory had just said. "If you say it like that, then it would seem as though we are bad
Cory didn't know what to make of this. At least not yet. His eyes dug into every corner of Lord Theos face. If there was anything he was looking to prove first, it was whether or not Lord Theo was in his right mind. When Cory inspected the facial expression of the old man, the smile that used to hide his emotions was gone. Lord Theo's face was now very serious and intentional. This is not a joke. Cory could tell. "What do you mean she's not yours?" Cory inquired, not willing to hide the shock no matter how little. Lord Theo was quiet for a while. It looked like he was trying to put the thoughts together. Perhaps an attempt to sort his thoughts out. "She can still count as my daughter, though,since I've dedicated all my life raising her." Lord Theo continued. Cory wasn't satisfied. How could he be? This definitely wasn't what he was waiting to hear. He wanted more! A very apt and detailed explanation. "Can you at least explain to me?" Cory decided to bring himself down to the ear
