Cory rose to his feet. At this moment, he felt really refreshed and light. Although when he had seen the trance, his heart was engulfed heavily by sadness, but it felt like something took all the gloom away. It was as though a light had shone out of nowhere on his whole existence. There was a hint of pain that lingered in his heart, but because the sadness had vanished, he couldn't hold on to it. The disappearance of his father must have taken all his sadness away. He walked out of the bathroom and got dressed up. His stomach was beginning to make some funny noise. He hadn't had anything to eat since the day broke. It was such a long day for him. He knew that he would have to take time for himself and have a recount of everything that had happened to him since the beginning of today. He settled in one of the couches and shut his eyes for a while. He took in as much deep breaths as possible in order to clear his head. Whatever he was about to do right now would impact his decision
Cory stood his ground. He found no reason for him to be scared by the both of them. There was no use for it. In short, if they knew what he was capable of at this moment, they wouldn't dare to provoke him, let alone pick a fight. He didn't want to have a ruffle with them either, so he was planning to leave as soon as possible to go get the food. "Are you following us?" Sheiley stopped in front of him as she accused him frantically. Cory felt the impulse to laugh at how foolish she sounded, but he held it back. If he laughed hard, it would only make him hungrier. "Do you have no shame, Cory? How dare you follow us to my penthouse?" Harry raised his voice, his eyes getting red as he approached Cory. This is a wealthy neighborhood, so Harry happened to own a penthouse here. Harry stopped next to Sheiley. The couple was glaring death at Cory. At times like this, Cory could not help but wonder if Sheiley was a total stranger. "Do you hear how dumb you sound?" Cory retorted, staring
Cory walked away. "Come back here!!! Where do you think you are going?" Sheiley screamed so loudly her throat would tear. She was caught between the claws of chasing Cory and going to attend to her boyfriend. She couldn't believe what had just happened, yet she knew that she had to decide quickly. She stopped in her tracks, panting heavily as she watched Cory walk away. She gritted her teeth, her face turning red, yet she couldn't do a thing. When she heard Harry groaning behind her, she quickly turned around and hurried to him. "Babe. Are you alright?" She reached out to help him up. "Don't touch me!" Harry knocked her hand off, slowly getting up on his feet. Sheiley was stunned by his reaction. This would be the second time that he would treat her this way. Harry felt pain all over his body as he stood up tall. It was obvious that a couple of bones had been broken in his body."Where is that bastard?" Harry wanted to run after Cory. When he made the first two steps, a sever
Cory turned around quickly to see who the person was. At first, the voice was not familiar, and when he turned, the face was neither. A very beautiful, white skinned, and tall lady walked towards the table. She wore a black skimpy gown that revealed almost all her thighs. Her thighs were so clean and succulent to gaze upon. Cory's eyes quickly traced the gown to the face of the lady, but his eyes stopped at the cleaveges. Her breasts looked so handful and well packed. Cory gulped at the sight. He could feel his big man tugging. But then he recalled what the lady had just said! He snapped out of the fantasy. What a fool he was!Looking at the face of the lady finally, his eyes squinted. She was no doubt beautiful. In short, her body shape and beautiful skin did no justice to how pretty she looked. Cory wanted to allow himself to be distracted by her looks again, but the smirk on her face threw him off the positive feelings. "What is a lowlife like you doing in an expensive restaur
There was a dead silence that paced the whole restaurant. The people really didn't understand what the status of the situation was. When Cory had announced that he would pay for everyone, the pretty lady had thought that he was saying it to save face, and that was why she had been following him closely from behind. But now that Cory had stopped at the counter and announced to the waitress that he would like to pay, she couldn't begin to imagine her disbelief. "You really are going to keep pretending?" The lady scorned, standing just behind him. Cory felt no reason to look at her. He just wanted to pay and leave immediately. "This is not too late. You can still swallow your pride and come to your senses. Do you think this is a joke? Is your crush around? Are you trying to impress her, or do you think -""Shut up!!" Cory spun around, snapping at her. The lady gasped when he snapped at her. She could never have imagined that Cody would be brazen enough to yell at her. She was suppo
It would seem as though an icy flood of water was poured on Cory from his head to the toes. This was the last thing he wished for himself. Not when there were a hundred prying eyes waiting to mock him. The system has never lied to him. The system has always helped him complete his tasks. Then what went wrong this time?Suddenly, he recalled what had happened when he treated Anna. He had treated her and had done as the system had instructed. But the treatment didn't take an immediate effect. Could that be the same situation here? Could it be that the system was getting acquainted with the process because it was the first time? "Why are you so quiet suddenly?" A sudden voice knocked him out of his thoughts. When he turned, he saw a proud Elaine with a smirk in her face. She must really be enjoying the moment. "Did cat catch your tongue? Oh, now you are not bold anymore?" She scorned, walking closer to him. "Didn't I warn you? I told you that big talk does not cut it. Now what? You
Elaine felt glued to the spot. She was just trying to escape. She wanted to use the parley going on between Cory and the manager to her advantage, but it seemed as though luck was far from her. She was worried that Cory would take this seriously. She turned around to look at him. There was a fake smile on her face. She didn't want him to see through her worries. "What are you saying? Don't tell me that you took what I said seriously." Elaine scoffed, wearing an indifferent face. Cory just stared at her for a while. He could see right through her. "And why not? Why won't I take it seriously?" Cory asked. "I mean. You should know that it was just some random talks. Nobody would take such a thing seriously." Elaine defended. "I'm sure that everyone here will agree with me." Elaine looked away from him to the rest of the people. "Or won't you all?" She called at the people. None of the people answered her this time. They were skeptical. They were still worrying and bothered about w
Cory was surprised. He couldn't have imagined that Harry would know his slave. He quickly took a glance at Elaine and then back to Harry. Looking back at Harry, he noticed that Sheiley was also stunned to see Elaine. At this point, Cory couldn't help but wonder who this Elaine really was. "Isn't this the most beautiful and popular actress of the trending Love series?" Harry looked so thrilled as he gazed at Elaine. "She is. This is the great and classy Miss Elaine." Sheiley nodded, looking quite surprised too. Cory was the only confused one here. How come he was the only one who didn't know this Elaine?Well, before Cory got the system, his life was pretty boring. He had no friends, no help, or nothing like that. So, all his life, he was always about riding the company scooter and delivering packages to customers. He never had the chance to sit by himself for a day. Most times, he would get back home late and slump into bed, still dressed and dirty. Things changed a little bit w
