Cory felt groundless. His gaze had moved away towards the leaving couple, yet he didn't feel any urge to hurt them anymore. He should beat them to death for causing him trouble and framing him, but he decided to let the foul feeling go.

He shut his eyes. There was something else bothering him. There was something else that made him feel very disappointed.

He could see Sheiley and Harry on their way out of the restaurant laughing. Eventually, they had left.

Cory remained at the spot where he was. He didn't make a move. He didn't think it was necessary either. He sighed heavily.

"Excuse me, sir." A sudden voice said next to him.

He turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was one of the ladies who worked in the restaurant.

"You've been standing here for quite a while. If you would love to make a reservation, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I'll ask you to leave immediately." The lady said firmly yet politely.

Cory didn't find a reason to be vexed at the lady. S

    When Cory pulled over, there was a man standing at the entrance of the hotel. The man looked to be in his early forties, but he had a finer posture, and his frame was very bold. His presence was quite imposing, and his aura was graceful altogether. Although his gaze was solemn, he was looking from one angle to the other. There was curiosity running from one corner of his face to the other. He looked to be waiting to meet someone. Or perhaps he was expecting someone. When the man turned to the left and saw Cory, his face brightened, and he started to hurry towards Cory. When he got to Cory, he almost broke his neck as he bowed to the earth before him. "Don't be so weird, you fool! How can you bow like that?" Cory felt a little bit embarrassed by the manner at which the man was bowing to him. "Get up." Cory snapped. "Please let me remain like his. It's been forever since you called me. You asked me never to check on you or even trail you. How could I not be worried? And now that I

    This felt like a simulation of a sort. It made absolutely no sense. Not even to Cory himself. He knew that he was mad. He was mad at the waiter who had knocked his phone off his hand and made it shatter almost into pieces. No one would be happy after something like that had happened. But even in the foul mood he had been plunged into, he could never have imagined killing someone out of it. Hence, why he was mute for the next few seconds. He really wanted to process what was happening at that moment, but he really couldn't place it. There were a lot of things to be worried about right now. There were a lot of things he had to sort out, yet he couldn't clear his head. A few of the worries revolved around what had just grown out of his arm. How did it happen? Neither the system nor the supreme god had ever told him that he was capable of doing something like this. He could never have imagined that he could transform his arm into a tentacle, let alone use it to behead someone. What t

    "Boss?" Stephen asked, but the call had been dropped. Stephen just stared at the phone. He didn't know what to do at first. "Which airport?" He thought. He could count about forty-five airports in Emerald City. Which of them does he have to go? There are only five nearest airports from Viocot. In which of the airports could Cory be?Also, what the hell was Cory doing at an airport?! Stephen wished he could find answers to his questions. He redailed Cory's number. "Please answer the call. At least tell me which airport. Please, I beg of you boss." It would seem as though Cory could hear him from there. The call didn't go through. Cory would not answer even when it did go through. After a few seconds,[Ding! Utland airport.]When the message came in, Stephen couldn't have been any more grateful. He quickly climbed into his Lamborghini Urus and drove off. He was certain that in the next ten minutes, he would get there. Even if it meant that he would have the cops tailing him. Wel

    Out of urgency and for the need of safety, Cory spun around to see who the owner of the voice was. There was a strange man standing in front of him. The man was wearing a loose top and a baggy pant. His shoes were way too gigantic for his small his legs, but there was something funny about his head. The shape of his head was something that would send Cory rolling on the floor if he was not shocked right now. Cory didn't want to be distracted by things like that. He continued to inspect this elderly man closely. He could swear on his life that he had never seen this man before. But this man had addressed him in a familiar manner. The man had addressed him as though they knew each other from somewhere. 'Could he be someone from the cathedral? One of the monks?' Cory thought. "Let's get to business then. I'm sure that you don't want to waste your time either." The man's tone was serious, compared to the funny state of his head. Cory remained standing where he was. The way this man

    Emerald City. "This is preposterous!!!" A loud voice rang across the room. "How can you even spew such madness? Do you think we are a joke here?"The man who had raved jumped on his feet. He was wearing a sort of uniform that looked more military than civil, but was definitely not military. There were a group of other people seated opposite him. One of the other people was Stephen. Stephen kept a calm composure. His face was bland, and he was not looking at the man who was raving. His gaze was to the floor, staring in between his Loius Vuitton shoes. He was quite a fashionista. His mind was wandering. He was deep in thoughts. "Mr Governor. Mr Governor." A voice called. When the voice got to Stephen, he snapped out of the thoughts. A little part of him felt bad for getting carried away in a situation like that. If Cory heard this, he knew that Cory wouldn't be entirely pleased with him. "You seemed to be worried, Mr Governor." The middle-aged man who had just called the governor

    Stephen climbed into the car. It was a hybrid car, and the setting of the backseat was set like that of a living room. It was very comfortable and balanced. As soon as Stephen settled into the car, the door was shut, and the driver drove off. The waitress who was wearing a simple gown was reluctant to look up at Stephen. It was hard to tell what was going through her mind. Stephen took a glance at her. When their eyes met, the lady dropped her head again. Stephen took a deep breath and then looked back to the front. He couldn't really see anything since there was a blind shielding the backseat from the rest of the car. The vehicle looked like something that could be used by the FBI to commence a very classified investigation. "You haven't told anyone about it, have you?" Stephen went straight to the point. The lady took a glance at him and then dropped her head again. From her reaction, it was obvious that that question was the last thing she had expected from him. "You have to

    The Mountains. Cory pulled his hand out of the chest of the elderly man! The green gem glowed in his hand as he pulled it to himself. He watched as the man lost his balance and fell to the ground. While he was still staring at the man, savoring the beauty of his victory, he watched as the body of the man started to dissolve into thin air. He didn't want to lose his mind or get blown away. He just kept staring as he watched the wonder happen until there was nothing else to see again. He sighed when the earth became bare. There was no reason to keep getting surprised every time things like these happened. He was no longer a normal human being! As long as he has accepted that fact, then his shock frequency would be automatically disengaged. He tossed the gem into his mouth and started to chew it. It's just like he did the last time. It was the same taste and the same feeling. It was surreal as well as energizing. He shut his eyes as the energy traveled across his body. He could fe

    Emerald City. Stephen stepped out of the elevator, walking into the hallway. He headed down the hallway. There was a man following him closely from behind. It was one of the men from the last location where Stephen had spoken to the family of the deceased. Stephen didn't stop until he got to the front of a door. He knocked on the door. As soon as the door budged from inside, he pushed it open almost immediately. "What can I do for you? Who are you?" The security man in charge of the operating room asked, taking a very serious stance. He was about to draw out his gun and aim it at Stephen, but even at that, Stephen didn't look like someone who was in distress or anything as such. "You might want to put that gun down and walk down to me!" Stephen snapped at the man, hardly taking him seriously. "I will ask one more time. I will be very polite this time, and after that, you will not have the right to blame me for deciding to mess you up." The man had cocked the pistol, and it was d

    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.
