2024-10-29 19:42:56Cory pushed the restaurant door open and walked in. He stopped and looked. Almost everyone in the restaurant was staring at a beautiful lady who was seated all by herself.
Cory smiled. That was his girlfriend. Sheiley. No man would pretend they didn't see her at first glance. She was an embodiment of beauty.He walked to join her. They were in a stable relationship, and today is their anniversary. It was a great day to be happy."Hey, babe. Happy anniversary." They hugged warmly. Cory kissed her on the cheek, and she giggled.The restaurant was basic, but it was the best Cory could find. The food wasn't overly costly but was pretty good.They both started to gist and talk about random things. They were not going to place an order yet, so they were enjoying the moment.This was the second year of their dating life. Although it hasn't really been a road decorated with roses, yet they have been able to walk through.Because today marked the second year of their anniversary, Cory had promised her to celebrate it in a decent style. Their first year anniversary was a mess.He knew how beautiful she was. He wanted to do right by her and make her happy, even if it would strain him financially.He was a courier who lives from hand to mouth, but should that stop him from treating his girlfriend out? Of course not! Things we do for love!"You were a little late." Sheiley complained, puffing her cheeks.Cory chuckled at how cute she looked, but he knew too well to take her complain seriously."I'm sorry, the last customer was a pain in the ass. I should have been here earlier. I'm so sorry that I kept you waiting." He apologized."It's okay. I understand how they can be." Sheiley nodded softly.Cory reached his hand across the table to hold her hand. He squeezed her hand softly and gently."You are the best." He muttered, looking straight into her eyes."I love you, too." She giggled.While the couple were sharing an intimate moment, about to kick start the dateversary...Suddenly, a dramatic activity came from outside the restaurant. The guests in the restaurant and crowd outside became restless and jumpy. Noise started to grow.Distracted by this sudden noise, Cory looked up, but his eyes caught Sheiley's expression first. Sheiley was staring keenly at the door, looking outside."Babe, what is the matter? What is happening?" Cory asked, looking quite clueless.He was seated with his back to the door, so Sheiley was the right person to ask since she was directly facing the door.Sheiley was distracted by the question and looked at him."I don't know what's happening." Sheiley replied. "But I don't think it's something you should worry about." She dismissed casually.Cory wanted to turn and see for himself, but since Sheiley looked less interested, it would make no sense if he pushed. After all, today was a great day, and they shouldn't be getting distracted.When Cory looked away to the menu, Sheiley started to look curiously at the door. She seemed very interested and invested in what was happening outside the restaurant.Suddenly, she let out a little scream. This startled Cory."Babe. What's wrong?" Cory asked, looking really concerned.Asking the question, he realised that Sheiley was staring at the door again. He turned around to look. He couldn't take her words for it anymore.Cory looked through the transparent door of the restaurant. He didn't have to strain his eyes too much. He could see clearly from where he was.There was a young, handsome man whose aura exuded luxury. He had just stepped out of an expensive black car."Who is that?" Cory asked Sheiley. He believed that she had reacted because of this strange young man. He wasn't dumb."It's no one. Don't worry about it, babe. He is just a new transfer student." Sheiley dismissed but blushed stealthily.Cory was not a fool. He had just caught his girlfriend blushing. But he didn't want to ruin their anniversary. So he planned to leave it at that.He might just be overthinking."Excuse me!" A random voice interrupted them.Cory and Sheiley quickly turned to look at the person who had interrupted them. It was a lady at the next table."Who did you just call an ordinary transfer student?" The lady at the next table asked, glaring at Sheiley.Both Cory and Sheiley were stunned by the lady's question and manners."He's not just an ordinary transfer student. He is Harry! How can you not know him!" The lady at the next table scolded."He is one of the hottest young men in the country. He is extremely rich and handsome. Can't you see for yourself?!" The lady looked really offended as she scolded Sheiley."In short, his father is the third richest man in the country. I heard a rumor that he asked to be transferred here because of a girl -"The lady was still talking when both Cory and Sheiley were distracted by a wave of murmur from inside the restaurant.Everyone turned towards the door of the restaurant. Including the couple.The rich young man who now identifies as Harry haughtily walked through the door. His arms were high, his steps loud. The soles of his shiny shoes tapped against the hard floor. He was dripping charisma.One of the waiters quickly came forward diligently,"Welcome, sir. Please come ---"Harry scornfully shoved and pushed the waiter out of his way. It was a hard slap across the face of the innocent waiter.The waiter fell away, breaking a table and spilling food.Harry didn't give a damn. He walked straight to Sheiley and Cory's table.Without even looking at Cory, Harry turned to Sheiley with a smile,"Do you want to go on a date with me?" He asked Sheiley.

Cory felt like a rock had just hit him in the head. It was as though he was hallucinating or perhaps dreaming. Is this real? If it is, then what sort of an insult is this? He felt blood rushing through his veins. His blood was boiling.He looked up at this strange young man called Harry. Harry was not even looking at him. Harry was smiling at his woman while he was seated!!! Enraged and pissed to the core, Cory hit the table and jumped up on his feet. "What the hell, bro! What are you doing?" Cory bellowed in rage."Can't you see that I'm with my girl here? How dare you just walk in here and disrespect my woman right in front of me?" Cory felt every reason to draw fists, but he didn't yet. He should beat this dumb Harry to pulp for treating him so insignificantly. Slowly, Harry looked away from Sheiley to Cory, who seemed to have been barking in his ears. With the look on Harry's face, it looked like Cory was just being a nuisance. Though Cory was glaring at Harry, Harry didn't

Cory has never felt this humiliated in his entire life. It was as though all eyes in this world were directed to him. The crowd outside, who were mostly students from campus, were still filming. They had their cameras pointing solely at him.There were some of them that were cursing at him. Cory knew that standing there would cause even more trouble and pain. He started to walk away. "What a fool he is!" He heard someone cursing at him. "He was already lucky that someone like her would date him! How could he hurt her?!" Another person hurled blames at him.This was not true. But Cory found no reason to answer any of them. He kept on walking until he made a turn into an alleyway. A few distance away from him, there was his scooter. He dragged his heavy feet, his heart also weighing him down. He couldn't clear his head from the cruel things that Sheiley had said to him. She framed him because of a strange guy. He used to think that she was a different kind of girl. He didn't know

Cory looked up ahead and saw a black Rolls Royce parked by the roadside. At that very moment, he lost the will to continue in his tracks. He just stood there as he watched the scene. The lady whom he had saved from the thugs was standing next to the Rolls Royce. Cory, still standing aloof, watched as the door on the driver's side opened, and a tall and lanky man stepped out of the car. The man's suits were well tailored. He was wearing the Thompson brand. His jaws were well outlined, and his face held a certain amount of danger. Just from standing at distance, Cory could tell that much. How about if he walked closer? He couldn't begin to imagine how terrifying the man would be. The man's tough face suddenly became terrified as he saw the lady. He ran around the car to her and dropped on his knees. "Do not spare me, my lady. Punish me. I shouldn't have left you here for long. I shouldn't have left you here all by yourself." The man begged, hitting his forehead against the hard bi

Cory remained careful and cautious as he followed the lady.They walked into the well structured and opulent hospital. Cory's eyes widened when he saw the name of the hospital. Lily Springs Hospital. He has only seen this hospital on the television and mostly on the news. But he has never come close, let alone walk through the door. Lily Springs was one of the top three best hospitals in the country, and only very influential folks were admitted here.The wealth of a person would have hit a particular mark before such would be considered worthy of being a patient here. As they walked through the building, so many people started bowing and greeting the lady. The gestures from the doctors and nurses got Cory even more curious about the identity of this lady he has saved. They walked into the elevator and in no time were walking through the hallway. The lady finally stopped at the front of a door. At the top of the door was written. VVIP ward. The door slid open in front of her, a

This must be absolute madness. Whatever this virtual interface was, it must be looking for ways to annihilate him!!!If not, why would it suggest such a death sentence for him? He might as well walk to the Huggin bridge and jump off into the ocean and drown! Touch her breast? What kind of instruction was that? The previous instruction he got when he fought the thugs was still plausible. But this?Aside from the fact that he would have to convince her to listen to him, would Theo really sit back and watch some wimp touch his daughter in such a way?!Even Cory was not dumb! He has seen how much Theo loved his daughter and what length he would go to make her happy. Cory might as well just sneak out right away. In the midst of the running and shuffling, he wanted to slip out. Suddenly, a group of doctors entered into the room. The henchmen who had gone to call the doctors walked in behind them, then shut the doors. Cory almost cursed out when the last henchman locked the door. Not on

Cory stopped when he got to the doctor. The doctor's hand was still shaking from the shock that came with the interruption. When a sudden voice had yelled, "Enough!", the doctor had thought that it was Theo. But now, seeing this scrawny youth standing in front of him, the doctor flared up in utmost rage."Who is this wayward lad, and when he did walk into the ward?" The doctor bellowed, glaring at Cory. Cory was not bothered. His face looked unusually calm. It was as though he was a new person. It was hard to tell what had gotten over him. "Where did you come from, and how the hell did you find yourself here? Did you know what you just caused? You just made me cut Miss Anna with the needle." The doctor yelled even harder at Cory. The more the doctor yelled at Cory, the more he wished that Theo would say something. The doctor had intentionally mentioned the cut on Anna's arm to further infuriate Theo and get him to act. It worked. Theo's eyes kindled rage when he saw the scratch o

"This cursed jerk!!!" The doctor suddenly exclaimed. "What the hell are you doing?!!"The doctor moved so quickly and grabbed Cory's hand, stopping it from touching the swell of her breasts. Anna opened her eyes when she heard the shout. Theo's eyes were already on fire. "What happened? What did he do?" Anna asked, looking quite clueless. She was the only one who had no idea what was going on. "I told you, Lord Theo. I knew that this jerk had nothing to offer. I can't believe that he really played his role well to fool you. I was right, Lord Theo. He only wanted to take advantage of her!" The doctor stamped, his honor and ego returning. "Do not spare him, Lord Theo. He has slapped you across the face. Not only did he enter into the ward uninvited, but he also almost assaulted your precious daughter. He also insulted our sacred profession. He deserves to die, Lord Theo." The doctor's grip on Cory's wrist tightened. Anna was sitting up in the bed now. She looked quite shocked to r

"When I'm done with you. You would wish you were never born!" A tough looking man growled at Cory, who was sitting in the backseat of the car. The car was driving at full speed. There were two other henchmen who were seated next to Cory. Cory was in between them. At the backseat of the car. The henchman who had just spoken was the one driving. "How dare you have the guts to do that!!! How dare you even think of it!!!" The driver got even more infuriated. "I should beat the living out of you." The henchman on Cory's left raised a fist. "Break his face." The other henchman who was on the rich urged. As the henchman brought his hand down towards the face of Cory, the driver suddenly pushed hard on the break, making the tyres screech.Everyone at the backseat was shoved to the front, The two henchmen hit their heads hard against the backs of the front seat, but Cory was fine. Cory should have hit his head too, but something unusual happened, and he somehow evaded the bump."Ouch! T

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.

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.

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.
