Richard was having trouble putting his thoughts in place. He really didn't know how to place this, although he was trying his best. He had only just seen Cory whom he had been looking for, and while he was still wondering how Cory had gotten to that spot, leaving where he had lain him, something else had cut his worries short. 'Savior?' He tried to understand what the ladies had just called Cory. He had no idea what to make of it. What does this mean? Does this mean that Cory had met the girls before? If that was the truth, then what was the occasion?Richard was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't know that Cory was now standing about three steps away from him. He wanted to linger in thoughts, an attempt to lay his hands on the most plausible explanation for the situation. All of a sudden, an action nudged him out of the thoughts;When the girls had called Cory, Richard had been distracted. Being distracted meant that he lost his focus on the aim of the gun, too. So, he was not
The girls screamed when the bullet was let out of the metal. For them, this was it. This was where their fate ended. The fierceness of the reality further dawned on them when Cory fell to the earth. They all covered their mouth in horror, making all attempts to muffle the scream. Was this really the end for them? Have they successful being launched into the military rule of Richard's hostility?None of them knew what to think at this point. A couple of them had their heads blank and couldn't help themselves either. "I warned you." Richard's loud voice was heard blaring at them. He was walking in that direction. The girls knew that they should run for their lives, but they could not. They all remained at that spot. Some of them were already mourning the death of Cory. How could the man who have saved them from the cannibals die just like this? But then, when they recalled that he was up against a gun, there was nothing much to sustain the argument with. They were wailing and cryi
The ladies froze in shock. They were so white from shock that they didn't know when Cory walked past and was out of their sight. The body of Richard made a loud thud on the ground before the girls could snap out of the shock. Yet there were still a couple of them holding on to the mirage. They stayed glued to that spot and could do nothing but blink their eyes momentarily. If blinking was not an exercise exclusive in his own right, they probably wouldn't be exercising it at that moment. After several moments have passed away, they were slowly beginning to get a grip of themselves. Cory kept walking down the woods until he got to a place where there was so much soil than trees. He took a couple of steps to the front and looked around him first. Although if someone was trailing him from behind, he would have been able to tell without even turning to check out the person. Yet, for a reason best known to himself, he turned to inspect his surroundings. He saw the bunny in a distance,
When Linda questioned him, Cory's eyebrows furrowed in rage. One of the reasons he had decided to come this far into this island that he bought was because he wanted a life of solitude. A life of solitude meant that he wanted to embrace celibacy and abstain from everything and anything that has to do with sexual intricacies. If he wanted two hundred beautiful women to keep him company on the island, he would have asked his errandboy to go fetch them for him. In fact, if he wanted to build a harem, that would be the least of his worries. What Linda had just said to him offended him a great deal, but he didn't want to act on it. If there was anything he had learned during the process of cultivation, it was the fact that celibacy and utmost focus were the fastest routes to perfect a spiritual life and energy. Celibacy keeps the mind pure, and the spirit is not smeared. Utmost focus in a quiet environment enhances connection and clears out pressures that could foul the air and reduces
All the girls had returned to the tent. They couldn't tell how they got back there, but they were all seated on the rug, staring blankly into the space. A couple of them had their minds wandering around the scene that had unfolded before Cory vanished into thin air. Things like these were only seen in the movies, but not only did they see it, but they felt it equally. Some of them still didn't know what to believe at that moment. Some still thought it was an illusion. Some felt like they had been daydreaming, and none of those was right. "He's not human." One of the girls finally found the boldness to say it. A couple of the girls gazed at her and inspected her face to further analyze the reaction that inspired what the girl had just said. No one gave a comment to what she had said. They looked away as though they didn't want to be part of the conversation. "How did he do that?" Another person asked. "How does he do it?" Someone had another way of putting the question. There
Cory's eyes were super active as he stared at the screen right in front of him. As usual, the bunny had been sent on the secret mission again to gain information for him. He looked intrigued and quite surprised. His eyes trailed from the large screen to the floor as his lips muttered unintelligible words. "They are here for the scroll?" Cory thought out loudly for the first time. His eyes squinted, and he got up on his feet. He sauntered to the refrigerator and brought out a bottle of red wine. He picked a glass and turned a half-filled content of the wine. He took a swig. He shut his eyes, letting the savor invade every corner of his mouth. He shook his head. This was not what he wanted at that moment. He walked away from the refrigerator to the bar that was carved into the corner of the foyer. He grabbed a bottle or vodka and took a fifth of it. His eyes were getting really heavy now, yet he wasn't close to getting intoxicated. There are a lot of perks for living this spiritu
"Immortal Dao?" Cory muttered as his mind became isolated from the things happening around him. Not only had he swam from his pool to find himself in the middle of the ocean, but a couple of dolphins had come to pay homage to him. In fact, he was traveling on one of the dolphins at the moment, an entourage of other dolphins idling around him. He wasn't really sure of what to make of this. At least not yet. What does this mean? Does it mean that he had scaled through the order of events in the spiritual world?For a fact, he didn't even know when he levels up. He didn't know what the requirements for leveling up were. All he knew was that he was constantly being assigned tasks by the system, and he had to complete them to get some gems. Right now, as it stood, it seemed like he had just completed another task that he didn't know he was doing. He had just been referred to as an Immortal Dao by the system. "Does this mean that I am no longer a supreme god?" He asked, trying to get th
"Ah... not this fool." Cory grunted as soon as he saw the yacht. The truth was that the yacht was still several meters away from the beach, let alone from the tent. Cory had not gotten a clear view of the design of the yacht yet, let alone the face of the person on the yacht. But then again, how did he know the person on the yacht? He should be pondering on this, but he chose not to. He wouldn't spend the rest of his time getting shocked every second by new discoveries. The yacht finally stopped at the shore, and a young man climbed down from the yacht. The man started to walk in the direction of the tent. That was the first thing for any sane human being to do. You meet yourself in a place. The first thing to do is approach the only group of people in sight. He kept on walking until he was close enough. When he was close enough, the faces of the girls were clear to him. Just from that spot, he could recognize a couple of them. He wanted to stay on that train of thoughts when al
