Stephen remained glued to where he was as he watched the girls climb into the ship one after the other. The truth was that, at first, he had thought that the girls would put up a fight and want to stay back on the island. He had thought that that would become such a trouble for him. He had seen how they were hungrily staring at Cory's big D.A part of him was super glad that he was just having ideas in his head, and none of those was true. He smiled, taking a deep breath. He remained there, making sure that he saw all of the girls climb into the ship. When they had all entered into the ship, the man in charge of the ship climbed out. He started to race towards the Prime Minister. The man dropped on his knees all of a sudden. The man was none other than Orca Gerald. He was one of the top figures in Emerald City. He was one of those influential figures that Havill was doing all his best to kiss up to in order to be able to turn on his wife and her family. But right now, this same p
Stephen was standing in front of the large gate of the villa. The villa was surrounded by huge trees and deep undergrowth. He was conscious of his environment as he stood, waiting for a response from the person inside the villa. Although it had just been proven to him that the cannibals would not hurt him in any way; they were all still bowing on the mountain and didn't even stir themselves up when they heard intruders coming. Yet he had to keep his guard up. He knew that there would be more than cannibals to worry about in a jungle like this. "Please let me in, boss. I know that I shouldn't have come here. You told me not to. You warned me not to. I didn't have a choice. At least let me in first, then after that, you can punish me for going against your order!" Stepehen pleaded, looking around him again. "Boss, please. Staying outside here is creeping me out." Stephen was getting chills all over his body this time. All of a sudden, he heard rustling sound behind him. Without hav
Cory stood behind the oak tree, staring from distance. Although he was standing a couple of meters away from the girls, he could still see them as though he was standing right beside them. It would seem as though his eyes had been installed with the zoom quality of a Samsung phone's camera. Not only could he see them clearly. He could also hear everything they were saying. Word for word. No matter how little the voice of the person speaking was, he could hear the voice as clear as the rain. He wasn't surprised. Of course, it was one of the many perks of leveling up. That moment when his body split into two, he had been able to understand what the hell was happening to him. He had discovered that he was no longer a supreme god. He was now an immortal Dao. Being an immortal Dao could easily make him split himself into two, and each of his bodies would be functioning independently and perfectly. He still didn't know how to explain this madness, but he hoped that he could get a hang o
The girls were left speechless at the sight of the scroll. A couple of them could tell at once that that was the scroll they had come to look for, yet they were not entirely certain. They could be wrong or right since they haven't seen it before. They didn't want to be too forward, so they remained glued to that spot for a while. Some of them had pointed their fingers at the scroll, which was still hanging in the air right at the level of Cory's face. "Isn't that the ---" One of the girls was trying to make the words, but she indeliberately trailed off. "From where did you get it?" "How did you know that we were looking for it?"A couple of the girls had a lot of questions to ask yet were not able to address the most important question directly. "Perhaps you don't understand my question." Cory bounced back, bringing the scroll down a little but to the level of his neck. "Allow me to ask again, then." He took two steps forward. "Is this what you are looking for?" He repeated.One
The girls suddenly started to exchange gazes as though an explosive had just been dropped on them. What Cory had just said was way too random and unexpected that they really didn't know what to make of it yet. They were as clueless as they were when they just landed on the island after the splitting of the jet. "Pardon?" One of the girls asked, trying to decide whether or not she heard him perfectly. In her tone, it was quite obvious that there was a trait of ecstasy and desire lying around. It was quite a shock on the part of the girls. Cory looked from one of the girls to the other. He could see that some of them wanted this, too. Although there was a shell of shock hiding their true needs and desires, he couldn't be fooled so easily. "Do not pretend as though you didn't hear what I said. What would it be then?" He asked again, keeping a serious face. At this moment, the girls realise that Cory is not playing around. Although they had heard him at first, a large majority of the
The man stood there groundless as he watched until he couldn't see Cory anymore. He was in so much doubt that his head suddenly became blank. He quickly turned to face the girls. "Who was that man?" He asked. The girls, who were plying their own misfortune, didn't offer any help to his curiosity. The memory of what Cory had just done was still very fresh in their heads. How could they let something else distract them.There was no one in the whole world had they seen who could perform all the acts that Cory had perpetrated earlier. It seemed like it was a mirage. In fact, if they didn't witness it but were told, they might have laughed at the person. The man suddenly snapped out of his worries. He knew that the Prime Minister was still somewhere on the island. He couldn't possibly stay here for long. What it the prime minister mistaking walked into him? What would he say he was doing here?"We should leave at once." He warned the girls strictly. The girls exchanged gazes amongst t
"The divine doctor... the great one?" Cory knew that it would be wrong of him to interrupt the cannibal amidst the conversation, but he couldn't help but let the words sit around for a while. He threw the details around in his head for another few seconds to figure out whether they would settle in or not. "The great one who was well learned and knowledgeable. He was the one who taught us to carve wonders in the rock and make the stairs that lead in and out of the cave. He taught us how to create disguises and foster chaos that holds no threat..."Cory couldn't help but be really intrigued by the manner at which this cannibal was choosing his word. The cannibal sounded very intelligent and sound. Even the girls whom he had recently had a conversation with couldn't choose their words so carefully. It was just one or two of the girls that seemed smart. To think that the cannibals that the people thought to be uncouth and uncivilized are the one crafting words in such dynamic ways. It w
Cory couldn't help but step out of the way for the cannibal who was walking as though he would walk through him. "Come with me, Great One." The cannibal said. Cory didn't know whether to be intrigued by what the cannibal had just called him or to be worried about what the cannibal might have to tell and show him. He could remember vividly that the last word that the cannibal had said was "Ruthlessly."He wanted to stay as positive as much as he could. He didn't want to have funny thoughts or let these things get into his head, but there was no running away from the fact. As soon as the cannibal led the way, Cory followed. Then, the rest of the cannibals followed Cory from behind. The cannibals walked straight to a path that looked like a quagmire. Cory had browsed this jungle for a couple of times now. Although he had not explored all the ends of the jungle, he could still tell by the places and corners he had been to in the jungle that the jungle was a very dry land!Seeing a qu
