Emerald City, Onyx district.

Anna was seated by herself in the far corner of a restaurant. She was staring at her phone. Her eyes were bulging at the sockets, and she was not willing to look away from the phone.

Although the screen of the phone was now blank and there was nothing else to see, yet she couldn't take her eyes off it.

It would seem as though her eyes were just a channel that was taking her mind through several layers and ceilings of thoughts.

There was shock crawling up her face, from one corner to the other.

She could hear faint whispers from people around her. They were talking about the same thing that she had seen on her phone. But she didn't really care about what they were mumbling about.

She remained in that position for another few moments before a silhouette came out of nowhere and towered over her.

At first, she didn't want to look up to see who it was, but then the presence seemed quite imposing that she had no choice but to look up.

    Anna wasn't really good at hiding her emotions. She wasn't the type to feel one thing and show the other. Especially when it comes to emotions that really cut deep into her feelings. "I mean, we can all remember what happened with me and him." Sheiley continued. Anna thought that Sheiley was done with the torment, but it seemed as though Sheiley had more coming. It would seem like Sheiley had been waiting for this moment all her life. One would think that Sheiley had come to this restaurant in search of Anna just to make a big ridicule of her. Anna definitely was not prepared for this. She was still caught up thinking about what she saw on her phone. She was not prepared for that too either. There were a lot of things she didn't prepare for that were happening to her today. It was only right for her to come to the conclusion that she would have to deal with whatever comes her way whether or not she was prepared for it. She sighed. "I can't imagine how he would agree with breaki

    Anna wanted to concentrate, but she couldn't do so. She had her mind flying everywhere. She just couldn't put a leash on it. Although she had been able to get Sheiley and Harry off her back, yet it felt like they were still right there with her. She knew that she had eventually put the couple in their place, yet she couldn't help but feel that they were still on to her. Sheiley's words were still fresh in her mind. Especially Sheiley's words about what Cory might be doing on the island. She didn't know whether or not to be sad or mad. Well, she knew that being mad was not even her right. She was the one who asked to break up with him. He never proposed such a decision. So she didn't have the right to be mad at him whether or not he chooses to date someone else. Her mind quickly zoomed back to the person who was close to Cory. She recalled Stephen. She had told him to relay her message to Cory. Didn't he relay the message to him? Why didn't Cory call her back? She knew that Cory m

    Anna's brain froze for a second. She had been up in her head thinking about the possibilities of things for a moment now. The first thing that came to her mind when she opened her mouth was to try and ease herself of the pent of emotions she was feeling. She had set out trying to vindicate herself and not be run into the corner by an emotional blackmail but all of a sudden, things changed. When the brain regained its pace, all Anna could do was just stare at her father with no words. The man was not looking at her. He was staring at the front. Her gaze had tuned to the extent that, if there was a way, her eyes would have drilled holes in his face. At a point, it would seem as though the side of his face was an outlet where Anna could comfortably plug her eyes. She heard Lord Theo sigh very heavily. Then he turned to the door and pushed it open. He climbed out of the car. Anna's eyes suddenly turned red again. She couldn't even count the number of times she had been forced to get

    Cory didn't stop for once as he walked briskly in that direction. It was hard to tell why he was now walking when he could use time to contract the space and zoom through in order to get to where he was going as quickly as possible. Not long after, he saw a white bunny standing at the front of a pond. He didn't for a moment stop to catch his breath. He neither increased his pace, too. At that same pace and with the same demeanor, he walked in the direction of the bunny and halted behind it. He zoomed at once and grabbed the bunny before it could even think of escaping. As soon as he grabbed the bunny, he reached for its head, curled two of his fingers around its neck, and added some pressure. He snapped the head off at once without even thinking twice. Snapping the head off, blood was splattered in several directions. Some of the slabs of blood fell on his face, plastering in the corner of his face. Some slabs hit the nearest stones. After the did was done, Cory shut his eyes and

    Irmais was taken off guard by what Cory had just said. Irmais took two steps closer. He turned his ear towards Cory. He was a little bit clueless on top of the load of confusions he already had. He didn't know what to decide. He couldn't tell for a fact whether Cory was asking a question or making a conclusion. "Huh?" He further tried to ask the question. He was not ashamed to ask a question when he was concerned. It seemed like he knew whom he was talking to. He wasn't looking at the body of the man in front of him. He was looking at the essence of the man standing in front of him. He was looking through the eyes of Cory and was seeing his master. "My parents are dead." Cory continued. Cory didn't seem to care that Irmais did not have any clue. He didn't care that he wanted to get the answer to the first question. He was not here to please Irmais. He was here to get this over with as soon as possible. Irmais could also read the reactions on his face. He could tell that much th

    "What did you just say?" Irmais really didn't care that he sounded very vulnerable at this point. None of his emotions mattered to him. What Cory had just said held a huge significance to impact everything he had always held on to, everything he has believed. He was on his feet this time, walking even closer and closer to Cory. At this point, it would seem as though he was thinking of walking straight into Cory's body and getting dissolved in the aforementioned. Cory, on the other hand, looked quite unfazed as he stared blankly at the lad in front of him. It was still Irmais, of course, but to Cory Irmais was a lad. "It's been over ten thousand years since you lived in the realm. You've been living in the realm all your life! How come What you have just said?! It does not make any sense to me." Irmais was struggling really hard to get an answer to these questions flying around in his head. He was also trying to do his best to contain the questions, but all he could do was get the

    Irmais collected the gem and tossed it down his throat. He had a hard time swallowing it at the first try, so he pushed it back out and chewed on it for the next few moments until it was safe to swallow. Cory didn't stop or wait for him after he collected the gem. Cory was walking away with an urgency. Irmais quickly picked up the pace and started racing after him. "Master." Irmais called eventually. Cory stopped in his tracks. It would seem as though he had just been shocked to his core by the title with which Irmais had just addressed him. He turned around slowly to look at Irmais. Irmais still looked as confused as ever, but this time, there seemed to be a ray of hope lighting up the corner of his face. Cory didn't want to read any extra meaning to this unless he had gotten the exact information he could work with. "Do you believe now that I am your master?" Cory asked, turning fully to face Irmais. Irmais let out a deep sigh. That was a very good question. He was still hav

    A couple of girls were gathered in one of the rooms in the villa. Amongst the girls were Rachel, Aine, and Lila. They were four in total. They were all staring at the scroll, which was hung up against the nearest. The scroll had been pressed to the wall with some removable cellotape. The girls would not even exchange gazes, let alone break their sight from the scroll on the wall. It would seem as though they were using the scroll as an aid into another realm. Perhaps it was a portal through which they could see something else. The silence continued for another few seconds until, "Turn it around." Aine suddenly said to no one. When she made that comment, some of the girls nodded to what she had said. It seemed like it was something that the majority would agree on. Lila got up on her feet and rolled over the bed to where the scroll was being hung. She removed the cellotape and then turned the scroll to the other side. "Don't hang it this time. Just hold it up. That should be ab

    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.
