She freaked out at the sound of the voice and almost rolled over her face to the front. She couldn't have imagined that there was someone else with her in the room. She was sitting by the nearest wall. The two windows of the room were up ahead of her. She could see them far away from where she was seated. The door itself was several steps away from where she was seated. Naturally, she could have thought that someone might have jumped in through the windows, but those were the windows in front of her. In fact, the swan chair was the nearest to the extreme area of that corner of the room. But right now, not only could Lila hear a sudden voice behind her. But there was also a very imposing and ominous presence towering over her from behind. She didn't even know when she fell on her face and tried to roll over. She clutched the scroll to her face as she slowly paved the way in order to give room to her eyes to make the mental judgment. When she eventually looked, she saw a man dres
When Lila saw Cory, she didn't know how she hit the speed, but before she could even think of stopping herself, she was already standing behind Cory. She was hiding behind now. She had run to Cory to seek security. Cory and the monk were quite intrigued by the sudden reaction of Lila. It was something that came out of nowhere. Cory took a glance at her to be certain that she knew what she was doing. She stared at him for a while, then looked past him to the monk who was now smiling. She panicked. Her panic turned Cory's attention to the monk. "Finally, we meet again." The monk started, taking another two steps forward. When the man made the move to the front, Lila tried to hide even safer behind Cory. If she could have her way, she would probably dissolve into his back and disappear. She should be worried that Cory suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but she wasn't. A lot had happened ever since the monk entered into the room. She hadn't been able to keep track of other events. P
She couldn't even begin to process what she had just seen. She didn't know what to make of it and how to make any sense of it. It seemed like it was a form or sort of magic. It didn't sit well with her mind. She could swear with everything she held dear that she saw Cory charge at the monk. In fact! It wasn't a charge! It was more like what the wind could do. He had skipped like the wind and had gotten to the monk before the monk could even lift a hand. If that was right. If what she had seen was true, then what the hell was this in the air?Her eyes still lingered on the pieces of olden skin-like paper flying in the air and landing on several parts of the room. She knew what this meant. It means that the monk had just torn the scroll. But how? How the hell did that even happen?Lila was very confused and lost. She had done a lot of crash projects and even important assignments in college, but she had never accosted something so mind-boggling and ridiculously out of tune like somet
"He can't make us leave. We don't want to leave." One the girls argued fervently. "What did he say precisely to you?""Why was it that you were the only one he said something to? Are you really sure that he said something to you, or are you just making it up?" Linda decided to twist the narrative. Lila had no choice but to glare at Linda. She didn't have the strength to keep foul emotions like this after what she had recently gone through. At first, she had thought that when she came back to the girls, she would be able to tell them everything that she saw and heard. Right now, she was having a second thought. How could she follow through with what she had in mind when one of the girls was already taking her for a fool?She wanted to slap Linda across the face. At least a couple of times, but she couldn't really come to the conclusion as soon as possible. "Why did he want us to leave, though? Does he even know why we are here? I'm sure if he does, he wouldn't think of sending us
When Cory called at them, they all listened at once. They all forgot what they were going through or what they were trying to do. None of it mattered anymore as soon as his voice knocked them out of the thoughts. There was a small bottle in his hand. He handed the bottle over to Lila. When he did this, of course, the majority of the girls were not happy with it. This really goes to prove what they had been thinking about. Doesn't it mean that he really liked her? If not, why would he give her something? Possibly a gift when the rest of the girls were they? Why couldn't he give any of the girls other than her?Those questions were running tracks around the minds of the girls, but none of them was willing to make it audible. It was hard to tell why they were quiet. It must be out of respect for Cory or the fear of what Lila might be capable of doing again. "You know what this is. Give it to your father. When you give it to him, say it's from the Immortal Doa. He would know what to do
The cruise ship was as silent as a grave yard. There was no note of whispers, let alone a clamor of debate. It would seem as though there was no living soul in the ship. The girls would only exchange glances at each other without necessarily making words out of their prolonged gazes. This continued for a long time until the girls finally arrived at the dock. It was the most popular dock in the whole of Emerald City. The cruise ship came to a stop at the dock, and the prime minister walked unto the room where the girls were gathered. "We are now home. Let everyone return to their respective homes. Those who have been given a specific assignment by my master should follow the instructions to the very last letter." The prime minister explained so clearly and in the most plain manner. The girls didn't say a word yet. Just like they would always do, they looked from one person to the other. It seemed like each of them could not make a decision for themselves, or else the other person
Cab 1."Who the hell does she think she is? Why would she take the cure with her? Does she want to die or what?""She has always been like that. She always pretends to be the best one. As though she's the only one who has the answer to everything. That fucking bitch from a broken family." The girl sneered. Cab 2."I can never understand why that guy gave the cure to her. Is she really better than us? Now that I think about it, even the professor handed the project file to her before we set out on the journey to the island.""I'm really sick and tired of all of these BS. I want to get to her and snatch that mother-fucking thing from her. She must be insane to think that she would really get away with the cure. I don't care what that handsome guy thinks! We must have our way, and that's the only fucking answer."The cab driver looked through the mirror at the girls at the back. His face held a certain note of curiosity. It was obvious in his eyes that he was about to say something. "W
"What happened, Lucy?""What was the matter?""Why did you scream so loudly?"The two girls who ran in just now took turns asking the question. They didn't know what to make of the situation. They were out there petting Lila and trying to get her to talk, but she had been quiet. Then, all of a sudden, a scream had come from nowhere, and now they were standing in the room from where the scream had come. Rachel was still staring at the corner of Lucy's face, trying to get words out of the latter's mouth. but the girl who had run in with Rachel had looked at her front and had seen the gory scene. As soon as she saw the scene,"Ra---chel..." The girl stuttered, unable to hold her gaze up anymore. The girl seemed a little bit tougher than Lucy because when she saw the scene, she didn't scream or anything as such. Instead, her legs were shaking heavily, and she couldn't really hold herself up such that she needed an aid from Rachel in order not to crumble under the pressure. "Ahhhhh!!!!
