2024-10-29 19:42:56Cory 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 that he was holding on to a lie all along.He was trying to stay positive. After all, he had just cut ties with a gold digger.He was walking towards his scooter as those ugly thoughts raced through his mind.Suddenly, his vision started to blur out. He stopped in his tracks and shut his eyes. He shook his head softly to get a grip of himself.Opening his eyes again, he resumed his pace and got to his scooter. Getting to the scooter, he reached to grab the helmet.He felt dizzy and lost touch. He missed and fell down.Earlier, he thought that he was strong enough to get over Sheiley quickly, but he was wrong.He felt pain in his stomach and clutched it. He spat blood out. His head spinning. How much he loved her.He also hadn't eaten before he came here. He has been running errands for customers.The hunger, empty stomach, and pain converged to taunt him so ruthlessly.He passed out.[Ping! System loading.][10%... 12%... 27%... 45%... 63... 81%... 82%... 90%... 99%][Ping! System loaded.][Ping! Host found.][Ping! System acclimating.][Ping! System analyzing the host.][Analysis completed.][Host suitable.][Press YES to accept the system][System reception finalized][Pre-acquisition reward: $170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000]Cory eyes slowly opened. His cheek was feeling cold. It was pressed against the cold floor.He helped himself up and sat up. He looked around. His body felt light but agile. It was as though he had been charged up.The pain in his stomach had vanished. His head was light, too. The heavy emotions weighing on his mind had been eased."What just happened?" He muttered, looking around. Perhaps he would see something."Was that a dream or what?" He quizzed."How can it be a dream? I didn't even lie down up to five minutes." He argued.He realised that he was on the floor. He couldn't remain there arguing with himself. He got up."This hunger is making me see things. I should eat something." He dimissed, getting on his scooter.He drove out of the alleyway.As he drove off, he concentrated on the road. He had a place in mind. He would stop there first before he would return to his dorm.He tried not to think about what had happened earlier with Sheiley. The thought still hurts.He drove into a street by his left and kept going.Suddenly, a virtual interface appeared in front of him. The manner at which it popped up, Cory almost lost his grip on the scooter."What the hell is this?" He brought the scooter to a halt.There was a heading boldly written in the virtual interface.[Modern Gem Collector][Gem collected 0/100][Instructions: Fulfill tasks to collect gems.][Hint: Each Gem contains a trait that nourishes the host. The more Gem collected, the more skills the host acquires.]Cory read the words written in the virtual interface, yet he couldn't understand a word.Then slowly, his mind digressed to what happened when he passed out. Something had appeared in his mind."Was it real? It wasn't a dream?" Cory gasped, not sure how to react to this.Suddenly, the virtual interface melted into the air."Where did it go?" Cory was confused.He was still wondering about this when a loud cry distracted him."What was that?" He muttered, looking around.It sounded like someone crying for help.It was a feminine cry, so he couldn't ignore it. He swerved the scooter in the direction of the voice. It was a tiny hideout between two tall buildings. Something that looked almost like an alleyway.Without having a second thought, Cory drove into the hideout.There were four men struggling with a young lady. When the men heard the revving sound of the scooter, they were distracted.Cory parked the scooter by the wall and climbed down. He stepped into the open as all eyes fell on him.Immediately he stepped into the open, the system interface popped up.[Ping! Save the lady. Earn a Gem.]"Huh?" Cory was stunned by that.What does this even mean? Save which lady? He doesn't even know her. And how was he supposed to save her? These four men looked like proper thugs!!!"Hey, kiddo, did you miss your way?" A man with big mustache called scornfully."There is no way here. Turn around and scram when you can still walk!" Another man threatened.As these men threatened him, they were walking towards him.Cory looked past the two men to the other two who were holding the lady. The lady looked very fragile and beautiful. They were manhandling her.As the first two men advanced towards Cory, Cory didn't move. He didn't know why. He should be scared, but he wasn't. He couldn't explain where this gut came from."Why are you standing like a statue?" The mustache man raised his hand as he got to Cory."Should I slap you into the future before you come to your senses?!" The man was still speaking when he brought his hand down towards Cory's face.Whoosh! Miss! Strike! Punch! Kick! Swerve!It all happened in the blink of an eye, and the two burly men were now lying on the floor face down. Their faces were swollen, and blood from their body smeared half of their clothes.Cory gasped at the sight. What had just happened? Did he do this to these two men? How? When? It felt like something snatched his body and carried the action out."Run!!!" A man screamed.Cory was startled by the scream. The other two men who were holding the lady had left her, running away."Our boss will come for you!!!" Cory heard the men call as they scrambled off.Suddenly, the lady burst out crying. Cory was caught off guard. He slowly walked to her."You are safe now." He assured her, gently touching her shoulder."You are an angel. You are my savior." The lady hugged him, crying.Cory was not comfortable with the hug, but she was a lady in distress.Suddenly the phone of the lady started to ring. She pulled away and answered."Daddy!!!" Sha cried into the speaker. "They hurt me." She got louder.While the lady was crying and talking over the phone, the screeching sound of a car was heard in a distance."That's Daniel." The lady said, hanging the call.She started to run off. Cory stood for a while. Then he decided to follow.

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

Following the fatal fate of the former driver of Anna, a new man had been assigned to drive her. She was not alone in the backseat of the car. Next to her was Cory. Cory couldn't have said no to her after she gave him such a face. He didn't want to look or sound mean. While the car rode through the road, Cory was looking in the other direction. Although he could not see anything through the window since the car was tinted, yet he pretended like he was. He could feel the heat from Anna's eyes heating up the side of his face. She was constantly looking at him. Anna wanted to start a conversation, but she was a little bit reluctant. There were a couple of things she could talk about following everything that had happened, but she didn't want to offend Cory. She was indebted to him for saving her life. "Where are you headed?" Anna finally found something. Cory slowly turned to look at her. "Oh, right. I'm headed to Shelton University." Cory replied. He was about to look away from
The Impervious Courier Chapter 11.
Cory was speechless when Anna did this. He understood that he had been kind to her and had saved her life, but what was this about? Although he respects her father and would never want to have any problem with the Great Theo, yet he wouldn't allow someone to take advantage of him. Looking at her face, he saw her looking very cute, her eyes were like puppy's eyes. That was the same face she had made when she had asked to drive him to school. There was something very tempting about that face of hers that he couldn't ignore. Realising that it was no use trying to get her off himself, he looked back at Sheiley and Harry. Harry looked quite shocked when he saw this beautiful and overly gorgeous lady. Although Sheiley was pretty and was an embodiment of beauty, her charm was nothing compared to Anna's. Comparing Sheiley to Anna was just like comparing the wings of a hen to that of a bald eagle. Miles apart. Harry was swept off his feet by the beauty that was standing in front of him.

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.

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.
