The dining space went dead silent for a while until the monks arrived at the scene. Cory didn't know when he looked away from the scene to Anna, who was just lifting her body from his neck.

Anna took a gaze at him and then looked away almost in a blush. But that wasn't even the right time for such feelings. There was something more urgent right in front of them.

Lord Theo was still on his feet. He turned to look at the five monks. The five monks pushed their bodies forward a little bit in gentle bows to Lord Theo.

Cory allowed his mind to indulge the situation. After all, there was nothing much he could do.

The monks lifted their bodies and were standing upright again. Then, all of a sudden, one of them sniffed the air,

"It smells blood here." One of the monks said.

Another monk took those words quite seriously and looked around. He noticed a patch of blood first before seeing the young man on the floor.

The monks quickly covered their nose, up to their faces with the corner of

    Even Lord Theo could not act any differently. He was stunned as every other person in the dining hall. Although, as a Mafia Lord, he wouldn't have a problem killing a person. In fact, he had lost count of so many people he had killed. Especially people he had killed off of gang wars and several other victims who crossed his path. What had his jaws hanging loosely in the air was the fact that it was a monk! A monk who is considered to be pious and collected! This same set of people are considered as the non-violent sect. One of them had just killed a person. On top of this bewildering fact, the monk hadn't used the common technique to kill the lad. Instead, he had done something that was rather farfetched and mostly unexpected. The monks turned to face Lord Theo and bowed to him again. "We will atone for his sins by recommending something else. We are totally sorry for all the trouble he must have caused you." One of the monks added as though nothing had just happened. The corpse

    The monks suddenly took interest in Cory. None of the monks said a word yet. They just kept a long stare at him, inspecting him really closely. Cory could tell that much, but really, he was not impressed. "Boss, I'm sorry for this inconvenience." Lord Theo addressed Cory directly. The reactions of the monks tuned when they heard how Lord Theo referred to Cory as boss! All they could see was a young man who looked to still be a college student. Also, they knew Lord Theo too well. Lord Theo was so important that if he sends words to them, they would come driving down at once!If the most revered Lord Theo was referring to this strange lad as boss, then who the hell is this lad?! The monks could ask the question, but they didn't. At least not yet. "I understand that I am the one who asked you to come here, but I think it's only right if I go with the monks. After all, they have just killed the bastard who almost sent me to an early grave. Who knows, they might be able to find an antid

    Cory stood there, the whip still in his grip. There was blood in his hand. The blades of the whip had cut his palm almost into shreds, yet he didn't let go of it. Anna had scurried to him, holding on to him and calling at him, tears in her eyes. She was scared that he was hurt badly because she also saw what had almost happened to him. Cory remained in that position, staring at the monks. He had a couple of things racing across his mind. The monks deliberately wanted to kill him because he knew something about them. The monks knew that he was perceptive and was finding their actions shady. The monks knew that much. This was why they had tried to frame him by claiming that the evil spirit from the dead lad had possessed Cory. If Cory's instinct and reflex had not been sharpened by the system, he probably would be lying dead at the moment. At this point, Cory finally came to the conclusion that he was right after all. The thoughts and feelings he was having about the monks were act

    Everyone was speechless by what Cory had just said. Anna suddenly let go of him, her body quaking. She couldn't believe what Cory had just said. Lord Theo's face was a mess of fear and confusion. For the very first time since Cory had known the man, he saw fear idling in the corner of the man's face. It wasn't as though Cory was enjoying the view, but he couldn't tell a lie that he wasn't intrigued by it. The monks suddenly turned around and started to leave one after the other. Cory caught a note of this and moved forward to stop them. Cory understood what the monks were trying to do. The monks were trying to use what Cory had said as a sort of distraction so that they would escape. Then Cory changed his mind. He was the one who had just announced that if nothing was done to help Lord Theo, the man would die in ten minutes. So it would be dumb of him to waste more time on these coward monks!He just watched the monks go as the door opened and closed behind them. "Is this true?

    There was silence in the room for a couple of seconds. Silence from everyone. Anna was still on the floor being held by the maids. She slowly got up on her feet. Even though she was on the floor earlier, she had seen her father's body heave towards the ceiling, then blood flying out of his mouth. She had seen all these and was waiting for what next would happen when the silence hit all of them. Even Cory himself was silent. His hands were still on the chest of the man. His gaze was lingering on the cold face of the man. Anna was bidding her time. She was waiting for him to say something. She was waiting for the right moment to speak. She didn't want to be thrown at the wall again. She still feels pain after the first throw. She watched closely as Cory slowly removed his palms from the chest of the man. Cory opened his eyes, too. At this moment, Anna realised that something was not right. She had known Cory for quite a while now and could tell when he was confident and when he wa

    Cory was perceptive, but he didn't want to build on wishful thinking. He walked out of the room, and the maid followed him from behind. When he got back to the bedroom, he saw Anna standing next to Lord Theo, who was now sitting up in bed. "Where did you run to just now, baby?" Lord Theo asked Anna as soon as Cory walked in. Cory stopped by the bed. Anna took a quick gaze at Cory, perhaps to tell whether or not Cory heard what her father had just said. "Uh... It's nothing... I - I went to the restroom." Anna stuttered first before getting a grip. Cory took a gaze at her. He made sure to let her know that he was staring at her. He wanted her to know that he knew something she was hiding. When she realised that his gaze held some weird note to it, she dropped her gaze. Cory smiled softly. He turned to the man. "What is my condition, doctor?" Lord Theo asked. Those would be the first few words of Lord Theo ever since the drama of the monks. Cory seemed a little bit tipped off by

    Anna's brows furrowed, following what Cory had just said. Just a second ago, she was having a lot of raunchy ideas in her head. Although she already discovered that she was just being hopeful, did he really have to be so cruel with words? She gritted her teeth as she glared at him. She saw a subtle smile idling in the corner of his face. At that moment, she could tell that he was definitely enjoying himself. She didn't want to give him that satisfaction.If she sees the rage in her face, then he will continue to act that way to feed his ego. "Why would you not to say that? Who doesn't know that you are impotent?" Anna snapped. Cory's eyes changed when she said this. He obviously was not expecting such a comeback from her. He couldn't even guess what she was going to say in the first place. "Don't look so surprised." Anna continued, enjoying the flip of the script. She was the one with the upper hand now, and she was willing to salvage it. "I mean, even the top billionaires in th

    Anna, who was about to exit through the door, couldn't move an inch anymore. It would seem as though her father had thrown the words directly at her instead of at Cory. Although the consequence of Lord Theo's words would have more effect on her, yet her reaction looked rather explosive compared to Cory's. Cory's gaze was glued to the man's face as he demanded more words. Since when has Lord Theo been thinking about this? Has he been thinking about it for a while? Or did it just occur to him out of the blue?Cory didn't know which of those thoughts to bank on. "I understand that this might come off as strange to you, but please consider it before you give a response." Lord Theo continued. Anna had been standing at the door for a while, waiting for what her father would say next. Perhaps she had thought that her ears were playing tricks on her, so she didn't want to take those words seriously in the first place. But following what her father had just added, she realised that there wa

    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.
