"Oi! Oi! Oi! Can you slow the fuck down?!" "Why? Can't keep up?" "I'm injured. You know that very well, you petty bastard!" "Oh? I do?" Some meters away from a taxi rank was a scene that could be described as comical to the twisted and pitiful to the faint-hearted. Two men of unique and outstanding qualities had a conversation that should not be weird or funny in normal circumstances. But when one looked at the conditions of both men, he or she would realize why the conversation was either…-

Time went by, and unlike the last time, when it took ten hours before Calista returned, it only took Calista thirty minutes this time around to return. She informed both Divine and Corey that the loophole was fixed and that Divine was free to go. She did not satiate their curiosity about whether the Lord of the Central Area planned on taking advantage of the loophole in the rule he proposed. But, if one could delve deeper into her eyes, one would notice a calculating glint hidden deep in her eyes.…

345 344: Loophole Divine and Corey did not show any signs of surprise, disbelief, or relief when they heard the words spoken by Calista. Divine knew that the chances of his proposal being accepted were disgustingly high. From his calculations, he knew that he had a 98% chance of his proposal getting accepted. Although some high-ranking Underworld Officials 'liked' him, he was not really liked by the majority of the high-ranking Underworld Officials. He knew that most would accept his…

344 343: Deal After Divine's bold declaration to fight a Tier 5, the atmosphere between Corey, Calista, and Divine was charged with a mix of tension, disbelief, and anticipation. Corey's brows furrowed in concern, his expression reflecting his worry for Divine's safety. He couldn't shake off the feeling of apprehension, knowing the immense risks involved in such a challenge. Yet, beneath the worry, there was also a sense of respect for Divine's bravery and determination. Divine himself exuded an…

?"Contact the Emporium manager." When Divine's words flowed into Corey's ears, Corey raised his brows and looked at Divine with a slightly baffled expression. "I can't call anybody in this place." One of the few things he had tried when he entered this weird space was reaching out to his master and Kiefer. However, when he tried to contact them, he realized that communication through the U-Watch was not allowed. "The manager of the Emporium isn't anybody." Divine said, and Corey's brows…

?"I was betrayed." Three words. Just three words were spoken by Divine, and Corey could sense the emotions in Divine's voice and eyes. Coldness. Anger. Disbelief. Disappointment. And, the most hidden one of all… Pain. Although Divine tried his best to hide his pain, Corey could perceive it. Ever since he got the Eyes of Dreams and Nightmares, his keenness to the emotions of anybody beneath tier 4 increased, and due to this, Corey could sense Divine's pain. 'Maybe when I get…

?The door to the elevators opened, and when Corey saw what was before him, he raised his brows. In front of Corey was a white pathway that was 50m long, and at the end of this pathway was a large and thick black metal door with countless locks and chains on it. Corey observed the large door and then looked around for a few seconds. Although it seemed like there was nothing from where he was to the large metallic door, Corey could perceive magical fluctuations all around him. He guessed that the…

?"Enter the elevator, and it'll take you to Divine." As the door to the elevator opened, Corey glanced at it before shifting his gaze back to the Vice-Lord. "Anything I should know before meeting Divine?" Corey asked, and the Vice-Lord shrugged. "Nothing really. The cells of every prisoner here are kept in a different space, so you wouldn't be able to meet any other prisoner aside from Divine." The Vice-Lord paused, and then he glanced at Corey's U-Watch. "That is, as long as your permit is…

?Seconds went by as Corey went up the stairs along with the tier 6. At first, he was tense since he had no idea what the tier 6 wanted. But later, he calmed down and thought about the behavior and the way the tier 6 interacted with him from the moment he appeared. The behavior of the tier 6 had been strange ever since he appeared. He did not force Corey to expose his status window, nor did he try to capture Corey for himself. The tier 6's behavior insinuated that he meant Corey no harm despite their…

?In the heart of the central hub, an electric tension crackled through the air, leaving a palpable sense of unease in its wake. The atmosphere seemed to tighten like a coiled spring as the gaze of the onlookers shifted between Corey, the Ember Elder, and the mysterious tier 6 individual who had just made his presence known. Corey, still recovering from the failed teleportation attempt and the unexpected appearance of the tier 6, wore a frustrated expression that mirrored the confusion and irritation…
