Chapter 342 341: Traitor
?"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 stronger, I'll be able to perceive the thoughts of more powerful beings.'
Corey thought while folding his arms, and Divine's voice flowed into his ears.
"You don't seem so surprised."
Divine asked, disrupting Corey from his thoughts.
Corey looked at Divine for a few seconds, then sighed softly.
"I already guessed as much."
Corey said, and Divine raised his brows.
Without waiting for Divine to speak, he continued:
"When I entered the central hub of the Central Area, I encountered an elder of the House of Hellfire. He knew I wanted to meet up with you, and it looked like he was waiting for me specifically."
"The only people that knew I would meet you were Fatty Black Bonez, Melissa, Rosa, Dave, Triple X, my master, my gardener, and my slave."
"I know my master, gardener, and slave are not traitors since they had never met a member of the House of Hellfire before me."
"That means the person who told the House of Hellfire about my plan to meet you has to be either Fatty Black Bonez, Rosa, Melissa, Dave, or Triple X."
Corey took a slightly long pause, then looked straight into Divine's eyes and spoke out a thought that came to his mind.
He released a soft sigh, and then he looked at Corey with a strange expression.
"You know you didn't have to react that much, right? If you weren't fucking the manager, then you should have just said so."
Divine paused, and Corey's lips twitched.
The strange expression on Divine's face did not dissipate even as time passed. It only became stranger, and his following words depicted why:
"Could it be that you're still a virgin kid?"
Divine asked strangely, and Corey's lips twitched repeatedly.
The urge to strangle Divine was extremely strong, and if not for the barrier separating him from Divine, he would have let loose that urge.
"Ah. So you're still a virgin!"
Divine's expression was one of complete shock and bafflement, and Corey closed his eyes with an annoyed expression.
"How are you still a virgin? Don't you want to become a man? With a physique and face like that, you can bag any girl there is."
"You also have the money to pay for a beautiful, sexy, and powerful babe. You have the face, physique, money, and power. Why the fuck are you still a virgin?!"
"You can even fuck Rosa if you want! She'd definitely allow you!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"
Just as Divine was about to continue speaking, Corey shouted at the top of his lungs, and the air, mana, and surroundings shook slightly.
"I'm on a time limit you dimwit! I can't stay here forever!"
"So fucking tell me what your plan is you bloody fool!!" Corey shouted with an annoyed and angered tone and expression.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Divine's eyes for a second when he felt how powerful Corey's shout was.
"Don't be so angry, kid. I was just so happy to see a friend after so long."
Divine replied with a chuckle as he looked at the frustrated and annoyed expression of Corey.
Divine chuckled once again, and then his expression slowly changed. He sat up straight, and with a solemn expression, he looked into Corey's eyes.
"After I leave, you can fill me in on the details as to why you're so close with the Emporium manager."
Divine said, then his eyes moved to Corey's U-Watch, and Corey noticed.
He looked at his U-Watch with a confused expression, and before he could speak, Divine spoke:
"Contact the Emporium manager."
