BXBX NOVEL Chapter 342 341: Traitor
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.
"There might not just be one traitor. There might be two… or more."
Corey spoke with an emotionless tone, and Divine looked down.
A tense silence filled the air, and despite the aura released by Divine due to the emotions he was going through, Corey still maintained an indifferent expression.
Five seconds passed, and Divine still did not say anything. Corey was beginning to feel annoyed and frustrated, so he spoke:
"Can you not wallow in your despair, sadness, anger, or whatever bullshit you\'re feeling right now. I can\'t stay here forever you know."
Corey ruthlessly said without caring about Divine\'s feelings, and Divine looked at him.
A smile appeared on Divine\'s face, and then he chuckled softly.
"You\'re as ruthless as I expected you to be. Maybe even more ruthless."
Divine said, and Corey scratched the side of his head with an annoyed expression.
"What is your plan now?"
Corey dismissed Divine\'s previous words and asked while tapping his pronounced biceps.
Divine chuckled once again, then he released a soft sigh and looked up. His eyes flashed with a calculating glint, and a few seconds later, his gaze shifted towards Corey.
"I forgot to ask. How did you get a permit to visit me?"
Divine asked with a curious light in his eyes, and Corey raised his brows.
"The manager of the Emporium gave it to me."
Divine\'s eyes widened slightly when he heard Corey\'s words, and with a shocked tone, he asked:
"That crazy woman gave you a permit?"
Corey nodded, and a baffled expression appeared on Divine\'s face.
"When did you become buddy-buddy with her?"
Divine asked, then a second later, his eyes widened, and he gazed at Corey from his head to his toes with a light of realization.
"Don\'t tell me she took an interest in your body, and you guys are now fucking?!"
Divine questioned with a shocked tone, and Corey\'s face changed. A vein popped in his forehead, and the urge to punch Divine black and blue filled his entire being.
"Shut the fuck up you stupid fool!"
Corey shouted, enraged and annoyed, and Divine looked taken aback.
"Alright, alright, man. Take a chill pill."
Divine instinctively tried to raise his hands, but the clanging of his chains made him stop.
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."
