“Haha, Anna, you must be pissed seeing how Wyatt forgot the breakfast for two he promised you.” Corey taunted Anna, reminding Anna of the compromise she made with Wyatt at the Horned Hare Heaven Gate dungeon.
“Little girl, aren’t you becoming too comfortable with me? Even your parents bow before reporting to me. Yet you address me with my name as if we are friends.” Anna said, intimidating Corey.
“My parents work for you. I don’t. Show your haughtiness to the people that work for you. Not me.” Corey did not back down after hearing Anna’s words. If words could intimidate her, she wouldn’t have taunted her in the first place.
“Girl, that’s a rather interesting theory you got there. But you forget I own this entire southern region and everything within it.” Anna looked at Corey as if she had found a new play toy.
“You may own the land I am standing on, but you don’t own me. I am my own person. And I don’t bow to anybody.” Corey spoke her modern democratic bullshit.
“Believe it or not, I can make you bow to me willingly?” Anna said with a playful laugh, but a dangerous glint shone in her eyes.
“As long as I am alive, believe it or not, I will use your arrogant tongue to wipe my shoes clean,” Corey spoke with her fist clenched because she knew what Anna was hinting at, her family. After all, even demons have a soft spot for their home.
“Corey, watch your mouth. Apologize to her highness.” Susan, who walked out of the kitchen, yelled, hearing Corey’s words. And turning to Anna, she bowed and apologized, “Your highness, please forgive that ignorant child.”
“Here we go. This is the third time. You vouched for her twice in the Horned Hare Heaven gate dungeon, so I forgave her insolence. Still, she continues to disrespect me. Shall I take this as a challenge to my authority?” Anna’s words turned more severe once Susan intervened. Clearly, she seemed to hold something against Susan.
“No, your highness. Corey is a troubled girl. She didn’t mean what she said.” Susan started making excuses for Corey. The relationship between her and Corey has deepened since the incident at the Horned Hare Heaven gate dungeon.
“Big sis, don’t worry about her. She is just toying with you. If she were outraged, she would not have kept us alive. Sadistic bitch.” Corey didn’t back down. She went another step further and cussed Anna. Hearing Corey swear at her highness southern emperor, Susan felt her knees go weak.
“Hahaha, aren’t you a wild child? Corey, honey, you know that I settle my scores with interest, right.” Anna’s eyes squinted, and a threatening aura emitted from her body. But still, she did not attack Corey. As for Susan, she regretted the day she hired Corey to work for her. She would have yelled it out loud, but the chill she felt from Anna left her speechless.
“…” Corey did not stubbornly rebut to Anna this time as her head was occupied with the words Corey Paek was instructing her mentally.
“Little girl, you dare to get distracted and ignore me!” Anna thundered, but it did not seem to faze Corey. As for Susan, on the other hand, her mind was already overloaded and unable to process any new information. She wanted to slap herself for recruiting Corey.
“Whatever. I have someplace to be.” Saying that, Corey headed out of the warehouse and, witnessing the crowd of high schoolers loitering, she yelled,” You guys are still here? How many times do I have to tell you, people, to buzz off? I will deal with you guys once I return.”
…
After Corey’s figure leaves their sight for a good minute, one of the High schoolers said grimacingly, “Boys, that girl is getting cocky. If not for her being the boss’s employee, I would have taught her a lesson.”
“How can the boss let a girl with a bad mouth become his employee. If he had asked me, I would have worked for free.” A girl in the crowd of high schoolers commented. Not knowing that Corey was working for free.
“Though she has a foul mouth, her figure is a perfect ten. I understand why the boss chose her as his assistant.” The high schooler from earlier commented.
“Whatever, are you guys sure that, by usual place, the boss meant the warehouse? If not, we will be in great trouble.” One of the delinquents asked, hearing him rest quietened.
…
“Park, are you sure you felt the dark realms from that part of the city?” Corey asked as she rushed towards the direction Corey park pointed her at.
“Yes, I still feel it. The feeling is getting stronger and stronger.” Corey Park replied affirmatively. Just in the middle of Corey Bright’s argument with Anna, She felt the presence of the Dark realm. She can never be wrong about this because she had spent almost a century in the dark realms.
“If it’s dark realms, as you say, are you sure we should be heading in that direction? Won’t your old boss recognize our titled demon core? And know that you are alive?” Corey had been through Park’s memories and knew how dangerous the dark realm was. Not to mention that Park’s old boss ruled the dark realm. Considering how they parted from each other, he should be bearing a grudge against her. So instead of heading towards the dark domain, they should be running away from it.
“He may be a ruler back in the dark realms, but here on this world be reduced to a mere mortal. So we have nothing to worry about. Just reach there as soon as possible. I want to know what’s going on. And how can the dark realms be connected to this world? This world is getting weirder and weirder the more I explore it.”
