Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 311 310: Anon or Smile Reaper

'WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING HERE?!'

An internal roar of frustration, anger and slight fear reverberated in Corey's mind as he looked at the person he least expected to see and most definitely did not want to see.

The manager of the Underworld Emporium, Calista!

Never did he think that Calista, the manager of the Underworld Emporium and a renowned tier 6 would actually take out of her precious time by appearing in the headquarters of the Terror Queen.

And from her words, she wanted to meet him and was most likely waiting for him to appear here for quite some time.

He was not surprised that Calista was able to track his movements because ever since he heard from Oscar that the Terror Queen's actual superior could be Calista, Corey knew he would most likely be monitored at all times from now on.

lightsnοvεl Completely hiding one's movement and location in the Underworld was an extremely difficult feat and is even believed to be an impossible feat.

The number of hidden cameras, tracking devices, hidden magical surveillance formations, and so on was so much to the point that whenever one thinks deeply about it, one would realize that the residents of the Underworld were like animals in a zoo.

One's mind could spiral into madness because of it.

Despite the difficulty in completely hiding one's whereabouts, Corey had no desire to do such at the moment.

In fact, he had already factored in the fact that Calista would know of his whereabouts.

But, what he never expected was for Calista to personally appear in the Terror Queen's office with a terrifying smile aimed at him.

Corey guessed that there was a 90% chance of him encountering a tier 4 when he met the Terror Queen, and because of that, Corey did not want to take any chances in case a fight broke out.

Corey did not want to underestimate anybody that was at a higher tier than him after his fight with the leader of the Dread Vipers.

Whether his stats were higher, or he had better and more powerful skills. Corey did not want to underestimate people who had a higher tier than him.

Especially in his case where his opponent was most likely going to be a tier 4.

Corey might survive and even win the fight. But, why should he risk his life when he could use a better and safer method to ensure his safety.

This was where his master came into the picture.

Corey did not have many connections to people who were tier 4 or higher.

The only person who was a tier 4 and he was close to, was his master.

Corey's plan was to ask his master to accompany him in meeting the Terror Queen and the remaining members of the group. In the instance that a fight occurred, Corey planned on making his master fight in his place.

But now?

His plans were completely shredded into pieces.

There was no way his master could protect him from a tier 6.

In fact, he wasn't sure if his master could protect himself.

"Stop thinking so much young man and come take a seat."

A calm and gentle voice flowed into Corey's ears and mind, disrupting his chain of thoughts.

Corey glanced at Calista who was sitting on one of the couches with her legs crossed and slight smile on her face. Her eyes contained visible amusement which Corey noticed.

Corey's eyes flickered with an unknown light, then his gaze shifted to two individuals who were standing behind Calista.

'The Terror Queen and her daughter.'

Corey eyes flashed with a strange light as he observed the mother and daughter duo. Especially, the daughter.

He could sense an aura of mysticism subtly emanating from her, and he knew what that meant.

Her daughter was a tier 4.

Corey was surprised when he noticed this, because he thought the mystic aura he perceived when he was outside belonged to the Terror Queen.

And from what he knew, the daughter was previously a tier 2, and to increase from a tier 2 to tier 4 in such a short time could be attributed to a few things.

Talent.

Luck.

Resources.

Corey was not sure if the girl's talent was extremely high since he had not inspected her stats. But, one thing Corey was sure of was that the girl was a blessed.

Though, a blessed with a below average amount of luck.

'I didn't know this girl was so full of surprises. Maybe I should have taken her with me a long time ago.'

Corey thought with mild interest, then his gaze shifted to her mother, The Terror Queen.

He was mildly surprised, disappointed, and curious as to why the Terror Queen was still a tier 3 when her daughter was a tier 4.

Especially with the increased resources she had as the leader of a mildly powerful organization.

He expected her to have become a tier 4 by now, and he was curious as to why she was not one yet.

'Maybe she gave most of the resources to her daughter to increase her stats and tier.'

Corey thought, then he walked to the couch opposite Calista and sat.

Despite all the thoughts that went through Corey's mind, only two seconds had passed.

The speed of his thought process was drastically different from when he was a tier 1.

Corey sat down on the couch with his master sitting by his right and Kiefer sitting by his left.

Without looking at the duo, Corey could sense the solemnness and nervousness of the duo beside him.

Which was not strange at all.

They were right before a tier 6 which could kill them so easily!

Why wouldn't they be nervousness?!

In fact, he was also slightly nervous!

"To what do I owe the pleasure of you requiring my presence manager of the Underworld Emporium?"

Despite knowing that in front of him was a true tier 6 which could kill him with the snap of a finger, Corey spoke with a calm tone, sounding neither fearful nor servile.

Calista chuckled, then she reclined into the couch.

"Why wouldn't I want to meet the famous and undisputed master of poisons in the entire Underworld, a young boy which possesses the ability to locate and interact with extremely rare plants, and last but not least..."

"Anon, the creator of Neon."

Calista's smile widened slightly.

"What should I call you by the way. Anon or Smile Reaper?"

Calista chuckled once more while taking a sip from a wine glass cup.

And, Corey's lips twitched.

He knew he was a goner for sure now.
