Chapter 285 284: Prisoner?

With an aura and a gaze that was completely different from when he entered the evolution center, Corey walked out of the evolution center.

Corey squinted his eyes as a bright light entered his eyes.

The inside of the evolution center was not as bright as daylight, and the sudden bright light caused him to squint his eyes.

"Huh?"

A deep manly voice flowed into Corey's ears, and he turned to his left.

He furrowed his brows slightly when he noticed a short male with reddish brownish hair sitting a few meters to his left.

The male was around 1.7m in height, and he also had a large axe strapped to his back. He had a face which would be considered average, and he was bald with no facial hair.

"Who are you?"

The bald short male asked with squinted eyes as he looked at Corey with a tinge of wariness.

He didn't know who the young man was, but he could feel a strange aura that was somewhat dangerous coming out from the young man.

The strange aura baffled him since he could sense that the young man before him was still a mortal.

Though, he was not certain of the young man's tier.

'What sort of eyes does he have?'

The bald short man frowned as he gazed at Corey's dual colored eyes which gave him a slight chill.

'Scan.'

The bald short man tried to inspect Corey, but he got nothing from his inspection.

The bald short man's face hardened.

Corey calmly looked around before gazing at the bald short man who was a mystical being.

'A tier 4 at least.'

Corey thought, then he showed his Underground Watch to the bald short man who he guessed was the current guard of the Evolution Center.

'I wonder what happened to the previous guard.'

'Did they replace him permanently or is it temporary?'

Corey thought as he observed the bald short guard who relaxed slightly upon seeing Corey's U-Watch.

"I was taking the tier 2 promotion trial."

Corey calmly spoke as he gestured towards the evolution center.

"But, I don't know how long I spent in the trial."

The bald short man frowned for a few seconds, then he nodded.

This would not be the first time somebody would spend a long time inside an evolution center so he wasn't too surprised.

"What's your name? And when did you enter?"

The bald short man decided to believe Corey's explanation.

If Corey could give him his name, he would be able to search for information on Corey through the Underworld database.

"I'm Smile Reaper. But, I don't know the date of when I entered."

Corey slightly frowned.

Was he imagining it, or did he see a tinge of surprise in the gaze of the bald short man?

Corey suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You're Smile Reaper?"

The bald short man asked while looking at Corey from his head to toe.

It was sort of comical considering the immense height difference between Corey and the bald short man.

" Yes. I'm Smile Reaper."

Although, Corey had a bad feeling, he decided not to act rashly.

He wanted to know the reason for his bad feeling.

The bald short man gazed at Corey for a few seconds once again before shaking his head softly.

"You're the Smile Reaper that was an underling of the prisoner Divine right?"

'Prisoner?'

Corey frowned.

"I'm not his underling."

Despite Corey hearing the bald guard call Divine a prisoner, Corey still chose to correct the words of the bald short guard.

In a way, just the thought of people seeing him as an underling of Divine irked Corey.

The short bald guard was taken aback by Corey's words. He gave Corey a strange look, but Corey did not care.

"What happened to Divine? Why is he a prisoner?"

Corey asked, after ignoring the short bald guard's strange gaze.

"He was caught stealing a precious object in the mansion of the Underworld Lord of the Central Area."

Corey's heart skipped a beat when he heard the guard's words.

'Crap.'

"What's going to happen to him? What of the remaining group members?"

"Rosa, Fatty Black Bonez, Dave, Melissa, Triple X?"

Corey asked, and the bald short guard shrugged nonchalantly.

"I don't know what happened to them. I was told to give you this information when you came out."

"Took you long enough by the way."

Corey had a strange expression when he heard the bald short man's words.

His eyes flashed with a pondering glint, before flashing with a glint of realization.

"Divine sent you?"

Corey said, then he frowned slightly.

"No. He hired you?"

Corey said, and the short bald man replied with a smile.

"You should get going."

The short bald man said, and Corey nodded before walking away.

After taking two steps, he stopped and turned back.

"I forgot to ask how long I spent in the evolution center."

"Oh."

The short bald man raised his brows, and he furrowed his brows in thought.

"Six months. You've spent four months in the evolution center."

'Six months?'

Corey frowned as he heard the bald guard's words.

Although, he knew that a long time would most probably have gone by, he never expected it to be up to six months.

Six months was a fairly long time for a tier 2 trial, and a lot of things could have happened.

Take for instance, 

Divine been a prisoner.

And, his Neon business.

'The amount of Neon I left was not meant to last for six months.'

Corey's eyes darkened when he thought of how his Neon business could have crumbled.

Although, Divine been a prisoner was sort of worrying.

Corey knew that Divine would survive.

Nina had told him that Divine was a child of heaven, and he had a massive amount of luck.

With his luck, something would most likely happen and Divine would survive.

Or, in fact, he'll come out of his predicament stronger than before.

Due to all of these, Corey was not worried about Divine.

For all he knew, a lightning bolt or a massive tornado could appear from nowhere, and attack the Underworld. And Divine would be saved in the process.

'If the Underworld gets destroyed so as to free Divine, then that would be nice.'

Corey thought, then he released a soft sigh and walked away.

He just hoped his drug business was not entirely ruined.

As the short bald man watched Corey walk away, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and an emotionless expression appeared on his face.

"I don't know how that guy did it. But, everybody he chose in his group are all extraordinary."

"... Especially this one."

"I wonder if this one would survive."
