Chapter 253 252: Post Two Weeks

Two weeks went by, and just as Divine instructed, Corey did not bring out any of the stolen loot. He stayed at Rosa's residence which was in the inner part of the city of sin.

During those two weeks, Corey went out to explore more of the city of sin. He subtly expanded his drug empire, and according to the Terror Queen, Neon had already reached 80% of the outer area of the city of sin.

Meaning that 80% of the population in the outer area of the city of sin were consuming Neon.

It was truly an absurd number, but when one thought about it, it was not surprising.

Neon was most likely the only narcotic that could permanently increase the stats of a tier 3 and below.

Why wouldn't one want a drug that could send one above cloud nine, and also permanently make them stronger.

No pain.

More gain.

More power.

It was a dream come true for most people in the Underworld.

And there was no negative side-effects of neon… for now.

Neon was cheap, and Corey wanted it to become available to every resident in the outer area of the city of sin for a certain plan of his.

He had plans to circulate Neon into the inner area, and if possible, the central area.

But for his plans to come to fruition, he needed a headquarters.

He had already made plans with his group members on what they all needed to do for the construction of the headquarters, and what it needed after its construction.

Rosa's job was to recruit security guards for the headquarters, and since Corey was staying with Rosa, he decided to help her.

Although, he could not use his full strength, the damage done on his mana veins, and poison infinity core had recovered a little bit.

He could use his Eyes of Omniscience to look at the stats, and internal structure of an inidvidual.

With his Eyes of Omniscience, he could guess how high the potential of an individual was. Although, just knowing the stats and potential of an individual was not enough to hire them as a security guard, it was immensely helpful.

Rosa and Corey didn't have to waste time looking for individuals who had the potential to be long-term guards.

Asides from recruiting guards for Neon Headquarters, Corey and Rosa also went to the Emporium, much to the surprise of Rosa, and Calista.

Although, Calista had allowed Corey and Divine to leave after inspecting them, that did not mean that the duo were out of her list of suspects.

In fact, the duo were surprisingly still high on her suspect list.

She just could not remove Divine from her list of suspects due to his past actions in the Underworld.

Divine had stolen high priced treasures from some high level Underworld Officials, and even from the home of the previous Underworld Lord of the Outer Area.

Due to Divine's heist on the residence of the Outer Underworld Lord, the previous Director of the Underworld killed him for his incompetence.

A tier 5 Underworld Official had been killed due to Divine!

Nobody knew how Divine had accomplished something which was regarded as impossible and insane.

When every resident of the Underworld knew that Divine was the culprit, everybody expected Divine to be a dead man the next day at most. But to their utmost surprise, Divine was still alive and kicking.

Nobody knew why the previous Director did not kill Divine, and although questions were asked, the late Director never gave his reason for keeping Divine alive.

Even the five tier 6s who had the same authority as the previous Director were not told why Divine was kept alive.

The late Director's determination to not spill his reason for not killing Divine shocked the five tier 6s, and due to this, Divine was among the few individuals that was on their watchlist.

Up till this day, Calista had not been able to figure out how Divine robbed the previous Outer Underworld Lord, and since she didn't know what method Divine used, she couldn't remove Divine off her list of suspects.

She had assigned some of the best spies she had to spy on the movements, and actions of Divine and Corey for the last two weeks.

Although, she was frustrated. She had learnt an interesting piece of information.

The reason for Divine's interest in a weak tier 1.

Ever since Calista saw Corey, she had been wondering why Divine would choose to recruit a tier 1 into his group of enigmatic individuals.

She saw nothing special in Corey.

Sure, his foundation was excellent for a tier 1.

He had reached the peak of the yellow star phase in all his stats as a tier 1.

Was there anything special in it to her?

No!

The number of people who had maxed out their stats as a tier 1 could not be counted.

But, the number of people who maintained this consistency as they progressed unto higher tiers could be counted.

Very few had the patience and determination to max out their stats for every tier, and there was a high chance that Corey would also fail in maxing out his stats for every tier.

Even if he didn't, he wouldn't be the first, second, third, fourth, nor fifth to have done such.

Also, Corey's mana veins and mana core were damaged.

And there was a possibility that it would affect his foundation in the future.

So, in Calista's eyes, maxing out ones stats as a tier 1 was good, she didn't think something like that should have influenced Divine's decision in recruiting Corey into his group of tier 3s.

Calista had this thought until one of her spies brought a report concerning Neon.

One could imagine the shock and surprise she had that there was a narcotic that could permanently increase the stats of mortals.

The presence of the narcotic would a 1000% disturb the market in the Underworld, and the outside world.

The ingredients for the manufacturing of Neon was unbelievably cheap, and it didn't take a long time for the narcotic to be produced.

If such a product did not increase her pockets and influence by a large amount, then she didn't know what would.

Well, there were a lot of things that would actually.

Although, Calista was tempted to snatch the method on how to produce such a narcotic, she decided to keep an eye on Corey's narcotic business.

Although Calista thought she knew why Divine recruited Corey into his group, she would be surprised to find out that she was totally wrong.
