Chapter 573 572: Vote
After hearing about the past and life story of Prince Zeran from Divine, Corey had a contemplative expression as numerous thoughts appeared in his mind.
Although this information given to him by Divine was not enough for him to accurately guess why exactly the Prince of the Scorching Sun Kingdom sent a messenger to him specifically, and not Divine or Melissa who were in a higher tier than he was, it at least gave him something to work with.
'I guess I'll figure out why the Prince chose me if I meet him.'
Corey thought, and then Divine spoke.
"Do you plan on accepting his invitation?"
Corey glanced at Divine, and he could see a rare expression of seriousness on Divine's face. Corey remained silent for a few seconds, and then he nodded, "I do."
"You're smart, and I'm sure you've already come to the conclusion that he wants to use you, right?" Divine said with a solemn tone, and Corey nodded slightly.
'It's one of my conclusions, and not the only conclusion I came up with.'
Although he had this thought, he didn't bother saying it out loud, "I know."
"But you still want to go?" Divine asked with slightly furrowed brows, and Corey tilted his head to his left slightly.
"It's like you don't want me to meet him?" Corey asked, but it was not really a question.
"It's extremely risky." Divine paused for two seconds, and then he continued, "If you meet up with him and you, in some way, offend him, the consequences would not be small... If you choose not to meet him, he'll most likely forget about you and see you as a coward or a cautious person even if a part of him feels offended by the fact that a mere Tier 2 rejected him."
"In my opinion, not meeting him to avoid any future problems is wise and much better."
Corey frowned deeply when he heard this. He remained silent for some seconds and the stars in his mind spun and flared up as his mind conjured up a lot of thoughts, guesses, simulations, and questions.
Approximately seven seconds later, he looked at Divine and asked a question.
"Compared to the Scorching Sun Kingdom, how powerful is your family, the House of Divine?"
"The Scorching Sun Kingdom would annihilate my family." Divine replied in a heartbeat, and Corey's frown deepened when he heard this.
The instant Corey said this, Divine released a deep sigh of frustration. He remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.
"Alright, since you're so adamant about going, then we'll vote."
Corey raised his brows, and then he shifted his gaze from Divine to Melissa.
Melissa was taken aback for a second, but then she smiled at Divine, "I'm interested in the invitation."
"God damn it!" Divine cursed and Corey's lips curled upwards.
Sigh
Divine sighed, and with a tone of resignation, he stood and cursed once again.
"Fine, we'll accept the invitation and meet with the 14th Prince of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, but I have a damn bloody feeling that something bad would happen, and guess what... my instincts are usually right!"
Without waiting for a reply from Corey or Melissa, he walked to the door and opened it. Just as he was about to leave the room, Corey spoke.
"Don't be late for the meeting tomorrow."
"Tch." Divine paused, and then he hissed in anger before walking out of the room and slamming the door shut.
Corey chuckled softly, and then he glanced at Melissa.
"I guess I should say thanks for agreeing to meet the Prince."
Melissa smiled and shrugged as she stood, "I didn't do it for you, I'm also interested in meeting a Prince of a powerful Kingdom of our Universe."
Corey did not know why, but the image of Melissa and Javier's entwining figures appeared in his head after Melissa said those words.
Corey forced himself to smile instead of his lips twitching, and then without saying anything, he watched Melissa walk out of his room.
'I guess I'm going to meet a Prince for the first time in my life.' Corey chuckled softly with a light smile.
