Chapter 297 296: The Terror Queen's Superior
As Corey read the papers, he was able to know just how difficult the lives of the Terror Queen and Usher had been in the past month.
He wasn't surprised when he realized that Oscar wrote in details just how exactly they had suffered, most likely an attempt to bring forth sympathy from him.
From the papers, Corey knew that Oscar previously planned on removing his hands from Neon after this month ended.
A decision which was not surprising to Corey.
Assuming he had given Oscar, the Terror Queen and Divine the complete concoction method for Neon, most of what had happened would not have happened.
Neon would still be in business and would even be more popular and produce more money and power for him.
But did Corey regret his decision?
No.
No, he didn't.
Before Corey went to the evolution center, he did not have the confidence that he would survive the first tribulation of hell.
If he died during the tribulation, then there was no point in there been Neon.
If he took way too long in the evolution center, then a lot of things would definitely have changed in his Neon business and there was a possibility he would no longer be in control of his Neon business.
He did not regret his decision and he knew he would make the same decision if he had the chance to again.
Asides from the difficulty in the lives of Oscar and the Terror Queen, there were two pieces of interesting information that Oscar gave him.
The first was an upcoming large auction in the next three weeks.
The second was information on the Terror Queen.
Ever since Corey met the Terror Queen, she had told him that she was under a higher power.
An organization so powerful that it even scared her, the Terror Queen.
Corey had tried to use value points to figure out the identity of the force behind the Terror Queen, but the price of the information was so disgustingly high that Corey instantly dismissed the idea of using value points.
Corey told Oscar to try and figure it out the identity of the Terror Queen's superior, and till the time of his disappearance, he had been unsuccessful.
But now?
Oscar had a clue.
And the clue shocked Corey and even made him groan in frustration.
Calista.
Oscar's clue led him to believe that the Terror Queen's superior identity was Calista, the manager of the Underworld Emporium.
There was a reason as to why Oscar had this thought.
His spies had seen the most important subordinates and even Calista meeting up with the Terror Queen more than once.
And this reason was more than enough for Corey.
Corey did not believe that the Terror Queen possessed something that would make Calista, a bonafide tier 6 to personally come to the Terror Queen's territory and also leave without causing a ruckus.
Due to this, Corey was 70% sure that the Terror Queen's superior was none other than Calista, the manager of the Underworld Emporium, and a genuine tier 6.
'I thought her superior would be somebody from one of the top five groups amongst the Underworld residents.'
Corey sighed while rubbing his forehead.
Never did Corey expect a tier 6 to be the Terror Queen's superior.
With this, Corey realized that a lot of things had to be changed.
A tier 6 was a power he had to be wary of. And just the thought of what Calista could do made Corey groan in frustration.
One good thing came out of the information given to him by Oscar though, and that was that his decision to visit Oscar first was right.
If Calista was truly the Terror Queen's superior, then there was a possibility the Terror Queen already knew about Neon, his identity as Anon, and… his true identity as Corey.
Although, Divine used a lot of value points to hide his information, it wouldn't be surprising if Calista, a tier 6, still found out about his identity.
Corey wouldn't even be surprised if Calista's people apprehended him the instant he entered the building where the Terror Queen stayed or they apprehended him while he was here.
He didn't know the full capabilities of a tier 6 nor did he have an inkling of how the minds of a tier 6 worked. He didn't know how they thought and this irked him.
'Funny enough, the upcoming large auction is held by the Underworld Emporium.'
Corey frowned slightly, then a thought came to his mind and a few seconds later, a gleam flashed in Corey's eyes along with a slight smile.
'This could work. I'll make use of the auction.'
Corey's smile widened slightly as the gears in his mind worked at full speed.
A few seconds later, he exhaled softly then looked at Oscar who patiently waited for him to completely digest the information he had given him.
Although, Oscar had given him valuable information on the status of Neon, the Terror Queen and Calista, he had none on the current status of the members of Divine's group.
It was sort of surprising to Corey that Oscar had absolutely no information on Rosa, Fatty Black Bonez, and the rest.
Oscar's information network was not the best and not too high leveled, but it was also something one could not ignore.
Even if Rosa and the rest planned on hiding, it was surprising that they could do so in a matter that was so effective, clean and silent.
Although, Corey was curious about the whereabouts and conditions of Rosa and the rest, he was not too eager to find them yet.
He still felt slightly suspicious about the whole thing regarding Divine and his group.
"I'll need a room to stay in for days. Probably four days at most."
Anon said, and Oscar nodded.
"I'll tell my people to prepare the best guest room for you."
Oscar said and a slight smile appeared on Anon's face.
"You should probably do that yourself. Your guards are currently… incapacitated."
A shiver went through Oscar's spine when he heard Anon's words along with the light harmless smile.
"Are they… dead?"
Oscar asked with a trembling heart.
Hiring most of his subordinates were not cheap!
They were not cheap at all!
"They're still alive. They're currently asleep."
Anon replied and a baffled expression appeared on Oscar's face.
'Asleep?'
Oscar thought but didn't ask any questions.
He was more than relieved that his subordinates were not dead.
"Please follow me sir."
Oscar stood and walked towards the door with Anon and Kiefer in tow.
