"Welcome to the Underworld kid, the place of madness and sins. How about we talk?"
As soon as those the words flowed into Corey's ears, his pupils constricted and in the next instant he grabbed the arm on his shoulder, kicked his right leg backwards in an attempt to trip the source of the voice.
As soon as he felt his right leg hit the leg of the person behind him, he instantly tightened his grip around the arm and tried to fling the other person over his shoulders.
But,
"Calm down kid. I'm not here to hurt you, if I wanted, you'd be dead by now."
The person spoke with a calm tone filled slight amusement as he tightened his grip on Corey's right shoulder.
Corey could feel an iron grip coming from the hand on his shoulder and from the grip, he knew he could not defeat the person behind him in terms of strength.
"What do you want?"
Corey asked with a calm voice and as soon as he asked, the person behind him removed his arm from his shoulder.
"Like I said, I just want us to talk."
The person said and Corey turned back, wanting to see the person behind him, and when he did, he was slightly confused when he saw the person.
"Why the confused expression kid?"
The person in front of him asked and Corey raised an eyebrow, but he didn't reply.
Though, in his thoughts,
'You don't look much older than me, so why are you calling me a kid?'
Corey had this thought as he looked at the person in front of him which looked around his age.
The young man in front of him was what everybody would call handsome. He had a devilishly handsome face and his hair and eyes had two colors, blue and red.
Most of his hair was red while the tip of his hair was blue. Meanwhile his left eye was blue and right eye was red.
He was wearing black trouser and a pale blue long sleeved t-shirt, on his feet were white sneakers.
"What do you want?"
After taking in the young man's appearance, he asked once again causing the young man to chuckle.
"I guess you're not much of a speaker."
He said and Corey replied with an indifferent tone.
"Towards strangers? Yes."
Hearing Corey's words, the young man lifted one of his brows, then spoke:
"Well let me introduce myself then."
He paused, then continued.
"I'm Divine but in this place, people call me Fireboy, WizKid or KidIce. Though my people call me Captain or Captain Divine."
With a proud expression and tone, the young man, no, Divine spoke and Corey for an instant did not know why, but he just had the urge to punch his face and knock off that proud expression on his face.
Reeling in his urge, Corey just had an indifferent expression as he looked at Divine.
Cough
Divine coughed with a slightly embarrassed expression and a second later, he spoke:
"Whatever, you don't have to speak."
Divine spoke and Corey spoke once again:
"What do you want?"
Hearing and seeing Corey's indifferent tone and expression, Divine sighed internally.
'What's with this kid? He's just a newcomer so why is he so indifferent and calm?'
Divine thought with a frustrated expression, then he sighed and spoke:
"I was watching you when you first arrived here and after watching you for some time, I was impressed by your demeanor and the decisions that you made."
Divine said, praising Corey but Corey still had an indifferent expression hearing the praise and did not say a word.
Divine expected Corey to say something but much to his frustration, Corey didn't say a single word.
"Anyway, I'm here to invite you to my group and I can also give you information regarding the Underworld."
Divine said and Corey raised both of his brows.
"You want to give me information for free?"
Corey asked with a suspicious tone which showed that he clearly did not believe Divine words.
In a psychotic place like this, there was no way he would believe that somebody would decide to help him for free or for no reason.
"Of course it's not for free. I want you to join my group."
"Not interested."
Hearing Divine's words, Corey did not hesitate to reject his offer and was about to turn around.
In this sort of place where he knew nothing and nobody, there was no way he was going to join a group he had zero information about.
But just as Corey was about to walk away, Divine spoke:
"Relax man. Why are you so cautious about everything."
Hearing Divine words, Corey raised an eyebrow then looked at the group which were still taking turns raping the two girls and having an orgy.
Divine seeing his silent gesture had an awkward expression then coughed silently.
"Okay, good point."
He said and Corey was about to walk away without saying anything, but Divine spoke once again and his words caused Corey to stop:
"I'll give you the information for free, you don't need to join my group.
You know as well as I do that you need info and let me just say that you will not get it easily in this place at all."
Corey stopped then turned towards Divine, a suspicious expression appeared on his face and he spoke:
"Why do you want to help me?"
Hearing Corey's question, Divine shrugged and spoke nonchalantly:
"Cause I want to. I just feel like helping you that's all."
Corey raised a brow hearing Divine's answer and he knew that Divine knew he didn't believe his reason for helping him at all.
He just wanted to help him, a stranger, in a place like this, for no reason?
If that was not bullshit, then he didn't know what was.
"So let's just say that I believe you, what can you tell me?"
Corey asked with folded arms and a grin formed on the lips of Divine.
"Lots of things kid, lots of things.
It's time I give you a lecture on the course, Welcome to the Underworld 101."
