Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 149 148: Divine's Teammates

?

"How did you feel about the sermon kid?"

Sitting round a table were two men. Both were handsome, with one having light skin and the other having caramel skin.

In front of the two men were steaming plates of steak with a side of vegetables and white napkins by the sides of the plates.

The man with the light skin who spoke, had differently colored pupils. He had a small smile on his face as he cut a part of the steak with a knife and fork.

Meanwhile the other 'man' with caramel skin glanced at the man with light skin for a second then he faced his plate of steak.

He picked up the fork and knife placed on either sides of the plate, then he spoke:

"The sermon was… intriguing."

With a calm tone and expression, the caramel colored skin 'man' which was Corey, replied, then he cut a part of the steak and placed it in his mouth.

Meanwhile the light skinned man which was Divine, had a small smile on his face hearing Corey's reply.

He cut another part of the steak and placed it in his mouth, chewed on it, swallowed it, then he spoke once again:

"What did you think about Fatty during the sermon? How did you perceive him?"

Divine asked and Corey's brows furrowed slightly as he pondered on the question while placing another piece of steak in his mouth.

It took him a few seconds to ponder on the right words to answer that question and with a soft gulp, he swallowed the piece of meat and replied:

"I feel like he has a lot of experience with women… mainly bad experiences with women. He has most likely suffered from women in the past."

Corey replied as he looked at Divine who was placing a piece of steak in his mouth.

A few seconds later, Divine swallowed the piece of meat and with a small chuckle, he spoke:

"Funny enough, he has not suffered from women at all."

With a small smile on his lips, Divine replied and Corey's brows were raised in surprise.

"That damn fatty only learnt from unfortunate men who have suffered from women. The fucker never suffered from women and well, he doesn't plan on suffering at all due to women."

Hearing Divine's words, Corey had a surprised expression on his face and his lips parted open, wanting to speak.

But just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice reached Corey's ears, causing Corey to turn towards the source.

"Although I've never suffered from women, I love all women Captain. I would love it if you don't paint me as a villain of all women. Thank you."

Wearing the same clothes he wore on stage, Fatty Black Bonez walked with a calm gaze and steps towards the table where Corey and Divine were sitting at.

Around Fatty Black Bonez were four 'strange' people, though one was familiar to Corey.

The five people, including Fatty Black Bonez walked towards Corey and Divine and a few seconds later, they all sat on the benches round the table.

"You say you love all women and you're not the villain of women, but what about the lady you embarrassed during your sermon?"

Divine asked with twitching lips as he looked at Fatty Black Bonez who was sitting on the right hand side of the table.

"Well… She was at the wrong place at the wrong time and she also spoke at wrong time."

With an expression that showed no regrets, Fatty Black Bonez shrugged then he looked around.

"Hey Cap, where's our food? Why did you only buy for him?"

Pointing at Corey, Fatty Black Bonez questioned causing Corey to glance at him.

"Did you not just make some money, buy your own food fool."

Divine spoke as he cut another piece of his steak.

"Free food is the sweetest."

Fatty Black Bonez mumbled then he looked at Corey who was eating his steak and vegetables with a calm and indifferent expression.

"Wouldn't you introduce the new guy to us Cap?"

Corey once again glanced at Fatty Black Bonez and Divine looked at everybody, then he cleared his throat.

"Hmm, hmm."

"So guys, this is Smile Reaper, a newbie."

Gesturing towards Corey, Divine spoke, causing everybody to look at Corey who maintained a calm expression.

"And kid, these are the members of my group."

Corey stopped eating and looked at Divine while cleaning his mouth with the handkerchief that was placed beside his plate of food.

"You already know Fatty, otherwise known as Fatty Black Bonez."

Gesturing towards Fatty Black Bonez who was sitting by the right side of the table, Divine spoke and Corey glanced at him and nodded slightly in greeting.

"Woah, he greets?"

Fatty Black Bonez spoke with a surprised expression and tone seeing Corey greet him with a nod, causing Corey's lips to twitch.

"Anyway, that guy beside Fatty is called Dave. He's blind and an alcoholic."

Divine gestured towards the man who was sitting beside Fatty Black Bonez and Corey looked at the man.

The man was fairly handsome and from his eyes, Corey could see that the man was blind.

But,

From what Corey could see, the man was an alcoholic like Divine said.

The man would occasionally drink from a glass bottle and with release a sigh of satisfaction, and although the man was blind, he looked perfectly in Corey's direction.

"Hey man."

He greeted with slightly slurred speech and Corey nodded back at him.

"Ehm. So who should I introduce next?"

Divine muttered, then he looked to his left where two people were sitting side by side.

A male and a female.

"That is Triple X or XXX, he was born in the Underworld."

Divine gestured towards the man and Corey looked at the man.

The man could also be considered to be handsome, but he had lots of tattoos on his face.

Not only that, he had an expression of boredom and even… negativity.

Corey didn't know how to explain it, but that was the closest word he could use to explain what he felt from Triple X which could in a way explain why Triple X did not even bother greeting Corey.

"You've already seen her and you've already heard her name from Fatty's fat lips."

"That's Melissa."

Divine gestured towards the second familiar figure he recognized from Divine's group.

She was the woman with the intriguing white snake around her neck.

Corey looked at her and he saw the snake looking at him with rapt attention. Not only was the snake looking at Corey with rapt attention, Melissa also had a strange light in her eyes as she looked at Corey.

A few seconds later, she waved at Corey with a smile.

"Hi."

She greeted and Corey nodded at her, though he felt like she was wary of him.

"The last person is Rosa, the… craziest in our group."

Just as Corey was observing both Melissa and her snake, Divine's voice reached his ears.

Corey turned towards him and he saw gesturing towards the last person who was sitting beside him.

Corey looked at the person, which was a girl with blood red hair and eyes with her hands placed below the table.

The girl had a 'docile' expression on her face as she nodded towards Corey who nodded back towards her.

Corey did not know why, but he felt like he had encountered the girl before.

Not only that, Corey felt like the girl had a strange hidden desire towards him.

"Anyway, Corey. I know you already declined my invitation to join my group, but I'd like to ask again."

"Would you like to join my group?"

Corey looked at Divine who spoke and a confused and curious expression appeared on his face.

He was extremely, extremely curious why Divine wanted him in his group so badly and although he could ask.

He knew that Divine would most likely not tell him the truth or the full truth.

Corey leaned on the backrest of the bench he was sitting on and had a pondering expression on his face for a few seconds.

He looked at Divine, trying to get something, anything, from his facial expression, but all Corey could see was a calm expression with a glint of hope in his eyes.

"I can join your group, but it would be under one condition."

With a calm and indifferent tone and expression, Corey spoke.

Divine had raised brows hearing Corey's words.

He looked at Corey, wanting to guess just what Corey's condition could be.

'Does he want to be the leader?'

It would not be strange to Divine if Corey said he wanted to be the leader of the group since he had encountered people like that.

People he would invite to the group and tell him that they wanted to be the leader or co-leader if he wanted them to join.

'I hope he's not like those fools.'

Divine thought as he looked at Corey.

"What is the condition?"

Divine asked and Corey leaned forward slightly and said words that never in his life, did he expect Corey to say.

"We'll start selling drugs."
