Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon-Chapter 686 - 685: Smiling
The atmosphere became tense after Prince spoke his mind on his view of humans.
Corey had an indifferent expression and he said nothing in response to Prince's words.
For various reasons, he neither denied nor agreed to Prince's assumption on him being a non-human.
First of all, he had no desire to expose the fact that he was either a human or a non-human.
No one, not even Pamela or Divine was certain that he was not a human. He was certain that they had their suspicions because a human could not be as talented as he was.
However, the crucial fact was that they had their suspicions and Corey had no desire to make these suspicions facts.
Another reason why he chose to remain silent was because Prince's words touched a deep part of him he had been subconsciously pushing to the back of his mind.
Was he still a human?
Was he a Paragon?
Or was he currently half Paragon, half human?
Or was he neither, and he was becoming something else because of his talents?
These questions and several other questions arose in Corey's mind the moment he heard Prince's words about humans and non-humans.
His opinions on the hypocrisy of humans and whatnot mattered not to him, however, his words had triggered these emotions deep in his heart.
Just as his mind was about to become lost in these train of thoughts, his Stars of Consciousness shook him out of these thoughts.

Corey exhaled softly, and then he looked at Prince emotionlessly.
"So, why did you want to meet me?"
Prince raised his brows, and then he chuckled with a smile of disdain.
"I was the one that wanted to get right down to business but you said otherwise. Now that I challenge your worldview, you run away from it and want to get right down to business instead?"
"I'm disappointed in you, child."
Corey gave no response and just stared at Prince with an emotionless expression.
Prince clicked his tongue, and then he placed his hand in the Inner pocket of his white suit and brought out a small vial.
In the vial was a finely powdered white crystal, and the moment Corey saw the powdered crystal, he instantly knew it was Neon.
"I'm sure you know what this is."
Prince shook the vial slightly, and Corey leaned into his chair and raised his brows.
"I've heard about it. Some people refer to it as a Miracle Drug."
Prince grinned, "Of course, this is a miracle drug. It's a narcotic that can increase the attributes of Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3."
"Do you know how absurd this drug is. You don't have to use your free attribute points or a soul stone to increase your stats. You just need to smoke, drink, inject, or eat the drug and you'll become stronger."
"Do you know the power that would be in the hands of the person who can create this drug."
Corey's expression remained the same as Prince spoke, and with the same emotionless expression, he replied.
"I can guess."
Prince looked at Corey for some seconds, and then he sighed.
"You don't have the same enthusiasm I have for this drug."
Corey raised his brows with a tinge of unveiled mockery in his eyes.
"I'm not the owner of the drug and I clearly have no need of it."
Prince looked at Corey with an expression that made it seem like he was looking at a fool.
"It's either you're extremely arrogant or you can't comprehend the potential and importance of this drug."
"Oh, trust me. I can comprehend the potential and importance of this drug."
Corey scoffed, and then he folded his arms.
"Tell me, did you come here to advertise the drug to me or you want me to buy it from you or what?"
"I want you to join my team of scientists and figure out the components of Neon and how to mass produce it."
Corey raised his brows in mock surprise, and then he scoffed.
"Well, I refuse. I'm a busy man and I don't feel like wasting my time with a bunch of... well, you losers basically."
Prince stared at Corey for some seconds, and then he shook his head with a disappointed expression.
Whoosh!
SHING!
"It wasn't a request, but an order."
Jamal's cold voice that was filled with malice and killing intent flowed into Corey's ears, and Corey calmly looked at his neck.
Pointed at his neck were gleaming sharp claws that tried to pierce through Corey's neck but failed.
Although Jamal's movement was extremely fast, he had been able to track his movement, and the moment his claws tried to pierce his neck in order not to kill him but draw blood from it, Corey erected thick and small hexagon barriers in front of the claws.
The claws shattered the barriers, but his actions prevented Jamal's claws from even causing a single harm to his body.
Through his Eyes of Omniscience, he could see the shock that was in Jamal's eyes and also that ot Prince because they had seen what he did.
They were above average Tier 5s, and they were able to see what he did, and it stunned and shocked both of them.
Just when they thought that Corey could not surprise them anymore, he always found a way to surprise and stun them.
Corey glanced at the claws, then he slowly looked at Jamal with the same indifferent expression, and then he said nothing but shifted his gaze towards Prince.
"You want me to work for you but it seems you've forgotten that I'm in Divine's group. Divine is not going to take this lightly."
Corey said, and Prince chuckled with a smile filled with mockery, arrogance, and disdain.
"Divine? What can he and his ragtag bunch of followers do? Divine is merely a Tier 3 who's on the bunch of becoming a Tier 4 and from what I last heard, most, if not all of you are Tier 3s."
"If not for the wealth of information and actual wealth he possessed, Divine would not be so popular in the Underworld."
"Did you ever think that Divine's name would deter me from getting you?"
Prince laughed out loud, and a small smile appeared on Corey's lips.
"My name should be enough reason for you to run away from me."
"Your name?" Prince frowned.
"What's my name? Say my name."
Corey glanced at Prince, and then he shifted his gaze to Jamal.
"Say my name, Jamal."
Corey's unleashed his aura, killing intent and Phantom Plague Axe Heart Intent on both Jamal and Prince, and in the next second, they both said his name.
"Smile Reaper?"
"S-Smile Reaper."
"Good." Corey smiled, and then his smile slowly vanished from his face as he shifted his gaze from Jamal to Prince.
"Now, do I look like I'm smiling?"
