Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 343 342: A Show

?"Contact the Emporium manager."

When Divine's words flowed into Corey's ears, Corey raised his brows and looked at Divine with a slightly baffled expression.

"I can't call anybody in this place."

One of the few things he had tried when he entered this weird space was reaching out to his master and Kiefer. However, when he tried to contact them, he realized that communication through the U-Watch was not allowed.

"The manager of the Emporium isn't anybody."

Divine said, and Corey's brows furrowed slightly. He shook his head slightly, and then he attempted to call Calista.

"Call the Emporium manager." [A/N: Corey does not know the actual name of the Emporium manager.]

Corey commanded, but his U-Watch beeped before an automated voice disturbed the silence of the prison.

[CHECKING AUTHORIZATION TO CALL A HIGH-LEVEL UNDERWORLD OFFICIAL]

[USER HAS ENOUGH AUTHORIZATION]

[ATTEMPTING TO CALL THE MANAGER OF THE UNDERWORLD EMPORIUM]

[PLEASE WAIT…]

Corey was surprised when he heard the automated words from his U-Watch.

He had tried calling his master and Kiefer while walking to Divine's cell, and he was told that communication was banned due to his location.

But now, he could call the manager of the Underworld Emporium?

"If you have the contact and permission of one of the most important individuals of the Underworld, you can call them from anywhere in the Underworld."

"Places like the main prison of the Central Area where communication is banned would not stop you from communicating with them."

"Calista is one of the most important individuals in the Underworld Emporium, and since you're close to her, I expect her to have given you permission to call her anytime you want."

Divine explained while looking at Corey's beeping U-Watch.

Meanwhile, Corey's lips twitched when he heard Divine say he was close to Calista.

"I'm not close to her."

Corey clarified, and Divine looked at him with a smile. He gave no reply and instead looked at Corey's U-Watch.

"Let's just hope she answers your call."

Divine said, and Corey looked at him with raised brows.

"What do you plan on doing?"

Corey asked while he tried to figure out Divine's reason for wanting to speak with the manager of the Emporium.

Divine looked at Corey with a smile, and?then he shrugged nonchalantly.

"Risk my life."

Corey wore a baffled expression, and when he tried to question Divine, a familiar female voice flowed into the ears of Corey and Divine.

[Now, why is it that the rate you're calling me is more than that of my exes, Smile Reaper? In case you don't know, I'm not interested in weaklings.]

Hovering a few centimeters from Corey's face was a hologram that projected the image of Calista, who wore a slightly displeased expression on her immaculate face.

Corey ignored her words, and instead, he looked at Divine with an expression that said: 'Didn't I tell you that there was nothing between us.'

Divine ignored Corey and looked at the hologram hovering above Corey's U-Watch.

"Long time no see Manager."

Divine spoke out loud, and Calista raised her brows in slight surprise.

[You're still alive Divine?]

Calista asked while Corey turned his arm so that Calista could look at Divine.

Divine chuckled when he heard Calista's words, and with a slight smile filled with zero warmth, he spoke:

"You want me to die that badly huh?"

Calista leaned back onto the chair she was sitting on, then she tapped the table before her and replied:

[Not yet. I still need to find the thieves who stole from my domain.]

Calista said, and then her gaze shifted towards Corey, who maintained an indifferent expression despite her gaze.

[You guys are amongst the top of my list of suspects, and I can't have any of you die until I find my properties.]

Despite her words, Calista showed no sign of anger or displeasure. In fact, she was utterly calm, and this bothered Corey slightly.

Meanwhile, Divine chuckled with an indifferent tone, and with a smile, he spoke:

"I told Smile Reaper to call you so that I can make a deal with you."

Calista raised her brows.

[You want to give back what you stole from me for your freedom?]

Calista asked with raised brows, and Divine's left eye twitched.

"I didn't steal from you," Divine replied with a frustrated tone, and when he saw that Calista was about to speak, he quickly said:

"I want to give you and the Underworld a show. An interesting show."

Both Calista and Corey had baffled expressions, and the gears in their minds spun as they tried to figure out the meaning behind Divine's words.

[What do you mean?]

Calista asked, and Divine's smile widened.

"For my freedom, I'll fight any tier 5."

"..."

[...]

Corey and Calista were stunned the instant they heard Divine's words, and for a second, they thought they hadheard wrong despite their superb hearing abilities.

[What did you say?]

Calista questioned since she could not believe her ears at all.

Divine wanted to fight a tier 5?

As a tier 3?

Calista could not believe it! And neither could Corey!

When Divine told him he planned on risking his life for his freedom, his mind thought of many possibilities.

He thought maybe Divine planned on deceiving Calista.

He thought maybe Divine planned on telling Calista an important secret of his.

He thought maybe Divine planned on blackmailing Calista.

He had so many thoughts and ideas!

But what his mind never thought of was Divine fighting a tier 5!

Although it was just a difference of two tiers, the difference between a tier 4 and a tier 5 was as vast as the distance between the stars and the earth.

Fighting a tier 5 as a tier 3 was not the same as a tier 2 fighting a tier 4.

A tier 4 could be described as a low-level mystic being.

But a tier 5…

"You heard me, Mrs. Manager. Have a meeting with your people and tell them I'll fight any tier 5 as a show for the Underworld."

"If I win, I gain my freedom. And if I lose, I die."

"Regardless of the result, you can make a profit from the fight."
