Chapter 613: First Meal (1/2)

”Do you find me beautiful, Kian?” Cora asked the moment she arrived before our bored gamer.

She wanted to be sophisticated and cool in her delivery but alas, she appeared quite awkward indeed when she added some lip biting in the act.

Her innocence in the art of seduction failed horribly but this was her way in pushing her advantage. After all, Cora knew who the real big boss in this cage really was.

”Of course!” Clark answered like a true simp at this time.

But if truth be told, our good gamer had seen more enchanting women in the past. Luckily, there was no reason to say that of course.

Since he needed to find 10 lovers in this realm, he would grab at the earliest opportunity he could get. More than that, he could also see the green tag at the top of Cora's head.

It was easy to see that she was indeed a kind soul beneath all her epic externals. And this curiosity prompted our avid gamer to dig deeper into the past of this fine and attractive girl.

”Why were you sent to this place, Cora?” Clark asked. The lovely girl paused for 10 seconds or so until she took a deep breath before answering.

”It's a long story.” Cora had a sad smile on her pretty face.

”Do tell. As you can see, I'm not very busy today.” Our bored gamer grinned and led his prospective lover to sit down with their backs against the cold walls.

Cora obliged and began to tell her story. It turned out that she belonged to a rich family.

She ran more than a thousand fast food restaurant chains in her home world before her incarceration.

Unfortunately, a thief from the main family scammed trillions of Alliance Credits from a lot of people.

To avoid shame, the old leaders of the family decided to pass the crime and blame to a faraway relative. Thus, Cora was the unlucky winner of the draw.

She was the most fitting candidate since she was the most successful above all.

Cora would have tried to fight this legal battle in court but alas, the main family resorted to kidnapping Cora's parents and siblings.

This was the reason why she pleaded guilty to all charges at once. It was really sad to be the subject of such a tragedy. Cora ended telling her tale with a somber expression on her face.

The victims of the scam wanted their money back but all Cora could say to them was, ”I'm sorry”.

Her assets had been frozen and confiscated by the government but that was not enough to pay them all.

It was a mere drop in an ocean of trillions of debt that was blamed upon her innocent soul.

Perhaps the only silver lining in this drama was knowing that Cora's family was safe and unharmed after she confessed to the crimes that she did not commit.

For Cora, this was more than enough consolation.

”Ahhh... You have been dealt a bad hand in life.” Clark shook his head at the injustice of the system.

Power corrupts the souls of men and women alike and he knew this more than anybody else in the room.

”Yes but this truth doesn't matter anymore.”

”I already accepted my fate.” Cora whispered and there was a long silence that followed between them.
