After hearing Divine's words about his incompetence as a leader and master, Corey pondered on his words.
He knew that what Divine said was true. He had not tutored or nurtured Selene
or Kiefer in any way possible.
Especially Kiefer who has an extrely high talent. He had personally recruited Kiefer because of his status as a Blessed and his unique body, soul, and talent.
However, despite all of this, he had ignored them and focused wholly on himself.
If he wanted, he could have made excuses and gave reasons as to why he did all of this. However, he chose not to, because he knew they were just excuses and lies he would be telling himself.
He had ignored them because he had never felt like he needed them for anything.
Even in the Shattered Dinsion of the Old Ones, Selene died and he barely mourned for her death. He never even spoke to her about her death or apologized for not being able to protect her as her master because he did not truly care.
With his knowledge, talent, and abilities, he was certain that he could nurture and teach Selene and Kiefer to reach greater heights, but he chose not to because he didn't care.
'Even if I don't truly care about having them as servants, especially Selene, I should take responsibility for my actions.'
'If they were to truly die, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth and I don't think I want sobody under to die. It would make to seem incapable.' Corey made a resolve to pay more attention to Kiefer and Selene in the future, however, he also knew that the chances of that happening in the Underworld was low because of their plan to leave the Underworld.
Corey looked at Divine, and then he communicated with him by using Breath of Omniscience. This allowed him to communicate directly into Divine's mind, and Divine was stunned when he heard Corey's voice in his mind.
"By the way, what is your plan on trying to find out the traitor? Do I need to know?"
Divine glanced at Corey with a surprised light in his eyes, and then he shook his head.
'I guess he bought a telepathic skill. But skills like that are expensive because of their usefulness. I wonder which telepathic skill he bought.'
Divine thought with a slightly curious expression, and then he also communicated with Corey telepathically.
"If I tell you, you might not react properly and your behavior might alert the traitor."
Corey raised his brows slightly, "I think I'll still react the sa even if you told . I barely react to anything."
"True, but I can't take any chances."
Divine smiled slightly, and Corey shrugged nonchalantly and spoke out loud.
"Alright. Whatever you say."
Divine nodded, and then they entered the eting room of the Neon Headquarters.
Just as Divine was about to open the door, he paused and looked at Corey.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Kiefer and Selene are not here. They're in the training room. I sent them there to train and improve themselves because they're still so weak."
Corey raised his brows slightly, but he didn't think too much and he just shrugged.
Divine turned back towards the door, and then he opened the door.
The mont he opened the door, Corey saw every mber of the group.
Rosa, Triple X, Dave, lissa, and Fatty Black Bonez. They were all seated on a gold plated rectangular table.
Corey glanced at each of them, and they also looked back at him.
"Yo, Smile Reaper."
Fatty Black Bonez greeted with a smile and wave. He gestured to the empty seat beside him, and Corey gave a small smile and sat beside him. Divine walked to the head of the table, and then he sat with a slightly solemn expression.
"Yo Cap, what's up. Why did you call for a sudden eting and why the solemn face."
Fatty Black Boncz asked with a curious and confused expression, and Rosa, Triple X, Dave, and lissa also looked at Divine with the sa expression.
Divine looked at every one of them, and then he leaned into his chair while tapping the table.
"Because I recently realized sothing."
Divine paused, and the atmosphere beca tense. Corey's expression was indifferent as he also looked at Divine.
'Is he going to talk about the traitor? Now?"
The mont Corey had this thought, Divine spoke.
"We need to decide on a na for the group."
Corey's lips twitched.
"..." Everybody.
Everybody had the sa expression Corey had.
Disbelief.
"So, the reason why you had a serious expression and made the atmosphere tense was because we had to decide on the na for the group?" Rosa looked at Divine with eyes that threatened to kill him, and a cold sweat
appeared on his forehead.
He coughed.
"It's actually very important. You know that every other group, even groups that are not as talented as us have a group na. We don't. Everybody just refers us to Divine's group, and yeah, it's nice. But I don't like it. I want
sothing that stands out."
Everybody had thoughtful expressions after hearing Divine's words, but Rosa scoffed while rolling her eyes.
"We tried forming a na for the group, but I'm very sure you can rember how that turned out. We couldn't co to an agreent and we even argued
intensely over it."
Divine nodded in agreent, "That's true. So, I ca up with a solution."
Divine looked at Corey, and Corey raised his brows in confusion.
"Why don't we allow the newbie to decide on a na for us?"
Everybody looked at Corey and then at Divine in disbelief and various other
emotions.
"You're kidding right?"
Fatty Black Bonez exclaid in disbelief, and even Corey agreed with him. He
was confused as to what the hell was going on.
"You want the newest mber of the group to decide on our na? I think
that's insensitive of you as our Captain."
Dave spoke out for the first ti since the eting began, and Corey glanced
at him. Although he was surprised that Dave spoke since he rarely spoke, he agreed with his words nonetheless.
He was a newbie and giving him the authority to decide on a na for the
group was not really right.
"We'll make a vote afterwards, and if majority of us doesn't like it, we'll change it. But if majority of us are okay with it, then that'll be our group na." Divine looked at everybody, and when he saw that nobody was complaining, he nodded in satisfaction and looked at Corey.
"So, Smile Reaper. Can you please co up with a na for us?"
Corey's lips twitched. He looked at Divine and tried to figure out if this was
part of Divine's plan to find out the traitor amongst them.
However, Corey noticed nothing from Divine's expression. He was just... Calm.
Corey's left eye twitched, and then he sighed. His mind ca up with nurous nas, and approximately seven seconds later, a na he liked ca
to his mind.
"The Breakers. Let's call ourselves that... The Breakers."
