Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 135 Altered Destiny

Chapter 135: Altered Destiny

"You think I don't know that you would've killed both the girls? One to finish the mission and one to finish the witness?" Ryder muttered as he looked at the man.
He placed the man's body and his knife in his Storage Space.
'It's so weird that my inventory has two dead bodies. I don't even know how I'm alright with it, but it doesn't seem to affect me much anymore. Just what is happening? And what was that scene that had appeared before my eyes? It was the same feeling as the last time in the Demon Realm,' Ryder thought as he left that place and walked towards Alice.
He stayed 50 meters away from her as he pretended to be on the phone.
Alice got off of the ride with her friend and continued walking away.
"Where do you want to go next?" Alice asked her friend without any care in the world.
Her friend brought her phone out and started searching.
"The Ferris wheel is pretty popular. Let's go there."
"Alright," Alice nodded her head.
They turned back towards Ryder and started walking in his direction.
Ryder stood near a tree, still pretending to be on a call. He again started following after them as they left.
They reached the Ferris Wheel and entered the cabin. Ryder entered the immediate next cabin to them.
Now that he was there, he could relax for 3 hours. There was no chance that he would fail the mission for the next 3 hours as their cabins were nearby.
Ryder pulled out his phone from his pocket and started looking at the number of Jameson. He wondered if he should call him.
In the end, he decided to call him.
He was about to call the number, but before he could call him, his phone started ringing.
It was a private number that wasn't showing.
"Who could be it?" Ryder wondered as he picked up the phone. The private numbers were really difficult to get nowadays.
Before he could speak, the person on the other side started talking.
"When are you bringing the bodies?"
Ryder was visibly confused about the question.
He understood that it was a wrong number, but the question itself didn't give the right feeling.
"Why aren't you speaking? You know that he doesn't like any delay, right? Get the bodies here! You have 3 hours only!" the person said before the call was disconnected.
"That was creepy," Ryder muttered as he looked at his phone.
"Whatever, there's no need to jump into those matters unnecessarily."
He shook his head as he tried to relax his mind.
The phone once again started ringing. It was an unknown number, but at least the number was visible this time. He picked up the phone.
"Hello, am I speaking to Mr. Ryder?"
The person said from the other side. It sounded like a girl's voice.
"Yeah, who's this?" Ryder asked.
"Ahmm, I'm calling you to inform you that you have won the lottery. You won 10 million dollars. I would like you to come up to our office to get the money. We need you to do some paperwork," the girl informed him.
'Oh, right. I forgot about that. Even though the results would be announced to the public later, they announce it to the winner before that. They must've received my information from the details I submitted while registering the ticket on their site,' Ryder thought.
"Alright. Thanks, I'll come to your office on Tuesday as I have matters to attend tomorrow," Ryder replied.
"Oh, ok. I'll arrange that," the girl said before she disconnected the call.
On the other side of the call, a young girl was sitting in her office. She was the assistant of the owner of the organization that handled the lotteries. She was assigned the duty to call the winner and arrange everything.
"Geez, Such a stern guy. He won so much money, yet he didn't give any reaction. I would've been jumping up and down if I had won such money," the girl muttered as she shook her head.
If Ryder were here, then he would have recognized the girl as she was the same girl that he had saved when he killed the criminal to complete his first mission.
The girl worked in this office. In fact, it was only after that day; she got this job.
In the timeline when Ryder didn't have Janus, the girl didn't work here as she had died in that alley, but that Mission changed her life and altered her destiny. She was still alive and living a life better than she ever lived before.
Ryder had no idea how things changed because of him. It was not the only thing that changed either. There were many things that changed—some for good and some for the bad.
"I can finish the next mission tomorrow and then get the money on Tuesday before getting back to the more important stuff. I already feel tired just thinking about it. I need a long vacation," Ryder smiled wryly as he shook his head.
He again dialed the number. Fortunately, this time no call disturbed him.
He called Jameson's number that he had received.
"Hello? Who's this?'
"Ah, sorry to disturb you. I'm speaking from Betaphone networks. As you may already know, your e-sim is registered on our network," Ryder said to the man.
He had already looked up which network that sim belonged to. It turned out that it was a number from betaphone networks, one on the big names in the country.
"Yeah, I know that. What do you need?" the man asked.
"Ah, Sir. From what I can see, you're not in the city you registered your sim in. Am I right?" Ryder asked.
"Yeah, I've come to the Valis City for business. What about that?"
"The thing is that we wanted to know when you would be returning to the city you registered that sim in. We're doing some upgrade to our system and activating some additional features for your sim. But it can only be done when the sim is in the city it was registered in. If you could give me the date, I can input that to my system so that it would happen on the day you return," Ryder told the man.
"Oh, I would return on Wednesday morning. You can put that date on your system," the man replied.
"Alright. Thank you for your time, sir. Have a great day."
Ryder disconnected the phone.
"Wednesday... It looks like that's the day we'll meet," Ryder muttered as he glanced out the window.
