Chapter 176: Hades is a cheater?

The flight took off and soon landed on its destination.
Ryder left the plane. He walked out of the airport and got a cab to drive him home.
Ray and the others left the airport together and got in the car that was waiting outside for them.
The SUV started driving them towards the hotel they were arranged to stay in.
Ray brought out a phone and called someone.
"I need you to find the details about the man that was sitting beside me on the plane. Get me everything about that man from his birth to the current day."
Ray commanded someone before he disconnected the call.
"Are you also suspicious of that person?" Riya asked Ray as she heard his call.
Ray didn't react to her and didn't say what he was actually thinking.
The cab dropped Ryder off at his house. He paid for the trip and walked back to his home.
The door was closed, but he had taken the spare key. He opened the door and entered the house.
The house was completely empty.
He brought his phone out of his pocket and called Alice.
"Hey, I'm back home,"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Wait, why do you sound worried?"
"Calm down; I was far away from the blast location. Washington is pretty big, you know,"
"No, As I said, I'm perfectly fine. Should I come to take you back, or is your friend going to drop you here?"
"She will? Alright. I'll order some food in the meantime."
Ryder disconnected the call and ordered some food before he walked back to his room and started resting on his bed.
He was glad to finally get some signals after getting back to the city, but he was still confused about why he wasn't getting signals when he was in Washington. This shouldn't be the case. He called the network company to register a complaint regarding it.
The Customer Care guy apologized to Ryder for the inconvenience that he faced before he registered his complaint. He also assured Ryder that they would inform Ryder when they find the problem.
Ryder disconnected the call and walked to the hall and turned on the TV to see if the news about the Washington Blast was airing or if the government hid them. It was quite a Chaotic situation, after all.
As he watched the tv, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"So they didn't try to cover up the news, but they did decide to lie. Not a bad strategy. It's not a full-on lie either. Those people were the enemy of the country after all," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
While he was watching the news, he noticed a headline flash for a brief second before it was changed with another headline.
The headline that Ryder noticed talked something about Hades and the Necrosis Corporation. He didn't have time to read much else.
" What the heck is that about me? Did something happen?" Ryder muttered as he opened his phone and searched 'Hades Divinity' on the internet.
There were many articles about him on the net, but the one on top was what attracted Ryder's attention as its headline was something that made Ryder furious.
"Hades, the number one player of Divinity or the biggest cheater?"
He found the headline to be less of a question and more of an insult.
He tapped on the headline to read the content of the article.
"Those who play the World's first and massively popular Fully Immersive Virtual Reality Game, Divinity, must already know the name of Hades. The mysterious player that was the first one to pass the Novice Village, Hades, was already considered a top player, but his recent achievements have created doubts in the mind of the users..."
"... Hades jumped from level 47 to level 57 in a single day..."
"... the other players doubt that he is cheating and that Necrosis Corporation is letting him cheat because of his special identity..."
"... some claim that he's the son of a big politician while others claim that he's the son of a Military General, There are also some claims that Hades is the son of one of the big shots of Necrosis Corporation..."
"... The allegations of cheating are very serious this time. Allegedly, Necrosis Corporation has received Millions of email asking them to ban Hades from cheating..."
"... We tried to get the response of the Necrosis Corporation, but so far, no one had replied to us. What do you guys think about the whole thing? Is this true that Hades is cheating? Or is this an unlikely misunderstanding? Tell us your opinions in the comments."
Ryder finished reading the article.
"Those stupid, idiotic bastards. There's no cheating involved. Go keep crying," Ryder muttered as he shook his head at the stupidity.
He knew that there was no way for Necrosis Corporation to ban him for such a stupid reason like an accusation, and he was even more sure that they wouldn't find anything that proves that he ever cheated. He realized that they would probably wait for a little before claiming that his level up was because of a Special Quest that he had received at the start of the game.
He continued reading more articles to see if he missed anything, but he didn't find anything new. He placed the phone down and continued watching the news.
He was watching the news when he heard the doorbell ring.
He stood up and walked to the door.
The pizza delivery guy was standing outside with Ryder's order.
"Thank you," Ryder thanked the delivery guy as he took his order.
He had already paid in advance, including the tip for the delivery guy.
Ryder walked back to his room and closed the door.
He had only taken a few steps when he heard the doorbell ring again.
He turned back and opened the door once more.
Alice was standing at the door this time.
"You came at the right time. The pizza just came. Anyway, Why is your friend standing back there? She didn't come into the house last time either. Didn't you tell her that I won't eat her?" Ryder asked as he glanced back towards Estonia that was standing near her car.
"She's just shy meeting strangers. She is waiting for me to get inside, I think," Alice replied.
"Call her inside. She helped you so much. The least I can do is share some pizza. I ordered three of them. They would just go to waste," Ryder told her.
Alice chuckled as she shook her head.
"It's tough, but it's possible if we add pizza to the mix. She loves them. Let me try convincing her."
Alice walked back towards Estonia.
Ryder could see her talking to Estonia. After some back and forth, he saw them walking towards him.
