Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 234 The Big Guns

Chapter 234: The Big Guns

"Stop talking and place your hands on your head. You just killed those innocent men by crashing your car in theirs. Everything else will be talked about in the prison! Arrest him!" The Police Chief told a cop to arrest Ryder.
The Cop started walking towards Ryder while other cops kept their guns on him.
Ryder glanced at Alice, who was standing in the back, looking at Ryder with concern. She wanted to run to Ryder, but Ryder raised his hand to stop her.
"Don't worry. Stay there. Nothing will happen to me," Ryder told Alice as he stopped her with gentle expressions on his face.
He glanced back at the Police Chief as his expressions became fierce again.
" Mr. Chief, you might think that you can get me this way, but you underestimate me... a lot. It looks like we'll have a lot of fun soon. You're going to regret targeting my family," Ryder let out, but he didn't release the man.
"Stop right there, or I'll crush his neck!" Ryder told the cop that was walking towards him to arrest him.
The cop stopped.
"You already committed a lot of crimes. Don't commit more unless you want to be charged with homicide! Release the man!" The Police Chief said as he warned Ryder.
" If any of you moved even an inch, I'll crush his neck. I'll release him after a few minutes. Just stay back like the good little puppy you are," Ryder said in a mocking tone. " I just want a call."
Ryder used his free hand to bring his phone out of his pocket as he called a number.
" Hey. I got in a little trouble again," Ryder said to someone on the call.
"Huh? What happened? Tell me," The person on the other side said.
" It's a serious matter. I'm surrounded by the police. I did nothing wrong, though. Anyway, I'll explain everything later. Come here fast. I can handle most of the things, but I need someone to protect Alice after I'm taken in," Ryder said to the person.
"I'll be right there," the person on the other side replied. "Give me the address."
Ryder disconnected the call and sent the location using his phone.
" It has been a few minutes! When are you freeing this man? Don't test our patience. We can even shoot you for domestic terrorism," The Police Chief threatened Ryder.
"You feel really powerful at the moment, don't you?" Ryder inquired in a mocking tone.
He was about to say something when he heard the sound of what seemed like a helicopter.
"The police helicopters are here too?" Ryder wondered as he heard the sound.
He looked towards the sky, but the helicopter was not a police helicopter.
It seemed like a private helicopter.
Ryder's phone started ringing.
Ryder kept looking at the helicopter as he picked up the call.
"Yes, Shu?" he inquired.
" Uh, brother Ryder. I am on my way, but since my house is far away, you know that it will take me around ten minutes, at least. Anyway, I called to let you know that more help will be there soon. Someone that works for our company was in that area. I told him to get there fast. Let him handle it until I get there," Shu told Ryder.
"Someone you sent? Is that person in the helicopter?" Ryder asked as he smiled wryly.
" Yeah, he was coming to my house, and he was in the way. I told him to go to your location first since he was near. Don't worry. I'll give you all the help I can," Shu said.
" Thanks, man. Let me treat you to a drink in the future. You're my real brother," Ryder smiled as he responded.
"Hahaha, was there any doubt about me being your brother? Anyway, let's talk about the drink after we deal with whatever trouble you got yourself in," Shu chuckled as he replied.
Ryder disconnected the call and placed the phone in his pocket as he looked at the helicopter.
Although the road was big enough for the helicopter to land, it didn't land. A rope ladder came down from the helicopter. It was long enough to cover the distance from the helicopter to the ground.
The cops were also looking at the helicopter in amazement.
"The Max203C... the best helicopter in existence and the most expensive... created by the Dream Corporation. Whoever is inside must be really wealthy and powerful," The Police Chief muttered as he stared at the helicopter.
A person started coming down through the rope. It seemed like a man dressed in military clothes.
The man landed on the ground. Another person started coming down from the helicopter and after that another.
Soon, there were five men standing on the ground. Three of them were dressed in the military attire, and two were dressed in black clothes and a bulletproof vest as if they were the personal guards or mercenaries working for someone really powerful.
One more person came out of the helicopter and climbed down.
The man was wearing a black coat and pants. He seemed to be dressed quite professionally.
The man seemed to be in his early thirties. He was wearing black sunglasses.
His short red hair moved in the wind coming from the wing of the helicopter as he climbed down the stairs.
"Those people... they don't look normal. Just who is Shu to be able to call people like them to help me. I thought he was just some rich third generation kid, but he seems to be something more. I should've performed a background check. I saw that helicopter. It's not something many people can afford, and he said the man flying in this is working for his family."
" There is definitely something. When I formed my friendship with him, I thought he was just a normal guy, but I found out he was rich and now this. Even after all this, he still cared for me as a brother. I knew that man was a real friend even though he was somewhat childish, but he is really nice. I wonder how I can pay him back for all the help," Ryder muttered as he looked at the men.
"Are you Ryder Flynn?" The man in the black Sunglasses asked Ryder.
"Yeah," Ryder responded as he nodded his head.
"We're here to help you. Just wait there and let us handle it," the man said to Ryder before he shifted his focus to the Police Chief.
"Look, Sir. I don't know who you are and what you want, but we're on duty. Don't interfere in our work," The Police Chief told the man.
" What happened here? Care to explain?" The man in black glasses asked the Police Chief for an explanation.
"I don't need to explain anything to you. I'm here to perform my duty, and I'm telling you not to interfere. You can read the report of what happened after going through the proper sources," The Police Chief replied without backing off. He maintained his stern stance even after realizing that these people were rich.
The man in black sunglasses didn't reply; instead, another person took the lead if it was a man who was dressed in a military outfit.
" Looking at your dress, you must be the Police Chief of this place. I'm Major General Andre from the United States Airforce," The man said.
"M-major General of the Air Force?" The Police Chief was taken aback as he heard that such a high ranking person was standing before him. He couldn't understand why someone like him would be here.
" I am Major General Dreyson from the United States Airforce."
Another man in the military outfit stepped forth.
"A-another one?"
The Police Chief stepped back a step as he felt his heart thump. Another Major General?
He looked towards the third person in the military outfit as a foreboding feeling shrouded him.
" I am Major General Gaira from the United States Airforce," The third person also stepped forth as he introduced himself.
'T-three Major Generals together? What the hell is going on?!' The Police Chief was shocked as he felt his heart beag fasten. If this matter reached the federals and the truth was exposed, then he was going to be in big trouble. He couldn't help but wonder since when it becomes so easy to get powerful people like them together. Wasn't this guy just a normal man that lived in a small house? How was it possible that three Air Force Major Generals came to help him?
'Three Major Generals? I was hoping Shu will be able to protect my sister in my absence, but this... How does he have so much power to call them here?' Ryder thought in shock
While the Police Chief was shocked that Ryder was able to call these people, Ryder himself was surprised that he was able to call these people.
"I know it's not our jurisdiction, but we can't sit back and watch when injustice happens before us. We heard that you're arresting the wrong person. Explain the situation so that we can understand the whole thing," Major General Gaira told the Police Chief in a dignified voice
