Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 362 Plan

Chapter 362: Plan

Opening the briefcase, Ryder could see a file inside it that had CONFIDENTIAL written on the front page in bold letters.
Closing the briefcase, he placed it near him.
The Waiter came with the food they ordered and placed them on the table.
" So, what's your plan after this?" Ryder asked Keia as he took a bite of the pizza he ordered for himself.
" You should decide that. You'll be giving me a trip to your city, after all. You should know the next plan," Keia said as she chuckled.
"Taking you out in the city? I am a little busy today. Can we do it some other day?" Ryder asked Keia as he frowned. He realized that he wasn't free at all.
He still needed to kill the Police Chief. He also needed to find the person that was targeting the Bastion. He also had to go to the Ancient Cultivation Clan to finish his Quest.
Then he also needed to check the location of the Twelfth and the Thirteenth King to see if they reached a suspicious location or not.
In the last seven days, they were moving all throughout the country, not staying in one place for more than an hour. He was sure that none of the places they stayed at was their base. He still waited for something concrete to give to Ray.
He had told Ray that he would give him the address within two days, and it was the seventh day.
Ray was also inside the city with his team, still investigating the origin of the blast that occurred in the sky seven days ago.
He had been dodging Ray all this while since he didn't have any answer to give to him.
That wasn't all, as he also needed to meet the lawyer whom he had tasted to create a contract for purchasing ACL.
It would have been fine but he also has another major problem. He barely had a hundred million dollars, whereas the price of buying ACL was four hundred million dollars. He still needed to arrange the money.
He could take the help of Shu to get the money, but he didn't want to involve Shu in his business since he didn't want people to think that he was successful because of Dream Corporation's help.
He needed to collect close to four hundred million dollars so he could not only have money to buy ACL but also enough cash to cover the operating cost of his Divine Corporation, which had just started.
"Come on; you can be busy. I'll just tag along. I won't do anything to disturb you. I came so far away from you. Can't you let me stay with you for a few hours?" Keia asked with a pleading look on her face.
" Fine. You can tag along for a while. Come, finish eating, then I'll show you the place I was planning to visit today," Ryder said, immediately modifying his plan to include Keia.
He couldn't kill the Police Chief with Keia. He couldn't even go to the Ancient Cultivation Clan with her, but he could do something about money while keeping Kris closer.
"Yesh! I knew I could convince you!" Keia said as she started laughing.
Watching Keia laugh, Ryder also felt better. He didn't know why but he liked watching Keia laugh. Her peal of laughter sounded like a beautiful melody in his ears.
He gazed at her as she laughed.
" Why are you looking at me like that?" Keia inquired as she stopped laughing after seeing Ryder looking at her.
"You look really pretty when you laugh," Ryder complimented, stunning Keia.
Even Saelyn, who was sitting like a puppet all this while, started coughing as if he had choked on water.
With an embarrassed smile, Ryder stood up as he remembered that Saele was still here.
"You're done, right? I'll pay the bill at the counter. The Whirlwind parked outside is mine. You two can wait there for me," he said as he picked up the briefcase and started walking towards the counter to pay the bill without waiting for the waiter to come with the bill.
After paying the bill, he looked back to see if the others were still there or not. Finding the seats empty, he left the Restaurant.
He could see Saelyn and Keia sitting closer to the Whirlwind.
"It's a two-seater, so the two of you can't sit inside with me. I'll go in the lead while you two can follow me in your car," He told Keia before he unlocked the car.
" You come in the SUV; I'm going with Ryder," Keia said as she walked over to the passenger side of Whirlwind and entered the car.
Saelyn glanced at Ryder briefly before he turned back and left in the direction of the Black SUV. He entered the car with two people.
Opening the door, Ryder sat inside the Whirlwind.
"Little Thief, aren't you afraid of sitting inside the car with me?" Ryder asked Keia as he started the engine of the car.
"Hah, why would I be scared?" Keia asked Ryder in confusion.
" I won our competition of stealing the weapons in your mansion. So I'm a better thief than you. Shouldn't you be worried that I'll steal something?" Ryder asked as he chuckled. A Ferrari Whirlwind started racing through the city while a black SUV followed behind.
"Hah, I don't have any money. You can't steal anything," Keia answered with a cheeky smile on her face.
"There are more important things that I could steal," Ryder replied without taking his eyes off of the road. "For example, I can even steal you. The people chasing us in the Black SUV won't be able to find us. It's too easy to take you away right now."
"You might think you can, but you underestimate Saelyn. It's impossible to trick him. The most I was able to stay out of his sight was fifty minutes. He always finds me," Keia answered Ryder, shaking his head.
"Hah, I have things that even the gods can't find without my permission, let alone your people. It's too much work, though. If I weren't busy today, I would've shown you. The next time you come, I'll take you away for the entire day, breaking your record," Ryder said as he laughed, shaking his head.
"We're there already, anyway," Ryder said, stopping his car in front of a giant building.
"This place? You want to do this?" Keia asked with a confused look on her face.
"Are you sure?" She asked Ryder.
"Why wouldn't I?" Ryder asked with an amused smile on his face as he stepped out.
