Chapter 384: Mystery Box

"I'll even do that on my own one day. I do, however, hate that you are trying to be the one doing it. I can't let you do it. I don't want us to be in an all-out war yet. At Least not openly. It's not the time. Tell me what you want. I'll get it done. But you can't roam freely in this country anymore," Aluren said as his deep eyes looked at Adrian.
"Why should I care what you say? You're right. I don't like the restriction on me. I just want to talk to that president of yours. I won't cause any war. Anyways, even if I do, what's the worse that will happen. I'll wipe the ones leading the war before they can even declare it. In any case, you can't stop me," Adrian said, not caring in the least as he turned his back on Aluren.
"Our fathers distributed the land to us. You're supposed to stay in Russia. This is my land. If you didn't listen, I would beat the hell out of you first before I drag you to your father for breaking the rules set by them. The others might enjoy this spectacle since it's not happening in their lands, but I won't let out happen here. Listen to me and go back!" Aluren insisted, getting impatient.
"I can't go back before I get what I want," Adrian said, shaking his head.
"Sigh, I'm telling you. You'll get what you want. Just tell me what you want. I'll send my men to get that for you," Aluren let out, not backing off.
Both of them seemed as if they were ready to kill the other person at the slightest discord.
Ryder slept most of the day, only waking up in the late afternoon because of a call.
"Yeah, Herriet. What's up?" Ryder asked, picking up the call.
"The Board has approved the signing. You can come in an hour. We will sign the papers." Herriet answered him.
Ryder sat up straight, wondering how he could have forgotten it. "Oh right. I'm on my way."
He disconnected the call before he entered the washroom to take a shower.
Hurriedly getting ready, he left the Estate, straight towards the ACL office.
He entered the office and signed the papers, becoming the owner of ACL.
After signing the deal, he transferred Four Hundred Million dollars.
Handling everything, he left with Herriet for a drink. He had a drink with Herriet, followed by a nice conversation before he dropped her back at the office.
" Hey, Esmi. Yeah, you guys don't have to worry about anything anymore. You guys can end your house arrest. It's safe outside," Ryder informed Esmi as he drove back.
Esmi heard Ryder but didn't outright believe him. "How can you say that? We still don't know who Mark had called and who was behind it."
"I took care of it. The guy who was behind it confessed himself after a little intimation. He is dead. Anyway, according to him, someone paid him fifty million dollars to kill Bastion. That person was someone addressed as the Sixth King. That's all I know. Even though the person who gave the contract isn't dead, there are no assassins after Bastion at the moment. I'm sure the Sixth King will be more wary now as well," Ryder replied.
"Sixth King?" Esmi muttered.
"Why, does that name ring a bell? You know who he is?" Ryder asked, thinking that Esmi probably knew who he was.
"I don't know. I'm just confused why a king would pay so much for Bastion's death. I'll try to find more about him," Esmi replied.
After a little more talk on a lighter note, Ryder disconnected the call.
He went back home when it was evening.
Ryder sat on the bed.

The system notification started sounding in his head one after another.
"You're slow like always. It's the second time. I've noticed it. Whenever the reward contains a mystery box, you always announce it late. Anyway, what use is the Mystery Box anyway since you'll ask me to go on another mission for the key," Ryder muttered, sighing.
[The Mystery Box is unlocked. No key needed]
"Really?" Ryder exclaimed in surprise.
"For once in your life, you did something caring for me. Thank you," he continued as he opened his inventory and brought the Mystery Box outside.
The box was very big this time. It was as fall as Ryder, and it was two meters wide.
"Don't tell me there's a humanoid robot inside. That would be cool, though, but a disaster to explain," Ryder muttered as he looked at the box.
He walked to the bathroom and turned on the tap, letting the water fall.
He used that water and his Ruler of water ability to form a water knife before turning the tap off and went back to the box.
He cut the cardboard box open.
As soon as he saw what was inside, his expressions turned weird.
"Are you trolling me like last time? The first time you did the same. A box inside a box inside a box. Let me guess, there will be another box inside before I find the real item," Ryder let out with an annoyed look on his face as he saw the second box that was half the size of the cardboard box.
This time, it was a wooden box, though.
Taking off the lid of the wooden box, Ryder looked inside only to find another box that was half the size of this wooden box.
"Called it," Ryder let out sarcastically as he looked at the metallic box.
He opened the kid of the metallic box, hoping to finally find the real item inside.
As soon as the box opened, Ryder facepalmed himself. He was wrong. This wasn't the end. There was another box inside. It was a non-transparent glass box this time.
"I swear to god, if I find another box inside, I'll be cursing you for hours! It's beyond irritating!" Ryder let out, angrily.
He opened the glass box, finding the item inside.
"This... What is this?" Ryder let out as his expressions distorted.
He reached out his hand and pulled out something.
"What the fuck! A bunny costume of my size? There is no way in hell I'm wearing this. Don't tell me there's a hidden use of it. What is it even if not a crappy costume?" Ryder cursed, watching a bunny costume inside that had bunny ears too.
