Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 426 Return

Chapter 426: Return

Ryder had finally managed to kill one of the Kings. He didn't know that there were twelve more kings like him still alive, not even counting Aluren, who was the true peak monster.
Ryder landed on the ground and gazed at Ray, who held the gun in his hand.
"Handerson, did you really decide to join the good side?" Ray asked Handerson as he sat down on the bed. He had already seen that there was only one gun in the bullet, so he couldn't even use it to threaten Ryder.
He could only sit back patiently as he tried to get his answer.
"The good side where you throw your friend and his family under the bus for your family?" Ryder asked, frowning as he walked closer to Ray.
Ray understood where Ryder was pointing at. He had basically betrayed Ryder. He still didn't know that Handerson was actually Ryder.
"Wouldn't you have done the same?" Ray asked as he gazed into Ryder's eyes.
"Without hesitation," Ryder answered.
"Then am I really wrong?" Ray inquired.
"As a person, you aren't wrong. But for me, you are," Ryder muttered as he reached out his hand.
"Return my gun," he said.
"Hmm? Aren't you going to use me as bait?" Ray asked, seemingly confused.
He had thought that he would be blamed for all the murders.
He had a gun in his hand, which was what killed both the men. There was his fingerprint on the gun.
Handerson could easily claim that Ray took the gun from Mark and shot two people. As the gun only had two bullets, he wasn't able to kill Handerson.
With that excuse, all the blame would be on Ray. There were no cameras in this room to prove his innocence either.
"Shut up and give me the gun," Ryder let out, almost scolding Ray.
Ray extended his hand, returning the gun to Ryder.
Ryder brought a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped the gun, effectively wiping all fingerprints before holding the gun in his hand.
Ray's fingerprints were wiped clearly, leaving only Ryder's fingerprint.
As Ryder's body was a carbon copy of Handerson, his fingerprints were also of Handerson.
So he didn't need to worry about fingerprints.
"Now listen carefully. You were knocked unconscious by Mark while interrogating. You'll be woken up by the guards outside. Just tell them you don't know how two people died," Ryder explained to Ray.
"They'll find this gun with my fingerprints, proving that I killed the two and left. You'll be innocent," he continued.
Ray looked at Ryder blankly, understanding what he was trying to say. He was going to take all the blame for himself. Why? He couldn't understand.
"One more thing," Ryder suddenly said.
"Don't ever try to contact Master Ryder. All your relationship with him is over. You two are strangers now. If you ever tried to keep an eye on him or contact him, you'll be killed without a doubt. Not only you, but I'll kill your sister as well. The same sister for whom you exposed him. So keep your distance," He continued as he smacked Ray's head with the back of his gun, making him lose consciousness.
Ray's eyes closed as he dropped to the bed, without consciousness.
Ryder watched the unconscious Ray as he shook his head. There was no one left in the room but two dead bodies and an unconscious guy.
He gazed at the gun in his hand and threw it near the old man's body before he walked over to the other gun that he had previously thrown at the ground. He picked up the gun and kept it in his inventory before he started walking towards the door.
He opened the door a little before he stepped out. He closed the doors again.
"He is interrogating inside. Make sure no one disturbs him. Oh right, he does have a meeting in half an hour. Remind him when it's the time. Keep an eye on the watch and inform him exactly in half an hour. I don't want him to be late," Ryder commanded the guards before he started walking away.
Stepping inside the lift, he pressed the button of the ground floor.
It was the same lift where he was in the morning. He couldn't help but remember the events that had taken place in the morning. He was still feeling embarrassed. He couldn't wait to come back to his real body.
Ting!
The lift opened on the ground floor.
Ryder stepped out of the lift and left the place under the watchful eyes of the camera that captured him leaving the place.
Ryder walked over to Handerson's Car and unlocked it before he sat inside.
He brought the car out of the parking and got it on the road, zooming it straight towards a distant location.
After traveling for half an hour, he brought the car to a cliff. He stopped the car at the edge of the cliff.
Opening the door, he confidently stepped out.
He walked behind the car. Placing his hand on the back of the car, he started pushing it.
The car slowly moved forward until it couldn't control itself and fell down the cliff.
There ends this chapter of my life.
" This mission was pretty good. Not only do I have the strength to face the enemies, but I also have five hundred Origin points. Finally, I can see the good days when I'm not lacking in origin points," Ryder muttered as he grinned.
"Should I use them to buy something for me or save them for emergencies?" He wondered as he returned back to his original face and body. He had already changed his clothes inside the car.
"I'll see where I can spend them," he muttered as he decided to leave the decision to the future.
He walked for a long time before he managed to get back on the road.
He took a lift after reaching far away from the cliff.
He was dropped off near a mall from where he again started walking.
He walked for a few kilometers before he finally decided to book a cab.
He had already turned off Handerson's phone and kept it in his inventory. He brought his real phone out.
His phone was already switched off, which he turned on.
As soon as he turned on the phone, he was bombarded with the notifications of Alice's call.
"She called me so many times? Did something happen?" Ryder wondered as he called back.
Alice was walking back and forth in tension when her phone started ringing.
She ran to the bed where her phone was lying.
Seeing Ryder's number, she immediately picked up the call.
"Where are you? Are you fine?" She asked in concern.
"Hmm?" Ryder was stunned to hear her concerned tone. She seemed concerned about him. How did she know he was doing something dangerous.
"What do you mean? I was in a meeting, not on a mission to wipe terrorists, dumbo. Why would I not be fine?" Ryder laughed as he tried to play off her concern lightly.
"I-it is just that I was having a bad feeling. I don't know why," Alice muttered as she breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you free now? When are you finishing your work? When will you come back?"
"Hahaha, so that's what it was. You just wanted me to come back fast. Don't worry, little girl. I am finished with work. Now I only have free time. I'll come back now. We can spend the rest of the vacation enjoying ourselves," Ryder answered as he started laughing.
"Now, let me disconnect the call. Only then can I come back faster," he continued.
He needed to book a cab which he couldn't do while he was still on the call.
"Alright. Come fast," Alice said as she nodded her head. She disconnected the call from her side before she placed the phone on the bed.
She could finally relax herself.
Ryder finally booked a cab and started waiting for it.
Far away from Ryder, Shu's Mansion was going through a commotion.
Someone had broken inside the Mansion.
It was the right-hand man of Adrian who couldn't wait to meet Alice. He was getting too eager to finish his mission faster, so he decided to check the mansion himself to see if the guards were actually telling the truth about Alice being out or were they lying to him.
The man broke inside the mansion without being caught and started checking each of the rooms.
There was no one except the servants inside the Mansion.
Ryder and Alice were actually out. As for Shu and his men, they were also not here.
The man couldn't find anyone, but he still didn't give up. He decided to get the answers as to where Alice had gone.
He entered the room of the one who seemed like the Servant with the most authority in the mansion.
