Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 23

"Oh man, Was she someone with a high position? Janus, you bastard! I praised you for nothing! 5 origin points for taking care of the girl and the trouble that follows after! You're too Cheap!' He cursed in his mind.
"Thanks, bro! I don't know what I would have done without you. That girl… I wouldn't be able to say no, but you helped me. From now on, I can be your little brother." Shu said in an emotional tone.
" No, thanks." Ryder immediately replied without even taking a moment to think.
'Just why is this guy so emotional? Little brother? Like hell, I'll call you little brother,' Ryder thought in his mind with a weird look on his face.
"Hey, boy! Do you want to purchase it or not?" Shu was about to say something when a voice came from the front.
"Oh, right... it's your number. Go fast." Ryder told Shu, who looked like he was shocked at suddenly being called out.
"Right." He turned back and walked closer to the storekeeper. He gave the money to the seller.
"Here you go." The shopkeeper gave the VR glasses set to Shu after he paid for them.
"Thank you, sir." Shu thanked them before leaving.
It was finally Ryder's turn after hours of waiting. He stepped forward and asked for a Divinity Set.
He paid for the VR glasses, which cost him around 200 credits. If these were to be compared to the older currency that was used in the old times, 200 credits would be worth 2000 dollars.
The shopkeeper gave him the box of VR glasses, and he left as well.
"Big brother Ryder! Where do you live?" Shu came towards him as he asked with an excited smile on his face.

Ryder was getting quite annoyed, but he didn't straight away express it.
"Why do you care? You know we have just met, right?" He straight away asked him.
'I'm not going to tell a stranger my address.' He continued.
"Of course, I would care. You're my Elder brother, after all. I was wondering if your home was nearby. If that's the case, then both of us could go there and log in to divinity together. If your home is far, then both of us can go to my home and log in together." Shu said with a wide smile on his face.
"Why do I need to log in together with you? Anyways, I'm not even sure if I'll play Divinity." He lied to Shu.
'This dude, why isn't he leaving me alone?' He thought as he tried to think of ways to leave without looking like a prick.
"What? Why not? You purchased it after so much effort, and you're saying that you won't play?" Shu looked like Ryder's reply deeply hurt him.
'This guy... he is too over the top.' Ryder was starting to have a headache by now.
He wanted to leave as fast as he could... before the trouble arrives.
"I'm sorry, but I'm leaving. I have some important things to do." He told Shu as he turned back to leave, but before he could even take a step, a voice came from behind.
"He's the man!" That sharp pitched voice said.
A frown appeared on Ryder's face as he recognized the voice.
"This voice... It looks like the trouble came looking for me." he let out softly as he looked back. Just as he thought, it was the same girl who threatened him of the consequences.

A bulky man was walking with the girl as he held her hand. The man was over 7 feet tall and had his other hand in his pocket. The man looked quite angry as he walked.
"Wait a minute? Aren't I strong? Is there really a need for me to be scared? If that man wants to offend me, it'll be his funeral. " Ryder suddenly realized that he actually didn't need to be scared. He had a lot of strength after he consumed the strengthening pill.
"As long as that man isn't a monster, I can easily defeat him." A smirk appeared on his face as he gazed at the man coming towards him. He was confident in his strength and felt like he didn't need to be scared of a normal human, but he was still alert.
'I should first know his real identity. ' He thought.
He stood in his original position calmly as he waited for the man to approach him.
"Brother, looks like they are coming to us. Are they going to beat us up? Should I call my backup?" Shu whispered in Ryder's ears abruptly.
" Backup? Do you even have a backup? Anyways, they're coming for me. You can leave safely." Ryder replied to Shu.
" How can I leave my brother in the times of need? Who will take you to the hospital after you're badly beaten up by that guy if I leave?" Shu said with a concerned look on his face.
Ryder's face couldn't help but twitch as he heard Shu's words.
'Geez, this guy is already planning to take me to the hospital. Thanks for such a confidence boost.' He thought with a wry smile on his face but didn't say anything.
"Are you the man who misbehaved with my girlfriend? " The 7 ft. tall man stopped in front of Ryder and asked in a serious tone as he glared at him.
Ryder could feel his glare, but he wasn't about to be defeated by a simple glare. He glared back at the man.
"I didn't do shi* to your girlfriend. Ask your girlfriend what actually happened. She was trying to enter the line out of nowhere; I just told her to stand at the back of the line. There was nothing more than that." He tried explaining to the man.
'Maybe it was all a misunderstanding, and he would leave. It would be better for both of us. I don't want to do anything unnecessary at the moment.' Although the chances of it happening were really low, he hoped for the man to leave without fighting.
The man gazed towards the girl with a doubtful look on his face.
"I'm telling the truth, baby! He did everything I told you about! Including slapping my ass. I still feel the pain." The girl said with a hurt expression on her face as she rubbed her ass.
The man looked at the girl and observed her for a brief second before he shifted his gaze back to Ryder.
