After around 10 minutes, a man came downstairs and stopped before the old man.

He looked towards Ryder with confusion as he didn't recognize him.

"Why are you standing there like that? He's here to talk about a job; go greet him," the Old man said to Aleson.

"Ah, H-hello Sir," Aleson said, but he stuttered as he was nervous.

'Just like I had heard, his lack of university scores and his shy personality was the main reason for the world not to notice the upcoming genius,' Ryder thought as he smiled.

"Don't worry, Aleson. I'm here to offer you a job. I have a pharmaceutical and tech company, and I want to hire you to work with me on an idea that I think will revolutionize the world. As this is just the beginning, I can only pay you 10000$ but when our company's profit increases, your salary will increase as well. What do you say?" Ryder asked Aleson.

"I agree," Aleson responded immediately.

"Hmm? Don't you want to hear the idea first?" Ryder asked in surprise.

"There's no need for that. I need the money to take care of my family. No matter what the idea is, I'll give it my all to make it the reality," Aleson responded.

"Hahaha, that's fine. Let's go to your room. I'll show you the contract and tell you what I need you to work on," Ryder laughed as he stood up.

Aleson took Ryder to his room.

Aleson's room was mostly empty. There was nothing much in the room except a bed, a table, a computer, and a wardrobe.

Ryder took out the contract papers and gave them to Aleson.

"Read that carefully before signing. There are a few important things in there, like the fact that you will be the leader of our pharma team and about your salary and your future. I'll wait here while you go through it," Ryder said before he sat on the bed.

Aleson began reading the contract, and after reading it thoroughly, he signed it.

He gave the papers back to Ryder.

"Great, now hear my idea,"

"You know how many people in the world get cancer every year? Despite all this growth in our society, we haven't had a large breakthrough in this field. Let alone the treatment, even the testing hasn't been improved, but I want to change that," Ryder said to Aleson.

Aleson just looked at Ryder with curiosity on his face and a little bit of surprise.

"I want you to work on a piece of tech that can be used to find out cancer, its type, and its stage just from a blood drop. Something that everyone could use right in their homes without going to the hospital. Just imagine a world where everyone could test themselves,"

" A lot of cancer patients die because of not finding out about it in the initial stages, but I want to change that. I want a world where people can actively test themselves. I believe that this would decrease the deaths in our society as people won't have to wait for symptoms to show," Ryder explained.

"What?" Aleson had his mouth wide open in surprise. This was similar to a thought he had previously, but he didn't intend to explore that idea as he wasn't sure if it was possible.

"Don't worry. It's entirely possible, and I believe that you can do it. I have the initial idea on the principal this test would work on and a few other basic things about this, and I need you to work on what I know and dive deeper from there. I'll tell you more details about what I know; you can start working after a few weeks. I'll send you the office address and other details. Give me your number," Ryder said to Aleson.

He took Aleson's number before he left his room and went downstairs and left the house.

He got into his car and left the place.

"The start wasn't bad, I guess," Ryder muttered as he drove the car under the evening light.

As he drove through the city, he saw a lottery stop along the way.

"Wait a minute. How could I forget about that? Isn't tomorrow the date that happened?" Ryder muttered as he increased the speed and went to a different part of the city.

He remembered that there was a lottery worth millions of dollars. Even though he didn't remember what the winning numbers were, he did remember the shop the winner bought the ticket from. It was still in his mind as that was a massive thing at that time because the winner was from his area.

Ryder stopped the car in front of the lottery shop.

He got out of the car and entered the shop.

"I need all your lottery tickets," Ryder told the shop owner. He purchased every lottery ticket the owner had and left the place.

The lottery winner was supposed to be announced after three more days, but he was confident that the grand prize was already his now.

Ryder got back home right on time for dinner.

He walked straight to the dining room.

"You're back; how did your work go?" Alice asked Ryder as she served the dinner.

"It went great. Soon everything will fall into place," Ryder responded as a smile formed on his face.

He finished dinner and walked back to his room.

He rested on the bed and wore the Divinity Glasses. He found himself in the world of Divinity inside his bedroom in the Royal Palace.

Ryder got off the bed and left his room.

Miku was still standing outside his room.

"Do you always stay outside my room?" Ryder asked her.

"It's my responsibility to take care of Your Highness," Miku replied.

"Is Rale still in the practice hall?" Ryder asked her.

"No, Your Highness. Master Rale went outside to the town. He should be back soon," she replied.

"Alright. I'm going to Miyali's room. Inform me when he's back," Ryder told her before he started walking towards Miyali's room.

Soon he got there, he knocked on the door and entered the place.

Miyali was sitting in the bed.

"Miyali? Is it my misconception, or are your eyes a deeper shade of red now? Can I know what your species is?" Ryder asked in confusion as he saw her eyes.

Miyali looked worried as she looked at Ryder.

"Why are you worried? Don't worry. You won't be hurt because of your species," Ryder told her as he walked closer to her.

"I-i'm not a full demon. I'm a half-demon and half undead," Miyali replied as she gathered her courage.
