Time kept passing as the Ferris wheel moved. After half an hour, Ryder was starting to feel extremely bored.

"I didn't know this ride was so slow. Time passed much faster when I was here with Esmi," he muttered as he started playing with his phone.

Ryder played a game on his phone. It was a multiplayer game that he himself had developed.

Time kept passing like that, and after what seemed like an eternity, 3 hours were over.

"Finally," Ryder muttered as he stood up and left the cabin.

For the rest of the day, he kept up with the routine. He continued following Alice and the other girl.

Estonia Silva was the name of the girl who was with Alice. She used to study with Alice in the same class, but she transferred to another University mid-semester for reasons unknown.

Even though both of them studied in different universities, they still kept in touch.

She was also the person that Ryder was unknowingly linked to. Ryder knew her, but he didn't realize it.

She was the girl that raided the tomb with Shu and Ryder just a few days ago. Her username was Mimi123. She was the mage that wanted to buy his Scythe that was disguised as a staff.

"Hey, Alice?" Estonia asked her with a frown on her face. She seemed somewhat serious.

"Yeah?" Alice responded.

"I feel weird. I think the guy behind us has been following us for quite some time," Estonia said to her in a low voice. She didn't want the man to hear her.

Alice was about to turn back, but Estonia stopped her.

"Don't look back. He'll realize that we have seen him. Let's just try something. We'll go on another ride, and if he still follows us, then it will be clear," Estonia told her.

Alice was somewhat worried, but she nodded her head.

They chose the more crowded route as they walked towards another ride, but Ryder followed after them.

"It's clear. He's following us. It can be dangerous. I guess we'll just have to cancel our trip today," She informed Alice.

"Should we inform the Park Rangers?" Alice inquired.

"No. The guy might have weapons. If he sees us going to the guards, he'll definitely run away or attack us. Just act casual. I'll call for help. He wouldn't even know how he got caught," Estonia replied.

" Sigh, it feels bad just to stop our fun day when I worked so hard to come out without security. Whatever safety should be our first priority," Estonia let out. The disappointment was evident in her tone.

She picked up her phone and started to call someone.

Ryder was somewhat surprised as he saw them roaming around the crowded streets as if they were confused about what ride to choose.

"Let me call my brother as well," Alice muttered as she brought her phone out as well.

"Hello? Ah, yes. I'm sorry, father. I should've informed you before leaving. I'm in the amusement park. Can you send the guards here? Someone is following me," Estonia told her father on the phone.

Ryder was still confused as to what was happening. He could see both of them using their phones at once.

Suddenly, his phone started ringing.

He looked at his phone and was surprised to see that it was Alice calling him.

He picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, ah, Where are you right now?"

Ryder was starting to get worried. He wondered if she had recognized him.

" Me? Why? Did something happen?" he asked.

"Yes. I went to the amusement park, and we can see a guy in a mask following us. I am scared," Alice answered him.

"A guy is following you? And he's wearing a mask?"

Ryder couldn't help but smile wryly. He could see that they had found out about him, but she still didn't recognize that he was Ryder.

Generally, he would've just left in this situation, but because of the mission, he couldn't go out of 100 meters range of her.

"Tell me where you are," Ryder asked her.

Alice told him that she has come to the Amusement Park. She told him about her location, as well.

"Alright. Come out of the amusement park. I'm nearby. I'll be there. It would be difficult finding you inside. Check if he's still following you after you get him outside the park. I'll handle everything else," Ryder told her.

He wanted her to leave the park so that the mission would be over.

"A-alright," Alice nodded her head. She disconnected the phone.

"My guys will be here soon. Don't worry about anything," Estonia comforted Alice.

Alice told Estonia about what Ryder told her and got her to leave the amusement park.

"Alright. We'll do that. My guards would have an easy time finding us as well. Let's go," Estonia agreed.

They left the place and started walking towards the exit.

Ryder finally breathed in relief. He could see that this mission was soon about to be over.

He kept as far from them as he could without failing the mission.

Estonia and Alice were only 200 meters away from the exit when Ryder saw ten men entering the Amusement Park.

They were all dressed in black clothes.

"Those are my guards. Just act casual. That stalker shouldn't know that I called them here," Estonia informed Alice.

The men walked towards Alice and her friend.

Ryder wondered if they were Jameson's men as well or not.

He couldn't take the risk, and he started walking towards them.

He could see that he wouldn't get there in time if he walked. The men had a chance of getting to them faster.

He started running towards the girls.

Alice and Estonia also noticed Ryder running towards them. They also started running, but they ran away from Ryder.

The Black Clothed Men saw Ryder running towards the girls and the girls running away from him.

"That must be the guy that is harassing Young Miss! Catch him!"

The guys started running towards Ryder.

The situation had turned complicated.

Ryder saw the Men running. He thought that they were running towards Alice and her friend.

Everyone was under a misunderstanding at the moment—a misunderstanding that was about to create unnecessary trouble.

Alice and Estonia passed by the black-clothed men and stood behind them.

"He's that stalker. Beat him up!" Estonia told her guards.

"What?"

Ryder was shocked. He stopped in his tracks, surprised.

It didn't seem like the girls were afraid of the men. In fact, Alice's friend seemed to know them. He realized that the situation was wrong.

The Black Robed men didn't stop and continued running towards Ryder.
