Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 373

"That's a secret for now. Just know that it's because I had faith in you. I had faith that you can do it," Ryder did, smiling.
"Anyway, you've been working for a few days only. Still, you've managed to set everything up. I think you're doing good. Keep it up. I'll leave now," he said before he turned back and left, worried that Aleson might ask some hard questions if he stayed for longer.
He left the office, leaving Aleson behind, and went to the ground floor.
Entering the parking, he walked back to his car and got it out of the building. As he left the building, he couldn't help but wonder if someone had managed to find the body by now or if he would need to do it himself.
As he left the building, he saw two cars in front of the dead body of the Police Chief.
One of which was an SUV in which the Police Chief had arrived here while the other car belonged to someone else.
He could see a bald man, talking to someone with a worried look on his face. He was pacing back and forth near the body as he talked.
"A passerby found the body; it looks like. Anyway, since that's not where my home is, I don't have to get involved anymore. I can simply say I didn't see the body. The Death Note in his pocket would prove it to be a suicide," Ryder muttered as he smiled.
His car raced into the distance, going towards the North of the city.
"Now, I should have two things left to do. Read the file that Keia gave me and go to that Ancient Clan to finish the Mission and save Bastion. I also need to get the deal signed with Herriet tomorrow.

A red Ferrari Whirlwind raced through the city and stopped at the Club of Esmi.
Since he had some time before night, he decided to come here to see if he could find any clues about the person that placed the bomb in Shu's Car.
"Hey, Ryder! What brought you here?"
Entering the club, Ryder saw Esmi's right-hand man, Mark, whom he had fooled to finish a Mission in the past.
"What brought me here? Don't tell me you don't know. The attacks on Bastion!" Ryder sat on the table before Mark and started talking.
"About that... I heard. I'm glad he's okay," Mark replied as he nodded his head.
"There was a bomb in his car, probably with timing. It was the work of someone who knew where Mark was going and how long his journey was going to be. It's obvious that someone from this club was responsible for this. Did you have a hand in it?" Ryder asked straight away.
"I can't believe you would doubt me! I would never do such a cowardly thing. I would never try to kill Young Master Boss. Even if I would want to kill someone, I would never do it like that. I'll go shoot that person from the front!* Mark replied, sounding upset.
"I know you didn't have a hand in it. But someone from this place did. I'm sure Esmi told you to investigate. I'll tell you the same. Be careful while searching," Ryder replied, smilingly before he stood up and left.
Leaving the club, Ryder stepped inside the car and left.
" That bastard Mark! He did it," Ryder cursed as he drove the car while keeping his eyes on the road.
" I can't interrogate him without proof, and I can't tell them what I used to know the truth. He did it, but I can't prove it. He'll vilify me in the club. Esmi and Bastion will believe me, but they'll be a little skeptical," he continued as he sighed.

"As for the person who's truly responsible for this will escape by the time we get to it. I'll need to be careful with how I handle it."
Ryder kept trying to form a plan as he went towards Maxwell Estate.
Entering the Estate, he stepped out of the cat and entered the mansion.
As he entered, he saw a servant clearing the flower vase.
"Where's Shu?' Ryder asked the servant.
"Master is in his room," the servant replied.
Climbing the stairs, Ryder went to the first floor and knocked on Shu's door.
After getting the permission to enter, he opened the door and stepped inside.
"Shu, are you prepared for the Quest? I am finally free to go with you in Divinity tonight," Ryder told Shu, who seemed to be prepared to Enter Divinity.
"Hmm? You seem excited today," Shu replied as he chuckled. "Anyway, I'm prepared for the Quest. I've been waiting for a long time for this moment."
"Yeah, I finished a boring task inside Divinity. Now I can finally do some normal gameplay to get my head off of this real-world chaos. I feel like I really need this break to keep my sanity now," Ryder replied as he smiled.
"Anyway, I'll contact you when I'm in Divinity," Ryder said before he turned back and went back to his room.
After getting fresh and changing clothes, he laid on his bed. He brought his Divinity Glasses out of his inventory and wore them as he laid down on the bed.
"Take me to Divinity," Ryder muttered, allowing the glasses to take him to Divinity.
Waking up in the Royal Castle of the Demon Realm, Ryder stretched his arms as he sat up. He got off the bed and left his room.
He left his room and went to the Training Grounds inside the Palace, where he was sure to find Rale.
He walked through the hallway with the great maid beside him.
"Did anything happen while I was sleeping?" He inquired from the Head Maid; however, she only shook her head as she said that nothing happened.
"Good," Ryder muttered, nodding his head.
He entered the Training Grounds and saw Rale battling against his teammates as a form of training.
"Rale?" he called out.
"Your Majesty!"
Rale and the others greeted Ryder.
"Come with me," Ryder told Rale before he turned back and left.
Rale and the Head Maid Miku followed Ryder.
Ryder brought them to the underground where the Portals of other realms were, hiding behind old doors.
"Are we going somewhere?" Rale asked Ryder, understanding his intention.
"Yeah, we're going to the Human Realm," Ryder said, smiling.
"Miku, if someone comes and asks for us, you know what to do, right?" Ryder asked the Head Maid.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll say that you're sleeping and keep making excuses." Miku nodded her head.
Ryder smiled, nodding his head.
Opening one of the doors, he entered with Rale.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
