Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 143 You can't do anything

Chapter 143: You can't do anything

"What are you talking about? What could go wrong? What exactly will you talk to the dean about?" Alice asked in confusion. She didn't think that this whole thing was that simple.

"It's a secret," Ryder smilingly replied as he focused on breakfast.

Alice shook her head as she started eating as well. She wanted the answers, but she knew that she wasn't going to get any.

They finished breakfast and left the house together.

They got into the Whirlwind of Ryder, which zoomed off towards the University of Dreamers.

Ryder was driving the car when his phone started ringing.

"Can you pick the phone and hold it near my ear?" Ryder asked Alice as he kept both his hands on the steering wheel.

Alice brought the phone out of his pocket.

"Who is it?" Ryder asked Alice.

"It's someone named Shu," Alice replied.

"Oh, it should be the same Shu that helped me get you out of jail," Ryder answered her. "Alright. Pick up the call."

Alice tapped on the green Symbol on the phone and put it on Ryder's ears.

"h.e.l.lo?" Ryder asked.

"Brother Ryder, sorry for being out of touch. I got busy with some work stuff. Anyway, I called you to ask about that thing. How did it go?" Shu said as soon as he heard Ryder's voice.

"Which thing?" Ryder asked him. Many things were going on with him, and he was unclear which of them Shu was talking about.

"The thing about that Dean of the Dreamers University. You said that you would handle him. That's what I called to ask about," Shu answered him.

"Oh, about him. Yeah, that's a done deal. He came to our home and apologized to Alice," Ryder answered Shu.

Alice's ear perked up as she heard Ryder talk about her.

"He apologized? Really? That stubborn old man apologized? How did you do it?" Shu asked as he started laughing.

"Ah, I talked to him like a gentleman, and he understood what I wanted to say," Ryder told him.

"That's a lie! Tell me what you did. Come on, I won't tell anyone," Shu said again.

Ryder smiled wryly as he heard him insisting.

"Ah, Yeah, I'm going to the University with Alice, I'll send those doc.u.ments later," Ryder said, subtly.

He wanted to say that he was with Alice and that he'd tell him something later, but he knew that Alice would start doubting him if he said that.

"Oh, You're with her. Alright. I won't ask anymore, but I expect full details when you're free," Shu said to Ryder.

"Alright. Expect that to be a done deal," Ryder responded.

"You can focus on what you were doing. Don't forget to call me when you're free. This curiosity is killing me," Shu told him.

"Sure."

The call was disconnected.

"You can put the phone back," Ryder told Alice.

Alice put the phone back in his top pocket.

"Is he your business partner?" Alice asked Ryder.

"You can call him Big Brother Shu if you're wondering what to address him as. He's a close friend of mine, and we do have a business partners.h.i.+p as well," Ryder told her.

He didn't mention what kind of partners.h.i.+p it was.

"I forgot to mention it, but the next time you talk to him, please give my thanks to him. For helping me last time and for taking care of you," Alice told Ryder.

"I'll thank him for the first one, as for the second, I guess you can say that we both take care of each other somewhat."

Ryder stopped the car. He was already at the University.

"Let's go. You can go to the cla.s.s, and I'll go meet the Dean," Ryder told Alice before he stepped out of the car. Alice also left the car.

They both walked towards the University but separated along the way as Ryder walked to the administrative building.

Ryder got to the Dean's door and knocked on it.

"Who is it?" the Dean asked.

"It's your friend," Ryder said as he opened the door and walked inside.

The Dean saw Ryder and abruptly stood up.

"You! What are you doing here! I thought we were done!"

"Shhh. Don't behave like that. What will other people think? I'm not here to harm you. I just want to talk to you," Ryder said as he closed the door behind him.

"You want more money, don't you? I knew that you would keep blackmailing me," The Dean sighed as he sat down.

"Who wouldn't want money, but that's not what I'm here for. I need something else from you," Ryder said to the Dean as he sat on the seat in front of him.

The Dean placed both his hands on the table as he gravely looked at Ryder.

"What do you need?" He asked.

"I want your daughter to regret what she did to my sister and apologize to Alice. I think you know that I have many methods to make that happen, some of which might be too brutal," Ryder said casually.

"Don't you dare harm my daughter, or I will kill you!" The Dean roared in anger as he smashed his hand on the table.

His loud voice attracted the attention of the people on the outside.

"Sir, Is everything alright inside?"

Ryder and the Dean heard a female voice and a knocking on the door.

"E-everything is alright. Don't disturb me," The Dean replied.

"Alright. I apologize for the disturbance," the woman responded.

"You used your brain; otherwise, things might've gotten complicated for you. Back to the topic of your threat, let me tell you. I can do anything I want, and you can't go anything to stop me," Ryder said as he smiled.

" But I'm not that kind of person, and I don't want to go down that dark path, that's why I came here. I want you to help me make your daughter apologize to my sister so that I won't need to take any strict measures," he continued.

"I'll tell her to apologize," The Dean said to Ryder.

Ryder shook his head as he denied that suggestion.

"No, she needs to regret what she did as well. That won't happen if you just tell her to apologize. She will just detest my sister more and will never regret what she did. Do as I say and everything will be fine without any problem," he said.

The Dean looked at him with a frown.

"As long as it doesn't harm my daughter, I'm willing to do anything," The Dean finally said with determination.

"Good. It would have been so good if you were that understanding from the start. Things wouldn't come to this point," Ryder muttered.

"What do you want me to do?" the Dean asked Ryder.
