Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 236 Maxwell

Chapter 236: Maxwell

" You can leave for now. We will investigate what happened here properly first," The Police Chief said to Ryder. A look of hate was clearly visible on his face.

" Sure. I would love to meet you again to help you with the investigation. I hope you stay safe to finish this investigation successfully. The criminals need to be brought to justice," Ryder replied with a subtle smirk on his face.

"Hmph," the police chief snorted as he s.h.i.+fted his focus and started looking at the other officers.

"You guys wait here and help the bodies get back. Take the stock of the damage and talk to the witnesses. I'm taking this guy to the station to interrogation him," he told his men before he walked back to his car.

A few cops stayed behind to investigate here while the others went back with the police chief.

The Police Cars left.

Ryder walked to the Major Generals with Alice.

"Thank you, Sir," Ryder thanked the Major Generals with a bright smile on his face. "You helped me a lot."

"Don't thank us, Young Man. We don't even know you. If Director Alem hadn't asked us to help you, we wouldn't even be here," The Major Generals replied as he pointed towards the man dressed in black.

"Director Alem?" Ryder muttered in confusion.

Dream Corporation was an American aeros.p.a.ce, defense, arms, security, and advanced technologies company with worldwide interests. It was a giant when it came to business. It had its fingerprints in many businesses, but it was most well known for its Weapon Technology.

It was the biggest contractor of weapons for the US government at the moment and even worldwide.

The Major Generals were going with the man in black to Shu's house for some business matters related to an important deal.

Ryder didn't know that the man dressed in black was called Alem Schmidt. He was the Non-Executive Director of the Dream Corporation's Defence Technology Branch.

He was counted as one of the most influential people around the world. In the Dream Corporation, his position was said to be fifth in the Hierarchy.

The first in the position was the mysterious Owner of the Dream Corporation that had all the power. The Second was the Managing Director of the Dream Corporation. The Executive Directors were third and fourth.

Alem Schmidt was the fifth. One thing to note was that in the top five powerhouses of the Dream Corporation, Alem was the youngest and had the most potential for future growth after the mysterious Owner of the Corporation. He was seen as the future leader that was one day going to be the Chairman of the Dream Corporation.

" Thank you for the help," Ryder thanked Alem.

" It's nothing. I did it because he asked me to," Alem replied casually. He suddenly looked back and saw two cars coming in his direction.

The one in the lead was a Ferrari 2047, the car behind him was a luxurious SUV.

The Cars stopped in front of Ryder.

A person stepped out of the Ferrari.

The man was wearing a black coat and pants. He was a little chubby and looked to be as young as Ryder.

"Shu..." Ryder muttered as he saw the man.

The doors of the car behind him opened as well, and a Shu's butler stepped out of the car.

"Master Shu, how can you come here without security?" Alem Schmidt inquired in an upset tone.

"Calm down, Alem. You know I keep my ident.i.ty hidden just for this reason. No one is going to hurt me here. I'm not too fond of the security after me always. That's why I did so much to make sure that no one knows my face but the people I actually deal with and trust," Shu replied as he chuckled.

"Brother Ryder, It seems like things are handled. Let's go back to my house," Shu told Ryder, who had his mouth open.

"Generals, It's great to meet you again. Let's talk at home," Shu told the Generals as he greeted them.

The Major Generals nodded their heads as they went towards the wire rope to get back to the helicopter.

"Sigh, I'll never understand you. It would help if you worried about your security. Although only our trusted people know your real face, we can't ignore the fact that you need to have security. You can't ignore it like that. I'll talk to you about it back home. I'm not leaving this topic today," Alem told Shu as he smiled wryly before he also went towards the helicopter.

"Hahaha, He's still like that. He'll like that old grandpa that doesn't stop worrying," Shu couldn't help but laugh.

"Come, brother Ryder. I think it's finally time to tell you everything about myself," Shu told Ryder as he held Ryder's hand and started pulling him towards his cars.

" You can bring the Ferrari back home. I'll come in the SUV since Ferrari won't fit three people. Alright?" Shu told his butler, but he didn't stop as he continued walking towards the car.

Ryder was holding Alice's hand with his other hand.

All of them entered the Black SUV.

A helicopter landed in the helipad of Maxwell Mansion.

Alem and the Major Generals stepped out of the helicopter and went towards inside the mansion.

After some time, two cars also entered the mansion.

Ryder, Shu, and Alice stepped out of the car.

"A mansion like this..." Ryder muttered as he looked at the Mansion.

"I was thinking I'm the one keeping secrets, but you, it looks like you're two steps ahead of me," Ryder let out as he smiled wryly.

"So, who are you?" Ryder asked Shu.

"My full name is Schumacher Maxwell. In short, Shu," Shu answered Ryder.

"Maxwell... that helicopter... the Major Generals... You're the owner of Dream Corporation?" Ryder exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh?" Alice was also shocked as she heard it. The guy she thought to be Ryder's friend was such a big person.

"Hahaha, Yeah. Sorry for not telling you before. I felt like there was no need to talk about this. I didn't want my position to change the bond between us," Shu replied as he smiled wryly.

"What is your position? You spent time with me. Did you really think I'll behave differently around rich people? Don't worry about that; I'm catching up to you pretty soon. My company will join the ranks of big corporations pretty soon. Position and money is nothing. It's not going to change anything between us," Ryder replied as he smiled.

" I know what you're thinking, and no! I don't want help. I want to bring my company to the top with my own hard work. If you tried to help me behind that shadows, then that will be what gets between us. So, don't even try," Ryder said as he saw Shu about to say something.

"I expected an answer like that," Shu replied as he shook his head.

"Fine. I'll only wish your company best of luck in that case," Shu said to Ryder, shaking his head.

" You can go to the guest room and take a shower and change clothes. We have a resident doctor here as well. It doesn't seem like you have any serious injuries, but still, get checked. In the meantime, I'll deal with the Generals," Shu told Ryder right before he entered the mansion.

Ryder and Alice were escorted to a room that seemed like it was a suite of a luxurious hotel.

The gowns are in the bathroom. You can wear that, in the meantime, I'll arrange for clothes for you," The butler told Ryder before he left them in the room.

" It's so incredible. Brother Shu is so rich. I had no idea that he was one of the richest people in the country. Who could've guessed from the way he behaved and his clothes? He really fooled us," Alice said as she looked at Ryder.

"I don't think he faked anything. There are unorthodox people all around the world. It's not unusual for someone so rich to be so down to earth. I'm somewhat glad that he's like that. It's good that power hasn't corrupted him," Ryder replied as he sat on the couch.

"You can go take a shower first. I'll stay here," Ryder told Alice.

Alice nodded her head as she started walking towards the Shower Room.

"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He was lucky today! He not only managed to save the girl, but he escaped us as well. All because of you!"

The Police Chief was in the cell with the only survivor of today's incident. It was the man that Ryder had spared.

The man was tied to a rope, and the Police Chief had a staff in his hand, which he was using to beat the c.r.a.p out of the man.

The man kept screaming, but no one came to save him.

"You tras.h.!.+"

"You can't even do a single job, right!"

"Just die already!"

The Police Chief was the one that sent these people to Ryder's house, so he wasn't actually going to investigate these people.
