Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 244 The Help

Chapter 244: The Help

Dan told everyone that he worked for Dream Corporation. It surprised everyone, including Shu.

Shu didn't know that Dan worked for his company. He found it to be pretty interesting. He didn't say anything, though, and just sat back and continued eating the snacks.

" Dream Corporation has a lot of branches from what I heard. It works in multiple industries. What is your work in Divine Corporation?" One of the guys asked Dan.

"I work there, but I'm not a big shot. I work as a System Engineer in their Tech Division. It's just my beginning, so I'm sure I'll get higher positions in the future," Dan let out as he nodded his head.

"A System Engineer in the Dream Corporation? It's not a bad deal. The work they do is pretty high profile, and the incentives are good too. You can definitely reach great heights if you stay there," One of the guys replied.

The girls also started showing some interest as they looked at Dan. A man who was so successful and had such a bright future was definitely worth their interest. That all wanted a successful guy, and Dan was pretty good looking too.

"Dan, it looks like you're going to be taking my role here. All the girls are looking at it like hungry wolves. Take care of her," Bastion laughed out loud as he patted the shoulders of Dan.

"Hah, stop joking, man. You're always going to retain that position. Only an idiot would be stupid enough to believe that the girls would want anyone other than the Great Bastion," Dan laughed out loud as he rolled his eyes.

He knew that no matter how he looked, Bastion was many times better. He was handsome, and he came from a wealthy family. Dan had no confidence in himself.

"Anyway, it's your turn. Start talking," he continued without giving Bastion a chance to respond.

"Me? I'm living the same life as before. You know that I'm a happy go lucky guy. Just pandering my family money," Bastion replied casually.

"Really? I heard you went to foreign for further studies. Don't you have any interest in working?" One of the guys asked Bastion.

"I did finish my higher education and just came back. I'm taking some time off before I think about what I need to do. It's not like I must work, though. I want to work on something that interests me," Bastion replied.

"Anyway, let's move over to the last person," Ryder said as he looked at Ryder

" Brother Shu, You're new, and the people here don't know you that well. Introduce yourself. From now on, you're a member of our club too."

"Yes. You're with Ryder. Do you work with him?"

Shu was the only person that was left who hadn't answered yet.

"Ah, right. I work with Brother Ryder," Shu replied as he smiled innocently.

He wasn't exactly telling the truth, but he wasn't lying either.

They did work together in Divinity to clear the Dungeon. He didn't bother telling them the reality that he had one of the wealthiest people in the world, let alone amongst the ones present here.

Shu was never the one to look for attention; otherwise, he wouldn't keep his ident.i.ty a secret, whether it wasn't needed to expose his ident.i.ty.

Ryder was standing outside the room as he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

After some time, the person on the other side picked up the phone.

"Ooh, My hubby is calling me? You never call. Did something happen? Are you missing me?"

A beautiful sounding voice was heard from the other side of the call.

"Of Course. Who would I miss if not you, my dear? There's never a day I don't miss you," Ryder let out as he replied.

The person on the other side was none other than the Mafia Queen of the city, Esmi. She was the first woman Ryder slept with and the one who possessed a lot of power in the underworld.

"Hah, you're flirting too. It's either you're really h.o.r.n.y today, or you need me for something. Tell me what it is so that I can prepare accordingly," Esmi chuckled as asked Ryder.

She knew that Ryder didn't sound urgent, so she could take her time flirting with him a little. If he sounded urgent, she would've instantly left instead of talking like this.

"I do need you today, and it's for something really important. I want to scare a few people. I need a few of your men here. You don't need to come through. Bastion is here as well. It would be awkward if you come here since there won't be any benefits, and only your time will be wasted, so only send the men. Send them with weapons. Also, make sure that they are people that Bastion doesn't know about. I don't want him to know what I'm doing," Ryder told Esmi.

"Alright. I'll send ten of my best men. All of them will be armed. Tell me the address," Esmi agreed before she asked the address.

"Cafiona Karaoke Bar on the 154th Street. Give me a call when they're here. I'll meet them outside," Ryder told her.

"Alright. Everything will be arranged. The men will be there in ten minutes," Esmi said as she nodded her head.

"Awesome. Thanks," Ryder responded with a smile on his face before he disconnected the call.

After disconnecting the call, Ryder walked back into the room.

The club members were already finished with the introduction, and they were now about to start the Karaoke Session.

Ryder walked back into the room and sat on his position as he joined up with them.

Exactly after ten minutes, Ryder's phone started ringing. He didn't even bother looking at his phone as he stood up.

"You guys continue. I'll be back after taking the call," He told Bastion and others before he left the room.

Ryder walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

He brought his phone out of his pocket and looked at the caller id. It was the same person he was expecting. It was Esmi.

Ryder picked up the call.

"Hey, there, hubby. Ten of my guys are already outside the place. You can go out and meet them. You can give them any command. Oh, Bastion doesn't know them. You, on the other hand, to know the guys," Esmi chuckled as she informed Ryder.

"I know, but he doesn't? Interesting. Let me see who they are. Thanks, by the way. You're the best," Ryder said before disconnecting the call.

Ryder went down the stairs and stepped out of the Karaoke Bar.

"Hah, it's you guys? Esmi sent you to help me?" Ryder inquired as he frowned.

He recognized the people in the lead.

He remembered the day he went to bowling with Shu. Three people tried to bully Shu there, and Ryder had beaten them up.

A few more things had happened after them, which involved the guy in the clear following Ryder's car to kill him.

Ryder also planned to kill those guys, but he had found out that they were Esmi's gang members. Esmi had convinced Ryder not to go anything at that time, and she had told these guys to stop following Ryder.

"Yeah, Madam Esmi sent us," the boss of the team said as he nodded his head.

"Good. You brought the masks and the weapons?" Ryder asked the guts.

The guy in the lead raised his s.h.i.+rt softly and showed the gun that was tucked in his pants.

"Good. Now dress up and listen to the plan," Ryder muttered as he walked closer to them and told them what he wanted to go.

The gang members heard his plan and couldn't help but look at him weirdly.

"You called us here for that?" the leader asked Ryder with an incredulous look on his face.

"Yup. It's not a tough job. I'm sure you can handle it," Ryder replied.

"Hmph, of course, we can handle it. It's a kid's job after all," the man let out as he shook his head.

"Whatever. Let's just get done with this," The man said as he looked at Ryder.

Ryder smiled subtly as he nodded his head.

"Just how long is his call? It's Ryder's turn to sing," Dan asked Bastion as he looked in the direction of the door.

"It must be a call from work. Let me see," Bastion let out as he stood up and left the room.

Bastion looked outside but didn't find Ryder there.

"Did this guy go to the toilet or something? Hah, he must've eaten a lot. Let me go find him," Bastion muttered as he walked towards the gents toilet.

He thought that Ryder came out of the room to take a call, but he went to the toilet after disconnecting the call.

Ryder just happened to come out of the lift at the moment in time. He had disguised himself. He was wearing a joker mask and a robe.
