Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 585 How can I sleep

Chapter 585: How can I sleep

Ryder drove the car back to the bar, stopping it near the bar which he had just left.

He stepped out of the car and walked back to his old sports car, which he took with him as he drove to the restaurant nearby.

"This one should be good enough for dinner." He observed the restaurant he noticed before he stopped the car.

Parking it nearby, he stepped out and walked inside the restaurant without forgetting to put the cash in his pocket that he had taken from the man.

As it was already getting late, there weren't many people in the hotel. Only a few seats were taken. As for the rest, they were completely free to be taken.

Ryder selected one of the seats that were close to the window as he started waiting for the waiter that was taking someone else's order.

After taking the last order, the waiter approached Ryder with the menu.

"Bring whatever is the best dish of this place. No need for the menu," Ryder told the waiter casually without even looking at the menu. He believed he wasn't going to understand half the dishes because of the different names anyways.

The waiter left.

Ryder brought out his phone as he looked at the clock.

"Eleven thirty only. I still have time. I should get there by one, it seems," he said as he kept the phone back.

The waiter brought the dish and placed it before Ryder. "This is our best dish. I'm sure you'll love it."

As the waiter left, Ryder started tasting what seemed like a mixed vegetable dish that also contained something he couldn't recognize. It did seem delicious.

"Not bad at all."

He didn't long before finis.h.i.+ng that dish. Instead, he even ordered seconds.

"This is really good. What's it called?" He asked while the waiter gave him the bill.

"It's called The Fool's Gold," the waiter replied, making Ryder look at him weirdly.

"I must say, it's a weird name, but the dish is pretty good," Ryder said as he brought the cash out of his pocket and placed it on the table along with the tip as he left.

Getting back in his car, he again looked at the clock, which was just one minute short of midnight.

He opened the GPS in his phone to direct him to Adrian's hotel.

He turned on the engine of the powerful car, which seemed to be roaring with power as he pressed the accelerator.

It didn't take him long to get to the seven star hotel where Adrian was staying.

Without stopping his car there, he drove ahead and stopped a hundred meters away from the hotel where he parked the car before he walked back to the hotel.

The roads were mostly empty, and only a few cars were driving on the road at this time in the night.

As Ryder was walking, he suddenly stopped. Without looking back, he calmly said, "I'm warning you. Trying to rob me won't be a good idea. Someone would be injured, and it won't be me."

A man was standing behind him with a knife in his hand with a shock on his face. He was just about to use the knife to rob Ryder, but before he could even speak a word, the man before him started talking.

"Do you have eyes behind your head?" The man asked Ryder.

"I don't exactly have eyes behind my back. But I do have a ghost behind me, if you believe that," Ryder said, smiling. It was the spirit of Stanner who had informed him about this. It had always stuck with Ryder, even now.

"G.o.d, so you are a crazy man. You didn't know I was here. You just thought it was a ghost. You scared me for no reason," the man told Ryder as he sighed. "You scared me for no reason."

"It doesn't matter, I guess. In the end, you're going to do what you want. I already did my job by warning you. After this, it's your choice," Ryder calmly said as he started walking away.

"Stop and hand over all your money!" the robber yelled as he ran towards Ryder, but before he could even get close to him, he saw something s.h.i.+ning flash before his eyes. By the time he realized what had happened, his head was lying on the ground.

Ryder glanced at the man who was standing frozen as if he had seen a ghost.

"You're lucky that I don't want to make a scene here or what you saw would have been the reality," Ryder said lazily before he once again started walking away, leaving the s.h.i.+vering man behind.

He soon reached the hotel and entered.

As he entered, he created another large scale illusion from the skills he had received after killing Itsuki with the Moon Scythe. The illusion made him invisible for the people he cast it on.

As he didn't want to be stopped by the staff of the hotel, he basically made himself invisible. It worked in the same principle as his rabbit suit that made him seem like a rabbit.

As no one could see him, he casually walked to the receptionist and picked up the master key of Adrian's room back. He entered inside the lift, which took him to the top floor where Adrian's room was.

Stepping out of the lift, he started searching for the room.

"There it is."

He placed the master key to open the door.

Click!

The door was soon open as Ryder walked inside calmly.

"Ah, my friend. I know I invited you to ask for help, but I didn't know it would be so soon." A peal of laughter echoed in the room.

"You still didn't sleep, I see," Ryder muttered lazily as he noticed Adrian sitting on the sofa. He was still up.

"How can I sleep when one of my men is missing," Adrian replied, laughing. "That's right. I called him to ask if he left your home safely, but he didn't pick up. That never happens."

"He would always pick up my call unless he is dead," he further said. " So it was evident someone killed him or captured him, which isn't an easy task. Only a rare few people can do this, and all of them are my enemy."

"So which one of them sent you? Let me guess, was it Aluren?" Adrian asked, frowning.

"Aluren? That weak guy? I don't think he can ever send anyone anywhere anymore. He's dead," Ryder replied as he stepped closer to Adrian in slow steps.

"He's dead? Is that a joke? Who killed him?" Adrian asked, scoffing.

"Yours truly," Ryder let out as he spread his arms proudly. "I killed him like I'll kill you."

"Hahaha, you killed him?" Adrian burst into laughter.

"Just for that good joke, I'll give you a quick death!" He said as he disappeared from the sofa and appeared before Ryder as he punched with all his strength.

Unfortunately, before his fist could hit Ryder's face, he found his hand caught. And it was caught by none other than Ryder. His immense strength was stopped by Ryder? For the first time, he looked shocked and out of control.

"This won't work, my friend. Just like Itsuki had the illusion, Aluren had the fire, and Julien had a defense, you have strength. That's why I got three times strength before coming here," Ryder said as his bracelet changed to the Moon Blade, which he stabbed in the heart of Adrian, who was standing in shock.

Adrian's face turned pale as the moon knife was stabbed in his chest, but Ryder didn't stop as he brought the knife out, changed it to a sword, and slashed the head of Adrian off.

Thud!

The head of Adrian dropped to the ground, followed by his body as his eyes remained open.

"You really shouldn't have gone after Alice," Ryder said as he stepped closer to the body. He sat down before it and started the absorption process like before.

As the absorption process was finished, the body of Adrian disappeared, turning into a pure form of energy that was also absorbed by him.

Ryder stood up and sat on the sofa as he relaxed.

"Finally, I'm done here too. Now starts the next part. Who to choose? I killed Four of them. The other four should be child's play. The only problem is the Prince now. How to kill him without getting wanted in all the countries."

"I can't always avoid him. I need to finish him too. I guess next will be him. Might as well get it done with."

He brought out his phone and booked his next flight, which was going to take him to Great Britain, where his next target was.

As the next day's flight was booked, he decided to leave the room just as fast as he had come.

Even as he left, no one saw him. Not a single person knew that a powerful person was killed here, and no clues were left. Not even the body was left.
