Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 327 - 323: Final Place



"Ah, no. It's fine. I'm in no hurry to get home," Shu said as he smiled.

Ryder stood up and walked to the pilot.

"Young Master, these sudden talks about attacks? Do you seriously believe it? He probably saw some dream and thought it's going to happen. You don't have to play along," The Butler said softly to Shu.

" It's fine. I believe him. I'm sure he knows the difference between dream and reality. And even if it doesn't happen, so what? It's just one day. There's no trouble," Shu said as he shrugged.

Ryder walked back after a few minutes and sat beside Shu.

Shu could feel the helicopter changing direction.

"Where are we going now?" Shu asked Ryder.

"Hotel Verison," Ryder replied.

"What's there?" Shu inquired.

"That's the first place that is going to be attacked. I know the most about it, so I personally want to leave people there to teach them what they need to do," Ryder explained.

'Now that I think about it, taking the help of cops will not be such a bad idea since I lack people, but talking to Ray, him getting permissions from his higher-ups and that too without any evidence seems impossible,' Ryder thought as he wondered if he how many people he should leave at each location to catch the terrorists and to stop the attacks.

He had seventy people available, including the professional guards who were guarding Shu's Mansion, and he didn't want to take too many and put Shu and Alice at risk.

'There's most probably only one terrorist at each location since it's a simple sneaking inside and leaving the bomb missing for them. Two should be enough to catch that one guy,' Ryder thought.

The Helicopter landed on the roof of Hotel Verison.

Shu and Ryder stepped out of the helicopter along with the butler and the guards.

Ryder took everyone to a casino.

He pointed towards two people after he reached the casino.

"The Two of you will stay here for the next 5 hours. Look at your watch carefully. Exactly at 9:55, a bald man in a red t-shirt and black jeans will enter the casino and sit there. Your mission is to catch that guy and take the bag to the roof. Try to get that guy to deactivate the bomb, and if you can't, put the bag inside the helicopter that will land on the roof soon after," Ryder explained to the men.

"Oh, right. It's not a joke. Take it seriously. You aren't here to gamble or drink. People's lives are at stake. Set a reminder of 9:54 so you don't forget. Just do this one thing carefully, and tomorrow, you can enjoy all you want," Ryder told the men before he left with Shu and others.

"Man, that guy isn't even our boss, but he's ordering is around," one of the two men that were left behind muttered as he rolled his eyes.

" He's the close friend of the boss, so we don't listen to him. Come on; it's just 5 hours. It'll pass away in the blink of an eye," The Second Guy let out as he smiled wryly. He pulled his phone out and set a reminder before he walked over to the side and sat on a chair.

Ryder and the others went back to the roof and entered the helicopter, which was taken to the roof of another hotel. Ryder did the same thing again and left two men behind.

He did the same thing on the third place as well as the fourth and the fifth.

After he finished with the fifth place, he told the pilot to take them to the Shu Estate since he had run out of people. There were ten guards in the helicopter, and they were all left at one of the attacked locations.

The Helicopter landed on the helipad in the Shu Estate.

He collected Sixteen more trained guards from the Estate before he left again, leaving Shu behind. He told Shu to stay inside the mansion and to not leave the place tonight for whatever reason. He also told him to keep Alice inside and to make up some excuse as to why he couldn't take her to dinner tonight.

The Helicopter left.

Shu stood on the ground, watching the helicopter leave.

" I hope it's not true. If it's just you, taking your dreams seriously, it's fine. But if it's really a terrorist attack, then it's really serious. It'll be a dangerous night," Shu muttered as he looked into the distant horizon before he turned back and walked inside the mansion.

Ryder assigned the sixteen guards at the rest of the eight locations as well. He had covered almost every location. Now,  thirteen of the fourteen blast locations had guards waiting there for the terrorists to arrive.

As for the fourteenth location, Ryder wanted to be there himself. It was the club of Esmi. He at least knew what the terrorists at other locations looked like, and he could give their description to the guards, but the one that targeted Esmi's place was unknown. There was no sketch of that guy and no recorded footage. That's what made this place more tricky. He wanted to handle it himself.

Ryder gave the helicopter pilot a paper that had the schedule as to where he was supposed to be at what time.

He had thought of everything and formed a thorough plan.

He had arranged a pattern in which the helicopter could get the bags of bombs from various locations in one place if the bombs weren't disabled. After that, it was much easier for Ryder to take care of the bombs by simply putting them in his inventory as he did before.

The Pilot took the schedule before he flew away, leaving Ryder near the Club of Esmi.

Ryder walked towards the club. As he reached the entrance, he was greeted by familiar faces. The guards of the club recognized Ryder from his previous visits and allowed him to enter without any trouble.

As Ryder entered the club, he saw Mak standing nearby. Ryder couldn't help but remember the last time he saw Mak. He had used his pills to turn Mak into a mental child to take his sign on the property papers for a mission.

He didn't do anything with the papers since he didn't need that little bit of the money, and he didn't want to be seen as a bad guy. He just kept the papers in his invention if Janus ever gave a chain mission that needed those papers.
