Chapter 356: Not interested
In the Royal Palace of the United Kingdom, A blonde man was taking a walk in his garden when a maid came from behind and informed him of something.
"In the States? Interesting. I wonder if I should have some fun," the man muttered as he heard her words.
Right beside the country of China, existed another large Democracy known as India.
Inside the Capital of India, New Delhi, a silver-haired young man was sleeping on his bed comfortably, unaware of the alarm that was beeping beside his bed.
The young man seemed like he was barely twenty right now.
After a long time, the man finally woke up. He looked towards the clock to see the time.
"What the heck?! It"s so late! I"m going to be late for college!" the young man exclaimed as he stood up and started getting dressed in a hurry before he left his house for college.
Entering his average car, he started it and raced it towards his college.
His phone kept ringing, but he ignored the call as he focused on the road.
Reaching the college campus, he parked the car and stepped out.
Looking at his watch, a smile appeared on his face.
"I made it," he muttered as he walked towards the building in a hurry.
"Sigh, this phone is going to be the death of me. Always ringing," the young man muttered as he smiled wryly as he looked at the phone, which had started ringing again.
"Hmm? Itsuki is calling? I seem to have missed a call from Suliven too? What"s happening?" the young man muttered before he picked up the call.
"Hey there, Mr. Billionaire. How"s it going?" The young man asked, picking up the call.
" So what if Adrian went there? What has this got to do with me? Come on, bro. I barely made it on time. I"m going to miss my physics cla.s.s because of you," the young man replied after hearing the response from the other side.
He walked towards his cla.s.s, listening to what the other side had to say.
"So what if I"m from the Seven. I just want to study and graduate. You don"t know my aunt, bro. She"s going to kill me if I fail," the young boy replied as he smiled wryly.
"The six of you can play around. I"m sure you"ll handle everything. I wouldn"t need to get involved. Let me study and graduate so I can focus on other things. Right, I"m outside my cla.s.s. I"ll call you later," he said before disconnecting the call.
While everyone was talking about Adrian Balakin, the man in question was walking around the streets of New Jersey. Finding a mall on his way, he entered to roam around. The place happened to be in the same mall that Ryder had entered when he came to shop with Alice a few moments ago.
"The clothes here aren"t bad," the silver-haired young man known as Adrian Balakin muttered as he looked at the clothes in the shops.
He entered the changing room and came out wearing a grey turtleneck and a black coat on top alongside black pants. He was also wearing reading cla.s.ses on his eyes that he had just purchased.
"I was right. The gla.s.ses do make me look good. Even though I don"t need them, I should wear these. These suit my looks," the man said as he smiled. He left the mall.
Back at the Maxwell Estate, Ryder went back to his room after checking up on Alice.
"Time to finish the task of visiting all Duke"s Palaces before I can be free to roam around Divinity with Shu on his mission," Ryder muttered as he wore the Divinity Gla.s.ses and laid on his bed.
"Take me to Divinity," he muttered, establis.h.i.+ng a link with Divinity.
Appearing inside the Demon Realm, he continued on his task. He went from one Duke"s place to another to visit their land and comfort the citizens.
Time kept trickling away as a week pa.s.sed away.
During the day, Ryder continued his word of setting up his office and hiring the people; Whereas, during the night, he visited the Dukes Palace. After a week, he was finally done as he and High Duke Mila returned to the Royal City of Demon Realm.
Ryder woke up in the real world and took off the Divinity Gla.s.ses. Sitting up, he stretched his arms.
"Finally, I"m done! The next time I go back, I can have some fun," Ryder said as he smiled.
"I have enough money too, after winning Fifty Million Dollars from various betting places. I even won the case against the Police Department. That gave Alice ten million dollars on her own name. Life is so good. Now that everything has calmed down, it"s about time to get revenge. Did that guy think he can have my sister kidnapped since he"s the Police Chief? I won the case and money, but it doesn"t mean that I"ll let that guy go free after all he schemed," he muttered as he stood up.
He stepped into the shower to get fresh and came out soon after.
He has woken up early today just so he could drop Alice to college himself.
"Alice, come! We"re going to be late," said Ryder as he knocked on the door of Alice"s room.
"Is this girl still in Divinity?" Ryder muttered as he glanced at the door.
Opening the door, he entered the door. He was thinking that Alice was in bed, immersed in Divinity, and that was why she wasn"t replying, unaware of the fact that something else was going on.
As he entered the room after opening the door, he saw the room to be empty.
Suddenly, the door of the washroom opened as a young lady stepped out.
The girl looked to be barely twenty years old.
Ryder"s face turned pale as he saw Alice standing in front of him in just a towel.
Seeing Ryder in front of her, Alice stepped back in shock, her back hitting against the wall.
"Ouch."
Hitting the wall with force, Alice felt the pain that made her let out a voice.
Ryder heard her pained voice and ran towards her, thinking that she was hurt. Just as he was a meter away from her, he saw Alice"s towel open as it fell down.
With a pale look on his face, Ryder tried to stop himself, stopping only a few inches away from Alice, who was standing completely bare.
Alice seemed to be blank as tears appeared in her eyes. Ryder also didn"t seem like he knew what to do as the two of them stood in front of each other like that.
