Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 427: Lost Trust

Adrian’s right-hand man Luke had infiltrated the Mansion without getting caught in an effort to see if Alice was actually out or not.

As he wasn’t able to find her even after searching for a long time, his assumption was proven to be right. The guards actually weren’t lying.

According to the Guards, She wasn’t going to return for seven days. Only two days had passed out of the seven, and a wait of 5 more days was still needed, but Luke didn’t wish to wait so long.

Who was to say that she would actually return in the end or not. He was somewhat in a hurry to finish this mission and leave since he didn’t wish to stay in this country any longer than he needed to.

Longer stay only meant more chances of conflict with the Kings that worked under Aluren. He wasn’t afraid of the conflict, but he had promised Adrian that he wouldn’t engage them. He didn’t wish to have to break that promise.

He soon found a maid who was sleeping in her room. Her room seemed to be the lost luxurious amongst the rooms of the servants that he had seen here, so he was assured about her holding a lot of authority here.

He had quickly snuck inside her room.

’If even she doesn’t know, then it would be tough to find her. I wouldn’t have any choice but to wait,’ Luke thought as he stepped closer to the woman who was peacefully sleeping on the bed.

Bzzz! Bzzz!

Suddenly, Aluren’s phone started vibrating as he received a call. His phone was on silent and could only vibrate.

Even though it was only vibrating, even the Vibration was so strong that it made a light noise in the room that only had pin-drop silence.

"Hmm..."

The maid also heard the noise as she slowly rubbed her eyes to open them. She turned on the table lamp that was near her bed and tapped the switch to turn on the lights.

The dark room once filled up with light as soon as the lamp was turned on.

The woman looked around the room, not finding anyone else.

She picked up her phone, wondering if it was the one that was vibrating. Strangely enough, the phone neither had a call notification nor a message.

"Must be my misconception," she thought as she shook her head. She turned off the lamp and laid on the bed once again as she closed her eyes.

Luke appeared on the roof of the mansion as he picked up the call.

Adrian was on the other side of the call.

"Luke, what are you doing there?" Adrian asked.

The last time he had called Luke, he was informed that Alice was outside and wasn’t going to return for a week. Why was it that he called just now? Did he know what was happening?

"Where?" Luke asked, sounding confused.

"You said she isn’t going to be at home for a week. Why is it that you’re inside her house then?" Adrian asked.

"This..."

Luke was stunned for words. How did Aluren know where he was?

"It must be the work of that Bastard! He’s keeping track of my location. He must have informed master Adrian. I’ll teach him a lesson after I go back,’ Luke thought as he clenched his fist.

"Answer," Adrian said softly, without any anger in his tone.

"Actually, I did enter her house. I did it not to create any trouble. I haven’t even interacted with anyone inside the mansion. I only wished to confirm if she was actually outside or were the guards lying to me for some reason," Luke answered, explaining himself.

"Good. Don’t create a bad first impression of her or her close ones. I don’t want her to hate us before even meeting me. Make sure you don’t create trouble unnecessarily," Adrian said, appreciating Luke’s self restraint.

"Yes," Luke nodded his head.

After telling Luke to keep his restraint, Adrian soon asked the question he was curious about. "So, what did you manage to find out? Is she actually outside?"

"She isn’t at home. The guards were telling the truth." Luke answered.

"Alright. Leave now then. Even though I’m in a hurry to meet her, I don’t want our haste to spoil things for her. Wait for her to return before properly approaching her."

This was the last command of Adrian, after which he disconnected the call without even waiting for a response.

"Sigh, I guess I’ll wait and not act now," Luke muttered softly as he placed the phone in his pocket.

He soon disappeared into the darkness.

Ryder reached the hotel when it was evening. As there was enough time for them to travel the city, they simply played the games during the evening.

After having the dinner, they walked back to their rooms.

Wishing a good night to each other, they went to bed.

Ryder was lying on the bed gazing at his hand, which felt much stronger than before.

’Four times the strength, huh,’ he thought as he observed his hand.

"I also got so much experience after I killed a King. I can’t even believe it. It’s good that the system counted it as him attacking me first when though I had shot him first since the bullet didn’t touch him."

" His invisible attack did land on me after that, which couldn’t harm me because of my Protection of Aria. Still, that was seen as him attacking me first. Can’t believe I jumped Fifty levels in the real world just from that. Twenty levels were rewarded by the system for the mission, and four times the strength was also received because of the pills." He was amazed at how eventful this day had been.

He had basically jumped seventy levels in the real world.

After all this time, he had been only level fifty in the real world but now, he happens to be at level one hundred and twenty in a single stroke.

Basically, his real-world level had not only caught up to the level in Divinity but it also slightly overtook his in-game level.

The four times strength increase was entirely different from this calculation.

He was amazed.

"Since my abilities are based on my level, I can use them according to the highest level no matter if it’s in a game or in the real world. Since my real-world level is higher, I should be able to keep them up for longer," he muttered as he smiled.

He brought his Divinity Glasses out of his inventory and wore them.

"Take me to Divinity," he muttered softly after he wore the glasses.

A connection was established between his brain and the world of Divinity as he was sent to Divinity.

He opened his eyes, finding himself in the Throne Room.

Rale was not in the Hall, but Miku was still there, seemingly cleaning the throne.

"Your Majesty," she greeted Ryder as soon as he appeared.

"Yeah. Did you handle the bodies?" Ryder asked Miku as soon as he appeared.

"Yeah. I have arranged everything. Their bodies are buried properly," Miku answered as she sighed.

"What about the family members of the ones who have died?" He asked softly.

He was sure that they could keep this matter hidden, but the biggest problem was the family members of the Guards and maids who might ask about their whereabouts after they don’t return for a long time.

"Their family members are still unaware. The servants and maids that worked here are provided accommodation right here. They only go back home once in a while by taking longer leaves. Their family members won’t know about their disappearance for quite some time," Miku answered as she sighed.

She was still upset that Ryder was thinking about hiding the deaths of their comrades who had died in the attacks of a vampire. Instead of telling others and placing the blame on the girl, he was protecting her and risking himself even more.

Even though she wanted to tell him how wrong he was, the hierarchy didn’t allow her. Also, she was still hopeful that he might have a good reason.

[Warning: Loyalty of Miku has deceased. Her faith in you is seventy percent only]

Ryder was about to tell Miku to call Rale when a notification resounded in his head.

’Sigh, Her loyalty did decrease. That was to be expected after all that happened. She must be close to the maids and servants. They all died because of the girl that I brought. She was serving the girl who killed her friends because of my orders. She must be stunned already. Not only that, but I’m also keeping this news a secret and telling her to lie even about that. No wonder her loyalty is decreasing,’ Ryder thought as he sighed.

Her loyalty happened to be at eighty-five percent, but now it was down to seventy.

He had expected it to fall, even more, so he was surprised that it only fell that much. Everything depended on what he did next.
