Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 535: Coffee

Many expensive cars stopped before the Maxwell Estate, surprising even the guards that were standing near the gates.

This Estate belonged to one of the richest men in the world, and still, generally, this many cars never came together. At best, a few helicopters arrived whenever someone wanted to meet Shu.

Seeing so many cars, it was surprising.

The doors of all cars opened, and the Twelve Kings stepped out of the cars with Gander. Aluren was the last to step out of the car.

All of them walked towards the door and gestured for the guards to open the door.

"We’re sorry, Sir, but before we open the door, we need to know who you’re here to meet," the guards asked Aluren.

Normally they would also have asked if these people had appointments, but in this case, it was clear. There was no way these people could have an appointment since no one was even here.

They only wanted to know who they were here to meet so they could tell them if the one they were here to meet went out of the city for a meeting or if they went on a vacation.

"Cali, take care of it," Aluren lazily said.

He didn’t bother to answer the guards. In any case, they didn’t care about rules.

"Yes."

One of the Kings stepped forward and kicked the main entrance, shattering the iron gates like it wasn’t actually iron.

The broken iron gate flew far away before it landed on the ground.

Seeing the destruction, the Maxwell Estate guards were surprised. These people who looked like wealthy billionaires were so strong? It seemed impossible to break the door with just a kick, but one of them did it.

"Stop right there! This is private property! We are warning you!" The guards raised their guns towards the guy who had broken the door.

"Idiots..."

Standing in the back, Gander couldn’t help but sigh as he watched everything unfold. These idiots, instead of standing back and not interfering like sensible people, they were actually aiming their guns towards a King?

"They’re dead," he muttered as he sighed.

He closed his eyes and started counting to three.

"One... Two... Three..."

As he counted to three, he heard many screams, but he didn’t open his eyes. He only opened his eyes when his count finished.

After three seconds, he finally opened his eyes to see a sight which he didn’t find shocking.

Blood was everywhere. As for the bodies, only a few bodies were left intact. As for the rest, only their pieces could be seen.

"Cheh, a blood drop fell on my clothes. These bastards," Cali muttered as he gazed at the bottom of his pants where a single droplet of blood could be seen.

"Next time, you should be more careful. Our clothes are more expensive than the lives of these pests. Don’t let them ruin your clothes," Another King chimed in as he started walking towards the Mansion behind Aluren.

The rest also followed behind.

As they all reached the door, Aluren snapped his fingers, making the door magically open before he stepped inside.

There was a sofa right near the entrance of the main hall.

Aluren walked to the sofa and sat on it, resting one of his legs on another before he started walking back and forth.

"Find that guy and bring him to me," he told the Kings before he folded his arms and started resting.

The other kings dispersed and spread out, but before they could go far, one of the maids entered the hall.

The maid saw a new face inside and thought that the man sitting on the sofa was a guest since they were allowed inside the house.

"Ah, sir. Should I bring coffee for you?" she asked Aluren.

"I don’t want coffee. I want Ryder Flynn," Aluren told the lady as he raised his hand to kill the woman for disturbing him, but he stopped as he heard the next words of the woman.

"Him? But he already left on a vacation for a few days. Are you sure he gave you the appointment of today? Well, if he did tell you to come today, maybe he would come back," the maid said. "So, should I get some coffee for you?"

"Oh? He left on a vacation? You mean he isn’t here?" Aluren asked, surprised.

"That’s right. He left just yesterday. He said he would come back in a few days. Did he not tell you?" The maid asked, curious.

This man was here to meet Ryder, and he was also allowed entry, and he didn’t even know that Ryder wasn’t here? It seemed surprising.

"Do you have her number?" Aluren asked the maid.

"I do, but he said his number will be switched off since he doesn’t want anyone disturbing him during the vacation. I doubt it would be on," the maid replied.

"Try calling him and give me the phone if it works," Aluren told the lady who agreed as she walked over to pick up the phone.

She dialed a number while placing the phone in speaker mode.

"The number you’re trying to call has been switched off. Please try again later."

The woman disconnected the call before she turned back. As I said, his number is off.

"Does he have a servant or anyone else with you that we can contact?" Aluren inquired.

"He did take young miss with him. Other than that, he has no one," the maid replied.

"Alright. Call the young miss that you spoke off,x Aluren commanded.

The maid picked up the phone and dialed another number.

...

At the home of her best friend, Alice was playing a board game with her friend. Her phone was placed on the bed in the distance, switched off.

Ryder had already told her to keep her phone off until he came to pick her up. She listened to him.

...

The maid tried calling Alice.

"The number you’re trying to call has been switched off. Please try again later."

"Her number is off too," the maid informed Aluren.

"Where did they go on vacation? Give me their location," Aluren told the woman.

"They didn’t tell us where they were going since they didn’t want any disturbance. I don’t think we would see them before they come back on their own," the maid answered, sighing.

"We searched the whole house. That bastard is nowhere to be found!"

As Aluren was talking to the maid, the Kings returned from their search, unable to find Ryder.

"Huh?"

Hearing the tone of these people and their words, the maid was surprised. It didn’t seem like these people were the friends of Ryder. Her suspicion was increasing.

"Who are you people?" She asked.

Aluren stood up and stepped closer to the woman. As he stopped near her, he looked into her eyes.

"How many days did you say he was going to take?" Aluren asked the lady. "Wait, two days, I think. From that point on, you’re useless since you don’t know their location and can’t contact them."

"I’m honestly pretty upset that I have to wait here. So I would appreciate it if you don’t annoy me anymore."

Saying that, he turned back and walked back to the sofa.

"Oh right, since we’re going to be waiting here, I guess we’ll need that coffee now. Go make one for us," he told the maid before he closed his eyes.

The maid opened her mouth to speak something, but she was stopped by Gander.

"Shh... Do you want to die? Just listen to him and go make the coffee. I don’t want to have to find someone else to make it," Gander told the maid before he dragged her with him to the window and showed him outside where tons of dead bodies were lying.

The dead bodies were spread everywhere in the outside garden, belonging to the security guards of the Palace.

"Don’t put your life on the line for one coffee. As long as we’re here, serve them like a proper maid if you don’t want to end up like the people outside," Gander said before he freed the hand of the woman.

"Oh right, if you tried to contact the police, nothing will happen to them, but you’ll die. So have mercy on yourself and be clever," he added before he walked back to Renner.

The maid had a pale face as she heard the words of Gander but seeing so many dead bodies had horrified her. She could feel her hand shivering as she nodded her head.

She turned back and walked inside the kitchen.

"That guy isn’t here? Did he find out about our arrival and escape? He’s pretty knowledgeable in some strange ways. Should we try searching for him?" One of the Kings asked.

"I don’t think he ran away. This much time isn’t enough to know about the information of our arrival since only we knew about it. And that guy left yesterday, not today. I guess he really went on a vacation," Aluren replied.
