Chapter 398: Shu\'s Scheme

Shu gained another level as he received the experience from killing the Orc King.

Ryder also received the experience, but it wasn’t enough to make him jump a level.

The rewards aren’t bad. All three of the weapons of this guy are Silver Grade treasures. I would offer you some, but you already have Unique Grade Items, and these items taking a slot in your inventory would be a waste of slots for you," Shu told Ryder as he picked up the weapons.

"Yeah. You can keep them. You are a thief, so you can’t use these items. Two of these are for warriors, while one is for archers. Keep them for when we open our guild. We can give to the ones that don’t have good weapons," Ryder replied as he agreed.

"I was thinking the same thing," Shu let out as he smiled.

He collected the loot but as soon as he finished, the Orc’s body started disappearing as it turned into little specks of light?

As soon as it disappeared completely, a ring was revealed to be lying on the ground.

"That must be the ring we are here for," Shu muttered as he stepped towards the ring.

He picked up the ring.

[Ring of Lexini discovered]

"Hah, finally we are done. Now we can return this thing and finish the quest," Shu let out as he smiled.

He expected the battle to be tough and expected himself to at least be injured to win, but with the help of Ryder, he didn’t even need to put much effort into it.

He just made a single attack and won the Battle, all thanks to Ryder, which was the reason he wasn’t the least bit tired.

"Let’s leave now that we are done."

The three of them left the tower of Orcs and went back to the carriage that was waiting far away from the tower.

"W-what? You entered, and you came back safely? How could this be? Oh right, you didn’t actually enter deep, did you? You must’ve stood near the door and ran out. There is no way that you went deep and survived. I am right, aren’t I? No wonder you’re safe," the Carriage Driver said as he saw Ryder and the others standing before him.

"We killed the Orc King," Shu answered as he showed the sword of the Orc King.

The Carriage Driver was stunned at the sight of the sword. He exclaimed excitedly, "What?! This can’t be! It’s actually the Sword of the Orc King? You really killed him! You three must be great warriors!"

[ Five Thousand Fame Points received]

Ryder heard a notification in his head. Shu heard the same in his head as well.

"Just this single guy gave us so many Fame Points?" Shu asked in surprise.

"It’s not just him but his reach. He will go back and spread the word in the whole Kingdom. That is probably why the Fame Points are so much. We achieved something significant after all," Ryder explained as he smiled.

He tapped the shoulder of the carriage driver. "Can you take us back now? We need to go to the Royal Family as well."

"Ah, right." The man let out as he nodded his head.

Shu and Rale also sat inside the carriage as it started moving.

When it was night, Ryder and Shu logged out of Divinity.

Ryder got dressed and left the Mansion since he had a meeting with Herriet about the future of the Aviation Branch of Divine Corporation and how they could make the rise.

As he went down the stairs, he noticed that Shu was also dressed and leaving the house.

Curious about Shu’s outing, Ryder asked, "Where are you going?"

"I will be out of the city for the next few days or even longer. We have a meeting between the board members. I should be back as soon as I am done," Shu answered as he smiled.

"Alright," Ryder nodded and left the house with Shu.

He stepped inside his Whirlwind while Shu sat in the helicopter that flew away.

Ryder went towards his office.

Shu was sitting in his helicopter beside his butler when he received a message.

He opened the phone and saw that it was a message from a person he knew. He had received an image that showed Ryder meeting with Ray.

He called the number that sent the picture.

"When was it taken?" Shu asked.

"We were following the officer that you asked us to keep an eye on. Just recently, he met with Ryder," the person on the other side replied. "They traveled together before Ray was dropped at his sister’s house. After that, Ray left the city."

"Did you find out why he is sticking so close to him? Did he come here to meet him or to meet his sister? What is his mission?" Shu inquired.

"From what we found out, his mission is classified. We were still able to dig something. Apparently, his team is handling the matter of a terror group that was behind the attack in DC and the one that was allegedly responsible for the bomb that blew up mid-air in your city," The person on the other side answered.

"The blast that occurred near his building? If I’m not wrong, he was nearby at the time of the blast as well. Could it be that he is involved in something dangerous? I can’t delay for long," Shu muttered as he gazed outside the window.

"Alright. Keep an eye on Ray and tell me if he contacted Ryder again. I also want to hear what they talk," he told his ken.

"I am really sorry, but that’s impossible even with our resources. Ray is taking a lot of precautions. We can’t listen to their conversion. We can know when they talk over the phone, but we can’t know what they talk about. It was the same last time as well." The person on call sounded perplexed.

"I don’t care how you do it. Use any resource you want. I give you permission. I want to hear what he is involved in," Shu replied, not listening to his concerns before he disconnected the call.

"Brother Ryder, why are you so much alike to him? Even your bad habits are the same? Why put yourself in danger for no reason. He was an idiot too. I hope you aren’t the same. I don’t wish to take drastic measures," Shu muttered as he sighed.

"Sir, do you really not wish to tell him why you are so close to him? Don’t you want him to know why you help him so much?" The Butler of Shu asked abruptly.

"What benefit would it bring?" Shu asked.

"I feel like he is getting more used to things and getting more complacent. I sometimes feel like he treats you too casually. You should really let him know the reason so he could, ah, appreciate things more," the Butler asked.

"No, it’s fine just the way it is. He doesn’t care about money, and even without my help, I believe he could have achieved a lot of things. At first, I was stunned when I saw him for the first time, standing behind me in the line. He looked so much like him that I felt like I was dreaming. I had to work so hard to get close to him. I can’t spoil everything. I don’t want him to leave," Shu replied, shaking his head.

A sigh escaped his mouth.

"Anyway, how many people are going to be there? You know I don’t like crowds," Shu asked the butler.

"I realized that. That’s why, even amongst the board members, I have only called the ones at the absolute top. It won’t be crowded," the Butler answered with a calm smile.

"That’s good," Shu muttered as he closed his eyes.

"Sir, I had a question," The butler let out suddenly.

"Ask. What is it?" Shu asked while opening his eyes.

"When you had his sister kidnapped, why didn’t you kill her? If you had left her dead body in the house of that guy, it would have been more effective than him finding her alive there," the butler told Shu.

He was very confused about this, and he had been wondering about this reason for a long time.

"Hmm! Only that? It’s very simple. I want to achieve my goals, but I don’t want to get what I want by breaking Ryder. I don’t want him to lose his family like I lost mine. I never intended to hurt him like that. That’s why I made sure that his sister wasn’t hurt in the least," Shu answered as he smiled.

"Also, she called me brother with such a pure heart. How could I hurt her? It’s unfortunate that the plan failed, though. I never knew he would trust his best friend so much. That was disappointing to know," Shu answered as he sighed.

"It’s fine, though. There are many more ways..."
