"Alright, Master Jameson. It looks like I can't meet you tomorrow. Enjoy your life for a little longer,

" Ryder muttered as he looked at the ticket confirmation notification on his phone.

His flight was at 11 o'clock in the morning. Since he received this call, his mind had been diverted to this topic. His mood was also calmer.

"I would have just gone to Divinity, but it's not good either. The guardian of the Valley of wandering Soul would be twice as strong at night. It would just be extra effort wasted for nothing. No need to be in a hurry,

" he muttered as he stood up.

He picked up the key of his car and left his house since his plan to be lazy wasn't working, and he had no alcohol at home.

He entered his car and drove it towards the nearest bar.

As Ryder's car raced towards the nearest bar, another car passed by his car in the opposite direction. The person that was sitting on the passenger seat was the same guy that Ryder had attacked first in the Bowling Alley. He was the least bit injured.

They were just coming back from the hospital. He wasn't even admitted, but the other two guys were still in the hospital.

The person that was sitting beside him was the boss of the Dark Dragon Gang.

"Boss, the one that beat us up was in that car!

" The man let out.

"You sure?

" The boss asked the man.

"I am a hundred percent sure. He is the one,

" the man replied.

"Good. Let's see who dared to offend us even after knowing our name,

" the man muttered as he turned his car back and started following the car of Ryder. He also called his other men and told them to track his phone and come prepared.

Ryder looked in the back mirror and noticed the car following him.

"Good. I was just getting bored. Just to be sure about them, I should take expert advice,

" Ryder muttered as he used a voice command to call Esmi.

"You finally decided to call me, huh! After ignoring my calls for so long,

" Esmi snorted as soon as she picked up the call.

"I'm sorry about that. I was in a bad mood because of some things that happened. I put my phone on silent and slept. It had nothing to do with you. I just checked the calls and decided to call you,

" Ryder replied to her.

"Why did you call me?

" He asked her.

"Forget that. It is not important anymore. By the way, what spoiled your mood that much?

" Esmi asked Ryder.

"Someone made me angry. I'm fine now. Anyway, Do you know anything about the Dark Dragon Gang?

" Ryder asked her. This was the main reason he called her for.

"The Dark Dragon Gang? Yeah, they are like our low tier subordinates, I guess. Did they do something to you?

" She asked him.

"Well, three of their men attacked me, and I beat them up. I think some of them are following me. I wanted to see if they worked for you,

" Ryder let out as he focused on the road.

"Let me give them a call. They won't dare to go near you anymore, Esmi replied.

"Wait. Don't interfere. I am in the mood to beat some people up today. Don't spoil the fun. Let me have fun today, then you can get them in line,

" Ryder rejected her offer.

Ryder didn't want her to help him right now as he would lose the opportunity of farming the Experience points in the real world. He didn't want to see this opportunity go to waste.

"You do know that they have guns, right? It's not a joke. You will get harmed. I'm calling them. You can have fun in other ways. It would be bad if things get out of control,

" she muttered as she shook her head.

'That's true as well. I guess I should've thought of it. Now that I told her that I'm taking on those men, I can't kill them. And I can't expose my healing powers and let them live. This thing is annoying,' he thought.

"Alright. Call them then,

" Ryder finally gave up. He wouldn't have minded if he hadn't talked to her. He would have lured them to an empty place and collected his exp, but the plan was spoiled now.

Esmi disconnected the call and called the number of Mark, who was her second in command in this place and the one that handled the matters of this city for her. She was actually from a different place and came here for a few weeks to see if their operations were flowing smoothly or not.

****

The person that was chasing after Ryder in his car got a call suddenly.

"Ah, Yes, boss.

"

"No, Boss.

"

"Of Course, boss.

"

"I understand, boss. I won't do anything to him. If I had known his reach would be so high, I wouldn't even think about him.

"

The call was disconnected.

The man called other members of his gang to tell them to come back. He also turned back his car and stopped following Ryder.

Ryder glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that the car had turned back.

"She worked quite fast,

" Ryder muttered as he shook his head.

He ignored whatever had happened and focused on the road.

Soon, Ryder reached the Bar. He parked his car before he entered the Bar.

He stepped towards the bartender and sat on an empty table nearby.

"Get me an Old Fashioned,

" Ryder told the bartender who nodded in affirmation.

"Not many people drink that nowadays. I'm glad to find someone who likes it as well,

" A woman said as she sat on the nearby seat.

"Make that two. I need one as well,

" She told the bartender.

Ryder looked towards the woman who looked like she was in her early 30s. She was dressed in a white suit and looked like a professional.

"Isn't this too soon for professionals to come to a bar?

" Ryder asked her as he looked at his watch. It was 4 in the afternoon.

"Bad day at work. I left early,

" The girl let out with a wry smile on her face.

"What happened?

" Ryder inquired out of curiosity.

"Lost a big deal. It sucks,

" the girl replied.

"Can't say that I can understand. Sounds like boss problems,

" Ryder let out as he shook his head.

Even though he was also technically an owner of a registered company, that was mostly in name at the moment. Things haven't gotten on tracks yet for him, but he knew that his ride was going to be easy because of his knowledge.
