<h4>Chapter 210: Fooled by a fake</h4>


    High Duke M was one of the most powerful beings in the Demon Realm, but she didn’t look like that. She looked like a girl that was only slightly over 18, but Ryder knew that it was just her looks. She was probably way older, but he knew that she hadn’t gotten married yet, which was surprising since she was the only High Duke that wasn’t married.


    There were quite a few Dukes that were single, but amongst the High Dukes, she was the only one who was still single.


    M had hair that was a lighter shade of red. Her hair was short and only came down to her shoulders, but they suited her looks.


    She also had two hornsing out of her head, but that didn’t affect her beauty in Ryder’s eyes. He had also seen her wingsst time when she was leaving, but those wings were not visible at this time.


    Ryder ced one of his hands on her back, and the other hand held her hand as they began dancing.


    "You dance really well. Not just you, but others too. It’s difficult to imagine that you guys don’t dance on asions like this. Why did you guys learn the dance then?" Ryder asked High Duke M.


    "It’s a part of the basic training on the Noble households. It’s just something that everyone needs to learn even though it has no use the same," High Duke M exined.


    "Oh. I understand it now. We also had to learn some useless things where I was born. Anyway, I have a question. Can I ask you if you don’t mind? It might be somewhat personal," Ryder asked M.


    "Personal? Are you going to ask me about my breast size? I heard in a book when I was young that males are more interested in it, but I haven’t had anyone ask me that yet," High Duke M responded with a curious look on her face.


    "Ah, that’s not it. Anyway, I can already guess why no one asked that to you. That would just be looking for death. Anyway, my question is, why haven’t you married yet. All the other High Dukes are still married, but from what I heard, you’re the only one amongst them who’s still single," Ryder inquired.


    "Why? Is there anything wrong with being single?" High Duke M inquired with an amused smile on her face.


    "There is nothing wrong with that. I was just curious," Ryder replied as he shook his head.


    "I want to live a single life. I don’t feel the need of a man in my life, so why should I care," High Duke M replied as she smiled.


    Ryder and M talked more as they continued dancing. After some time, they separated and walked back.


    "I guess I have one more dance left in me. Felina, would you like to dance with me?" Ryder asked Felina since she was the one who was left.


    The day passed away in the celebration as the drinking resumed after the dancing.


    When it was night, everyone started leaving.


    Ryder went back to his Royal Pce, and he was greeted by Miku.


    "How did it go?" Miku inquired as Ryder entered the Pce.


    " Things went good. Anyway, we’re leaving the day after tomorrow to Felina’s Duchy. Prepare for the journey. I’ll be going back to my room since I’m tired," Ryder replied as he started walking back.


    "I will prepare for that," Miku nodded her head.


    Ryder went back to his room and closed the door as he logged out of the game.


    He woke up in the real world. It was alreadyte in the day. It was the afternoon when Ryder woke up.


    He took a nice shower before he got dressed in proper clothing.


    He had purchased a satellite that didn’t leave any trace of the call behind. He had taken the number of Pasher from the phone of Jameson. He wanted to call Pasher using that while using Jameson’s voice to bring him closer to his death.


    Pasher was the father of the Spirit that was living in his office building. He had a mission to finish, which was to kill Pasher to help fulfill the revenge wish of the Spirit.


    He called Pasher using his satellite phone.


    "Who’s this?" Pasher inquired as he picked up the phone.


    "It’s Jameson. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I’m using this satellite phone," Ryder responded in Jameson’s voice.


    "What the fuck, I justnded in your city and heard that you were dead. How the fuck are you still alive?" Pasher inquired in a concerned tone.


    "I’ll tell you everything personallyter. I’m hiding in an old building at the moment. I’ll send you the address. Come to meet me. We need to solve this problem. The feds will soon find out that the body they found isn’t mine. They will reach you too if we don’t deal with this. Come fast, I’ll be waiting," Ryder let out as he disconnected the call.


    He sent the address of the building that was near the ce where the spirit was staying. He knew that Pasher wouldn’te if he invited him to the exact building since he knew that it was a haunted ce, that’s why he invited him to a nearby ce. Once Pasher got there, it was easy after that.


    Ryder took the keys of his car and stepped out of his home.


    He sat in his Whirlwind and started the car, which started driving away.


    He stopped the car near a fast food restaurant and ate something before he left and went to the building where everything was about to take ce.


    What he didn’t know was that there was someone who was tracking his movement.


    There was a tracker ced under his car, which tracked his every movement. It was unclear who put that tracker there.


    The FBI was already on the trail of Pasher since Jameson was dead, and hisst conversation was with Pasher, where they talked about some strange things which aroused their suspicions.


    They had started tapping his call. They also heard histest call and got even more confused. Their tests had confirmed that the body they found was of Jameson. Who was this new Jameson? Were they really fooled by a fake?


    Ryder reached his building and parked the car underground before he stepped out of the car.


    He didn’t go to the higher floors and walked out as he stood near the entrance of that building while he kept an eye on the meeting ce that was right before him.
