<h4>Chapter 233: The Mastermind</h4>
While Rale and the others were waiting for Ryder’s return inside the great hall of Duke Devilia’s Pce, Ryder had already logged out of the game.
Ryder woke up in the real world and took off his Divinity sses as he sat up and hurriedly got off the bed.
He started running towards the room of Alice since Janus talked about saving Alice. It meant that Alice was in danger.
If he didn’t save her in five minutes, she was going to be in danger, and one minute had already passed.
"Alice!" Ryder called out loud as he barged inside her room only to find it empty.
"Alice!" He screamed again, but the ce was empty. Alice wasn’t inside the house.
"Janus! Where is she?!" Ryder let out like crazy as he ran towards the exit of the hour.
He opened the door to see if she was outside.
Since the mission was to save her in five minutes, she must be somewhere nearby, he thought.
It was the night time in this ce, and the sun hadn’t started rising. The streets were still bright, though.
As Ryder looked around, he saw a car at some distance.
He saw Alice inside the car, struggling to free herself. It seemed like someone was kidnapping her right before Ryder’s eyes.
Before Ryder could do anything, the car started driving away.
"You bastard!" Ryder roared like crazy as he brought his gun out and shot towards the tires of the car while he ran towards his whirlwind.
There were only three minutes left before the timeline was over. He knew that if he didn’t free her from their grasp, something might happen to Alice.
Ryder fired at the car’s tires, but he missed since the car was too far away already, and he was running.
Ryder opened his whirlwind and stepped inside the car.
" Janus! I want the healing potion right now. Keep that ready. You can deduct the Origin Points that you need," Ryder let out as he pressed the race.
His car started speeding towards the BWM car that was running away.
While the BWM was the luxurious car, it wasn’t as fast as the whirlwind since the whirlwind was a sports car.
Ryder’s Whirlwind was closing in on the BWM, and soon, only a few hundred meters of distance was left between them.
Even though it all happened in a short time, they were already out of that block of the city and entering a new block.
The people in the BWM noticed Ryder closing in and started firing at his whirlwind.
A few of the bullets managed to hit the whirlwind and broke the ss, but instead of being scared, Ryder continued his feel on the race as he kept trying to hit the maximum speed he could.
Only one minute was left between the time given by Janus, and Ryder knew that he couldn’t take his time off.
He pointed his gun at the car ahead, ignoring the bullets that had hit him already.
Ryder was shot four times already. Two of the bullets were in his left shoulder. One of the bullets grazed his left ear, and another one hit his chest, but Ryder ignored all the pain as he kept his focus.
Blood was flowing out of his body, which started healing with the help of the bracelet of immortality skill that he received after he got the second bracelet of immortality.
Ryder fired a shot that hit the head of one of the men that was firing at him, but before Ryder could fire again, he stopped since he saw the men pointing their gun at Alice in order to threaten him.
"Those fucking bastards?" Ryder let out as he lowered the gun, but he increased the speed of his car and crashed his Whirlwind on the BWM.
The impact was so powerful that both the cars were damaged seriously.
Since Ryder’s car wasing in at a higher speed, it got more impact.
Ryder used this opportunity to use his special skill.
Ruler of Wind was something that he had received as he found the third fragment of the Bracelet of Immortality.
The skill allowed him to fly. He used the skill to safely escape the impact of the car crash.
The BWM back was thrashed, and the kidnappers also lost their bnce as their guns core out of their hands.
The BWM lost control and turned left. If nothing was done, the car was going to smash on a nearby house, which was enough to kill them all. There were only ten seconds left in the timeline given to him by Janus.
Ryder flew beside the car as he opened the door.
He continued flying beside the car as he caught the cor of the person who was sitting on that side and threw out the car so that he could reach Alice faster.
Ryder held the hand of Alice and pulled her out of the car as he carried her with him to the ground away from the cat.
The BWM crashed on the wall of the building while Rydernded on the ground safely with Alice.
"Sigh, saved by the second," Ryder muttered as he looked at Alice.
Alice’s head was hit on the seat ahead, and it was bleeding a little. Her vision was vague as well, but she seemed mostly fine.
"Open your mouth, little girl. Let me feed you this medicine so that you can get better," Ryder let out as he brought the potion out of the system storage that he had just purchased from the system.
He made Alice drink the potion.
As soon as Alice drank the potion, her wounds started healing. It didn’t even take a few seconds before her wounds healed. Her blurry vision also recovered as if she was perfectly fine.
"W-what was that?" She inquired in confusion as her pain disappeared like it was never there.
"It’s a miraculous medicine the scientists are researching for. I paid a lot for it," Ryder made up an exnation as he ced Alice down on the ground.
"Your clothes! The blood..." Alice let out with a concerned look on her face as she looked at Ryder’s blood-covered clothes that were covered in blood because of him being shot multiple times.
"It’s nothing. When the car crashed, a few ss pieces hit me and lightly injured me. I drank the same medicine, and I’m fine now," Ryder replied and hid the fact that he was shot.
"I’m d you’re fine," He let out as he patted her head.
"Wait here, I’ll be right back," Ryder said to Alice as he started walking away from her.
Ryder walked towards the person who managed to survive because Ryder threw that man out of the car.
ording to Ryder, the others were already dead. This man was the only person who was still alive.
Ryder stopped before the man was wriggling on the ground in pain.
He caught the neck of the man and raised him in the air.
"Let me see... My fricking expensive car was destroyed because of you. That’s nothing in front of your biggest crime of daring to kidnap someone close to me, though. How do you think I should deal with you," Ryder let out as he red in the man’s eyes.
The man saw Ryder’s eyes and felt as if a demon was looking at him who could see through his soul.
"I can consider leaving you alive if you answer me," Ryder threatened the man. "Who was the one that sent you to kidnap me?"
Ryder knew that there were a few people that he had annoyed in this world. The Uprising was one of those organizations that had the wealth and the strength to do it if they found out that Ryder was involved in their matters and destroyed their ns.
There was also a chance that someone who hated him sent the men for revenge like the Dean of the University of Dreamers. There were a lot more people who had problems with him, and he wanted to find the ones that were faster to scheme against people close to him.
"I... I... It was the Police Chi..." The man started exining with a scared look on his face, but he stopped as he saw the Police cars arriving at that ce.
He didn’t answer as he started smiling.
" You should run," The man let out as he smiled.
Ryder nced back and saw the cops pointing their guns at him.
"Ryder, release that man and put your hands behind your head. You’re under arrest for destroying public property," The Police Chief warned Ryder.
"Hahahaha."
Ryder startedughing out loud like crazy as he heard the Police Chief’s work.
"So it’s you getting your revenge by trying to harm my family to get me to take thewsuit back. Mr. Chief, I think you forgot my warning. I told you about not even looking at my family, yet you dared to scheme against my family."
