Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 127: Exposed

"Let my daughter tell you the whole story. She can explain better as she was the one who interacted with them," City Lord Feil said to Vampire General Viden.

The Vampire General looked towards the girl that was standing at some distance.

"Tell me everything. If there’s even a single lie mixed in, I will raze this city to the ground right before your eyes, and then I will kill you and your father," the Vampire General threatened the girl.

"Ah... I-i was sitting in the mansion when some guards told me about a group of 22 vampires arriving in the city. I told them to invite them as guests to our mansion..."

"... I gave them the map and showed them the Valley of Wandering Souls, and they left. Father came back later, and I told him about it. Since then, father has been in the mansion with me," the girl explained everything that happened without missing out on a single detail.

"People in cloaks and they were looking for the Valley of Wandering Souls? Did you see their eyes?" Vampire General Viden asked the girl.

The girl shook her head.

"I didn’t. Their cloak was hiding their eyes,"

"They could move like lightning, which does make them seem like Vampires, but other than me, only the Royal Guards could be so strong to do something like that. I’m sure that the King’s son won’t be coming here, so there’s no way for a Royal Guard to be here," The Vampire General placed his hand on his chin as he fell in deep thought.

"The Princess has left the palace from what I heard, but she went in the other direction, and her entourage only had 9 Vampires. How could a vampire be here with an entourage of 21 Vampires that were as strong as she described?" he muttered to himself.

"Ren left his hotel at the same time as those guys left this place. It shouldn’t be a coincidence,"

"I remember, Ren has a skill that lets him see if the other person is a vampire or not, even if the other person puts on a heavy disguise. It must be that he realized that they weren’t vampires, and he went after them, unaware of their strength," Vampire General Viden thought of a possibility.

He looked towards the City Lord and his daughter in full seriousness.

"I’m going to the Valley of Wandering Souls. You guys better pray that I find Ren or those guys there; otherwise, I’ll be back. Even if you run, I’ll find you, and I’ll kill you," he told the City Lord before he caught the hand of his daughter Halia and left.

"Father, do you believe them?" Halia asked her father as they left the Palace.

"While they were talking, I was observing them. Feil might be able to lie to me, but his daughter was definitely telling the truth. Also, the ones that have the most are afraid of losing the most. They wouldn’t try to hurt Ren when he was in their City. Feil can’t be that stupid; I believe that" Vampire General Viden replied.

Halia looked towards her father in concern.

"Are we going to the Valley of Wandering Souls to catch those guys? That place is dangerous, Father,"

Vampire General Viden heard the concern in his daughter’s voice and patted her head gently.

"We are not going; only I’m going. You’re going back home. Also, Don’t worry. From what they said, it seemed like they were going to the town outside the Valley of Wandering Souls. Most probably, I wouldn’t even need to enter the Valley," he said.

"I won’t let you go alone. Take me with you," Halia insisted.

*Sigh*

"You heard that they were strong, right? It would be dangerous if they took you hostage. I’d be defeated without fighting. Try to understand," the Vampire General said.

"I... alright. I’ll listen to you,"

Halia agreed. She realized that she might just become the biggest weakness of her father if she went with him.

Ryder logged out of the game.

It was Sunday morning, and the date when he had to take Esmi on a date to complete the mission.

Ryder took the Divinity Glasses off and placed them in his storage space this time.

He sat up and stretched his arms as he yawned.

He got off the bed and went to the washroom to take a nice shower.

After 20 minutes, he came out of the shower. He was wearing nothing, and his hair was still dripping wet, which he was drying using a towel while walking towards the wardrobe.

Suddenly, the door of his room opened.

"Wake up. Breakfast is ready,"

Alice entered his room without knocking. She thought that Ryder was still sleeping, but her mouth opened wide as she saw Ryder looking towards her, shocked.

His tower was near his head, whereas everything else was exposed right before her eyes.

"I-i didn’t see anything," Alice let out loud as she ran out of the room and closed the door. Her face was as red as a tomato.

Ryder looked down and sighed.

"What a great start to the day," he said sarcastically.

He opened the wardrobe and chose a set of clothes to wear.

He got dressed and left the room.

The breakfast was on the table, but Alice wasn’t there.

"She must be embarrassed," Ryder sighed as he sat down on the chair. He started eating.

After having breakfast, he stood up and left. He did say that he was leaving as he passed by Alice’s room to inform her.

Ryder left the house and walked towards his Whirlwind.

He could see a few children playing near his car. One of them was standing above its bonnet.

"Kids, can you get off? I need to leave," Ryder told the kids as he reached near the car.

He unlocked the car and entered inside. The kids got off his car and walked away.

Ryder started the Engine of his Whirlwind and drove away.

He had decided to meet Esmi near the Amusement Park so that he wouldn’t need to go to her house to pick her up.

As he got there, he saw Esmi’s car parked on the side.

Ryder parked his car behind her car and stepped out of his car. He locked the car and walked to Esmi’s car.

Esmi was sitting on the driver’s seat, checking her phone.

"Is he going to be late? There are only a few seconds left in the decided time," she muttered.

*Tuck* *Tuck*

Ryder knocked on her window.

Esmi looked to the side and saw Ryder standing outside. A smile blossomed on her face.
