Chapter 185: Awkward Situation

"Estonia is already outside. I am leaving. Breakfast is on the table. Bye," Alice said as she ran outside in a hurry with her bag.

Ryder walked to the dining table and started eating breakfast.

He was somewhat surprised at how different this version of the timeline was.

In the last timeline, he didn’t meet Alice’s friend. She didn’t take her to University either. Although he didn’t know why, he understood that something he did must have changed the timeline, and he was correct.

It was indeed something that he did, which caused this.

What Ryder didn’t know was that when he had killed the first person to complete his mission, he had not only changed the destiny of one person, but he had changed the destiny of many more.

That single mission was enough to alter the destiny of many; one of them was Estonia.

As Ryder killed the criminal in the alleyway, he saved the girl that the man was trying to force, but he also saved a man.

What he didn’t know was that in the next few days, that man had killed another guy in the last timeline. The person that the man had killed was the father of Estonia.

After her father’s death, Estonia dropped her plans to transfer into the university of Dreamers as she didn’t want to have anything to do with the city anymore.

This was why Ryder didn’t see Estonia in the last timeline.

In this timeline, however, that didn’t happen, and Estonia’s father was alive. She came to the city and transferred to the University of Dreamers. She met her old friend Alice, and that’s how Ryder was seeing her now.

Even though he knew that it was because of him that the timeline was changed, but he didn’t understand precisely how, and it was unclear if he was ever going to understand or not. It was just a fleeting thought to him that passed away.

He finished the breakfast before he stood up and left the house after locking the door.

Ryder sat in his car and opened the location of Jameson’s house on his map.

With the help of GPS, he located the area of Jameson, but he didn’t take his car in that area.

He stopped his car in the parking of a mall just outside that area and left the car.

Ryder walked towards the area, which was almost empty since it was a gated community, and not many people that stayed at home left the house at this time of the day in this place. Still, he saw a few people taking a walk. Ryder had worn the mask of BirdMan to hide his face before entering that area.

The birdman mask covered the top half of his face, and he had also worn a hoodie to hide his hair.

BirdMan was a Character that not only kids loved, but even adults did as it was a famous comics book Character that was a billionaire and fought injustice. That’s why, although it was weird to see an adult man wearing that mask, it was not that shocking. Still, Ryder tried to keep himself hidden even though he had covered his face with a mask.

Ryder stood behind a house, waiting for those people to walk inside their house. After some time, the men walked inside the house, and Ryder began advancing ahead. He could see the mansion of Jameson, which had armed guards standing at the entrance.

He didn’t want to attract their attention, so he went behind the mansion where no security was there.

The Mansion was surrounded by tall walls from all four sides, and there was only one entrance, which was from the front where guards were standing.

The walls were around five meters tall and had a smooth texture that didn’t have any place to grip. The walls also had electric wires on the top of the walls, all around to give it an additional layer of security.

There was also a camera behind the mansion, but it was a government CCTV which no one looked at for days until a crime was committed.

Ryder still acted carefully. He had not only worn a good, but he also changed his clothes to the ones he didn’t often use.

He also got some items from the system store.

One of the items was a weird pill called the Spider Human pill, which gave him strength and the powers of a spider. Ryder found it quite similar to the powers that another famous comics superhero had received.

He swallowed the pill.

The pill started taking effect, and in less than 5 seconds, he could feel himself filled with power.

His vision was sharper. He looked at his fingers and saw some sticky substance.

He placed his hand on the wall and realized that he was able to make his fingers stick on the wall. He started climbing up the wall using his fingers.

He reached the top of the wall and stopped just before reaching the electric wire. He didn’t let his body touch the wire. Instead of moving ahead, he positioned his body for a jump.

The pill had also given him the athletic ability, which helped him do acrobatics.

Ryder jumped over the wire and landed on the other side of the wall, unfortunately, as he landed there, he fell above a person that was standing on the ground near the wall.

Ryder crashed on the person.

As he realized what was happening, he was already lying above a person. His mask was still on his face, but as he opened his eyes, he saw the face of the person.

It was a girl who was looking at him in shock. The woman looked like she was in her late twenties.

Ryder was so surprised at falling over a girl that he didn’t notice where his hands were. His left hand was above the right hand of the girl, whereas his right hand was on something soft and spongy. He could feel that his fingers were submerged in the softness.

He lowered his gaze and realized that his hand was on the chest of the girl.

Ryder tried to free his hand, but he couldn’t. His hand was stuck on her clothes while his other hand was stuck on her hand, which he couldn’t free. He was shocked and lost control of his abilities that he received because of the pill.

He tried moving his hand up, but he wasn’t able to. It was like his abilities were messing up.

"Aa..." The girl was about to open her mouth to scream for help as she wasn’t able to push Ryder aside either.
