Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 657 - 653: Not Anymore

That day, every surgery or every treatment that was previously scheduled was free. No one was charged a single penny. All consultations were also given for free.

Since it was a sudden decision, it only benefited the ones who were already inside the hospital. There was no public declaration about this.

However, it still got out that Ryder Flynn had his second child and it was a son.

Since many people in this world treated Ryder like a visionary idol, they were happy in Ryder's happiness. There were celebrations everywhere, including all the countries.

The tallest building in Dubai showed the image of Ryder, congratulating him. There were also fireworks there and in many countries including China, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, England, India and many other major countries.

Many aspects of life were touched by the Divine Corporation owned by Ryder for which he was also given many awards throughout the years. But no awards could compare to the public appreciation he had received.

It was after a long time that the whole world was celebrating something at once. The last time was when his daughter was born.

Moreover, there was another thing that stood out. For some reason, a rainbow could be seen in almost every country. People associated that with the good fortune the kid was going to bring for the world.

Amelia was kept in the hospital for one more day before being discharged.

The next morning, she left the room with Ryder and the others.

There were media vans outside the hotel. Some media channel helicopters were also flying around, waiting to catch a glimpse of Ryder.

They received their wish when they saw Ryder step out of the lift on the roof with his family.

There were five helicopters waiting on the roof. Ryder and his family stepped inside the helicopter in the middle while the guards stepped inside the other helicopters.

All five helicopters started rising in the air, leaving together.

The media houses kept their cameras on the helicopter of Ryder, talking about how he was leaving the hospital with the young prince now.

"As you can see, Mr. Ryder Flynn has left the hospital. The young prince was resting in his arms. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the face since it was being covered, however it appeared like the little guy was asleep."

"Mr. Shu Maxwell, known as the king of weapons and the longtime friend of Mr. Flynn was also seen leaving with him. You're watching it exclusively on DNN. Stay tuned for more information."

...

The helicopter of Ryder landed on the helipad on the outskirts of the Shu Estate.

Unlike before, now the entire neighborhood belonged to Ryder and Shu. They had purchased all the land in the surrounding area since Ryder believed it was needed for the security of his family.

This whole neighbourhood was like the most protected location in the whole country with the private army of Shu guarding the place. No one was allowed to even get close to their mansion without permission from Ryder and the others.

That mansion was also slightly bigger now as it was reconstructed to accommodate two families accordingly. Even now, the two didn't live separately as they had stayed together for the most part of their lives. Their families lived together in the same mansion which was no less than a palace.

The kids of Ryder and Shu also grew up together in the company of a loving family.

The door of the helicopter opened and Ryder stepped out, not giving the little boy to anyone else. He carried the young kid like the most precious thing in the whole world.

Esmi and Alice also stepped out of the helicopter, followed by Shu.

The four of them walked inside the mansion which looked similar to how it looked before yet completely different.

The doors were completely automatic and were able to scan the guests before opening.

After scanning Ryder, the doors opened and Ryder stepped inside with the young baby.

"Where is Janet?" Ryder asked the maid that came to welcome them.

"She is with Madam Joana in the study room," the maid answered, not forgetting to steal glances of the young boy.

She had already heard the news and knew it was a boy, but seeing the young kid before him was a different experience.

Ryder walked to the study room which was on the first floor.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside with the others.

Inside the room, a young woman who appeared to be in her late twenties was sitting on the ground. Near him, a young 3-4 year old girl was sitting.

There was a book before the young girl and the woman was teaching him something from the book.

There was a baby crib nearby inside which a young boy was sleeping peacefully.

Hearing the doors open, the woman stood up, looking back.

"Ah, you're all back!"

"Papa!" The little girl tried to stand up on her feet to walk to Ryder.

"Yes, little princess." Ryder stepped closer to the girl and went down on his knees. "Look who I got for you. Your little brother, Nyx."

"Nyx?" The girl looked at the little boy in Ryder's hands carefully. "Brother?"

"Yep. He'll be your best friend growing up. And also someone who'll always be there for you."

"Like papa?" Janet asked.

"Yep. Like me. We'll always be here for each other," Ryder patted the head of the little girl. "Were you studying?"

The girl nodded, still keeping her eyes on the little kid in Ryder's arms.

The dark haired woman on the other hand walked to Janus, standing beside him. "Welcome home."

"Is our little guy sleeping?" Shu asked, stepping to his own son in the crib.

"Yeah. He just went to sleep," The woman known as Joana answered. She was the wife of Shu.

"You all must be tired. I'll get food arranged. Get downstairs in ten minutes!" She said out loud. "In the meantime, you keep an eye on little Alec."

Joana left the room.

"Did you eat?" Ryder asked Janet.

Janet nodded her head.

"Good. Stay here with mother. I'll be right back after putting your brother to bed."

Ryder took Alice and the little boy to their room to rest.

"Take some rest. I'll send food in the room."

"I don't need rest. I'm fine."

"Don't be stubborn. You're weak. Just stay here," Ryder responded, shaking his head.

He placed the baby who was sleeping in the crib he had purchased for the new guest only recently.

After putting the Nyx in the crib, he started leaving.

As soon as he touched the door to open it, he felt like everything had turned grey suddenly.

It was as if the world had lost all the color suddenly.

Ryder looked back, finding Alice still on her bed as if she was stuck in time.

He ran to the crib, wondering if it was the work of the kid who couldn't control his powers, but there was no kid in the crib anymore.

"You hid really well, my friend." A calm voice filled the room.. "But not anymore."
