Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 98: Rich?

Ryder entered the room after opening the door and saw Miyali inside.

"Sleeping?" Ryder muttered as he saw her on the bed. She seemed as if she was in a deep sleep.

Ryder left the room and closed the door behind her.

"She'll be staying here as a guest but not a prisoner. If she wants to leave, let her leave. I'm going back to my room for now," Ryder told Miku before he left.

He entered his room and closed the door before he logged out.

Waking up in his room, he removed the Divinity Glasses and stood up.

It was 6 in the morning as he got up and left his room as he was starting to feel hungry.

As he walked into the kitchen, he saw Alice standing there, making breakfast.

"You're up so early today? Did you die in the game or something?" Alice asked Ryder as she glanced back at him.

"Hey, it's not the first time I woke up early," Ryder replied.

"Oh? When was the last time you woke up so early?" Alice asked as she laughed.

Ryder opened the fridge and took a bottle of water, and drank a sip before he replied.

"It was just yesterday! I woke up at a similar time for our dat... I mean for our shopping,"

"Didn't we plan for 9 in the morning? Why did you wake up so early for that?" Alice asked in surprise.

"I... Oh right, you're going to college today, right? How about I drop you off?" Ryder asked as he changed the topic. He found it embarrassing to say that he was excited about it, and that's why he woke up so early.

"There's no need for that. I don't want to trouble you, and if I go to college in such an expensive car, it would just attract unnecessary attention. I'll take the bus like always," Alice replied as she served breakfast on the table and sat on a chair.

Ryder also sat down on a nearby seat.

"It's no trouble. I also need to go out; I'll drop you off. Also, when you're free, maybe I can teach you how to drive as well? We can get you a car you like, and then you will be able to take the car to college in the morning," Ryder suggested.

"That... Alright. I'll learn to drive, but I don't need a sports car. Don't you dare to bring a new sports car as a surprise. I like cheaper cars as they will attract less attention, so you can't buy any car without my permission. You must promise that you won't do that!" Alive said in full seriousness as she glared at Ryder.

"Hahaha, alright. I promise. We can have another day out when it's time to buy you a car. But that's all in the future. For now, I'll drop you off at school," Ryder told her.

Alice nodded her head. They finished their dinner and left the house. Ryder walked to the parking and got in the car with Alice, and got the car on the road.

The University Of Dreamers was one of the top 3 Universities in the city. It was a private university that was owned by the Dream Corporation.

Many people in the city dreamed of getting accepted into the University of Dreamers. It was a dream for many, as the graduates of the University always got high-level jobs.

The University was also dubbed as the university for the rich. Its fees were so high that kids from poor households could not afford it, but the university did give out scholarships to exceptionally talented kids.

Alice was one of those rare people that got the full scholarship from the University.

"Yo Kaylee, did you get a new car? The car looks amazing," a red-dressed girl said to a blonde girl that had just stepped out of her car.

"Yeah, It's not something that I wanted, but I received it as my birthday present from my father," the blonde girl replied.

"Amazing, that car should be worth a million dollars. I wish I had a father like that; my dad only brought me this 60k dollar piece of crap," the red-dressed girl responded.

"Your car is decent enough for the position of your family. It's not like your family owns a big company like the Dream Corporation," The blonde-haired girl responded.

"On that note, I heard a rumor that the owner of the Dream Corporation lives in the city. Do you think there's any truth to that?" the red-dressed girl again asked.

"Don't be stupid. Someone as big as he won't live in the second tier City. He must be enjoying his life in the first-tier cities or on his many personal Islands. I don't think any billionaire lives in our city. I wish my father was a billionaire as well. I would be satisfied if he had even 1% wealth of Mr. Maxwell," the blonde girl replied.

"Hmm? Isn't that the new model Whirlwind? I haven't seen that at University before. Did someone get a new car?" the red-dressed girl said as she noticed a beautiful car coming towards them. It stopped near them.

"Alice? Isn't she supposed to be poor?" she let out in shock as she saw Alice step out of the car.

"Don't be shocked. She's not bad looking. She must've found a sugar daddy for herself," the blonde girl, Kaylee responded.

"Bye, brother!" Alice said to Ryder before she started walking away from the car.

"Brother? Her brother is rich?" the red-dressed exclaimed loudly.

Even the frown of Kaylee had gotten deeper.

"She hid herself quite well. She must be from a rich family as well," Kaylee muttered as she watched the car leave the campus.

"Should we try getting closer to her? I'm quite curious about her family now," the red-dressed girl asked Kaylee.

A Ferrari Whirlwind stopped before the Delirium Arena. It was a place where Ryder won 3.75 million dollars in horse betting.

"I need to get some more money, but this can't be what I do all my life as it would just be too suspicious. I'll get some money here one last time and then use my powers more efficiently to build a business empire of my own," Ryder muttered as he walked out of his car and walked towards the Delirium Arena.

Ryder entered the place and started watching the race. After 40 minutes, he reversed the time and placed his bets on the winning horses. He intentionally bet on the wrong horse for the first race to avoid some suspicions, but he won all other bets.
