novelSecret behind Parents Death
| ← Ch.144 | Ch.146 → |
Alice's mouth opened wide as she saw Misha apologize. It was just as shocking for her as seeing the Dean apologize.
She didn't believe her ears for quite some time.
"Are you serious?" Alice asked Misha.
"I seriously regret what happened, and I believe that we could start everything anew. Let's just forget all the negative past and start on a good note. We could only do that if you forgive me and don't look for revenge. Can you do that?" Misha inquired.
"I, Ah, Yes Of Course. Let's do that, " Alice let out, still looking stunned.
"Good. Can you ask your brother to drop this issue as well? I hope he doesn't go after my family for my mistakes. I'm willing to apologize to him as well, " Misha said.
"My brother? What did he do?" Alice asked her.
Misha told Alice everything her father told her.
'He did that? Is that why the Dean came to our home to apologize?' Alice wondered.
She couldn't help but be amazed at Ryder's reach. How did he gain so much power that even the Dean was scared of him? She couldn't understand. All she knew was that she was happy after knowing that Ryder had achieved so much.
"I will tell him that you apologized and convince him not to do anything like that, ' Alice told Misha.
"Thank you so much."
Misha smiled happily.
"Friends?"
Misha extended her hands towards Alice.
Alice had forgiven her, so she also reached out her hand. After shaking each other's hands, they walked back to the class.
"Let me make things clear to others as well, " Misha said to Alice as soon as she entered the class.
Misha stood in front of the whole class. She had shown her friendship gesture to Alice, and it was already accepted, but she wanted to show even more goodwill to secure her future.
"Listen, everyone!" Misha shouted.
Her words attracted everyone's attention. The noisy class has turned entirely silent.
"I want to confess something before everyone. I was wrong about Alice. I just found out about how wrong I was. Alice is nothing like I claimed. In Fact, her family is way richer than my family. Everything wrong that I claimed about her was false and my assumption. Now that I know the reality, I see how wrong I was. I want to clarify that before everyone, and I hope you will all behave properly with her, " Misha said.
Her words were very persuasive. Everyone knew how stubborn Misha was. If she was willing to apologize and admit her wrong before everyone, then that could only mean that Alice's secret family was a really big deal. That day, everyone's attitude changed towards Alice.
Not a single person had an idea of how this simple event saved someone's life from getting ruined. Not even that person themselves knew. Even Ryder didn't understand the significance of what he actually achieved from this mission.
Back in the office of the Dean, Ryder was sitting comfortably.
Suddenly, he got the notification of his Mission being successful.
[Alice received the apology. Mission successful]
[Reward Received: Open the Deity Phone to see the reward]
'Finally, the mission is finished. I wonder about the reward. What clue will I get about my parent's death? The photo of the driver?' Ryder thought.
Ryder didn't bring out his phone before the Dean.
"I'm done here. We won't see each other again. Don't tell your daughter that it was all a ploy. Also, make sure that my sister doesn't face any problems at the university. I don't want to have to come back again, " Ryder said as he stood up.
Ryder left the place and walked back to his car.
He sat in his car but didn't start it. Instead, he brought the Deity Phone out of his storage ring.
As he unlocked the phone, he noticed a notification. He had received a video.
There was no number of the sender, but there was the name of the Sender. It was sent by Janus.
Ryder started playing the video.
It was a short 3-second clip.
Ryder saw what seemed like a graveyard. A person was digging out what looked like a grave. That was all. The video finished.
Ryder didn't even see the face of the man, but he knew that the man wasn't a grave keeper. The man was wearing luxurious clothes and seemed rich.
"A grave robber? Or someone from the team that steals dead bodies that I keep hearing about? How are they related to the deaths of my parents?" Ryder wondered as he frowned.
He wished that the video was longer so that he could see the face of the man, but it was too short.
All he knew was that his parents' death had something to do with this rich-looking grave robber.
The mysterious disappearance of the dead bodies was somehow related. Previously, he didn't care for it, but now, he was getting more interested in it.
He also remembered the call he had received when he was in the Ferris wheel from someone whose number was private and hidden. That person told him to bring bodies faster for someone. He was now suspicious if that person was actually related to these body stealers or if Ryder was blowing things out of proportion because of his suspicions.
"Janus, can you explain more about this video? Anything about it? Or the identity of the man? How is this video related to the accident of my parents?" Ryder asked.
Janus didn't reply. Ryder asked again, but he didn't answer.
"Looks like you aren't going to say anything about it."
Ryder gave up as he realized that Janus wasn't going to answer. He didn't know why Janus couldn't just tell him. What was stopping this almighty existence from disclosing some secrets about this?
Ryder started the Engine of the car and drove it off into the horizon.
He reached an Interior Designer's Office and gave him the contract to handle his building, and it's furniture. Everything related to that was given to the Interior Designer's firm.
It cost him a lot of money, but it was better to have a professional do it. He explained what he wanted in detail and only left after he made sure that the man understood.
Ryder then went to the Building to meet the Spirit that lived in the building that he purchased.
He wanted to get more information about the Spirit's son so that he could plan things to finish that mission as well. Getting revenge for the spirit against the son who killed his father wasn't a bad thing, and he wanted to do it without wasting much time.
