"Estonia, let me introduce you guys. You've already seen him before; he's the most important person to me in the whole world. Brother, this is Estonia, my old friend and one of my best friends."

Alice introduced Estonia and Ryder.

"Hello, Estonia. Thanks for helping Alice," Ryder let out as he smiled. "Please come inside. I heard that you girls were coming, so I ordered extra pizza for you guys."

He walked inside the hall and moved to the hall that acted as their dining room as well.

Ryder placed the boxes of pizza on the table.

Alice and Estonia entered the hall. They sat on the chairs and started eating.

The Tv was still on, and the news was changed. It was now talking about Divinity and the accusation on the Necrosis Corporation of partiality because of Hades.

Alice glanced towards Ryder to see his reaction. She already knew that Ryder used the name Hades in Divinity, but she wasn't sure if anyone else knew about this. She did believe Ryder, though. She believed that he didn't cheat and that this was a misunderstanding.

"Hades, huh. Amazingly, he's on tv already. Would you believe it if I tell you that I met that guy? His Character looks somewhat similar to your brother, but there were some differences. What a coincidence that his modified Avatar looks like a real person. I wonder if there is someone in the game whose Avatar looks like my real-world look," Estonia muttered as she shook her head.

Ryder looked at her with a surprised look on his face.

"You met him?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I went on a quest with him in a dungeon. I found him to be somewhat arrogant at the start, but by that end, I realized that he was not a bad person. He was definitely pretty strong, though," Estonia replied.

'So she was one of the people that Shu found. Such a coincidence, having such a link between us in the game and meeting in the real world,' Ryder thought as he shook his head.

"He was arrogant?" Alice asked Estonia in curiosity as she subtly glanced at Ryder.

"He definitely seemed to be arrogant at the start. I asked him to sell me his staff, but he refused even after I offered to pay him more money," Estonia replied.

"Do you think that he cheated?" Ryder changed the topic as he looked towards the tv.

"I am not sure. It does look like something that shouldn't be possible generally. Such a big power difference between the first and the second rank makes it even more suspicious. He or someone related to him is probably someone in a very high position of power to make it possible," Estonia answered.

"Maybe," Ryder muttered as he smiled.

*****

The FBI agent Ray was sitting in his room when he got a mail from someone.

"Good. They worked fast," Ray muttered as he opened the mail that contained information related to Ryder.

He started going through the content.

"Ryder Flynn... lost parents at a young age in an accident. Not from a rich family and just a game developer. No criminal record. Earned most of his money from betting and winning the lottery," Ray muttered. "He does seem to be awfully lucky based on what the report shows."

"Registered a company, but it's not started yet. Just what is he planning? A single game developer who couldn't afford a decent lifestyle suddenly earned so much. Although it seems like luck, something just doesn't add up. There is definitely something suspicious about him,"

"Oh, he does have some more records. He's going to sue the police?" Ray couldn't help but chuckle as he read that. "Well, I wonder how it will turn out."

He moved over to Ryder's information and found out something that made him frown.

"Dream corporation's personal lawyer is handling this case? Why? How is he related to a giant like the Dream Corporation?"

"Something is definitely not sitting right. It's like he suddenly changed one day and became someone different entirely who had everything in control. We don't have a big lead on that organization, but if he is actually the one that fought against that mysterious organization, he can help us find them. I need to convince him at all cost," Ray muttered as he clenched his fist.

He closed his laptop and fell into deep thought to come up with a plan on how to deal with this matter.

He realized that no matter what he did, Ryder wouldn't accept that he was involved. Even if Ray promised him to keep his silence and not tell anyone that Ryder was his informant, Ryder would still not believe him.

"Bullets didn't affect that person. If someone shot him and he healed, it would prove that he was that person, but I can't do that. It would be against our ethics, and it would be wrong if he weren't able to heal. I would just be hurting an innocent. Sigh, what can I do to deal with this?" Ray muttered as he held his head with his hands.

He thought for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a concrete plan.

He called the same number again.

"I got the information that you sent me. Can you try to find more? Go in as detail as you can about the last one month of his life. Every person that he has a link to and everyone that he met. You can take a day or two to collect the data, but try to be fast," Ray let out before he disconnected the call.

There was suddenly a knock on the door.

"Come inside," Ray let out, already knowing who it was.

Riya, Jacob, and Milana walked inside.

"Did you get the information about our next mission?" Riya asked Ray.

They were told that they needed to come to this place by the higher-ups, but they weren't given any information. All they were told was that Ray would get the information when they get here and that he would brief them.

"Yeah, I got that as well. Our mission this time involves someone called Jameson. He is involved in many businesses, but in the city, he is known as the owner of an Amusement Park. He will be our target this time," Ray explained.

"Why him? We are in the team that's handling that mysterious organization. Is this Jameson involved with that organization?" Jacob inquired, with a confused look on his face.

"There isn't a direct link between the organization and Jameson, but we did find an indirect link. Since we don't have any main lead this time, We'll be investigating that indirect link," Ray explained.
