Chapter 446: Grave

"So you buried him without the presence of his brother and sister? Because you wanted to keep it a secret?" Ryder said grimly as he stepped closer to Alem.

"I... This is what happened. I had no choice. And we followed all the proper procedures to do it. He is buried in the best place with the best of procedures. He got a proper send-off. I can assure you of that," Alem said as he continued stepping back.

"He got a proper send-off? By being buried secretly like he didn’t even exist?" Ryder inquired as he gazed in the eyes of the man as if he could see the depths of the man’s soul.

"We will tell the world. His name would be immortal in this world. I assure you. We don’t wish to keep it a secret for long either," Alem said, trying to calm Ryder down.

"I thought you were his well-wisher. But even you did it without a second thought," Ryder let out, frowning.

Alem’s back soon hit the wall with a place to move back. He looked around, wondering what he could do.

Ryder stood two steps away from him. The distance between them shrank to only one step as Ryder took another step.

"Tell me about his grave. Does it at least have his name, or you faked the name on the grave to keep it a secret as well?" Ryder asked.

"It has his name. As I said, he was like a little brother to me. I am as respectful and caring for him as you can be. It isn’t that his burial didn’t have any close ones. It had me. I did it with my own hands, not letting the corporate bastards even touch his coffin," Alem answered softly.

Knock! Knock!

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me, sir. Mister Mace is here for you. He says it’s urgent. Should I send him inside?" A female voice sounded from outside.

Ryder gazed back towards the door before he shifted his focus back to Alem.

"You did wrong. You did very wrong..." Ryder muttered softly as he gazed at Alem one last time before he turned back and left.

He opened the door and left the office.

As he stepped out of the office, he saw a woman standing outside.

"He is a little busy. Give him a few minutes to breathe. He would call you inside," Ryder told the girl before he left.

Alem watched the closest door, frowning.

He released a mouthful of breath as he sighed. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief now that the crazy mad had left.

He walked over to his chair and sat down to give his legs some rest. His eyes fell on the table that was lying in front of him. The table was already in pieces. Alem knew that he could press charges in Ryder, but he didn’t for many reasons.

"Wait a few minutes. I’ll be outside. Have Mr. Mace sit in the conference hall. I’ll meet him there," Alem called out, without giving the girl permission to enter.

"Yes, Sir," The Girl called out from outside the door before she left.

Ryder left the headquarters of Dream Corporation, knowing full well that all his relationship with Dream Corporation was gone now. He didn’t care, though. He hasn’t used the name or influence of Dream Corporation for his business. He didn’t even borrow any money, so he didn’t care about Dream Corporation.

He was just somewhat upset because Shu was gone. This news came out of nowhere. Even though he had some bad feelings about what might have happened, he would never have known that Shu was actually dead.

All the memories of their past interactions played in his head, from the moment they met to the moment they separated.

Alem walked over to the window of his office and looked outside. He could see Ryder stepping inside the Cab.

"I’m sorry. But this was something I needed to do," he muttered.

Ryder stepped inside the can and told the driver to take him to the graveyard.

The Can took only a few minutes to reach the graveyard. Ryder paid the cab driver before he stepped out. The cab zoomed off into the distance while Ryder gazed at the large metallic door of the cemetery.

He walked towards the door and stepped inside the graveyard after pushing the doors open.

As this was a graveyard that was reserved for the high profile and rich people, there were not many graves inside the place. There were only about a hundred graves that could be seen in this place.

Ryder stepped forward, trying to find the grave of Shu.

He checked over thirty graves before he managed to find a tomb with Shu’s name on it.

The tombstone had Shu’s name and a few vague words on it.

[Schumacher Maxwell]

[A man who changed the world for the better and left too soon]

"Left too soon, huh," Ryder muttered as he sighed. That’s certainly the truth. You left too soon," Ryder muttered as he read the words on the tomb.

He dropped down to his knees before the grave.

"We had so many things. You idiot, why did you have to be in such a hurry to go to heaven? You didn’t even submit the ring of Lexia. Do you know how annoying it is to have a pending quest? And we haven’t even opened our guild yet. How shameless of you," He let out softly.

"How can I handle the guild alone without you. You lazy ass! You knew it would be hard work, so you left, isn’t that right? You didn’t even think about what would happen to Alice? You are lucky that you aren’t here, or I would have beat your ass up myself for this," he said as he punched the ground.

He closed his eyes as he sat there in the grave. After about five minutes, he opened his eyes.

"Leaving all the complainants aside, how are you?" Ryder asked softly. His eyes were red already, but there wasn’t any wetness in his eyes.

"I heard heaven is a good place. You must be enjoying that place, right? At Least you get to reunite with your parents..." He let out softly. "Unlike me."

’I can’t even think about dying because of this thing. Forget about meeting my parents in heaven; I don’t even know how this thing would work with time revival when I’m old. I must say, a little part of me is jealous of you as well,’ he thought as he gazed at the bracelet of immortality in his hand.

"You have worked so hard for your company since you were young. You can finally rest. Alice would really be upset, though. I don’t think I can tell her about it either. Let’s see if I can," he muttered.

He gently touched the ground before he stood up. "Alright, I took a lot of your time. You can rest now."

With slow steps, he started leaving. It took him much longer to leave than it took him to come here. His feet were getting much heavier right now.

He soon reached the gates of the graveyard and stepped out of the place. Taking another cab, he left.

He didn’t know that there were cameras all around the graveyard, and one of the cameras had transferred the footage of him visiting the cemetery to someone’s phone.

A person was sitting in a properly lit room with the phone in their hand, which showed the footage of Ryder visiting the grave.

A smile formed on the person’s face as they saw it.

"I knew you would come after knowing. You were much faster, though..." That person muttered as they closed the screen on the phone. His voice was that of a man.

"Sir, how long are we supposed to wait?" An old man stood behind the man, asked him.

"A little longer. Soon it would be time," the man answered softly. "We have all the time in the world anyway. We don’t need to be in a hurry."

"Wouldn’t it be bad if this news is out in public?" the old man asked.

"It wouldn’t be out. Even if it’s out, I will handle everything." The younger man answered.

Back in the FBI headquarters, people were still trying to find who killed the Director with another man.

A door opened slowly as a person entered in a office.

"Mam, we have located him. His car was found at the bottom of the cliff, and its condition wasn’t good. It seems like the car caught on fire as it fell down. We also found some remains inside the car, but the body is in very bad condition. Only ashes remain mostly. I doubt we can get any information from it," the man informed the woman who was sitting on the main chair.

"No need. Now I am completely sure it wasn’t his work alone. It’s a bigger net," the woman replied.
