Chapter 537: Tricks

The betting arena, which was always so crowded during the peak time, was completely empty.

Even the guards had left after locking the entrance.

There was only one person inside such a big arena; it was Ryder, who was waiting for the arrival of his target.

He was inside the room from where he was able to see the footage of the camera, which was keeping an eye at the entrance.

"Come on; I’m getting bored. Come fast," he said as he tapped on the table before him.

He had so much time here that he had already set up all the traps, and still, they weren’t here. He didn’t know what else to do. Everything was going according to the plan.

Ryder had already put all the pieces in place, not only with Renner but with other Kings as well that were still with Aluren.

"This is probably the most complicated target—the father of my best friend. Even though I don’t want to kill Bastion’s father, this guy is an evil man. Killing him would only rid this world of him."

"And the faster I kill this guy, the faster I can be free of the conundrum of having to face the father of my friend. Then I can focus on the important thing without any concern."

Just as he was thinking about when these guys were going to be here, he saw them.

Two people had walked inside the building. One of the two being Gander, while the other one being Renner.

"Finally, they are here!"

Ryder kept his gaze on the two through the cameras. He could see the two walking towards the office.

Gander had a phone near his ears with which he was supposedly calling someone.

As Ryder wondered who this guy was calling, his phone started ringing.

"So he was calling me."

He picked up the phone and responded, "Yeah."

"We’re near my office. How long before you get here?" Gander asked.

"Not long. Just keep him in the office for a little while. I’ll be there soon," Ryder told Gander.

Even though his voice was calm, there was a smile on his face as if he was looking forward to something.

Gander disconnected the call and continued taking Renner to the office

"That guy would be here within a few minutes. After the deal, we can try horse riding. And I really don’t go easy on you," Gander told Renner.

"I would hope so. I’ll defeat you at your best. So what if I didn’t ride a horse in months? Talent is in my bones. You will see," Renner said.

The two of them turned through the corridor and reached the office.

Using the keys, Gander unlocked the door before he stepped inside. Renner also stepped inside after Gander.

The door was closed.

Back in the surveillance room, Ryder started pressing a few buttons, with the help of which he deleted all the surveillance footage of this week. Moreover, he stopped any further recording as well before he stood up.

With big strides, he left the surveillance room and advanced towards the office of Gander as well.

He didn’t even bother covering his face with a mask this time as he walked confidently with his hands in his pocket.

He didn’t even bother dressing in a professional attire. He was still in a t-shirt and jeans.

He soon reached the office. Without even bothering to knock, he turned the doorknob and opened the door before he stepped inside.

As he entered inside, he saw Gander sitting on the second seat, whereas Renner was seated on the main.

With his entrance, all gazes turned on him, one of which happened to be of Renner, who stood up, surprised. He had recognized Ryder. They had seen his picture when they searched for him.

"Ryder Flynn! So this was a trap!"

It didn’t take Renner long to realize what was happening. Gander bringing him here, saying he was going to meet someone and the appearance of Ryder. More importantly, Gander didn’t seem shocked at Ryder’s arrival, which made Renner even more sure that this was a scheme.

"You’re right. Albeit you’re a bit too late," Ryder said as he looked at his watch.

He had planned everything, and he had started a timer when Renner entered the office. And now that timer was going off, beeping.

"Yo-"

Furious Renner took a step towards Ryder, but before he could even finish one step, he dropped to the ground with a pale face.

Gander was confused as to what happened, but he soon realized as he felt his entire body ache. His face turned pale as he realized that he couldn’t control his body. His mouth also twisted as he failed even to speak.

There was only one thought in his hand. He was curious as to what Ryder had done? Is this some kind of paralysis? He had this kind of ability as well? And even if he did, why did he use this on him as well? He was on Ryder’s side! There was no need to paralyze him.

As he was wondering why he was harmed, he realized something.

’It’s not that he used this power on both of us! He did something to this office! That’s why both of us were affected. Did he drug us? I didn’t smell anything strange or felt anything. It was all so sudden!’ He thought, amazed at the tricks of Ryder.

This guy, he was really cunning. Is this how he killed the other king as well? Until now, he had been thinking that Ryder was as strong as a King, and that was why he was able to kill one, but now he realized that there were more possibilities to it than just that.

"I apologize for using such tricks, but I wanted to save time. I have eleven more kings to kill after you as well. Can’t waste much time here," Ryder said, smiling as he stepped closer to Renner. "After that, I also have to kill your leader too."

Renner’s eyes opened wide in shock. They were right. This Ryder Flynn was that masked person who killed their partners and spoiled so many schemes! And now he was planning to kill them all?

If Renner wasn’t paralyzed and he could speak, he would have laughed at Ryder for thinking that he could kill their leader.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t even move his lips. He could only watch with his eyes that had also started turning red.

"Now, before the effect of this thing falls, let me end this," he said as he brought out a knife.

"I know you guys heal from bullets. And I don’t want to waste the special bullets. They require a lot of points to buy. So I’ll have to do with slicing you up. Please forgive me for being so hard on you despite your indirect relationship to me," He said.

"Oh right. If there’s a next life, you either try to be a good guy or be born as far away from Bastion as possible."

Gripping the knife firmly, Ryder slashed down, finished everything.

He didn’t like killing like this as this felt like he was an animal, but the situation demanded it. Even though he hated it, he didn’t stop.

And thus, Another King was killed. This time much easier than last time.

Ryder placed the body of Renner in his inventory before he walked back to the chair and started resting.

He wanted to absorb the energy of Renner right away, but he decided to wait since he didn’t want to do it before Gander. Moreover, he didn’t want to kill Gander. He still had more uses for this guy.

Ryder placed his hand under the table and started grazing his fingers over it as if he was trying to find something.

"Here it is," he said as he found what he was looking for.

He brought his hand out from under the table to reveal a thick paper sticker that he had placed under the table.

This sticker was an artifact that he had purchased from the store using his points.

It was known as the Godly Paralysis Sticker.

It was something that was said to be used by the gods to prank other gods when they were younger.

It was placed in a room or a closed space. As the sticker was placed, it started leaking out an invisible smoke that was impossible to be seen or smelled. The smell filled the room. And when a person smelled that simple for five minutes, their body was paralyzed.

On gods, the effects only lasted for a minute, but on humans, it lasted for over ten minutes.

Ryder had been in this room for only close to two minutes. If he had stayed for a few more minutes, he would also have suffered paralysis.

Now that the sticker was removed, its effects had stopped as it turned to dust as it was only a one-time use item.
