Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 362 - 358: Unaware



"I don't get it. Why do you wish to buy our Company? I established this company, and even I don't see how I can turn this around, yet; not only do you want to buy ACL, but you also want to keep me at its helm? Why?" Herriet asked Ryder as she frowned. 

" That's because I have faith. You might not know how to turn this around, but I believe I can after the merger. Even if it's a failure and I lose my money, I can still do this for a friend. As for keeping you as the CEO, you're the perfect choice since this company is a result of your dream. You started it and brought it to where it is. I need people like you to handle the Aviation Branch of Dream Corporation. With my help, money, and corporation, along with your experience, I believe the both of us can reach greater heights," Ryder told Herriet as he smiled confidently. "So, do you agree?"

"Huh, if you say it like that, how can I disagree? Since you're putting your faith in me, how can I not do the same? By the way, I have never heard of Dream Corporation. Can you tell me more about it?" Herriet inquired after agreeing to place her trust in Ryder.

"That's because it's a new company that I started recently. We are a Pharmaceutical Corporation at the moment focusing on a world-changing project that should change the long-existing problem of this world. Entering the Aviation Industry is our next aim. After this, we will spread out even more," Ryder explained to the woman standing in front of him.

As soon as he said it, he noticed the calm expressions look a little uncertain.

"Ah, don't take me wrong when I say it, but you just started Dream Corporation. You might not know anything about the business world. Do you even know how much it will cost you? It won't cost a few million dollars. Despite our down phase, we still need to pay the other investors before I can sell it. Even if I sell my shares for cheaper, It would still be too expensive for you. It would cost you Four Hundred Million Dollars to buy the ACL. Do you even have that much money?" Herriet asked Ryder, worrying about his ability to be able to buy.

She didn't doubt it before since he looked that confident, but after knowing that he's a newbie in this field, she thought that he was someone who didn't know how much it might cost to buy a company.

She wondered if Ryder thought that he could buy the company for ten or twenty million dollars. If he thought that, then this deal had no chance of going forward since that would be like wasting the time of both parties.

"Don't worry. I might have started my own organization this year, but I have years of experience working with Owners of Corporate Giants. You don't believe me, do you?" Ryder asked as he smiled while looking at the woman before him who didn't express anything. 

Ryder knew that Herriet clearly didn't believe him, but she didn't want to offend him either. He had already expected that. He was actually a newbie who didn't have anything except the knowledge of the future and determination to change the future, according to him.

Herriet didn't know that, though. He knew that if he were in Herriet's place, he would not believe him either. It all sounded so incredible after all.

"I had already expected that price. Don't worry. I have the resources to make it happen. I'll pay four hundred million dollars to acquire your business," Ryder told the woman confidently.

"Sigh, if you think you can arrange that and have faith, I don't see any reason to say no. I'll inform the other investors after you send the contact details. We can sign the day after that if both sides agree," Herriet informed Ryder as she smiled.

"Sounds good. I'll send the contract," Ryder said as he stood up and turned back to leave. He opened the door, but before leaving, he turned back to ask something.

" You want to have coffee? I heard that the shop nearby sells really nice coffee," Ryder asked Herriet.

"There's a bar as well," Herriet said as she chuckled.

"hahahaha, sounds good. Let's relive our first meeting," Ryder said as he chuckled. He gestured for Herriet to follow him. 

Herriet stood up as a beautiful smile appeared on her face, making her seem even more pretty. Ryder couldn't help but think that Herriet was really pretty. With just the lightest of makeup and a beautiful smile, she looked like someone that could win anyone's heart. 

He still wondered about one thing, though. Why did he feel an electric current course through his body when he first met her? What was it that made it happen? 

Was it really what they said? He had heard a myth that when a person found his soulmate, they felt a current coursing throughout their body. He hadn't expected that it was going to be so literal. He still didn't believe that myth.

'It must be something else. There must be something else at play. Maybe it was Janus playing around with me at that time, or it might just be my hallucination. There's no way for any other reason to be behind it,' Ryder thought as he watched the woman coming towards him.

He entered the lift with Herriet.

Leaving the lift, he left the building with Herriet. The lady at the reception saw it and smiled. She was happy to see her boss seem happy after a long time. She hoped for that happiness to last for an eternity.

Not only her but all others also liked to see their boss happy. Everyone in ACL loved their boss. They were all sad that the company was going through this terrible time. Watching their boss be sad was not something any of them liked.

"Let's go in my car. It's right here," Ryder said as he glanced at his Whirlwind, which was parked right here.

"You have a Whirlwind? I use one too," Herriet exclaimed in surprise as she saw Ryder's red whirlwind. "Mine is blue, though."

She entered the car as Ryder unlocked it.

Starting the car, Ryder zoomed off in the direction Herriet told him.

Parking the car in front of the bar,  Ryder stepped out. He entered the bar with Herriet.

Another car stopped in front of the bar after a few minutes.
