" You know what to do," Ryder muttered subtly.

His words made people confused. Just where was his confidence coming from? Did he really think that he could push around the Demon Realm so much and take someone that wanted to protect so easily? Prince Asmadeus and the Death Envoys couldn't understand Ryder's thinking at all. 

"Now," Ryder muttered casually as he snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, the roof of the room was broken as one of the High Dukes barged inside. It was none other than the strongest High Duke, High Duke Magna.

High Duke Magna had entered the promise of the discussion hall, breaking every wall in between. Right as he entered, he went after the Death Envoys that were surrounding Elisia.

Another wall was broken as High Duke Mila arrived in that place as well. 

She flew towards Elisia. She punched the barrier that was surrounding Elisia, breaking it instantly.

"Time to leave," She told High Duke Magna after she got a hold of Elisia.

High Duke Magna teleported beside High Dike Mila and caught her hand. He also caught the hand of Elisia and disappeared as he teleported away.

High Duke Oris also held Ryder and Rale's hand as he disappeared.

Only Prince Asmadeus, the Vampire King, and the confused Death Envoys were left behind.

"Well, that was surprising. I must say, he even shocked me. This Prince Hades is really interesting," The Vampire King muttered as he smiled.

" Since there's nothing left here, I'll take my leave as well. It looks like I'll have to go to Demon Realm to interrogate Elisia,"  he added as he casually left the Royal Palace.

Prince Asmadeus was still sitting on his throne. He clenched his fist.

"We'll catch them," The Death Envoys said as they got ready to chase after them.

"Don't bother. They used their Teleportation. They should already be back in the Demon Realm now. They'll hide Elisia as well. It wouldn't be plausible to get her back. This Prince Hades, he really is bold," Prince Asmadeus muttered as he stood up.

Ryder, Rale, High Duke Mila, Elisia, High Duke Magna, and High Dike Oris appeared back at the Devilia's Palace back in the Demon Realm. 

"I'll go back to bring Eston back," High Duke Magna said as he disappeared again.

After a few seconds, he appeared again with a tired-looking High Duke Eston.

High Duke Eston saw Elisia and smiled.

"Well, looks like this crazy plan worked," He muttered as he smiled.

" You made us go through so much. I'll be keeping you in my space prison. Enjoy the isolation,"  he told Elisia as he sent her to his Spatial Prison in the meantime. He wasn't sure if the Death Envoys would chase after them, so he took protective measures.

Two hours ago, 

Ryder had just left Devilia's Room after the intense lovemaking session, and he had planned to meet up with other High Dukes before he left for Death Domain when he thought about something. He was second thinking about his plan of getting Elisia back, so he came up with a better plan.

"High Duke Oris, I have a different plan. I think that it would be better and easier if all of us go, but we can't let the Vampire King know about it. I still can't completely trust him. Please contact High Duke Magna," Ryder told High Duke Oris.

After that, Ryder told High Duke Magna everything, including the plan.

He had come to know that High Duke Oris and High Duke Magna were the only ones that could use the long-distance Teleportation, and each of them could take two people with them.

His plan was that he would go to the Death Domain with Rale and High Duke Oris and go to the Royal Palace.

And twenty minutes after his leaving, High Duke Magna will enter the Death Domain with High Duke Eston and High Duke Mila.

High Duke Eston was a vital part of this plan. His job was to coordinate between two teams using Dreimaia.

High Duke Magna's team stayed out of the Death City, and High Duke Eston used Dreimaia to form a link with Ryder, Rale, and the other High Dukes.

He acted as a hub for their conversation.  Using him, Ryder was able to give his real-time commands to the High Dukes who were staying outside the Death City to make the Death Envoys think that Ryder came only with one High Duke.  The plan was to ask for Elisia to be given to them and, if they disagreed kindly, then finding an excuse to take her forcefully.

As soon as Elisia was brought to the discussion hall, over ninety percent of Ryder's plan was already completed.

"It was fun, I must say. Seeing the shock on their smug faces. They took someone from right in front of us, and we did the same. This truly makes me feel satisfied," High Duke Mila said as she smiled after coming back from the Death Domain.

"Hahaha, yeah. We definitely showed them that they couldn't mess with us this easily," High Duke Eston added as he chuckled.

"It's all good and well, but we can't ignore the risk of their retaliation. We should get back to the Royal City. It's completely unprotected right now," High Duke Magna said in his usually grim tone. 

"I'm going first. Who wants to come with me?" he inquired.

" Your Highness, do you want to come back to the Royal City? We can cancel your visits to the Demon Realm Dukedoms," High Duke Oris asked Ryder.

"Nah, we can't do that. People are restless, still unaware of what happened. There should be many rumors going around. It's the time to get out more and show them that everything's right instead of staying in the Royal Palace," Ryder replied, shaking his head.

" You should go back with High Duke Magna. The Royal City needs protection. As for me, High Duke Mila and High Duke Eston will accompany me," He told High Duke Oris.

"Alright," High Duke Oris said, nodding his head.

"You guys should contact me if something happens. I'll be here instantly. Keep him safe. I'm leaving," High Duke Oris told High Duke Mila and High Duke Eston before he left with High Duke Magna.

"I'm going to rest in my spatial realm since I'm tired. You guys should go rest as well. Stay on guard, though," Ryder told the High Dukes before he logged out.

This whole event about him being attacked and the aftermath had taken a lot of his time. Normally, he logged out of the game at night when it was early morning in the real world, but it had already been twelve hours over that. 

It was early morning in Demon Realm and night in the real world. Still, he knew that he needed to log out.

He hadn't taken any nourishment pill that could provide him nutrition for spending days without eating safely. He knew that his body must be very hungry at the moment since he had gone for over twenty-four hours without eating.

He didn't want his body to suffer.

Ryder logged out of Divinity.

****

It was already night in the real world, and Ryder could hear knocking on the door of his room.

He placed the Divinity Glasses in his inventory before he stood up and walked over to the door where he heard the calls of Alice.

He opened the door. 

"You're finally up. I thought you were going to spend days gaming. The butler just called us for dinner. Let's go. Elder Brother Shu is also waiting downstairs," Alice told Ryder.

"Ah, sorry. I got kind of too immersed in a quest. Just wait, I'll be right outside," Ryder told Alice before he turned back and went inside the washroom. He washed his face with warm water before coming out.

After wiping his face, he left his room with Alice.

They walked downstairs and reached the dining table, where Shu was already waiting. The Dinner was already served as well.

"Ah, brother Shu. You're here. Awesome. Come fast; the food will get cold," Shu called out to Ryder.

Ryder and Alice took a seat at the dining table. They all started eating the lavish food of Maxwell Mansion.

"Ah, brother Ryder, We are leaving tomorrow, right?" Shu asked Ryder.

"Leaving where?" Ryder asked in confusion, not understanding what Shu was talking about.

"That birthday celebration you got an invite to? Did you already forget?" Shu inquired as he smiled wryly.

"Ah, that's tomorrow? I completely forgot. It's good that you reminded me. I need to attend that," Ryder let out as he thanked Shu.

This birthday celebration was the place where he was going to get a clue about the Cultivation Family, most probably to complete the Mission which was given to him by Janus. 

"Good. We'll leave at around ten," Shu told Ryder.

"Around ten? Isn't the time to get there at twelve in the afternoon? Shouldn't we leave early?" Ryder inquired.
