Chapter 293: Miraculous Medicine
"Hmm? What happened? Ah, right. I completely forgot. I’m blessed by water, and I can’t be hurt by water like this. That is good. At Least I can practice without worrying. I just have to make sure that no one is stopping me when I do it," Ryder muttered as he looked at the water falling from the tap.
"Brother, are you fine? Why aren’t you opening the door?"
Ryder heard Alice’s voice. He opened the door of the washroom and stepped out. He walked towards the wardrobe.
"Just wait a minute, I’ll get dre..."
Ryder was about to reply that he was getting dressed when the door suddenly opened, and Alice barged inside, only to find him in his underwear and a wet shirt.
Shu also stepped inside. He had a key in his hand. It seemed like he used the master key after getting no reply for quite some time, and the door was opened just as Ryder started replying.
"Ah," Shu and Alice saw Ryder standing in his underwear and a wet t-shirt. His hand also didn’t seem bloody.
Alice ignored Ryder’s attire as she walked closer to him and held his hand close as she started observing it.
" There’s no wound. The glass didn’t stab you. It’s good," She replied as she smiled.
"Ah, that’s good and all, but can the two of you leave this room? I’m not comfortable standing in my underwear before you two. I’m still not that shameless," Ryder replied as he looked at Alice blankly.
"Ah, right. Sorry for barging in. We were worried about you. We’ll be downstairs and wait for it at the dining table," Shu told Ryder as he left the room.
Alice was still looking at Ryder’s hand just to make sure that his hands were fine.
"Are you leaving, or are you staying to see me strip as I change my clothes?" Ryder asked blankly as he looked at Alice.
"Ah," Alice heard Ryder’s words, and her face turned red as she left.
She ran outside the room, but she didn’t forget to close the door of the room behind her as she left.
Ryder chuckled lightly.
" Silly girl," he muttered as he shook his head. He opened the wardrobe to select another pair of clothes to wear.
"Ah, all these clothes are from Shu’s collection. They are nice and all, but don’t feel the same. I’ll need to go shopping after coming back from the Silva Family Birthday Party," he let out as he took a pair of shirt and pants outside.
He left the room after getting dressed and went down to the dining hall
The broken glass that was on the floor was cleaned by the servants. Ryder sat on his seat and continued dinner.
"Where were we, oh right. The Silva Clan. You have their membership card. Does that give you access to buy medicines from them?" Ryder asked Shu.
"Yeah, only the ones with the Silva Family membership card can buy the medicine from them," Shu responded.
"How are their medicines?" Ryder inquired.
"I have no idea. I didn’t feel the need to buy anything from them. I did hear a few good things about though. The Silva Clan’s medicines are said to be pretty miraculous. It is said that they can treat almost any sickness except a few terminal diseases," Shu explained.
"Oh? Interesting. The Ancient Medicines. I remember reading a few Eastern Fantasy Novels about Cultivation families that have these kinds of medicines," Ryder let out jokingly.
"Well, I don’t know much about that, but when it comes to medicine, the Silva Clan is in a really high position, but they maintain a low profile. It is said that they are very powerful, as well. I heard stories about their enemies disappearing mysteriously. Either way, it would be good not to annoy them in any way. They have the favor of many," Shu told Ryder, shaking his head.
"Are you going to a birthday party? Can I come too?" Alice suddenly chimed in.
" That is not possible. The invitation-only allows entry for two people. Shu must be one of them since it’s his invitation, and I can’t enter without him, and I’m the other person," Ryder replied, shaking his head. It was really impossible to take Alice there since the invitation didn’t leave any room for it.
If the invitation didn’t have that limitation, he was sure that he would have taken her since it was just a normal birthday party where he was going to gather some information. He wasn’t going to have a fight with them or infiltrate that would put Alice at risk, so he didn’t mind taking her, but he couldn’t.
"Ah, it’s fine. I didn’t know that. Forget that I asked," Alice replied, shaking her head.
" After I come back, how about I take you for a nice dinner instead?" Ryder suggested, which brought a smile to Alice’s face.
As he saw the happy face of Alice, he started smiling as well. There was just something inside his heart that made him happy every time he saw Alice happy.
"Oh, that’s nice. I’ll book a nice hotel for you guys," Shu chimed in.
"You don’t..."
Ryder was about to reject his offer since he didn’t want Shu to spend money for him. He wanted to take Alice out with his own money, but before he could say anything, he got a message on his phone.
"The booking is confirmed, Young Master. I’m sure Master Ryder got the confirmation notice."
The butler who was standing near Shu said as he placed his phone back in his pocket.
" You are so fast," Ryder let out as he smiled wryly.
"I’m not fast. It’s him," Shu said as he pointed towards the butler standing beside him.
"I just need to say the word, and he understands and does what I need," he added.
"Anyway, that’s just booking to the hotel. For Car, you can take the 2047 or any other car standing in the parking lot. You’re like my big brother. Don’t stand on ceremony," Shu said as he saw the look on Ryder’s face.
Ryder looked back and ultimately nodded his head.
"Anyway, what’s your level now in the game? Are you close to level 40 that’s needed for the quest?" Ryder asked Shu.
"That, yeah. I’ve finished a few quests, and I’ve been hunting, but I’ll still need some time. I would take more time before I’m able to attempt the chain quest with you. What’s your level, by the way?" Shu asked Ryder with a curious look on his face.
