Chapter 369 - 365: Adrian's Destination
Ryder came back, smiling wryly.
"You sure?" He said, giving the cone to Keia.
" Yeah," Keia said, smiling as she took the ice cream cone from Ryder.
The two of them ate Icecream while Saelyn and others parked their SUV at some distance so as not to disturb them.
After finishing up, Ryder asked Keia, "Where would you prefer to go next?"
"It's your city, and you're the host today. It would help if you decided," Keia replied as she smiled.
" I don't go out much, and I don't know what girls like. I've only been to movies, dinner, and amusement parks," Ryder asked her as he sat back inside the car.
" Let's go shopping. Buy me some gifts," Keia chuckled, sitting inside the car.
"You don't need me to buy anything. You're a rich girl. Moreover, the wallet you stole should have enough money to buy expensive things," Ryder let out, looking at Keia with an amused smile on his face.
"Hmph! Not only yours, but you know when I steal from others as well. Are you even a human?" Keia said, bringing a purse out and placing it on the dash.
"He tried to stop me when I was leaving that Casino with you. I couldn't stop myself from taking his purse," Keia replied as she smiled wryly.
"You're quite an interesting girl, you know. You have a talent that a lady of a rich family shouldn't since you never lacked money. How did you learn to steal?" Ryder asked as he took the car towards the Shopping Complex.

While Ryder was roaming through the city, Adrian Balakin was standing in front of a house.
He looked at the paper in his hand and then at the house in front of him.
"Excuse me. Is this house the right address?" He asked a nearby person as he showed him the address written on the paper.
"Yeah, this is right. That's the house," the person answered Adrian as he pointed at the house.
" Good," Adrian muttered as he started walking towards the house, which happened to be the house of Ryder Flynn himself.
He stood in front of the door and knocked on it. Despite waiting for quite some time, the door wasn't opened.
"Is no one inside?" Adrian muttered as he frowned. He turned the doorknob to test if the door was locked; however, it wasn't. The door opened easily.
He stepped inside Ryder's house.
With slow strides, he searched each of the rooms but didn't find anything. There was nothing inside the house as well.
The house was completely empty. There was no luggage, either.
Adrian didn't know that the people inside the house had shifted to Shu's Estate.
"Did they shift?" Adrian muttered in confusion before he left the empty house. He walked over to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door.
"Can you tell me what happened to the people who lived in that house?" He asked the person who opened the door.
"Those people? They left this place. I am not sure if they sold the house or not, but they definitely took the stuff over a week ago. The house should be empty now," the neighbor of Ryder replied.
"Do you know where they went or any contact information of them?" Adrian asked the person.
" I don't know anything. They might have left the city. The owner of the house apparently got rich. I wouldn't be shocked if they went to the New Capital where most of the rich live," the neighbor said before he went back inside the house, closing the door.
"New Capital? That new city?" Adrian muttered as he looked in the distant horizon.
"Where are you? How do I find you? Should I go to him for help? Or should I call back home and have them hack this country? That would be annoying to handle, though, all for an address," he sighed as he sat on the steps in front of the house.
" I hate this country stuff. All this politics on an international level. Why the fuck do I even need to care about that. I'll do what I want!" He thundered as he brought his phone out of his pocket and called a number.
"You have been blocked from calling outside the country as long as you're here. Please contact the authorities for more information."
As Adrian called, he heard a female pre-recorded message telling him that he couldn't call outside.
"This annoying government! Do they really want me to go on a rampage here? Blocking my calls?" Adrian frowned as he stood up.
" Can the really be this stupid? Or is this the work of the guy who rules this place from the shadows? Is he upset that I broke the treaty to come here and entered his land? He is so troublesome! I know I killed his men, but did he really need to do that?" he continued as he started walking.
As Adrian was walking, he suddenly remembered something as a smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, right! I have another phone that I took from that guy. Heh, let's see how you block that," he muttered.
Bringing his hand inside his pocket, he brought a phone outside.
The phone happened to be the one that he took from the person who was following him.
He dialed the number with Russian Code.
"You have been blocked from calling outside the country as long as you're here. Please contact the authorities for more information."
"To hell with them!" Adrian thundered as he threw the phone on the ground.
As Adrian roared in anger, the ground around him started shaking as cracks started developing on the concrete road.
"Those Bastards must be tracking me using satellites! They aren't blocking my number from calling outside the country, but they are blocking every Phone that's in the same region as me! Those annoying trashes! Do I really need to take a trip to the White House? That Draco and Itsuki will get on my head about international integrity if I do that! Ahh! It's so annoying!"
Adrian walked in frustration as he crushed the paper in his hand.
"He looks annoyed. Is he cursing someone?"
While Adrian was walking in frustration, inside Japan, one of the Seven, Itsuki, was watching him on his laptop using the Japanese Satellite that was tracking Adrian.
Not only the Japanese Satellite, but the British Satellite and the Chinese satellite was also tracking him, keeping an eye on his every move.
The American satellites were also on his back, keeping an eye on him.
