Chapter 85: Missions and rewards
Ryder smiled as he stepped out of the car as well. This place brought back so many mories. He could see his parents laughing while he played the gas on his phone.
Just when Ryder was getting depressed, Alice held his hand as she pulled him with her. She took him to the spot under a tree where they always sat when they were on a picnic with their family.
They sat down and rested their backs against the tree as they looked at the distant horizon.
"I can’t believe that it has already been 8 years since they died in the accident," Ryder let out softly.
"Yeah, feels just like yesterday when mom left at your house in your care while she left with your parents for a party," Alice muttered.
[Ding... A mission has been issued to the host.
Mission: Tell Alice that you have kissed her on her lips in her sleep.

’That’s stupid! Now you’re copying the stories from the movies as well? Can’t you let this peaceful atmosphere be already?’’ Ryder thought with a wry smile on his face.
[It’s getting too sad for . One lifeti of sadness is already enough for , and for you,] Janus answered.
’You and your strange words. Sigh, I know well enough to know that you won’t take back the mission. I’m about to get slapped, aren’t I?’ Ryder thought.
"Ahmm, Alice?" Ryder said softly.
"Yeah?" Alice turned to look at him.
"I am going to tell you sothing, but please don’t take it seriously," Ryder said. Alice just looked at him with confusion.
"I kissed you on the lips when you were sleeping," Ryder blurted out as he closed his eyes and waited for the slap.
[Mission Completed]
"You’re joking, aren’t you?" She asked in disbelief, and Ryder simply nodded his head.
"I thought so. There’s no way you would be shaless enough to do that," Alice chuckled as she replied.
"Ahh, Right," Ryder replied before he closed his eyes and pretended as if he was resting.
[You cheated,] Janus said to Ryder.
’I followed the rules of the ga this ti,’ Ryder replied to Janus.
"I’m not joking. I did that, and I’m sorry," Ryder told her as he didn’t feel like lying to her.
Alice simply looked at Ryder for a brief mont before she closed her eyes as well. She didn’t respond.
10 minutes passed in silence.
[Another Mission has been assigned to the host.
Mission: Take Alice back to the city
Reward: Secret
Punishnt for failure: Alice will die
Ti Limit: 10 minutes]
’This one is quite weird, I must say. I thought you would give sothing difficult to spite ,’ Ryder thought as he opened his eyes.
"Alice, Let’s go," Ryder told Alice, but she didn’t react.
"Alice? Are you sleeping?" Ryder asked, but Alice didn’t reply.
"I guess she fell asleep. That was fast," Ryder muttered as he looked at the calm sleeping face of Alice.
He stepped towards her as he inserted one of his hands below her knees and another under her back as he picked her up like a princess.
’I can’t break your sleep just to complete my mission, but I can’t fail it either,’ Ryder thought as he stepped towards the car. He didn’t notice, but there was a smile on Alice’s face at the mont.
He opened the door of the passenger seat after so struggle and put her on the seat before he closed the door.
He walked back to the driver seat and started the car as he left.
Only 8 minutes had passed since Ryder left before a helicopter ca crashing down.
It crashed on the tree below, which Ryder and Alice were sitting about 10 minutes ago.

"Hmm? Why are we in the car? Did we leave?" Alice opened her eyes after a few minutes as she asked.
"Yeah, I rembered that there was sothing else we had to do," Ryder replied.
"Oh, where are we going now?" She asked.
"An amusent park. We’ll spend so fun ti there and then go to a nice place for dinner," Ryder told her.
"Oh, nice. I’m resting. Wake up when we’re there," Alice said before she rested her head on Ryder’s shoulders and closed her eyes.
They got to the biggest amusent park in the city and spent the rest of the day here as they explored the place together. None of them had even been here as this place was opened 7 years ago. A year after their parents died.
Ryder was more into the scary rides, while Alice rejected those as she was scared of heights. Ultimately Ryder gave up on them and went to more normal rides with her.
They explored the Haunted House. That was the place where Ryder saw the inner child of Alice that always looked so brave. She jumped in shock every ti sothing scary popped out. Ryder’s smile never left his face as he enjoyed every mont.
It was already evening when he left the place with Alice. He took her to the most expensive restaurant. Even the cheapest dish there was worth over $100. Ryder ordered everything that he felt would be good without worrying about money. In total, he had ordered $3000 worth of items.
"There’s no need to spend so much!" Alice told him, but he simply replied, "Don’t worry about it. It’s not like we are coming here daily."
"Did you really earn so much from your app? Why didn’t you tell before?" She asked.
"I’ll tell you more after everything’s settled. We might even be able to get a mansion if things go as I planned," Ryder said smilingly.
"I really hope that you’re not doing sothing illegal," She said suspiciously.
"Everything I do will be perfectly legal," Ryder said.
’Mostly legal,’ He added in his mind.
They finished dinner. Ryder paid the bill before they left.
A Ferrari Whirlwind E stopped before the small house of Ryder, but no one was out on the streets to see at the mont.
Ryder parked the car and walked inside the house with Alice.
"How was it? Did you enjoy the day?" Ryder asked Alice.
"Yes, It was the best day of my life. Thank you for everything," Alice said as she stepped forward and kissed on Ryder’s cheeks before she walked inside her room.
"Well, I guess I should plan more trips like this," Ryder muttered as he rubbed his cheeks before he entered his room.
