A few minutes later, a middle-aged man and a woman walked onto the stage and sat on the chair to gamble.
"So one of them is going to be my opponent in the finale…" Rudy muttered.
As soon as the man was on the screen, the crowd went wild and began shouting his name:
"Leo! Leo! Leo!"
"They didn't shout my name like this…" Rudy turned to Maria and asked, "Is this guy a big shot?"
"Kind of. He is famous in the underworld."
"So am I."
Maria took out her phone and did something for a while before showing it to Rudy.
"Look at this. This is a ranking of the underworld."
The page contained a ranking of fame points, fan numbers, and the total worth of a person.
"I am in the top seven…" Rudy muttered as he scrolled down.
"No one has ever been able to break through the top 10 in the last 3 years, while you managed to do it in such a short time," Maria stated with a smile on her face.
"Where are you?" Rudy scrolled further down and found Maria's name at #27.
"Even the top 50 is considered famous, you know?" She pointed her finger at the phone and said, "Ruby is top 9, and brother Rusher is top 10."
"Where is this Leo guy?"
"He is in the top 4."
Rudy opened the profile of the number 1 and hummed in amusement.
"How do you read this name?" he asked Maria as he tried to read, "Hiem Lu Bela?"
"Everyone calls him or her Bella."
"You don't know the gender of this person?" Rudy asked with a surprised look on his face.
Maria shook her head and said, "No one knows."
"What do you mean by no one knows? You can easily know it by looking at the person's chest," Rudy uttered while pointing his gaze at Maria's chest.
Maria squinted her eyes and said, "Not everyone has big breasts. Some girls are flat."
"Yeah, but they can't be as flat as a chopping board. And then there is a voice too. You can know…" Rudy shook his head with a sigh and muttered, "Nevermind. I forgot I was mistaken for a girl just by my long hair."
"Most people think Bella is a girl because of how beautiful she looks."
"Where is this person right now?"
Maria shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I forgot to mention that she is the heir of the strongest syndicate in the underworld and also the enemy of the Ross syndicate."
"Oh~" Rudy hummed in amusement and asked, "Please tell me she is also taking part in these tournaments."
"She probably is."
"Nice!"
Maria puffed her cheeks and remarked, "You look awfully excited to meet the enemy of our syndicate."
"No. I am excited to gamble with her." Rudy cracked his fingers and uttered, "If I defeat her, I will be the next top 1."
"Still…" Rudy looked at the fame points and said, "The difference between each rank is too much. Do you think I can enter in the top 5 today?"
"I don't think so." Maria zoomed in on the page and tapped her finger on the screen before saying, "You need one hundred thousand points to surpass the number six and a total of five hundred thousand points to surpass the number five. You might enter the top five in the next tournament, but not today."
"What if I manage to do it today?" Rudy asked with a confident look on his face.
"That would be amazing, I guess?"
"No, you will have to give me a reward."
"Sure. What do you want?"
"What can you give me?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.
"Umm…" Maria's face flushed a little as she muttered, "I can… let you touch my boobs."
'So innocent…'
"I want to suck them too," Rudy uttered with a straight face.
"What?!" She whispered violently with an even more flushed face. "But… okay."
"I am all fired up now."
"Wait…" Maria grabbed Rudy's arm and asked, "What will you do if you don't manage to get into the top five today?"
"Err… I will let you suck my dick," Rudy said jokingly.
Maria puckered her lips and nodded, "Okay."
"Wha…" Rudy facepalmed himself and muttered, "Now this is bad. Should I enter the top five today or not?"
"You can enter the top five anytime," Angelica said. "I personally think getting a blowjob would feel much better than sucking her tits."
Rudy lowered his gaze to look at Angelica, who was enjoying the lap pillow from him. Then, he touched her breasts and squeezed them while he pondered.
"Actually…" Angelica licked her lips and said, "Getting my boobs massaged does feel good. So if you want to pleasure Maria, enter the top five. And if you want 'her' to pleasure you, don't enter the top five."
'I am a man, so I will pleasure the girl. But regardless, what Maria said is true. The difference in the ranking is too much, and it's somewhat impossible for me to climb two ranks.
However, what if the upper rank falls down?'
Rudy smirked from the corner of his lips and uttered, "And guess who is falling down today."
"Hmm?"
Rudy turned to Maria and said, "You better get your boobs ready for me."
Leo and his opponent— Kate's match, had already begun. They were playing a card guess game where fifty different pairs of cards were turned upside down after showing them to the players for one minute.
After that, the player took turns flipping the cards and getting the right pair. The turn would continue unless either of them gets the pair wrong. Once that happens, the opponent will flip the cards until the same happens.
Suppose, Leo flipped ten pairs of cards and got the eleventh pair wrong, he would get ten points on that round. Then if Kate flipped eight pairs of cards and got the ninth pair wrong, she would get eight points.
Just like that, they would continue until all the cards were flipped, and the one with the most points would be declared the winner.
It was a simple game that needed a sharp and collective memory to win. However, Rudy had come to the conclusion that both Leo and Kate were cheating.
