DING!
Rusher's phone rang as he received a notification.
He read it and said, "Oh."
"..."
"The VVIP Underworld Tournament is postponed to next week because of some 'uncontrollable circumstances'," Rusher informed Rudy.
'Why do I feel like that 'Uncontrollable circumstances' is me?' Rudy uttered inwardly.
"So I will be meeting you next week then."
"That reminds me..." Rusher made a turn on the street as they left the private road and entered the city road.
"Hmm?"
"About your marriage with Maria. Are you serious about it?" Rusher asked in a solemn voice.
"Of course I am. I love her."
"Then, when do you want to marry her? You must tell us in advance so we can prepare for the wedding."
"I am honestly ready at any time. But I am sure your family will be having some issues after you tell them everything, and it will take time for everyone to accept and resolve things."
Rudy moved his hand out of the window to catch the berries from the nearby tree using telekinesis. He tasted one and continued:
"But... the most I can give you is a week. After that, whether you are ready for it or not, I will take Maria with me and marry her."
"What about Ruby, though? She kissed you in front of everyone even though I know she did to make Maria jealous; they have always been teasing each other like that."
"She didn't kiss me. I let her kiss me. Ain't no way someone can touch me without my permission, let alone kiss me," Rudy retorted. "And I am not sure about marrying her. You will have to ask her yourself. But Maria is no longer against it."
"Is that what she whispered to you before leaving?" Rudy asked curiously.
"Something like that, yes."
That was half truth. Maria had whispered, 'I will talk about Ruby later, and you have got some questions to answer, mister daddy of Lilim.'
"You know, my wife has always been a liberal mother and a wife. She also treated Maria like her own child since Ruby and Maria are of the same age. However, I can't fathom how she would react when I tell her about Ria," he muttered with a sigh and did not try to think more.
"You are mentally unstable, father-in-law. You have had several mental breakdowns, and you now seem to get them frequently, even under mild pressure.
I myself have witnessed you having mental breakdowns three times. The first time was when your father shot me, and you didn't know what to do. The second time was when I threatened you, and the third time was when you were trapped in that ball."
Rusher raised his brows and commented, "There is something definitely wrong with your definition of 'mild'."
Rudy ignored Rusher's remark and continued, "Following that, Ria has a bit of a melancholic personality. And Maria is a mixture of you both, being mentally unstable and a minute inferiority complex."
"She has been smiling a lot and acting lively ever since she met you."
"That's right. Praise me more. I don't get enough praise for my hard work."
Rusher suddenly furrowed his brows and asked, "By the way, when you asked me to drop you off, and I asked Lilim to do that, she called you 'daddy'. What was that about?"
'I saw this coming from miles away, but Rusher never asked this. I thought maybe he didn't hear it or just forgot about it, but this bastard was waiting for a perfect time to ask me this!'
"She calls me that for some reason."
"Correct me if I am wrong, but you wouldn't happen to lay your hands on her, right?" Rusher asked with a judging look on his face.
"No. She laid herself on me," Rudy started with a straight face.
"I knew it! I knew something was going on between you two when Lu Bela kept mentioning Lilim's name with Maria."
"You are overreacting a little. I mean, didn't you change to a new girl every day when you were my age?" Rudy remarked. "I am better than that. I don't throw them away like you did, and I have promised to take care of them. And before you ask, yes, Maria knows about it."
Rusher fixed the rearview mirror while saying, "I don't know what to say when you bring that up."
Half an hour later, Rusher stopped the car in front of his casino and said, "Do you mind if I stop here for a while? I need to check the daily reports as they have been pending for a week."
"How long will it take?"
"I can't say the exact time, but it will take more than thirty minutes, minimum. But if you want, I can drop you at your place and return here."
'Lilim said she needed to take a bath, so i will have some free time.' Rudy looked up at the sky to check the time and said, "It's barely 3 AM right now. I am not in a hurry. You can do your work, I will rest in the car."
"Oh, you can come inside if you want. My office has a bed, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a television, a full-speed Wi-Fi connection, and I can get your food too," Rusher suggested excitedly.
"Nah, I am good."
"Are you sure? Because I don't want my son-in-law to feel uncomfortable, even for a second."
"Well, I am feeling pretty uncomfortable right now after hearing you calling me your son-in-law," Rudy remarked.
"You can come in if you are bored here." After saying that, Rusher rushed towards the casino.
SIGH!
Rudy used the windows tight and uttered, "You can come out now, Angelica."
Angelica came out of Rudy's body and said, "You two talked too much!"
"We were having a nice conversation, come on. And besides, the same amount of time would have passed even if we weren't talking."
"...."
"So? Are you going to do something or just stare at me like that?" Rudy grinned.
Angelica unzipped Rudy's pants and began sucking him off.
Later that night, a tragedy occurred, and many lives were lost because of Rudy's actions
