"Anyway, how did you not notice the dead bodies of the staff outside?" Rudy asked with a little annoyed look on his face, seemingly angry at Rusher's carelessness.
"It was dark. All the lights were off, so I assumed they had closed the casino as we didn't have many customers during the tournament week. And I did try to turn on the lights, but it didn't turn on," Rusher responded in an awkward manner.
"You are hopeless, father-in-law," Rudy sighed.
"I think they were here with the motive of stealing everything. They must have assumed I was at the tournament and grabbed the chance to—"
"You are wrong." Rudy interjected. "It's the opposite."
"What do you mean?"
"You weren't at the tournament today, so they would have thought you were here in the casino, alone, with no protection and customers around." Rudy furrowed his brows and continued, "They were here to kill you."
"Wow… I did not think of that."
"Seriously, I am curious how you managed to run a syndicate for all these years… uh… right." Rudy facepalmed himself and muttered, "You didn't do shit except use up all the money in their protection. It's good that there wasn't a war or something, or you would be long dead."
"Usually, the security here is tight too, but everyone has gone to the tournament to try out their luck and make some money in the underworld gambling matches that happen between the other parties."
"Yeah. But think about it, if you had dropped me off first and then came here, there are high chances that you would already be dead. Or… if I hadn't asked you to drop me off." Rudy shrugged. "I am sure you were planning to come here anyway, right?"
"Yeah, I was going to come here in the morning, but I don't think they would have changed things."
Rudy clenched his teeth and muttered, "You should get yourself a bodyguard too."
"I really should…"
Rudy took out his phone and said, "I will ask Lu Bela for one. And they are artificial humans who can't die, so you will never have to worry about a thing."
Rudy told everything to Lu Bela via a text message and asked her to send some Under Blades to Rusher's casino.
"I did the work for you. The Under Blades will take care of these bodies and find out who was behind this attack. I don't think a strong or a big syndicate would try to kill you, because if they wanted, they would have just launched a missile at your estate.
Probably an organization or small gangs were behind this." Rudy turned to Rusher and asked, "Are you planning on staying here?"
"Yeah, I got work to do."
"So work is more important to you?"
"This place is a casino, but it's also the headquarters of the Ross Syndicate outside the Underworld. We plan and run our missions here, and that's what I meant when I said they were here to 'steal'.
There are important documents and missions, undercover agents, and gangs spread across this city. Their name, address, family… Everything would have been exposed if they had gotten their hands on it. So yeah, it is as valuable as my life for me. Because the others' lives would be in danger as well."
Rudy stayed there with Rusher until the Under Blades arrived. After that, he bid farewell to everyone and teleported to the park near his house.
He had also asked Lilim to leave, so he was now waiting for an update from her.
'Rudy, is it a bad time to ask you to finish what we were doing in the car?' Angelica asked hesitantly.
"Obviously not. Come out, I was so close to cumming, and you were too. Let's have some fun until Lilim arrives."
After that, Rudy 'played' with Angelica in the park for half an hour until he received a message from Lilim.
Angelica was satisfied with a few loads, so she went inside Rudy and fell asleep.
In this life, Rudy had never been to the forest near his house after he got his powers, so he first teleported near his house and flew to the forest. He looked at the lonely lake that was filled with waste and junk and muttered:
"This lake eventually dried out completely, and it was later filled with sand to use as land to make more houses. I can buy this land and make a big house here so all my harem members can live, but this land belongs to the government, so I will have to talk it out with them sometime."
Rudy landed in the forest and glanced around to look for Lilim.
"Lilim?"
He used his vision abilities to find Lilim, but Lilim called out to him before he could do that.
"Daddy."
"I am here," Rudy responded.
Lilim made her way to Rudy's voice and smiled at him after finding him.
"You could have just met me in the sky or something."
Without responding, Lilim rushed to Rudy and hugged him tightly.
"Daddy~!"
"Hey…" For some reason, Rudy felt a little emotional meeting Lilim like that.
'Why did she choose this place of all?'
"I know this is too direct, but can we get to the main deed?" Lilim asked in a muffled voice.
"Sure. We can have a nice chat while doing it."
Lilim dropped to her knees, pulled Rudy's pants, and bit his snake in a playful manner. She sniffed it and muttered, "It smells fresh."
"Yeah. It was working 'hard' mining a cave while I was waiting for you."
And thus started Rudy and Lilim's long night in a forest.
Meanwhile, Lu Bela was checking the reports of the Underworld Tournaments as the head of the UBC.
She was repeatedly glancing at her phone in anticipation of Rudy's message, but Rudy was busy doing something else.
Kim, who was sitting on the couch in the same room, said, "Why don't you message him if you want to talk to him."
"I don't want to talk to anyone. I was waiting for his message about the gold biscuit he gave me. I don't understand why he gave me this…" she muttered while looking at the biscuit.
Rudy had written— 6+9 =?
"The answer is fifteen. Why would he give me such a simple thing to solve?" Lu Bela wondered.
"Again, why don't you message him and ask him yourself?"
A/N- What's 6+9?
Thanks, @Domfom, and @hades6768, for the gift!
