"It came from the forest. Should I go check?" Rudy asked himself. "Obviously. The forest is near this house, and I can't take any risk."
Rudy left the house and went to the forest. He used his vision ability to scan the woods to find any sign of life, but it was clean.
"Hmm~ It surely wasn't my imagination since my powers warned me. But I don't see anyone. There is nothing I can do here, but let's be cautious. For now, let's get the girls."
Rudy teleported near the water park and paid for the tickets. He then went inside to check up on the girls, but they weren't there.
"..."
'Where did they go? Washroom?"
Rudy wanted to check the female washroom using his vision abilities, but he decided not to. He waited for them in the lobby and saw them coming out of the washroom.
"There they are."
He waved his hand at them so they could see him, but they didn't as the place was packed.
"Rebecca," he yelled out to her.
At first, Rebecca didn't hear so he called her out again and she heard it, but she couldn't see Rudy, so she glanced around to look for him.
"Here!"
After a few seconds, she finally saw him and rushed while dragging Jessica with him.
"You are here!" she said.
"Of course I am." Rudy handed them their clothes and said, "Here. Your clothes."
Rebecca looked inside the bag and squinted her eyes at him when she said, "They are our clothes."
"That's what I said…" Rudy raised his brow and asked, "Did water get in your ears?"
"No, I mean… this is our clothes from home."
"Yes."
"You looked through our closet?" she asked with a judging look on her face.
"Oh, so that's what it's about." Rudy nodded and said, "Yes, I did. I was planning to buy you new clothes, but if I did that, you two would have nothing else to shop for.
I was at home, so I decided to get your clothes from there. And before you ask what I was doing there, that's a surprise. You will know when you get there. Now, hurry up and take a shower before changing your clothes. I am waiting for you near the office."
Rebecca left with Jessica while Rudy went to the office. He wanted to take a closer look at Reina's family. He sat on the bench near the office and repeatedly glanced inside the office like a creep and watched Reina's parents happily talking with each other.
"They look like a nice couple together…" Rudy muttered. "Still, they left Reina with a huge debt on her head. Indeed, it wasn't their fault that they got into a mess. If anything, it's Scott's family's fault.
But are they, really? Sure their interest rate and the schemes were nasty, but I am sure Reina's parents would have taken care of the loan. Not to mention, most of the loan money had gone to their treatment.
So if anyone is at fault, it's that fucking piece of shit wanna-be god who spread the apocalypse. Too bad Virgil already took care of him. Otherwise, I would have loved to wipe my hands on him.
All this anger, pain, and rage inside me has been dying to leak out of my body. I keep enduring everything, and I plan to keep doing that. But I don't think I can keep that up for long.
I… want to let loose. I want to go… berserk. The Lord inside me is slowly awakening, and it's about time I start to accept it. I keep saying I am the Lord, but let's be the Lord. Let's act like a Lord; to live like a Lord; to rule like a Lord."
Rudy got up and knocked on the office door to get the couple's attention.
"Excuse me," he said.
Reina's father turned to Rudy and said, "Sorry, but if you need anything, you can ask the staff."
"Uhm… no. I want to talk to you," he calmly said.
"Oh? Are you here to reserve the pools for a party or perhaps some function? You will have to talk to the manager about that."
"No, I am not here for that either. I… uhh…" Rudy glanced at Reina, who was sleeping in her mother's arms. "Umm… nevermind. Yeah, I will talk to the staff."
"Sure."
Rudy didn't know how to feel or what to say to them, so he decided not to do anything at all. He waited for Rebecca and Jessica to write and then left soon after.
Rebecca was holding Jessica's hand while walking, but Jessica was pouting for some reason.
Rudy glanced at Jessica from the corner of his eyes and smiled awkwardly when he got caught by Rebecca.
"Stop pouting, Jessica. Or you will become fat," Rudy said.
"Why did you have to throw away our wet clothes!" She yelled.
"I didn't throw them away. I gave them to wash. They will be at your home when we return."
"I don't believe you, and I am still angry!"
"Is this what they call a brat?"
"I am not a brat!"
"If you stop sulking, I will let you order any food you want."
"Really?!"
"Yeah."
"Yay!" Jessica jumped in joy.
They went to a restaurant, and Rudy let them order anything they wanted. After that, he took them to the mall and bought them new clothes. Then, they went to the convenience store and bought ingredients for food.
Rudy wanted them to enjoy themselves more, but the girls were exhausted, so he took them home after eating some light dinner.
After reaching home, the girls went straight to bed and fell asleep. While Rudy emptied the bangs and later increased the quantity of th3 ingredients when he placed them on the shelf.
To ensure everything, he once again went to the forest and scanned the area. Once everything was cleared, he returned to the house and fell asleep.
Rudy now knew why he was sent to the 1989 timeline. However, he still didn't know a thing related to who or how he time traveled and when he would return to the 2008 timeline. Regardless, time passed differently in both timelines, so no one from the 2008 timeline would ever notice Rudy's absence.
