Esper Harem in the Apocalypsechapter 588: connection to a future event

"Just… just kill me now…." the boss uttered.

Rudy raised his brow and asked, "Say what? If you want to die, then why do such horrendous acts in the first place?"

"I had no other choice…"

"What are you talking about? Aren't you the leader of the strongest syndicate in the underworld?" Rudy asked with a confused look on his face.

"I was doing it for… God…"

"What the fuck are you talking about?! I didn't know you were so religious. And why the fuck do you need to kill kids and innocent for your god?! Are you out of your mind?!"

"He gets… power from the blood of the innocent…"

Rudy's expression changed from confused to puzzled, with wrinkles on his forehead.

"I don't know what you are smoking, but go home and reflect on what you have done. I really wish to kill you, but I will give you a grace time of eighteen years to raise Maria."

"Who is… Maria…?"

'Oh well… I guess it was me who told him about Rusher and Ria, and therefore you knew everything. It also makes sense why he shot me when he saw me. All this was supposed to happen… sigh. He turned into a saint because of me.'

"You son and daughter fu—" Rudy stopped his words when he noticed Lilim was listening to them. He didn't want to use vulgar words in front of him, although he had already said many things.

Rudy let go of the boss' collar and placed his hand on his shoulder. He looked into the boss' eyes and calmly said, "Your son— Rusher, and your daughter— Ria, got bored. So they played a game and made a baby girl— Maria."

"What…? Are you saying that… that they…"

"Yes. Their game got a little heated. Now, get the fuck out of here and send your men to bring them here. And yeah…" Rudy lowered his voice and whispered, "Never ever open your mouth about what you saw today."

Rudy told him the address Rusher had told him when he was narrating his story.

"But… I can't go back! God will kill me!"

"Who is this god you speak of? Is someone trying to be a god by doing shitty things? Listen here, there is no one as powerful as me in this universe. Tell that god of yours that I will be coming for him soon."

He turned the boss around and said, "Tell him to pack his bag because I have an express ticket to hell for him!"

The boss ran away without looking back.

"Daddy…" Lilim pulled Rudy's sleeve and said, "What is god?"

"It's nothing."

'I could have gone there and seen what the hell is going on in the underworld, but I don't have time for that. There are still a few hours left for Rebecca's birthday to end, and I don't want to fuck it up.

More importantly, what the fuck is Lu Bela doing? All this shit is happening in the underworld, and… where the fuck is she?! What happened to her big talk about 'purpose and peace'?'

"Daddy, Jessica, and the other kids are in that big box."

"Yes, yes. But before we open that, I want you to change to your human form."

"Okay!"

Lilim and Rudy changed to their human form and opened the container containing the kids.

The kids were obviously shocked and scared when the container opened.

Rudy's eyes searched for Jessica, who was sitting in the corner.

'There she is!" He sighed in relief.

CLAP~ CLAP!

Rudy clapped his hands and said, "Come on, kids, it's time to go."

"Who… are you?" one kid asked.

"Are you also with them?" another one asked.

"No." Rudy showed his hands to them and responded in a calm voice, "Do you see any guns in my hand? I am here to save you."

Jessica was in utter shock, but when she heard Rudy's voice, she glanced around and saw Rudy standing in front of her.

"Rudy!" She got up and rushed to Rudy and hugged him. "I knew you would come."

'If Jessica and Lilim weren't kidnapped, Elena wouldn't have called me, and I would have never known of this. I am glad I was able to save these kids, but… I wonder how many innocents were killed in the name of that so-called god.

I am sorry, Rebecca, but I will have to go check the underworld. Many more innocent lives could be in danger. I don't want my family to get involved in this mess, and thus I have to get rid of the threat who calls himself a god.

But first, I will have to return these kids to their parents and drop Elena and the two at home. And get a cake too, of course. Then, I will go to the underworld real quick, beat the shit out of that god, and return before Rebecca's birthday ends.'

"Alright, kids. Are you ready to go home?" Rudy asked with a smile on his face.

"How do you know where our home is?" a girl from the group asked.

"Well, I didn't mean home. I will take you to the park where your parents are, and they will take you home."

Rudy looked at the boy holding the girl's hand and wondered, 'Why do I feel like I have seen that face before? I recognize the face but can't remember where. I have a perfect memory, and because of that, I remember everything, but I don't know everything.'

"Anyway, boys and girls! Grab each other's hand and close your eyes. I will perform a magic trick and get you out of here!"

The kids did as Rudy asked them to do, but he made sure they were touching each other, and none of them was left behind. Then, he placed his hand on one of the kids' heads and teleported to the park.

He teleported them to a small maze tunnel in the park where kids used to go from one side to another and play in it. So when they all got out, it would seem that the kids were just playing inside the tunnel.
