Chapter 411 Sealing Maria’s Lips
While Rudy was eating dinner, a thought suddenly crossed his mind that filled him with regret.
‘If I had realized this sooner, or if such an event had happened sooner, I would have made more progress. Now Lucy is with us, and Joe will also return from his business trip in a few days.
If I had been alone with mom like all these years, there was a high chance that I would have already done something to her. Well, no such thing happened in the past life, so I have no idea how all this is going to work out.’
Rudy promised himself that he wouldn’t waste time or wait for some ‘opportunity’ to make progress with the girls. He didn’t want to regret it later like he was at that moment, but it still left him with an unanswered question.
‘How many girls?’ Rudy was a teenager like any other, and who wouldn’t want multiple beauties clinging to them?
Rudy’s presence and his domineering aura were enough for them to submit themselves to him. But of course, that only worked on those who could feel his aura, which wasn’t applicable to humans.
So far, the only girls in Rudy’s harem were the ones he was already acquainted with one way or another, except Reina and Nyxia, whom he had never met in his past life.
His intentions were pure, but he was conflicted now that he could have as many girls as he wanted in his harem. Not that it mattered much to him since, in the end, it all came down to whether he loved or liked being around them.
After eating dinner, he washed the dishes with Lucy and went to his room to sleep after two days.
He spent the next day as usual and returned from school to prepare to leave for the underworld.
However, there was a big problem. He had no idea where to go.
Rudy looked at the underworld casino card, but it had no address. In fact, it had nothing major on it. Not his name, contact information, or even a picture. That made Rudy wonder how exactly that was important.
“Wait a minute…”
He activated his see-through ability and saw the hidden information on it.
“I see. Yeah, that makes sense for it to be like that.”
RING~ RING!
Rudy’s phone rang, but he knew who it was without even looking at it since only one person would call him at that hour.
He picked up the phone and said, “Yes, Maria?”
[Thank God, you picked up. I tried to contact you half an hour ago, but your phone was unreachable.]
‘Yeah, because this pervert used up the battery.’
“Yeah, it was… out of battery. What’s up? Why did you call me?” Rudy looked at the time and said, “There is still an hour left for the tournament, right?”
[Yeah, but since today is the first day, you will have to come early for the… well, formalities. Where are you right now? I will be waiting for you at my brother’s casino. I will take you to the underworld with me in my car.]
Rudy quickly teleported near the casino and said, “Oh, I am there too. I was thinking of warming myself up by playing a few games in the casino before the tournament.”
[We don’t have time for that. Where are you? I can’t see you.]
“Look behind you.”
Maria turned around and saw Rudy standing there with a grin on his face.
Maria hung up the phone and quickly rushed to Rudy in a hurry.
“Come on, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
She grabbed Rudy’s hand and took him to the car parked in front of the casino.
“Oh!”
Rudy was expecting a limoushine like the last time, but it was a different car.
“I just got this car as a gift from my father!” Maria said cheerfully and hugged Rudy in joy.
“The one you won in the bet?”
“Yes!”
It was a gorgeous-looking black Mercides.
“It’s… dazzling…” Rudy muttered. “Maybe I will get one too after finishing all the tournaments.”
“Do you want me to buy one?” Maria asked gleefully.
“No.”
“Why not? I want to thank you for everything you have done for me!” she insisted.
“And what have I exactly done for you? I don’t remember anything.”
Maria looked into Rudy’s eyes before glancing around. Then, she looked past Rudy’s shoulder and pushed him against the car.
“…?”
She pulled his face closer and kissed him on the lips as if it was her first and the last time she was kissing him.
She kissed him again after saying, “This is my punishment you asked for.”
After a minute-long kiss, she hugged Rudy and said, “Don’t leave me.”
“I never said anything about leaving you, though.”
“Once all the tournaments end, we won’t meet each other again so often. And even if we do, nothing will change. I am going to miss this tournament week, and it’s going to be the most memorable moment of my life,” she said in a rather sad and low voice.
Rudy gently smacked Maria on the head and said, “No, you idiot. I know I have access to the underworld, so I can come and go any time.”
“But you will be busy with your life, and I don’t want to be annoying.”
“Listen here.” Rudy turned the table and pushed Maria against her car. Then, he moved his hand to her waist and trapped her in his grasp.
“I am listening.”
“I feel the same as you. And when I tell you nothing will change, then I mean it.”
“But… you are a normal citizen, and I am a mafia…” she murmured.
“And?”
“We live in different worlds! There are so many—”
Rudy shut Maria up by sealing her lips with his lips. He kissed her and kissed her again until Maria kissed him back.
“I thought you were the type of girl who would go to any length to get what she wants,” Rudy commented.
Maria puckered her lips and said, “That’s not me. That’s my niece.”
“Listen, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just be yourself and enjoy your life. I am not a—”
HONK~ HONK!
The car suddenly honked, which surprised Rudy.
‘It wasn’t the alarm that rings when someone tries to unlock your car; it’s the car’s horn. But Maria is outside, so who…?’

A/N- Yes, the names are misspelled on purpose.
