Novel Full Chapter 445 The Day
Chapter 445 The Day
A day passed by like every other day for Rudy, and the night of the VIP tournament arrived.
Rudy was in his room, waiting for Maria to contact him as she hadn’t been responding to his calls or messages. He was worried about Maria, so he contacted Lilim, who told him that Maria was still sleeping.
She didn’t want the night of the tournament to end the same as it did last time when she fell asleep in the car and didn’t get a chance to spend time with Rudy.
On the other hand, Angelica had just fallen asleep after a few rounds with Rudy in the bathroom.
“Everyone’s sleep schedule is fucked,” Rudy muttered.
There was still enough time left for the tournament to start, and even if Rudy was late, his match was at the end as he had qualified for the quarter-final.
“I already ate, and mom left for work. Lucy is taking a bath, so I am all alone.” He said as though he was a loner boy that no one talked to.
Rudy wanted to clear his mind as he felt a bit sluggish after using too much of his brain lately. So he jumped out of the window of his room and soared into the sky.
He laid on the cloud by changing its properties while still keeping it lightweight. He also used telekinesis to keep it flying. That was his ride to the underworld as he relaxed on the cloud while it flew to the destination.
‘The cell towers are kind of wacky at this height, so I better make sure the phone stays in rage, or I will miss Maria’s calls.’
Rudy could simply teleport to Ross estate or even to Lilim’s room, and no one would have noticed. But he was expecting a little bit of drama that he couldn’t miss.
‘If one has millions of fans, it is evident that they will have at least a few thousands of haters.’
The best way to gain fame in the underworld was to become well-known among fans and haters, all the citizens. If something happened in the underworld, it would surely be on the underworld news channel, where more people would learn about Rudy and get curious to find out more.
All that without Rudy even trying to accomplish anything on his own. He just had to prove the haters wrong and show them their place. After all, if they had the courage and passion like Rudy, they could do the same.
Rudy closed his eyes and enjoyed the cold air hitting his face as the moonlight shimmered around. His phone was on his chest, and he was using it with the help of electrification to chat with Lilim, who was giving him updates about the underworld.
He was also curious about how and what Maria did to Lilim after Rudy told her everything. But when he asked Lilim, she asked him to come to the estate first.
After a few minutes, Rudy fell asleep, but the cloud still headed toward the underworld. However, suddenly, Rudy was covered by a shadow, and the airflow around him stopped.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a giant winged creature flying in the sky with his blurry vision. His first thought was that it was a dragon Alice had mentioned. But after his vision got cleared, he realized it was just an airplane.
“….”
Rudy was confused as to why the plane wasn’t making the noise as all planes did– only to realize that the fog from the cloud had entered his ears and obstructed his sense of hearing.
He had deactivated his super senses as he was in the sky, from which his sense-radius could capture all the noises from the surface, which no one would want to hear while sleeping. Without acting his super senses, his ears functioned as a normal human.
Rudy messaged Lilim and asked her to come to the main entry gate of the underworld to pick him up.
“I feel somewhat refreshed after a nap, although I would have preferred a longer one.”
He stretched his hands in the air and tossed away all the laziness from his body. Then, he jumped from the cloud and landed after traveling a few kilometers in the air. He made a massive hole in the middle of the street as he jumped again and landed a few kilometers away.
However, he didn’t forget to restore the street as soon as he jumped again.
“I don’t know what it is… but jumping like this feels a lot better than flying around. While flying, I only feel the air hitting me, but my whole body feels crazy while jumping.
That incredible feeling in the gut before landing is what makes it a lot better. It’s like a rollercoaster where everyone yells when going down the slide,” he muttered as he tried to reason his statement.
After a few minutes of jumping, he reached the pick-up point and waited for Lilim to arrive.
‘It shouldn’t take her more than thirty minutes to exit the underworld, and it has been like twenty minutes.’
Rudy used ‘find my prey’ and saw Lilim was still in the Ross estate for some reason.
“You have got to be kidding me.”
Without wasting a single second, he teleported near the gate of the Ross syndicate and said, “The son-in-law is here. Open the gate.”
The guards glanced at each other as though they were having trouble deciding what to do.
“Oh, come on, guys. I was here just yesterday. You haven’t forgotten me, right? I am famous here.”
“We know who you are, but we are not instructed on what to do at your arrival. Please wait until we get a response from the other side,” the guard calmly said.
“And… when is that?”
“We are trying to connect to them.”
Even after waiting for a minute, there was no reply.
“When was the last time you heard from them?” Rudy asked impatiently.
“Three hours ago.”
‘Something is wrong. First, Lilim didn’t come to pick me up. And now, they are not getting any response from the inside.’
Rudy pushed the guards aside and said, “I have a bad feeling about this.”
“Hey! You can’t enter without–“
All the guards were left baffled and speechless when they saw Rudy jump all the way to the final check post, which was five kilometers away from the gate.
