Chapter 439 Way Back Ho
"Was everything broadcasted everywhere in the world?"
"Everywhere in the underworld, yes," Rusher responded.
"What about the outside world?"
"It's broadcasted there too."
"What?!"
'What are the chances that soone saw ? That would honestly be terrifying and troubling. Imagine going to school today and everyone looking at like trash. Not to ntion, I am technically still not eighteen yet, and I was gambling and interacting with the mafias.'
"Wait, are you asking if the citizens of the outside world also saw the broadcast?" Rusher asked to confirm.
"Yeah…?" Rudy raised his brow in confusion and asked, "What else would I an?"
"Oh, then the answer is no. The tournant was indeed broadcasted to the outside world, but only in the casino and certain areas which are influenced by the underworld."
"Noice! Well, that makes sense since I had no idea about all this." Rudy stretched his arms in the air and said, "I will take my leave now."
"Please wait for a few minutes. I will send Lilim to drive you back. It's late at night, and I don't think it's particularly safe for you to travel alone after your grand performance before the tournant ended.
Everyone knows how much you are worth and will try their best to target you. Not to ntion, you made a challenge about winning the VIP underworld tournant, and everyone bet against you.
They will get 100x money if you fail that challenge, but what if you never make it to the tournant?"
Rusher asked with a knowing look on his face.
"You an… they will try to keep away from the tournant?" Rudy asked the obvious.
"Obviously. So you are the target of every evil mafia right now. And I have to ensure your safety. I would have sent any random driver from my syndicate, but Lilim is the most trained and trustful person I know," he stated.
'I had already anticipated everything Rusher said, but I never thought sothing like this could actually be possible,' Rudy uttered inwardly.
"But Lilim is sleeping, and I don't think it's wise to wake soone who is…" Rudy stopped on his words when he saw Lilim standing at the gate.
'....'
"She was awake when I returned from my tournant."
'I was going to teleport directly to my house, but oh well. I guess the night is still young, and there is ti to have fun. Hmm~ That kind of rhyd, didn't it?'
Rudy walked to Lilim and asked, "It seems soone is in a good mood."
"Yeah, I had a nice sleep, or rather the best sleep in a while."
Rudy got into the car, and Lilim began driving it. After crossing all the check posts and leaving the underworld ground, Rudy got on the passenger seat beside Lilim.
"So. Any plans for later today?" he asked, making himself comfortable.
"I have sothing to do in the morning, and currently, I am busy driving you ho," she said with a soft scoff.
"You know I can always teleport myself ho if you want."
Lilim sped up the car and rolled down the window from Rudy's side before saying, "Don't you want to spend ti with ?"
"That's exactly why I said I can teleport ho anyti."
After driving for a few minutes, the car stopped in a dark area and began shaking wildly as moans echoed in the forest around.
anwhile, it was still early night in the other part of the world. The streets were empty with vehicle engines sound traveling on a distant highway.
It was an underdeveloped area where gangsters and cris were normal. Even the streets were filled with holes, and the gutters were overflowing.
The street lamps were mostly off, while the working ones were constantly going on and off. Stray animals were everywhere. Dogs were chasing after cats and cats after rats.
No one was around except the swarm of insects was everywhere, and the buzzing sound rang on the streets and alleys.
Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard running on the street, followed by many more. A bunch of thugs was chasing a young woman in an office suit, seemingly returning from her work.
She ran and ran, but she was out of breath as if she had been running for a while. She hid in one of the alleys to save herself, but she didn't realize she had stepped into the trap.
The thugs surrounded her from both sides of the alley.
"No!" she yelled.
Four n ca from one side, while three from the other side. The woman took out a spray from her purse and said:
"Don't co any closer!"
The thugs took out knives from their pockets, while one of them took out a napkin and drenched it with so liquid.
"Stay quiet, darling~ It won't hurt. By the ti you wake up, we will be long gone, and you will experience heaven while we play with your body.
CLACK~ CLANK!
A weird noise ca from the backside of the alley, so everyone looked back and saw a pale pink-haired girl looking for sothing in the garbage.
"...."
"Hey, hey. There is another hottie right there," one of the thugs said.
"What is she doing there?"
"Is she holess?"
"Look at her hair, dude. They look dyed. She is probably a prostitute or sothing."
"Who cares? Let's get on with it."
One of them walked to the girl, saying, "I will take care of her. You guys enjoy the other one."
"Hey, you! What are you doing here?!" he said. "This is our territory! You have to pay for—"
THUD!
His body fell to the ground in a bizarre way, and foam began to co out of his mouth.
Then, the girl looked at the woman and asked, "Do you need help?"
The woman nodded violently and said, "Please help!"
The pale pink-haired girl moved her hand to the thugs and muttered sothing before forming a fist. Suddenly, the thugs' bodies fell to the ground after they were twisted in the air.
'I didn't kill them. I only damaged them, so I didn't break my promise, master~'
She walked to the woman and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Thank you! I don't know who you are, but you just saved my life!"
"Umm… I have seen a lot of humans doing this lately, so…" The girl reached her hand to the woman and said, "Nice to et you. My na is Lilith, and I am looking for my master."
