Rudy thanked the beings that helped him pull off the sunrise proposal and offered them peace of mind that he would protect them from any danger they might find themselves in.
Once everything was set, Rudy decided to return to the pool house, but sothing strange happened. His ears twitched as they sensed sothing getting closer.
'A non-human? It's not coming from Lilim, though. And… it's not just one.'
Rudy casually walked to the vehicle and stood while leaning on it.
'I can feel them approaching , so all I have to do is pretend as if I didn't notice them, and they would co to . If I act cautiously and try to find them, they will realize I am onto them. What a simple trick to pre the predator… although I am always the predator… no matter what the situation I am in.'
"What's wrong, daddy?" Lilim asked.
Rudy glanced at Lilim from the corner of his eyes and slightly nodded.
'The guests have left for the island, but so of them are still here. I don't sense malicious intents from the beings I am sensing, but I shouldn't let my guard down. I am touching the vehicle, so if anything happens, I will teleport them sowhere safe and deal with the nuisance.'
Rudy waited for a few seconds, but he got tired of waiting, so he teleported to where he was sensing the beings and stood behind them.
"Need sothing?" he asked.
Three hooded figures in a red cloak covered their entire body, even their fingers, hair, and eyes.
When Rudy called them, they turned around, but Rudy teleported in front of them and once again asked:
"Need sothing?"
The three figures got on their knees and lowered their heads.
"As we assud, you are not a human. We were scared of approaching you and weren't sure if we should disturb you when you were already with a company. May we know your true self?"
"You may not. State your business and get out of here. You don't belong in the world of mortals," he uttered in multiple voices.
"We are just ssengers, delivering ssages to those we find worthy. Today's auction was a part of it. We found a few half-mortals and non-humans tonight, but none such as you. We would be more than delighted if you could hear our request," they asserted with their utmost sincerity.
"Go ahead. I am listening. But keep it short."
"Since you are not a human, you must know about the customs of the world you belong to. Each race and world have different cultures, beliefs, and customs. However, there is always sothing in common."
"What did I say about keeping it short?" Rudy groaned.
"Yes." The person who was speaking gulped down and glanced at the person next to him.
"There is one common tradition that happens every year, which is the auction. Just like last night's auction, there is an auction in another world where races from all the worlds would be present, and they will participate in that auction.
I don't an to degrade today's event, but that auction would be a hundred folds better than this one. All types of items will be available to buy and bid, and we would appreciate it if you could make so ti to participate."
Rudy raised his brow and pondered for three seconds.
"Tell one thing that could interest ."
"You can buy slaves belonging to other races," the third person said.
"That disgusts ."
Rudy turned around after saying, "Leave before I make you leave."
"You can find artifacts that could be useful to you," the second person said.
"I said leave." Rudy tilted his head slightly to the side and glared at them.
They got up and left after saying, "You are always welco."
SIGH!
'They sounded like salesn trying to sell their items. I can't believe I wasted my ti on them. Seriously, what the fuck? I was in such a good mood, and they ruined it.'
Rudy jumped and landed near the girls.
"Sothing on your mind?" Lu Bela asked after noticing the frown on his face.
Rudy took off his mask and tossed it at Maria.
"Why were there non-humans in the auction?"
"They are my guests. Did they do sothing to you?"
"As if they can." He furrowed his brows at Lu Bela and said, "Next ti, tell beforehand that there were non-humans in the event."
"I made sure to give them the farthest hotel, where they couldn't possibly interact with humans. They weren't invited to the party either."
"I know that, or they would have been picked up by my sending radar."
"They were harmless."
"Doesn't make that as an excuse to expose the vulnerable humans to them. What if one of them had gone rogue?"
Rudy wasn't worried about the humans in the least, but he was about his human lovers. Of course, he could easily deal with any threats, but there were monts when he wasn't with his lovers.
Lu Bela frowned her face and said, "You brought two vampires with you, and if you don't know, they are considered as the deadliest race in the universe."
"You know they are harmless."
Lu Bela shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's exactly my point. You trust your lovers, and I trust my friends. My Lord, with all due respect, you should learn to trust others."
Rudy stared at Lu Bela for a few seconds and said, "You, of all people, shouldn't talk about trust."
"Like you know what it ans. Have you ever trusted anyone in your life?"
"I trusted you. I thought we were getting along, but I forgot that was just your cheap trick to owe a favor. You don't truly care about or anything. You just care about yourself."
Lu Bela clenched the steering wheel tightly and gritted her teeth.
"You are not wrong. Everyone only cares about themselves, and so do you," she remarked.
"And that's my rcy to this world."
"Uhm… you two are not even arguing about the sa topic anymore," Lilim quipped.
