"Why would you tell her?"
"I had to."
Rudy released a sigh of disappointnt and uttered, "You didn't want to tell your children— who, by the way, deserve to know— but you told your sister.
"Excuse , mister. You can't talk to my sister like that." Yelena snapped her fingers to get Rudy's attention. "Do you have any idea how much she has suffered from being a single mother?"
"The people in our neighbourhood used to call her whore, slut, and so many bad nas because she was a single mother. You weren't there for her, rember that!"
"Yelena…!" Elena violently whispered. "Stop it!"
"Why should I? He is abusing you and you are letting him do it!"
"He wasn't talking about that. It's a different matter, which is between us. It's a married couple's matter, so don't butt in."
"I will!"
"Let her speak. I also want to know what she has gone through and the people responsible for it."
"I don't need your permission to do it. I will do—"
"Stop!" Elena slapped Yelena's mouth and glared at her. "I was the one who asked him to impregnate in the first place."
Yelena tried to move Elena's hand but couldn't.
"Just to let you know, he will most likely kill the people who badmouthed about , even once. And their death will be your fault. If you don't want them to die, keep your mouth shut."
Yelena thought Elena was surely joking and no one would kill soone just because they spoke ill about her. But when she looked at Rudy's face, sothing told her that Elena wasn't kidding around.
She gulped down nervously and asked, "Is he going to kill , too?"
"Don't worry, I don't care what people say about . Their words, or rather, their existence, are worthless to . It wouldn't matter to if they are alive or dead. But, when they switch from words to action, they will face so consequences, which can lead to death due to unknown or natural reasons.
They have freedom of speech, but not freedom of action. I don't care what they do as long as it doesn't affect or my loved ones. I have no plans of becoming a king or a president, I will be the damn dictator."
Any person who would hear sothing like that from one's mouth, they would obviously think that person was either joking or was ntally delusional. However, that wasn't the case with Rudy.
Every word he said was pure commandnt.
"So you like to suppress and oppress the weak people?" Yelena asked with a serious look on his face.
"What benefit would I gain from doing anything with weak people? I simply want to live a peaceful life and I would do anything to achieve that."
Yelena narrowed her gaze and looked at Elena before muttering, "You never told you were married to a murderer."
"I don't get in his way. I promised him that I wouldn't interfere with whatever he does as long as it's not sothing that could affect our relationship."
"Right, Becca?" Elena then turned to Rebecca and chuckled from the corner of her lips.
Rebecca didn't look at Elena and stayed quiet.
"She knows that your hands are covered with blood, but I specifically told her that no matter whatever she does or wants to do, don't get involved with this one thing," Elena inford Rudy.
"Is that so…?"
"I hope she hasn't done that, or that would be the next level of stupidity."
"We don't talk about that at ho," Rebecca refuted.
"Yeah, we are busy fighting and patching up all the ti…"
"And I thought this was going to be a date, not a eting."
"Sa," Rudy nodded and glanced back and forth at Yelena and Elena. "What's this about?"
"Okay, let's get to the main point, then. Rudy, after you… well, disappeared from 1990 and a few years later, after giving birth to Eric and Erika, I was eting new people and making connections.
It started small and here I am today. On my journey, I t a lot of people with different cultures and backgrounds, while most of them were human, so weren't. And that's what I want to talk about."
"Okay, question. How do you know that they weren't human? I don't think they would reveal their identity."
"I was about to get there. For so reason, non-humans would… look at differently. As if they knew about you. It wouldn't be strange to say you were the reason."
"Hmm…" Rudy pondered for a few seconds and exhaled, "Well, I have marked you so perhaps they could… sense that."
"I thought the sa. So once they learned about you, they would try to talk to and ask so personal questions. At first, when I wasn't aware that they weren't humans, of course, I was… bewildered.
However, I noticed that they were strangely scared of , too. Step by step, I learned about them and now I have information that could help or perhaps, benefit you. Though I don't want to pretend I didn't have any other movies."
"Oh? What kind of motives did you have?" Rudy asked curiously.
"I wanted to gather as much data as possible and create a special web hub for the non-humans. I hoped they would stand by humans' side in case this world was attacked— in your absence."
·ƈθm "That's an excellent motive. But I don't understand…" Rudy frowned. "What are they doing in the human world? They are not supposed to be here."
"Based on what you told back in 1989, all the races used to live together before. Perhaps, they think of this world as their real ho and want to spend their life here?"
"That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what they think or what they want or what they seek to do. They were ordered by the Lord to never step again in the human world, so how dare they go against the Lord's word?
