”You may count the money if you want, but our bill counter is not working, so you will have to count them by hand,” the man said. ”I counted them with my hands, and thatʼs why it took a while. Otherwise, you would have gotten your money when you won.”

”There is no need for that. I trust the casino,” he said with a gentle smile.

Even though Rudy said that he had already counted the money inside using his see-through ability and even confirmed their authenticity— when he was on his way to the counter from a distance.

”But I am surprised you gave the money so easily without even confirming everything. I am even wearing a different get-up.”

”Thatʼs not the casinoʼs responsibility. The money was linked to your casino pass, so anyone with that pass can claim the money. So in case you had lost the card, you would have lost the money too,” he stated in a neutral tone.

”I will come tomorrow to win the VIP tournament too. And I am going to take that money in cash too, so you better get that bill counter fixed, or you would have to count with hands again,” he smirked with a smug look on his face.

After that, Rudy left the casino and teleported to his room. He hid the briefcases under the bed.

Angelica came out of Rudyʼs body and jumped on the bed.

Rudy looked at her and said, ”Letʼs go some more round.”

”No. My pussy is aching in pain.”

”Hah!” Rudy scoffed out loud and arrogantly said, ”That will be a treat, she said.”

Rudy used Angelicaʼs line on herself. He never forgot to take his revenge, even on his loved ones.

He sat on the bed and called Alice as he had promised.

After a few rings, she picked up the call: [Hello?]

”Hey.”

[Is it really you?]

”You donʼt believe me even after hearing my voice? What do you want next? Or should I teleport to your house to prove it?”

[No, donʼt. Dad is here,] she whispered. [He is watching television in the room. And there is news about the robbery at the central bank today.]

”Yeah, I will tell you when we meet next time.” After a brief pause, he asked, ”So, whatʼs up?”

[Nothing. But hey, tomorrow is the weekend, so we donʼt have school. Are you free?] she asked curiously.

”Well… actually, yes and no. I have got plans. But I will come to your house tomorrow at nine. So be ready.”

[Okay~]

BEEP~ BEEP!

SIGH!

Rudy placed the phone beside him, but Angelica picked it up and connected it to the neighborʼs wifi.

”Eh? The salesman lied about the phone!” she groaned.

”What happened?”

”He said it will have faster internet, but itʼs still slow!”

”...” Rudy shook his head in disbelief and said, ”Wifi has nothing to do with 3G networking.”

”And here I thought I would binge this new harem anime!”

”Stop watching weird things. You get weird ideas from them, and then you try to use them on me.”

”No way! I have missed so many episodes since we were in the vampire world, and your phone was broken even before that,” she retorted.

”This phone is not the best device to watch videos on. We have got a television downstairs. I will buy a new subscription for you so you can watch all day.”

”Wouldnʼt it be weird if the television stays on with no one watching it? Unless, of course, you plan to watch with me.”

”Uhh… maybe wait for a few days. We will get a laptop from the school. You can watch it on a big screen.”

”Okay…” Angelica still began watching the anime.

”...” Rudy shook his head and let out a sigh. ”I canʼt wait for tomorrow. Itʼs going to be so much fun~”

”Oh, by the way.” Angelica got on top of Rudy and asked, ”What did you do to the two robbers who went to take the gold from the vault but disappeared?”

”Eh? That wasnʼt me.”

”Then how did they disappear?”

”I donʼt know. But I did use my see-through ability and scanned the vault to check whether they were hiding somewhere or not. They are criminals, and they have no morals. So I thought maybe they were trying to betray and take the gold for themselves. However, they were truly not there.”

”Then arenʼt you curious to find out?”

”I am curious but not desperate. What will you tell me next; why didnʼt you go after the robbers in the van?” he sighed softly.

”Well, you could have asked them from where they got the futuristic technology.”

”We already know the answer. The seller or the supplier is in the underworld. My plan is already in action, so changing its course would ruin everything that comes after it. All we need right now is time and patience,” he stated in a calm voice.

He closed his eyes but soon opened them when he heard voices from downstairs.

”Hmm? That voice sounds familiar…”

Rudy got up from the bed while Angelica stayed on top of him by wrapping her arms and legs around him.

He went downstairs and saw Lucy and Joe talking with Rebecca in the living room.

ʼThey were moving in today? Mom didnʼt tell me about it!ʼ Rudy snatched the phone from Angelicaʼs hand and put it in his pocket.

”Oh, come on! It was just getting on the good part~!” Angelica groaned.

”Not now. You can watch it later all night.”

Rudy took a deep breath and entered the living room.

”Hey there…” he greeted Lucy and Joe.

”Rudy. You were upstairs in your room?”

”Yeah.”

”But your mom told me you werenʼt home,” Joe said while glancing at Rebecca with a confused look on his face.

”...”

ʼI have never messed up in my life, he said.ʼ Angellica taunted Rudy.

”Oh, yeah, I just returned a minute ago from school. I went to my room to change my clothes and drop the bag,” he answered awkwardly.

”Oh, okay. That makes sense.”
