Chapter 658 An (Un)Familiar Guest

"I want to go there. It sounds so cool, like in the movies…" Alice mumbled.

"You can come if you want. I am not stopping you."

"But we have school tomorrow. Not to mention, you can only take two people with you."

"That rule doesn't matter. The rule is made by the Queen of the underworld, who rules over all the underworld in the world. And… I personally know that Queen, and she won't stop me from taking as many people as I want."

"In fact, I would rather take all the girls with me," he added.

"Sorry, I can't come." Reina raised her hand.

"I know. You all are busy with your stuff, and I don't want to interfere with that. Your daytime belongs to you, but your nighttime will be mine."

Reina stopped counting money and looked at Rudy with a resolute expression on her face.

"That sounded cool, not going to lie."

"I don't even need to try to sound cool to be cool." He proudly said with a smug look on his face, "I am always cool."

"And that wasn't…" Reina looked at the money in her hand and sighed, "I forgot the count…"

"It's 112."

"How do you know that?"

"Because I was counting with you."

"While talking with Alice and me?"

"Yup. And I kind of expected you to mess up the count."

Reina squinted her eyes and said, "You do something awesome and then something stupid."

"How much does the water park make per day?" Rudy asked curiously.

"It's not stable every day. It depends on the number of customers I get."

"Yeah, but what's the approximate number?"

"Umm… about five thousand dollars a day on weekdays and almost double on the weekends."

"That's less than I expected."

"It's still one hundred and fifty thousand dollars per month," Alice stated.

"Around fifty thousand dollars go into maintenance and expenses each month."

"But I just increased the price a few weeks ago. If I keep increasing the price every month, it might upset the regular customers."

"Yeah, you are right. Let's increase the price once we renovate the place. I have talked with twenty builders who have previously worked on mega projects all over the world. They will provide us with a 3D blueprint in a few weeks, so you can make changes if you want."

"It's going to cost a lot of money, isn't it…"

"Don't worry about the money."

"I am anxious. What if we never recover the money we spent making an amusement park? Sure, it will become the main attraction of the city, but I don't think people from other cities would come all the way here for that."

"That's why we have to do something no one has. We have to make it so unique and appealing that even people from other countries would come just to get a glance of this place," Rudy proclaimed with a serious look on his face.

"You are setting the bar too high!"

"It's good to have high hopes. And at this point… nothing seems impossible to me. I can do anything I want, and I am not being arrogant when I say that. I have powers, and I can use them however I want."

Well, we can talk about this later. It's getting late, so I will leave for now."

He kissed Reina on the lips and said, "I also have a surprise planned for you, but that will take a long time."

"Thanks for spoiling the surprise but not ruining it."<.com>

"You are welcome."

Rudy grabbed Alice and teleported in front of her house.

"Thanks for today. I had fun," she said.

"Are you coming to the auction?"

"I don't know…" she muttered. "I want to come, but we have school tomorrow."

"You can skip. We have sports week, and our attendance isn't included, so you can skip."

"What about Janet? We have to pick her up, right?"

"I can pick her up."

"And then, what? You will leave after dropping her off, and she will be alone. I think you already know this, but she doesn't have any real friends."

"She does. What happened to the group she always hung out with?"

"After Janet started spending time with us, they cut her off. But not completely. They still talk, but they don't invite or include her in their group activities," Alice informed.

"I will take care of Janet. If you want to come or change your mind, let me know before 10 PM. I will come to pick you up."

"Okay." Alice nodded and leaned forward for the kiss.

Rudy chuckled softly and kissed her on the lips.

"I feel like we haven't been spending enough time together," Rudy said to ALice.

"It's just your imagination."

Alice entered her house while Rudy teleported to his house.

He glanced around the sky to check whether someone was watching them, but it was clear.

[Are you perhaps looking for me?] A voice asked from behind.

Rudy turned around and saw a tiny glowing golden orb.

"Was it you the other day?"

[Yes, but I ran away after you started chasing me.]

"I wasn't chasing you, I just wanted to have a little chat with you."

[I could sense blood thirst from your aura.]

"That was just my normal aura. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have chased you. I can remove you from existence at any given moment. Anyway, what are you? And why can't I sense you still?"

[My characteristics are the same as the inanimate objects in your surroundings. Walls, rocks, plants, trees, clouds, water. I can manifest from any of them.]

"Hmm~" Rudy hummed in wonder and said, "That makes sense. But I cannot see any living organs inside you. What are you, exactly?"

[I am an inanimate object.]

"But you are alive."

[Indeed, I am simply using an object to talk to you. My real self is not present in this world. I cannot see or listen to anything. I can simply sense. Your words are being carried away with frequency and hitting this orb, which are later converted into a code and deciphered when they reach me.]

'That's a nice technique.'

"What are you doing here?"

[I am looking for the Lord.]
