Chapter 414 Mafia Estate || Ross Syndicate
''I don''t think I will get anything from the niece. She is the same age as Maria so she wouldn''t know anything. Rusher is old, and he should know. And it would be a jackpot if I could meet the father, or should I say, grandfather.
He is the oldest and must know what I am looking for. But…''
Rudy shot a nce at Maria and thought, ''Asking her to take me there would be obvious. I have to get a workaround."
Maria and Rudy were holding hands, so he pulled her close and said, "I want to see your room."
"Absolutely not!"
''Wow. That''s… not the response I expected.''
"Why not?" Rudy asked curiously. "I was so looking forward to seeing your room."
Rudy wasn''t lying. He was indeed interested in seeing the room of the mafia princess.
"I will show you one day, but that day is not today!"
"Alright."
Rudy didn''t feel like pushing the matter as Maria was against it, which was rare for her. She was usually so friendly and curious, like a baby.
''Now I need to find a way to somehow run into Maria''s grandfather. Would he be at the tournament? If yes, then there is no need for me to try so hard. I can just wait.''
After touring around the estate for a while, Rudy slowed down and said, "I am thirsty. Can I get water?"
"Oh!" Maria suddenly eximed and covered her mouth in shock. "I am so sorry. Guests are supposed to ask to eat and drink, but I did none of that!"
''Because Lilim and I teased you, so it''s our fault!''
"That''s okay. I wasn''t thirsty before, so I wouldn''t have drank something even if you had…"
Maria rushed to the hallway and grabbed a shotgun from the wall. Then, she aimed it at the giant bell on the ceiling and fired the shot.
The bell rang, and butlers and maids lined up in front of Maria. And she ordered them to bring water, alcohol, juice, soda, and various types of drinks of different vors.
''Wow. So dramatic. I kind of want to do the same.''
Rudy wasn''t actually thirsty. He thought Maria would go to fetch water, and he would use the chance to slip into the inner area of the estate, but he should have expected something like that to happen.
Still, he had a backup n which was undoubtedly going to work.
"Maria!" he called out to her and waited for her toe to him.
"Yes? Is there something you need?"
"I want to go… you know…"
"Oh…." She pointed her finger in a direction and said, "The washroom is that way…"
"No. It''s number two…"
"Ooo… you can go to the inner area then. There is one at the entrance."
"Thank you!"
When Rudy scanned the area earlier, he had already seen where everything was located. And he noticed the washrooms were located at specific ces, with different types of washrooms.
Rudy waited to pass through the other washroom and acted when the nearest washroom was in the inner area of the estate.
Rudy was on his way there, but Maria followed after him and said, "I changed my mind. I will take you there."
''Oh,e on. Why are all my ns failing today?''
Rudy had no other choice but to spend a good five minutes in the washroom, doing nothing. However, it was neat and clean, so he had noints.
He flushed and left the washroom while pretending to wipe his hands with a tissue.
"Thank you. It was kind of embarrassing to ask at someone''s home, so I thought I would be able to hold it, but…"
"Yeah, that happens. Bad luck strikes at the worst time. So let''s hope you don''t get unlucky in today''s matches," Maria uttered while chuckling nervously.
"Oh, by the way, I just got a call from my father, and he asked to meet you. Are you okay with that?"
''Oh. Oh! Oh!!''
"Well, if the big boss has asked, I can''t deny it."
Maria and Rudy made their way to the inner area of the estate
''Is my super luck at work again?'' Rudy wondered. ''Come to think of it, do I actually need to n everything if I can simply wish for it from the bottom of my heart, and my super luck would do the work one way or another? Like how it did just now.''
Rudy pondered for a while and came to the conclusion that he shouldn''t rely on super luck much.
''Logically speaking, if I can have all the abilities including super luck to help me out, then there are high chances that I also have super bad luck that can fuck me up.''
After walking for a while, they finally reached the innermost area of the estate. It seemed more like a house at first nce, and Rudy realized what Maria meant by what she said earlier.
''It''s like their personal space. This entire estate is like their house, but this inner area is like their bedrooms. If I had guests over at my house, I would show them around, but I don''t think I would let them in my room if I don''t know them well.
I might be a friend to maria…''
Rudy remembered the kisses from earlier and rephrased his thoughts.
''I might be close to Maria, but I am a stranger to the rest of the people here.''
Maria pointed her gaze at the couch in the living room and said, "Please sit here. I would inform my father that you have arrived."
"Yeah."
Rudy sat on the couch while ncing around as much as he could to take notes.
''It''s surprisingly down to earth. There were guns and swords on most of the walls of the estate, but this ce has no weapons. This is the living room, there are other rooms, there is a freaking separate kitchen too.''
A few secondster, one maid and one butler came and served the drinks to Rudy.
"Please, excuse us. You can ring the bell at any time if you need anything," they said calmly and left.
Rudy drank a few drinks while waiting, but his wait soon ended when he heard multiple footsteps.
Maria, Rusher, his wife, and Maria''s grandfather entered the living room and greeted Rudy.
He shook hands with Rusher and his wife and then turned to the boss to do the same.
"Nice to meet you. I am—"
Before Rudy could even finish his introduction, the boss took out a gun and shot Rudy in the head.
