Disbanding the Syndicate was the only way to avoid wars and assassinations against the Ross Syndicate. If there was no syndicate, nothing would happen. It was indeed a harsh solution, but it was also the safest one.


    The only thing Rusher cared about was protecting his family. He had given up on the Syndicate a long time ago, so he wasn''t against the idea of disbanding the Ross Syndicate.


    The remaining members discussed between themselves and happily agreed to Ruby''s decision.


    After that, Ruby informs her family that she is leaving with Maria and Rudy. At first, Nyara was against it, but she reluctantly agreed as she knew Ruby was the best person she could entrust Ruby and Maria with.


    Soon after, the Ross Syndicate was evicted in the next few hours, and everyone left. Rusher, Nyara, and his parents left the Underworld and took a flight overseas to spend the rest of their lives in a safe house in the safest area of that country. And Lilim had moved in to the Lu B syndicate as per Rudy''s orders, so she could watch the progress of Rudy''s recent request to Lu B.


    Rudy, Maria, and Ruby took one remaining car from the Ross Syndicate— that belonged to Maria— and drove to the water park where Maria and Ruby were supposed to leave for the next few days.


    Ruby was speechless to see other girls there. She thought he had scammed Maria, but heter asked Maria to tell Ruby everything as he had something else to do.


    He tapped on his chest and asked Angelica whether she was awake, and Angelica responded with a no. He asked her toe out and enjoy the girls so she wouldn''t feel lonely.


    He promised to pick her up at night and left. But he decided to drop by Reina''s office and spend some time with her. She told him that the builder had sent a blueprint of the amusement park, and now he was asking for the money.


    Rudy was going to pay, but Reina stated she had already done that. So Rudy decided to withdraw fifty thousand dors from Maria''s ount— which was actually his ount where he stored all his Underworld money.


    He tried to give the money to Reina, but she refused to take it and said that it was her parent''s dream and she wanted to use her own money. She didn''t want to rely on Rudy, where she could handle things on her own.


    Of course, she relied on Rudy for other things, but Rudy wanted Reina to bepletely dependent on him, which heter realized was hurting Reina''s pride. So he decided to let Reina take control of everything.


    It was still noon when all that happened, and the school hours were about to end, so Rudy decided to head to school so he could at least go home with Alice and J.


    When he checked his phone in the morning, there were many missed calls and messages from Alice and J. Alice had mentioned that she and J went to school together after he didn''t respond to her calls.


    Alice was aware that Rudy could be busy with many things, so she decided to leave him alone without disturbing him further, but that wasn''t the case with J.


    J was furious that Rudy had broken his promise twice within the same week, but she couldn''t do anything about it. She understood after Alice told her about his circumstances, which was a lie as she couldn''t tell her the truth without Rudy''s permission.


    Regardless, J was still upset. She was more sad than angry at Rudy. So she captured a photo of her and Alice, where she posed and showed him her middle finger. And then sent the picture to Rudy from Alice''s phone.


    Rudy was happy seeing Alice and J were getting along fine. But now he had to go pick them up. He teleported and waited near the school for a few minutes before he heard the bell ring.


    A few minutester, students began toe out of the school, but those who had the club activities stayed behind. Fortunately, neither Alice nor J were in any clubs.


    Rudy waited for a few minutes until he saw Alice and Maria finallying out of the school gate, but for some reason, they were ncing around as though they were looking for someone or something. He hid behind the wall and waited for them toe near so he could surprise them.


    However, they weren''t surprised. The vampire gang and the other girls in the harem had exchanged their contact information. So when Rudy dropped Maria and Ruby there, Rias had already told Alice everything.


    Alice knew Rudy better than anyone as they were childhood friends. So she had expected Rudy toe to pick her up. But unfortunately, J also saw that message as she was with Alice.


    J asked her many questions, so to avoid answering them, Alice ended up saying that Rudy might be on his way to pick them up. That''s why they were looking for him after leaving the school grounds.


    Since they couldn''t find Rudy, Alice assumed she was mistaken, but soon after, Rudy jumped in front of them to surprise them, which was effective, just in a different way.


    Rudy walked home with Alice and J while talking with them, although it was J who talked the most.


    He dropped J at her house and teleported to the vampire gang with Alice as she wanted to meet the newest member of Rudy''s harem.


    Just like the first time, Rudy decided to leave the girls alone to discuss the harem. He wanted to join them, but he had something really, really important to do.


    He wanted to confirm something which he had been curious about for a while. So he teleported behind the tree of the cemetery and walked to Jessica''s grave.


    He nced around to ensure no one was ground, including the ghosts. However, as soon as he reached Jessa''s grave, he was once again surrounded by the ghosts.


    "I knew it. You all are guarding this grave, aren''t you?" Rudy asked the old man.


    "We cannot answer that."


    "Well, whatever. You can''t stop me from doing what I am here to do."


    Rudy searched through the grave to look for the old wallet and found it buried under the sand. He dusted it to see the logo of the wallet and then took out the new wallet Eric had given him.


    "They match…"


    TING!


    Once again, Rudy''s ear caught a chiming sound, and he realized he had triggered something that awaited him to activate it.
