Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 459 Meeting Maria and Lilim

Chapter 459 Meeting Maria and Lilim

Rudy rushed in the hallway to the room where Lu Bela had been hiding Maria and Lilim.

"I am sure they both are frightened without me. Or perhaps not. Lilim is a demon, so she must be trying to break out of the room, but there are chances that she is still pa.s.sed out.

That maid did say she would be out for 12 hours. Maybe Maria is also asleep. Wait… if both of them are still sleeping, and I take them back to the estate, they would never know all this happened.

Lilim would obviously remember that she was knocked out by the maids, but she wouldn't know she was brought here and how all of their lives were at risk. Well… not really.

I knew Lu Bela didn't mean a single word she said. I was already aware that the leader was Lu Bela since I had seen the dealer— Kim. I wouldn't have tried this hard if I knew that the Under Blades were behind all this.

I had to create and use an annoying ability. I am still waiting for my body to be fully reconstructed. Some of my cells are still lost in the atmosphere. I don't actually need them anymore, as my powers have already healed the rest of my body, but still, that ability is annoying.

I didn't sense any hostility coming from Lu Bela when she mentioned killing Maria and Lilim. However, she was indeed serious about killing Rusher and the others. I am just glad everything worked out."

SIGH!

Rudy stood in front of the room and took a deep breath before opening it. He wanted to use the see-through ability and look inside, but he wanted to surprise himself.

A few seconds later, he opened the door and saw Maria, Lilim, and the two maids playing a card game.

"..."

"You are here!" Maria said cheerfully.

"..." Rudy raised his brow in disbelief and asked, "What are you doing?"

"We were gambling to pa.s.s the time."

"Seriously?"

"What's wrong?" Maria asked with a confused look on her face. "Why do you look so… disappointed?"

"Do you know why you are here?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.

"Well… Lilim and the two maids told me 'you' are the one who brought me here…"

"And you believed it?"

"Lilim said it! I would obviously trust her! And the maids too. I know them very well. They are the head of the security team in the estate," Maria reported.

"Wait… wait… wait, these two maids actually work there?"

"Yeah? They have been working there for about a decade. However, they were s.h.i.+fted to the other team a few years ago as Lilim was going to be the next leader of the security team."

"What the—! I thought they broke in!"

"They did make it look like that, but that wasn't the case, " Lilim interjected. "To use that teleportation device, they need unique coordination that can only be generated from a source and destination. So they had to be in the estate to teleport there."

"But, they didn't even know your name."

"I don't know their names either. You wouldn't remember the names of everyone in your school, right?" Lilim asked.

"Yeah."

"Same here. Just like how you would know the names of your cla.s.smates, I know the names of my team members. And…." Lilim tapped on her ID card and said, "My name was written right here, and I don't know why they didn't call me by my name."

"Oh, we knew your name," the first maid said. "We are just bad with remembering stuff. We are defected and our memories are limited so we sisters share them to survive."

"Argh, f.u.c.k all this." Rudy hugged Maria and said, "I am glad you are okay."

"What's going on? I don't understand."

Maria was abducted in her sleep, and the maids hadn't used spray on her to knock her out. When she woke up, she found herself in a room with Lilim, but she was sleeping.

A minute later, the maids walked in and woke Lilim up with an anti-dose. Then, they explained everything to Lilim and asked her to not worry. Of course, she didn't trust them after what they had done to her, so Lu Bela herself came and told her plan to Lilim.

Lilim pondered for a while and realized that if she wanted to kill them, she would have done it long ago instead of waiting for Rudy to come. They both knew that Rudy was a Lord and his powers were unparalleled.

Thus, Lilim agreed. But when the Under Blades fired guns at Rusher and the others, Lilim realized she had made a big mistake. But it turned out that the bullets were never supposed to hit them. The Under Blades are trained, and they never miss their shot.

Even if Rudy hadn't arrived— although he had been there from the start, watching everything— nothing would have happened to them.

Lu Bela had confirmed that Rudy was the Lord, and thus, she wanted to call him out. And the best way to do that was to pretend to kill Rusher and the others.

"So that Lu b.i.t.c.h was lying all along?! She was playing with me all this time to get her wish fulfilled?!"

"Forgive me for that, My Lord," Lu Bela suddenly said from behind.

"Oh, I wish I could kill you…" Rudy muttered.

"You see, I hate planning stuff ahead as if the plan flopped, it would hurt. But this was an important event for me, and I couldn't risk ruining it in any way. I had thought of all the possibilities, and one of them was you not killing me.

However, I thought of that as forgiveness, but I was wrong. You are indeed formidable, as Rudy Ross and as a Lord. Is there anything I can do for you to compensate for what I did today?" Lu Bela asked in a calm voice.

"What can you do?"

"I cannot use my authority as leader of the UBC or Under Blades. Other than that, I can do anything as a person to help you out."

Rudy turned to Lu Bela and uttered, "I have heard your syndicate is an enemy of the Ross syndicate."

"That was when her… father was the boss. He had disturbed the peace of the underworld. But now, everything is chill. I don't know why Maria still considers me as her enemy," she said while looking at Maria.

"I just hate you for some reason…"

"Oh, by the way, I just got the news." Lu Bela showed her phone to Rudy and Maria and said, "Look who won the VIP Underworld Tournament."

"...!"
