"Why is the main character sniffing his sister's panties?" Lucy asked with a judging look on her face.

'I don't know either!' Rudy glared at Angelica and used telepathy to connect with her. 'What the fuck are you watching?! Since when did anime become so bold to show this stuff?!'

Angelica averted her gaze and turned up the volume even more.

'You bitch! So you are doing this on purpose!'

Rudy had forgotten that Angelica always liked when Rudy was in trouble. And now she took advantage of the situation and played a suitable anime.

"Uhh" Rudy turned off the television using his electrokinesis and said, "Oh. Why did it turn off all of a sudden?"

He used the 'play-dumb' card.

He smirked at Angelica and said, "Maybe we are experiencing a power outage again."

"Oh, no. What should we do?"

"Don't worry. Some appliances would still work. It's a problem with the voltage, and this television seems to be taking a load on the power," Rudy stated calmly without looking suspicious.

"Oh, I see. Does this happen regularly here?"

"Not so often, but sometimes, yeah."

"Okay."

"Putting all that aside, how was your relationship with Paul?" he asked in an emotionless voice.

Rudy wanted to ask this question to Lucy in his past life too, but he was afraid to know the truth. But this time, everything was different.

Lucy furrowed her brows in annoyance and asked, "Why do you want to know?"

'Judging by her reaction, she sure doesn't like Paul.'

"I was just curious. Joe had said that Paul is missing, so I was wondering if you are worried about him."

'Please say no!'

"Of course not. Why would I worry about him?" Lucy made a disgusted face and said, "I don't care where he is, and even if he dies, I won't shed a tear."

'Holy fuck! Her answer was better than I expected!'

Rudy couldn't hide his excitement after learning Lucy's thoughts on Paul. However, he was curious as to why Lucy hated Paul.

"If you don't mind, can I ask why you hate him?"

"Father already told you what type of disgrace he is. Do I need to tell you more?"

Rudy clenched his fists and asked, "Did he ever try to do anything to you?"

'Paul was a.. is a piece of shit. And if he had even touched Lucy, I would'

"No."

Rudy had never been as relieved before after hearing Lucy's response.

"I spent most of my time with my mother, and after my parents split up, it was only father and me in the apartment. I would often go to mom's house on weekends too. But I always had my guard up whenever Paul was in the apartment.

He was out most of the time anyway and returned at night when dad was around. When dad was on business trips, I lived at my friend's house, so it was never a big deal.

However, there was one night when"

Lucy paused and bit her lips.

Rudy furrowed his brows and asked, "What happened?"

"Dad had something urgent to do, so he was doing a night shift at the office. I was sleeping in my room and suddenly heard moaning and screams from the living room. I opened the door a little and peeked to see Paul had brought four of his friends.

They had called prostitutes and were having sex openly in the living room. I immediately closed and locked the door, but one of Paul's friends noticed it and started banging on my door.

The others also joined him and asked me to come out. I didn't reply and hid under the blanket. They kept passing nasty remarks, and Paul never stopped them. I called my dad immediately and told him everything.

He came home with the cops and got everyone kicked out of the house."

She stated in a calm voice but finished the last sentence with a sigh.

"As long as you are okay." Rudy finally sat up on the couch and asked, "By the way, do you know the names of Paul's friends?"

"No why would I know that"

Rudy placed his hand on Lucy's shoulder and said, "Joe said Paul is missing, so I wondered if they would know where he is."

Lucy shook her head and muttered, "I still remember their faces, but I don't know their names."

"Well, that's fine." Rudy changed the topic and asked, "How much time for dinner?"

"I am making chicken curry and a few other side dishes. So it can take up to an hour at the least," Lucy responded and glanced at the kitchen to check if the stove was still on.

"Oh, okay." Rudy got up from the couch and said, "I have something to do, so I will excuse myself."

"Are you going out again?"

"Yes."

Lucy bit her lips and asked, "Can't you go after eating dinner? I am making so many dishes for you."

"Hmm?"

"And your mom," she shortly added.

"I will be back before dinner. Just going to walk around the town and maybe buy something for dinner tonight?"

"I have already bought everything."

"Okay. Then I will be back soon."

Lucy puffed her cheeks and said, "If you don't return by the time of dinner, I am never making you breakfast, lunch, or dinner again."

Rudy left the house, and Angelica came rushing after him.

"Where are you going?"

"I am just going to clean some trash. You can stay here if you want as I won't take that long."

"You are going to hunt Paul's friends?" Angelica asked to confirm.

"Yeah."

"But you know nothing about them, so how will you find them?"

"I touched Lucy when I asked her about Paul's friends. It was to read her mind and know their faces," Rudy calmly responded.

"Uhh" Angelica hopped in front of Rudy and asked, "And how will you know their name by their faces? Forget that. How will you get their addresses?"

"Did you forget about my ability to interfere with the signals? I can hack into any database and find out everything I want."

"In fact, I already found them," he said with a proud look on his face.
