Chapter 160 Mess With Me, And I Will Mess You Up "I already told you that I am not the Rudy you once knew. I am… not the same kind and naive Rudy. I have changed. People change. My powers have changed me, or perhaps they gave me a reason to change. Maybe I was always like this."
"..."
"But Alice, I am the same Rudy you love, and that's not going to change. I will be kind with you and my loved ones, and cruel with my enemies," he added.
Alice finally made eye contact with Rudy and opened her mouth to say, "Always remember; be kind but not weak, be strong but not rude, be humble but not timid, be proud but not egoist, and at last, be confident but not arrogant."
"Wow… that was… deep and meaningful…" Rudy uttered. "And why does it feel like you already had this quote planned?"
"Because you were the one who said it to me," Alice responded.
CRACK!
After hearing that, a scene flashed before Rudy's eyes for a split second, but he couldn't see it properly.
'What was that?" Rudy wondered. He placed his hand on his chest and clenched a fist in frustration as he thought, 'And why do I suddenly feel angry and sad at the same time?'
"Are you okay?" Alice asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Yeah," Rudy replied with a smile on his face
After that, Rudy and Alice walked home while talking about various things.
Rudy noticed at George's car was parked, meaning he was home, so Rudy didn't try to kiss or hug Alice. He also felt the disturbance in electric signals, seemingly the camera was turned on and working.
After dropping Alice at her home, Rudy walked to his house. But open reaching there, he noticed there was a truck parked in front of his house.
"...." Rudy rushed to his house and asked the man, who was standing near the open truck. "May I help you?" he asked in a calm voice.
"Uhh…" the man looked at Rudy and asked, "Does this house belong to miss Rebecca?"
"Yes. And I am her son," Rudy responded and looked at the brand name on the truck. "Did mom order something online? I doubt."
Rudy activated his see-through ability and looked inside the truck to see the interior belongings of the house. He recognized a few things inside and immediately figured out what was going on.
'So it's from Joe's apartment,' Rudy uttered inwardly. 'Mom did say they will start moving their stuff over the week.'
"Can you please call your mother? She has to sign the letter so we can start moving the stuff into the house," the man said in a calm voice. "We tried ringing the doorbell, but it's not working. And I even tried knowing one the door, but no one responded. Is your mother currently not home?"
'She should be sleeping as I came home as soon as the school hours ended instead of loitering around.'
"Yea, she is not home." Rudy grabbed the paper from the man's hand and said, "I will sign here in her stead. You can start moving the stuff."
"But the process is on the name of—" before the man could even finish what he was saying, Rudy, pulled a pen from his bag and signed the paper.
He then handed it to the man and said, "Don't worry, everything that belongs to her is mine, including herself. I am her son, after all."
"...." the man was left baffled after hearing that, but he assumed he heard wrong.
However, Rudy once again didn't think of what he said and simply blurted it out without thinking of the consequences.
Rudy walked to the front door and took out the key from his pocket. After unlocking the door, Rudy first entered the living room and went straight to Rebecca's room to check on her.
She was sleeping on the bed with her body covered with a blanket.
"She is usually awake by this time, but I guess she was extra exhausted today as she also came late from her work." Rudy smiled after looking at Rebecca and said, "I will let her sleep and take care of the stuff."
Rudy left Rebecca's room and went outside, to see the two men had already started emptying the truck. However, something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, why are you guys placing everything on the street? You have to take everything inside too," Rudy said to the two men.
"No, we are supposed to leave everything outside. That's what we are told," the man replied.
Rudy raised his brow with a knowing look on his face and said, "Read the 13th point of the letter I just signed. It's clearly written that you have to drop everything inside the house."
The man took out the letter from his pocket, and Rudy was indeed telling truth.
'How did he read the paper so fast? He only signed it in like 3 seconds. There is no way he actually read the entire thing in 3 seconds, right?!' the man panicked.
"What's wrong?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face. "Could it be that you are illiterate and you can't read?"
The man grabbed the pen and scribbled on the 13th point of the letter.
"My manager must have forgotten to cut this point in a hurry," the man said in an arrogant tone and resumed emptying the truck.
'His attitude suddenly changed after I told him that mom is not home. He probably wanted to trouble mom. Thank fuck I came home early.'
Rudy wanted to call Joe and confirm if the contract was to leave the stuff outside the house, but Rudy didn't have his phone and even then, he was sure that Joe would never want to leave the stuff outside as he knew Rebecca couldn't possibly carry them in.
SIGH!
Rudy let it slide as he wanted them to go as soon as possible, so he waited for them to empty the truck entirely.
Once they were done, they left.
However, they were trying to trouble Rebecca, so he wasn't letting them go so easily.
He punctured all the truck tires, so when they traveled far enough to the main street, the tires would run out of air and they would be stuck with four punctured tires.
"Mess with me, and I will mess you up," Rudy murmured.
After that, Rudy used telekinesis and carried everything inside without breaking a sweat.
