"They should recognize you at first glance, right?" Rudy asked Reina.
"Yeah."
They made their way to the bank, however, it was closed.
"..."
Rudy walked to the security guard and asked, "Why is the bank closed?"
"They are restoring the hole in the ceiling and upgrading their security system. The bank will stay closed for the next three to four weeks," he responded. "But if you have anything urgent, you can go to their house and get it done."
"Got it."
Rudy turned to Reina and asked, "What should we do?"
"We can come after the bank re-opens. They gave us three months to repay the loan, so I think we have enough time," Reina muttered.
"How about we go to their house?"
"I don't know…"
"Let's go then."
Rudy and Reina went back to the alley and then teleported near Scott's house.
"Wow… their house is bigger than I expected…" Reina muttered while looking at the house with wide eyes.
"Excuse me, we are here to pay the loan. The bank is closed, and we were told to come here."
The guards looked at the briefcases in Rudy's hands and said, "Open it."
Rudy opened the bag and showed them the money with a smile on his face.
"Hmm." The guard nodded at the other guard and pressed the switch outside the gate, which opened one gate.
[All clear,] the guard said on the walkie-talkie.
More guards were on the other side of the gate, but they opened it and welcomed Rudy and Reina.
The chief guard pointed his finger at the guard and said, "This guard will take you to Mister Willow."
They followed the guard inside, and Rudy saw a familiar figure standing in the living room. He raised his brow with an amused expression on his face and smirked before handing the briefcases to Reina.
He rushed to the person and said, "Yo. What's up."
"..."
The person was none other than John, who was as surprised as Rudy upon seeing him.
"You… Rudy Ross. What are you doing here?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Even though I had told you yesterday, 'Let's never meet again.', we met again. Maybe it's fate," Rudy wondered.
"Answer my question."
Rudy pointed his gaze at Reina and said, "This girl is a close friend of Miss Maria, so I was told to accompany her on the errand. What are you doing here?"
"That's confidential information."
"Do you live here? Is this your house?" Rudy asked jokingly.
Rudy knew exactly why John was there.
'It's probably about Scott. His family must have hired them to search for him. Too bad they would never be able to find him,' Rudy smirked inwardly.
A few minutes later, Scott's father arrived with two agents.
"Take care of them," he said to the agents.
The agents took Rudy and Reina to a different room while John stayed with Scott's father.
Reina provided the documents required and signed them while the agents confirmed the authenticity of the money.
"Two million dollars is a big amount, and getting them in cash is not something everyone can do. Can I ask how you got this money?" the agent asked.
