Rudy and Lu Bela were sitting on the chair in front of each other with a gun on the table in between. He turned to Kim and said:

"It's your turn to work, Miss dealer."

Kim slowly moved her hand to the gun and spun on the table.

SPUN!

After a few seconds, the gun stopped pointing at Rudy.

"Wow." Rudy groaned. "I don't need luck in this game."

Rudy grabbed the gun and placed it in his hand. He could see what bullet he had by scanning the gun, but he didn't. He wanted to enjoy the thrill of the game even though he knew nothing could happen to him.

Rudy slowly moved his finger on the trigger and pressed it.

CLICK!

However, it turned out empty.

'Now, there is an 85% chance that the next bullet will hit Bella,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

Rudy tossed the gun to Lu Bela and said, "Your turn."

Lu Bela looked at the gun and said, "There are high chances that I will die. So do you want to know anything?"

"Tell me about the merchant."

"The merchant wears a mask, so I don't know his identity, but his voice sounded manly, so I assumed he was a man. Moreover, he was not a resident of the Underworld," Lu Bela said.

"Where can I find him?"

"He comes to the merchant zone to sell the advanced stuff. The last time he came was two months ago. So you will find him next week," Lu Bela responded honestly.

"Do you have any contact information or any means of communication with that merchant?"

"No."

"I see."
'I can still track the woman with the chip I had marked, but that won't lead me anywhere. I now know the location and arrival of that merchant, but waiting for a month? That's a long period.

However, there is no other way. Maybe I will do something else in that period? I have to go pick up Rias, Jane, Niti, and Vriti at the end of this week. And that portal only stays open for an hour, so I will have to hurry.

I don't think I have anything else to do. Renovating Reina's waterpark will take time, so I guess I will have to find a contractor who can help me design the world's best theme park.'

Rudy was making plans for the future in the middle of a death game.

Lu Bela pointed the gun at her head and asked, "Do you not want to know about my clones, or should I say, Shells?"

"How long would it take for your data to be uploaded into a new body?"

"About twenty-four hours."

"That's enough time. I assume Miss Dealer knows where your shells are, am I right?"

"Indeed."

"Then fear not. If you die, you won't ever wake up. I will destroy your data and all your shells within the next twenty-four hours," Rudy said in a solemn voice.

Lu Bela closed her eyes and pressed the trigger.

CLICK!

However, it was also empty.

"Talk about luck."

Lu Bela gave the gun to Kim, and Kim spun the cylinder before giving the gun to Rudy.

'Great. Now the probability has reset. Not going to lie, this game is actually exhilarating for some reason. I know I won't die even if the bullet hits me, but still... it's giving me an unfamiliar sense of feeling.'

Rudy placed the gun on his neck and pressed the trigger.

CLICK!

SHOT!

"....!"

That was a clean hit.

Lu Bela gulped down anxiously with a baffled look on her face and slowly opened her mouth to ask, "Are you okay?"

Rudy removed the gun and showed her the squished bullet on his neck. Not only that, but the muzzle of the gun had also broken because of the high pressure with immense force.

SIGH!
Rudy let out a short sigh and tossed the gun to the other side of the massive hole.

"I lost."

"Wait... no..." Lu Bela got up from her seat and said, "This is not how it was supposed to happen. You have to kill me!"

"Yeah.

"Then why did you throw the gun? It was still usable even after that!" Lu Bela yelled.

"Yeah."

"Then why--!"

Rudy took a deep breath and slowly got up from his chair while glaring at Lu Bela.

"You see, I don't kill my enemies; I make them suffer hell, quite literally. And if you think you are not my enemy, then you are wrong. Honestly, I would have still forgiven you if your only target was Rusher and the others.

Even if you had kidnapped Maria and Lilim, I would have forgiven you as long as you hadn't harmed them. But you threatened to harm them, which was the limit you crossed.

Usually, I would kill them after brutal torture, but you are different. I can't even torture you because you don't feel pain. You did everything to die. And killing you would be a form of forgiveness.

You want to die. After all, you are tired of this world because you are suffering in this world. Therefore, my revenge on you is your suffering. I will do the exact opposite of what you want.

I will let you live so you can continue to suffer for eternity!"

"But you promised that if I gamble with you, you will--!"

Rudy raised both his hands and formed a fist. Then, he slowly raised his middle fingers on both hands and said, "Why did you think I would fulfill my promise, you bitch!"

"No... way...." Lu Bela dropped to her knees and muttered, "You were my last hope."

"Then keep hoping."

"The Lord is supposed to grant everyone's wish..."

"Well, I am not that kind-hearted."

"Why... Why did this happen? I thought I would finally be released into this world. Artificial humans can't even go to heaven or hell because we are not created by the Lord or God. Then... what am I supposed to do...?"

Rudy smirked viciously and snickered, "Suffer! Keep living as you have been living. Continue your suffering!"

"..."

"Now, tell me where you are keeping Maria and Lilim. Maybe I can still make it to the VIP tournament."
