Chapter 415 Shot Dead
SHOT!
"No!" Maria shouted.
The boss took out his gun from his coat and shot Rudy in the head. Rudy"s body fell flat to the floor with a loud thud on his face.
"Father!" Rusher yelled at the top of his lungs with a baffled face. "What the f.u.c.k did you just do?!"
Rusher s.n.a.t.c.hed the gun from the boss and threw it on the other side of the room.
"What the f.u.c.k is wrong with you?! She was the champion of the VIP tournament and an important guest of ours!"
"Demon! Demon! It has come to drag me to h.e.l.l! Demon! h.e.l.l! h.e.l.l!" The boss began to behave oddly, as though he was going through a traumatic experience.
"Calm down, father."
"I won"t go! I won"t go to h.e.l.l! I have been good for the last twenty years of my life! I don"t want to go to h.e.l.l! I don"t want to die!"
Rusher grabbed the boss and turned to his wife with an anxious look on his face.
"Bring mother here."
"Right away!" Rusher"s wife rushed out of the room to bring the boss" wife.
"I won"t go! I won"t go!" the boss kept mumbling.
A few butlers came rushing in after hearing the gunshot, and they saw Rudy on the ground with Maria weeping on his dead body.
"Hey, you. Take him to his room and call the doctor immediately!" Rusher ordered.
The butlers did as Rusher asked them to do and carried the boss out of the living room.
SIGH!
"I shouldn"t have allowed my father to come out of his room or meet a stranger." Rusher covered his face with his hands and muttered, "How the h.e.l.l did he get a gun?"
Rusher glanced at Maria from the corner of his eyes and bit his lips.
"I don"t know what to say. This was obviously my fault for not stopping my father. I really don"t know what to say. But I have to do something before Maria gets into a mental breakdown again."
Rusher gulped down anxiously and sat beside Maria.
"Maria…" He placed his hand on Maria"s shoulder. "I know it"s not the right time to say this, but I—"
"It"s all my fault!" she lamented. "I shouldn"t have brought him to the inner area! I should have taken him directly to my room!"
"Him…?" Rusher raised his brow in confusion.
Maria quickly grabbed the gun Rusher had thrown and pointed it at her head.
"Maria, what are you doing!"
"I will also kill myself!" she moved her finger to the trigger.
"Calm down, Maria. You have to think about others. What would father do? What would Ruby do?"
"I don"t care! I don"t want to live if Rudy is not with me!"
Maria pressed the trigger and shot herself in the head, or that would have happened, but the trigger was stuck for some reason.
PHEW!
Rusher let out a big sigh in relief and s.n.a.t.c.hed the gun from Maria"s hand. He checked the bullets and gulped down nervously after seeing it was fully loaded.
He placed the gun under his coat and said, "I will take care of the rest. Tell me her address so I can visit her family and give them money as compensation."
"Do you think money can solve everything?!"
"No. Of course not. But it can help. She was a gambler, and gambler only gambles for one thing- money."
"No! Rudy was different!"
"You should go to your room." Rusher looked at Rudy"s body and muttered, "I have to take care of many things now."
"No! I won"t leave! I will kill myself! It"s all my fault!" Maria glanced around in anger to find a weapon she could use to kill herself, but there was only one place she could find a weapon, and that was the kitchen.
Rusher realized what Maria was going to do, so he stepped in the way and said, "Listen, Maria. We are Mafias, and you are one too. You have to get used to losing your loved ones. It happens all the time."
"Is that so?! Then let me kill myself so you can lose me!"
Rusher facepalmed himself at his stupidity and muttered, "My mind is not working."
Suddenly, Rudy sat up and stared at Maria with a dazed expression on his face.
Maria was facing Rusher, and Rusher was facepalming himself, so neither of them saw Rudy get up. But when they realized someone was standing in the room, their eyes widened in shock but for a different reason.
Rusher"s face turned pale when he saw Rudy was unscathed. While Maria"s face turned bright and she rushed to his arms.
"Rudy! You are alive!" she said cheerfully without caring for anything in the world.
"Wha..t?" Rusher was still baffled, and he couldn"t believe his eyes. "How… why… why are you alive?"
"Why are you shocked?! You should be happy, you motherf.u.c.k— you sister f.u.c.ker!" Rudy yelled inwardly.
"Actually, the bullet never hit me. It sc.r.a.ped me a little on the side of my head, that"s all. I just pa.s.sed out from a sudden shock," Rudy responded while showing his blood-stained hand to Rusher.
"That"s impossible! Before becoming the Mafia Lord, father was the number one hitman of the underworld, and he has never missed a target in his lifetime. He shot you from a distance less than an arm. There is no way he would have missed it!" Rusher retorted.
"Perhaps he is getting old?"
"Putting all that aside, if someone else shot me, that person would already be having a s.p.a.ce trip by now. But it was Maria"s family member. Although I am p.i.s.sed off right now, I will forgive the old man.
His one leg is already in the grave, and he will die soon eventually. What I am surprised about is his reaction. The expression on his face was real. He was genuinely afraid of me.
His fear was justifiable. And why did he call me a demon? Come to think of it, when I met Maria for the first time and dropped me off, she mentioned in the car that her father was an evil piece of s.h.i.t but suddenly turned saint.
I am pretty sure I triggered his old trauma or something. He was yelling nonsense earlier too. Tch! I am tired of all this. I will just resort to my final plan."
