Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 427 Underworld Tournament

It has been two hours since Rudy entered the tournament grounds and began playing one match after another. Although he had only played three matches so far, it was time-consuming.

No, his matches didn't last long, but the waiting time between one game and the next was long.

Since it was the underworld tournament, some rules were different from the casino tournaments, in addition to a few new rules. However, Rudy, of course, didn't care about all that.

He won all the matches and was granted the green light to the semi-finals. To pass the time, Rudy was playing small matches with his fans who wanted to ask for his autograph.

Rudy was taken aback when the first person approached him and asked for an autograph. He first assumed the person was joking, but it turned out to be real. Rudy himself had no idea how much fame he had gained in the underworld and how many people wanted to meet and shake hands with him.

When Rudy signed an autograph to the first person, many stood in line for the same, which made Rudy regret signing the first autograph. However, Rudy had an excellent idea that helped him earn more money by doing nothing.

Whoever came for the autograph must gamble with him. It didn't matter if they won or lost; they had to gamble in order to get Rudy's autograph.

Of course, it was impossible for anyone to beat Rudy, but if he had asked for the money upfront, he might have lost his fame, which he didn't want to happen.

Regardless, his fans were delighted because not only were they getting Rudy's autograph, but they also got a chance to gamble with him.

There was no minimum or maximum limit to bet, so anyone could come and gamble with him if they wanted.

So far, Rudy had won ten million dollars from the tournament, while he was about to win a sum of one million from gambling with his fans.

At this point, money didn't matter to Rudy. He already had more than enough money to live his life in luxury, but that wasn't his goal.

He had been taking care of Rebecca daily and checking her health to make sure she wasn't tiring herself out. But Rebecca has been healthier than ever, and day by day, her happiness was increasing for some reason.

Maria was also gambling on the other table beside Rudy as she was getting bored, and it was her chance to gamble as much as she wanted.

On the other hand, Angelica had woken up soon after the tournament started. She was the most excited to see the colosseum and couldn't help but compare it with the one in the vampire world.

She didn't feel like coming out of Rudy's body as there were so many people around, but Rudy convinced her otherwise.

At first, Rudy had activated his super sense to ensure Maria's safety, but the noise was too much, and the supersenses made Rud sensitive to even a faint whisper.

Not only that, but there were loudspeakers, screens, and lights all over the colosseum, which made it harder for him to keep it activated, so he asked Angelica to keep extra eyes on Maria.

The lights were so bright that if someone woke up in the colosseum, they would think it was a day.

One more hour passed, but Rudy was still waiting for his match to start. After hitting one million dollars, he stopped the autograph session, and his fans were surprisingly cooperative with him.

The anchor received news that Rusher Ross had already won the finale of the underground tournament in another city of the underworld.

'Since there can only be one winner, Rusher entered the other tournament. It was a wise decision, in my opinion, as Rusher is now qualified for the VIP underground tournament, and I will too once I win the next two matches.

I am just surprised that the underworld is letting such a scheme slide. The more gamblers (of the same organization/syndicate) participate in different tournaments, the higher the chance they win the next tournament.

Suppose, I win this tournament and enter the VIP underworld tournament, there are chances that I will have to gamble against Rusher too. If that happens, no matter who wins or loses, the victory will go to the syndicate.

But too bad, Rusher. Even though you own a casino, you can't win against me. Why is he gambling anyway? He is rich as fuck, so I doubt he is gambling for money. It's most likely for the same reason as mine; to enter the VVIP tournament.'

A few minutes later, Rudy was called on the stage for the semi-finals. And his opponent— Damian, was the heir of one of the big syndicates.

'I can already see where this is going….' Rudy sighed.

He sat on the chair while Maria sat on the couch on the side. And, of course, Angelica's seat was Rudy's lap.

The players were allowed to decide what type of game they wanted to play, but the consent of both parties was needed. Rudy was okay with anything, so he let Damian decide the game, and he decided the game he was best at.

The game was chess, and Rudy happened to be a professional in chess as he played in his free time, which also helped him concentrate better.

'I kind of pity Damian now. The kid was excited, but oh well. This world is cruel, and life is indeed hard even when you have everything.'

Said the person who was going to make Damian's life hard.

"Ahahaha! You are done, you outsider!" Damian scoffed out loud.

'There he goes. Why can't they keep their mouth shut and just play? This is a gambling tournament, not your fucking house. Like seriously, come on, man. You can do that after the match has ended. I am in a hurry, and people like you are all talk with no balls to do anything.'
