Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 452 In the Name of Peace

"Prepare to die, Rusher Ross; this is the end of your syndicate. In the name of peace, I, the leader of the Under Blades, hereby adjure your and your family a death sentence!"

"Before you kill me, may I ask where Maria is?" Rusher asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry about her. She is safe. And we don't intend to kill her. She has nothing to do with this. However, if you keep resisting, then sadly, we will have to end her too."

"So if I let you kill me, my wife, and my parents, will you keep Maria from the wrath of the underworld?" Rusher asked with a serious look on his face.

"Indeed. But then again, if you agree or disagree, you don't have a say in this. You all are going to die anyway, so die a painless death instead of a painful one."

Rusher took a deep breath and nodded a couple of times before closing his eyes.

"I am ready."

The woman lowered her hand, and all of the hundreds of thousands of Under Blades pressed the trigger to shoot Rusher and his family. The bullets closed their distance with Rusher as they got closer.

Even if most of them missed the target, it was inevitable that at least one or two bullets would hit them, which could be enough to kill them.

"Oh, come on, father-in-law. I asked you to do one thing— to buy me time— and here you were about to die. Seriously, you never fail to disappoint me."

The bullets stopped in mid-air by an invisible force as Rudy's voice echoed in the massive hall room.

All the Under Blades glanced round, pointing their weapons with confused yet curious expressions on their faces behind the masks.

"Hey, hey, stop pointing guns at each other. What if you accidentally shoot someone? You will die! And I can't let that happen because the one who will kill you all is me!"

"This voice… I believe it's you, Rudy Ross?" the leader of the Under Blades asked.

"Oh my. The leader of the Under Blades knows my name? I am honored. Now I must honor you back somehow."

"Stop this game of hide and seek and show yourself to me."

"Oh? Stand aside, everyone. Let this woman see the face of the person who is going to end her life, but well… I am not here, so you wouldn't see me anyway," he scoffed out loud as he imitated what the woman had said to Rusher a while ago.

"What do you want, Rudy Ross? Shouldn't you be at the VIP underworld tournament? You had made a challenge, right? You are already late, and if you miss your match, you will lose and be disqualified.

And I believe you are smart enough to know what would happen if you lose. You will have to pay them one hundred times more than they bet on you. So one hundred times seven billion dollars would be seven hundred billion dollars.

How will you pay that large amount? Let me guess, you will respond with 'I will let Ross Syndicate pay for it'? If you don't know already, allow me to inform you that the Ross Syndicate doesn't have that much money.

They were 'once' the wealthiest syndicate in the underworld, but not anymore. The previous leader, Rusher Ross, used almost all the money. They have less than ten billion dollars fortune with them.

Why do you think I am doing all this? Because I like it? Do I look like a third-grade villain to you? No!

The Under Blades was created to ensure peace between all the syndicates, organizations, and gangs; in short, to ensure peace in the underworld.

Do you know why we are called Under Blades? A shield is to protect, and a blade is to cut. We are Under Blades because we don't have to protect the underworld to make peace; we just have to get rid of those who disturb the peace, which currently is Rusher Ross.

That is our job, and that is why we exist. Please don't compare me to everyone you have fought so far, Rudy Ross. Or should I call you, My Lord?

Since I have told you all this already, let me tell you what Rusher Ross did with all the fortune of the Ross Syndicate. He used them all! As I already said earlier, they now have less than ten billion dollars, which would be used in a month.

No one knows about it, and he worked hard to keep it a secret. He gave the regular fees to the syndicate members and acted normal. I watched him and his actions and kept silent. I thought he would stop one day, but he didn't.

He destroyed the syndicate. If the other members learn about it, they will leave the syndicate and riot against the Ross syndicate. There will be wars. The other organizations and syndicates will also take advantage of it.

There will be a war! And war is not peace!"

"Since you said so many things, why don't you mention where he spent all the money? I am curious, actually."

"Safety. Protection! Security. Bla bla bla. He was afraid of getting assassinated by someone. He was afraid of losing a family member. He invested money and gave 80% of the fortune to a merchant in return for the security.

And that merchant scammed him and ran away with all the money. His stupidity and cowardice destroyed the very syndicate he was trying so hard to protect!

He forgot one thing that the syndicate members are part of the syndicate because of what they get. A dog is a calm dog if you take care of it, but once you stop feeding it, it will bark and bite you, no matter how loyal it once was.

Humans are worse. They seek something in return all the time. Dare I say it is not a bad thing, but it certainly isn't good either. The underworld doesn't have rules and regulations, and everyone is free to do whatever the hell they want.

They can kill, beat, or commit any crimes. However, their death warrant is issued once they disturb the peace!"

"I am going to stop you right there," Rudy asserted as he suddenly appeared there out of nowhere.

He had gained a new ability to transport.
