Chapter 463 Angry Fans
Chapter 463 Angry Fans
Maria and Lilim made their way to the estate's main balcony and couldn't help but drop their jaws after what they saw.
There were five helicopters in the air above the estate, dozens of jeeps and motorbikes, and hundreds of thousands of people marching towards the estate.
The guards at the estate were holding them off, and Lu Bela had also sent Under Blades army to protect Maria and Lilim.
"What will you do now… Rudy?" Maria wondered.
"Bring us, Rudy Ross!" They yelled furiously.
"Yeah!"
"Where is he?!"
"Bring him out!"
"We trusted him, and he betrayed us!"
"Is this how he treats his fans?!"
Maria and Lilim watched as everyone broke through the first check post. They were using mics and speakers to make their voices loud.
The jeeps were carrying big speakers and gang members, and dozens of jeeps were on the way.
The helicopters had the UBC members and Under Blades guards carrying advanced weapons that could turn anyone into ashes upon firing.
Lu Bela had sent them to protect Maria and Lilim.
"Daddy said he would be here in a minute, but it has been five minutes! Where is he?!" Lilim yelled next to Maria.
The noise of the helicopters was so loud that Lilim had to yell to talk to Maria even though they were standing next to each other.
"Did you say something?!"
"….nevermind," Lilim sighed.
[Take action if they break through the fifth check post,] Lu Bela ordered them although she was sitting in her underground palace.
The noise outside was so loud that even a gunshot wouldn't be heard if someone were to fire the gun in between.
However, they all went silent when they saw the sky getting covered with black clouds and the thunder roaring across.
"You can move your choppers, Lu Bela. I don't want to owe you in any way," Rudy's voice echoed with the lightning.
The choppers flew even higher as Rudy finally made his entrance. He was pulling five huge carts covered with shiny clothes.
He stood on the balcony between Maria and Lilim and watched his fans making riot.
"What's up, guys? How's it going?!"
"Give us our money back!" Someone yelled.
"Yeah, yeah!"
'Damn, they aren't even ready to listen to me. I bet half of them haven't even bet money on me, and they are just here to join the fun.'
Rudy made the clouds thunder again, but this time, even louder.
"My dear fans, how about another challenge?"
"Fuck off!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"You will steal our money again!"
SIGH!
Rudy looked up at the choppers and asked, "Do you have hologram projectors?"
"We do."
"Good. Show me the underworld ranking."
A drone dropped from the chopper and stopped mid-air above everyone else. Then, it projected a hologram that showed underworld ranking.
'Damn, I dropped to #7. Most of them pulled their bets back and got their money. And they still came here to get more. Well, a promise is a promise and credit when the credit is due.'
"Send another drone with a detailed list of the people who betted on me. And another with the list of the people who already withdrew their money," Rudy ordered.
A few seconds later, two more drones came down and projected two more screens with the detailed ranking on them.
"Alright!" Rudy said aloud. "Those who have come to get their money for the challenge stand on the left side. And those who are interested in my next challenge, stand on the right."
Out of 100%, 90% of them stood on the left side, and only 10% of them stood on the right.
Rudy furrowed his brows and said, "As for those, who hadn't betted on me and are still here to collect the money, thinking they would get it for free, you have a chance to leave now."
"...."
"I have a detailed list of who had credit money on me. And if I don't find you on that list, the UBC will fine you a huge sum!"
Out of the 90%, 25% backed off and stood in the corner.
'Motherfuckers…' Rudy sighed.
"Okay. I am ready to give you a hundred times the money you betted on me, but unfortunately, I don't have cash with me. That's why…"
Rudy grabbed the cloth covering one of the carts and pulled it, revealing a golden glowing metal.
There were ten thousand gold biscuits weighing one kilo each in one cart; he had five carts full of them.
"Whoa!"
"That's why, I will give this according to your betting amount. Stand in a line. I will call your name in alphabetical order and give it to you," Rudy stated.
When everyone needed a mic with speakers or a communication device to speak out loud, Rudy's voice alone was enough to spread out around the entire area.
"Uhh… you were saying something about another challenge. What is it?" someone from the left side asked.
"Hmm~ That challenge is only for those who haven't withdrawn their money yet."
In the next few seconds, Rudy's rank jumped from #7 to #5.
"Of course, regardless, whether they have or have not withdrawn their money, they will get one hundred times more money as promised. But the former one won't get to participate in the next challenge. It's only for my true fans. If they want to participate, they can deposit the money again and join."
Out of the remaining 65% on the left side, 50% of them moved to the right side.
#5 ⇒ #4.
"This will be the last call. You are free to do whatever you want. I won't force you to do something you don't want to, but know that it will be your loss."
Out of the remaining 15%, 9% of them moved to the right, leaving only 6% on the left, who didn't seem to be interested in Rudy's next challenge. The other 69% of the right side had credited the amount back to Rudy and joined his army of true fans.
However, his rank still remained at #4.
Even though he had recovered most of his fans and worth, he had lost his fame.
"Alright, let's do this."

The answer to the question in the last chapter is indeed Rize as stated in previous chapters. But Rudy could be hiding something.
