Chapter 849 Unwavering Resolve
849 Unwavering Resolve
"We can explore and indulge in so many more things than we did tonight. I want to try everything you have done with the other girl," Rebecca whispered mischievously.
Rudy, intrigued by Rebecca's words, met her gaze with curiosity. A playful smile tugged at the corners of his lips. "Is that so? What do you have in mind? Do you even know about the endless possibilities of what a man and a woman can do if they are left alone?"
Rebecca's eyes sparkled with desire as she whispered her secret fantasies to Rudy, her voice laced with excitement and longing. She painted a vivid picture of their shared desires, promising an afternoon of unbridled passion and exploration.
With a mixture of eagerness and restraint, Rudy listened intently, captivated by Rebecca's words. He reciprocated with his own desires, their intimate conversation deepening their connection further.
They eventually drifted to sleep in each other embrace on a soft, comfortable bed.
After resting for a few hours, Rudy slowly opened his eyes and looked at Rebecca's sleeping face.
He carefully extricated himself from Rebecca's embrace, his movements cautious not to disturb Rebecca, who lay beside him.
Rebecca's eyes fluttered open, a sliver of moonlight streaming into the room, casting a soft glow on the bed. As she shifted slightly, she became aware of a subtle movement beside her. Curiosity piqued, she propped herself up on one elbow, her senses on high alert.
In the dimly lit room, Rebecca's gaze fell upon Rudy, who was gingerly slipping out of bed, his movements cautious and purposeful. Her heart skipped a beat, a mix of concern and confusion flooding her thoughts. She whispered, her voice laced with worry, "Rudy, what's going on? Where are you going?"
Rudy froze in his tracks, caught off guard by Rebecca's awakening. He turned slowly, his eyes meeting hers, a mix of surprise and determination flickering within them. "Rebecca," he began, his voice filled with a mix of regret and resolve, "I didn't mean to wake you. There's something I need to do. I will be back by the time you wake up."
Rebecca's brow furrowed, a wave of apprehension washing over her. "Are you going to investigate the secret facility in area 69?"
"I have to leave," he said, his voice tinged with a heavy sigh. "Yes. It has to be dealt with. It poses a significant threat, and I cannot ignore it."
A flicker of hurt crossed her face as she processed his words. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, her voice filled with a mix of determination and apprehension.
"Don't go, please," she said.
Rudy's expression softened, his gaze filled with affection and remorse. He approached her, taking her hand gently on his own.
"I have to. I can't ignore it now that I know where it is located. I have to get rid of the facility and the organization running it. I have to remove the trace of the supergene experiments before it becomes a bigger mess."
"B-But it's dangerous!" Rebecca's concern deepened, her voice laced with a mixture of worry and determination.
"Nothing can be more dangerous than me," he shrugged with a soft chuckle and a wry smile.
Tears welled in her eyes as she took a step closer, her voice barely above a whisper. "But as you said, they are the results of the supergene experiments. They are not normal humans or a race that you can deal with. That hoodie man the other day who came to the store… he was one of the test subjects, wasn't he?
You had trouble dealing with him. He was just one. The hidden facility must have thousands of them, or even more. You can't handle them all at once. They must also have advanced weapons to restrain the test subjects from going rogue. I won't let you go there, not alone!"
Rudy's heart ached as he looked into her eyes, the weight of his duty conflicting with the depth of his feelings for her. He reached out, gently cupping her face, his touch tender and filled with regret.
"I know the risk and I know I may not come out unharmed. They might have weapons to deal with me. They have beings of other races as captives and they contain the knowledge." He confessed, his voice laced with sincerity. "But that's why I need to go now. I have to take care of this matter before they send an army of superhumans to our doorstep.
They already sent one, so what's stopping them from launching an attack? I don't want you or my harem to be involved in this. Those superhumans might have a perfect power to counter their attacks. I know that they are not the small fries I have dealt with so far. However, I promise you that I wouldn't even let them scratch me. You have to believe me, mom."
Rebecca searched his eyes, seeking reassurance and finding a glimmer of hope. With a deep breath, she nodded, her voice laced with both acceptance and determination. "I believe in you, so you must keep your promise."
A soft smile played on his lips as he leaned in, pressing a tender kiss on her forehead. "I promise, my love," he whispered, his voice filled with conviction.
"Hmm," she nodded hesitantly.
With a mix of relief and resolution, Rudy pulled Rebecca close, capturing Rebecca's lips in a tender kiss.
"You may go back to sleep."
Rebecca puckered her lips and muttered, "How do you expect me to fall back to sleep when I know you are risking your life out there?"
"Hehe. I will go now. Take it easy." Rudy reluctantly left the room through the window and disappeared into the sky.
Rebecca walked to the window and watched Rudy leave, her eyes fixated on the direction he went. She placed her hand on her chest and took a moment to ponder something.
She shook her head and turned around. "If I keep worrying, that would mean I didn't believe in Rudy's promise. I have to stay calm and positive."
