"Get rich…?" Angelica muttered.

  "Yeah. I have to get money, so mom doesn't have to work at all," Rudy stated.

  "But isn't it okay now? Your mother has already decided to marry Joe, and he will contribute his part to the house. Besides, both parents work in every household, right? It's not something new," Angelica asserted. "It's a parent's job to earn money and take care of their kids."

  "You are right, but mom has done enough for me. Now, it's my turn to fulfill all her dreams and make her happy." Rudy looked into Angelica's eyes and said, "You have no idea how cute she is when she smiles."

  "……" Angelica raised her brows and thought, 'Is he even listening to himself? I am worried he might do something to Joe if he tried to get closer to Rebecca…'

  Angelica had realized what Rudy hadn't. But she couldn't dare to tell that to Rudy for obvious reasons. And even if she had, she knew Rudy would deny the claim.

  'He has to realize this on his own. Otherwise, it wouldn't matter,' Angelica uttered inwardly.

  "What? Why are you staring at me like you are going to eat my soul or something…" Rudy commented after noticing Angelica had been staring at him without blinking.

  "How do you plan to get rich?" Angelica asked.

  "Well… there are many ways, but let's see what comes up on the internet." Rudy took out his phone and searched for the same thing.

  A list came up in an article that said: Easy way to earn money without working hard.

  1)Become a robber.

  "That's a big no," Rudy shook his head and said, "We are not doing anything illegal."

  "Why not?" Angelica asked. "That's the easiest way."

  "Did you seriously just ask me why I don't want to rob someone?" Rudy asked in disbelief. "Listen, even if robbing is bad and illegal, that's not the only reason I don't want to do it."

  Angelica folded her arms below her bosom and said, "Please explain."

  "If I rob someone, I will get easy money. But in return, I won't only be robbing someone, I would be hurting them too. I would be stealing their hard-earned money, and who knows what they planned to do with the money." Rudy shook his head and uttered, "I grew up in a low-class family, so I know how hard it is to survive in this cruel world. I can't destroy someone's life from my selfishness.

  "Unless, of course, they tried to mess with mine first," Rudy added.

  "So…" Angelica looked at Rudy from the corners of her eyes and asked, "What if we rob someone rich?"

  "The only rich family in this town is Anon, and I am not robbing my friend's house," Rudy scoffed out loud.

  "What if… we rob a bank in a big city?" Angelica suggested.

  "Would you please stop trying to make me a robber?" Rudy sighed. "I told you, I am not doing any illegal activity using my power."

  "Fine~" Angelica groaned with a grin on her face.

  "……" After seeing the grin on Angelica's face, Rudy squinted his eyes and asked, "Don't tell me you were just trying to pull my leg."

  Angelica shook her head and said, "I was just testing you. I wanted to see if you chose the illegal path or stayed as a saint."

  "I am neither of them…" Rudy looked up at the sky and muttered, "I have done many horrible things in my past life, and I already destroyed one life in this life."

  After a brief pause, Rudy said, "And I am sure I will be doing more bad things in the future. So I don't expect myself to be a hero of justice. That's not my thing. Even life is not fair with everyone, and I am just somebody who somehow got superpowers."

  The second option on the list was: 2) Become a drug dealer.

  "What the fuck is wrong with this list?!" Rudy shouted out loud in the middle of nowhere.

  The third option was: 3) Stock and investment.

  "Finally, something legal," Rudy sighed. "But this is useless."

  "How so?" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face.

  "The word 'invest' is enough for me to answer that question." Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't have money to invest and time to waste."

  The fourth option was: 4) Become an internet celebrity.

  "I will pass on this one."

  The fifth option was: 5) Gambling.

  "This one is the most decent and suitable on the list." Rudy opened up the map application on his phone and searched for a casino nearby.

  "Hmm~ I knew there was none in this town. But there is one in the next one."

  Angelica hugged Rudy's arm and said, "Are we going to teleport there?"

  "No. I haven't been there, so I can't teleport there. But…" Rudy carried Angelica like a princess and flew into the air.

  "How is this?" he asked with a grin on his face.

  Suddenly, out of nowhere, Angelica said, "I want to try having sex in the air."

  "Uhh… maybe next time…"

  It wasn't as though Rudy didn't want to try it, but not only was it risky, it was embarrassing too. Sure, he would only do it in the area where no one is around, but if someone somehow saw him, it would look like a strange being was humping in the air while flying.

  After flying for a while, Rudy landed near the casino.

  He saw many people were going in and out, but the guards at the entry were checking everyone's ID to confirm their age. However, they weren't asking for the IDs from the people who looked old enough to be over 18.

  "What will you do about the ID?" Angelica asked. "You are not even 18 yet."

  Rudy pondered for a while and said, "Should I mind-control them to let me in? But that's not a good solution since I have to control everyone inside too."

  "And if I do that, what and who am I going to play with?" he scoffed.

  "So… what now?"

  "Only if I could change my appearance to that of an adult man…." Rudy muttered with a sigh.

  He looked at Angelica to see a baffled expression on her face. And that was enough for him to realize what had just happened.

  "My appearance changed, didn't it?" he asked in a monotonous tone.

  Angelica nodded in response without saying anything.

  Rudy glanced around and walked to a parked car to see his new appearance.

  "Whoa! I look so handsome…" Rudy admired his handsomeness, but Angelica didn't like it.

  "I think your real form is more handsome," she said in a haughty tone with a proud look on her face.

  "Oh?" Rudy kissed Angelica on the lips and said, "I will creampie you later as a reward."

  Angelica went inside Rudy's body after saying, "Let's go in."

  After a few seconds, Rudy walked to the casino. He still wasn't sure if his new adult appearance was enough to fool the guards, but he took the risk and kept walking.

  "……"

  Rudy's eyes met with the guards, but Rudy simply nodded, and the guards nodded in return.

  Rudy entered the casino without any problems, and the guards didn't ask to check his ID.

  'Well, that was easy…'
