Chapter 142 Calamity

Even though Rudy had scared Scott away and warned him not to get involved with him or Reina anymore, he didn't learn his lesson.

Rudy had used his powers in front of Scott, and as expected for his personality, Scott wanted to catch Rudy using his powers red-handedly, record footage and spread them everywhere.

Scott knew he would never be able to win against Rudy in any way possible, so the only thing he could do was to destroy him socially.

In truth, Mark had also tried to break in last night when Rudy and Reina were having fun, but Reina's moan drew Mark away.

He thought there was a howling dog in the waterpark. The next day— today— he came again in disguise and entered the waterpark for the first time. He searched through the waterpark to see if there was any guard dog, but after inspecting for 10 minutes, he didn't find anything and left.

Soon after, Rudy and Alice had arrived.

After confirming that there was no dog in the waterpark, Mark broke in at night.

However, he still needed a way to enter Reina's office, and the key was given to him by Scott.

'Destroy her, her life, and do whatever you want with her. Break her to the core!' Scott had told him.

After reading Mark's mind, Rudy's fury was over the roof. Still, it wasn't as destructive as it was when he obliterated the tunnel.

The mountains in the area started shaking so hard that the lava floating deep in their crusts erupted volcanoes. Rivers of lava flowed between the mountains, and the heat coming from them was melting the rocks in their way.

The red cover of lava illuminated the dark scene, and naturally, it reflected on Rudy and Mark's eyes too.

"Tell me, what shall I do with you?" Rudy asked in a cold and raspy voice, unsuitable to his look and age.

Mark looked into Rudy's eyes as the volcanos behind exploded and erupted even more magma erupted and molten lava rocks with debris landed near Rudy.

The vicious smile on Rudy's face and the lifeless glare in his red eyes made Rudy look like a… demon.

Rudy used pyrokinesis and poured fire into Mark's body.

"Arrgh!" he screamed in pain.

Mark's body started glowing with fire and began to explode before turning into ashes. However, before Mark could die, Rudy restored his body again.

"Please… kill me…." Mark preferred to die rather than suffer, just like one would.

"Not so soon."

This time, Rudy used hydrokinesis, and instead of fire, Mark's body was filled with water.

Mark's stomach slowly started bulging as Rudy poured more and more water into his mouth. A few seconds later, Mark's lungs were filled with water, and he was having a hard time breathing.

However, Rudy didn't stop until the water came out of Mark's ears, nose, eyes, and two other holes.

Once Rudy felt Mark's heartbeat fading away, he restored Mark and laughed out loud.

"This is fun~"

Then, Rudy swung Mark in the air after saying, "It's getting hot here, right? Go feel the cold freeze in the sky."

Rudy had thrown Zach so high in the sky that he knew Mark wouldn't come down for at least a few seconds.

Rudy glanced around the area and noticed it was more destructive than he had imagined.

"Wow. This is my first time seeing a live volcanic eruption." Rudy stretched his hands in the air and yawned.

Suddenly, debris fell on Rudy's head and covered his hair with fire.

"..."

Rudy stroked his hair and shrugged the debris from his head.

"Hmm. It doesn't feel hot." Rudy stepped into the lava and his shoes immediately melted, but nothing happened to his legs.

"In fact, I don't feel anything."

Rudy collected lava in his hands and smeared his face with it.

"It feels like I just stepped under the sun in summer noon…"

Rudy wanted to try something, so he collected lava in his hands again and opened his mouth. Then, he slowly drank the lava and gulped down to swallow it.

"It tastes like… bread?"

Rudy couldn't describe the taste as it was his, in fact, anyone's first time tasting the hot lava of the volcano.

Rudy wanted to take another sip to figure out the taste better, but he was out of time.

"Aaaaa!"

Mark's faded scream was slowly becoming clear, seemingly, he was about to go 'splat' on the surface soon.

However, before he could touch the ground, Rudy grabbed Mark by his collar with one hand and flew towards the volcano.

Mark realized what Rudy was trying to do.

"No, please. Don't do that," he begged Rudy while crying.

"Huh? Did you say 'kill me' a few minutes ago? I am doing what you asked me to do," Rudy uttered in an innocent voice.

"No, please no! I don't want to die like that! Please forgive me! I won't do anything now! I swear!" Mark bellowed.

"Only if people could change this easily… this world could have been a better place…" Rudy uttered in a solemn voice with a distant look on his face.

"I swear! Please, believe me! If I ever do something bad again, you can kill me right there and there!" Mark begged for his life. "Please, spare me. I won't do anything. I was forced by Scott!"

Rudy furrowed his brows at Mark and said, "I read your memories, and you were the one who went to Scott to tell him about me. And… weren't you the one who asked Scott for a reward to do his work?"

"Ye..s. It was me, but Scott gave me his contact information. And even if I hadn't accepted his offer… he would have sent someone else," Mark managed to stutter. He knew that he was at Rudy's mercy.

"No shit. As if I would have never figured it out myself." Rudy frowned his face at Mark and said, "If you stick your hand in shit, obviously you are going to stink."

"I have told you everything. Please let me go now."

"Sure…"

Rudy let go of Mark, and his body fell into the raging volcano that turned him into ashes as soon he hit the lava.
