"Are you sure you want to leave?" Joe asked as he dropped Rudy outside of his apartment. "You can stay the night here if you want to. We have a guest room."
"It's the weekend, so you shouldn't have school tomorrow either, right? Just spend the night here. I will let Rebecca know," Joe insisted.
"No, it's fine. I already said I have a friend waiting in the lounge, so I have to go." Rudy turned around and said, "And don't tell mom I was here."
"Why not?" Joe asked with a confused look on his face.
"IF you tell her, then she will ask what I do when I come here. And I don't want to lie to her, so I will have to tell her that you told me everything despite her warning you. So it's better if we keep our mouths shut, right?" Rudy asked with a shoulder shrug.
"You have got the point." Joe nodded and walked back into his apartment. But he came out a second later to say, "Be careful on your way—"
However, Rudy was nowhere to be seen.
Joe glanced around the hallway, only to see the ceiling light flickering on and off.
"He must be fast."
Joe thought Rudy walked away, while he had simply jumped down.
"How will you get the landlord's address?" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face. "We don't even know his name."
"I have an idea," Rudy responded as he walked back into the apartment building.
"Oh!" The receptionist exclaimed after seeing Rudy, but she furrowed her brows with a confused look on her face and uttered, "I didn't see you leave… when did you—"
"I need the name and address of the current landlord," Rudy asserted with a serious look on his face.
"Hah?!" The receptionist scoffed and said, "I can't just give you important details—"
Rudy looked into the receptionist's eyes and uttered, "Give me the name and address of the landlord."
The receptionist nodded like a robot and wrote down the address from the computer on paper.
"Here," she said in a monotonous tone.
After that, Rudy left the building and jumped high into the sky before flying away.
He looked at the address on the paper and burned it using pyrokinesis.
The abilities like pyrokinesis— the power to freely control and create fire. Hydrokinesis— The power to freely control and create water. Electrification - the power to control electric signals. And Cryokinesis— the ability to freely control and create ice; all of them were one form of the telekinesis which did the same thing, but it evolved into sub-powers and granted him the ability to create them too.
The more power Rudy used, the stronger his mental resistance got. His powers and control over them also evolved with use.
"Did you mind control that woman?" Angelica asked.
"What? No. I just asked her nicely, and she gave me the address…" Rudy muttered.
"I saw you, and you weren't nice at all. You looked like you were going to eat her alive," Angelica remarked. "I think you subconsciously used mind control on her. Otherwise, how are you going to explain her talking like a robot?"
"I didn't want to use mind control on anyone, to be honest. But maybe it was a lite version of mind control? Like a commandant power or something?" Rudy wondered with an amused look on his face.
"You mean hypnosis… right?"
"That's one way to see it maybe… but let's put them in the mind control section. We will practice later." Rudy cracked his neck left and right and uttered, "Right now, we have an important business to attend to."
Rudy flew to the landlord's house and landed in the drive away.
"Wow…"
The house was a mansion but with no security. The lights in the house were off, so Rudy assumed no one was home.
"Are we going to break in?" Angelica asked with an excited look on her face, as though she was ready to do anything.
"Not breaking in, but we are just inviting ourselves."
Rudy searched for the perfect doors and windows to break in, but he couldn't decide on one.
If he wanted to, he could break the walls by simply blowing air from his mouth, but he decided to keep it low as he didn't want to catch attention, which could interrupt his meeting with the landlord.
Rudy gently broke the window of the top floor, and since it was highly unlikely for someone to come and check on the top floor even if there was someone in the house.
Furthermore, Rudy had made sure not to make any noise that could trigger an alarm or something.
After entering the house, Rudy searched through the rooms, but there were far too many rooms to search, so he used his see-through ability to inspect them.
Then, he went to the middle floor and felt strange for some reason.
"What's wrong?" Angelica asked.
"Something… something is wrong…" Rudy carefully glanced around the pitch-black hallway and kept walking.
He reached the hall and felt even more strange.
"I feel like something is watching us…" he muttered in a voice.
After hearing that, Angelica went inside Rudy's body and said, "This house is already scary enough, and now you are scaring me even more."
"Come on. What are you scared of?" Rudy scoffed out loud. "I don't want to break, but nothing can harm me."
As soon as Rudy said that, he was shot by dozens of bullets from all sides.
However, none of the bullets were able to penetrate Rudy's body.
Rudy frowned his face and snapped his finger.
SNAP~!
All the lights in the mansion turned on and lit the house. He used electrification and sent signals to the circuit of the power line.
"I should have done this from the start…" Rudy muttered with a sigh.
Rudy glanced around with his see-through ability to see who or what shot him. He saw dozens of security traps in the hall that could be triggered from even the slightest movement and voice.
"Why is there such advanced technology in this era…?"
