Chapter 431 Absolute Vision Impairment

‘What’s going on? I still can’t see anything.’ Rudy wondered. ‘Could it be that my brain can’t process so much information? I should reset the ability for now.’

Rudy blinked a couple of times, but his vision never returned.

“….”

“Rudy! Your eyes are bleeding!”

Rudy immediately used the restoration ability on himself, but it had already been more than one minute since he had become blind, so the repair didn’t fix anything.

“The bleeding stopped, but your eyes have no colors,” Angelica informed in an anxious voice.

‘Calm down, Rudy. Think about it with a clear mind. I was worried about my brain handling too much information, but I forgot about my eyes, which captures that said information.

This was a mistake. I have become blind. But there should be a way to fix this. I have all the powers… right. There is a way. It’s my body, so I can control it however I want.’

Rudy had a super regeneration ability that could heal and regenerate each and every part of the body.

‘Angelica, what’s Maria doing?’ Rudy asked Angelica via telepathy.

“She is busy with her phone.”

‘They gave us a few glasses of red juice earlier. Are they still there? I only drank two.’

“Yes. Two glasses are filled.”

‘Alright. I want you to spill them on me somehow.’

“How?”

‘Wait for my signal.’

Rudy nudged Maria and said, “Can you pass me the glass of juice?”

“Sure.”

“Give me two, so I don’t have to disturb you again.”

Maria got up and grabbed two glasses of red juice.

‘Now, Angelica.’

Just as Maria was about to hand the glasses to Rudy, Angelica made Maria spill the juice on Rudy’s head.

‘Nice!’

“I am so sorry!”

Rudy’s hair, face, and clothes were covered with red juice, so he used that opportunity to gouge out his eyes from his eye sockets and crushed them in his fist before burning them into ashes.

Then, his super regeneration ability began growing new eyes, but the process was taking time, so he boosted the time of his body.

However, that also boosted the growth of his hair and nail, but since he was wearing a hoodie over his head, no one could notice.

All that happened within three seconds while Maria was looking for a towel to wipe Rudy’s hair and face.

“….” He slowly opened his eyes and sighed in relief as he was able to see everything again.

‘I am glad that worked.’

When Rudy looked at Angelica, he found her covered in red juice, but that’s not what he was surprised about. His eyes widened when he saw her crying; Angelica had seen everything.

He wiped her tears and said, “I am fine.”

The staff brought a towel and gave it to Maria so she could wipe Rudy.

“I am so sorry!”

“Hey, it wasn’t your fault. My hand touched your hand, so it’s my fault. Don’t worry about it.”

“The staff brought new clothes for you. Go with them to the changing room. I will wait for you.”

“Thank you.”

After changing his clothes, Rudy looked at his reflection in the mirror and muttered, “That was reckless.”

“Did it hurt when you plucked your eyes out?” Angelica asked hesitantly.

“Well… yeah.”

“But what made your eyes bleed?”

“Let’s say I tried to use a new ability I wasn’t familiar with. And my eyes couldn’t handle it. But it’s strange…”

“What is…?”

“Usually, when my body reaches its limit, it gives me a warning. Like when I use too much of my power, my head starts aching. But my eyes never gave me any sign or warning.”

“Perhaps because it was your first time?”

“No. My body knows what’s happening and acts according to it. It’s like a self-defense mechanism of my body that even I can’t control. Remember the time in the forest when we were about to have sex for the first time?

Apparently, Jane had attacked with a deadly curse, but my body protected me. But that didn’t happen when Jane sucked my blood for the first time. If my body had strengthened at that time, Jane’s fangs would have broken into pieces.

There are other times, too, but you get what I mean.”

“Say…” Angelica hugged Rudy and muttered, “Are you sure your power is protecting you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Just now, when your eyes started bleeding, your right eye had turned into a rainbow color with a lot of stars in it. While your left eye had become pitch black like an abyss.

What if your powers are not protecting you or your body, but it’s protecting itself?” Angelica asked in a low voice.

“That’s… possible…” Rudy mumbled. “If something happens to me, my powers will disappear too. But that will never happen as long as I have this power. And hey, my powers have helped me so much. It changed my life, quite literally.”

“Yeah.”

“For now, I have to think of a plan to expose Kate and Leo.”

“Hmm?”

“Oh, right. I didn’t tell you. They both are cheating.”

“Is that so? But the security is super tight. How did they manage to cheat?”

“That’s the reason I was testing my vision ability.” After a brief pause, Rudy exhaled softly and said, “The cards are marked with an invisible liquid that can only be seen through a colored lens.”

.

“I understand that you can see the liquid on the cards, but how do you know Leo is wearing lenses?” Angelica asked curiously.

“When Maria showed me the underworld ranking, I looked at Leo’s profile. His eyes are mentioned brown, but his eyes are currently blue. So it’s obvious that he is wearing some special lenses,” Rudy shrugged.

Angelica kissed Rudy on the lips and said, “That’s the smart Rudy I love.”

“What do you mean? I am always smart,” he said with a confident face.

“How is Kate cheating?”

“She has a small chip behind her ears covered under her skin. It’s probably one of the futuristic gadgets sold in the underworld.”

“So, what’s your plan now?”

“I don’t care who wins this match. I am going to win the next one with a bang! And I have already hacked into Kate’s chip and marked it. So I can know her location.” He smirked and cracked his fingers as he said, “Once this tournament ends, I am going to track her down to get some information about the supplier.”

Rudy heard the crowd cheering out loud and screaming Leo’s name.

“Guess he won. I can’t wait to destroy him financially, mentally, and socially.”
