"Solve the issue?" Reina raised her brow. "How will you solve an issue like that? What are you supposed to do now, go to each and every customer and check if their ticket is authentic or not?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She scoffed slightly with a smile on her face. Seemingly, she found her own remark funny.

"Yes, but most likely, all the tickets are authentic. Although I said refunding them would cause you a loss, it wouldn't as long as we keep one customer per ticket."

"Hmm… true, as long as we are able to keep one customer per ticket, there would be no loss. But who would sort them out?"

"There must be a date and time written on the physical tickets, right?" Rudy asked to confirm.

Reina nodded in return.

"Is that time the time of booking, or the time the ticket was printed?"

"Booking time."

Rudy snapped his fingers and declared, "Then I will be the one who will sort them out."

"That's impossible! Currently, there are 14517 people in the park. I informed my team at the gate to close the gate so no one can enter. But there is no way you can… actually, even if you take 10 seconds per ticket, it will take you over 40 hours!"

"..."

"And! Let's say I give you a team of ten people. That would still take all of you around four to five hours. The Refund process would take longer." Reina groaned in frustration at the thought of the amount of hassle needed to solve the issue.

She let out a big sigh and said, "I will simply refund everyone. That would also take a few hours, but the process would be a lot quicker."

Reina and Rudy left the server room and made their way to her office. Rudy told her repeatedly that he could solve the issue within an hour, but understandably, Reina didn't listen to him. There was no way anyone could do such a tedious task in such a short amount of time.

"I don't understand why you are so worked up to solve the issue?" Reina turned to Rudy while walking ahead of him. "Do you want unlimited access to the reserved pool so badly?!"

"Well…." Rudy took a moment to think. He was confused and curious as well.

'Why do I want to help her? I truly don't understand. It's actually infuriating.'

It was fate, destiny to meet the girls he loved, in every life, every universe. No matter the circumstances, they would meet and fall in love. That was the absolute gift Rudy was bestowed from the universe itself.

They both would feel strangely attracted to each other and feel like they know each other even when they had never even seen each other's face before. They are soulmates, and destiny plays its role to make it work.

While Reina and Rudy were lovers in the last Worldline, in this one, they had just met. Still, the connection they were feeling between each other was the same as ever.

Just like Rudy, Reina felt eager to get close to Rudy, to know more about him and spend time with him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken Rudy to the server room, that was the heart of the entire water park.

At dire times like that, it was natural for Reina to be suspicious of each and every person she interacted with, but she never doubted Rudy. Even when Rudy touched her earlier in the server room, she didn't become hostile towards him.

Although her reaction was natural since she was basically touched by a stranger in an empty room, she still believed what Rudy said and performed the safety checkup.

After clearing his mind, with a composed look on her face, Rudy turned to Reina and said, "Yes. I want it badly. Do you have a problem?"

"Obviously!" Reina groaned, seemingly annoyed at Rudy's question. "I don't have all day. The more time I take to resolve the issue, the higher the risk of anyone getting injured."

"At least let me try. You promised you would let me resolve the issue. I only need an hour."

"Wow, you are so annoying!" Reina rubbed her hands on her face. "Okay, you know what? Go ahead and do it. I will make the announcement for the refund, and in the meantime, you do what you want to do. We will see who gets this resolved faster."

"..." Rudy wasn't entirely up to the idea, but he knew he would be faster than 10 people refunding each and every customer.

After all, when he accessed the server using his powers, he had already gained knowledge about each and every ticket.

The ticket was categorized where some tickets only allowed access to certain pools and rides. Of course, the cost of such tickets was different.

While talking with Reina, Rudy had accessed the cameras and was watching the live footage of the water park.

Then, he used the footage of the time the ticket was scanned upon the entry of the customers, and the live footage to track the customers and their tickets.

He did that with all the 14517 people, out of which two were Alice and Janet. However, he couldn't scan all the customers, since there were certain areas in the water park where the cameras were unavailable.

Rudy sorted out the customers according to the ticket booking time and efficiently maneuvered the crowd to the exit gates.

Rudy had promised that it would take him an hour to solve the issue, but it only took him 47 minutes. However, Reina's team contributed greatly in crowd control and in the refunding process.

Of course, there were angry customers who complained about unpleasant experiences and threatened the team, but they handled them professionally without causing a major ruckus.

Now, there were nearly 1500 people in the entire park and it was a sight to see.

Rudy was thrilled to have solved the issue. He was so happy to help Reina that he even forgot about the reward. He simply wanted to see Reina happy.

While Rudy was on his way to Reina's office to talk to her, he ran into a cat that seemed strangely familiar to Rudy.

It was a beautiful white Persian cat. She had different eye colors, with her right eye being blue and left being red.

"..." Rudy was left baffled by the similarities of the cat.

Suddenly, a girl with creamy ivory hair came and picked up the cat in her arms. Then, her gaze fell on Rudy and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Ru…dy?"

"...!"
