"Do you understand?" Rudy asked as he stared deep into Scott's eyes.
No, he wasn't using his hypnosis ability. He was genuinely trying to scare Scott.
Rudy looked at his hand to see the black ashes all around his palm.
When he crushed the phone, the battery exploded. Of course, nothing happened to him, but it left the black spot on Rudy's palm.
Rudy helped Scott stand up and patted his shoulders. However, he was simply trying to wipe the ashes from his hand.
"Scott, you look like a fine, well-educated, well-mannered, and respectable man. But you and me, we both know that you are a piece of shit."
Rudy smiled at Scott and continued, "You have a bright future waiting for you, and you don't want that future to turn dark, right? So if you walk on the same path again, it will eventually turn dark, and not just dark…"
Rudy glared into Scott's eyes and uttered, "It will be pitch black, well under the grave."
