Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 44 - Reason To Kill (ii)

"Mind control? Do you even have such power?" Angelica asked with a curious and confused look on her face.

Rudy looked at the shattered pieces of the glass he had just broken and hovered his hand over it.

Soon, the pieces of glasses flew and joined together as one as though the glass was never broken.

"...!" Angelica was baffled after seeing that. "I didn't know you had the power to restore things."

"I didn't know either…" Rudy muttered. He turned to Angelica and said, "I think I know how my powers work."

"It lets you do whatever you want?" Angelica guessed.

"Not exactly." Rudy shook his head and said, "I can't do things that don't make sense or are logically impossible."

"Like I can make myself rich by thinking I am rich. I have to do some stuff. I can't change day into night. And to be honest, I have no idea how my powers work," Rudy scoffed with a sigh.

"It has barely been a week since I came back in time… or rather, in an alternate universe. I had spent a long part of my life in bed, crippled and helpless, so I wanted to enjoy my second chance a little. But my nightmares never let me have a good sleep. Then I met you, and… well, things happened, and we fucked... we fucked a lot..." Rudy shrugged.

"I didn't have time to think about my powers or how they work. And I am sure there is something I need to do to use these powers. It most likely uses my mental strength since I feel mentally exhausted after using them. So there are chances that my powers would grow with my mental strength, and one day, I might just be able to do the impossible."

"Like a god?" Angelica wondered.

"Maybe?" Rudy shrugged. "But now, I have to use mind control on Paul."

"Are you sure about this?" Angelica asked with an anxious look on her face. "You haven't used this power before. What if something bad happens?"

"Well, it's Paul," Rudy shrugged. "I am going to kill him anyway, so why does it matter even if something wrong happens?" Rudy scoffed out loud. "He can die for all I care."

'He is changing slowly," Angelica uttered inwardly. 'But I don't know much about him. Maybe this is how he actually is? He is kind like an angel with his loved ones and evil like a demon with his enemies.'

Angelica smiled and muttered, "I am the one who is glad to have you on my side."

"Hmm?" Rudy heard that. He looked at Angelica and asked, "Are you really that desperate for my D?"

Angelica puckered her lips and said, "I actually am…."

"Heh!" Rudy patted Angelica and said, "We will do it as a celebration of Paul's death."

"But back to the main question, how are you going to use your power? You have never used it. You don't even know how to trigger it."

Rudy walked out of the bathroom and made his way to the table, only to find Paul was now sitting beside Rebecca.

"...!" Rudy hated that.

'That's my spot! Only I can sit next to her!" Rudy uttered inwardly.

"Oh Rudy, you are back," Paul said with a grin on his face. "You were taking a while, and your lovely mother was getting lonely, so I thought I should give her some company."

Rudy glanced at Rebecca, and he could tell she was feeling uncomfortable around Paul.

'This guy is a total douchebag. Even his face is so punchable. Why didn't I pick this up in my past life?" Rudy asked himself. "Was I really that naive?"

Rudy placed his hand on Paul's shoulder and said, "I doubt you could be the half the man I am. But thanks for your work. You can get up from my spot now and go back to where you belong."

'Which is in the sewer!' Angelica added.

Everyone present there was surprised. Rebecca was the most astonished since she never expected her son to act so rudely with someone he had just met.

It was more jaw-dropping because Rudy was 18 and Paul was nearly 23 years old.

To any normal eye, it looked like Rudy just insulted someone older than him, but only Rudy and Angelica knew the truth.

"Oh?" Paul smirked and said, "It seems that you are a mommy's boy. Well, I don't blame you since you grew up without a father and siblings. But don't worry, I will take good care of your mother now."

"..."

"As a son, of course," Paul added.

Rudy glared into Paul's eyes and kept glaring at him until Paul finally averted his gaze and stood up.

"I am going for a quick leak. Be right back." Paul glared at Rudy and said, "I hope we can share your mother together."

Rebecca looked at Joe and Lucy with an awkward smile on her face.

"Siblings… always fight… it's common, right?" She said. She was simply trying to ease the mood as it was Rudy— her son, who made it awkward in the first place.

"There is no need to feel uncomfortable, Rebecca," Joe reassured. "And I think Rudy did nothing wrong. Paul should know by now that he can't get everything he wants."

After eating the lunch, Joe paid for it and refused to split the bill with Rebecca.

"So, miss Rebecca, are you sure about this marriage?" Joe asked Rebecca.

"We both know that this marriage is just for our kids. Hopefully, our broken family can be complete, and we find happiness," Rebecca replied with a smile on her face.

Joe noticed Rudy had been staring at him for a while, so he turned to Rudy and said, "Don't worry. I have no intention of stealing your mother from you. But Lucy might need her. I hope you don't mind becoming a family with Lucy and me."

"I don't—"

Rudy was about to reply, but he was interrupted by an annoying pest.

"Father, you forgot to include your son in your new family," he said in a loud voice.

"...."

Joe ignored Paul and shook hands with Rudy. Then, he nodded at Rebecca and said, "See you in the court tomorrow for our court marriage."

After that, Joe looked at Paul and said, "We are done here. You can leave."

After saying that, Joe took Lucy and left the restaurant.

Rudy nudged Rebecca and said, "Let's go, mom."

Rudy was planning to get Rebecca home safely before doing anything to Paul. He didn't want Paul near Rebecca, not even for a second.

"Yeah…" Rebecca and Rudy left the restaurant, but Paul kept staring at them from a window.

He licked his lips and said, "Damn, she is hot. Even with a kid, she looks like the perfect definition of a hot girl."

'But her son…. He looked like a pussy, but it seems he has got guts.'

Paul walked out of the restaurant and scoffed as he said, "Well, that doesn't matter. I will just have to show him his place. He should know that kids shouldn't talk back to adults."

"Now then, what should I do? I got horny after imagining how Rebecca would moan when I r*pe her with my big dick."

"Maybe I should just call a hoe for some fun. Or maybe…" Paul licked his lips and continued, "I should taste Rebecca now?"

"No." Paul was pinned down on the ground by an unknown force as a voice rang in his ears.

"The only thing you are going to taste is… my wrath."
