Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 667 Preparing For The Auction



Rudy teleported to the pool house, where Maria was patiently waiting for him.

"I have come," he said as soon as he appeared in front of them.

Rias was reading a book, Niti was braiding Vriti's hair, Ruby was looking through her bag, and Jane was watching television while using a phone in her hand.

'I don't know what to say to her. She didn't even react when I teleported here. It's like the television and the phone is more important to her than me. Now I understand how the parents feel like when their kids neglect them.'

Angelica came out of Rudy's body and asked, "Wait, we are going somewhere?"

"Yes, to the auction."

"No one told me about it."

"Because you were sleeping. And I didn't ask you because I already know you are coming with me."

Angelica pondered while making various expressions on her face.

"I don't want to go," she said.

"..."

"I will stay here. You can go with the others."

"Why are you being dramatic?" Rudy sighed.

"I am not. Auction sounds boring to me. People sit there and name the price of the things they want to buy. And that's boring. I would rather binge the anime I have been meaning to watch.

Sure, I could do it there too, but I would need to make myself visible, or your phone would seem to be floating in others' eyes. And I can't take your phone inside your body, so the best option for me is to stay and watch here."

"I never expected I would see a day when Angelica would not want to be with me…" Rudy muttered.

"Now you are being dramatic. I would have come with you if you were alone, but it seems that you are taking Alice and Maria too. So you won't miss me that much," she shrugged.

"It's fine… I guess. You can stay here."

Angelica moved her hand forward and said, "Your phone, please."

Rudy pointed his gaze at the television and said,"You can watch it on the big screen."

"I prefer to watch on the phone."

SIGH!

Rudy handed her the phone and said, "I doubt I would receive a call, but if I do, contact Alice or Maria so I can know."

"Hmmm."

Angelica hopped on the empty bed and plugged in the headphones.

"Ahem!" Ruby cleared her throat to get Rudy's attention and said, "You can only take two people with you. I will take Maria with me, so you can take Alice and someone else with you."

"Why would you take Maria when I can?"

"Because she is my sister, and I want to take her with me. And we are going to the same place, so please, don't make a big deal out of it."

"I am not. I am just saying that you don't get to decide for Maria even if she is your sister. And neither do I."

Rudy turned to Maria and asked, "Who do you want to go with?"

Maria glanced back and forth between Rudy and Ruby with a troubled look on her face.

"I will… go with Ruby."

"Huh?" Even Ruby was surprised to hear that. Please visit f𝐫ℯe𝘸𝙚𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝒆l. 𝐜𝚘𝓶

"Did you say Rudy or Ruby?"

"Ruby. I want to go with you, Ruby."

It took a few seconds for Ruby to accept that Maria chose her over Rudy for the auction.

"Yay!" She hugged Maria and smirked at Rudy to show off.

Rudy's eyes twitched, and he said, "Don't flatter yourself."

"Since now I have a vacant spot…" Rudy looked at Rias' and asked, "Do you want to come?"

"I have nothing to do, so I can accompany you, yes."

"Good. Mia, you should take one more person with you too."

"Okay."

Rudy turned to Niti and asked, "Niti, are you interested?"

Niti shook her head and said, "I am not a fan of auctions."

"Okay…" He looked at Vriti and asked, "What about you?"

"I am going to sleep early as there is a show I want to watch in the morning. But thanks for asking," she responded with a smile on her face.

Rudy turned to Jane, only to find her staring at him eagerly, seemingly waiting for Rudy to ask her.

"I am not even going to ask you. Continue watching television."

"But I want to come!"

"I am not taking you with me. I am angry at you."

Jane looked at Ruby and asked, "Ruby, can I come with you?"

"Well… since Rudy doesn't want you there…. sure. You can come."

Of course, Rudy wasn't serious when he said he didn't want to take Jane with him. He was simply teasing her to teach her a lesson for not paying attention to her surroundings.

"Okay. You girls get ready. I will be right back."

"Where are you going?"

"Nowhere."

Rudy teleported to Reina's office, hoping Reina would be awake, and she was.

She was eating snacks while watching videos on her laptop.

"What are you doing?" Rudy asked. "Are you watching porn?"

"If I was watching porn, my hands wouldn't be inside the packet, but down there. I am watching marketing videos and learning new techniques. Once we start building the amusement park, we would have to find ways to market it properly so it could appeal to the people."

"You don't have to worry about that. I will do the best marketing."

"Come on, let me do something, at least. If you take care of everything, I would feel useless."

"No. I simply paved the path for you; you are the one who has to walk on it."

"Are you leaving for the auction?"

"Yes. I am taking Alice, Rias, Maria, Jane, and Mia."

"Who is Mia?"

"Ruby. Our names sound similar, so I call her Mia."

"Wait, Angelica is not coming with you? Didn't you say she was a must?"

"She doesn't want to come. And she did have a point. Auctions are boring. I wouldn't be going there if it wasn't for the house either."

"Good luck with the house. I will be sleeping soon."

"Good night."

Rudy gave a good night kiss to Reina and teleported to the pool house.

"Okay, let's go."

"How are we going there? I haven't been to that location before," Maria stated.

"We have a ride."

Rudy and the girls stood outside the house and waited for their ride. Soon, a helicopter descended from the sky and landed in front of the pool house.
