Do you even have such power?\" Angelica asked with a curious and confused look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy looked at the shattered pieces of the glass he had just broken and hovered his hand over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the pieces of glasses flew and joined together as one as though the glass was never broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...!\" Angelica was baffled after seeing that. \"I didn't know you had the power to restore things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't know either…\" Rudy muttered. He turned to Angelica and said, \"I think I know how my powers work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It lets you do whatever you want?\" Angelica guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly.\" Rudy shook his head and said, \"I can't do things that don't make sense or are logically impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like a god?\" Angelica wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe?\" Rudy shrugged. \"But now, I have to use mind control on Paul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'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.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica smiled and muttered, \"I am the one who is glad to have you on my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Rudy heard that. He looked at Angelica and asked, \"Are you really that desperate for my D?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica puckered her lips and said, \"I actually am….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh!\" Rudy patted Angelica and said, \"We will do it as a celebration of Paul's death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy walked out of the bathroom and made his way to the table, only to find Paul was now sitting beside Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...!\" Rudy hated that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That's my spot! Only I can sit next to her!\" Rudy uttered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy glanced at Rebecca, and he could tell she was feeling uncomfortable around Paul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'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?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Which is in the sewer!' Angelica added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more jaw-dropping because Rudy was 18 and Paul was nearly 23 years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To any normal eye, it looked like Rudy just insulted someone older than him, but only Rudy and Angelica knew the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a son, of course,\" Paul added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy glared into Paul's eyes and kept glaring at him until Paul finally averted his gaze and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am going for a quick leak. Be right back.\" Paul glared at Rudy and said, \"I hope we can share your mother together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca looked at Joe and Lucy with an awkward smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating the lunch, Joe paid for it and refused to split the bill with Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, miss Rebecca, are you sure about this marriage?\" Joe asked Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy was about to reply, but he was interrupted by an annoying pest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, you forgot to include your son in your new family,\" he said in a loud voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Joe looked at Paul and said, \"We are done here. You can leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Joe took Lucy and left the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy nudged Rebecca and said, \"Let's go, mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah…\" Rebecca and Rudy left the restaurant, but Paul kept staring at them from a window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He licked his lips and said, \"Damn, she is hot. Even with a kid, she looks like the perfect definition of a hot girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But her son…. He looked like a pussy, but it seems he has got guts.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then, what should I do? I got horny after imagining how Rebecca would moan when I r*pe her with my big dick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe I should just call a hoe for some fun. Or maybe…\" Paul licked his lips and continued, \"I should taste Rebecca now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Paul was pinned down on the ground by an unknown force as a voice rang in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only thing you are going to taste is… my wrath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1275,"2026-06-06T12:42:08.770Z",1,"novelbin.me","517a97964d3801070b5f3742d6589e095459439144e788f9825528ed2bf1b666","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-45","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-43",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
