Because it's going to take a whole lotta struggle to convince Maria and—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am doing this to gain a favor from you,\" Lu Bela stated before Rudy could finish his sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My favor? Don't tell me you still want me to kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do. But I won't force you to do it, nor will I pull any stunts like before. For now, I just want your forgiveness for what I did on the night of the VVIP Underworld gambling tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already forgave you for that after you did me a couple of favors. I no longer have a reason to hate you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does that mean you will kill me now if I ask you to?\" she asked with a resolute expression on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There is no way I would slay the golden goose. But if I tell her that I don't plan to kill her, like ever… she might stop doing my work for me,' Rudy uttered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will, once you have fulfilled all my requests. You still haven't given me any information about the two robbers from the van. A man lost his family because of them, and a hundred others would have lost their family too if I wasn't there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that's not the reason you want to find them, right?\" Lu Bela asked with a knowing look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, yeah. It's something personal. I want to confirm my suspicion on a certain someone. If he happens to be involved… I am not sure how I will handle that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can leave that person to us, in that case. Remember, you can come to me with any issue, and I will give my all to solve it for you. I will do anything as long as you promise to kill me,\" she stated with her utmost sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's discuss more while eating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm…\" Rudy glanced at Lilim and Maria, who were busy talking about their matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there something after the grand feast?\" Rudy asked Lu Bela.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Everyone present here will get to see a sunrise. Believe me, watching the sunrise from the middle of the sea is a phenomenal and unforgettable experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will second that, even if I am sleeping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So let's go to the dining hall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the time now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten minutes left before the sunrise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy turned to Maria and said, \"Can I have your phone? My phone is with Angelica, and I have to make sure Rias and Jane reach the poolhouse safely. Can't risk anything in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria handed her phone to Rudy and said, \"Lilim and I will go to the dining hall. Join us when you are free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>​ \"Gotcha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Maria left the hall with Lilim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talk to you later, daddy~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy dialed Rias' number on his phone and prepared to call Rias.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you can't call anyone outside the island. All the networks of every frequency are blocked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bela turned on her upad while saying, \"Wait, let me give you access to—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. I already hacked into your security and gave myself access.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy called Rias and waited for her to pick up the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Rias answered the call, she asked, [Is it Rudy?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't bring your phone with you at the auction, so is it safe to assume you reached the pool house safely?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes. Jane and I got here a few minutes ago.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is she?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sleeping. I was about to sleep too.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. I will meet you in the evening then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hmm.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! Yeah. What's Angelica doing? She is probably sleeping, but it's Angelica, so she might still be watching something on my phone,\" Rudy chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[She is not here.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" After a brief silence, Rudy asked, \"Did you check properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I did.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at the ceiling if she is there. She does that sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Already checked. She is not here.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...okay. Talk to you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy hung up the call and dialed his number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Where could she have gone? It's not like her to wander off alone, especially at night. Could it be that she missed me and went looking for me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few rings later, Angelica picked up the call with a: [Wassup?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't 'Wassup' me! Where are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I am with your mom.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...what the hell are you doing there? Don't tell me you went to scare her for what she said when she caught us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No. I am not a kid who would get angry about a sex ban. I am helping her with the store.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't trust you. You better not have done anything to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sheesh~! I haven't. I know she is your favorite but don't worry. She is totally fine. You can confirm it once you return from the auction. Oh! More customers are coming. I am hanging up!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BEEP~ BEEP~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well… I don't think she would do anything to mom. But I am worried that she might end up telling some embarrassing things to mom.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am an adult, and adults shouldn't be embarrassed about anything other than their dick's size— or so I read somewhere. Luckily, I have a magical weapon to satisfy every girl.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy reassured himself with the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything else you would like to do before we head to the dining hall?\" Lu Bela asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, can we skip the grand feast and the sunrise? I need to check the castle and return home. I can't be late for school today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's what you want, I can arrange it. But the castle is far away, and it would take us a few hours to reach there, even in a copter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about that. I got a perfect solution for that. We can fly there at speed faster than the lightning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1032,"2026-06-06T12:42:23.452Z",1,"novelbin.me","0897e27e7cf18a2d0249b316f73d368f13c072ae5fbd15a8701b6d0c12a23d83","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-704","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-702",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
