I just got here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby raised her brow at Rudy and said, \"Seriously, have you put a tracker on me or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, but I have marked you, so I know your location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marked… me…? Like… What did you do to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember you kissed me when we first met? I kind of marked you at that time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby's face flushed when Rudy mentioned the kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget about that kiss! It was the biggest mistake of my life that I regret every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Rudy grinned and said, \"Well, I, for one, liked that kiss, actually. Your lips are… very kissable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy licked his lips seductively while saying that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby gulped down and backed a few steps from Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would you say that?\" She asked with a confused and curious look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am simply stating the fact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no. The look in your eyes seems like you are going to jump on me and ravage my body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know I won't do that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to think the same until you walked in on me changing clothes in the hotel room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on~ Don't act like you were totally naked. You were in your black undies. And hey, you have seen me naked too. I never made a big deal out of it, did I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't walk in on you changing clothes. You were already naked. Not to mention, I didn't even know you were in Maria's room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, we are even now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… guess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby glared at Rudy with a judging look on her face and said, \"But you walked into the room on purpose! You knew I still wasn't done changing my clothes, yet you barged in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you know that, then you should also know that I can see anyone naked, even if they are wearing clothes. If I wanted to see your naked figure that badly, I would just stare at you and watch you naked all day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was a hypothetical statement. I am saying I could do it if I wanted… not that I ever did it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's obviously a lie.\" Ruby retorted. \"No one in their sane mind wouldn't use that power to look at the girls naked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's called 'abuse', not use. And I have no interest in looking at naked figures of girls I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby raised her brow and commented, \"So that means you look at naked figures of the girls, you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, that was a trick question?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am sure you wouldn't fall for such an obvious trick question. So…?\" She folded her arms and asked, \"Why would you tell me something that could be used against you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wanted to prove that I am not a woman predator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your harem speaks for you. Anyway, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Maria?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I asked you the same question a while ago, and I still haven't gotten my answer. What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already answered that and said I just got here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not a lie, but you came here after the party hours ended. That's not a coincidence, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He furrowed his brows and continued, \"I don't need your help with my relationships with them. You stay on the deal we made. Don't try to change it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you would be happy, what the fuck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about you? Are you happy right now?\" he asked with a judging look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I am. Do I look sad to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, let's see. Watching the sunrise alone from the underwater hall made of glass… hmm~ Does that sound like a memorable experience to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy asked in an annoyed tone, seemingly frustrated by Ruby's attempt to hide her sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby turned around and mumbled, \"What does it have to do with you? You should focus on yourself and not get into someone's business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's what I am trying to tell you, you stupid bitch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I am a bitch, then you are an asshole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would never deny not being an asshole,\" Rudy shrugged with a proud look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Ruby stared at Rudy for a few seconds and let out a laugh. \"Pfft! What's with you? I can never understand you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy hacked into the music system and played Ruby's favorite song. Even the glimmering lights' color was changed into Ruby's favorite shades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy moved closer to Ruby and held her hand. He placed his hand on her waist and started dancing with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What… are you… doing?' Ruby asked with a confused face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are dancing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you missed the party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And why am I dancing with 'you'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I don't see anyone else around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby looked into Rudy's eyes and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I seriously can't understand what's going through that head of yours. Sometimes, you are like a charming prince, while the rest of them, you are…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby stopped without finishing her sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever you were trying to say… I think I would rather prefer that one instead of being a charming prince. That's not my thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may not think of yourself as one, but I am sure the girl sees you as a dashing, handsome…. charming… powerful… mischievous…. prince.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ughh~ Stop. I am not used to someone praising me that much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are not my words, by the way. For me, you are…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am…?\" Rudy asked with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For me, you are just my brother-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1019,"2026-06-06T12:42:23.452Z",1,"novelbin.me","e6b4636666ed3e8f4636565705c87ee772440497cc6f056f8ba703fe8884f0d1","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-713","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-711",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
