Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 367 Repaying the Debt

Chapter 367 Repaying the Debt

"Can we go on a date?" Reina asked hesitantly.

"Oh."

"You came here with Alice on a date last time. I also want to go on a date," she said.

"Of course." Rudy turned to Alice and said, "I guess you will be here for the rest of the day. Do you have anything you need to do?

"We have homework that your beloved Rize gave us. But I can do that tomorrow too."

"Alright. Then we will be back by evening. Call me if something happens.

"I would, but someone's phone is unreachable," Alice commented.

"Right!"

Rudy took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Reina after saying, "Can you plug this up?"

"Sure."

Reina took out her charger but noticed the cable pin was different.

She showed it to Rudy and said, "I don't think it would work."

"Yeah…" He let out a short sigh and said, "Here. Give it to me. I will use my power to charge it."

"You can do that?" Alice asked with a surprised look on her face.

"I have never tried it, but it should work. Theoretically, if I channel enough electricity into the phone, it should work."

"And practically?"

"We will see that now."

Rudy took a deep breath and released a minute amount of electricity into the phone. While Reina and Alice watched with curious looks on their faces.

The screen lit up, and a charging symbol appeared on it.

"It worked!" Alice exclaimed.

Rudy channeled a few more electricity, but the phone suddenly became hot, and smoke started to come out of it.

"Watch out!" Reina yelled.

Before they could do anything, the phone exploded in Rudy's hand, but obviously, he was unscathed.

COUGH! COUGH!

Reina and Alice repeatedly coughed as the smoke filled the room.

"Are you okay?!" they asked with an anxious and concerned look on their faces.

"Yeah. It felt like I touched something mildly hot," he said while restoring the phone,

"That's because you have powers! Your hands would have blasted into pieces, you know?!" they yelled.

"Oh, come on. You girls are exaggerating." He looked at the phone and said, "Let me try again."

Rudy released enough electricity, but of course, the charging speed of the phone was slow.

"Releasing more electricity won't do anything. But what if I fill it directly into the battery instead?" he wondered.

Rudy tried that, and his phone charged from 1% to 69% within seconds.

"That should be enough for the day."

He turned to Alice and said, "See you soon."

"Hmm. Good luck, I guess?"

Rudy kissed Alice on the lips and said, "Good luck to you too."

He grabbed the briefcases and Reina by her waist and teleported to Scott's family bank.

They teleported into a nearby alley, so they didn't have to worry about being seen.

"They should recognize you at first glance, right?" Rudy asked Reina.

"Yeah."

They made their way to the bank, however, it was closed.

"..."

Rudy walked to the security guard and asked, "Why is the bank closed?"

"They are restoring the hole in the ceiling and upgrading their security system. The bank will stay closed for the next three to four weeks," he responded. "But if you have anything urgent, you can go to their house and get it done."

"Got it."

Rudy turned to Reina and asked, "What should we do?"

"We can come after the bank re-opens. They gave us three months to repay the loan, so I think we have enough time," Reina muttered.

"How about we go to their house?"

"I don't know…"

"Let's go then."

Rudy and Reina went back to the alley and then teleported near Scott's house.

"Wow… their house is bigger than I expected…" Reina muttered while looking at the house with wide eyes.

"Excuse me, we are here to pay the loan. The bank is closed, and we were told to come here."

The guards looked at the briefcases in Rudy's hands and said, "Open it."

Rudy opened the bag and showed them the money with a smile on his face.

"Hmm." The guard nodded at the other guard and pressed the switch outside the gate, which opened one gate.

[All clear,] the guard said on the walkie-talkie.

More guards were on the other side of the gate, but they opened it and welcomed Rudy and Reina.

The chief guard pointed his finger at the guard and said, "This guard will take you to Mister Willow."

They followed the guard inside, and Rudy saw a familiar figure standing in the living room. He raised his brow with an amused expression on his face and smirked before handing the briefcases to Reina.

He rushed to the person and said, "Yo. What's up."

"..."

The person was none other than John, who was as surprised as Rudy upon seeing him.

"You… Rudy Ross. What are you doing here?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Even though I had told you yesterday, 'Let's never meet again.', we met again. Maybe it's fate," Rudy wondered.

"Answer my question."

Rudy pointed his gaze at Reina and said, "This girl is a close friend of Miss Maria, so I was told to accompany her on the errand. What are you doing here?"

"That's confidential information."

"Do you live here? Is this your house?" Rudy asked jokingly.

Rudy knew exactly why John was there.

'It's probably about Scott. His family must have hired them to search for him. Too bad they would never be able to find him,' Rudy smirked inwardly.

A few minutes later, Scott's father arrived with two agents.

"Take care of them," he said to the agents.

The agents took Rudy and Reina to a different room while John stayed with Scott's father.

Reina provided the doc.u.ments required and signed them while the agents confirmed the authenticity of the money.

"Two million dollars is a big amount, and getting them in cash is not something everyone can do. Can I ask how you got this money?" the agent asked.
