Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 51

Chapter 51 - Multiple Bets

“…”

‘Heh! If he had won that one too, I would have blacklisted him and had him kicked out of the casino.’ the dealer smirked inwardly.

He took the chips from the table and uttered, “It seems you ran out of luck.”

“Shut up!” Angelica yelled vigorously at the dealer, but of course, no one could hear Angelica.

Angelica turned to Rudy to comfort him, but Rudy had no change in his expression.

It was as though Rudy was well prepared for this.

‘It didn’t affect me much since I am still on the profit side. But I guess I should make bets on multiple numbers now, so I will have a higher chance of winning,’ Rudy decided.

‘But…’ Rudy looked at the numbers on the table and wondered, ‘Should I bet on two numbers or three?’

‘Two will give me 17x, while three will give me 1x of the original bet.’

Rudy pondered for a while and thought, ‘Or maybe I should go with a corner, that is four numbers? But then I will get 8x of my bet.’

Rudy placed chips worth 1k$ on number 11 as single and chips worth 1k$ on number 26 and 29 as split.

‘Even if I lose, in both of them. I would still have 1630$ left. And… I might cheat if I don’t see any way out. I don’t want to go back without earning 10k$ tonight.’

Rudy could easily ask Angelica to move the ball for him even without using his telekinesis power, but Rudy wanted to play fair and test his luck.

The dealer spun the wheel, and the ball stopped on 26.

‘Yes! I will get 17x of 1k$’ Rudy rejoiced and grinned at Angelica.

The dealer took the chip worth 1k$ that Rudy had betted on number 11. And gave him the chips worth 17K to Rudy.

‘I have nearly 20k$. A lot more than my target,’ Rudy uttered to himself. ‘I shouldn’t test my luck anymore and withdraw the money.’

“I will be—”

Suddenly, the black dress girl stood in front of Rudy and leaned on the roulette table to look at Rudy.

“…” Rudy sighed after seeing her and thought, ‘What’s with her, though? Is she trying to extort me or something?’

‘But she has a lot more money than me, so that’s probably not it.’ Rudy raised his brows and asked, “What?”

“I have been watching your game since the start,” the black dress girl said with an alluring gaze in her eyes.

“Okay…” Rudy uttered awkwardly.

“It was an interesting game,” she said with a smile on her face. “Would you like to play a game with me?”

“I will pass,” Rudy rejected her casually.

“…”

The girl furrowed her brows and said, “Why don’t you play with me?”

‘Because I don’t want to!’ Rudy let out a weary sigh and said, “I am happy with what I won today. So I don’t want to make any more bets and lose them.”

Rudy was talking in a respectable manner since he didn’t know anything about the girl.

‘She is probably from a wealthy and powerful family. It would be best if I don’t get involved with them,’ Rudy uttered inwardly.

The girl closed her distance with Rudy and said, “What if I pay for you too?”

“…?” Rudy raised his brows in confusion and asked, “Why… would you want to do that?”

The girl puffed her cheeks and said, “I just want to play with someone.”

“…”

“So…? Will you play with me?” The girl asked with a curious look on her face.

Rudy pondered for a while and asked, “What if I lose?”

“Nothing,” the girl replied with a shrug.

“And.. what if I win? Who gets to keep the winnings?” Rudy asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

“You can keep them since it’s you who won,” the girl replied nonchalantly. “But I will ask you to pay me the betting amount back to me.”

“Only if I win, right? I don’t have to give you anything if I lose?” Rudy wanted to make everything clear before deciding on the girl’s offer.

“Yes,” the girl nodded in reply.

‘What’s with this girl? She is giving me a golden opportunity. This is too good to be true! This girl has to be planning something, but obviously, I can’t ask her, and she won’t tell me her true intention.’

‘Should I accept her offer? I can just use my powers if things get messy.’ Rudy pondered for a while and thought, ‘I also want to test my luck since it has been abnormally good beyond my expectations.’

Rudy glanced at Angelica to see what she had to say.

“Why don’t you agree to play with her?” Angelica asked. “I know she sounds shady, but if she is truly planning something, then you can cheat and win.”

She shrugged her shoulders and said, “I will be keeping a close eye on her too.”

Rudy nodded at the girl and said, “I would be glad to accept your offer.”

“Nice!” the girl jumped and said, “Finally, I can play with someone of my age.”

The girl rushed to the counter and bought poker chips worth 100,000$. Out of that, she gave 50,000$ to Rudy and said, “Good luck!”

“…”

She placed the chips worth 2k$ on number 12, 2k$ on number 23, 2k$ on number 33, 2k$ on number 35, 2k$ on number 19, and 2k$ on number 5.

“Straight on all!”

‘Too many bets!’ Rudy exclaimed inwardly.

The girl turned to Rudy and said, “Your turn.”

‘Since it’s not my money, and nothing happens if I lose…’ Rudy placed six bets on the numbers 2, 11, 20, 29, 13, and 6.

“Not bad…” the girl said after looking at Rudy’s bets.

‘Well, I just copied your layout,’ Rudy scoffed softly.

The dealer spun the wheel, and after a few seconds, the ball stopped.

However, it didn’t stop on any of the numbers the girl had placed bets on, nor did it stop Rudy’s number.

It stopped at 0, and both Rudy and the girl lost their bet that was worth 24k$ in total.

"Farming wives in the post-apocalypse." Getting a wife is possible. Getting Wives is hard. And after the apocalypse, it's impossible. But what if you have superpowers that allow you to do anything? I mean everything!
___

Rudy was optimistic, handsome, and blessed with knowledge. He topped every exam with minimal effort and got into his first choice university. Growing up in a low-class family, he had to do what it took to be a successful person. So he focused on his studies and aced the university.

When he was in his last year, dozens of famous companies wanted to recruit him. He had a bright future waiting for him. However, he got into an accident on the day of his graduation.

He was left crippled at the age of 23, and all his hard work was in vain. He had to break up with his girlfriend of 5 years, his friends stopped visiting him, and his family was working hard to pay his medical fees.

One night, when he was staring at the ceiling like countless other nights, a mysterious man visited him. He said he was from an organization that was working on the ‘gene experiment.’

The man offered Rudy a chance to live his life again, but if he died in the experiment, he promised to give Rudy’s family a huge amount of money. It was a win-win situation for Rudy as he had nothing else to lose.

However, after months of experiments, nothing happened. As his last wish, Rudy was left alone to die in the middle of nowhere. As he was taking his last breaths, he recalled everything he had done in his life, and he remembered all he did was work hard to have a bright future, which he never got a chance to experience.

“If I knew this would happen to me, I would have lived a better life.”

Left with regret and despair, Rudy died. But when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in his high school. He later learned that he had become an esper with all the psychic abilities.

However, there was a catch. The world was different from what he used to live in. It was a post-apocalyptic world in a parallel universe, where his superpowers were going to help him dominate and crush everyone on this path.
