Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
Chapter 47: Into The Casino

'I am surprised they didn't ask for your ID, though,' Angelica uttered.

"I was ready to run away in the case, but let's be glad that didn't happen," Rudy sighed. "I don't want to go back home without getting enough money tonight."

'And how much is 'enough' for you?' Angelica asked.

"To be honest, living life as an adult made me realize that there is no satisfaction in enough," Rudy scoffed softly. "But I want to at least get around 10k$ tonight."

'Is that too much?" Angelica wondered. 'I don't understand the concept of money for some reason.'

"Well, I can't come to the casino every night to earn money. So we will probably set a particular night to come here and get rich," Rudy stated.

After pondering for a while, Rudy said, "Maybe every Friday night or Saturday night since that's when I spent the nights at Eric's house."

Rudy walked further into the casino, and his gaze fell on the various types of tables and games.

'What game are you going to play?' Angelica asked curiously.

"Not sure. But I am not playing cards." Rudy walked around the casino to check all the games.

"Come out of my body. I feel a little anxious when I am alone in a new place…"

Angelica came out of Rudy's body and walked along with him. However, her attention was distracted by the games and different types of people present in the casino.

"Don't get lost," Rudy sneered.

"Hey, hey!" Angelica turned to Rudy and said, "I can easily help you cheat in the cards game… wait. " Angelica raised her brows with a judging look on her face and asked, "Is that why you said you are not going to play card games?"

"That's one of the reasons, yeah," Rudy nodded. "But they are also time-consuming. And I don't really want to cheat, to be honest."

"Are you sure you won't cheat?" Angelica asked with a knowing look on her face, as though she was certain Rudy would eventually cheat.

"I am 99.69% sure that I won't, but… maybe I will…" Rudy shrugged his shoulders and continued, "People come in the casino knowing that they would either lose money or get money."

"They come here well prepared, so I don't think even if they lose money or if I cheat, I would be hurting them or destroying them," Rudy stated.

"So… what games are we going to play?" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face.

"Maybe dice games… or…" Rudy's gaze fell on the roulette table where other people were also gathered.

"Do you know how to play it?"

Rudy walked to the table while saying, "I have seen it in the movies."

The roulette table was surrounded by dozens of people, but only seven were playing, which was the maximum limit.

Out of the seven, three were men, and four were women.

There was an elderly man who looked to be in his early seventies. He was wearing a purple suit and gold chains around his body. Next to him was an elderly woman who looked to be in her early sixties. She was wearing matching clothes as the elderly man, which implied that they were a couple, but they were playing against each other.

Two more couples were wearing matching clothes, but they were also playing against each other. They looked to be in their early forties. Couple A was wearing blue clothes, and couple B was wearing red clothes.

And the seventh player was a girl who looked to be 20 years old, and she looked the most intimidating out of all of them. She was wearing a black dress and had the least money out of all seven.

"Come on. Come on! 7! 7!" the man from the middle-aged couple A yelled!

The wheel slowly stopped, but it didn't stop at 7.

"Yes! Yes!" the wife of the man jumped in joy because her bet won.

"Shit!" the man yelled.

"Stop yelling…" the elderly woman said. "It makes you look weak."

"Okay, mother…" the couple said.

"Just like your old man…" the elderly woman added.

"What did you say!" The old man spanked the elderly woman with his stick, but the stick slipped from his hand midway, and he ended up spanking her with his hand.

"See?" the elderly woman scoffed.

"..." Rudy watched them and thought, 'So they are a family…'

Rudy watched their game for a few minutes and learned everything he could.

Within the next 20 minutes, Rudy had gotten familiar with the basics, and he could now play if he wanted to. However, he was waiting for the family to finish their game first.

Couple A, who was wearing blue clothes, were touching each other while playing. They were basically flirting behind the tables.

Couple B, which was wearing red clothes, was acting distant. The man touched the woman's butt, but the woman slapped his hand and glared at him.

"..." Rudy watched them closely and wondered, 'The man in the blue suit looks like the son of the elderly couple. But the man in the red suit doesn't look like one.'

The black dress girl placed all her money on the number 12 and said, "If I win, father will buy me the car I want."

"You are too young to beat me!" the old man yelled.

'So this girl is their daughter. And she looks kind of similar to the woman in the red suit.'

Rudy had identified all the family members, including their relationship with each other, by just watching them for a few minutes.

'The black dress girl, red suit girl, and blue suit man are brother and sisters. The red suit man is the husband-in-law of the family, and the blue suit girl is the daughter-in-law of the family.'

The wheel stopped moving, and the ball ended on the number 12.

"...!"

The black-dress girl clenched her fist and muttered, "Yes!"

"Guess my little sister is getting her first car tonight," the blue suit man laughed out loud. He looked at his father and said, "Father, you are getting old."

"Shut up…"

The match ended, and everyone left the table.

Angelica nudged Rudy and said, "Are we going to play it?"

Rudy glanced at Angelica from the corner of his eyes and uttered, "We are going to win it."
