My Reborn Apocalypse Begins with a Divorce novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

“Girls, go take a shower first!” Ray waved a hand.

Katie and Jess hadn’t bathed in days. With coats on, it was still tolerable–but once those came off, even the most naturally fragrant beauty would carry a certain… lived–in scent.

Both girls blushed and exclaimed in unison, “We… can shower?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

Ray directed them to separate bathrooms. Each floor had its own, all fed by a pressurized water system, so there was no worry about the water pressure dropping if multiple showers ran at once.

When Ray returned, Molly bit her lip and looked at him. “You’re like that guy Brandon? You have abilities too?”

“Yes,” Ray admitted, no longer hiding it.

There was no point keeping secrets now–though he revealed only enough to inspire loyalty, not the full scope of his power. How many space–type abilities he’d developed, what exactly his otherworldly storage space could do–he kept that to himself.

Instead, he simply demonstrated his resources. With a wave of his hand over the table, a boxed lunch appeared. Another wave- milk. Another–fresh fruit. Even if she had suspicions, Molly could only stare, completely stunned.

Ray leaned close to her ear and murmured, “I have enough supplies here for everyone to eat for generations. And there’s power -heating and electricity won’t stop.

“Think again–do you still want to take your sister and leave? After leaving here, where would you go? How would you find food? Or clean water?

“Could you even stay warm? Take a shower? Would you two be living like primitive savages?”

Molly shivered slightly, her long lashes trembling as she turned toward him. “So… when I asked you to help find my sister, you had already made up your mind?”

“Impossible!” Ray laughed. “It’s been over twenty days into the apocalypse. The odds your sister was dead were high. How could I make plans based on a dead person?”

Weakly, Molly leaned into his arms, realizing Ray already saw her as part of his world. Could she resist? Reality was harsh.

Even if she was capable, she could take down a grown man one–on–one–but who fought one–on–one in this world? Attacks from Building 4 came in numbers. The same went for the rest of the district.

And what if there were other ability users? Law and order were gone; the strong took what they wanted. Anyone who desired her would simply take her.

Only Ray had bothered to negotiate. Others wouldn’t

If she had to depend on someone, was there a better choice? He offered the best survival conditions and, at least on the surface, gave her the illusion of choice he didn’t force obedience, he invited it.

“You win,” she said, closing her eyes.

Cassandra watched quietly, unsurprised. Who could refuse Hay? No one- unless they were ability users themselves, capable of surviving alone. But people like that were rare indeed

Ray smiled and handed her a stack of clothes “Give these to your sister she lost her old ones.

“…Okay.” Molly carried the clothes toward the first floor bathroom

Ray kissed Cassandra’s cheek, then headed upstairs.

Water splashed and streamed. Ray undressed and opened the shower door.

“Ah! You scared me!” Jess quickly covered herself with a towel.

Ray smiled faintly. “Save the act for the other women. A little rivalry among yourselves is fine, but with me, it’s unnecessary. I don’t care for the innocent act.”

Jess immediately relaxed into an alluring smile–no trace of shyness left.

“Why did you choose to come with me?” Ray asked. “And be honest! I don’t like playing games.”

Jess said, “First, you drove here. Most cars would’ve crashed under these conditions, but you made it safely. That alone means you have access to serious resources.”

Ray nodded. True enough.
