Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

'That person is… where have I seen him before? In the news… in my past life… on the boards… oh, right. He is a high-ranking politician. His name was… Bob… Bobby… Tony? Bob Tony…. Tress… Bobby Tony Tress.

That doesn't sound right for a name, but who cares. More importantly, why is he here? To arrest Fred by himself? No… I highly doubt that.'

Bobby was a fat, bald politician who was in his late forties.

Rudy shook his head and thought, 'Mom said that Fred Mores was being backed up by the government. I don't think the entire government was involved, as it keeps changing after the elections, so it has to be someone with a permanent or well-known post.

I didn't find any details about him in the database that I hacked, so this guy must be trying to stay clean and away from such things. But what are the chances that this politician is involved with Fred Mores?'

"I would say the odds…" he muttered.

Even more armed cars arrived and surrounded the agency from all sides. Hundreds of armed men had barricaded the agency, but Rudy didn't know who were the good guys and who were the bad ones.

Regardless, he was more curious about what Bobby was there.

Soon, the people in the agency began to leave in a hurry, almost as if they were kicked out. All the clients and employees, but not the staff.

"Hey, you!" The guards pointed their guns at Rudy and said, "Are you blind or what?! This building is being evacuated, so get out of here!"

'Well, I can't be seen here. I already tampered with the footage that had captured my face, so it's not a problem. I don't have any business here, so I guess I should leave.'

Rudy casually left the building as if he owned it. He took advantage of the crowd and teleported to the top of the building.

"Now, time to have some more fun."

Rudy shrunk himself to the size of an ant and flew down to Fred's office floor. Since his size was small, he could easily enter anything, and even if he couldn't, he could simply break through it.

He entered Fred's office, which had tight security of guards and AI. Rudy sat on top of the shelf from where he had a clear view of the scene. Then, he conjured ice cream in his hand and made himself comfortable.

Fred was sitting on his chair with his hands on the desk and his head in his hands. He was wearing a luxurious watch and clothes. Even though he was in his late thirties, he was fit and handsome.

A minute later, Bobby dashed into Fred's office and grabbed him by his collar.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Bobby asked furiously.

"Calm down. Even I have no idea." Fred shrugged off Bobby's hands and fixed his collars.

"What do you mean you had no idea?!"

Fred pointed his finger at the chair and asked Bobby to sit down.

"There has been a leak," he said.

"Why the fuck did you have all that stored online?!" Bobby yelled.<novelnext> </novelnext>

"Because that's the best way to access it from anywhere. I like to watch those videos when I feel lonely or sad. Do you expect me to carry a hard drive with me that could easily be cracked, stolen, or corrupted?"

"Why would you even store all that? Who keeps logs of their crimes? Are you out of your goddamn mind?!"

"That's my hobby," Fred shrugged. "Don't you keep all the awards and trophies you get? It's similar to that. Not to mention, if you had kept logs of all your time, I would have had to buy a storage expansion to store everything."

"Why are you so calm?! It's a matter of time before the highest-ranking troops arrive here and take you with them!"

"Oh, why are you so worried about me?" Fred asked curiously with a knowing look on his face.

"Because you are my friend!"

"Cut the crap, Bobby. You are afraid that if I get arrested and later interrogated, I will reveal all the secrets of our secret organization. But don't worry, I won't do that."

Bobby gulped down nervously and asked, "Really?"

"Yes. I am not an idiot to make enemies with the Boss. I am but a mere pawn, just like you are."

"B-But even the Boss can't help you now! You are doomed! All your crimes have been exposed. I would be surprised if you don't get killed in the encounter."

"I don't expect the Boss to save me… I can save myself…"

"Huh?"

"Did you forget I am a Lawyer? I know my rights. Even with all the evidence, I will walk out of the court alive and innocent with no charge against me. This is not the first time I would be arrested," he scoffed.

"But how would you prove yourself innocent… there is too much to cover up…"

"Don't you worry about that. You wouldn't believe me if I said I was prepared for a time like this. More importantly, we must find the piece of shit who is behind all this. He must have been a professional hacker to have pulled this off.

I hope you can inform Boss about this and ask him to find that son of a bitch. We have to set an example of what happens to the people who challenge me, the Boss, and our secret organization!"

"Yeah, I will do that. I received a message from the Boss as soon as your data leaked everywhere. And that's why I came here to meet you," Bobby informed.

"What's the message?" Fred asked curiously.

<novelnext></novelnext>

"You done fucked up. Either kill yourself or prove yourself innocent. You know what will happen if you fail at either of those." Bobby quoted the message.

"It's just three sentences… yet… so terrifying."

"Don't forget that the Boss is even more terrifying. He can do what he tells, and there is nothing he can't do."
