"Why?"
Hope asked as she curiously opened the duffle bag and Inspected the goods that ranged from all-in-one nutritional packages that had everything a human needed In the form of slurping jelly.
To although In this day and age, obsolete gunpowder-based assault rifles that were definitely more advanced than anything Hopes timeline had.
And of course, It was full of gold bars, there was nothing money couldn't buy so because I was too preoccupied with having fun.
I just found a bunch of random mercs and offered them enough energy crystals.
Seeing the amount of crystals being offered the mercs didn't delay at all, they raided a nearby bank the same day and brought back a bunch of gold bars.
Plus personal things that I deemed necessary for me.
"Because I don't believe In marriage"
I said truthfully because in my opinion love was just a bunch of chemicals released by the brain in the spur of the moment and once they wear off well In most cases It ends In divorce.
"I see..."
Hope muttered as she picked up a 6.8 mm assault rifle and played around with It.
"Today should be a week, so when are we heading back to you're timeline"
I asked while studying Hope who really knew her way around weapons and this for some reason In my eyes was extremely s*xy.
Hearing this Hope paused as she raised her head to check her systems cool down.
"In a few minutes"
She answered.
"But we shouldn't we head out or buy a house, so that you know we don't arouse suspicion"
Hope suggested.
"Don't worry about that I already paid upfront for a month for the room, and I put the hidden cameras and mics on the loop."
I explained as I stood up and went to the bathroom to piss out all the toxins that my kidney had so far filtered out from my body.
As Hope watched Dracula enter the bathroom, for a moment she had the thought of leaving him behind.
But after considering that If she ever came back to this world she would most likely appear In the same spot she left from she changed her mind.
After all she was 110 percent positive that the pissed off Dracula would stay In this room for his entire life.
Just so that he could rip her head off her shoulders for ditching him.
"F*ck why did I have to get stuck with this asshole"
Hope couldn't help but curse under her breath as she placed the sci-fi-looking assault rifle back Into the duffle bag.
"So we're going or not?"
I asked as I exited the bathroom while zipping up my pants.
"Yeah we are"
Hope muttered as she wawed her hand, as she did a rift in space and time appeared in the middle of the room.
"Ladies first"
I said only to receive an eye roll, I saw Hope now effortlessly pick up the duffle bag and jump through the rift.
As she did I made sure to lock the doors and did the same thing Hope did, as I jumped out from the rift and landed on the Hopes apartments floor.
I couldn't help but blink my eyes, because I didn't feel a thing like I expected.
I just saw the rift and the next second I was standing here.
But as I breathed in the practically pure air compared to my timelines, I couldn't help but let out a satisfied groan.
Fresh air was simply that good, as the rift closed Itself I couldn't help but look around the room.
The clock on the wall pointed at 14 o'clock, It seemed like the time in the future was synced with the past.
"Hey wait at a minute where's the crazy one?"
I asked myself as I looked around the room failing to spot her.
Only to see her come out from another room already dressed in pink slippers, denim shorts, and a loose short-sleeved T-shirt which sadly wasn't white.
"A crazy calling another crazy, you do know that you're not right In the head right?"
Hope said while giving me the stink eye.
Crap I forgot that her hearing is now better than It was before.
I thought as I watched Hope start pulling out the golden bars and placing them on a scale.
"And what makes you say that miss torn jeans, I'll let you know so far I have passed the UNOEs armed forces annual psychic evaluation with flying colors"
I said In my usual emotionless voice while crossing my hands as I leaned against the wall while admiring Hope from the back.
Those denim shorts combined with her now perfect curves were really a male fatality.
"Are you for real or are you f*cking with me, because normal people don't gauge out their eyes on a whim"
The dumbfounded Hope asked as she stopped pilling up gold bars and looked at me.
"Fine you got me I'm f*cking with you, ofcourse I know that I'm a psycho, why do you think I joined the armed forces?"
As I answered Hope facepalmed and after that resumed her actions.
"F*ck that's 3 million dollars, I'm f*cking rich!"
Hope exclaimed after seeing the number on the scale which was a fat 21 kg.
I could hear her heart pound furiously as her breathing quickened.
Well, I couldn't blame her, If I was In her shoes I would also be excited.
"F*ck freelancing, f*ck gramps, and his matchmaking I'm f*cking set for life!"
Hope roared as she started jumping Into a place like a lunatic.
"You know you still have to find where you can exchange It"
I poured cold water on Hope's head causing her to calm down Immediately.
"F*ck I completely forgot about It"
Hope said as she ran her hand through her hair.
"Don't worry I'll take care of It, so In the time being you should really eat something"
I said as I ordered my AI to connect to the Internet and find a gold shop that had the money to buy 21 kilograms of gold and at the same time wouldn't ask too many questions.
"Why I'm not h..."
Hope started saying only to clutch her stomach as she fell down to the floor onto her ass.
Although the serums came with the necessary nutrients they still had used up a bunch of Hopes energy, calories, protein, fat, and carbon.
"Here slurp up this for now I'll make some food for you"
I said as I grabbed a nutritional pack from the duffle bag and threw It to her.
Hope Immediately unscrewed the cap and started sucking the contents like a wild beast.
"You can cook?"
Hope asked after throwing away the plastic pack as she felt her hunger slowly dissipate for now.
"Yeah, I've been a bachelor for 80 years"
I said as I opened Hope's fridge and after Inspecting Its contents started taking out pots and pans.
Hearing this Hope was visibly surprised but not too shocked considering that she herself had now a lifespan of 244 years.
It didn't take long before Hope's whole apartment was full of mouth-watering smells.
Hope couldn't take It anymore she sprang up, ran to the full of dishes kitchen table, and started devouring the food like a professional eater.
"Slow down or you'll choke"
I said as I grabbed a military-grade nutritional pack with 10 times the nutrients compared to a civilian one and slurped It up In one go.
"Wy yo nt eating?"
Hope asked with her mouth full of food.
"Because what I made would only count as a snack for me"
I answered as I threw the plastic pack back Into the duffle bag because It was still useful after all the plastic It was made from was much more advanced than this timelines.
