Chapter 4

"Jujo, when will the apocalypse start?" Nyx asked, his voice filled with a mix of anticipation and dread.

"Host, the end of the world will begin in two days," Jujo replied matter-of-factly.

"What? Two days? Are you joking?" Nyx exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. The reality of the situation was starting to sink in.

"How am I supposed to prepare for the apocalypse in just two days?"

"Don't worry, Host. I've already prepared everything we need in advance," Jujo reassured him.

"As expected of my Jujo, let me give you a kiss," Nyx said, trying to lighten the mood.

"Hehe," Jujo responded, seemingly amused by Nyx's attempt at humor.

"So, what resources did you prepare? Guns, grenades, food, medicines?" Nyx asked, eager to know more about their survival plan.

"Eh? What guns? I only prepared necessities like movies, dramas, and novels. In the end times, it will be hard to find entertainment and life will be very boring. So I took the initiative to prepare all this. Don't worry, Host. I downloaded every interesting movie. We can watch them all the time," Jujo said proudly.

Nyx was taken aback. "How old are you again? Are you really a system or some low-IQ lunatic? You downloaded movies and dramas? Seriously? And you have the nerve to say it very proudly??"

"Hmph, you're scolding me again. Of course, it's important. How else will you pass the time, stupid?" Jujo retorted.

"Then what about food? Should I eat grass and dirt? What if I'm injured when fighting zombies, will you play dramas to heal me? What about guns and weapons? Should I fight barehanded with the zombies??"

"That… I didn't think about it…hehe," Jujo admitted sheepishly.

Nyx sighed in exasperation. "Can I apply for a different system?"

"Forget it. Let's think about what to do next," Nyx decided, realizing that arguing with Jujo was getting them nowhere.

"First, we need to get out of here. We need weapons, food, medicine, and a car," Nyx said, outlining their immediate needs.

"How much money do we have now?" he asked.

"The original owner's bank account balance is 40 dollars," Jujo informed him.

"It looks like we have to make do with it. Let's buy a knife, a hammer, and some instant noodles and biscuits with this money," Nyx decided.

"Then what about medicine and transportation?" Jujo asked.

"Silly, what do you think? Of course, we are going to steal. We can't afford all those with this money," Nyx said matter-of-factly.

"But stealing is wrong, Host," Jujo protested.

"Listen, in the end times, there is no right or wrong. Only strong and weak exist where the strong prey on the weak," Nyx explained.

"When everyone is running for their lives no one will pay attention to so-called justice. You should start watching some apocalypse movies, Jujo."

After they finished talking, they started to pack things that were useful in the room and headed for the door. When Nyx came down again Papa Scam had already left for work and Mama Evil Witch was sitting on the sofa instructing the servants to do work. Both twin devils were nowhere to be seen. Seeing Nyx coming down with his luggage surprised everyone.

"Where are you going?" asked his stepmother.

As if on cue, both his step-siblings came down the stairs. Looking at the luggage in his hand, Lucy sneered and said,

"Has someone finally decided to leave out of embarrassment? Is the sun rising from the west?"

"Leaving home? Him? Don't make me laugh. It's more like he's staging another drama," Lucas said sarcastically.

In the past, Noah couldn't bear their torment and left home. However, rumors started circulating. People said that even though the Conner family had the means to support an illegitimate son, they drove him out of the house because the lady of the house was displeased with him. So Papa Scam took Noah home again and scolded him severely.

Nyx thought,' Since we are not going to see each other again in the future, let's leave them with a lasting impression'

Without saying a word, Nyx walked over to an expensive-looking vase and smashed it on the ground right in front of everyone.

"What the hell are you doing, you bastard? That's my favorite vase. How dare you smash it?" screamed Mama Evil Witch

"What are you all doing standing there like lifeless statues? Get this worthless piece of trash out of my sight now!" she ordered her servants.

Before anyone could touch him, Nyx picked up a knife from the fruit plate and warned," Take one more step and see what will happen."

"What are you doing, you psycho?" Mama Evil Witch shrieked in fear.

"As you said, I'm staging a drama and the title is,' Retribution of the scams, punished by Heaven'" Nyx declared, leaving everyone in shock.

"Do you want to know what a psycho will do?" Nyx asked, his voice laced with a dangerous edge. He suddenly aimed the knife at his stepmother, causing everyone to scream out in fear. Seconds later, the expected pain didn't come. His stepmother slowly opened her eyes, her gaze landing on the knife dangerously close to her face. She gulped in fear.

"N… Noah don't hurt Auntie ok?" she pleaded.

In response, Nyx tossed the knife away. Just then, his stepbrother attacked him from behind.

"Host, behind you!!!" Jujo warned.

With the system's assistance, Nyx deftly evaded the attack. He spun around and delivered a swift kick to Lucas's abdomen. Lucas clutched his stomach and crumpled to the ground, screaming in agony. His face was a mess of tears and snot, making him resemble a wailing pig. Witnessing her son's plight, Bella rushed over to comfort him, her own cries echoing through the room.

"What on earth are you doing? Just wait until the police arrive. This time, there will be no one to save you, you scoundrel," she yelled at Nyx.

"I don't need anyone's protection. Let's wait for the police to arrive and investigate. Then we will see who ends up in jail - me or this despicable family," Nyx retorted confidently.

"Oh, by the way, a friendly reminder - you should call the ambulance. Who knows if your son's family jewel is still safe or not," he added with a smirk.

With a final sneer, Nyx said, "See you all in hell."

He didn't wait for anyone and stormed out of the house. He wondered how long they would survive the apocalypse without Noah's protection.

"Host, aren't you worried that they will call the police and report you?" Jujo asked.

"Why should I care? They wouldn't dare. Their pride won't allow them to do anything that would cause them to lose face among the upper class," Nyx replied confidently.
