Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Accusations
Krissy looked at Rayne with jealous fire in her eyes.

“You vixen! How dare you spend my man’s money!”, she yelled, causing everyone in the small store to look over.

Krissy stared at the multiple bags Rayne was about to purchase and fumed! There was no way she would be able to afford those on her own, she thought. The only explanation was that she was using her dirty tricks on Dillon to get that money!

“You bitch! I told you to stay away from Dillon! He’s my man!”, she screamed, pointing her finger at Rayne like a shrew.

Rayne was momentarily stunned from both the loud unpleasant noise and the wild accusation Krissy was making.

She turned to face Krissy with a dumfounded look on her face.

“Are you talking to me?”, she asked just to verify that Krissy was indeed accusing her.

“Who the hell else? You’re the one using my man’s money to buy yourself those bags! There’s no way you would be able to afford it otherwise!”, accused Krissy.

Rayne wanted to laugh at Krissy’s lack of brain cells.

“What does me buying these bags have anything to do with your man?”, asked Rayne, folding her arms over her chest.

“You dumb bitch! Like I said, you’re spending Dillon’s money to buy them! And Dillon is MY man!”, she said, almost hysterically.

Rayne’s patience was running low, “Listen carefully since you clearly didn’t hear what I said last time. I don’t want anything to do with Dillon, he’s all yours. This money that I’m spending, is MY money, that I earned. Now go away before you embarrass yourself further.”

Rayne went to turn around to quickly finish her purchase so that she could leave this psycho woman. However just as she turned, Krissy finally realized that Rayne was the woman she saw earlier in the baby section of the department store!

Krissy’s mind blew up with assumptions and she became even more furious!

“Not only are you hooking up with him behind my back, you also got yourself pregnant to try and take my place!”, she yelled!

Rayne was even more confused now! Since when was she pregnant?!

“What do you mean I’m pregnant? You’re just as delusional as Dillon is!”, she said.

“Don’t bother hiding it from me! I know it’s true! Let me tell you this, Dillon is my man and nothing will change that, even if you’re pregnant with his bastard!”, she yelled threateningly.

Rayne truly couldn’t understand the words Krissy was spewing, but she was angry nonetheless.

“I don’t know where you’re getting your crazy ideas from, but if you’re so hung up on your man, you should keep a tighter leash on him so that he doesn’t come find me at my house anymore!”, replied Rayne.

She was tired of being accused of nothing, and still had lingering anger from the day Dillon broke into her house.

Krissy quieted down immediately upon hearing that Dillon had gone to find Rayne at her house. Her biggest fear right now was losing Dillon’s money.

If Dillon truly was going out of his way to find this vixen, then she needed to step up her plan. Her mind raced, trying to come up with better ways of holding on to her golden goose (Dillon).

Krissy looked up at Rayne and pretended to be unfazed by her words, but failed. She pointed her shaking finger at Rayne. “Lies! You’re full of lies! I’m warning you. Stay away from my man, or I’ll come deal with you myself!”

She then stomped her foot angrily and ran away.

Rayne stood there speechless, and thankful that the lunatic had finally left. She was screaming so loudly in her fake, high-pitched voice that Rayne was beginning to get a headache.

She turned to the saleswoman to finalize the purchase of her purses and left the store. Unfortunately, Krissy managed to ruin her first luxury item purchase, but Rayne still felt happy to finally own a designer product.

Rayne calmly walked around the mall, going from store to store. She even went inside a store that specialized in candles, storing a large variety in her system.

She continued to walk around until she came across a very unique store that had just recently opened. It was called “Minus Zero” and specialized in clothing for extreme temperatures.

Rayne’s eyes lit up, thinking that this would be very useful in the future. She walked in without hesitation!

“Hello, welcome to Minus Zero. Let me know if you have any questions!” a young man greeted.

Rayne returned the greeting and asked the man about the specifics of the clothing. She learned that this brand was one of REN Corp.’s subsidiary companies that focused on material research.

All of the clothing was made from special technology nanofibers that could regulate body heat hundreds of times more effectively than standard clothing. There were different variants of this material, some specializing in heat insulation and others in heat dispersion.

The salesman also mentioned that most of their clients were researchers, scuba divers, and hikers—people who frequented places with extreme temperatures.

As Rayne listened, the more excited she became. Who knew what kind of natural disaster would come? Having such protective clothing would be a very good thing to have!

Rayne quickly turned around, pretending to look through the shelves, and stored everything they had available.

She then picked out two different shirts, one for cold resistance and one for heat resistance, and went over to the sales counter to purchase the shirts. The salesman seemed very happy to finally have a customer, as many people felt there was no reason to buy such an expensive piece of clothing without any immediate need.

Rayne then raided a few more stores on the way to the food court. She decided to buy a little bit of everything to increase the amount of prepared food she had in her system, so she walked around ordering everything from a slice of pizza to beef noodles.

She got a few odd looks as people watched her go from counter to counter ordering a large amount of food, but she ignored it.

She quickly left the food court to find a secluded spot to store the food. She walked down the hallway toward one of the less popular entrances and bent down to store her food discreetly.

Unfortunately, it would be too suspicious if she left the food in her system, so she took the large bag of food and lugged it over to her car.

As soon as Rayne closed her car door, she put everything in her system (or the system trash bin). She then drove home while sipping on a recently purchased iced green tea. The drive home was peaceful, and she felt like her time at the mall had been very successful today. She was excited to go home and swap to one of her new designer purses.

When she got home, she heard her phone ding, indicating that she had received a text message. Rayne opened her phone and saw that it was a notification from the furniture delivery company, saying that her furniture was scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Excited by this news, Rayne put away all of her temporary ‘old’ furniture, leaving only the small couch in the living room and her bed in the bedroom.
