Chapter 29 Awakened Soul

Hugo didn't have the opportunity to leave where he was. He was still below the bed frame, waiting if there will be more information to be revealed.

"So how many families are they supposed to pick?" Julius questioned. There were at least 10,000 names on the folder that was given to him.

Rome shrugged his shoulder. "They wanted all of them," he announced as he patted Julius's shoulders.

"This many? Are they trying to massacre people or something?" he laughedout loud. He threw the folder on the couch and glanced at Rome once again. "You may go now."

Julius looked at his assistant who left the room. He stretched his shoulder and sighed. "This is a very tiring day," he muttered and walked towards his computer.

But his feet immediately stopped walking when he noticed something. His forehead creased as he hurriedly ran towards his table.

"What the fuck happened here?" he questioned.

He immediately pressed the button on the side that turned the whole mansion into a lockdown.

Hugo's breathing hitched when he heard a loud alarm suddenly ringing. The door all of sudden opened. A group of more than 10 people entered inside with their guns out.

'Shit. I can't fight all of them.' he thought when he saw how big all of them are. ' I don't think my power can handle them all…'

So he did the best thing that he could. Hugo stopped the time and quickly went out of bed. He took one gun from one guard and carried it in his hand as he ran outside. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Fuck…" His mouth fell to the ground when he saw that the mansion drastically changed.

A whole block of wall encircled the mansion, making it impossible to exit. Hugo ran to the opposite side, but it was still the same.

'Fuck… why didn't I have the power to teleport or fly?" his jaw clenched.

However, it was not the right time to feel demotivated. He stared at his fist with no choice. 'This is the only way out.

He tried punching the side of the wall repeatedly. But his efforts were put in vain when he saw that nothing happened. The wall was indestructible. His fist only made a dent after multiple tries.

Hugo didn't know that what he was doing was just tiring out his energy. It didn't take long before his body gave up. In just a snap everyone turned back to normal and he had no choice but to look for a place to hide in.

He had to regain his lost strength even for just a couple of minutes.

"FIND THE CULPRIT NOW!" A deafening scream echoed inside Julius's office. His lips parted ways. "How dare someone try to trespass my own property?"

With his shout, everyone inside the room moved. It didn't take long before everyone in the mansion got alerted.

There were almost 100 men searching for Hugo all over the place. It would be impossible for him to hide even longer.

And his guess was right when he saw someone going near in his direction.

"There!" The two men announced loudly as they saw a shadow of a man behind the tree.

Hugo's heart started to beat faster. He gripped the gun tightly and tried to shoot those men who may come near him. But it seems like unluckiness was on his way when, after 5 shots, the gun ran out of bullets.

"Fuck," he cursed out loud as he saw that there were almost 20 people coming in his direction.

He tilted his head and stood proudly. "I need to survive."

Hugo fought with the people using his strength. He punched those men in their faces which immediately sent them flying.

"Take this," he grinned as his fist greeted another man's face. The man immediately fell to the ground.

'Knock out.'

*Bang!

Hugo's eyes turned into horror as he felt a pang of pain in his legs. His knees turned jelly until his wounded leg lose its balance.

"Take him!" Julius ordered. He looked at his gun where the bullet came from.

Hugo attempted to fight back, but he was overpowered. He successfully killed 10 people using his gun and knocked out another 20 using his fist. However, that was all.

There were still more than 50 people in his front.

Punch after punches landed on Hugo's face. He tried to defend himself, but it was too much.

He could feel an aggressive hand pulling his mask away from him. And at the same time, a powerful punch landed on his face making him fall to his knees one more time.

"Hugo?" Julius's brows shot up when he remembered his name. "What are you doing here?" he angrily asked.

Hugo just laughed it off. He could taste the blood in his mouth, but he didn't care about it at all. "You can talk to the air."

Julius's breath turned thin and ragged. He didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on his gun and pointed it out to Hugo, who was now kneeling on the ground.

Blood came out of Hugo's mouth. His body was now all weak from all his injuries. He wanted to stop the time and ran away, but every time he tried it, it wouldn't work.

His body was now too tired to even use one of his powers.

"You can't go anywhere now," Julius shook his head. "I pity your mother. He had to raise a worthless son like you." His tone was full of mockery.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Hugo tried to stand up, however, before he can even do so, he felt a loud impact on his back. He fell to the ground and coughed more blood.

Julius laughed loudly. He tilted his head and grinned. Without thinking twice, he shot his gun at the almost lifeless Hugo on the ground. The corner of his lips stretched as a loud sound sounded.

"Goodbye, Hugo."

But before the bullet could even get closer to Hugo, his body rose into the air. A blinding light suddenly appeared in the sky.

Hugo's eyes suddenly opened widely. It was now pure white, with a hint of gold on the side. Black smoke came out from his body and those who have inhaled it fall to the ground one by one.

"YOU ALL SHALL PERISH!"
