Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Hugo's feet froze on the spot. He couldn't move or take a step. His gaze was fixed on the bullet that was getting closer to his body. When he realized it, he tightly closed his eyes, ready to accept his idiotic decision.

His hand found its way to his glass necklace. Just when he was about to take it off, a cold wind suddenly passed through his body.

Hugo lost his balance when he felt his head suddenly spinning. He opened his eyes and was surprised by his surroundings.

He was already in his bedroom.

''Did I just teleported? " He couldn't help but ask himself.

He quickly took off the clothes that he got from Julius and sat on his bed. He opened up his bag and saw that the money that he got from there was still inside it.

"I really did teleport…' he unbelievably uttered.

He laughed out of joy and shake his head. 'This is what I call turning my disadvantages into opportunities!'

Hugo went in front of his mirror. He stared at his body before closing his eyes. 'I should try to see if it still works." He thought as he stood up.

He didn't know how to trigger his teleportation. He needed to be aware if he can control it or if it will just get triggered whenever he was in an emergency.

He carefully thought about the place that he wanted to go to. He could feel the world around him spinning once again and when he opened his eyes, he was already in the bathroom of a mall.

"Woah!"

Hugo exclaimed. He repeated the same process and thought of his bedroom. In just a second, he was back at his original place.

'But this is making me dizzy,' Hugo breathed out as he massaged the temple of his head.

Maybe it was because he wasn't still familiar with his new powers. If he will count it, then this was his 5th power.

'I wonder how many powers will I have in the future?" He paused for a while. 'But I shouldn't think about that today. What matters to me now is that, how can I hide this money in my room?'

Hugo grabbed all the bills inside his bag and carefully placed them on his bed. He didn't forget to lock the door in case his father or sister would want to enter.

"I have $300,000… This is like my parents' 5 years' worth of salary already."

He carried a small box from his cabinet and placed the money inside of it. He took 2, $1000 bills from it and placed them in his wallet.

"Now, I can treat Abigail to a nice restaurant. I could buy some groceries as well and clothes for my sister." The corners of his lips rose up at that thought. "I remember Hailey wanted to buy a new dollhouse."

Hugo couldn't contain the happiness and excitement that he was feeling. 'Thank goodness and I do not need to go to Lilith'shouse today.'

Opening up his phone on the side. Hugo clicked on Abigail's name and called her.

"Hello?"

"Do you want to eat out?" Hugo directly answered as he looked at the clock on his wall.

It was still quite early. It was a surprise for him as well to notice that he didn't take an hour on Julius's Mansion. He must be thankful for his newly discovered power.

Now, everything will be easier and faster for him.

He didn't need to spend money on a cab if ever he will go to Lilith's house or to his school. He wouldn't get tired of walking as well!

'This is cool,' He grinned. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

"Right now?" Abigail's soft voice sounded.

"Yeah. But if you're busy, then we can just go tomorrow."

"No, no, no. I will get ready already!" The panic in Abigail's voice was evident.

Hugo chuckled when the call got ended. He changed his clothes and took his wallet.

"Now, let's go."

"Why are you so quick?" Abigail's brows shot up as she opened their front gate. It was just 15 minutes before their call got ended.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders. "I was already on my way when I called you."

"And what if I said no?"

"Then I will just come back home," Hugo answered.

Abigail laughed. "You fool! And I thought you will be busy with your part-time job?" She couldn't hide the curiosity in her voice.

"Well, yeah. But I forgot that they will go out of the town today." Hugo scratched the back of his head as they went inside.

What he answered was the truth. It was only earlier when Lilith messaged him, telling him that their family had decided to go out of town for three days.

That means he was free to rest and do whatever he wants until the next day.

'I should probably go to the grocery tomorrow after my class.'

"Where are we going then?" Abigail asked him.

His forehead creased. "It's my treat, so you decide."

Abigail puffed her cheeks. "Do you even have money? You know what? No. I will be the one to pay," she questioned, in fear that Hugo was just forcing himself to spend money.

Hugo opened up his wallet and took out the $1000 bill inside of it. "See this?" he proudly waved the money in the air.

"That's a lot!" Abigail blurted out. "But… that money. You can already spend that on yourself."

He placed his pointer finger on his mouth, signaling the woman to be quiet. "Shh. This is my first salary. I wanted to spend this today."

Abigail laughed out loud. "What about the restaurant that we have always eaten at before?" she suggested.

"Alright. Let's go." Hugo stood up from his seat, but he was pulled out by a pair of delicate hands.

"Wait for me. I will just get something from my room."

Author's Note- I know how annoying it is for Hugo to go back to Julius' mansion. I was annoyed while writing it as well, but I needed to do it for the plot to progress.

The second thing is about the black smoke that went out of Hugo's body. As you can see I didn't label it as his 5th power because of one reason. And you will find out what is that in the future.
