Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Hugo waited in the living room. He was already getting impatient when he saw that it was already almost 15 minutes since Abigail left him.

'What's taking her so long?' He questioned himself as he looked at the clock on his phone.

It was another 10 minutes before Abigail came back with 2 servants on her back. They were carrying a large box made out of wood.

His forehead creased as he saw how big it was. "You plan to carry this to the restaurant?"

Abigail laughed loudly as she shake her head. "Silly you. Why don't you open it and check what's inside?"

Hugo stood up from his seat and did exactly as he was told. His lips parted ways when he saw what was at the center.

"This is…" he couldn't conceal his happiness.

"Yes. It just got delayed, but your birthday gift is here already. Isn't it pretty?" Abigail smiled widely. "That arrived at the perfect time!"

Hugo was astonished. He knelt on the ground as he meticulously held the sword in his hands. His finger trailed at its cold blade. The simple design that was carved on its sides was highlighted as the light reflects on it.

For a mere human, its weight could be heavy, making it uncomfortable for them to pick up. However, it was different for Hugo. It was light and his palms were perfectly aligned on its grip.

Hugo raised the sword. He took a few steps backward before swinging it in the air, creating a strong wind sound.

He touched its top and was mesmerized by how sharp it was. 'Just a swing of this and a body could already be cut in half.'

"Did you like it?" Abigail's eyes twinkled. She walked closer to Hugo.

"Very much," Hugo answered in satisfaction.

"I will make Rommel deliver this to your house tomorrow."

"Alright. Now Let's go before the sun sets down." Hugo declared as he placed the sword back in its holder.

The corner of his lips rose up. 'I should clean my room later.' He reminded himself when he remembered the minimal space that he had in his room.

He plans to place it under his bed where his mother wouldn't see it. Knowing Verda, she would be weirded out once she knew that he had a sword in their house.

That wasn't normal, after all, for a teenage boy like him.

Rommel drove them around to the restaurant that they will be eating. It took them 10 minutes and when they arrived, they immediately entered.

Hugo saw the list of food on the menu. He grinned as he looked at Abigail and said, "Just order what you want and I will pay for it."

"Sir…"

Rome's hands trembled as he reached out for Julius, who looked like he wanted to kill someone.

"What is it?" Julius spat. His jaw clenched when he remembered what happened from earlier.

"The hospital said that the—"

"FUCK THAT HOSPITAL!" His nose flared in anger. He stood up and walked closer to the table where his money was placed. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

'Shit,' his mouth gaped when he saw that he was missing a large sum of money.

'That fucking guy…' Julius tightly shut his eyes.

The family of the fallen guards had teamed up to gang up on him. They were requesting a large sum of money in order to be quiet.

'I'm already spending a lot on them.' his breathing hitched.

He tilted his head to the side. At this rate, he will lose millions trying to aid those useless bodyguards who can't even protect him.

"How much do they want?" He calmly questioned after opening his eyes.

"$500,000" Rome breathed out.

"Give it then."

Rome's eyes widened. "Really, Sir?"

"Yes. But that will be the last time that they will get any money from me." Julius uttered with finality.

He took out his phone and called Noah. It took him just a few rings when he heard a voice from the other side.

"What is it? Didn't I tell you to clean up your mess first before contacting me?" Noah's thunderous voice echoed.

However, Julius just calmly answered him.

"I have a proposal for you. Let's meet tomorrow." He pressed the end button after saying it.

He sat on his swivel chair and stared at the gun on top of his table.

Earlier, he was shocked after the unknown man who deceived them, suddenly disappeared right in front of his eyes. It was a good thing that the police were late by seconds. They didn't have the opportunity to witness what he saw.

The sides of his lips slowly stretched out.

'I'm sure that if I ever capture that man alive, I will get millions… or even billions of money!'

A plan slowly formed in his head. It was his first time seeing someone with those kinds of power. Even their greatest scientist wouldn't be able to explain it. And if ever he will get a hold of that man, the government will surely pay him a lot.

'I just need that man to appear once again,' he thought, knowing that people wouldn't believe him without proof.

He smirked. 'This is finally my time to rule ELO and, if ever, the president of Lunaria. Then I will have the means to colonize other places and rule all over the world.' A loud laugh came out of his lips.

Rome, who was on the side, was terrified at what he saw. His body shivered to hear a monstrous laugh coming from Julius.

'He only laughs like that when he…'

And just like what was about to say, Julius looked at him with evil in his eyes.

"Call everyone. We have something important to do."𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ
