Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Chapter 107 Causing A Fight

Hugo looked around at his surroundings. He was in Crimsom ville, in front of Julius's mansion.

When the guard on the side saw him, he immediately went closer to Hugo.

"Hey! It's been so long since I last saw you!" The guard exclaimed as he looked at Hugo.

"..."

Hugo does not know the name of the person who approached him. He just smiled, pretending that he know him.

"Hi!" He enthusiastically greeted.

"Damn bro, I saw what happened to you. Good job for saving your sister." The guard commended.

Hugo laughed. "What's your name again? You know after what happened, I forgot a lot of things."

"Oh, my name is Angelo," He answered.

Hugo nodeed. "How old are you now? You looked so young to work here."

"Oh yeah," Angelo scratched the back of his head. "I'm only 18 actually… I just started working here a few months ago after my mom died." A mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

"You know, trying to earn some money so I can feed my 2 siblings."

"Ohh," Hugo smiled at him. "You must be working hard."

Angelo nodded as if he was a child. "It's my dream to send them off to school!"

Hugo felt in awe as he looked at Angelo's twinkling eyes as he mentioned his sister.

'He must have really loved them,' he thought.

"Where is your father then?"

Angelo's mood turned sour after hearing it. Noticing it, Hugo quickly apologized for what he said.

"You don't need to answer if you don't want to."

"Oh no, it's alright." Angelo chuckled. "He's already dead."

"Oh, sorry to hear that."

"It's nothing. You don't need to be sorrym" Angello patted his shoulders.

"You should go inside now. Mr. Julius must be looking for you already." Angelo waved his hands as he opened the door on the side.

"Thanks," Hugo entered. He took a deep sighed.

He directly went towards Julius's office.

"Why are you here?" Rome's forehead creased. He looked at Hugo from head to toe.

"What are you doing here?" He scoffed.

Rome stopped what he was doing. Walking confidently closer to Hugo, he glared at him intently.

"Go leave now. You're not welcome here."

"Are you still salty that Julius favored me more than you?" He grinned.

When he saw how Rome's expression turned sour, his grin became wider.

He hit the jackpot with just his mere words.

"So you're really salty about it, huh?" He chuckled.

"What are you saying?" Rome grabbed his collar. "If you open your mouth one more time, I'll kill you." He gritted his teeth as he angrily spatted those words.

However, Hugo just took those words lightly.

"Are you sure that if you kill me, Julius will forgive you?" Hugo questioned. He looked at Rome straight into his eyes. "You'll just die like me..."

"Much worse since Julius wouldn't even care about you or your feelings."

"SHUT UP!"

Rome shouted furiously. He pushed Hugo down to the floor. The same time that Hugo dropped on the floor, the door opened.

"What are you doing, Rome!" Julius hurriedly went to help Hugo stand up.

Hugo, knowing what would happen, pretended as if he was deeply hurt.

"Ackkk!" He whined in pain. He held onto his stomach.

"S-Sir Julius,"

"You piece of shit! Stop pretending and stand up!" Rome was about to attack Hugo once again when Julius stood firmly in the middle.

"Stop."

"Sir… " Rome looked at Julius as if he was betrayed by him.

Julius tilted his head to the side. "You have given me enough embarrassment for today."

Rome shook his head. He unbelievably stared at Julius. "I have been your secretary for years already! What's with that lowly man that you keep defending him?"

Staring blankly at him, Julius took a deep breath.

"Leave."

Rome refused to comply with Julius's words. He didn't even move an inch.

"I can do all the things that he can do! Just ask me what it is and I will gladly do it!"

He was already desperate enough to have the acknowledgement of Julius.

Julius looked at him, straightly right into his eyes. "You say anything?" He asked as if his words had another meaning in them.

Swallowing dryly, Julius took a step back. He bowed down his head and slowly nodded.

"I understand, Sir." He answered defeatedly. He knew for sure that what Julius was hinting on in his words was about the secret experiment that they have been conducting for the past few months.

He left them with a heavy heart. But he wouldn't be called an embarrassment for nothing. He didn't entirely close the door so he could hear what they would talk about inside.

And it seems like they didn't notice it.

"Sir Julius," Hugo greeted him.

"How have you been? I haven't got the chance to visit you after you got dismissed from the hospital." He stated.

"Your mother still hasn't responded to a few of my texts as well. I wonder what happened to her?" Julius curiously asked. He was looking at Hugo warily. He was getting careful with his words.

"Oh, my mother found a new work now, Sir." Hugo answered. He smiled sweetly. "And it seems like she was really busy that's why."

"Oh," Julius reacted. An awkward laugh escaped from his mouth. "That was quite a shock to me."

'Well, I bet it was,' if only Hugo is not being careful with his words then be would answer that.

"Yeah. I tried talking with her about that matter as well but she wouldn't just bulged." Hugo sighed when the truth was he was the one who encouraged his mother to look for a different job.

He used the disease that was spreading in their office as an excuse. Gladly, Verda after a few times of persuading, gave in.

"Do you have any idea where your mother works?" Julius added in.

Hugo shook his head. "By the way Sir, I came here for a different thing." Hugo tried to change the topic. He glanced over to the side and saw that the door wasn't entirely closed.

'Rome must be listening to our talk.' He concluded. 'Of course, I am such a good guy, so I will help him a little bit." he smiled widely.

"Sir, If I were to come back on my work, then what would happen to Rome?" He breathed deeply. "I don't want him to lose his work because of me."

Julius shushed him down. "You do not need to worry. I am just keeping him in my side for the meantime since you're still not here." he answered.

Unknown to Julius, Rome could hear all the things that he was seeing. This caused for a big fraction of hole to appear on Rome's heart. He clenched his fist.

Hugo looked down. "But, I pity him, Sir. I know Rome is such a good man and he has been working for you for multiple years already. So wouldn't it hurt him?"

"Of course not. You don't need to be worried about him. I can handle him already."

Hugo showed as if he was interested with all the things that Julius has been saying.

"Really? How so?

Julius laughed. "Well, Rome is just a dog who will always follow whatever I say—"

"So a dog, huh?" Rome barged into the room with his ragged breathing. He looked at Julius with his eyes blazing in anger.

"What are you doing here?" Julius's brows shot uo. "Didn't I tell you to leave already?"

"Wow!" Rome reacted as if he was surprised. "You're asking me what am I doing here after I hear you saying all those words?" he scoffed.

His eyes turned to Hugo who was giving him a mischievous smile. Since Hugo was at the back of Julius, he can gladly do whatever he liked without getting caught.

'I told you,' he mouthed.

As if this was a trigger for Rome's anger to fully blast.

"Y-You!" Rome's hands trembled as he pointed it right in front of Hugo's face.

Everything happened so quick that Hugo didn't expect that he would get punched by Rome on his face.

'Useless,' but he continued to mock Rome.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" Rome's anger didn't surface even after punching Hugo in his face.

He was about to punch Hugo another time when Julius tightly grabbed his fist.

"I told you to stop, didn't I?" Julius's voice was now as cold as Ice. He was staring at Rome murderously as if with just one move and he will surely get buried 6 feet underground.

But still, Rome didn't listen. He was about to take a step forward to be free from Julius's hold when Julius punched him with full force.

Rome chuckled as blood dripped down his nose. He harshly wiped it out as the corner of his lips rose up.

"Do you think that will be the end?" He scoffed.

"EVERYTHING IS JUST STARTING! WATCH AND SEE HOW I REVEAL ALL YOUR EVIL DOINGS IN THE WORLD. LET'S SEE IF PEOPLE WILL STILL ACCEPT YOU!"
