Chapter 164 The Symbol?
[Hugo… I didn't know that hospital like this is so big!]
There was excitement in Hendrix's voice as he informed Hugo about it. Since Hendrix was part of the early members who had access inside, they had quite a chill time going around without worries.
[Where are you now?]
Hugo's forehead creased as he saw the previous batch of people going down. But he didn't even got a glimpse of either Natalia, Jimon, and Hendrix.
[We are back at the apartment.]
Hendrix answered as if it was not a big deal.
Hugo sighed. 'Alright,' he answered as he looked at the side.
"We can take our time. Hendrix and the others were back already." He informed her.
Alliyah nodded as the both of them moved forward. They entered the elevator and followed the guide, assisting them towards both Julius and Noah's room.
On the other hand, Hendrix and the others successfully went back.
Hendrix excused himself. "I will just go somewhere. If I don't get back in 2 hours, then just inform Hugo that I did something important."
Natalia nodded. "Alright," she smiled as she waved her hands towards Hendrix.
Hendrix smiled back. He went upstairs and went directly to the room. He opened the window and let the bird in.
The reason that they went directly here was that while they were on the hospital, Thalia called for his name.
"Let's go somewhere," Hendrix uttered as he touched Thalia's shoulder, teleporting them together towards his forest.
It's the 2500th celebration of Azura's birthday. He couldn't believe that the man was that old already even though it doesn't show on their physical features.
"What do you plan to give to Azura?" Hendrix asked Thalia as they both strolled around the area.
"Maybe I will just give some wines that I personally made," Thalia answered as she thought of other things to give towards Azura.
Hendrix nodded at what Thalia had said. He was thinking of what to give Azura as a birthday present. He basically grew up with him, so it would be a pity if he wouldn't even give him any presents.
"I do not know what to give to him," Hendrix sighed as he looked around.
"Azura is usually busy this time, right?" Thalia turned over as her lips quirked upward.
"Well, how would I know if I haven't been to heaven, for so long?" Hendrix answered as he shrugged his shoulders. "However, knowing him… then the answer would probably be yes."
"Let's go at the Mortal's territory!" Thalia excitedly suggested after giving it some thoughts.
"Azura will scold us once he knew that you left again." Hendrix glared at Thalia.
"Don't worry, we will just look for presents to give Azura. We won't make any chaos, I promise." Thalia answered with a smile on her face. "After all, how can I harm my people, right?" she answered.
"Alright but make it quick. I got to be back before the sun sets." Hendrix uttered.
Thalia smiled widely as she swayed her hands and teleported back to the mortal realm. Unlike the same, they teleported to a different place on a faraway continent from the land.
"Wooh!!"
"Die! Die! Die!"
"Place your votes, everyone!"
With furrowed brows, Thalia looked around and saw mortals gathering at the middle of the street. On the side was a wooded table carrying a lot of money that the people place to bet on their favorites.
"I will vote for Marquez!" An old man shouted as he placed in 3 silver bars on the table.
With rigged clothes, the man, sitting in front of the table smiled. It seems like they will have a lot of profits today.
The audience was cut in half. The right side was supporting a man named Marquez. While the other side was supporting the man named Yuki. They were both renowned fighters on their street.
"What are they doing?" Hendrix cluelessly asked Thalia since she know the most about how the humans act.
The old woman looked at Hendrix as if he said something wrong. "Are you not from here? This is what everyone is expecting every weekend!"
"…"
Hendrix just looked around. He didn't know what was fun with seeing people betting around.
"Let's get closer." Thalia uttered.
Hendrix didn't know their exact location since he rarely goes into the mortal realm. They were in a crowded street. The lights on the side street were blinking as if it was already broken.
"Lat call for your bets!" The same old man shouted as a group of people gathered in front of his wooden table.
"Are they going to fight?" Hendrix asked, his voice was filled with curiosity.
Looking ridiculously, "Of course! What do you expect them to do? Play in the middle of the ring?" The old woman sarcastically answered before she walked away.
Hendrix scratched the back of his head as the woman left them alone. A few seconds had passed before he poke once again.
"Who do you think will win?" Hendrix smirked as he glanced over Thalia's side.
"I think the one that has long hair. Marquez? I think that's his name." Thalia answered as her eyes flew to the stage in the middle.
The whole street was crowded with people that were enjoying the fight. It attracted a lot of new attention from those who were just passing by.
Hendrix nodded and smiled, "Then I will support the other one." He grinned.
Thalia shook her head as the cheers from the crowds echoed in their ears. She saw how the Marquez man throws punches in the air, which Yuki carefully dodged. A tension rose up within the two men as they feel each other's movement.
"What were they doing?" Hendrix's brows furrowed as he saw how the man named Marquez turned angry after seeing Yuki talking for a few seconds.
"Hmm, I think he was provoking him," Thalia answered as she pointed out Yuki on the left side of the court.
"WOH!!!"
"YUKI! YUKI! YUKI!"
The crowd turned excited at what they were seeing. Marquez groaned in pain as he tried his best to dodge the punches being thrown at him. Blood came out of her mouth as he coughed badly.
Gathering his strength up, Marquez forcefully got away with the man's hold.
"I will kill you!" He shouted out loud.
The situation changed again and the shouts of the people went unto Marquez's side.
"I'm getting bored around here, Hendrix. The fight was not that great." Thalia's brows furrowed as she looked over the stage. Witnessing how the tables quickly turned around in a snap.
"Should we go now?" Hendrix asked as he glanced over at the woman.
Smiling, Thalia nodded her head. "But before that, let me do this first."
Opening up her palms, a small bead of light came out that fled into the sky. Water started to pour afterward in a heavily manner that caused the fight to stop. Blood flew from the ground, coming from the wounds of both guys in the middle.
Panic was evident on the people's faces as they searched for some shed that could protect them from the rain. The old man in the middle quickly hid the money coming from the top of the table.
"Quick! Help me! The monies will get wet!" He screamed at his sons as they ran faster to the man's location.
Shaking her head in dismay, Thalia looked at Hendrix. She nodded her head before they took a step out of the area, leaving the people alarmed at the sudden downfall of the rain.
"It's Azura's Birthday. I don't want to see any deaths today." Thalia shrugged her shoulders as Hendrix looked weirdly at her.
On the other hand, one of the two men, was curious on what his eyes had seen.
"Did you see two women wearing a white and long dress?" Marquez, who was the first one to stand up, asked someone from the crown.
"White and long dress? Who would wear such a thing in a place like this?" The person that he asked with. answered as if he said something funny.
"Oh, right? Don't mind me," Confused at what he saw, Marquez took a deep breath and tilted his head to the side.
He didn't know if he was imagining things, but he was sure as hell that he did see a circle-shaped light that came out from the woman's hands before the rain started.
After what happened earlier, both of them went back to Hendrix's Forest.
"I thought you will look for a present for Azura?" Hendrix looked at Thalia.
"We were supposed to," Thalia answered as she shift the pages of the book that she was reading.
"Then why are we back in my forest?"
"The man Marquez. I think he's not a mere human." Thalia lowly uttered in the air. "I saw a familiar mark on his back." Shaking her head, Thalia took out a paper from her drawer.
She started to draw the symbol that she saw. It was not visible, but she had a glimpse of it when it reflected from the light that came out from her palms earlier.
"Are you familiar with this?".
