Supreme Master In The Apocalypse-Chapter 23 Telephone Call

[Breaking News! Julius Achre from ELO was seen falling down on his chair from a birthday party that he attended yesterday. We have talked to his secretary about what truly happened, but they still haven't given any response.]

Hugo's lips twisted as he watched the news on their television. 'That was fast,' he thought as he took a seat at their dining table.

"I wonder if Sir Julius is fine," Verda worriedly gazed at her son.

After the incident yesterday, Julius hurriedly left the building. It was unfortunate for Hugo because he couldn't see Julius's reaction. But he knows for sure that he was still furious about what happened.

"They checked the CCTV camera in the building, but they didn't see anything suspicious."

"Maybe it was really accidental, Mother," Hugo paused for a while. "After all, if the cameras didn't see anyone, then that only means there was really no culprit behind it."

Verda took a deep breath and agreed to Hugo's words. "Yes. But I heard that they are investigating all the important guests at the party and all those people who went near their table."

'Well, they wouldn't find anything,' Hugo secretly grinned. "I hope their investigation can produce great results." he lightly smiled.

"I hope too, Son." Verda nodded her head. "It was really unfortunate. Sir Julius was kind and very nice to people."

Hugo almost choked on his food from what he heard.

'Damn, my mother keeps saying bad words in front of the food.' He sighed before drinking some water from his glass.

He didn't bother to answer Verda anymore, since there was no use. It seems like Julius had already brainwashed her mother into thinking that he was a great man. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

"I have to go to the library later," Hugo informed Verda as they finished eating their breakfast.

Verda's brows shot up. "Isn't it Sunday today?" her eyes flew to Hugo.

"Yes. But I still have some homework." Hugo shrugged his shoulders before standing up. "I will prepare already." he didn't wait for Verda's answer before leaving.

Hugo took out his phone from his pocket and lay down on his bed. He immediately clicked on the internet and search the news from earlier. He immediately saw some news articles after loading.

He clicked one of them and proceeded to go to the comment section.

"HAHAHA!"

Hugo couldn't help but burst into laughter after he saw some of the comments at the bottom of the article. "This is epic!" he exclaimed as he read a few more.

@ProTect_LoLi: Dang! Julius' reaction when he fell down receives appreciation. He should be a meme!

@trickster_: Bro! Have you all watched the video? When the man fell down, it was epic. I swear! I even thought his pants would be ripped off.

@HolyPepe: I thought Julius was nice? What's with his shouting, man? That doesn't seem like how a nice person would react when these kinds of incidents happen.

Hugo liked all the comments containing Julius's defamation. He was in a good mood as he took a bath and change his clothes. He will go to Lilith's house since they have a schedule for today.

Lilith has been messaging him since he replied. After thinking carefully before he slept yesterday, he decided that he will just go to her house today and work.

He kinda missed getting paid as well.

"YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHITS!"

Julius angrily pointed his hands at the people around him. He forcefully threw away the vase on top of his desk to the ground, which created a loud crashing noise.

"Didn't I tell you to block all the news outlets so that what happened yesterday wouldn't go out to the public?" He clenched his jaw as he looked at his assistant, who was silent on the side.

"I've done it, Sir!"

"If you did your job, then why the hell is it in the news articles?" Julius sarcastically answered. "You should know that I was the reason why you became a scientist! If it wasn't for me, then why would the company accept a lowly person like you?"

Rome slowly bowed his head. What Julius said was true. He was accepted as a scientist in their company because of Julius's connection.

Rome has been working for Julius for almost 5 years already. He already treats Julius as a friend. That's why even if the man can sometimes be rude, he had already gotten used to it.

"I-I'm sorry,' he sincerely apologized.

Julius scoffed. "What can your sorry even do to my reputation!" He quickly took the gun inside his drawer and pointed it out to everyone.

"What if I just kill you all?" ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

Everyone froze in their places after seeing a gun in Julius's hand. Even Rome was startled by what happened. It was the first time that Julius had acted this way.

In the past, Julius would just shout and throw away some things on the ground whenever he was mad. However, it was entirely different right now.

"S-Sir Julius…" Rome tried to calm Julius down, but it was no use. He was just caught off guard when the gun shifted in his direction.

"Do you want to try if this gun could kill people?" Julius slowly caressed the side of the gun with his fingers. "Isn't she pretty?" He asked as if he was mad,

*Kringgg

Everyone almost jumped when the telephone on the side suddenly rang. Julius sighed and stood up. He placed the gun on the table and glared. "Leave now or else…."

That was enough to make everyone scared. They quickly ran outside the building as if someone was running to get their lives. Rome was the only one who stayed inside the room together with Julius.

He answered the telephone when Julius glanced at his side.

"Hello. This is Rome, Julius Achre's assistant. May I know who is this?" He respectfully uttered.

"Give this to Julius. Now."

Rome didn't waste any second and quickly gave the telephone to Julius.

"Who is this?" Julius's forehead creased as he placed the telephone in his ears.

"We need to advance our plans. Call all the scientists right now and tell them to go to the lab tomorrow. We have discovered a new virus."
