Supreme Master In The Apocalypse-Chapter 109 Starting To Get Suspicious

The news regarding Rome's death has reached the ears of the people.

The people had expressed their misery regarding it.

Rome was known to be the genius behind the medicines and vitamins that ELO had produced throughout the years.

He was considered a part of the 100 most influential in Lunaria, knowing how his words about health and lifestyle are followed by all, despite their ages.

Hugo, who has been scrolling down aome news articles, couldn't help but shake his head in amusement.

"So this is how far they can go for their greed?" He uttered.

The articles showing Rome's death all have one similarity. And that's the lie regarding how he died.

[Breaking News! ELO's head scientist has been found dead in his house in the middle of the night, just this morning. The police had said that he peacefully died in his sleep.]

He couldn't help but laugh out loud after reading it for the fifth time.

'How idiot are these people that they actually believe that lie?'

"Why are you laughing so loud brother?" Hailey looked at her brother weirdly. When she remembered it, the look on her eyes changed. "Are you talking with your girlfriend?"

Hugo shook his head. "Nah, I just came across a funny post online."

Hailey pouted at what she heard. "And yet you're not sharing to me what it is? So unfair!"

Laughing, Hugo placed his hands on top of her head, messing it up. "You're too young to know what it is."

Hailey made a face. "You're still unfair! Hmp!"

Hugo just laughed out loud as he watch how his sister sulk.

After yesterday, he came home without talking to Julius. After he said those words, all of the people became scared that they had to go back to their original position.

The whole Crimsom Winterville fell into silence the whole night. They were mourning for Rome's death, especially that he had been there for years already.

Even if it wasn't obvious, since Rome came from the lowest of low, he was kind to the workers who have been working for them.

He showed kindness and appreciation to their work… something that he has never gotten sincerely from Julius.

He gave them some money, if they ever needed it, so his death has brought sorrows to their hearts.

Hugo, who knew that from the start, has decided to use Julius's people against him.

Rome's death is one thing that will make their mouths speak up.

He just needed to push them a little bit more so they would contest against Julius.

Hugo does not believe that Lunaria's situation will improve. Their Justice system was already shit, so he wouldn't even dare thinking that he will let them handle Julius's case if ever.

He gotta act on himself if he wants Julius to experience the punishment that he truly deserved.

It was already afternoon and since it was already friday, Hailey do not have to go to her school. That means Hugo just needs to stay in their house without doing anything.

Hitano and Verda arrived at their house after a few hours. Verda, who left her company chose to apply on Hitano's company.

Even though it was hard for her to adjust first, she was glad that Hitano have helped her thoroughly.

"Mother, Father," Hugo greeted them as he opened the door.

Verda sadly looked at Hugo. She carefully caressed her son's cheeks. "Go and tell to your sister that we will be hoing somewhere."

"Where is it?" Hugo's forehead creased. He didn't remember that they will go somewhere today.

"Just listen to me, alright?" Verda answered. She took a depe sigh. "We will wait for both of you outside the house. Be quick and make sure to wear black clothes"

Hugo hearing the last words have confirmed one thing.

"M-Mother–"

"Just follow me Hugo. Don't ask any more questions."

Hugo choose to stay quiet when he saw the seriousness on Verda's voice. He took a deep sigh before nodding so he could go to Hailey who was playing in their parent's room.

"Hailey, go change your clothes into this one." Hugo took out some of Hailey's dress thag was being hanged on the cabinet.

"Why brother?" Hailey stopped playing eith her dolls. She stood up and went closer to Hugo, holding unto the bottom of his tshirt.

"We will go somewhere." He informed her. "I will be changing my clothes too. You can already do yours alone right?"

"Yesh! Hailey enthusiasticaly answered. He smiled widely as she try on the dress after Hugo left her alone in the room.

Hugo, also changed her clothes into something semi formal. He looked at the mirror.

"It seems like we will go to Rome's funeral." He tilted hos head to the side.

"I thought my mother already cutted her ties with Julius. It seems like that would be completely impossible."

Hugo shook his head as he left his room. He went back to fetch Hailey before the both of them went outside.

"We will go to Sir Rome's funeral so I asked the both of you to be at least respectful." Verda glanced over to Hugo. "Just this once." 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

The four of them rode a cab going directly to where the funeral was being held.

Even though it was a private funeral, there were still a lot of reporters surrounding the area, ready to capture the people who will be attending.

Just as Hugo expected, Julius wouldn't really back down on making everything favor for him.

When they entered inside, Julius was surrounded by multiple reporters that were allowed to video. He was in tears as he say how he and Rome was close to each other.

It started off with him saying how he discovered Rome's capabilities as a person and how he was the one to ever give him his first work.

The reporters who were capturing everything that Julius has been saying was mesmerized by the man's story.

Hugo chuckeled, 'I wonder how would they react once they knew that he was the one to kill Rome.' the corners of his lips rose ip.

"That would be fun to wacth. I wonder if the CCTV cameras captured that scene "

When an idea crossed Hugo's mind, he mischeviously smiled.

With Verda leading the walk, she and her family went closer to Julius after the reporters left.

"We are sharing our deep condolence to you, Sir." Verda uttered in a low voice. Sbe looked at Julius who looked like as if he haven't slept for the whole night.

Julius lightly smiled. "Thank uou for your consideration," he answered. The tears on bis face slowly fell down.

Verda couldn't help but feel lire pity to Julius. She unconsciously hugged him when Julius bawled in tears.

Hugo who has been watching it all, felt disgusted. He had to step to the side with his sister when reporters came rushing after Julius's loud cry echoed on the whole place.

Hugo saw that the people who have attended Rome's funeral belonged to those who has high rankings in the government. If not, then they belong to an influencial family.

"President Damien is here!"

A commotion happened after mentioning Damien's name. The reporter changed their camera's directiom towards the door where Damien entered.

He looked so sad as he went closer. He was carrying a flower on his hands, placing them down on the skde where the lther flowers were placed. Since it was accustomed in Lunaria to give white flowers to a decease person.

Julius who has been acting all along stood up as well to greet Damien on his entering.

They shook hands and said their greetings to each other.

"Where is Noah?" Damien asked him when he saw that Noah wasn't there.

"I am here, Sir." Noah's voice sounded. He opened the door widely so he can enter freely.

"I am glad that you came to visit us," he smiled as he patted.Damien's back.

"Well, anything for you." Damien chuckeled.

Noah smiled. "I won't hold the both of you for so long then." He bowed his head before he went to the side to greet some of his business partners.

Julius and Damien went.to the middle so they could talk with other people.

Noah who have gotte silent after being left alone on the side, survey the whole area. He stood up to went closer to Rome's coffin in the middle. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

"I will get to the bottom of this, I promise you."

Noah, even though he didn't look like he was a good person, really has a good spot towards his allies.

He knew for sure that his only family in this world was all the people who have been working and loyal to him for a long time.

And the fact that one of his 'family' died like this, be wouldn't just stand still.

He took a quick glimpse at Julius who was sitting on the side, talking to some people.

"I just hope that you're not behind this."
