Supreme Master In The Apocalypse-Chapter 99 First Challenge

"Here, take this." Hugo walked closer to Abigail, placing the USB drive in her hands. "You must only see this when you're alone." He strictly informed her.

Abigail, who was not taking everything seriously, chuckled. "Why? Does this contain any of your sex tapes?" She jokingly patted Hugo's shoulders.

The sides of his lips rose up. "Yeah. So you better watch it alone."

"Y-You!"

"I will get going now." Hugo didn't wait for her words to get finished. He walked past her, going out of the hallway and out of the building so he could leave already.

Abigail was flustered. She unbelievably looked at the USB driver in her hands. "Does this really contain his sex tape?" she asked herself.

Her eyes widened as she quickly hid it in her pocket. 'What are you thinking Abigail!' Scolding herself. 'This must contain something important for him to say that to me.'

Tilting her head to the side. Abigail grinned. "But honestly, I would like it more if it was really his sex tape."

Hugo quickly came back to their house. He was tasked by his mother to accompany Hailey to school since both she and Hitano wouldn't be able to do it today, now that their schedules clashed.

"Brother! I have been waiting for you for so long!" Hailey puffed her cheeks as she opened the door. She quickly wore her backpack and ran towards where Hugo was standing.

"It's still early! You won't be late even if I come back 10 minutes later." Hugo shook his head. He carried Hailey's lunchbox in her hands before they set out.

"I just wanted to arrive early so I can show my friends my new doll!" She pouted as she open up her bag to get the doll that Hugo has bought for him yesterday.

When Hugo got discharged from the hospital yesterday, he decided to buy one for Hailey when they crossed a small shop selling cheap dolls.

Even though Hugo wanted to buy an expensive one for Hailey, it will be no use since she will surely not play with it carelessly.

"Do you like it that much?" He smiled as he took Hailey's hands. They rode a cab and proceeded to go to her school.

"Of course!" Hailey enthusiastically answered.

It didn't take long before they arrived at Haile's schools. In there, Hugo waited patiently until Hailey disappeared from his sight. That was the only time before he was pleased enough to leave.

He decided to visit the police station that was handling the case about the children. Because most of the culprits died and the remaining was still unconscious, they still don't have any clues about who was the mastermind of all of these things.

"Good morning, officer." Hugo greeted them politely.

"Mr. Hugo! What brought you here?" The police officer was shocked to see Hugo.

"I just wanted to ask you about something, Sir. Does Lunaria currently has a high number of missing children?" He curiously asked. He was sure that what happened 2 weeks ago, wasn't the start of it.

The police officer looked shocked at what Hugo mentioned. He quickly opened up the notebook where all the information was stored.

"The reason why we are so eager to solve this case was because of this." The police officer pointed out the words that were written on top.

Hugo carefully looked at what was written on it. He saw that 20 children were missing last month, and 12, 2 months ago. That was a total of 32 children that were still haven't found.

"We thought that if we ever get to see who was the mastermind of the recent kidnapping was , then we could track all of these children as well." The police officer sighed out loud. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"But because there were no witnesses or any leads, we couldn't proceed with the case. We haven't heard any update from the government since last month."

"I will try my best to help on this one, sir." Hugo tilted his head to the side. "Can you give me all the details regarding this? And who are the possible people to be involved?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I will get fired if ever." The police officer shook his head. He went back to his deck and took out a small notepad. "This is the only thing I can give you." He smiled and gave it to Hugo.

"Thank you for this, Sir." He bid goodbye before going back to their house.

Since he was alone, he could read all the files with ease. He was able to finish all of them in just a few hours.

He has learned that the children who have gone missing only belonged to the poor sector. That's why the police were all curious about why.

The parents of these children had no money, so the motive was not to kidnap them for ransom.

Hugo remembered the files, that he had taken a picture from Julius's vault. He quickly opened up his phone to read it one by one.

At the same time, in an unknown land that was surrounded by gigantic mountains and trees, a secret warehouse was being stored. Numerous people wearing black uniforms were walking outside.

They were the four guards who were tasked to guard the outside of the place where the children were being kept.

It was already the right time to move their captives to a new location. Because of what happened at Lunaria that caused a big commotion, their boss decided that it was time for them to already move.

Unknown to Hugo, he was already right about his hunch that Julius and Noah were the masterminds behind all of this. They were making these children subject to an experiment that they have yet to master.

"Pedro, wake up!"

The man grabbed someone by his shoulder when he noticed that Petro, the man he was calling, was not breathing already. A long needle was buried in his neck. His eyes widened, and because they didn't know who was the culprit, his senses guard up.

His heart leaped. He alertly looked around the area. But before he could even possibly announce what happened to the other guard, an arrow struck his chest, and it resulted in his death as well.

Two of the remaining guards heard the noise coming from the side of the warehouse. One of them prepared up the torches in both of his hands and was ready to attack the upcoming enemies.

"Show yourselves!" The man shouted while looking around the area, "You cowards!"

The ground vibrated. A sudden force from the floor pierced through the two men. The wind blew coldly as both of the men found themselves being swallowed by a huge tower of soil. After a few seconds, the ground stopped shaking. The hole that was created was closed as if nothing had happened. Four bodies were quickly buried underneath in less than no time.

Inside the warehouse, children ranging from five to ten years old gathered in the middle. Their bodies were weak and were full of bruises. The guards from earlier did not bother to tie them up.

Although their hands and feet were both free, they could walk freely. They neither can escape nor shout, due to fear that the four ruthless men had inflicted.

A sudden sound echoed throughout the whole place. One of the windows above the warehouse was scattered into tiny glass pieces. It had caused the children inside to cry and panic.

But then someone from the outside threw a bottle containing a green liquid inside. When the glass bottle shattered on the floor. The green liquid suddenly turned into smoke. And as the white smoke filled up the whole place.

And the kids, one by one, fainted.

A light appeared in the sky that slowly traveled down the land. Thalia, who was wearing a majestic outfit, appeared suddenly in sight.

The people who were transporting all the children in a van stopped. Their eyes widened at what they saw.

"Stop what you are doing." Thalia firmly said. As she took a step, the air started to grow stronger.

"The heavens can't interfere with the human's life!" The person who was acting like a leader scoffed. He looked at his back. "Continue! They can't do anything here in the mortal world!"

Thalia chuckled. She smiled widely. "I can't interfere with humans." She paused for a while. "But I surely can interfere with fallen angels who choose to side with the fallen demon king."

"We are in the mortal world! Using your power here is not allowed!" The same person tried to shout back, even though his hands were already trembling.

"And who said that I will be the one to fight all of you?" Thalia's brows shot up.

A person suddenly appeared at her side. Celeste wave at all of them cheerfully before she turned her head towards Thalia.

"Your Highness." She bowed her head.

"Tell this location to him secretly," Thalia uttered. "This shall be his first challenge, now that he had passed the 1st trial.
