Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Tsundere Villain
“Who was this person? And don’t you dare say you don’t know him because the caller definitely knew you.”

Amelia held his hand and dragged him away.

They had to leave before the caller came to find them.

Neo could only divert her question.

He didn’t know the caller’s identity himself.

“Can you contact your mother? We might need her help.”

“I can’t. Since I stayed with you two all the times, I had no chance to buy a smartphone for her.”

It took them a few dozen minutes to find a taxi.

They asked the taxi driver to take them to bullet train station.

From there, they purchased a ticket for the station nearest to the Academy.

Neo didn’t know why but he was sweating heavily.

It seemed to him that his body recognized the caller’s voice and was afraid to meet him.

As soon as they got off from the bullet train, they realized something was wrong.

“Get ready to fight.”

“I know.”

The station was empty.

The people on the train were being stopped from getting off.

‘Who is it? Who has the power to evacuate a whole station in broad daylight,’ thought Neo.

They waited.

But nothing happened.

“What should we do?” Amelia asked.

“Waiting won’t change anything. Let’s try to leave the station,” Neo said.

As they walked, they noticed that the staff members were also missing.

The station looked like a ghost town.

Suddenly, Neo noticed a presence.

He signaled Amelia towards the man at the station’s entrance.

The man, a blonde, had a scar that ran from his right eye to his lower jaw.

He was extremely handsome.

He wore a black suit and puffed a smoke.

“You are two minutes late. Do you understand you just wasted my two millions?” the man said.

The voice matched the caller.

Neo recognized the identity of the man from the scar.

‘First Elizabeth and now him? Why am I getting entangled these types of people,’ he thought worriedly.

“Get in the car.”

The man threw the cigarette before sitting inside the car parked at the entrance.

Amelia raised her bow.

“We should fight. He doesn’t seem strong so—”

“No, let’s listen to him.”

Neo told her with a dry throat.

The man, Henry Hargraves, was as dangerous as Elizabeth, perhaps even more.

Hmm?

Henry… Hargraves?

The same Hargraves as Neo Hargraves?

“Brother?” Neo asked cautiously.

Henry lowered the window and gave him a stare.

“What? Did you get your memory back?” Henry scoffed and opened another cigarette.

Amelia visibly relaxed after knowing he was Neo’s brother.

She wanted to ask why Neo had been acting as if he didn’t know him, but, judging from Neo’s expression, she felt there might be bad blood between them and remained silent.

“Should we enter the car?” She asked.

“Yeah.”

Amelia and Neo sat in the backseat while Henry drove the car.

The car moved through the busy road for dozens of minutes.

Just when Amelia felt something was wrong, they stopped at a red light, and Henry looked in the mirror.

“Did you go to the Mermaid Country?”

“Yes.”

“tch, you look famished, fucker. Did you fucking eat something or not?” Henry took a puff of smoke. “And why is that bitch’s daughter with you?”

Amelia reacted when he insulted a mother.

But Neo stopped her by placing his hand over her hand.

‘Don’t move. Please don’t move,’ Neo tried to tell her with his eyes.

Henry and Elizabeth had bad blood between them.

He hated Amelia because he couldn’t kill Elizabeth with his own hands.

After Henry went rogue in the novel, the first harem member he killed was Amelia.

Henry continued to talk.

“Anyway, why did you go to the Mermaid Country?”

“…To heal the Queen.”

There was no point in lying.

Henry could find the information easily with his contacts.

“Fucking shithead, won’t you try to deny the responsibility like you always do?”

Henry threw the cigarette butt from the window and pulled out another from the pack.

He took a puff.

“Fuck. I couldn’t even sleep because of you fucker.”

“What do you mean?”

“Hahahaha, look at his dickhead. Do you seriously don’t know what is happening?”

Henry saw Neo’s frown and Amelia’s confused expression.

“You really don’t know? Wow, fuck.”

He pulled out a newspaper from the car’s footwell and threw it at Neo.

Neo read the headlines.

“Those fucking fishes said you had a hand in bitch’s death and you kidnapped her daughter.

“Congratulation, fucker, you are an internationally wanted criminal. Senior Templars are already after your ass.”

“What!? That’s a lie! He didn’t do anything wrong! He is the one who saved u— ouch!”

Neo pinched Amelia’s hand before she revealed Elizabeth was alive.

She looked at him with confused eyes.

He shook his head and looked at Henry,

“I hope you took care of the issue?”

“Of course, there is no way I’d let those damned fuckers harm my little-fucking-shit-of-a-brother.”

The red light turned green.

Henry stopped speaking and focused on driving.

“Who is your brother?” Amelia whispered. “Is he an Exalted Demigod? How can he stop Senior Templars and talk like it was nothing?”

“No, he is a normal personal.”

In simpler terms, Henry couldn’t awaken his God Blood.

“Then, how…?” Amelia asked.

“He is rich. Filthy rich.”

Amelia closed her mouth and looked at him as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

However, he wasn’t lying.

Wealth was just another form of strength.

The car stopped in front of a high-end restaurant.

Henry got off.

“Bitch, come out. I can’t stand anymore looking at a starved fish like you. We are going to stuff you until you explode.”

While Amelia and Neo followed Henry into the restaurant, she leaned towards him and whispered.

“He loves you despite how he acts, doesn’t he?”

She giggled.

“I know what they call people like him. Tsundere.”

Neo gulped as he noticed her impression of his brother improving.

Henry certainly loved his brother.

When Henry’s brother mysteriously passed away in the novel, he believed his brother died in Academy’s ranking competition and turned against the Academy.

In later stages, Henry razed half of the continent to the ground and killed majority of the characters and harem members.

Henry did all of this because he wanted to avenge his brother.

And….

Neo wasn’t his brother.

‘I’m fucked if he finds out I took over his brother’s body.’
