Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Should I Kill Her?
Neo didn’t like taking over Neo Hargraves body and living while tricking his family.

However, he had no intention of revealing his identity.

Neo was a victim too.

He never asked to possess someone else’s body.

He just woke up one day, and found he became Neo Hargraves.

“Eat, bitch,” Henry said.

They sat on a table filled with lavish food.

Neo did not touch the food immediately.

“Aren’t you curious how I thought I could save the Queen?”

“I am,” Henry answered. “But we can talk after you aren’t hungry anymore.”

Neo chewed the food with slow, graceful movements.

It was awkward.

He was trying his best to imitate what he thought was Neo Hargraves’ behavior.

This was must be how rich people ate—

“Why the fuck are you eating so slowly? Did you hit your head? Or are you trying to look cool because of that bitch’s daughter next to you?”

—apparently Neo Hargraves was different from his imagination.

Neo let go off the weird way he was eating and started to eat normally.

He looked at Amelia.

“Don’t sit there and stare at me. That asshole just said… eat,” he told her.

Neo peeked at his brother.

Even though he called him ‘asshole’ he did not react.

‘As expected, these guys talk like this,’ he thought.

“How did you stop Mermaid Country from coming after Neo?” Amelia asked after she chewed. “They must’ve sent someone after him if they released the news about him.”

It did not look like Henry had any plan of answering her.

But he spoke when he noticed Neo staring at him curiously,

“I asked them for proof and told them to stop if they had no proper justification.”

Henry added,

“They refused, of course. So I told them I’d nuke their country if they don’t stop.”

“Ah… I forget that. They don’t have mom’s protection anymore. Mermaid Country is now easy to threaten.”

“Now?” Henry clicked that tongue. “I don’t fear that bitch. Rather, I wanted to kill her myself. Do you know how much money I lost because of her?”

Amelia was ticked off by the repeated insults.

She didn’t stop even after seeing Neo’s signal.

“Isn’t that too much to say? I don’t like how you—”

“Bitch, stop talking. Don’t think you are safe. Depending on Neo’s answer, I might kill you right here, right now.”

She closed her mouth abruptly.

The previous favorable impression of Henry was overturned in her mind.

Henry ignored her glare and turned to Neo.

“Since you’ve finished eating, tell me. What happened?”

“I awakened my God Blood,” Neo answered. “My skill could save the Queen, and I approached Amelia.”

He hid the existence of Divine Water pond.

If Henry knew about it, he might ask Neo what he did with it.

That would definitely lead to Elizabeth and Henry’s meeting.

Neo felt a shiver crawl up his spine.

He had to stop these two crazy bastards from meeting each other. They were enemies and they would definitely fight over the Divine Water pond.

“What’s your skill?” Henry asked.

“…”

“What is it, fucker? Don’t you dare say you forgot. I haven’t forgiven you for registering into Demigod Academy.”

“….I’m Immortal.”

Henry blinked.

It took him a moment to understand Neo’s words.

“You tried to transfer that bitch’s curse to yourself!?”

Henry smashed his fist into the table and glared at Neo.

Amelia didn’t feel afraid, but Neo did.

Because he knew Henry’s hidden identity.

“You fucking bitch! What would have happened if you died!? Did you forget our promise to mom and dad!?”

Henry grabbed Neo’s collar.

“Tell me. Why did you put your life on the line? If you don’t have a good reason, I’ll kill you myself.”

Suddenly, Henry frowned.

He turned to Amelia.

“Was it this bitch? Or did her cunt mother blackmail you?”

Henry pointed his finger towards Amelia.

Recognizing the motion, Neo realized to his horror that Henry was about to kill Amelia. He didn’t care if it meant revealing his powers.

“Wait a second! She is pregnant with my child!”

Neo spoke the first words that came to his mind.

“Huh?”

“What?”

Amelia let out a confused voice and Henry seemed baffled.

Neo didn’t care what he was saying and continued,

“After I failed to save the Queen, Amelia and I were depressed. We weren’t in our right mind and things happened between us.”

“Nothing happened! Don’t lie to him!”

Amelia became livid.

Her face was beet red.

However, her embarrassment only supported Neo’s words.

“Is that true?” Henry asked.

“…Yes.”

“No, it isn’t! Listen to me! Why are you believing him without any proof!?”

Amelia wanted to cry but had no tear.

She didn’t understand why Neo was doing this to her.

As she tried to stand, Henry pushed down on her shoulders.

“Sit. It’s not good for the child if your blood pressure becomes too high.”

“I’m telling you I’m not pregnant!”

“It’s okay, I understand. Even if it was a mistake, it is my duty as an adult to stand by you two and guide you.”

“You don’t understand anything!”

“Amelia…” Neo approached her.

“W-what?”

Neo looked at her with his usual serious expression.

She became flustered when he stared at her intensely.

“We don’t need to hide it from our brother. I trust him.”

“Stop lying, please!”

Watching Amelia’s vehement protest, Henry became doubtful.

Neo noticed that and used the secret trick up his sleeve.

He activated Ocean’s Embrace Spell.

His body was covered in faint blue light.

“This is the Tremor-ranked Spell the Queen passed onto me. You should know…”

“Only two people can inherit that Spell. So, it’s really true.”

Henry clicked his tongue.

“Isn’t she an Academy student? Is it safe for her to attend such a dangerous place in her condition?” Henry asked.

“We have no other choice. If the news about our child spreads, others will know I, as her fiancé, must’ve inherited the Tremor-ranked Spell.

“It would cause trouble since I’m not strong like her mother to protect the Spell,” Neo explained.
