Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Hugo was well prepared for the upcoming dinner. He grinned. He knew for sure that Julius came here for a reason.

That was to see if he was familiar with the white powder that they placed inside the drink. And he wouldn't just sit alone and do nothing.

He just needs to act as if he didn't know anything, and all were based on coincidence.

Standing outside of their house, Hugo's family was patiently waiting in front. It was Verda who was obviously happy about what was happening.

"Julius Achre coming into our house sounds surreal," she amusingly uttered.

However, she didn't see how Hugo rolled his eyes after reading his mother's thoughts.

He didn't know why his mother was so attached to Julius. 'If this goes on, I wouldn't know what to do." he sighed deeply.

A car arrived in front of their house after a couple of minutes. It surprised him that Julius was alone. There were no signs of media following him around.

Even Rome, who used to be always on his side, wasn't there.

'I see that he is taking precautions in case I knew something.' his grin became wider. It seems like there were a lot of doubts in Julius's mind.

'But I am a kind person, so I will ease those doubts for him.'

When Julius came down from his car. There was a box of cake in his hands. He looked as if he was a normal person who was just visiting a relative's house.

"Sir Julius! I was so surprised why you suddenly want to visit our house." Verda greeted. She flashed a smile on her face as she welcomed Julius.

"I am glad to meet you again, Sir." Hitano formally accepted Julius's hands.

Of course, Hugo wouldn't be defeated by Julius's fake smiles. He needs to level up his acting skills. He was the one who walked toward Julius.

"I am pleased to meet you as well, Sir."

"Hugo…" Julius breathed out. He tried watching Hugo's expression, but all he could see was pure happiness in his eyes.

'Did he not recognize it?' he questioned his mind.

The powder that they told Carlo to mix on the students' drink was actually not the same as the vitamins, although it tastes and smells the same.

It was an upgraded formula that they had made.

The list of families who were on their list already received the vitamins a week ago. They have secured a permit because of President Damien, who kept on backing them up.

So far, after a week, there was still no news about its bad effect on humans. It has been a success so far as they can remember.

The new formula could help the people to be stronger than ever. This fastens their metabolism and helps strengthen their muscle.

Now, if they managed to find the man who had superpowers, he was sure that in no time they can create another one with the same abilities.

They just need to extract its DNA and tried placed it in another body. In order to do that, they need to find a worthy person who can be their 'storage'.

The secret about the Lunaria's feast was that Damien had created that event to find the person who will be their storage.

.

"Let's enter now, Sir." Verda announced as she opened the door of their house.

Julius directly went inside. His gaze didn't leave Hugo's face.

He remembered the topic that they talked about in Damien's office back then. They were eyeing some people on who to conduct this experiment, and Hugo was one of them.

They were quite amazed since Hugo was the only passer for the scholarship program that they granted to Lunaria Academia.

Adding to it was that he was able to top the rankings even though he was just in his first year, beating more than 700 students overall.

Hugo secretly clenched his fist. 'I won't be your experiment tool once again.' he whispered in the air.

When he noticed that his eyes were already glaring at Julius, he immediately looked at the side, closing them.

'Calm down. Being irrational won't help you…' He reminded himself before following his family towards the dining table.

"I'm sorry, Sir if our house is too small." Verda apologetically uttered. She worriedly looked at Julius.

"That's not a problem, Verda. I should be the one apologizing for my sudden visit." Julius' smile was obviously fake, but it seems like Verda was blinded by it.

Only Hailey and Hugo, who was silent, noticed it. Hailey held her brother's hands underneath the table before glancing at him.

"Brother, I am scared of him…" Leaning against Hugo, Hailey whispered it right into his ear.

Hugo patted Hailey's back. He smiled at her. "Don't worry," he whispered back. "I wouldn't let anything happen to you."

Hailey nodded as she pouted. She let go of Hugo's hands before looking around her.

"May I ask, what was the reason why you decided to visit us, Sir?" Verda nervously chuckled.

"I was on a nearby street doing some volunteer work when I remembered that your family is living here. That's why I decided to visit here." Julius swiftly answered. "And don't apologize about your house. I think that it is pretty good enough."

Hugo silently rolled his eyes. 'Pretty good enough, but your mind says otherwise.'

"We should start eating now, Mother." He interrupted when he felt that it would still take them quite some time before they thought about it.

"Oh, right." Verda smiled. "You may get your food now." she informed them.

Hugo placed some food on Hailey's plate before he placed some on his. Seeing it, Julius took this as an opportunity to ask Hugo about something.

It was the main reason why he went here after all.

"Hugo, I heard that Lunaria Academia has encountered a little accident. Do you have any idea where it came from?"

Hugo shook his head. He made the look on his face change as if he was anxious.

"No, Sir. I am surprised as well when I saw it! I just hope that Headmaster Leon can find who it was."
