Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 18

Neo didn't agree or refuse to her request.

He ignored her and focused on the tea.

Clara barely held herself back from killing him.

"What do I need to do?" she questioned again.

Neo answered this time.

"Save the Queen."

He added,

"I will remove the Death Mark from you and your brother if you do that."

If Clara removed the curse, the Queen could singlehandedly overturn the outcome of the rebellion.

However, if she refused Neo…

Clara did not care if she died, but she didn't want Paul to die along with her.

She had to make a choice.

The rebellion or her brother.

She bit her lips until they bled.

Suddenly, Paul called out to her.

"S-sis, save me, please. It hurts! It h-hurts so much I want to die!"

His face was covered in tears, snot and blood.

He continued to claw his face and worsen the injuries.

Clara's heart shook when she saw the miserable sight.

"Are you even human!? How can you do that and drink tea like nothing!?" She shouted at Neo.

"I wasn't the one who killed me." Neo placed the cup on the table. "Why should I be lenient to someone who killed me?"

"He did nothing! I was the one who killed you!"

"And you will die too if you don't accept the deal."

Clara abruptly closed her mouth.

She could see it.

Neo was calm.

Too calm.

He was used to Death.

Killing others was no different from breathing for him.

He didn't value life.

Still, Clara could not make a decision.

Was it correct to give up the rebellion for only her brother and herself?

No, that was too selfish.

"Before you refuse…"

Neo suddenly spoke.

"Don't think this is will end here."

"What do you mean….?"

"Remember what bloodline I have."

"….Monarch of Death."

Neo nodded.

"If you refuse me, I will make sure both of you go through something much worse for the eternity you will spend in the Underworld."

His words were like a bomb dropped on her head.

She wanted to say it was impossible.

The God of Death, the End's Jury, and the Grim Reapers were impartial.

But.

Neo was an exception.

He was the Death's inheritor and…

He came back to life, he did something impossible.

It was very likely he was capable of achieving what he just said.

Clara wanted to take time and think before answering, however, every second she wasted thinking was another second where his brother underwent unimaginable pain.

"…I will do it."

She bit her lips.

"I will do as you said. So please stop hurting my brother."

"Let him be for a few minutes. I want to hear him scream."

Neo looked at the time.

There were two hours left until the Immortal recharged.

If he let Paul go, what was he supposed to do?

Dance?

He had a reason to stall for time with his answer, even if he looked like a psychopath.

As minutes went by, Clara thought about killing Neo countless times.
