Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 183

The ground below was filled with adventures.

Leading them were powerful Demigods.

'They are Templars.'

Each one of them was far stronger than him.

The adventurers were emitting intense bloodlust, while the Templars stared at him curiously.

Neo's gaze shifted to the blue-haired young man.

He was holding him with Telekinesis.

Placing Neo on the ground, the blue-haired young man turned to his colleague.

"Check him for injuries."

"Yes, sir."

The green-haired woman's hand glowed.

Tiny white pollens materialized around her.

They flew towards Neo and seeped into his skin.

"He is… perfectly fine," the woman said, perplexed.

"Are you sure about that?" the blue-haired Templar, Elijah, questioned. "He has been alone inside a Tiger grade Window for seven days."

"Yes, he has no injuries, and he is in peak physical condition."

Elijah stared at Neo with a deep gaze.

He opened his mouth, addressing the adventurers and other Templars.

"Send Team 1 and Team 2 into the Window. The leaders – Templars – will secure the perimeter.

"Follow the standard protocol."

The adventurers moved.

Only Elijah and Shana, the green-haired woman, stayed with Neo.

"Neo Hargraves, we have a lot of questions for you. Follow us."

Neo nodded.

He entered a limo with them.

Inside, Neo met Professor Evelyn.

"It's good to see you in health, Neo."

She smiled and passed him several documents.

"While there is a ton I would love to say – thank you for protecting the city while the management was slow to react, congratulate you on returning and a job done perfectly – I believe we should focus on the urgent topics."

Shana coughed when Professor Evelyn mentioned 'management'.

It was a jab.

Professor Evelyn clicked her tongue slightly when Elijah ignored her words.

"You entered a Window without safety gear or permission.

"You used city-level attacks in the public domain.

"That's two major crimes, seventeen minor offenses, and more if we were to count how recklessly you fought.

"It's twenty years in prison minimum."

She continued.

"Normally, you would go straight to the Senate and be made to stand before the Jury, but the Academy appealed for your case.

"All matters have been settled while you were in the Window.

"You just need to give us a detailed summary of your time inside the Window and the Labyrinth, and you are good to go.

"There will be no prison sentence and you will be rewarded for your deeds."

Professor Evelyn continued to give him pointers about what to say and what not to say while giving the summary during the court hearing.

Elijah looked pissed, probably because he had to ignore the blatant misuse of authority.

But he had orders from the higher-ups.

And he had to listen.

After the pep talk ended, Professor Evelyn let go of her professional demeanor and praised Neo for his bravery.

She smiled, saying he exhibited an impressive control of Death, making sure to hit only his opponents.

According to her, a lot of adventurers had sent gifts to him since he was the only reason they were alive.

Their talk ended, and the car became silent.

Elijah stared at Neo with an unfriendly gaze.

Shana was going through her social media account.

Neo took out his device to pass the time.

He noticed hundreds of messages from his friends.

After giving them a short reply, he saw the messages from unknown contacts.

They were adventurer teams and other organizations trying to recruit Neo, or they were news reporters trying to fix an interview with Neo.

Neo ignored them.

Just then, a new message popped up.

>Henry Hargraves<

Henry: How are you?

Me: Good, I'd say.

Henry: When will you return home?

Me: No idea. I'm going to the Academy right now to deal with the proceedings of entering a Window illegally.

Henry: There is a press conference of Hargraves Corporation tomorrow before the launch of the Auction.

Henry: Be on time. You'll be attending it.

Henry: PS, if those Templars or Academy staff give you trouble, give me a call.

>Henry Hargraves<

Neo smiled.

Henry was the same as ever.

"We are here," Elijah spoke.

Neo stepped out of the car first.

The noises of hundreds of cameras clicking surprised him.

The entrance of the academy was filled with cameramen and reporters blocking their path. _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

"Neo Hargraves, we would like to know…"

"Divine Ruler, our news channel…"

The flashes of cameras almost made Neo think he was standing in front of a blinding headlight.

The reporters tried to rush up to Neo.

"No interviews. Neo Hargraves has to stand in a hearing. He can't waste his time here," Elijah's words were polite yet sharp.

The reporters hesitated.

They looked at each other and opened a path to the Academy.

Neo, escorted by Elijah and Shana, entered the Academy premises.
