Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 186

[Author's note: Neo wasn't fined 5,000 dollars, but 5,000 million dollars.]

They had lunch.

Neo was about to leave for training when the butler came to him.

"Master Henry is calling for you, young master."

"Got it. I'll be there."

He turned to his friends.

"I'll see you guys in the evening—"

"There is something we have to talk to you about.

"Make sure to come back and don't go somewhere to train while leaving us behind," Jack mentioned.

His gaze was serious.

The rest were the same.

Neo didn't understand what it was about, but he nodded.

He moved through the mansion corridor and stood outside Henry's office doors.

Before he could knock, he heard Henry's voice from the other side.

"Come inside."

He entered the room.

It was lavish and big.

The office, grand and spacious, was adorned with dark mahogany furniture, velvet armchairs, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and a marble fireplace.

Warm, ambient lighting illuminated opulent artwork and a vast, polished desk.

Neo sat on the seat across the table.

Henry stared at him for a few seconds.

"Is there anything you want to say?"

"The academy—"

"Tell me what was in the bag."

Neo's brow furrowed.

'So it came to this.'

He couldn't avoid it anymore.

"The replica of Poseidon's trident."

"Who gave it to you?"

"The late Tyrant Empress."

"The 'late' Tyrant Empress?"

Henry leaned forward, his eyes burning with fury.

"That bitch cares about that weapon more than her life.

"There is no way she would give it to anyone, even on her deathbed."

"How do you know about the weapon? I thought no one knew it existed—"

"Don't try to change the subject, little shit."

"…"

Neo pursed his lips.

"She gave it as a commemorative gift for Amelia and my…"

"Baby?"

"Yes, that thing."

Henry gave Neo an unamused stare.

"Are you going to keep using that excuse?"

"It's not an excuse, though."

"I can call that bitch's daughter and get a medical report."

"I doubt she would listen to you after how you insulted her mother—"

Neo's words got stuck in his throat when Henry took out his phone.

He opened the messaging app and showed it to Neo.

"This…"

Neo looked at the chats between Henry and Amelia.

"You two talk with each other. That's… I thought you hated the Tyrant and her daughter?"

"Look at the messages closely, dumbass."

> Amelia de Beaufort <

Amelia: Brother, Neo started to train like a maniac again after he returned from the window.

Amelia: Brother, I wanted to give Neo a gift…

Amelia: Brother…

> Amelia de Beaufort <

Neo's brows grew tighter when he read the chats.

Amelia was treating Henry like her big brother.

Worse, all her conversation topics revolved around Neo.

Henry wasn't any better.

"She isn't as stubborn as her bitch mother and has a good personality.

"I don't hate people like that."

This time, Neo gave Henry an unamused stare.

Nice personality?

All you two talk about is me!
