Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 195

While waiting for the auction to start, Neo's mind wandered.

'The Senate wants me to spread my bloodline.'

'On the other hand, Zeus Clan wants to kill me.'

'Is it safe to say Zeus Clan is moving alone, or are they trying to use a smokescreen to hide their true intentions?'

Whatever it was, Neo had no intention of marrying or having a kid.

It was clear Zeus Clan bore ill intentions against his bloodline.

They would go after his wife or child, too.

It was an unnecessary burden for Neo.

"Welcome to the Hargraves Auction, dear guests!"

Neo looked down over the auction hall from the VVIP room on the second floor when he heard the auctioneer.

Wealthy patrons wearing tailored attire sat in rows of velvet seats.

Their eyes gleamed.

Their faces revealed the anticipation they had for the auction as they murmured among themselves.

The air was thick with expectation, and the soft rustling of fabric filled the silence between their hushed conversations.

The golden chandeliers above cast a warm glow over the room, highlighting the gleaming jewelry and intricate designs of the attendees' clothing.

The auction started.

Weapons, ores, spell books, incantations, mythical beasts.

Highest quality of exotic items were put on the auction.

Neo watched the proceedings.

At last, the host on the stage announced the final item of the auction.

"Dear guests, it's time to reveal the item all of you have been eagerly waiting for!

"The True Soul Weapon Series!"

The audience clapped.

Neo stared at the stage silently.

A warhammer.

A bullet.

A longsword.

Three weapons were displayed on the stage.

"Please note, the Auction House does not take responsibility if the True Soul Weapon refuses to form a bond with you."

The auctioneer began to explain the information about True Soul Weapons.

"Finally, the True Soul Weapons change their shapes depending on their user's preference. So please don't worry if you aren't a swordsman, but a spearman!"

The audience chuckled.

Neo placed his hand on the Obitus hilt as he stared at the True Soul Weapons.

"The Weapons of Apocalypse," he muttered.

God Slayer Weapons all belonged to one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Obitus originally was supposed to be owned by the Apocalypse of Death.

The other three weapons belonged to Apocalypse of War, Apocalypse of Famine, and Apocalypse of Conquest.

"I didn't stop the auction," Neo muttered. "Was this the right thing to do?"

The Apocalypse, while dangerous, were not villains. Not exactly, at least.

They were something like a ragtag bunch of overpowered vigilante demigods.

Still, there was a reason why they were called Apocalypse.

Neo watched the auction carefully.

"Did the Apocalypse of Death come?"

Neo didn't know the identity of Apocalypse of Death, unlike the other three.

His plan was to use the auction as a way to find his true identity.

"First, we will be auctioning the Warhammer! The bids will start at 500 million!"

"1 billion!"

"1.5 billion!"

"3 billion!"

"10 billion!"

The audience became quiet.

They stared at the VVIP room where the owner of the 10 billion bid sat.

"Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?" the host asked. "10 billion, once! 10 billion, twice! 10…"

"15 billion!"

"17 billion!"
