Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 243

Emma read the message.

Her eyes became cold.

She returned the device to her pocket and followed into the meeting hall with Neo and Jack.

She sat next to Neo and Jack. The two were going through the documents placed on the table.

Just then, Ares' device rang.

It was the emergency ringtone, but the Titans, Neo, and Jack didn't know the signal's importance.

"Gentlemen, please excuse me," Ares said and took out his device.

He read the message and looked at Neo and Jack before shifting his gaze to Emma.

The message behind his eyes was clear.

'Don't create a commotion before the Titans. We can't show weakness in front of them.'

Emma nodded imperceptibly.

She introduced Jack and Neo.

"These are Neo Hargraves and Jack Hanma.

"As you all know, Neo defeated anomaly #33 eight months ago, and Jack is the Necromancer who…."

Ignoring her introduction, Neo scanned the meeting hall.

Fifteen chairs were placed around a large circular table.

Ares, the chairman of the Awakener Association, and two more members of the Association sat on one side.

On the other side, holograms of four Titans were present.

The first Titan had brown hair and green eyes.

He had an amicable smile while his head was covered in bandages.

As the meeting continued, he introduced himself as Perses, the Titan of Destruction.

The second Titan was someone whom Neo was familiar with.

"I'm Francis," the Titan introduced himself. "You might know me as Kronos, the Titan of Time."

Francis smiled and patted the empty seat next to him.

"As for this empty seat, Atlas was supposed to sit here, but as you can see, I have no idea where he is."

Francis chuckled.

He navigated the conversations with ease and kept the atmosphere friendly.

Neo smiled.

'This bastard has always been good at talking.'

The meeting continued.

The first topic was about Jack.

Jack had committed irreversible atrocities in Spain.

It was obvious he would be punished.

However…

"Since we can't decide how to punish Jack Hanma, let's discuss this issue on a later date," Ares said after a lengthy discussion.

Neo and Jack weren't surprised by the outcome.

'It's obvious why they aren't punishing Jack.'

'They need as many powerful Awakeners as possible to fight Typhaon when he wakes up.'

Interrupting Neo's thoughts, Ares continued.

"Now, onto the reason for this Council, we need to discuss whether we should rescue the Child of Mana or not."

Another lengthy discussion took place.

Ares would've loved to not reveal the Child of Mana's location to Neo, not after reading Apollo's message of Neo's possible betrayal.

Unfortunately, the information was written in the documents placed on the table.

And Neo and Jack had read them before Emma and Ares read Apollo's message.

'They are just using complicated reasons to say why they shouldn't rescue the Child of Mana.'

Neo continued to read the documents while listening to everyone.

'So they found the location of the Child of Mana – Sphinx – through her brother who….'

Neo froze.

'Daniel Caelum?'

'Instead of being sidetracked, I should focus on the task at hand.' _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
