Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 338

Neo, on the other hand, looked like a caveman, thanks to his wild long hair, disheveled and tangled like a lion’s mane.

"Why the academy?" Neo asked as the cab drove towards the towering gates of Demigod Academy.

"The order was to escort you safely to the principal," Dorothy replied, her gaze fixed out the window.

Neo closed his eyes after hearing the answer.

He made it clear he had no intention to talk.

’System,’ he called out mentally.

[Status Screen cannot be opened during update.]

[Time remaining: Indefinite.]

His lips twitched.

This thing was still updating after two millennia!

He wanted to grab the system’s creator by the collar and demand a software update.

Thankfully, a screen would pop up when he used his Primogenitor skill, allowing him to use the skill without any problem.

’Dammit, thinking about Primogenitor made my mood worse.’

The cab dropped them off at the academy’s grand entrance.

The large iron gates stood tall, flanked by marble statues of legendary figures.

Neo noticed a crowd gathered at the gates, murmuring among themselves.

"Why are so many people here?" Neo spoke to Dorothy, but someone from the crowd answered him instead.

"We are waiting for Neo Hargraves!"

"Huh?"

Neo blinked, perplexed.

"tsk, tsk, dude, why are you looking dumbfounded? Do you not know who he is?

"It’s everywhere in the news that Neo Hargraves had entered Shadow World a few days ago!

"And today, a Wanderer returned from the Shadow World, in the same country where Neo Hargraves and Jack Hanma entered!

"It has to be them!" the guy answered with excitement. "Everyone here is waiting to see what kind of reward they received from the Shadow Trial!"

Neo blinked again, still confused.

"You guys know about the Shadow Trial?"

"Yup, but between you and me, unlike everyone here who found out about Shadow Trials today from the news, I knew since long ago."

The man laughed.

"Anyway, why are you asking these questions?

"If you are here, you must be hoping to meet Neo Hargraves or Jack Hanma too."

"…"

When Neo didn’t answer, the man shrugged and returned back into the group of onlookers. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

The crowd murmured amongst themselves excitedly.

Neo turned around and looked at Jack and Dorothy, pointing at himself.

"Do I look that different? My face has two tiny scars and my hair is long, otherwise I look the same, no?"

"Pffft!"

Jack looked away, trying to control his laughter.

His shoulders shook uncontrollably.

Neo’s brows creased.

"Why the fuck are you laughing? They didn’t recognize your Alabama ass either."

Jack looked at Neo with a ’seriously, dude?’ gaze.

Having experienced the Age of Gods, he understood the reference all too well.

Neo and Jack were able to speak more casually now, as Jack was starting to recover.

The pale exhaustion had faded slightly from his face.

Though he felt the ache of Emma’s lost memories, he was grateful she was alive.

A significant part of his mental recovery stemmed from being a ’sane’ Darkness user.

Darkness users were either crazy or possessed insanely high mental strength.

Jack was the latter.
