Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 339

Neo felt a powerful Intent crash into him as soon as the door opened.

The hair on his back stood, and his heart started to beat loudly.

The spacious office was brightly lit.

Charlotte, sitting behind the desk, smiled faintly.

She was not releasing her aura.

It was her Intent.

Like everyone else, she did not have good control over her Intent, and it allowed Neo to sense the true depth of her strength.

He felt as if he were standing in front of a sun.

Its scorching presence was pressing against his very soul.

’So this is what an Exalted Demigod feels like.’

Neo’s feet refused to move.

Jack, unable to sense her Intent, took a step into the room and turned around.

"You coming?"

"Yeah."

Neo shook off the powerful Intent holding him in place.

He entered the room.

"Welcome back, Neo, Jack."

Charlotte’s voice was calm but commanding, resonating through the quiet space.

She looked at them.

"Come sit, have some tea."

The duo nodded and followed her words, sitting on the plush chairs opposite her.

The scent of aged paper and herbs filled the room.

Two dolls appeared silently and began to prepare tea.

Jack’s eyes were on them.

His brow furrowed.

The dolls, or puppets depending on what someone called them, looked familiar.

"Did you see something you recognize?" Charlotte, the principal of Demigod Academy, asked.

"The dolls are similar to the Gatekeepers of Shadow World," Jack answered.

"Is that so?"

Charlotte smiled.

She didn’t give any explanation for the similarity in the appearances of the dolls and the Gatekeepers.

The dolls served the tea.

Neo and Jack drank it.

As the tea entered their system, their minds became calm, and their recovery systems were boosted.

A soothing warmth spread through their bodies, easing tension and fatigue.

"It’s a herbal tea, good for recovery, rejuvenation, and healing. We got it from Teshima last week," Charlotte said, her gaze focused on Neo.

Jack nodded absentmindedly, not knowing about Teshima.

Neo, however, seemed surprised as he set down his cup.

"Teshima? I thought it was still within the Blood Sea’s territory."

"Yes, it was. But the Templars of Water and Poseidon Clan recovered it a few days ago.

"In fact, the news came out while you were inside the Shadow World."

Neo froze. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

Charlotte smiled, noticing his expression.

"It is a surprise, I must say. How do you know about Teshima?

"It was named yesterday, after the island was reclaimed from Blood Sea."

’Wow, fuck.’

He had thought Charlotte would ask him about the Shadow Trail.

Instead, she was trying to see how much he knew about the future.

’Seems like what I said to her stuck in her mind.’

After Elizabeth was injured by the Temple of Void, Neo had revealed to Charlotte he knew about the inevitable destruction of the world that should’ve occurred 300 years ago.

"I saw the news while we were on the way to the academy," Neo said, attempting to sound casual.

"Is that so?"

Charlotte smiled.

She didn’t pursue the topic further.

The three drank the tea in silence.
