Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 373

It suddenly didn’t feel amusing anymore.

Henry’s expression darkened.

He leaned forward and pressed a small switch embedded in the corner of his desk.

A soft beep signaled the connection to Sebastian, his butler.

"Prepare a car," Henry ordered.

"As you wish, master," Sebastian replied promptly over the intercom.

Henry turned off the switch and closed his laptop.

"Let’s go," he said, rising from his chair.

"Go where?"

"To solve this stupid misunderstanding," Henry replied as he grabbed his coat from the back of his chair.

"Misunderstanding…?"

"Yeah," Henry began as they made their way out of the office. "That guy—Dad started to train seriously after the Labyrinth incident. He got a personal coach."

Neo’s brows furrowed as he followed Henry down the grand staircase.

Henry continued,

"The woman who came to his house was his trainer.

"Dad was seriously injured in training a few days ago.

"He didn’t notice the injury until he returned home and couldn’t go for the training the next day.

"The trainer came to his house to help him. She has a healing ability," Henry explained.

Neo glanced at Henry, still trying to process the information.

"Why did he hide all of this?" Neo asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.

"Mira—" Henry stumbled over his words.

He quickly corrected himself.

"Mom made Dad promise that they would stop monster hunting."

"What?" Neo frowned, stopping momentarily on the staircase.

Henry turned back briefly.

"The Labyrinth incident gave her mild trauma. She’s been trying to stay away from anything related to mystical quantities."

As they reached the foyer, Henry explained,

"I read the report from Mira’s doctor.

"The Minotaur’s attack that almost killed you, your effortless fight back, the hundreds of monsters pouring out of the Window, the demigods being helpless against the monsters, and then you again fighting back effortlessly…

"Everything made her think that unless they’re strong, their lives will always be in danger. That’s why she tried to stop dad fromm going anywhere near monsters."

It was a normal response, Neo thought.

"Dad was also shaken by the incident. That’s why he is training, even if that means going against Mom’s wishes," Henry said.

"He must be feeling powerless after the Labyrinth incident," Neo replied with a sigh.

He remembered seeing demigods that day who had pale faces and were frozen in fear.

George—Hades’ reincarnation—had not been like them.

He had been prepared to fight back.

But in the end, he was too weak to defeat anything.

If Neo had not stepped in and taken care of the monsters himself, leaving the job to the Templars who would arrive later, George and Mira would’ve been dead.

"You are right. Dad wants to do everything he can to make sure he doesn’t feel powerless again. He’s doing it to protect Mom," Henry said.

They climbed into the car.

The faint scent of new upholstery mixed with the lingering aroma of Henry’s cologne.

Neo buckled his seatbelt as the car began to move.

"How do you know all of this?" Neo asked, glancing at Henry.

"I did my research when you told me to keep an eye on them," Henry replied in a voice tinged with irritation.

"It was only 30 minutes ago."

"Shut up, bitch. I’m already pissed. Don’t annoy me more."

Henry, clearly trying to distract himself, seemed lost in thought.

He muttered something under his breath as his fingers drummed against the car door.
