Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 568

The subsequent months passed without much change.

Arthur, Felix, Jack, Morrigan, Mars, Sean, Clara, and Nathan passed second year and graduated.

Mars was the first-ranked student by the end, followed by Arthur and Jack tying for second place.

Morrigan was nowhere within the top ten and Sean, Clara, and Nathan managed to enter the top 50.

The most interesting was Felix.

Until the beginning of second year, she was slowly climbing up the ranks, but in the beginning of second year, Venyth – her True Soul Weapon – evolved, and she was soon competing with Mars for the first rank.

However, during the last examination where they travelled on Blood Sea and went to a monster-infested island, she performed poorly, and received enough negative marks that she could barely stay at rank 100.

After graduation, everyone split up.

Mars entered seclusion to train with his father.

Jack would regularly disappear from the face of the world. Arthur and Felix thought he was leaving the continent to train, but Jack never confirmed the news.

Arthur joined Zeus Clan. He faced prejudice within Zeus God Clan and was labelled as a 'bastard child,'

He was given harsh missions and told to complete them if he wanted to be accepted as a family.

Felix joined the Demigod Academy and became a combat teacher.

Morrigan also joined the Demigod Academy.

She became the principal's disciple, and she received the True Soul Weapon the principal purchased from the Hargraves Corporation.

Nathan worked for his God Clan.

Clara, much to everyone's surprise, opened a coffee shop and decided to settle down.

Her twin brother Sean joined Temple of Space.

Another year went by, and Mira and George died in a car accident.

Henry did not react much and completed their death ceremony. He focused on raising Layla in place of their dead parents.

Amelia returned when she heard the news.

She put her past behind her back and tried to console Henry, but Henry ignored her for the majority of time.

She stayed in the Hargraves Mansion for subsequent months to help Henry raise Layla.

It wasn't only for him, but also because she liked Layla too.

Layla's parents had treated Amelia like their own daughter and she owed them much.

The others repeatedly came to meet Layla and Henry, worried about the siblings.

Only Arthur didn't come. He wanted to meet Henry too, but due to Zeus Clan's repeated missions, he was forced to postpone the meeting.

The incident made him doubt if it was a correct choice to stay in the Zeus Clan.

Henry was busy with his company and he himself didn't have much time to live due to the curse.

Still, he spent all of his time raising Layla. He acted strict in her mother's place, and he spoiled in her father's place. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

He became the father and mother for the little child.

And he wanted to keep doing that.

But the curse would soon kill him. His Death told him so.

With no other choice, Henry asked Amelia to take care of Layla when he was gone.

His words shocked Amelia but he refused to elaborate.

While Henry was waiting for his end, he suddenly found out about the attempts on Layla's life.

Layla would've died if not for Amelia protecting her with her life, and receiving life-threatening injuries in her place.

Henry went on a witch-hunt to find the assassin after the incident.

It was easy to find the culprit.

Sebastian.

The butler who raised Henry and Neo like his own sons.

The Senator who gave up his position after his family – the Hephaestus Clan – was destroyed.

"Why did you try to kill Layla?" Henry asked.

"Why? You should know the answer, master. It was to make you go berserk. You are contracted with Velkaria, the angel of truth—"

"What?" Henry cut off Sebastian. "Angel of Truth?"

"Yes, master. Those from beyond are the harbinger of truth. We, the foolish mortals, need to stop resisting them, and accept their gospel."

Henry was stuned upon learning the truth.

His familial love had turned him blind to the psychopathic nature of Sebastian.

The more he found out the more his heart froze.

Sebastian was one of the leaders of Temple of Void – the organization that supported the Outer Gods coming to their world.

Sebastian was the one who summoned Velkaria.

He knew Velkaria had somehow been injured after her descent, and to preserve her life, she formed a symbiotic relationship with Henry Hargraves.

Henry had been at death's door during the Window incident, and Velkaria threatened she would kill him and Neo, which was why he accepted Velkaria inside his body.

As for Henry's parents' reincarnations, they died while injuring Velkaria fatally – this was the true story that Henry did not tell Neo.

His parents had not been able to protect them. The reason the siblings survived was because Velkaria and Henry formed a contract.

Sebastian wasn't aware of full details, but he could tell Henry now wielded the powers of Velkaria.
