Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Everything happened so fast for Hugo. They were dismissed a few minutes after the president and the head of ELO arrived.

He was sure that what the President asked their headmaster angered him. It was evident in his face when he announced that they can already go home.

'I need to know what is Julius up to," he determinedly uttered to himself. He took out a black fabric and wrapped it around his face.

A loud sigh escaped from his lips. He closed his eyes and teleported to the man's bathroom inside of their school.

Looking around, he had to make sure that there were no students around the area. He didn't know where to go since he didn't have any idea about where were they currently staying.

'Should I go to the auditorium?'

He closed his eyes once again and teleported right inside the backstage of the Auditorium. It was the only place that he could think of since there were a lot of people. He secretly went towards the stair on the side that was connected to the underneath of the stage.

It was a secret feature that the school had made where you could see the audience, but no one would be able to see you. This was their way of monitoring the people if ever.

"YOU! Why are yo–"

Hugo was surprised by the sudden voice behind his back. Because of that, he defensively punched the man in the face, which made him fall to the floor, unconscious.

His heart leaped about what happened. Hugo looked around to see if anyone has seen what he did. When there was none, he pulled the man and placed him towards the door to block it, so he would know if there will be someone.

Since it was pretty dark and his face was covered, he didn't get scared to be known by the man.

Just like what his gut was telling him, Headmaster Leon, Noah, Julius, and the other staff of ELO were inside the Auditorium stage. They looked so serious, as if discussing an important matter.

Hugo shut his mouth and listened to their conversation. However, it seems like they were already halfway through with it.

"So, how's our proposal?" Noah grinned widely as he looked at Leon. He confidently took a seat, with Julius following him on the side.

Leon shook his head. "Wouldn't this risk the students?"

"Of course not. That's why we are offering only a week's worth of vitamins to the students. The cafeteria can give this to them every lunchtime. I'm sure they wouldn't suspect a thing if you said that it's just a normal vitamin."

"But…"

Damien stood up interrupting their words. "The vitamins were already approved by the government." he paused for a while before continuing. "Noah had told me about a certain someone that they saw who has shown signs of power. It was the one who intruded in Julius's house."

He announced that made Leon shocked. "P-Powers?" his voice trembled. "Is that even possible?"

Damien chuckled. "We do not know. But imagine if we take possession of that person! We can do everything. We can take this opportunity to create more. To build an army that people had never imagined before!"

But Leon wasn't fazed by it. He merely looked at them.

"No. I won't still allow it. I value my students over your vision. I won't let them take something that was not even offered in the market." Leon stood by his principles. He wouldn't get attempted by an offer like that.

Although the vitamins that they said were already approved, he wouldn't take the risk. He knew that Damien was backing up ELO. Getting permits and such was easier with his command.

He had been the head of this school for 20 years already. All of his hard work and efforts were made possible because he loves what he was doing.

However, Damien doesn't look like he was happy about Leon's decision. "Are you thinking well, Leon? This is your time to showcase your students! If we created people with that same power, then you will be feared!"

"So what Damien? My students can do that without joining your fucking experiment. My students are not toys. They are my people." Leon furiously fought back. He stood up and walked away.

"I will not listen to anything regarding this topic anymore. Leave my school and don't enter ever again."

A slight smile appeared on Hugo's lips after witnessing that scene. 'It seems like Headmaster Leon truly values us.'

Leon left the Auditorium. Noah and Julius, who were sitting on the side looked annoyed for foursome reason. It was Damien's expression that looked very angry,

He clenched his jaw and looked at Noah.

"You useless fool! Why didn't you persuade him more?" He burst out.

Noah bowed down. Julius raised his hand when he thought of something. "I have an idea."

"What is it?" Damien asked curiously. He straightened his back and showed interest in whatever Julius will be saying.

"How about we pay the head of the cafeteria? He can secretly put the vitamins in the students' drink and mix it in." The corners of his lips rose up. "We just need to pay him a good sum of money."

Damien clapped his hands. "You have a brilliant friend there, Noah." He blurted out in joy. He looked over at his side and called out his assistant.

"Prepare $500,000 and give it to him." His eyes darted at Julius before continuing. "You take care of it. I'm expecting a lot from you."

"Yes, Mr. President." The assistant bowed his head before leaving.

Damien smiled loudly. He patted both Noah and Julius's back as his smile became wider. "I will take my leave now. There's a lot to do in the Golden House. Let's have tea there sometime." He bid goodbye.

"I didn't know they were this wicked."

Hugo's eyes widened when he heard a woman's voice at his side. He was surprised to see Abigail sitting behind him. He must be too focused to not notice her.

"What are you doing here?"
