Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

"Hi, everyone!" Julius waved his hands in the air as he stepped forward. With a bright smile on his face, he went closer to Hugo, who was standing in the middle.

"Happy Birthday to you, Hugo. Thank you for inviting me here to your birthday party as well. It means a lot to me." He said out loud.

Hugo's brows shot up at the way Julius acted. He smiled back and nodded. "Thank you for coming as well, Sir," he responded as his eyes took a quick glance at the side.

'So, this is his plan, huh?' He murmured when he saw how the reporters immediately reacted. They were writing down something on their phones and laptops. Some were videoing on the side, making sure that Hugo was in a good image.

"As a birthday present, I have a few boxes of BOS Vitamins with me! I know that it is not released yet in the market, but this is already approved by our country. You can see the stamp on the side." Julius happily announced.

His men, dressed in black, came inside one by one. They were carrying a few boxes of vitamins in their hands. They placed it on the side after opening it up. It revealed multiple glass jars with the said vitamins inside of it.

"All of you can take one each!" He informed that made everyone shout in excitement.

He personally took out his wallet and took out a few dollar bills inside it. "Since I heard that this is your first time celebrating your birthday party, then I wanted to treat your family to something."

Hugo watched how Julius gave him a $1000 bill. He pretended to be surprised. "Oh no, Sir! This is too much," he exclaimed, trying to give him back the money.

'You have pocketed a lot of money and this is all you're going to me?' he silently scoffed.

Julius shook his head. "You deserve this, young man. I have heard that you are the number 1 student in Lunaria Academia. Such honor and talent shouldn't be wasted!"

One of the cameramen went to the middle. "May I have a picture of you two, Sir?" he carefully asked Hugo.

Hugo looked at Julius, who was already ready to pose on his side. He couldn't help to muffle a laugh when he saw how his eyes got teary.

"Sure!" He agreed to it.

Julius and Hugo posed for each other.

"At a count of 3, we will take the picture." the cameramen informed them.

"1…"

"2…"

'Stop."

Hugo's smile became wider. He removed Julius' shoulders on him and bluntly stared at him.

"Your actions aren't believable. Do you want me to help you?"

A loud laugh came out of his lips. But that wasn't really the purpose of why did he stop the time.

Hugo grabbed the bottle of vitamins on the side. He knew that it was already opened since there were missing pieces inside. He opened the bottle and took some of it.

He carefully his it in his pockets.

'Since, you wanted for people to try your vitamins. Then why don't you try it too? Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't even have a taste of it?" Hugo pitifully tilted his head to the side.

When he was done, he placed Julius' shoulders on him again and smiled widely. He turned everything back to normal.

"3…"

"Thank you for cooperating, Sir."

Hugo nodded. "You can already eat, Sir. The food is on the side," he uttered, which made the people happy.

He looked to the side and saw that his parents were already serving food to the people. A few of his relatives were here to help, but since they could only afford a little, not all weren't fortunate enough to be here.

"You can all take one bottle, everyone!" Julius declared, which made people line up to the side.

When he saw that everyone seemed to be busy, Hugo went to the small house on the side where they kept the drinks.

He open done bottle of wine and poured some into the glass. He took out a piece of the vitamins and opened them in half. It released a white powder which he then mixed on the glass.

'Of course, how can I forget your right hand?' Hugo smirked as he take another glass and do the same thing.

He went out of the house with a tray in his hands. He directly went over to Julius's table and bowed to the man.

"Sir, have this. I know that you have come such a long way just to attend my celebration," he uttered as he placed one of the glasses on the table.

"And of course, for you too, Sir." he smiled and gave Rome the other glass.

"Just call me, Sir, if you want to have anything else." he bid his goodbye.

Julius grinned as he accepted the wine on his table. He looked at Rome who was already sipping on his glass.

"The wine is good!" Rome complimented. "For such a family, I'm surprised that they know any good wine." he laughed in a mocking way.

Julius chuckled as he took a sip as well. "Well, they have been saving up for 18 years. A wine like this should be their priority, or else why did they even make this party?"

"I'm surprised you gave him $1000 dollars?" Rome mockingly said.

Rolling his eyes, Julius glared at Rome. "That's less than the money that I will get once my image bloomed like a flower once again." he confidently leaned on the chair.

"Julius Achre once again showcased his empathy for the poor."

The two of them laughed. They were busy sipping on their wine that they didn't see Hugo, who kept staring at them from the side.

"Let us see. Until when will you last Julius?" Hugo flashed a satisfying smile on his face. "Just wait and see. Your downfall is already staring into my eyes."
