Supreme Master In The Apocalypse-Chapter 122 Julius’ Downfall
Hugo's family entered the venue after. He couldn't help but get worried about Abigail, but he knew that she could do it.
He has deep faith in her capabilities.
"Thank you for coming, Verda, Hitano." Julius greeted them with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for inviting us too, Sir Julius." Verda shyly answered as she shakes hands with Julius.
"I hope you and your family will enjoy the rest of the night." Julius smiled sweetly at them.
Hugo secretly scoffed when he saw how happy Julius was now that the funeral had ended.
It was enough for Verda's heart to feel warm. She nodded as Julius walked away from them. She glanced over at Hugo, who was looking at her.
"I told you that they are not bad guys! If they were, then Sir Julius wouldn't have offered you a job." Verda sighed. "Anyway, let's just go to our seats. We're already lucky enough to attend this kind of event."
Hugo silently followed his parents. Hitano was carrying Hailey in his arms, in fear that she might get lost.
It was true that they were lucky enough to attend this event. As far as he knew, they were the only one here who was different and incapable here in terms of money and status in life.
When Hugo saw the stage, he saw that the right video in the background was playing. He sighed in relief. 'It seems like Abigail had control over it now,' he thought.
'I didn't even think about that.' He tilted his head to the side. His focus was only on playing the video on the USB that he gave to Abigail.
He forgot that there will be a designated video solely for the program.
The good thing was, Abigail was already used to these kinds of events, so she knew exactly what to do.
The event quickly started after everyone has gotten their seat. The light inside turned dim, creating a very nice and cozy atmosphere.
'What an irony,' He thought as he took a sip of his glass.
The event started off, by showing Rome's achievements in life. The guests who were close to him shared their speech regarding the sudden passing of their dear friend.
"Are you alright, Brother?" Hailey looked at her brother. She tilted her head when she saw the dark expression on Hugo's face.
Hugo nodded. "Of course," he responded. He took a deep breath and tried to make the atmosphere lighter.
"Now, we will listen to someone who was very close to Rome. He is no other than Sir. Julius Achre!"
The man in the middle, who was the emcee, announced.
Everyone clapped their hands before a quick moment of silence suddenly arouse to let Julius speak clearly.
Julius suddenly looked as if he was about to cry on the stage.
'Wow! Look at how fast his emotions changed!' He amusingly exclaimed.
He looked at the side corner and saw that all the media outlets, photographers, and reporters were so focused on the stage.
"I'm glad that you all came here today…" Hugo started off as he grabbed the mic from its stand. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
'I met Rome when he was still a teenager. My heart felt broken as I remember his state back then. He was so thin, and his clothes were dirty. I feed him and took him to our house for free. I gave him an education and supported him with his dreams that this moment still felt like a nightmare to me."
Hugo sobbed lightly. He wiped the tears from his face using a handkerchief before continuing.
"I supported him when he said that he would want to work under me. You all knew that he was my secretary first before he became the greatest scientist in today's generation."
Sadness was evident in Julius's voice as he kept saying those words.
. Hugo was looking in the middle as if something funny was being said.
'I gotta be patient.' His fist clenched under the table.
He looked at one of the cameras and signaled Abigail to wait until the speech was done. His eyes glanced over to the side and saw that everyone seems so interested in what Julius has been saying.
That's when he was sure that whatever happened today would surely be broadcasted on the news and would be a talk of the whole nation for weeks.
Even Damien wouldn't be able to do anything since his name was on the video as well.
Hugo wasn't sure what to do, but he didn't include the part of Headmaster Leon talking about his friendship with the three of them.
'I guess that was because he was good to us and he was different from them.'
"Rome was like my own child.' Julius continued to cry that everyone felt pity at him.
"My own child?" Hugo wouldn't help but laugh at what he heard.
"Hugo, your manners." Verda glared at Hugo when she saw that he wasn't carefully listening well to Julius's speech.
"I just hope that wherever you are, Rome. You will be able to feel in peace." Julius smiled widely. "I know that you will be in heaven, especially since we witnessed how good you are to other people."
'This is where the fun starts,' Hugo muttered as Julius's speech came to an end.
"Thank you for your speech, Mr. Julius Achre. It was very heartwarming for us." The emcee commended.
"Now for the second part of the event. We prepared a video containing all the happy memories of Rome that we gathered. We all hope that you will enjoy it" 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
The emcee stepped to the side so that everyone will be able to see the screen in the middle. Hugo looked at one of the cameras inside the venue. He slowly nodded his head.
''3… 2… 1….' He slowly counted down.
A satisfied smile rose up to his lips when he saw that Abigail saw his sign.
The video that he created slowly played on the screen.
Julius who has been smiling as he went down the stage, was confused when he saw that the video being played is different to what he had prepared.
"What is happening?" He asked the person in charge of the venue on the side.
"I don't know, Sir." The person answered. He was confused on what was happening too.
"Then figure it out!" Hugo secretly glared at him when he saw that the media on the side was focused on his direction.
He shouldn't act carelessly here.
Julius stood up. He ran towards the side and grabbed the microphone before the video could even get to the main point.
"That's not the—"
But before Julius could even finish his words, the video started to have a sound. It was in a robotic voice and no one was able to decipher who it was.
Julius's eyes widened when he saw all the familiar pictures that were being shown in the video. His knees turned into jelly. His hands went to a chair, trying to support himself.
"STOP THE VIDEO NOW!" He shouted out loud to the mic.
His staff quickly came running towards the outside to stop the person who handles the video.
When Hugo saw it, he quickly stopped the time to grab Abigail before teleporting her back to where they were. He knew that it would be impossible to explain it to his mother or Abigail but he had to do it or else she will be in great danger.
Before Hugo could teleport, he carefully removed all the fingerprint marks on the mouse. He pulled out the USB drive when he saw that the file was already transferred to the computer.
He deleted all the scenes where he was signaling in front of the camera.
Hugo turned everything back to normal after they were done. "Just act as if you just got here," Hugo informed Abigail before she could even speak. "I will answer all your questions later." He looked at her straight in the eyes.
"Alright," Abigail breathlessly answered.
They walked towards Hugo's table as if they just got there. No one noticed them since they were all focused on the video that was being presented on the screen.
The sides of his lips rose to the side, stretching until they reached his ears.
'They wouldn't be able to stop that video in an instant,' He uttered since he locked the door so they would need the keys beforehand.
And the only person who has access to the key was the man whom he locked up from the storage earlier. So they would need to find him first before they could stop what was being played right now.
Everyone fell into silence as they watched the video. It was a long ass video containing all the illegal things that Julius had done for the past years.
Julius was in a desperate position when he saw that the video kept on playing. He went closer to the emcee, grabbing the man by his collar.
"MAKE THAT THING STOP! YOU INCOMPETENT PIECE OF SHIT! " He shouted furiously that everyone was able to hear it.
