Supreme Master In The Apocalypse-Chapter 138 Pearls
The nurse's shout had caused attention.
Hugo grinned as he saw how the nurses and a few doctors attended to Hendrix's well-being. They rushed him to the emergency room, not letting Hugo inside.
Hugo acted as if he was nervous about his wife. 'Damn, this is disgusting, but I gotta do it.' He couldn't help but think as he glanced repeatedly at the room where Hendrix was taken care of.
Waiting for a few minutes turned into an hour and Hugo was becoming impatient as he looked at the time on his watch. He couldn't count how many times he glanced over at the door and his watch.
'Are you still going to take long?' His brows furrowed as he tried to communicate with Hendrix using his mind.
It was already 9 in the morning. He needed to prepare for his date later and yet Hendrix was taking too much time!
He could have just stopped the time and rescued those people just like what he initially planned in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that Hendrix can't harm the mortals, then he wouldn't think twice and do that.
'Just wait for a few minutes… I got the keys to the door. I have heard from the doctors that were far away that the door was indestructible. It would take us a lot of effort to destroy one, so this is the easiest way.' Hendrix answered Hugo.
Just like what both of them were doing right now, Hendrix has the power to hear sounds even if it was miles away.
"Alright, just finish that thing so that we can go already," Hugo answered. He looked around and saw that there were cameras guarding each corner of the hospital,
He grinned. 'You know what? I went there already. You have the power to teleport, so just go there after you are done. I will scout any guard on the floor.'
Hugo didn't wait for Hendrix to answer. He pretended to go to the nurse, asking her about the state of his wife and why was it taking so long.
"Why is it taking so long? My wife is inside, you should have let me come inside too!" He angrily shouted. It doesn't matter if he was acting strange since his looks had greatly changed. Even his mother or Hailey wouldn't be able to distinguish who he was in this form.
"Sir… please calm down. Your wife said that she does not want you to go inside. The doctors are doing their best to make sure that the baby and the wife are safe. You do not have to worry." The nurse who assisted them earlier tried to calm Hugo down. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m
However, Hugo was persistent with what he wanted.
'This is the only thing I can do to get kicked out, so I needed to level up my acting,' he tilted his head to the side.
He went closer to the nurse with his glaring eyes. He was waiting for guards to appear so that it wouldn't be too obvious if he suddenly vanished.
Wouldn't it be weird if they found out that the husband of the 'woman' inside the emergency room vanished into thin air?
Hugo's plan became successful. Guards that saw what he was doing immediately stopped him. They dragged him out of the hospital and told him that he had to stay outside and will just be called once his wife was fine already.
He just waited until they went inside once again. He looked around to see if there were any CCTV cameras, especially now that he was in Noah and Julius's territory.
He couldn't help but notice that there were a few media waiting outside.
'I'll just ask them for more information later, now I needed to teleport towards the floor where I have seen them.' Hugo whispered to himself as he step out to the side. He went towards the back of the hospital before he closed his eyes to teleport.
Hugo's eyes were immediately greeted by darkness. Nothing had changed and everything still looked like a mess. Hugo went to reach for the pocket of his pants. In there, he felt the fabric containing the pearls that Thalia had given him.
'This only contained 3 so I gotta make sure that they wouldn't waste it.' clenching his feet, Hugo tried to look around to see if there were people guarding the area. It was fortunate that he was wearing a black outfit, although his hair became white.
'This is all Hendrix's fault!" Hugo exclaimed silently.
He became wary of his surroundings after taking a few steps. He couldn't see or hear anything that had made him suspicious.
The only thing that he was sure of was that the people were still in their respective cells as he took a quick glance at the end of the hallway. In there, he could see that the doors were locked by big chains and massive locks.
The lights were flickering, and the hallway became messier than the last time he have gone here.
It was as if this hadn't been cleaned since the last time.
Hugo could smell the dust on the floor. Spider webs were everywhere. They were on the sides of the walls and on the ceiling. He noticed a few mice and cockroaches too, that were running away as they noticed a presence.
'How come those doctors do not even ask someone to clean this location?" He unbelievably uttered.
He was about to take another step when he felt a pair of hands on his shoulder. With widened eyes, Hugo immediately turned his body around. His fist was ready for whoever that person who touched him.
"Hi Husband," Hendrix smiled widely as he caught Hugo's fist.
"What are you doing here?" Hugo's forehead creased as he looked at Hendrix's state. There were a few bloodstains on his hospital gown. Beads of sweat were still running down his face.
"Stop the time now," Hendrix uttered, not even minding answering Hugo's question.
Hugo immediately stopped the time, just like what Hendrix had requested.
"Here is the key." Hendrix's expression had abruptly changed as he opened up his palms. He looked at Hugo straight in the eyes and said, "I am only here to help. I cannot disturb the mortal's matters, so you gotta save them alone."
Hugo nodded his head. "I understand."
Taking the key out of Hendrix's hands, Hugo unlocked the door in ease. He was horrified by what he saw. He almost wanted to puke out of pure disgust.
The rooms of the imprisoned were nowhere near decent. There was no light inside. There was just a candle on the side. The room was super cold without a window. That means the people who have been staying here inside haven't had clean air for months already.
Hugo couldn't help but pity those people. Bruises were evident in their body. Their hair was thick and frizzy as if they hadn't had a shower. There was a dextrose on the side that looks like it was there so that they could continue living.
"This is horror!" He couldn't help but mutter.
Hendrix who have heard Hugo's reaction couldn't help but follow him inside. When he got there his reaction was worst than Hugo.
The thirst of blood… the feeling of killing those mortals who have done this to the victims grew like veins in his heart.
He have been to a lot of war but this state right now couldn't be compared to those he have seen. All the people inside looked lifeless.
The women in the last room was much more worse. There were bandages in her body everywhere.
"How I wish that I could kill those who were behind all of this." He whispered in the air. His jaw clenched but he couldn't do anything since each place has a law.
"Let's help them immediately!" Hugo anxiously said.
He took out the pearls in his hands and gave the other one to Hendrix. "I will take care of this, while you take care of her."
Hendrix side as he shrugged his shoulder, following what Hendrix had uttered so that they can end his matter quicker.
Hugo was expecting that if he touched the body of the victim then it would be super cold knowing the fact that the place had a low temperature. However, he was wrong.
Their body's temperature was high and hot as if they have gotten a very bad fever.
Hugo made the person he was holding sit, he placed the pearl in his hands and with help of the water that he found on the side, the person was able to swallow the pearl.
A bright light appeared on the person's body. Hugo was bewildered when the person opened up his eyes. Everything changed back to normal, even the time, as the white light disappeared.
Unknown to them, the luminous pearl, when used, can purify all things. That's how the time turned back even if Hugo didn't say anything.
Hendrix's eyes widened as he got away with the persons body, He could feel people starting to run towards their direction. Their footsteps were echoing at the hallway.
"HENDRIX WE NEED TO HURRY!"
