Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

In order to find out what happened yesterday, Hugo came back to Crimsom Winterville by himself.

After the announcement earlier, the school council dismissed all the students so they could rest.

Those who weren't part of the Top 500 went home, miserable, while does who did, celebrated their joy.

Hugo, however, was in a cab all by himself. Abigail had invited him to eat outside, but he refused and just moved the plan to tomorrow. This is more important in the meantime.

He left streets away from the location so it wouldn't be suspicious. He heard that the security around the area has gotten tighter than before.

Hugo had seen the tabloids and news articles on his phone. Total worth of $100,000 has been offered to anyone who will point out the culprit to them.

'It seems like Julius Achre was desperate enough to find out who did this to him.' He wanted to have this opportunity to get that money.

'How frustrating it must be for Julius.' he chuckled.

Shrugging his shoulders, Hugo grinned widely as he saw that the gate of Julius's mansion was wide open.

There were a few police on the side, guarding the area.

Because of what happened, those who survived yesterday were still in the hospital, recovering.

Julius had lost almost a million dollars from what happened. He had to pay for the burial fees and the hospital fees of all the bodyguards that were affected.

"Time to stop the time,' Hugo hummed as he walked inside the mansion with ease.

He grinned widely as he saw that they were installing a new lock on Julius's door.

'It's a pity that they haven't installed this yet." He shook his head as he went inside.

Hugo saw Julius on the side, looking furious as ever. He was holding a vase in his hands that was raised up in the air, ready to throw it.

Laughing out loud, Hugo lightly slapped Julius's face.

"You deserve that."

Hugo's eyes widened when he saw a pile of cash on the table. His mouth parted ways as he looked at them with surprise.

"It wouldn't be robbery if I took some right? After all, he promised me $600,000. I'm just going to take some of it." Hugo reluctantly reached out for the money.

He took almost $200,000 from the table and placed it in his bag.

'This is enough.'

Hugo didn't take a lot of money as he had nowhere to place it. This much money was already enough for them to live comfortably for 5 years. And even though he wasn't saying it, he does feel guilty about those fallen bodyguards.

But what can he do?

If he didn't do that, then he's the one who will die. It was just a matter of surviving.

'What happened to Fernan, then?'

Hugo's expression turned sour. 'Fernan is a good man… I hope he survived,' he thought as he remembered their conversation back then.

"Now that I remember that… I will take another 100 and give it to him when I see him," Hugo scratched the back of his head as he grabbed another pile of money and placed them inside his bag.

He went into the cabinet on the side and changed into Julius's clothes. He wore sunglasses and a hat on his head to complete the makeover.

And yes, it was Julius's outfit. He copied it exactly the same.

Hugo looked at the mirror, and double checked if his transformation was successful. He didn't forget to wear a black mask as he hid his bag behind his back.

Fortunately, his bag was only small and flat at the same time.

He looked in the mirror to see his reflection. 'Damn, I do look like Julius.' he unbelievably muttered.

Hugo went outside as he turned everything back to normal. He steadily walked towards the policeman who was guarding the front door.

"How is the investigation going?" He asked, mimicking Julius's voice.

The police officer didn't suspect anything. "Sir Julius." he bowed his head. "We have checked the CCTV cameras near your location, but no one detected anything."

Hugo nodded. "How about any possible suspects?"

"We still do not have any lead, Sir. But don't worry, we are trying our best to find the culprit."

"Alright." Hugo took a deep breath as he walked away. 'It seems like no one spotted the cab that I rode. I wonder why?' His forehead creased.

He clearly remembered that he was dropped off just meters away from the front gate.

It was not minutes after when the real Julius left his office. He was weirded out by the stares that were given to him.

"What are you looking at?" The tone of his voice raised up.

The servants on the side quickly trembled in fear. Their heart leaped as they answered. "We just saw you walking earlier, Sir."

"What do you mean?" Julius's browed formed a straight line. "Where is that?"

"There, Sir…" The same servant pointed out the group of police talking on the side.

Julius's fist clenched. He went into his office and grabbed the gun under his desk. He hid it in his pants and stormed out.

He directly went to the place where the servants were pointing out. He saw the same look on the police's faces as he approached them.

"W-What… Sir?" The police who answered Hugo's queries earlier stuttered.

"Where is he?" Julius looked deadly.

The police pointed in the gate's direction. 'What is happening?' he confusedly asked himself. 'Don't tell me…' he immediately looked back when he realized it. "FOLLOW HIM!"

Hugo wasn't aware of what was happening. He was on his way to leave the gate with ease because of his clothes. No one has suspected him so far.

Honestly, it was a dumb move for him, but he need to find clues about what happened after he went unconscious. He tried asking some people that he met on his way, but they didn't know as well.

'Fuck. This is hard.' He kicked the stone on the ground. "I can't stay here any longer. I need to leave now." He tilted his head.

'St—'

"STOP!"

Hugo's body was stunned in place when he heard a loud banging sound together with the shout. His mouth fell open as he slowly turned back.

There was a bullet in the air, coming in his direction
