Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

"This is all the things that you should remember." Julius threw a brown pad of paper on Hugo's desk before he stormed out of the room.

Hugo stared at it blankly. He took it and skimmed through its pages. He just memorized the important things such as what drink does Julius like and so on.

He couldn't help but yawn since he slept too late yesterday. Lilianne and he were walking on the phone until midnight. He just pretended that their internet connection got off before he turned off his phone to sleep.

Hugo wasn't planning to work in Julius' place any longer. Their class will return next week and the only reason why he agreed to be here was to gather enough evidence for the incident that occurred in their school.

After that, he will just inform Julius that he will be quite busy with his school and that he would like to quit.

Unfortunately, he only has 4 days left before classes will be back in session. And he already had a hunch that in just 4 days, the cases of those who will have the symptoms of his mother's coworkers will be doubled.

"Good morning, Mr. Julius."

Hugo stood up from his chair and bowed his head when Julius entered his office.

"Good morning. Coffee for me." Julius blurted out as he directly went to his table.

"Yes, sir." Hugo went to the side and made a cup of coffee for Julius. He was staring at him, watching how he moved.

The first thing that he noticed was that he was already looking problematic, even though it was still early in the morning.

'It must be because of the people who were infected.'

When he was done, Hugo grabbed the coffee and placed it on Julius' desk. "Here it is, Sir."

Julius just nodded. He didn't even bother glancing at it. His eyes were fixed on the laptop's screen. He was busy talking to Noah and Damien, who were persisting him to stop the production of the vitamins already.

It was getting on his nerves, especially since this was the reaction he was expecting.

He kept on explaining to them that these symptoms were just short-term and that once the human body got used to them, then that reaction will eventually die down.

'They just don't know how to be patient,' He angrily uttered his mind.

He was already painting a big picture in his mind. A civilization that will be far different from how humans used to be. And they will be all under his reign!

Even Noah and Damien will be a part of it. The corners of his lips rose up. 'I was used to them ordering me a lot, but that will change once my plan worked out.'

He couldn't wait for it to finally work out. What Noah didn't know was that, since then, the company's workers were all loyal to Julius. He has bought their loyalty with the money that he had exhorted from the company.

And he did it all on Noah's back.

'Poor them and they can't even know what I'm planning,' He grinned. His thoughts were interrupted when his phone suddenly rang. And in there, he saw Noah's name.

Rolling his eyes. He turned off his phone before throwing it inside his drawer. He ignored all of their messages and just leaned against his chair.

Hugo couldn't help but stare at Julius in anger. 'Those innocent people…' he tilted his head to the side. He closed his eyes tightly, trying to calm himself down.

"Did you not sleep well?"

Hugo instantly opened his eyes when he heard Julius' question. An awkward laugh came out of his lips. "Yes, sir." he didn't need to lie since it was already the truth.

When Julius realized it, he straightened his back and placed both of his palms on his desk. "Regarding your school, I remembered that you still need to attend it for 2 months before your break."

Hugo nodded. 'Should I tell him now that I will quit on Monday?' He curiously asked himself when it seems like their talk will eventually lead there.

"Yes, Sir. That's why I want to say that I will be resigning—"

"No. You don't need to do that." Julius immediately cut off Hugo's words. "Since Rome is still here, then you can skip work on weekdays and just come here every weekend."

"..."

Hugo didn't know how to respond to what Julius uttered. 'What is he planning?' He wondered, as if Julius couldn't afford to free him from his position.

"Well, I already thought of that possibility when I offered you the work, so do not worry. Your income wouldn't decrease as well. You just need to swear that your loyalty will be to me. Can you do that?" Julius enthusiastically uttered.

"Uhm… sure, sir." Hugo answered with his forehead creased. He tried reading Julius's mind again to see what does he plan to do.

"Getting Hugo on my side will be much more beneficial to me. Once the vitamins showed their full potential, then I can offer him a large sum of money in order for him to agree to the experiment."

Julius chuckled. 'I just need to get close to his family as a backup plan so that if ever he declined, then I can just blackmail him about it." He continued talking on his mind.

"I already know that Damien has his eyes on Hugo. That's the other agenda for why we visited Leon's academia previously. If I let go of my grasp on him, then he will surely offer Hugo more than what I offered..." Shaking his head. Julius knows how interesting Hugo was in Damien's and Noah's minds.

If he ever got a hold of Hugo, then those two men will have no choice but to give in to his request in the future.

However, Hugo, who has been listening to Julius's thoughts, couldn't let that happen. So, he decided to do one thing.

"For the second thought, sir, I think I would just want to focus on my study and resign from this work."
