Chapter 136 Hendrix's Task
Hugo glared at Hendrix. "Let's go." His hands traveled onto his shoulder and slightly pulled him. Hendrix raised his right hand, telling Hugo to wait for a moment.
"Wait, I'll just say goodbye to them." He smiled, getting away from Hugo to go towards the crowd.
"I'll see you again later," Hendrix winked at them as he placed his hand on his back. Hugo saw that a rose suddenly appeared on it.
"For you, milady." Hendrix smiled as he bowed his head, taking the woman's hands. He then kissed the top of it lightly, making the woman's face redden like a tomato.
"Goodbye girls!" When Hendrix was done, he went back to where Hugo was waiting for him.
"Come!" He smiled widely as he went back to Hugo. He looked very happy that Hugo couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"I didn't know that you have many beautiful mortals here," Hendrix exclaimed as he followed Hugo. The both of them left the area even though Hendrix's name was still being shouted.
"What has gotten in your mind that you chose to leave the house?!" Hugo's feet stopped moving after they slightly got away from the eyes of the people.
Hendrix shrugged his shoulders. "I just got bored. Don't worry. He answered as he stared carefully at Hugo's face.
In there, he saw the disappointment written in his eyes as a loud sigh escaped from his mouth.
Hugo couldn't believe that Hendrix had just simply answered that. He was worried that Hendrix was here because of Thalia's order. If something happened to him, he was sure that Thalia would get angry.
"Let's go back to the house now. My parents and Hailey will be arriving soon." Hugo uttered as he started to walk again, not even minding whether Hendrix would follow him or not.
Hendrix became guilty of what he has done. He tilted his head to the side before taking a deep breath.
"Alright, I ask for your forgiveness for what I have done." He teleported right in front of Hugo after saying those words.
Hugo's eyes widened when someone suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Fuck!" He cursed out loud as he placed his hands on his chest. He could feel his heart taking a leap from what had happened.
"You should have informed me first when you want to teleport right in front of me!" Hugo exclaimed. He inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, trying to calm down himself.
Hendrix chuckled. "Stop acting like a scared cat. I am too tired to walk. Let's just teleport."
"Alright," Hugo agreed.
The both of them looked for a place that they could teleport on. When they saw a large tree on the side, they went behind it and teleported right inside Hugo's room.
Hugo immediately looked at the time and saw that it was 30 minutes away from 5 pm where his family usually arrives.
He just went to his bed and lay down on it. He looked to the side and saw that the mattress that he bought and a few other things were just placed in one corner.
Hugo closed his eyes for a few minutes before deciding to focus his attention on them. He grinned as he looked at Hendrix, lying down on the bottom part of his bed.
"I'll sleep in here while you will stay in the bed. Do you understand?" His brows shot up as he glanced over at him.
"Meow!"
"Good." Hugo couldn't help but laugh at the response.
He looked back on the mattress and unwrapped the mattress. He covered it with a black cover. He then proceeded to pen up a few pillows.
'It's done,' he smiled widely as he looked at his already-made bed on the ground. He placed it in one corner of his room, opposite where his bed.
'This is to prevent it from happening again,' he didn't forget to take a few precautions for what he has done.
When the door outside, sounded, he immediately fixed the mess of his room before going out.
"Mother, Father," Hugo greeted both of his parents as they went inside.
"Hugo, place this on the plate." Verda smiled at her son as she raised her hands which contains two plastic chickens.
"I picked those chickens as our dinner brother!" Hailey gladly announced. She smiled widely as she raised her arms, telling Hugo to carry her.
"Brother, there were a lot of visitors in our school today!" She gladly announced as she looked at Hugo with her innocent-looking eyes. "And then they gave us this!"
"Wow!" Hugo smiled as she placed his hands on top of her air, messing it.
Hailey showed Hugo cute little earrings with a pink flowery design on it. "I should meet the owner of this shop brother! The workers said that she is very kind." Hailey smiled widely as she caressed the earrings on her hands.
"We should do that if you want so," Hugo answered. He placed Hailey down on the ground.
"What is the business called?" Hugo asked Hailey since it would be impossible to know if he will just guest It alone. He does not have the power for that.
"Flowelle!" Hailey exclaimed loudly as she clapped her hands.
'Why does that sound like Elle for a second…" he shook his head, trying to remove some unwanted thoughts from his mind,
"Did you eat already, brother?" Hailey asked his brother after coming home. She followed him as they go to the dining table.
Hugo unwrapped the chicken and placed them on a plate just like what his mother had told him to do.
"Not yet," Hugo answered with a smile on his face.
He took a few pieces of chicken and rice and placed them on a plate.
"Where are you going to take that food?" Hailey's forehead creased as she saw that his brother was taking some food as if it were for someone.
"The cat will eat this," Hugo answered. He didn't know If cats were really supposed to eat this but since Hendrix had a body of a human, then there shouldn't be any problems.
"Oh," Hailey nodded her head, as if understanding what Hugo had said.
"Wait for me here?" Hugo reminded Hailey as he steps aside.
'Yes, brother."
Hugo went into his room, placing the plate down on the table.
"This is your dinner. After you're done eating you can go back to your cat form. Don't worry, we will go out tomorrow, so save your energy for that," Hugo informed Hendrix in fear that he might run away once again.
When Hendrix heard it, a smile instantly rose to his lips.
"Are we going to see those beautiful mortals too?" he asked with curiosity written in his voice.
"Beautiful mortals?"
"Yeah." Hendrix nodded his head.
"We will see," Hugo answered as he left the room. He took a deep sigh and was weirded out by Hendrix's sudden question.
Hendrix, who was left inside the room, shrugged his shoulder. His words were true. In heaven, those beautiful mortals were unique to see each day.
Since all of them were busy with their duties, gods and goddesses will choose to stay in their own hall to do their work.
Even he, who was the god of war, hasn't been towards Thalia's kingdom a lot of times. The woman was usually busy sorting out the people that can enter her kingdom, that's why.
And it was forbidden for them to interrupt one's work that's why it was actually his first time talking and socializing with living mortals.
And he couldn't help but say that they were fun too!
He thought that they were a bunch of useless fools who only wants the best for themselves.
But when he saw a man earlier on the street, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic toward them.
All of this wouldn't have happened if there was just been peace between Gods and Demons in the past!
'I should tell what was happening here to Thalia, just like what she ordered." Hendrix uttered as the corner of his lips stretched to the side.
Hendrix swayed his hands to the side. A white dove suddenly appeared on top of his palms. He made a magical pen and paper appeared on his hands after it. Looking at the dove, he instructed it to go to the side so that he could write on the paper.
Hendrix wrote in the paper using magical language that will only appear in front of Thalia's knowledge.
Thalia gave him three tasks and one of them was to know the current state of the world and experience it firsthand.
It was a lie when he said that he was out because he was bored earlier. He was actually monitoring the bar, and it was just his fault that he had gotten a lot of attention because of his looks.
"Bring this to her," Hendrix whispered right on the dove's forehead, kissing them lightly.
"Make sure that this wouldn't fall in the wrong hands. I order you."
