Hugo didn't know what to do next after he successfully killed the 10 men. That wasn't his intention in the first place, but since he had no choice, this was the outcome of all of it.
Looking above him, he stared at the sky. 'Is this what do you want me to do, Thalia?' he thought as his eyes were caught by his sword who he have accidentally dropped off. He picked it up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
'I can't leave any traces here.'
Going towards where multiple vans were parked, Hugo peeked at the window to see how well were they doing. When he saw that they were still unconscious, he opened up the front door so that air could circulate around.
They will die in suffocation since the car wasn't turned on and they were just stuck inside since earlier.
Hugo had no plans on reporting all of these personally. Aside from the fact that it would be troublesome since they would surely ask a lot of questions on how did he manage to find all of this out.
Going back to the breathless people who he have left, he covered his hands with a piece of fabric so his fingerprint wouldn't leave any traces.
He tried finding a phone on the unconscious bodies. When he successfully found one after a few minutes, he dialed the telephone number of the police station that was handling this case.
He didn't answer any of it, but rather he stood up and made a loud crashing sound. This was enough to make those who were in the police station to move. They were thinking that there must be a problem with where the caller was.
Hugo knew that the police could easily locate where the phone was. Glancing over to the sky, Hugo silently wished that these kids would be safe here in the meantime.
He teleported right to his bedroom. He sighed loudly as he saw that there were still droplets of blood left on his sword. He looked at the clock on the wall. His eyes widened.
"THAT TOOK ME TWO HOURS?"
Panicking, he immediately went to the bathroom to wash away the blood on his sword so he could take a shower.
He could smell a rust-like scent on his body. It must be because of the blood that was from the body of the person he killed earlier.
"I don't want to be a killer…" closing his eyes it was as if everything flashed back to his memory as the cold water from the shower continued to stream down his hair to his body.
"I just want to live peacefully but it seems like that woud be impossible now."
When Hugo finished showering, it was the same time when his parents came back. Thankfully, he was able to dry up and store his sword back in its box.
"Mother! Father!" He smiled as he saw both Verda and Hitano going inside their house. "You went home very early today." An awkward laugh came out of his mouth as he mentioned it.
Verda's forehead formed a straight line. "It's already 4 in the afternoon. We were supposed to come back at 2 pm." she pointed out.
"Oh, right…" Hugo scratched the back of his head. "Anyway, aren't you two going to fetch Hailey?" he asked them when he remembered that Hailey's class ends at 4:30.
"Didn't we text you that you were the one to pick Hailey up? What's with you today?" Verda looked at Hugo intently. "Don't tell me you were doing something?"
Hugo shook his head. "I just fell asleep, mother, that's why I didn't notice your text." He smiled. "Anyway, if that is the case, then I should quickly go to Hailey." he waved his hands before coming back to his room.
He had to double-check that there was no bloodstain left on his clothes before he went out to go fetch Hailey. Since there was still a lot of time, he was just strolling on the street, browsing the internet to see if there will be a piece of news regarding the kids.
But, there were still none after checking for almost 5 minutes.
"It seems like the police will have a hard time finding that location." he chuckled. "I don't even know where was that place." he scratched the back of his head. When he saw that the time was near, he just teleported his way towards a street where there were fewer passersby.
Since he was still 10 minutes early, Hugo decided to sit on one side. He opened up his phone and to avoid boredom; he talked to Lilianne, who he knew was waiting for him to message her.
Typing Hi and sending it to Lilianne. It didn't even take a few seconds before he got a reply from her. Her reply was just asking how Hugo was doing and when should they meet.
[Hugo: I am free tomorrow. What do you want to do?]
He looked at the side when he heard noises coming from afar. He saw that some classrooms were already releasing the students. He stood up and walked towards the middle so Hailey could see him faster once she went out.
When his phone beeped, Hugo instantly looked at it to see her reply.
[Lilianne: Alright. Just come to our house.
Seeing Lilainne's reply, Hugo wondered when was the last time he went to their house. If he remembered correctly, the last time was when they spent their time inside the bedroom doing things that were meant for lovers.
The sides of his lips when he thought of it. 'Damn, it's been so long since the last time I had sex,' he whispered in the air.
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Hearing a voice on his side, Hugo looked at it, seeing Hailey, who was curiously looking at him.
"You're here already." Hugo smiled. "How is school?" He continued as he took her backpack to carry it.
"It was good, brother!" Hailey excitedly answered. "I got a lot of stars from my teachers." She boasted around, showing the stamps in her hand.
"That is good." Hugo smiled. "Because of that, we shall eat ice creams!"
Hailey jumped in joy. "Where are we going to eat, brother?" she asked with her eyes full of interest after mentioning about food.
"You know the ice cream shop near the police station where we always go in the past right? Do you want to go there?" Hugo smiled as he took Hailey's hands.
Hailey nodded. "Anywhere is fine as long as it is free!" she jumped in joy.
"Then, let's go before mother will get suspicious about why we are late!" Hugo chuckled as he guided their way out.
The ice cream shop was just an excuse. What he really wanted to know was if the police had already managed to save all the children in the van earlier.
*****
Lilianne, who was in joy after the message she received earlier, became in a good mood. She was feeling down these past few days when Hugo didn't even bother to message her. But since she knew that Hugo needs thorough rest, she didn't even try bothering him.
'I'm so glad that Hugo finally texted me!' She smiled widely. She got up from her bed and choose an outfit from her closet.
"Lilith! Where are you?!" She shouted out loud as she left her room.
When no one answered, she instantly knew that Lilith was probably in her room. Going upstairs, Lilianne was in all smiles as she knocked on the door before twisting the doorknob.
"Do you want to come with mommy? It's been so long since we bonded together." She mentioned as she saw Lilith doing nothing but watching a movie on her laptop.
"Where, Mom?" Lilith's forehead creased. She looked at her laptop screen and uttered. "But it's 4 30 already. Are you sure you want to go out at this time?" she worriedly asked.
"Of course," Lilianne answered. "You need to go buy some clothes as well and do the grocery. Hugo will be visiting us tomorrow." She mentioned since she knew that, Lilith will instantly get moving after hearing his name.
"Hugo will visit us?" She gasped. "I will come with you then!" She instantly exclaimed. She stood up and went to her own bathroom to take a quick shower and to change her clothes.
"I'm glad that Hugo was already discharged from the hospital, mother." Lilith smiled as she entered the inside of the car.
"I know. He is such a good man." She paused. 'Good in bed too' she thought before continuing. "Good thing that we selected him as your tutor. We definitely made the right choice."
"I know, Mother." Lilith should be thankful that her mother was the one who decided to hire Hugo. Everything must be so different if ever they choose another person.
"But Mother... aside from the fact that Hugo is grandmother's savior, why did you accept him as my tutor?"
