"Babe, you got a call from the government," A woman in a black dress uttered. Her black hair, reaching her butt, was placed on one side, revealing her mouth-watering cleavage.
An old man, sitting at the desk, smiled mischievously. He grabbed the woman by her back and made her sit on his lap. "You naughty girl, come sit in my lap."
The woman chuckled and made herself comfortable. She slowly moved closer in front of the man's face and held it lightly, using the tips of her fingers.
"Shh, don't make any noise." The old man chuckled as his face went near the woman. Pressing his lips tightly at the woman's, he gave it a light lick, making the woman giggle.
"Answer the phone now," the woman whispered.
The old man smiled and quickly answered the still ringing phone.
"Hello, Sir," He greeted.
"Mr. Hudgons, I want you to do something for me."
With furrowed brows. "What is it, Sir?"
"I want you to investigate the real cause of Mr. Rome's Death." The voice ordered. "In exchange of a large sum of money."
"Alright, sir." A satisfied smile appeared on the old man's lips.
When the call died, the woman on his lap giggled. "Don't forget my share once you receive the money."
"Of course!" The old man responded. However, when silence surfaced in the area, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. "I wonder why do they need to know that when his death is already known worldwide?"
On the other hand, in heaven's kingdom, Goddess Thalia together with other gods has been having a meeting.
"This belongs to the Demons," A god whose name was Hendrix, concluded. God Hendrix was known to be the god of war.
Azura's brows knitted. "We have already banished them to the land of mortals. Why would a demon invade one of the territories under the God realm?"
Callan walked closer and tilted his head to the side. "Are they creating another commotion?"
Thalia shook her head in disapproval, "I don't think it was this simple."
It has been more than two centuries since the heavens went to war with the demons. That was why it was quite unusual for a mere demon to enter their territory. Especially the Dragon clan, which was considered to be a noble family.
"Callan, I need you to go to the Dragon clan. Find some witness that could tell any information about the culprit." Thalia strictly ordered.
"But I already told Celeste that I will take her to the Diamond river," Callan butted in.
Azura went closer to the man, lightly smacking his head. "Then go with here once you came back, you fool."
Callan raised both of his middle fingers. "Okay, I get it. You didn't need to smack me in my head!" The man made a face.
Rolling her eyes, Thalia glanced over at their side and saw Hendrix watching them silently. "And you, Hendrix, I called you in the same matter, but different responsibility."
Hendrix, who heard it, let out a deep sigh. "What is it?" He asked.
An unusual smile crept on Thalia's face. "You need to help the mortal man who consumed the golden apple to unlock his spiritual veins. With that, he could start to venture more about his powers without limitations."
"Can't you do that?" The man asked. His forehead creased after hearing what Thalia had said.
"Will I ask you if I have the time to do it?" Thalia sarcastically responded.
Since there were a lot going on with heaven these past few days, she wasn't able to think about Hugo who has been on earth.
Taking a deep breath, Hendrix shook his head. "I'm still busy. I just came here because you said we have something to discuss," he objected.
Thalia didn't back out. Her eyes remained cold, looking at Hendrix with indifference. "I know that you were busy teaching the other god's kids. I already asked someone to teach them for you. So, you don't have to worry about anything except for helping Hugo,"
"Why didn't you tell me, then?" His expression turned brisk.
Shrugging her shoulders, "I assure you, Hugo is a talented student. He's a fast learner and will follow whatever you said. And those kids that you have been teaching are scared of you."
Celeste, who heard it almost laugh after hearing Thalia's words. She fought the urge to do so when she saw her glaring in her direction.
Hendrix nodded, "Let's see. I need to go now to check the things in my hall before I go down to the mortal realm. However, I can't stay there everyday."
The man turned his body around and left the hall afterward. Celeste walked closer to Thalia when they were left alone. She placed her hands on her shoulder. "When did Hugo become like that?" She asked teasingly.
Thalia glanced over at Celeste with her narrowed eyes. "Do you want me to make you go there instead?" her brows shot up.
Celeste shook her head repeatedly. "Of course no!" she defensively answered. "Let Callan and Hendrix take care of that matter. They are strong already!"
Chuckling, Thalia leaned against her throne as she closed her eyes, trying to ease her mind.
God Hendrix was the God of War. He was considered to be the best in swordmanship. He have been through a lot of battles already, that's why no wonder that he was very fitting for the role to train Hugo on how to be like them.
On the other hand, God Callan was the God of the Sky. He was in charge of the paperwork that was being handled in heaven. Such as who is befitting to enter their kingdom and live in their peacefully.
"Do you want to take a walk first? Let's teleport to the Diamond River!" Celeste suggested as she thought of it.
"But, aren't you going there with Callan?" Thalia grinned. She opened her eyes and teasingly stared at Celeste.
"Don't mind him." Celeste glared at Thali when she saw her malicious eyes. She hold unto Thalia's hands before closing her eyes so they could teleport to the Diamond River.
"Do you like it?" She asked when she saw that Thalia didn't cancel out her powers. The answer was already obvious but she just wanted to hear it coming from Thalia.
"Yes, I like it," Thalia nodded her head.
She glanced over to the side and saw Celeste looking at the alluring view right before their eyes. Gemstones surrounded the diamond River. It derived its name from the stone that you would mostly see in the area.
"Come, Thalia, let's go there!" Celeste excitedly uttered as she took the woman's hands.
It's been years since they last went here. Due to their busy schedule, they already have no time to go and visit these kinds of places. Thankfully, Callan one of Celeste's closest friends invited her to come here a few days ago.
"What do you think of this place now?" Thalia asked Celeste who was sitting beside her.
"Duh, of course, it looks pretty," Celeste rolled her eyes after hearing her question.
Thalia gave the woman a sullen look before switching her gaze to the side, admiring the shiny view. Her eyes were focused on the river in front of them. "I am thinking of enhancing and changing the way this river looks"
Celeste tilted her head to the side. "Well, you can do it with just one click of your hands." She pointed out the obvious since Thalia wouldn't be called the queen of heaven for nothing.
Thalia laughed at what she heard. "I wish I could go here every day," she wished as she took a deep breath.
The two of them were busy looking at the gems in the river when an attendant of Thalia appeared on the side. The man bowed his head deeply, he knelt to the ground, and announced something.
"Goddess, the man that you have been telling me to watch over has arrived at the gates of heaven. What should I do now?"
"Bring him to hell." The corner of Thalia's lips rose to the side.
Unlike what the mortal world knew, Thalia was still the one who was in charge of heaven. It was basically the Heaven's prison. The people who were not worthy enough to even be a slave in the kingdom of heaven was placed in there.
In there, they would be tortured emotionally from all the sins that they have committed. And the only thing that they can be released was when they were regretful enough for all the crimes that they have committed.
Although that was such a rare case. Thalia could even count on her fingers how many people were successful to leave that place.
Hell is the exact opposite of Heaven. There was no fire surrounding the area, however, there was darkness. Unordinary darkness that would make you feel lonely. It was a place where you would just prefer to disappear completely from the world.
