Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

Hugo immediately stood up. His brows furrowed as he glanced over Hendrix. "Did you fight with someone or did something yesterday to attract people's attention?" he looked at him intently.

Hendrix shook his head. "Of course, no!" He exclaimed as he followed Hugo. The both of them went towards the door, hesitating whether to open it or not.

"What now?" Hendrix asked in a low voice, being mindful that the person behind the door might hear what they were talking about.

"You're the God here, you should try opening the door." Hugo uttered as he pointed his finger at Hendrix.

"But you are the mortal one here and you have powers too, so you should open it." Hendrix suggested, trying to defend himself on why he should not be chosen.

Hugo scratched the back of his head. At this point, they will just continue to point finger at each other and no one would back off to say the reasons why the other one of them should be the one to do it.

*Knock *Knock

"Hugo? Are you there?"

With his eyes widened, Hugo and Hendrix immediately took a step backward after hearing a familiar voice.

"Didn't that voice come from the woman that we met yesterday? Why is she here again?" Hendrix asked. His eyes turned to Hugo. "Don't tell me…"

Hugo glared at Hendrix. He already knew where the talk will lead. "Go back to the living room and opened the lights. Slightly open the curtains too." He ordered him around in a low voice.

"Alright," When Hendrix turned his head to do what he was told to, Hugo cleared his throat and made sure that the ring was still on his finger.

He just realized now that it was weird. 'Should I transform when I have this ring on and be back to my original appearance when I'm not wearing this?' he tilted his head to the side.

When he saw that Hendrix had already opened the lights in the living room, he put on a smile on his face and open the door widely to see their visitor.

"Hi, Ella." Hugo greeted enthusiastically. "What brought you here?" he asked. There was a faint curiosity on his voice.

"Oh, I just came to visit to see how you all are doing." Ella chuckled. "I am here to see you off as your landlord."

"Oh, that's right." Hugo awkwardly laughed. He cleared his throat once again as he motioned his hand towards the door. "Do you want to go inside?"

"Sure," Ella nodded her head.

Hugo opened the door much more wide for Ella to enter. When they were both inside, Hugo saw Hendrix on the kitchen, washing the dishes.

'Wow,' he couldn't help but exclaim silently. 'Did he get possessed or something,' his forehead creased as he went closer to Hendrix.

'What are you doing?' He asked the man using his mind.

'Washing the dishes, obviously,' Hendrix answered.

'You know how to do that?' Hugo's eyes widened when he saw that Hendrix was doing well in his job. There was no broken plates or glass in the floor.

'No,' Hendrix sarcastically answered as he moved to the side so that Hugo wouldn't see what he was doing.

"Hi there," Ella waved her hands to Hendrix as she saw him on the kitchen. She had already moved on from the incident yesterday since he had apologized for it already.

"Oh, hello." Hendrix pretended as if he was surprised by the sudden visit. "I didn't know that you were here." He smiled.

Hugo fixed the dining table and let Ella sit there comfortably. "Have you eaten already, Landlord?"

"Yeah. Don't worry." Ella answered.

"What about drinks?"

"Juice is fine," Ella smiled as she that the apartment was in good shape. She noticed the bags on the ground.

"Is that your things?" She stood up and went to it. She was about to touch them so she could move them to the side since it was on the middle of the floor and someone might trip on it when he felt a force pulling her body back.

"Don't worry about that Landlord," Hugo smiled warily as he pulled Ella.

This caused for Ella to be flustered after noticing how close their bodies were. But Hugo didn't mind it at all. He took a step forward as if nothing happened. He took the bag on his own and communicated Hendrix using his mind.

'Take care of her for the meantime. Make sure she won't come upstairs.' He reminded him as he glanced back to Ella.

"I will just take my things upstairs."

Worried flickered on Ella's eyes as she saw that Hugo was carrying the 3 bags by himself. By their sizes and just by looking at how full they were, they seem to be kind of heavy to carry.

"Do you want me to help you?" She tried offering her help.

Hugo shook his head. "No need. I can do this all by myself. How can I let my landlord carry my things right?" he answered as he moved hurriedly to avowing more question.

Hendrix scratched the bac of his head as he and Ella were left alone in the dining hall. He opened the fridge and took out some boxed juices.

"Here you go, landlord." Copying the way Hugo called Ella, he poured the juice in the glass in front of Ella.

"Do you want anything?" He smiled awkwardly as he pointed out the food on the table.

"No thank you," Ella shook her head.

"Alright, we just need to wait for Hugo to come back." Hendrix busied himself to avoid talking to Ella. The atmosphere was so awkward that when Hugo came back after a few minutes he became hesitant to talk.

'What did you do?' he asked Hendrix. The both of them were so quiet that he could even hear the tickling sound of the clock on the wall.

'Nothing,' Hendrix answered, scratching the back of his head. He turned to Hugo and pretended that he just saw him right now.

"Hi, there, man" Hendrix greeted Hugo.

"Hi, there." Hugo greeted back. He hid his surprise by what he had said. It seems like Hendrix has been adjusting well to the mortal world that he could now use phrases like that.

"Landlord, May I ask why you are here?" Hendrix showed interest on Ella. His eyes took a quick glimpse on her hand and saw that the ring wasn't there already.

"Oh, I'm just making sure that both of you are comfortable enough in my apartment." Ella smiled at Hendrix. She quickly hid her hand below the table when she saw that he was looking at it.

"By the way, where did you got your ring?" Hendrix asked her.

Hugo who has been walking on the side was weirded out by Hendrix's sudden question. It was new for the man to show interest in something.

"I just got it from somewhere…" Ella avoided Hendrix's gaze. She hurriedly stood up as if she had just remembered that she will be ddoing something more important.

Ella opened up her bag. She took a brown folder out of it and quickly gave it to Hugo. "I will be going now," she waved her hands at them before she went to leave.

Hugo was dumbfounded with Ella. He looked at the folder in his hands and opened it. It just contains their contract and the list of people that they could contact with if there will be a problem in the house.

He left Hendrix alone who has been quiet since Ella left and gave him enough space. For now, he will just be organizing his things and making sure that his bags will be well hidden in his room.

Hendrix, who was left alone was still staring at the door even after a few minutes.

"Where did I see that once again?" His forehead creased as he thought of it deeply.

He was sure as hell that the ring which was previously worn by Ella wasn't just an ordinary ring. Her, not wearing it after the incident just prove that accusation.

"A ring that glows when someone uses a power?"

The only thing that he knew about the ring was that it glowed because of his powers. If there will be gods residing in this are then he should know about it since their presence was different than mere mortals.

"If she is a god who was given a special task by Thalia then I should have at least felt that her presence was much more dominating than humans even if it's just a little bit. But that wasn't the case. Her presence is just equivalent to humans." Hendrix muttered using a low voice.

Except if that god was purposely thrown out of heaven…

Hendrix's eyes widened. His lips parted apart when he remembered something.

"Don't tell me…"
