Chapter 125 Finally, It’s Over

Hugo do not know what to do as he stopped the time. Should he just move the people to the side or do anything else?

"Ah, fuck!" Hugo cursed out loud.

He tilted his head to the side, staring at the big piece of a chandelier that was hanging in the air. He looked to the side and saw that there will only be 3 people in great danger if ever.

Hugo started to move the people's bodies to the side. It was only enough for them to not be in danger after he will continue the time.

Closing their eyes afterward so they wouldn't get suspicious of it. When he was done, he quickly turned everything back to normal.

He needed to save his strength for later.

He knew that this night wouldn't just end peacefully.

The sound of the fallen chandelier created a big pile of mess on the side. The people became startled hearing the sound of glass shattering right before their eyes. They do not have a choice but to move aside when some of the glass flew in the air.

The people whom Hugo saved were very thankful that they were lucky enough to not be in the same spot.

They do not have the time to question what had happened when all the things that were running through their heads were that they were finally saved.

Hugo stepped to the side. He looked at Julius, who was in the middle. He was staring at Noah intently and, before they could even react, Julius punched Noah in his face.

A loud gasped from all four corners of the room sounded.

Hugo sighed. He eyed them, not knowing what to do. When Julius saw Hugo on his back, he didn't even think twice and fired bullets in his direction.

"Mr. Julius, let's stop this!" Hugo exclaimed as he dodged all the bullets being fired at his side.

However, Julius didn't even flinch at his words. He already lost his mind, just like those people that he had turned into zombie-like.

The only difference was those people were being controlled by someone, and he alone was just being controlled by his own mind.

It was him who decided to do these things if worse comes.

It was his pride and greed that continues to drive him around, killing everyone that he sees might be a potential danger to himself or to his career.

But after a few seconds, Julius stopped aiming at Hugo. He turned his head to everyone, eyeing them murderously.

"Do you all think this would end here?!" Julius shouted desperately. He pointed his gun at Damien.

He was showing no remorse about what he had done for the whole night.

"You need to stop this, Julius." Noah's deep voice echoed at the whole venue as he looked at Julius intently. He was now up

Tears suddenly pooled Julius' eyes as he glanced over to Noah.

"This is all your fault!" The man screamed out loud. He bawled like a poor child as if he lost his dear parents.

"I do not want to kill Rome! I was just trying to protect myself and all the fortunes that I have worked hard for my entire life." Julius fell to his knees. He looked at the ground, with tears streaming down his face.

"It was your fault that I became like this!" He pointed out his fingers on Noah's side.

Noah was startled to see Julius pointing his finger at him. His forehead creased. He didn't know why this became his problem and why he got involved in the first place.

He didn't recall doing anything to Julius.

"It was you who made me doubt myself! It was you who kept plotting words in my mind that I wasn't good enough to stay in your company! IT WAS ALL YOU!"

Speechless.

Everyone became speechless after hearing Hugo's desperate shout.

Even Hugo became one. He didn't know about what Julius had gone through before he became in this state.

However, that doesn't justify his choices in life.

He could have talked to Noah about what he truly felt from the start, so that everything that is happening today might be avoided.

Hugo was looking at the two of them in the middle. He sat on the chair that was placed against his side.

He stared at them… watch them as they fought by themselves.

He looked around and saw that more people had discovered the fire exit by themselves. It seems like Julius's guards wasn't doing anything to prevent those people from using it even after they saw it.

It looks like, even they do not like what was happening right now.

"But you know what? That doesn't matter already." The tears in Hugo's eyes quickly vanished as he stood up. He looked towards Noah right into his eyes.

The sides of his lips stretched to the side.

"Since we are already here, and I already came this far. Why don't I continue this so all my efforts wouldn't be put in vain?" His grin became wider.

Without taking his eyes off Noah, Julius fearlessly fired gunshots in Noah's direction. Noah's eyes widened. He couldn't do anything but stand there. It was as if his feet were stuck, without a way out.

*Bang *Bang

Noah felt a pain on his stomach and his knees. His legs turned into jelly, causing him to fall to the ground. His face was touching the cold floor.

When he felt something in his mouth, he coughed, trying to relieve it.

However, it was only blood.

Julius looked at Noah's body. When he saw what he did, his hands trembled.

He looked at Noah worriedly.

"W-What happened?" He stuttered.

Confusion clouded his mind as he looked at them. But the gun that was in his hands gave him a clue about it.

"D-Did I do that?" Horror became evident on his face. He tried to go near Noah to help him stand up, but after just a few steps another gunshots echoed in the whole place.

Julius fell to the ground when he felt something in his back. "Damien?" betrayal was written his voice as he looked at the person who did it.

Damien continuously shakes his head. "I can't let you hurt more people." He tiredly uttered. He threw his gun to the side, staring at him with full regret.

"I should have stopped you earlier, so all of this wouldn't happen." He breathed out. His knees gave up on him.

Julius gathered all of his strength as he looked at Noah before looking at Damien.

"Why?"

That was the last word that came out from his lips.

At the exact time, noises of sound trying to open the door sounded. The police have already arrived at the location.

Hugo chuckled. "After all that happened, they just decided to arrive now?" He unbelievably exclaimed as he stood up.

"It seems like someone will get fired." He grinned when the door opened, revealing all of the high-ranking officers that looked as if they do not know what was happening inside.

"Protect the President!"

They surrounded the President who was standing in the middle. He tilted his head to the side, disappointingly sighing.

"I will talk to all of you tomorrow." He uttered with finality in his voice.

He turned his head back. "Go call the ambulance and have them treated already." He said.

Hugo looked at Damien and saw that his eyes were slightly red after shooting Julius.

'That's all they get for being greedy,' he shrugged his shoulders. He walked towards the fire exit in ease.

"That's all for today." He grinned.

He closed his eyes, teleporting right in front of Abigail's house. He was already tired from all of the things that happened for today.

He saw Abigail's message earlier informing him that his family was in there.

'It seems like I will have a very good rest for today.' He remembered that he had used a lot of his powers for today.

'Well, it's a good thing that my stamina for using my powers is improving.' He uttered to himself.

He surveyed his body before he pushed the doorbell button. He made sure that there was no blood or scratch on his body.

His parents will be worried if they will see him with wounds.

"HUGO!"

Abigail quickly comes running to open up the gate to let Hugo enter. Hugo hasn't even taken a step when she welcomed him with a tight embrace.

p Tears started to stream down her soft cheeks as she felt Hugo's warm body.

She had been watching the live stream earlier about what was happening inside.

It soared up on the internet and almost everyone in Lunaria has watched it.

"Why did you decide to stand up there and called out Julius's name? You could have been killed!" She exclaimed, refusing to recall how scared she was earlier.

Hugo chuckled. He looked at Abigail, wiping down the tears in her cheeks.

"Don't worry, everything is fine now."
