Supreme Master In The Apocalypse

"Let's go out tonight, everyone." Hitano gladly announced as they all share the same breakfast.

"Really, Father?" Hailey's eyes twinkled in adoration at what Hitano meant. It was once in a blue moon when all of them go out together.

"Yeah."

"Yay!!" She clapped her hand loudly. "Will you join us, brother?" her expression changed when she remembered that Hugo always goes out every Saturday.

Hugo chuckled as he nodded. His sister really looks adorable. "Yes. Don't worry. If you want, we will buy new toys for you too." He patted Hailey's head before going back to eating.

He was feeling a little bit uneasy with what his father had uttered. 'Going out? It was a year ago when we last go out as a family.' his forehead creased.

He took out his phone and looked at the date on the calendar. "April 18, 2049"

Hugo's expression turned sour after remembering what happened on this day. It was the start of their misery in his previous life.

'No… I can't let history repeat itself.' His eyes darted to Hitano. He used his powers to read what was on his mind.

'My co-workers said that I can get $2000 later. I should surprise my family later!' Hitano smiled widely.

Hugo slowly nodded. '$2000… That's only the reason why my family went into misery?' he unbelievably asked himself.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you that I will be attending a meeting now. Just wait for me later, and we will go once I came back from work." Hitano quickly added in.

"At what time are going home, sweetie?" Verda asked curiously.

"Maybe around afternoon, sweetheart." Hitano paused for a while. "I will just text you once I'm on my way home already."

Verda smiled. Their breakfast quickly comes to an end after a few minutes.

Hugo didn't waste his time. He proceeded to go to his bedroom and took out the box containing all the money that he got from Julius's house.

'I will just need to give my father $4000 and he will be safe,' he thought as he hid it in his pockets. He needed to secretly place this in Hitano's wallet.

"I know that my father rarely checks his bag after taking a bath. Then I should use that opportunity!"

Hugo quickly came out to ask Verda where Hitano was.

"Your father is taking a bath, Hugo. He has a meeting so don't make him late, alright?" Verda reminded his son as she washed all their dishes.

"Yes, Mother." Hugo went inside his parent's room and searched for his father's bag.

"There you are!" He grinned when he saw it under the blanket.

Hugo hurriedly opened up his father's bag and pulled out his wallet. He neatly placed the four $1000 bills inside. He made sure that his father would not be able to see it at first glance.

His eyes widened when he heard footsteps coming in his direction. He quickly placed them back in their original position before teleporting inside his bedroom.

"Shit," he held onto the wall for support when his surroundings started to spin for a couple of seconds. "I wonder, what can I do for this to stop?" he massaged the temple of his head.

He took a deep sigh and lay on his bed.

"Now I just need to wait for my father to leave. Then I will wait for a few minutes, and I can teleport to his office."

Hugo patiently waited for the right time.

*Tenenenenenenen

He quickly stood up when his alarm rang. He smiled widely before going out.

"Mother, I will just go out." He informed Verda.

"Where are you going, brother?" Hailey puffed her cheeks.

"In the mall. I will try to buy dad some new tie." Hugo answered.

Verda looked worriedly at him. "Do you have any money, son? I can give you some if you want." she was about to stand up when Hugo stopped her.

"No need, mother, I saved some money for father. There might be a piece of good news. That's why he wanted for us to go out later." he reasoned out.

"Oh.. right. Just make sure to come home early, alright? If what you have said was true, then we need to congratulate your father altogether."

Hugo nodded. "I will get going now then," he waved his hands as he left their house.

He looked around the street to make sure that no one will see him teleporting to another place.

'Stop." Hugo whispered in the air before closing his eyes to teleport to his father's office.

He remembered that he had been here before when his father toured them around.

Hugo looked for a spot where he could hide. He found a cabinet near his father's office.

'Hiding like this brings a lot of memories, but I have no choice." He tilted his head as he went inside.

He moved some things to the side so he could fit in. He didn't entirely close the door and left a space on the side so it wouldn't be too hot.

Hugo turned everything back to normal. It wasn't that long when he saw two people following behind his father. Hitano looks problematic. He was spacing out while his two co-workers were talking to him.

"You need to pay us $2000!" The woman angrily shouted at poor Hitano.

"But, please I have no money, Maam…" he pleaded it. Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead as he remembered what he said to his family later.

"If you can't pay, then I will report you to the higher up as a thief!" The other one rolled her eyes.

"Go get your wallet and pay us your money, or do you want to lose your job?"

Hitano's eyes watered. He had no choice but to get his bag from his chair. His hand trembled as he opened up his wallet. 'Why is this happening to me?' he asked himself.

"Tsk. Why did the company hire you? You're just a lowly human. What will happen if you lose your job, huh?" The first woman boasted around. She kicked Hitano's chair, causing it to fall to the floor.

However, Hitano didn't completely hear what his co-worker had said. His eyes were focused on the bills that were inside his wallet when he tried searching for money.

"Where did this come from?" His brows formed a straight line.
