Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 808

Chapter 808: Irresponsible Father

Elizabeth looked at him for a moment before shaking her head.

"The loops ended a long time ago. You should know that too," she said. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Neo fell silent.

She was right.

The loops had started shortly after the end of the First Divine War. Or perhaps near its end. Time was always blurry around that period.

The Cosmos had been reset again and again. Hundreds of years, repeating. Then, one day, it had simply stopped.

No warning.

No explanation.

Why had it ended?

What had happened back then?

Neo wanted to know. At the same time, he didn’t.

Right now, his life was... peaceful. As peaceful as it could be, considering everything.

If possible, he didn’t want to dig up truths that would only leave him with regret or sorrow.

"Okay," Elizabeth said eventually. "You should go now. The nearby cities and markets are far. If you want to come back by evening, you’ll need to leave soon."

Neo nodded.

He slipped the wooden token into his clothes and stepped outside the residence.

The guards posted nearby stiffened when they saw him and immediately saluted.

Other sect members noticed him as well. One by one, they bowed.

Neo gave a wry smile.

He didn’t say anything to them.

He wasn’t sure what he should say, and he didn’t want to draw more attention than he had.

He kept walking, scanning the area until he finally spotted Vivi near the western edge of the sect.

She was sitting at a small food stall, drinking something from a cup.

The moment she saw him, she spat out everything she had just drunk.

"Cough—!"

She hurriedly wiped her mouth, rubbed her eyes, and stared at Neo as if he were an illusion.

"Da–dad? How are you outside?"

Neo’s lips twitched.

He could guess exactly what Vivi had been planning, and why she looked so shocked.

She must have been fully convinced that he’d end up locked somewhere by now.

Unfortunately for her, Neo had hundreds of thousands of years of experience dealing with needy witches.

He didn’t answer her directly.

Instead, he glanced toward the open area outside the stall and gestured with his eyes.

"Come outside," he said simply, before turning and walking away.

Vivi scrambled to clean herself up, paid for the food, and rushed after him.

"Dad!" she said as soon as she caught up. "How are you? Did everything go well with— ouch!"

She yelped as Neo flicked her forehead.

She clutched her head and stared at him with watery eyes.

"Why did you hit me?" she complained.

"You know exactly why," Neo replied calmly.

Vivi grumbled under her breath but didn’t argue further.

After a short pause, Neo told her about his plan.

"I want to go to a nearby city or market for a breather."

"Suddenly?" Vivi asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes," Neo replied.

"That’s unlike you. You’ve stayed in the same place for years before without getting bored."

Neo shrugged.
