Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 815

Chapter 815: Elizabeth And Moraine

Minutes passed.

Neo opened his mouth, closed it, then opened it again.

Finally, he spoke.

"Please, sit. I’ll make some tea."

"Mhm."

Hades looked around the room once, as if committing its layout to memory, then sat down calmly.

Neo turned and walked into the kitchen.

His steps were steady, but his shoulders were tense.

He boiled water, measured the leaves, and poured carefully.

His hands didn’t shake, but his thoughts wouldn’t settle.

When he returned, he placed two cups on the table and sat across from Hades.

They drank in silence.

The tea cooled slowly between them.

Neither spoke.

After a while, Neo stood, collected the cups, and returned them to the kitchen.

He rinsed them, dried them, and placed them back where they belonged.

Then he rested both hands on the counter and took a deep breath.

[Master, talk to him. Are you going to just stay silent?]

"Shut up," Neo muttered under his breath, glaring at the screen. "I’m trying."

He inhaled again, steadied himself, and returned to the room with what he hoped looked like determination.

"Would you like to have lunch? It’s about time, so I was going to cook."

"Mhm."

Neo turned around before he could overthink it and went back to the kitchen.

Heavenly Records watched silently.

It had already expected this to happen.

Neo cooked methodically.

He made some simple dishes, nothing fancy.

It was food he knew how to make without thinking too hard.

When it was done, he served it and sat across from Hades again.

They ate in silence.

Hades kept glancing at him, as if there was something he wanted to say but couldn’t quite find the timing for.

Neo noticed but pretended not to.

Halfway through the meal, Hades spoke. "It’s good."

"Thank you," Neo replied.

The silence returned.

When they finished eating, Neo cleared the table and did the dishes.

He wiped his hands, stood there for a moment with nothing left to do, then finally returned to the room.

’I’m going to talk to him. I’m going to ask why he treated me like that,’ Neo told himself.

He walked in, saw Hades sitting there, and words got stuck in his throat.

Hades looked towards him, and Neo spoke the first thing that came to mind.

"You must be feeling stiff staying inside for so long. Would you like to take a tour of the Sect?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Neo wanted to slap himself.

"Mhm."

Hades nodded.

And just like that, it was decided.

Father and son left the residence together.

The Sect was lively.

Disciples trained in courtyards, elders discussed matters under shaded walkways, and children ran past carrying books that looked far too heavy for them.

As Neo and Hades walked, people began to notice.

Curious gazes followed Hades.

Some sensed his presence and quickly looked away. Others stared openly, unable to help themselves.

Neo noticed it all but said nothing. Hades didn’t react either.

They walked in silence.

Then a shout rang out.

"Grandfather! Grandfather!"

A blue blur rushed toward them.

Vivi skidded to a stop in front of Hades, staring up at him with wide eyes. "You are Grandfather, right? You look like Dad, just older."

Hades looked at Neo.

Neo nodded once.

Vivi’s face lit up instantly. "I finally met you! I’ve been asking Dad to let me meet you and Grandmother, but he always makes excuses."

Neo coughed lightly.

"Oh, are you having a tour of the Sect? Come on! I’ll give you one!"

Before anyone could respond, she grabbed Hades’s hand and began pulling him along.

Hades allowed it, matching her pace without resistance.

Neo followed behind them.

The awkward silence between father and son was quickly drowned out by Vivi’s excited chatter.

She talked about everything. The training grounds. The library. Which elder was scary and which one secretly gave snacks to children.

Hades listened quietly, occasionally nodding.
