Reborn As Hades In Olympus

Chapter 34 - 34: Ch. 34: A New Character, Talos

Ch. 34: A New Character, Talos

"Mister-- Lord Hades, please calm down." Pine said while reaching one hand to his back, made me.wonder if he had a gun there. Now that would make me laugh. "What we just have is mere facts that are yet to be fully idealized--"

He gasped as I started to approach him, I was done here as it was. I swear I don't know what Pine was finding behind his back but it was bugging me, I walked past him and found his hand empty. "Oh, I get it now." I remarked slightly as I turned and headed towards the woman that had kept silent all the while with her back to the wall, she barely flinched as I stood before her all she did was glare.

She was shorter than I was so the glare didn't seem as threatening. "I have had enough of your mind games miss or should I say Talos." I kind of expected for her to flinch even by a little but she didn't bat an eye. Now that's problematic.

"You knew?" Was her only response, calm and concise, it made it almost impossible to tell what she was really thinking.

But I knew she was surprised that knew who she was-- thanks to my one good eye. Back at the hotel I analyzed them.

After throwing almost all of my domination points into my good eye I could see more of characters information, my prediction was more accurate. If I had this at the party perhaps I could have saved Hermes.

When I analyzed the woman I half expected her to be some assistant or trainer, what a surprise when I saw this:

TALOS: ???

It had me baffled, good thing I upgraded the eye. I went back into my room and re

Yeah, she is annoying. Like some real piece of work out of a detective novel. As I left and slammed the door behind me I wondered if I should have read more of detective stories than I did of Greek mythology. I navigated my way out of the Bai Corps headquarters, it was very much like a police station— really brings back old memories.

Only that time I was at the wrong side of the bar, wasn't a good memory also wasn't bad either-- it was hell.

What had I learned so far aside that there is now some psychotic b**ch after my head just for the fun of it.

1. I WAS THE PRIME SUSPECT OF THE INVESTIGATION.

2. I WAS BEING FRAMED, SO THE PERSON MUST HAVE BEEN A MASTERMIND OR THEY HAVE A SORT OF COLONY TO PLAN THIS OUT.

3. WHAT IS BLACK AMBER? IF IT IS ONLY ENCLUSIVE TO THE UNDERWORLD THEN— IS HECATE INVOLVED, CONSIDERING SHE IS STILL ABSENT.

4. WITH ME TRAPPED ON OLYMPUS I HAVE TO ASSUME THAT THOSE AFTER MY HEAD ARE STILL HERE.

5. MY FIRST LEAD IS FINDING OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HERMES, TO DO THAT I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME AND USE MY BLOODY EYE ON EVERY GODDAMN THING THERE.

6. "TALOS" IS A THREAT, NOT SURE HOW MUCH BUT THE EYE IS AFTAID OF HER.

I stepped out of the building and over to my car after running down everything I had gone through one more time, making sure to not miss a thi— Oh Right!! I came in the detective's car so I don't know if I am going to get a free ride back. Guess I'll just walk back then.

I started down the side walk in the beautiful afternoon sun, now that I thought of it— there was no sun in the underworld so there was no day, only night meanwhile here had both. How envious I was....

BRRRRZZ!

Huh!? My phone? I dug my hand into my pocket and took it out, just who the hell would be calling my line?:

INCOMING CALL

UNKNOWN NUMBER

ACCEPT / REJECT

I had a bad feeling about this in the pit of my stomach, but I picked the call regardless. I placed it to my ear and said nothing, only continuing my carefree walk down the path before me.

INCOMING CALL

UNKNOWN NUMBER

01:07

REJECT

Still static huh? Now I was begging to feel like a fool, did whoever was on the other end think this was a game or something. I was enraged, "Hey! Listen whoever you are if you don't--"

"HI! IT'S ME—!"

My chest felt funny from the familiarity with the voice. "HER— MES?"
