While she was sleeping, schools were officially closed and Justin who was picked up by his grandparents and father came looking for his mother.
"Hello," he greeted the maids in the kitchen. It was the first place he went because the kitchen was his mother's favorite part of the house. His too because it was where his mother cooked all sorts of delicious food for him.
"Hello Lord Justin." Gertrude was eager to respond to him. Being the first born son of Esong Wu, someday this little boy would be the head of the prosperous Wu family. "Are you looking for something to eat?"
"No, I want my mummy." He was eager to show her his report card, having come third in his class. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
"Your mummy might be sleeping so you will have to be real quiet." Anna told Justin.
He was let into the bedroom and he found her sleeping indeed as Anna said. Justin smiled, took of his shoes and slipped into the bed, falling asleep with his mother which was something he had not done in a long time.
His mother however was actually using this opportunity to continue climbing the ranks on the leaderboard. In order to at least come closer to top one hundred within a year she had to fight constantly and burst her way through the thousands of grim reapers that were already ahead of her.
The underworld was not like the mecha fights which were simple to navigate. Here, petty tricks like hallucinations did not work, only the level of soul strength did.
"You put those thoughts in her head." Lythia snapped at him.
lightsnοvεl "Tomato, tomatoe, she chose to escape, it's all the same thing. I like her, she is greedy but not too greedy. She knows her boundaries but it doesn't stop her from attempting to bargain with me. She doesn't fear me which keeps making me wonder who sent her here and why?"
"Does it matter?"
"I want them Lythia," The old deity looked deeply into Lythia's eyes and he repeated his words, "I want them. The last memories of her life belong to me but they were stolen, you know how I get when someone steals from me. So if by any chance it happens to be you, return what belongs to me or I will be very unhappy and no reaper will get any rest for the next ten millenniums. One tiny outbreak of a deadly virus can wipe out billions of them in a few years."
"That's extreme, even for you." she gasped.
"Like I said, I hate it when someone takes what belongs to me. I hate it even more when other deities interfere in the way I run my world, death is my territory."
Lythia touched her head and a little white floating string of energy appeared. Slowly, it floated all the way to the old deity and he inhaled it with his eyes closed. There was a euphoric look on his face, and then he exhaled.
"You reaped her soul personally, now why would you do that?" the old deity looked at Lythia curiously. Now he knew why no reaper could confirm having reaped Scarlet, or Su Yan as she was back then. Why would his all powerful sister, a minor deity reap the soul of a mere mortal?
"I owed someone a favor, she died before her time apparently so I delivered her and allowed her to keep a little dimensional space as per that favor. That is all I know, there is no mystery to it, check your records if you want and you will find that she was not supposed to die when she did."
"Huh, now I am back to being bored." The old deity feigned a yawn. "Although, someone needs to teach her how to master that flame, Severus told me that she is struggling but she is too proud to admit it. So, I will decide whether to step in or not depend on how she handles this fight. If she triggers my interest, I will not treat her like a toy, I will ..... master, I will be her master."
