[Breaking News! Julius Achre and Noah Willington of ELO were both in critical state! After the recent scandal that went trending a day ago, the two has been said to shot each other at the memorial event of Mr. Rome who was known to be Mr. Julius's former secretary.]

Scrolling through the numerous articles that was the hot topic online, Hugo couldn't help but be amazed with the fact that the two of them survived that night.

He expected that at least one of them would die but, alas.

Hugo tilted his head to the side. Julius's reputation has been drastically damaged after what happened. Damien started to clean his image as well, taking advantage of the unconscious state of Julius.

There was a press conference that will happen later at noon. It will be live broadcast in the internet.

Hugo was waiting for the live broadcast to take place. It was announced that it will start at exact 12 noon. It was already 11:55 so he just needs to wait for a few more minutes.

He glanced over to his side and saw that Rix, his cat, was lying down on one of his pillows.

"I'm the owner of that bed and yet, I'm the one who doesn't have space here." He tilted his head to the side. He looked at his space and saw that he was at the corner of his bed.

When he tried going near his pillow and moving Rix aside, it would hiss at him so after a few minutes of trying, he then, gave up and just move on the side.

When the time clock strike at exactly 12, the live broadcast instantly started. It took them just 1 minute before they reached a million views.

Even Hugo was surprised when he saw how many people were waiting for the live broadcast.

After 5 minutes, the live had its peak of viewers for almost 5 million people.

The press conference of Damien wasn't even starting and yet multiple news articles reacting to it had already been trending online.

Hugo was patiently waiting for Damien to arrive.

It didn't take a lot of time before everyone in the court to stand up. That's when he noticed that a lo of people were behind this conference.

However, their main goal was to clear Damien's name.

Damien finally stood in front of the camera. He bowed down as if he was showing how down to earth he was.

Hugo turned on the comment section to see how the people reacted to what Damien was doing. He couldn't help but stare at the comments beyond belief.

With just one act of humbleness and they were already saying that Julius was the main culprit and that he just wanted Damien and Noah to suffer with him.

Damien proceeded to his chair in the middle. There were a lot of microphones in front of him that were all lined up on the table.

The camera moved to the side showing the hundred reporters that they invited.

"Good afternoon, everyone. This is Damien, the president of Lunaria speaking." Damien started his talk with formality. He paused for a minute to give time for the photographers to take a picture of him.

Unknown to others, the whole part of the press conference was staged by Damien. All the reporters that were on the venue was paid by a large sum of money.

Even the top news center who was known in writing articles had be brought by him as well.

"We will start the press conference now that Mr. President is already here." A voice of a man that wasn't on the camera frame sounded.

"We all know that what happened a day ago had reached all ears of the people that were living in Lunaria. Do you want to say something about this issue, Mr. President?"

Damien looked gloomy as he reached out for the mic in front of him.

"Mr. Julius Achre had been a great friend of mine since we were in college. It saddens me to the fact that he chose this wrong way. We have shared a lot of memories and solved a lot of problems together for this country.

I'm shock when I saw that he was involved in corruption and several crimes that are against our law. Thinking of it, it still breaks my heart knowing that the Julius that I knew when we were young used to be kind and caring to other people."

A loud sigh coming from Damien followed his words. The comment section exploded with a lot of positive comments regarding Damien. They were praising him for useless reasons that weren't even part of what he said.

Hugo tilted his head to the side.

'This people are all hopeless.' He uttered.

He focused his attention when another question had been asked.

"If the investigation proved that Mr. Julius Achre is guilty of the charges pressed against him. What do you plan to do, Mr. President?"

Damien took the mic again. His eyes stared straightly at the camera.

"When I first held this position, I promised my people that I will promote equality to everyone. That means all will be given justice and punishment that they deserved.

Currently, the police has been conducting a thorough investigation about the matter. Once Mr. Julius Achre has been proven guilty, then we will follow what the law states and place him behind the bars."

Flashes of camera could be seen one more time with what Damien announced.

'If Julius heard this then he would regret not killing Damien that night.' Hugo couldn't help but chuckle.

'What a great friendship that they have,' Hugo thought in sarcasm. Looking back at the screen, he sighed and watched the whole live broadcast that had went on for 2 hours.

When it was done he stood up from sitting and stretch his muscles.

"That was long!" He exclaimed.

He took a deep sigh. He already expected that that was the response that Damien will say.

Now, once Julius coke up, all the blame and punishments would be given to him.

Even Noah was saved by Damien by telling earlier that both of them were innocent against Julius's accusations.

"Rix, can you go down?" Hugo raised his brows when he saw that the cat was still lying down on his pillow.

"Can you even communicate with me?" Hugo, in a low voice, whispered. His eyes flew towards Rix who jumped off the bed after he said it.

'I guess this cat can't talk. For Pete's sake he is an animal,' he tilted his head and proceed to walk. 'I'll just think of other ways to communicate with this cat. Maybe—'

But before Hugo could even think of ways, a sound of a young woman echoed in his head.

[Hello, Hugo.]

Hugo almost trip to the ground when he heard a female's voice talking in his mind. Aren't you a guy?!' his eyes widened.

[Who knows?]

The voice once again, answered.

"How old are you then?" he asked when he heard that the voice was too soft. If he will conclude it then it must be from a little girl.

[I am 405 years old already or 19 in human's life] The cat answered that made his eyes instantly bulged out.

'She is 405 years old but her voice sounded like those from 12 years old…' he swallowed hardly when he felt that there was a lump forming in his throat.

"What the fuck?" he couldn't help himself but curse loudly. 'but your voice is too little.

[I am just blessed with a body, face, and voice that looked so young.] the cat's voice spoke to him a confident manner. You could hear the faint tone of boasting in it.

'So, like a Loli?' the corner of Hugo's lips rose to the side.

[What is that?]

"You don't need to know," Hugo's grin became wider. He took a seat on his bed and leaned against the wall.

[Why are you making me hang like that!]

The voice on his head responded once again. He chuckled when he noticed that it was getting impatient.

Hugo scratched the back of his head. It seems like the cat that he got was too innocent for his liking. He should not pursue this topic any longer as he might feel guilty afterward for corrupting her mind.

'Do you have a human form?' he asked, now getting interested in it.

[….]

The cat didn't respond to Hugo's question. He took a deep sigh.

"For all I know is that you are probably lying about your age." Hugo uttered. He shrugged his shoulder, closing his eyes for a second so that he could rest it.

After watching the live broadcast that had happened for 2 hours, he had gotten a headache after it.

"Pst,"

Hugo was interrupted when a sound, sounded in his room. He opened his eyes to look for it. He was about to glare at the cat for interrupting his relax time but instead he was the one who had gotten speechless.

"A TRAP!"
