Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720: A Hidden Mastermind, Ancient Dragon Blood

"You know Velkaria?" Felix asked back.

Neo nodded slowly.

"Velkaria told us ’someone’ told its master—the Outer God Yaleth—that it was killed on Earth. In other words, someone sent Velkaria here. We wanted to find that person, since they caused a lot of damage to our world."

Neo’s expression darkened.

The memories of Velkaria were not distant ones.

His previous reincarnation of Hades and his mother had both died at its hands.

"Why were you searching for that person?" Neo asked.

"There was a chance they could leak our location to the Universal Alliance. We couldn’t find them, so we started backtracking Yaleth.

"There was also the chance this person sent Velkaria to confirm Yaleth’s death. If so, they’d want to steal Yaleth’s research on Soul Weapons," Felix said.

Neo forward.

"But the one who took Yaleth’s information about Soul Weapons is—"

"Not Kevin," Felix interrupted smoothly. "Because of a contract, I can’t tell you how I confirmed this. But the person who stole Yaleth’s research wasn’t Kevin. They were only impersonating him."

"But why?"

Neo’s brows creased further.

Arthur, who had been silent until then, spoke again. "It might be because you."

Neo turned to him, startled.

"...Me?"

Felix continued. "Given your strength and potential, maybe this person wanted you to fight Kevin. We can’t say for sure. We don’t have enough information. Even Percival hasn’t been able to find anything on them."

Neo sat quietly, absorbing everything.

The bar’s noise continued faintly in the background, but the weight of the conversation pressed down harder than any sound.

And somewhere deep in his chest, unease stirred again.

His thoughts spun without pause.

Was it really him this mysterious person was targeting?

And if so, why?

What were they planning to do with Yaleth’s stolen research on Soul Weapons?

Damn it, I should’ve talked about Soul Weapons with Kevin.

Back then he had been a mess, both emotionally and mentally.

He had been too unstable to think clearly, too overwhelmed by everything happening.

He’d left without asking the questions that mattered, convincing himself he could return later and pick it up again.

"Why is everything coming up at the same time?" Neo muttered under his breath.

Felix tilted her head, watching him closely. "There’s a problem coming up?"

Her tone wasn’t teasing anymore.

She had picked up the tension behind his words.

"There might be," Neo admitted. He leaned forward, lowering his voice. "Can you show me your Dragon Mark?"

Felix raised her arm without hesitation.

The skin on her forearm shimmered faintly, then darkened as the mark became visible.

It looked like an ink-black tattoo etched into her flesh, a dragon caught mid-flight with its wings spread wide and talons reaching forward.

The lines seemed almost alive, shifting faintly with every flicker of light.

Neo studied it for a long moment.

His expression didn’t change, but inwardly, he cursed.

"Where did you get it?" he asked finally.

"The Ancient Dragons gave it to me. They said it would help me track ancient dragons with the name Hargraves. My new mission was to kill them."

Neo clenched his jaw. Damn it.

Felix narrowed her eyes. "What is it?"

"My bloodline," Neo said slowly, "is an Ancient Dragon bloodline."

But I don’t feel any different. I can’t feel any power within me like what I felt from brother.
