Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey
Chapter 175: Caught

'What the fuck is going on? Who is Yato? I don't know, Yes I know that I'm the author of this novel but I have never character named Yato!'

I also searched my memory of my previous world to make sure that I was not forgetting anything and I was right I didn't write any character named Yato but when I searched Lucas's memory I found something about Yato.

Yato is considered the strongest hero and only the top 5 heroes in the world come close to his strength but how can be? I remember that I wrote that the current number one hero is the strongest but here everyone says that Yato is the strongest.

Everything is messed up by him he is like Evelyn who I don't know anything about at the start the only difference is that he is very overpowered when I say very overpowered you should have some idea.

I also found that the Demon outbreak that happened 11 years ago, in which Adrian's parents and all of his villagers were slaughtered by demons was stopped by Yato himself.

He singlehandedly killed most of the demos and monsters that come out of Doungen Gate, thankfully when he saved Adrian his parents and all of the villagers already were dead.

I may sound cruel but I don't care! If Yato reached earlier to Adrian village and saved everyone there then he would never have received the system and he would stayed in that village all of his life!

Anyway because of the appearance of Yato, everything changed in the plot, I have to do something about it but what can I do? Someone who is considered the strongest by everyone, I could do nothing but watch from the sidelines.

'Fuck.' Again, I cursed.

Anyway, currently I'm alone in a conference room with Yato, alone. Everyone including Elise, Jack from the world government and Lillian and Adrian had left this room at Yato's command.

Can you believe it? Elise is 107 in hero ranking but even she could do nothing when he said everyone leaves the room.

"Please, have a seat." Yato's voice breaks my chain of thoughts.

Yato gestured to the seat where few moments ago Adrian was sitting. I obliged and sat back on the seat.

Yato took a seat opposite me.

He poured me a cup of green tea from the teapot placed on the centre table and stared at me intently for a few seconds.

After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke up.

"I've called you here because I wanted to ask you about something regarding what happened yesterday, Lucas."

What does he want to know? And in the first place, why is he asking me that? Shouldn't Miss Lillian have told him everything?

Anyway since I'm here and I know that I can't run away from him, I nodded in agreement.

"Here take a look at this." Saying that Yato took out his phone from his pants pocket.

It was a smartphone. An advanced version of it, I mean.

From the screen of the smartphone, a holographic display projected out in the air in front of me.

On the holographic screen, a video started playing that caught my attention almost instantly.

With eyes filled with confusion, I gazed at the video before me as Yato's voice echoed in the background, asking, "Is that you?"

The video was a bird's-eye view recording of the fight we had earlier today against the two assassins of the 'NewSun' Organization and Tony.

[ In that fleeting moment, the silhouette of a young man emerged, with golden hair and green forest eyes.

He tightly grasped a long, long dark silver colour now in his hand.

An arrow left the bow, The Light Magic enchanted arrow, streaked through the air with blinding speed, aimed directly at Tony.

As the arrow closed in on him, Tony, locked in combat with Adrian, sensed the imminent threat. With his remaining claw, he attempted to deflect the arrow, but the celestial energy in the enchanted projectile resisted any interference.

-BOOM!

The arrow pierced through Tony's demonic defences, replaceing its mark. A radiant explosion of light engulfed him, the celestial energy acting as a purifying force against the darkness within.

"Aghhhhhhhhha!"

Tony's agonized scream echoed through the hall as the Light Magic worked its way through his demonic form. Dark energy dissipated, replaced by the radiant glow of the celestial power.

As the celestial light faded, Tony's demonic form disintegrated, leaving behind only ashes.]

That's where the recording of the video ends.

…I was at a loss for words.

Did I miss a security camera? I thought I spotted them all and disabled them in time to match my attack.

No, it couldn't be… I can't ever make such a big blunder. I spotted every security camera there was. I am sure of it.

Then what was this?! Where did he get this video from?!

"Is that you?" Yato repeated his question.

"Yes, that's me," I admitted, I don't know where he got CCTV footage but I can't do anything to admit it since the cat was already out of the bag.

Yato nods his head a few times after I answer him, after a moment of silence Yato opens his mouth "Where did you get Nightshdawo's bow? From what I know this bow should be in Eldoria City 'Artifact Room'."

'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!' I mentally cursed myself as he asked a tricky question to me.

I have to tell him the truth, if I lied here and later he goes to Eldoria and investigates this and replaces out that I stole this bow, then I would myself behind the bar.

No one could get me out of there not even my parents!

But if I tell the truth now will he tell this to Lillian?

The only way to know is after I tell him the truth

"I had stolen this bow in 'Artefacts Room' When a fallen human attacked there, we were going to die if I could do nothing so I had no choice but to steal it and use it and it's thanks to this bow that I'm alive right now."

There you go, I told everything true and now let's see his reaction.
