All six of them sat across the living room; Perseus and Zeppelin sat on a couch, while the others were scattered on another couch. “Here is the thing.” Perseus began speaking since his aunt and uncle weren't ready to speak. “I managed to get them to protect you all, and that only matters.” Gabrielle and Relic exchanged glances before glancing back at Perseus. “I didn't know that you knew to fight like that,” Eriane muttered. “I have seen you hit those security men, but it was nothing like this.”Perseus ran his hand through his hair. “I knew how to fight for a long time.’’ He lied. “Hmm.” Eriane stared at him, squinting. “You're a terrible liar, and I can see through your lie.” Perseus grabbed Zeppelin's shoulder. “See, I didn't fight them alone. Zeppelin helped me, and I can't have more than three guys at once.” “That's bull–” Lexi was cut off by Perseus' palm on her lips.“She was about to say a curse word,” Perseus said. Lexi began humming and, at the same time, glaring at Pe

Zeppelin showed no emotion. “I heard the kids talking about him, and I asked about him. Why?” Perseus bit his lips. “Are you sure?” “Where else am I supposed to hear his name from if it isn't from the kids?” [Why do I feel like he is lying?] Iris asked as she peered at Perseus.Perseus glanced at Iris. “I had my suspicion that he could see you from the start, but you said that it wasn't possible.” Iris nodded. [It's impossible.][I was talking about him lying about hearing the man's name from the kid.][He had probably seen the man before today.]“Alright.” Perseus told Zeppelin. “I thought you had met him before.” “Or if I was involved in his crimes.” Zeppelin joked with a small laugh, but Perseus frowned. “Not funny then,” Zeppelin muttered. Lexi's gaze shifted from one person to another. “So, what makes you think that there was something wrong with this place, Zep?” “It's Zeppelin.” “Whatever. Go on. What made you think that?” Zeppelin glanced around as if someone were goi

“Well, we are asked to do as they say, and if anyone disobeys, They won't be found the next day,” Jose said, her eyes scanning the place. “I shouldn't be telling you this, but there is a book where she stores all the names of all the kids.”Perseus listened with keen attention as Jose continued. After listening, Perseus concluded. The kids were either being adopted or trafficked. He just had to be sure about it.“Does she hit you?” Jose flinched at the question. “Yes. Sometimes. He also said that if we told anyone about it, we would have a lesser chance of being adopted.” “Can I see the file?” Perseus asked. Jose nodded and rose to her feet. “Come with me.”Perseus followed Jose. She opened the store room and walked in, then pulled open another door inside and stepped in. Perseus was stunned; he had no idea there was a door there when he looked.“This is where the files have been kept,” Jose announced as she grabbed a flashlight from the wall. As soon as Perseus fell into step wi

Lexi took the logo from him and glanced at it. “How do we do that?” Luke was already taking his leave. He didn't want to interfere in Lexi's and Perseus' investigations. “Since you have gotten these workers arrested, we will take them for questioning.”Lexi nodded. “Okay, Luke. Thanks.”“It's your vacation, after all.” Luke winked at her before leaving. [It sounds like someone is terrified of taking this case. That's why he is leaving it to us.]'Right, but he can still help by questioning them.’[I guess so.]Perseus glanced at Iris. “How do we find the owners of this logo?” [On it, host. This costs 12 full stat points.]Iris scanned the logo. [It belongs to the River Gang.][Tracing the location costs one point per minute.][Are you ready to go?]“Let me see.” Zeppelin appeared out of nowhere and snatched the logo from Lexi.“Hey–”“It belongs to the River Gang,” Perseus announced, making Lexi freeze. “What? The Rivers?” Lexi questioned. Perseus nodded. “Why do you look bewild

A grin spread across HX's face. “Fine, since you are persistent, I won't hold back either.” Perseus smiled. “How about we make a deal? The loser would belong to the winner.” HX liked the sound of that. “I can't wait to make you my slave.”Fanny got off the ground and hurried over to the ring, but he was pulled back by three men, and in a few minutes he was in the middle of the audience. “I am the one that is supposed to be on that ring. Not him!” Fanny cried out, but no one was listening to him.The mood is charged with excitement and tension as spectators eagerly await the upcoming fights, their voices murmuring in hushed anticipation.“HX! HX!” The crowd cheered. HX widened his arms in the air and grinned from ear to ear as everyone chanted his name. “Fanny had been kicked out of the ring, and his fight is being postponed to another day!” The announcer yelled.“HX has been challenged by a man named?” He glanced at Perseus expectantly.“Rouka!” Zeppelin announced through glintin
