He followed all the instructions that were given by the system, and in a few minutes, he was done. At the same time, Timtat was pulling up in front of the hospital. Although Iris had told him Sherry was going to be awake in three hours, He still wanted to let her stay at the hospital; it was going to be better for her. After dropping her off for the doctors to attend to her, he waited in the waiting room for the test to be done.Timtat was standing at the end of the room. His head lowered, waiting for Perseus to scold him, but Perseus paid no attention.The poison was a harmful one. She was poisoned with Vaintart. [It is usually mixed with something liquid to function well.]I am currently hacking into the surveillance footage in front of the store. [Wait a little bit.]Perseus waited patiently until Iris was done. The panel appeared in front of him with a video of what happened. His fist tightened when he watched what happened; no wonder she looked so familiar to him.She had been t

“Here you are. For a second, I thought you weren’t going to come.” Zeppelin said as soon as Perseus walked into the restaurant.Wearing a cross bag, Perseus looked exhausted as he approached them, and they noticed it. He had booked a reservation, and now they had a private place to talk and eat.Since it was night, the light in the room was bright. Their table was next to the large glass that overlooked the city.He walked towards them and took his seat, which was in between them. “Why were you late?” Lexi asked. Perseus glanced at his wristwatch; he didn’t realize he was late until he found Lexi and Zeppelin at the table. He was twenty minutes late."Sorry, I am late.” He apologized, choosing to ignore Lexi’s question.“Did you run into an old friend?” Zeppelin questioned.Seeing that both curious eyes were piercing through him, he knew he couldn’t keep quiet about it anymore.“Far from it. Sherry won’t let me leave after she wakes up. She wanted to know what happened and how I sav

“Didn't you pay us to use this room for 24 hours?” Lexi asked. “I did. I also asked them to make sure there was a bed in it.” He said, looking past her to the double beds in the room. “I think we might have unpleasant visitors,” Zeppelin said. “I chose to ignore them.”The knock on the door was getting harder and harder. It was like the person on the other side would break down the door if they refused to open it. Not able to beat the noise, Perseus rose to his feet. “I will get the door. Keep the book safe.” “Are you serious?” Zeppelin stood too. “You don't know what is behind that door, and you are heading to open it.” “It's better than letting them break it. Isn't it?” Perseus replied. “Trust me, I will be fine; all you have to do is keep the books safe.” Lexi nodded before grabbing the journal. “Okay.”Zeppelin wanted to protest, but he knew it was of no use talking to Perseus about it. Tension and anticipation rose in the air as Perseus walked to the door and unlocked it wi

That time, Perseus was falling to the ground. Zeppelin and Lexi watched him fall, but they couldn’t do anything about it because they had to worry about themselves. It was getting harder to hold onto the man’s attack; he was so fast, and Zeppelin was getting tired with each passing minute.Not only was he tired, he was bleeding from his arm. Yet, the man was still as fast as he was. Zeppelin clutched his arm as Lexi fought the man on her own. Though he was worried about Perseus, he knew that he had his injuries and had to help Lexi.She had cuts on her shoulder and was bleeding from them, but her hand still swung fast, like the cut was nothing.Tearing his clothes, he wrapped them around his injured arm to stop the bleeding. He glanced at Lexi; she was trying to hold back the man's attacks, their knives pressing against each other.The knife disconnected, and they both moved backward. Lexi’s legs almost refused to hold her, but she managed to stand straight with the knife still in her

Two gazes held him. He thought for a while; he had no other excuse to give. He knew Lexi was going to get more suspicious of him and might end up figuring out what he was hiding.“I thought it did,” Perseus responded. “I just searched through it and pulled it out.”“Hmm,” Zeppelin muttered. Perseus gulped, but he proceeded to help Lexi treat her injury. He had just cleaned up the injury when Sherry returned with the first aid box, her rapid footsteps echoing through the living room as she hurried to Perseus's side."Here's the box," she announced breathlessly, setting it down beside him. "What else can I do to help?"Perseus sighed. He was glad that she had come to his rescue, but her eyes settled on the other first aid box that he had with him before she arrived. He knew he was doomed if she asked about it. That was going to show that there wasn’t any box there like he had claimed.‘Crap.’“Where did this box come from?” Sherry asked. “I would have known if there was a first aid kit
