"Yes, it is,” Dickson replied with a smile. “I met with the president of the company, and it wasn’t like everyone had thought. He was kind and quite understanding, too. It was so bad that our grandfathers had a misunderstanding between them. However, it has nothing to do with us, so we made up.” Perseus noticed that Dickson skipped the part about introducing him as the president of J.K. If he had done that, then their plans would have been ruined. But he knew that he had to be done before the old man showed up.The manager smiled so brightly that the side of his lips almost touched his ears. “That’s perfect! I had always wondered when it was going to clear up. Thank goodness you became the CEO; if not, I wouldn’t have seen this beautiful moment.“When do you intend to invite the president of J.K. to our company to check it out? We can’t do the same because the company is flawless. I would like to be his tour guide on that day.”Just like an open book, the manager couldn’t hide his ex

“Aren’t you hearing me?” Old man AfterEnd yelled again. “I know you’re in there, so you better open the door, or I’ll let my men kick it open. It’s not like it’s hard to buy another.”Mr. AfterEnd stood just in front of the door, a tall man with graying hair and a stern expression. He had seven men with him: five bodyguards, a man in a suit that looked much like Dickson, and one with a cocky smile on his face, eager to start breaking down the door.“Don’t you dare ignore me! Get out right now if you don’t want to regret it,” Mr. AfterEnd added.The cocky guy stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. “Why wait for them? I could easily get the door open and take us inside. Perhaps your grandson was threatened by him and might be held hostage. You can’t tell.”Mr. AfterEnd shook his head. “That’s impossible. Dickson is too stupid to be held hostage. That’s why I picked him as the CEO in the first place—he wouldn’t notice I was using him and wouldn’t even notice the things happening in the

“Stop!” Loom yelled, lunging at Perseus, his fist clenched tightly. “Stop whatever you are doing to him.”Perseus saw the direction of the punch and quickly dodged. The swift move surprised Loom and the others. Mr. AfterEnd was particularly stunned; Perseus had not only made him reveal secrets he didn’t want to but also dodged a punch that no one had ever evaded before.“How could he have dodged Loom’s punch?” Vania asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty. “Isn’t Loom skilled in various martial arts?”Loom threw another punch, and again, Perseus dodged it with ease.“How is that possible?” Loom muttered to himself.“What’s wrong?” Perseus asked, his brows rising. “Are you terrified that I was able to dodge your punch?”[Good for you for underestimating my host when you both had just met,] Iris chimed in, her focus on Loom. [You should level up your skills before you go against my host.][Hmph.]Loom’s face darkened. All eyes were on them now. Perseus had humiliated him by dodging

“Now!” Mr. AfterEnd yelled.The smoke polluted the environment, blinding everyone in the room. The brightness suddenly turned dark. It was more like the device concealed the light and created darkness.It felt more like an illusion than reality. Perseus waved his hand in front of his face.[Night Eyes has been activated.][Since the smoke has caused a partial night, you can use the ability to see through the darkness.]Just as Iris said, Perseus was able to see through the darkness. He looked around the room.Everyone had a glow around them, and the smoke looked like thin wires spread all over the place.Vania was still being held by Timtat. Dickson and Iva were standing next to each other, their gazes focused on the smoke.The five bodyguards who activated the device were being taken down by Loom. Despite the darkness, Loom was managing to handle them.Then Perseus scanned the place for Mr. AfterEnd, but he was no longer in the room.He had taken the chance to escape. Perseus dashed

Perseus walked in through the front door, his eyes scanning the place for the sight of Sherry. Seeing that she might be upstairs, he walked up the stairs. After reading the message, he excused himself and left.For safety reasons, he had decided to keep the message away from Eris. He could tell that she was angry, and adding that would make her even worse.“Sherry!” He called out to her, pushing the door Lexi was at, and hurried in.Sherry glanced back at him; she was sitting on the bed with Lexi. “Oh, you are home.”His gaze trailed toward Lexi. She had a colored pencil in her hand, and she was scrubbing them on a sheet of paper. “What do you mean by saying she is behaving strangely?” Perseus asked, stepping closer to her and glancing at Lexi.His eyes widened when he saw her doing some children's drawings on the paper. The shapes were weird, and it was a drawing that looked like it was made by a six-year-old.“Since she woke, she had been acting like a six-year-old. I knew that fro
