Timtat stood his ground as a punch hit his face, sending him moving backward. He coughed and spit out blood, turning his gaze to Seth and wiping the blood from his chin with the back of his palm.Seth had a wide grin on his face. Timtat had been blocking his attacks for a long time, and this was the first hit that had gotten through. Seth admitted that Timtat was strong. Although Timtat was a pure human without the help of technology or advanced chemical substances, he was still formidable.According to Seth, Timtat was the strongest man he had come across who had worked hard to gain his power without using cheat sheets.“I like you,” Seth said, cracking his knuckles. “You don’t seem to know when to back down, and your loyalty to your cousin is admirable.”Timtat took another stance, this time, his fingers were not curled into a fist. He was trying to control the flow of blood in his body to stop his nose from bleeding.“I can’t say the same for you,” Timtat replied.“I know, right,”

“What are you doing?” a voice demanded. “Are you planning on killing them?”Seth's hand paused, and he glanced back. The person who had spoken was Perseus. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Perseus’s new appearance, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.“You're here?” Seth questioned. “You look different—how is that even possible?”Timtat stared at Perseus, his eyes wide in disbelief. At first, he hadn’t recognized him, but he quickly realized it was indeed Perseus. “Boss?” he asked.The remaining three faces brightened upon seeing him. They had thought it was the end for them, but he had shown up at the last moment.“It’s been a while, Perseus. Actually, I came here to meet you. Your parents didn’t take me lightly when I came. All they did was send their bodyguards after me.”Perseus’s brow rose. “You came here to find me? How did you find them? You could have found me if that’s what you wanted.”Seth glanced at the men he had beaten. “Are these your men?”“Yes, they a

Perseus and Timtat boarded the plane bound for Perseus’s home country. There were matters to settle with Xell, and he needed to find a safer place for his family. Despite Timtat’s injuries, the pill Perseus had given him had worked wonders, easing the pain considerably. Timtat sat by the window, staring out at the endless sky, lost in thought.Perseus’s hair remained stark white, his eyes still mismatched in color—one more side effect of his fusion with Lint that he hadn’t yet figured out how to undo.[You couldn't run back to the country because you exhausted your speed and energy,] Iris’s voice echoed in his mind.A panel appeared in front of him, displaying his depleted energy levels—0%. He’d only managed to get them on this plane by spending a small fortune. A little money which was three times the flight ticket. They had been lucky that he had a system to get their visas and passports.‘I won’t do that again,’*Perseus thought, rubbing the small of his back. ‘That speed took too

Perseus opened the live streaming app and went live, joining the duel with Sherry. Both their faces appeared on the viewers' screens.On the other hand, Sherry gasped at the sight of Perseus, her cheeks flushing. He looked just as handsome as before, if not more so."How handsome," Sherry muttered to herself. "When did he dye his hair?" She shook her head and began speaking to the growing audience.Back at the restaurant, Perseus watched Sherry as she engaged with the viewers. Several comments were popping up, and she was replying to them. Most of the questions were about his new look.A few recognized him, but others didn’t. Perseus noticed one of the comments: "Why does he look so different from before?""He got a new look," Sherry replied with a smile. "Isn’t he handsome?""He is handsome, Sherry," another comment read.[+10 points.]Perseus glanced at the panel indicating that points had been added. He sighed; he still needed to reach 500 points."What’s the second color of his ey

Ven glared at Kara. “How did it add up to that?”Kara didn’t say a word to argue; she simply pointed at all of the empty bowls next to their table. “You guys ate 50 bowls in total, and I told you the price was $100 per bowl.”Vin held out his hand to stop Ven, who was about to argue. “Why waste your time?” he questioned. “You know we ate with the intention of not paying.”“What do you mean?” Kara demanded. “Are you saying you’re not going to pay for what you just ate?”Vin nodded. “Positive.”Kara scowled. “You wouldn’t dare!”Ven's brows rose in astonishment. “What the hell? How dare you speak to our boss like that?”Kara held her head high as Ven glared at her, trying to intimidate her. However, his look didn’t work, and she stood her ground.“Card or transfer?” Kara questioned.“Didn’t you hear what we just said?” one of the remaining three demanded. “We’re not paying for anything we ate here!”“It’s not like this restaurant will exist after this,” Ven added.Kara glared at them, t
