“You called them, didn't you?!” Vin yelled. “I thought we had a deal. We will take your money and leave your restaurant, and you won't tell!”Perseus shrugged. “Yes. Our deal is still intact.”Vin glared at him. “How the hell is it still intact when the cops are here to arrest us for that very thing?! You are the only one who knows about it!”A mischievous grin spread across Perseus’ face. “I kept my part of the deal and told no one about the embezzlement, but you seemed to forget that there was a woman next to me when we were talking.”Perseus gestured to Kara, who was standing next to him. She had a phone in her hand, and Vin glanced at her. Seeing the phone in her hand, Vin realized that she was indeed the one who had called the cops on them.“You bitch!” Vin yelled, lunging at Kara in an attack mode.However, she was faster than she looked. She twirled and kicked him right in the head, the impact pushing him to the side. Using her other leg, she kicked him again from the other ang

Soon, Perseus was back in the basement. Kara was glancing at Xell, whose right cheek was swollen. Perseus stared at Timtat, who shrugged as if to say he couldn’t stop her from hitting Xell.“I didn’t tell you to hit him yet, Kara,” Perseus mumbled.She spun around to look at him. “He didn’t want to talk about it. I asked him so many questions, and he just kept staring at me. I punched him in the face when he didn’t respond.”Perseus ran his hand through his hair. “I didn’t ask you to hit him, though.”“I know, and I’m not sorry,” Kara said, folding her arms and stepping away from Xell. “To think that I tried to trust him and let down my guard is crazy,” she ranted.Stepping closer to Xell, Perseus squatted, his eyes level with Xell’s.“So, what were you about to tell us earlier?”“Seth is not the only boss. Several other men act like the boss and get information directly from the real boss. None of us know who the boss is or what he looks like because he has never shown himself.”Perse

“Calm down,” Perseus mumbled, holding her tight as she tried to push on his arm and break free.If he hadn’t caught her, she would have attacked the man and beat the hell out of him.“Let me go! How dare he add me to his lame bet? Did he think a woman was a material that could be traded? Is he dating a woman and having the mentality that he has the right to give her up like that?” Kara was furious, and it showed.Perseus still refused to let her go even after what she said. She struggled to break free again, but it didn’t work, and she finally gave up.“Is she that feisty?” the man asked. “I like taming feisty women and making them submissive.”Perseus’s eyes darted to the man. The man licked his lips while looking at Kara like she was a snack, and that irritated Perseus.“What do you say?” the man questioned. “Are you playing the game or not? You will take the money and other valuables if you win, but if you fail, I will have the woman.”The man had a smirk on his face. His head was

At the mention of the word "GO," Samll threw himself into the water and began swimming as fast as he could. Perseus, on the other hand, took his time before diving into the water.The cool water touched his skin as he opened his eyes and began swimming. Samll's hand was visible as he swam.Perseus, on the other hand, swam down to the floor, almost invisible to the people watching him. Iris was next to him, having changed into a swimsuit, and was swimming right beside him.Samll had a grin on his face and, in a few minutes, he couldn't stop thinking about how he'd have Kara all to himself after the contest was over.Finally reaching the end, he pulled his head out of the water, his grin widening as he glanced back in Perseus' direction to see if he was still there.To his surprise, Perseus was nowhere to be seen. The water was empty, and there was no one swimming nearby. A confused look crossed his face as he wondered if Perseus had been so terrible at swimming that he drowned.Then he

Perseus glared at Iris. He could have rejected the offer to join the other gamers at the event, but the system left him no choice. He wasn’t interested in the reward; the punishment alone was enough to force him into it.[You also have to call Eris and get them all back here. She’ll help you prepare for the event. This isn’t like the fight she did before,] Iris reminded him.Perseus turned his gaze to Bobby. “Eris will be back before the event. I’ll call her now to get ready to return.”A smile crossed Bobby’s face, relieved that Perseus had overlooked his earlier remarks.“That’s great,” Bobby said excitedly. “I’ll contact the other side and let them know we’re participating. This could also be a good time to advertise the game you made with Eris.”“We’re not done with the game yet,” Perseus replied. “I can’t advertise something that isn’t finished.”Bobby shook his head. “You can continue developing the game while advertising it. By the time it’s ready, there will be a ton of people
