Everyone's gaze was focused on the direction of the manager's office. The ladies' attention was on the spot and when the manager didn't come after the countdown. The ladies burst into a fist of laughter.“Who do you think you are?” One of the ladies scoffed. “The manager would be here.”Another mimicked Sherry's voice. “In three, two, one.”That made the ladies' laughter increase; they kept on laughing until tears were leaking through their eyes. Sherry's face reddened in anger, her gaze lingering in the direction of the manager's office.‘Hasn't he seen the livestream?’ She thought.“You are just a spoiled brat who thinks that everything works her way.”“I thought you said the CEO would be here; why isn't he here yet?”The snickers of the ladies furrowed Perseus' brows. He studied the reaction on Sherry's face; she had only wanted to help him, but she was getting insulted instead.She stood her ground with her head hanging high as she waited. Just a little more time, and they would s
Uncle? The word pierced through Perseus; he had never thought that Sherry did that to her own uncle's company because of him. Every other person's jaw dropped in astonishment at the revelation.Sherry sprinted towards the man, whom they called CEO Quinn. She had a bright smile on his face, and as he got to her, he stroked her head.“Why are you here?” He asked. “Why did you give my company such a bad review on the internet?"Sherry stepped back, her fingers clasping and unclasping, and she looked at him nervously. She never knew that her uncle owed LMM; she was a terrible niece. Now that he was here, she could turn the tables. An evil grin spread across her face.“They bullied me!” She turned around and pointed her fingers at the ladies alongside the manager.Fear crowded all of the people that she pointed her finger at. It was then that they realized that they had stepped on the tail of a tiger.The manager was the worst one of them; he fell to his knees. Clutching tightly to his hea
Sherry held his hand as they walked out of the company; her uncle was walking behind them. He had successfully purchased a villa, and the system panel was in front of him.[Current Amount: 54,700,000.][Missions: Important and Side.][Skills: 0]Perseus knew that if he wanted to stand against Roman in the future, he had to at least get a skill. Then he shifted the panel to check for any signs of getting a skill.He halted at the mission panel; the rewards of the mission were large. He was going to earn two skills, one ancient and one defense. He wondered what type of skills he was going to get.Now he wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible. However, he wonders what the system meant by his forming an alliance.Were the missions connected to each other, and he had to complete them all before he got the rewards?[They are connected, yes. Do you have to complete it all to get the rewards? No.]“So I have to take it one step at a time?” He inquired.Iris shook her head. [The mi
Perseus' eyes were rounded in shock; he wasn't expecting the system to reject him. He tried to regain his composure; he had heard about J.K. Entertainment a few times. It wasn't going to be hard for him to guess the name.His eyes scanned the place for any sign of the former president's picture with Mr. Kim, but there was none. Besides, he had no idea what the man looked like.[I can give you clues, and you can figure out the man's name yourself.]He peered at the system. “You think so?”Yes, I am only giving you clues. [You should be grateful and stop giving me that look.]He raised his brows. “What?”[Like you are going to strap the name out of me!]“Then give me the clues.” He shoved the system."Perseus, don't tell me you don't know the name of the former president of J.K. Entertainment.” Sherry muttered.He turned his head to look at her, slightly shaking his head in negativity. He watched as her eyes widened in surprise.“You don't know his name?” The old man inquired.Perseus sh
He glanced at the panel as it displayed the number of stat points that he had. He only had two stat points.[Don't give me that look!][You can exchange the stats points for knowledge.]There are a lot of books here; you can get them using your stats points. [Side note: Each book costs a total of 32 stat points for the start.]Perseus was not intrigued. “What kind of books are they?”[Medical books, gaming books, lifestreaming books, and computer books.][The rest of the books are locked until you get to Lvl 5.]Perseus arched his brows. “What do I have to do to get to level 5?”[I will inform you about it after you complete your third and fourth missions.]“Why can't you tell me?"[It's locked.]He shifted the panel, and through the system words, it was locked. Perseus frowned as Iris grinned at him before taking his position on his head after the panel disappeared.Perseus felt terrible; he had no idea how he could win the game when he had no gaming skills. He didn't have enough stat
Although Perseus was confused, since the system asked him to form an alliance with Quinn, Why was Mr. Kim the one talking about it?“My son is the one taking care of Eris; you are forming an alliance with him. In order for us to support each other, you have to get engaged to one of my granddaughters, and that is Sherry.”Here it comes; it wasn't surprising to him anymore.“I accept the engagement.” Perseus said it without second thought.However, when he glanced at Sherry, she wasn't looking too good. She had a huge frown on her face; she looked like she was going to burst out crying any moment.She rose to her feet and slammed her fist against the table. “I refuse!” She bellowed, startling everyone in the room. “I can't get engaged just to form an alliance! Grandfather, you know how to keep favorites and put me in the dark! I am not getting married to him for Eris sake; she can go to hell for all I care."Perseus was shocked; now the Kim's were kind of complicated. He shrugged, remin
[Host, are you sure leaving Kim's mansion is a great idea? You have to help him pick a genuine antique.]Perseus' eyes darted to the system; he was out of Kim's mansion and was walking down the quiet nights. He had no idea if he was going to get a cab back to him since the place was so remote.Also, he had no idea where Sherry was. He had the key to the villa, and she wouldn't be able to get in without him.“Do I have to help me pick from the ones he is ordering tomorrow?”[Not necessary.]He eyed the system. “All I have to do is get him a genuine antique."[Exactly.]“Is that what the mission is all about?”[Yes.]“Don't you know the reason why I delayed my stay at Kim's mansion?”[No idea.]“I knew you wouldn't.” He was being cocky since the system had no idea.[You stayed till it was late, so he couldn't ask them to come over.]Perseus's eyes widened. “How did you know?”[I can read your thoughts.]“But I wasn't thinking about anything.”[It's all over your face.]Perseus shrugged;
[Alert! Sensing anger coming from the host. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax. You can't get angry at her now.]Perseus clenched his fists, resisting the surge of anger. The unexpected message from Celia, who had let him die, caught him off guard.[You can block her if you want to.]"‘I was thinking about that,’’ Perseus admitted.He began typing on his phone, and when he was done, he was about to press the send button when he changed his mind.She wasn't worth his message.A tight frown appeared on his face as he pressed the block button. He tossed his phone to the side before glancing at Sherry, who was going on and on in the livestream.Rising to his feet, Perseus found Sherry only three steps away. He walked to her and peered at the screen in front of him. Dozens of comments were flooding in.'Is he your boyfriend, Sherry?’'Why does he look familiar?’'Isn't that the psycho who threatened Celia?’'Does he have a thing for livestreamers?’"Sherry, hurry away; will we
