My Money Spendrift System Chapter 115_Sherry Meets Lexi.
“I'm so sorry.” Lexi apologized for the seventh time as she wrapped a piece of clothing she had gotten from her shirt around his palm. Timtat said nothing but just let her do what she wanted with his palm. Perseus pulled off his jacket and placed it on Lexi's shoulder. He glanced at her and found a guilty expression on her face. She raised her head toward him. “I'm sorry for injuring him.” Perseus raised his hand and stroked her head. Lexi was a redhead, and he got that feeling from her hair that he hadn't gotten from anyone else. Her hair felt like he was stroking a cat. Her face turned red as she raised her hand and placed it on his. “If you keep on saying sorry, he is going to get sick of it. Besides, he seems to forgive you.” Lexi's eyes brightened. “You think so? He hadn't shown any reaction.” “He doesn't show any reaction.” Her green eyes had a shade of sadness in them. “He was like my brother too.” Perseus gave her a questioning look, but she was unwilling to s

Perseus was done tending to Lexi's injury and was returning the first aid box when Sherry peeked through that door. “What's it, Sherry?” Perseus asked. Lexi raised her head to look at Sherry, and as soon as their eyes met, Sherry beamed, but Lexi looked away. “I was wondering if our guest could eat something. I prepared something.” Sherry muttered. Perseus’ gaze shifted to Lexi. “Would you like to eat?” Lexi nodded vaguely, as if she had no other choice. [Ding!][Lexi's trust level is currently at 80%.][The mission will be completed if you can get the rest of the 20%.]Perseus peered at the panel, and the trust level added up real quick. He shifted the panel to see what else it had to say. [Another reward will be added if the host completes the mission as soon as possible.]Perseus liked the sound of that. As they made their way towards the dining room, Perseus pondered what he could get. The fight with the killers has shown him that he wasn't strong at all. He wondered what

“Someone from the highest rank must have hired them because they are really expensive when it comes to hiring them. The only person who was your enemy was Sullivan's and then Xavier's young miss.” “Are you saying they hired the killers to get rid of me?” She shook her head. “No, I don't think they can afford to hire such a big organization. They are not that rich to hire such an experienced killer. We are dealing with someone wicked and cruel; I wonder how you got to offend him.” Perseus thought for a while. “I'll tell you all the people I might have offended, but you have to keep quiet about it. It would be a secret between us. Also, Sherry is a terrible cook; don't tell her I said that.”Lexi's trust level is 92%.“Okay.” Perseus began listing the names of everyone who might want him dead, and by the time he was done, Lexi was nodding.“I will look into it and protect you.” She muttered with a serious look on her face. Perseus raised his hand and stroked her head. “I know you w
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 118_Antique Street.
“I will help you,” Perseus told Tobias. “I will help you pick genuine antiques.”Tobias was stunned. “Really?” “I thought you had no idea what an antique is,” Orion said. “All the time that Tobias has been dying to get into that antiques business, You had no interest; in fact, I thought you hated it all in particular.” “Huh?” Perseus was both confused and surprised. “He talks about antiques in the past.” “I knew it!” Orion stated. “You had no idea that he wanted this all from the beginning.” Tobias was more interested in hearing Perseus answer his question.“I thought it was one of those shabby businesses he invested in. I never knew that it was antiques, and you are right, I hate the business even though everyone claims it is great.”The truth was that Perseus had no idea that it was antiques that Tobias loved. Perseus only thought it was the shabby business that Tobias always claimed was going to change their lives, but he took all of their savings instead. Orion nodded. "Yeah,

$500?! Tobias and Orion's jaws dropped in astonishment as Perseus took down the price of the antique. Perseus waited for Mr. Joe's response. The man stared at him like he had dirt all over his face before his lips parted. “Deal!”Perseus handed a $500 bill to the man, who waved them off as they left. 'I sold garbage for $500, a fair trade.’ He grinned to himself. Perseus, on the other hand, smirked; he was going to earn a fortune. “Perseus, are you sure that it is genuine? He wouldn't sell it that cheap if it were genuine.” Orion muttered. Perseus stared at Orion. “You are going to know the reason why I bought it soon.” Orion was still worried. “He tricked you; he knew that it wasn't genuine.” Perseus sighed. “Believe me, I know what I am doing.”Orion forced himself to believe Perseus; how could the person who showed no interest in antiques be able to pick them?Tobias wasn't helping either; he was still beaming and excited like an idiot. Perseus was thinking of a way to sell
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 120_Mr. Kim, I Will.
“What do you mean, Mr. Kim?” Perseus asked when he couldn't understand Mr. Kim's odd question.Mr. Kim's frown deepened. “Why did you refuse to help me pick more antiques, but then you helped your friend?” Perseus didn't understand why Mr. Kim was asking that. “He is my friend, and I helped him pick the antiques because he was being scammed.”Mr. Kim peered at him like he could see right through his soul. “Really?” Perseus nodded. “My friend came before anyone else, Mr. Kim, and I refused to come anymore because I don't like the business model and I also have other things to do. I hope you understand.” Mr. Kim took a sip from his mug. “Fine, that wasn't the reason why I called you here.” Perseus' brows arched. “Then what?” “I noticed that you and Eris haven't been working on the game. That was the main reason you were engaged to Sherry. If the game is completed, only then could she break the engagement.”Perseus's lips pressed against each other. He knew that Sherry wouldn't want

Perseus was stunned by the man's words. Although he had anticipated the reaction. “Judging from what you did the other time, I guess that these jade beads are genuine and the red one is fake.” Mr. Joe alleged.Perseus wasn't expecting that; he slightly nodded his head. Mr. Joe had fallen for his trick again and this time, it was going to hurt him more.“Something like that,” Perseus murmured. Mr. Joe grabbed the red beads and tossed them at Perseus, who caught them immediately. “You can have that one for $200; I will take the rest of the four.” Perseus stared at the red beads in his hand. [You have finally acquired the beads. Put it on your wrists, and your strength and agility will be improved.]Perseus did as he was told after sending the money to Mr. Joe, who was grinning widely at him.'I finally got the chance to fool him and got my hands on genuine beads that would earn me a fortune.’ Mr. Joe beamed to himself as he stared at the beads in his hand.Perseus could feel the str

“I second that.” Zeppelin added. Jonas hung his head high. “His girlfriend said that they broke up because their relationship was only a fake one. She also said that the main reason for their breakup was because John was missing a dick.”It was then that Perseus's eyes darted to Jonas. “What is that supposed to mean?” Matt inquired, curiosity written all over his face. Jonas shrugged. “Perseus was right; John went to get his reassignment surgery finished.” Zeppelin sighed. “Can we not talk about this now? John is out of the picture; he wouldn't even be called John in the future, and we wouldn't even recognize him either.” “So cut this crap about John and let's think about our game. He made the decision himself, and we have to forget about him just like he did to us.” Zeppelin added.Perseus looked away from them, and Iris took her position on his shoulder.[Do you think that they will forget about him?]“I doubt that.” Perseus responded. “I've already forgotten about him.” Matt'

Two years later, Perseus was at the airport, having just landed back in his home country after traveling full-time for two years. He hadn’t heard from anyone during that time, as he’d been constantly changing his number while traveling. He had successfully visited 100 countries and would have continued if not for being called home by his aunt.“Perseus!” Sherry’s voice made him flinch as she called out to him.It had been two years since they last spoke. After the game, he had vanished, claiming he wanted to travel.[She waited for you, Iris noted. I doubt the others did.][He glanced at her. <

Perseus smiled at the cheering crowd, then turned his gaze to the other side of the audience. His eyes widened in embarrassment when he spotted his aunt and Eriane, waving an old, embarrassing photo of him.His aunt was cheering louder than the teenage girls around her, almost as if she were a teenager herself.He wondered how she even knew about the game and its location since he hadn’t invited her. He was sure he’d be scolded later, but he didn’t mind. Shifting his attention away from her, Perseus walked to his gaming seat.As soon as they all sat down, Perseus glanced at the opposing team, just centimeters away. Sam, one of the opposing players, grinned at him, then gave Perseus the middle finger and mouthed, "Loser. We all know how terrible you are at gaming. Stop using your handsome face

‘What is my chance of winning now?’ Perseus questioned.Iris glanced at a panel, her eyes widening in shock. [79%][What am I seeing? You have upgraded to level 20 for discovering Forest's secret and finding a way to defeat him.] She squealed.[Is this really true?]A glint of relief slowly washed over Iris. There was hope that Perseus could finally defeat the man who had long wanted his life.[You can beat him now;] Iris claimed. [Just breathe properly.][His skills have been sealed with all of the points you have left. He won’t be able to use them against you anymore.] Iris announced.Perseus glanced at her, and a t

Forest leaned in, his eyes cold and calculating. "This isn't just a fight. It's a battle of life and death. I often wonder why your parents gave the power I wanted most to you. I’ve waited for years to see if you’re worthy of the power you possess. But if this is all you have, then you’re not worthy and are just a piece of useless dirt occupying space."Before Perseus could react, Forest flung him across the room like a ragdoll. Perseus crashed to the ground, pain radiating through his body despite Iris’ efforts to heal him.[Perseus, we can’t keep this up much longer!] Iris warned. [You need to find a way to defeat him, or he’ll—]"I know," Perseus muttered, forcing himself to his feet. His vision blurred, but he refused to back down. "I know, Iris. But I’m not giving up. Not yet."Forest approached him slowly, almost leisurely. "So, what will it be, Perseus? Will you continue to fight and prove yourself? Or will you admit defeat and accept that you’re not ready for this?"“If you ad

[You can! You idiot!] Iris yelled.Perseus snapped out of his thoughts and dodged the attack by moving to the side as quickly as he could. This time, he didn’t hold back his power and unleashed it to the maximum.[Good job.]The man’s eyes glinted with admiration. “Aren’t you a little thing?” he asked. “I get to see someone I can actually fight with without killing them first. This is wonderful. You’re amazing!”Perseus gritted his teeth. The way the man spoke, it was clear he was looking down on him. “What is your name?”The man was taken aback by the sudden question. “Why are you asking your killer their name?”“I just wanted to know the name of the person I’m going to kill before I kill them,” Perseus replied. “Is it that hard?”The man’s lips curled. “Fine. My name is Forest. Not a common name, I guess.”Forest? Perseus’ eyes darted to Iris. ‘Analyze him with the name.’[I am unable to analyze him.] Iris said. [I tried when he arrived, but it was impossible.]“Let’s continue with
Chapter 465_Run
[Your death is near, host.] Iris said, appearing next to Perseus, her gaze fixed on Aera.[Why are you following her? Shouldn’t you be in the game?]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘I should be in the game, but she insisted on treating my injuries first.’[You have to leave her and level up!] Iris cried. [I have no idea what’s happening, but the panel is blinking more furiously than before.][Your death is really imminent! You need to listen to me and run!]‘I’m not running,’ Perseus replied. ‘That man killed one of my family members and went on with his life. Now, he’s come after me, leaving Zeppelin out of the fight. If I run and he can’t find me, he’ll go after Zeppelin and kill him.’Iris’ eyes widened. [If you don’t run, there’s a high chance you’ll die.]‘I know that.’[Why are you with her then?]‘I can’t let Zeppelin face the same fate as our parents.’[It won’t take long for you to reach level 20.] Iris retorted.‘I have something he doesn't have.’[And what’s that?]‘I have you and

Tossing in bed, Perseus looked away from Iris. “You don’t have to apologize, Iris. Even if I were to die, it wouldn’t be today anyway.”Iris scowled at him. [What did you just say?]“I said if I were to die, I wouldn’t—”His words were cut off as an electric current surged through him. The shock was so intense that he trembled all over, and when it stopped, steam was rising from his body.[That’s what you get for thinking about death, host!] Iris bellowed. [Do you know that both Lint and I will be gone if you die? Do you know how many people will be sad when you die?]Perseus flinched and slowly turned to lie on his back. Seeing the annoyed look on Iris’s face made him want to laugh.“I was only joking,” Perseus muttered. “I won’t die. I promise.”[You idiot!] Iris yelled, watching Perseus laugh. [If you die, I will kill you!]“How are you going to kill someone who’s already dead?”Two days later.“Are you ready?” Eris demanded, poking her head through the door to look at her teammat

Ethan handed his phone to Perseus, who glanced at the picture. It was indeed him. They must have gotten it from security footage somewhere.Perseus nodded. “Alright.”“See you later,” Ethan said with a grin. “Don’t go anywhere alone.”“Okay.”Perseus stared at Iris. “I thought I told you to deactivate all of the cameras.”[I did,] she claimed. [I might have forgotten to turn the others off.]Perseus headed for the door since the game of the day would begin soon.[You were wearing a mask though. They wouldn’t be able to recognize you,] Iris said. [There’s nothing to worry about.]Upon reaching the general living room, Perseus met with the others, who were peering at him as if he had something on his face.“You were late, Perseus,” Liliana said.Liliana was standing in front of them with a woman with long lashes next to her. She grinned at Perseus, a smile crossing her face.“I had something to do,” Perseus replied. “I apologize for arriving late.”“No worries,” Liliana said. “Now that
Chapter 462_Back to the Mansion
Perseus turned around to look at the man who had just spoken, ready to throw a punch if necessary.“Are you questioning me?” Cynthia demanded.From the look on her face, she seemed nothing like the woman she was with the leader. Perhaps seeing the man who had made her life a living hell taken by the police had given her some sort of confidence.“Nope,” he replied. “I was just worried if he would be able to lead the girls to his car. They are quite fierce.”“We know that,” Cynthia retorted. “Back to your job.”The men closed the door without any more questions, and Perseus glanced at her. He wanted to ask why she hadn’t let him use his fists but decided against it. In no time, the room was filled with women.Perseus gritted his teeth at the sight of them looking at him with terrified expressions. He wondered what all these women must have gone through to be that scared.“I will be letting them out now,” Perseus told Cynthia.“I will keep watch of the others,” Cynthia said before headin
