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
“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
“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'
Josh stared at Perseus. “Are you going to leave because I am here?” Perseus shook his head and raised his hand to invite the waiter over. “I am not leaving because of you; I wanted to eat with Tobias and Orion.” Josh looked stunned. Perseus had always avoided him after glaring at him in high school. A smile crossed his face. “That would be nice.” Then a smirk appeared on his face. “Everyone is paying for their dinner,” Perseus announced.Bella looked uncomfortable after hearing that. “Josh said that he was going to settle the bills; he has more than enough money to spend.” [I guess you are not going to take revenge on one, but two.]Josh nodded his head in agreement. “Yes, I said I was paying.” He gave Perseus a look that said, ‘’Can you beat that?’“I suppose that you will be paying for my dish alongside my friends too.” Perseus said, not giving Josh the expression he was hoping for. Josh nodded. “I will be more than glad to do that.” [What a lying duck!] Iris muttered. [Jos
