“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
Josh gulped down nothing in particular. “That's right, I can handle the bills.”Perseus grinned widely, and the others who were not saying anything began speaking.“Orion, it's been a while.” the girl he had asked out before said. “Have you forgotten me?” Orion's body tensed up, but Perseus placed a hand on his shoulder to signify that he was there for him if anything happened.“Who are you?” Orion asked. “Why are you saying my name like we have spoken to each other before?” Her eyes were rounded. “You! How dare you act like you don't know me?!” “Pardon? Am I supposed to know you? As far as I am concerned, I have never met a girl who has a large front tooth like that of a rabbit.” Orion rasped. Everyone was stunned since they all knew that Orion couldn't stand up against the lady and her boyfriend. Perseus smiled in satisfaction.“Did you just speak to her like that?” Her boyfriend banged his hand against the table. “He is bullying me!” She threw herself against her boyfriend's
“At Least she is leeching off me.” Tina's boyfriend spoke up. “But do you have anyone doing that?” Perseus poured himself some wine. “I forgot to announce it when I came. I am currently engaged and my fiance works.” It was like a shock to everyone as he made that announcement. “How is that possible?!” Josh, Bella, and Harry yelled at the same time. “How can anyone want to get engaged to you?!” Bella asked. Perseus tilted his head to the side. “What made you think that you would be the only one to ask me out? And also, aren't you part of the girls that are willing to get engaged to me?” Bella's teeth gritted. “You are lying!” Perseus' eyes darkened. “What made you think that I am?” “This doesn't make any sense!” Josh bellowed. “It can't be possible that you are engaged! Your family isn't that powerful to get you a good bride. I guess she must be a lowlife like you!” Perseus grinned. “Josh, the mask's off finally.” He was glad Josh was showing his real colors.“A lowlife and a
“Since you are a VIP, you could have gone into the VIP room instead of staying here.” The manager continued. Perseus shrugged. “I came here to sign the documents; however, I bumped into them, and they tried bullying my friends. I hope you can take care of it.”The manager nodded vaguely. “Sure! As long as Mr. Damon is happy. What do you want me to do?”Perseus called out to Iris. “Cast the chats and voice notes on that screen, and I will take care of the rest.”[Right away, host!]The cast appeared on the screen, and everything began playing. Josh was the first one, and Perseus addressed him.“You have always insulted us by calling us poor, but the proof on the screen is the evidence that your family business went bankrupt!” Perseus' eyes were focused on Josh, who was both shocked and scared. “You have been deceiving everyone, and you didn't hesitate to push all the bills on me!”Josh's lips quivered. “How did…”“And you, Harry. After your father blocked your card, you have been slee
Perseus wanted to argue; he had forgotten about the game. “And how could you pick a date without telling me?!” Eris demanded. “We were supposed to practice for a game tournament!”Perseus wiped his hair and was tossing it to the side when Eris caught it. “You are going to catch a cold!” She snapped at him. “Oh.” “Sit down and let me dry your hair while we talk.” Perseus was taken aback by her suggestion. “You want to help me dry my hair; to be honest, I won't catch a cold.” “Do I look like I care?” She glared at him. “I am worried about my sister's fiance catching a cold and making her worried.” Perseus could see through that lie; it was like she was covering her concern by using Sherry as an excuse. So Perseus sat down in the chair in front of the mirror that was there. Eris grabbed the hairdryer and began drying his hair. The only person who had done that to him was his uncle's wife, Gabrielle.“Since you have already agreed that we are heading to the office tomorrow, We can
