“That brat has done enough damage already!” Mr. Sullivan slammed his fists against the table. “He usually gets away with everything that I set for him.”Almond shook his head. “I would suggest we stop going after him. Instead, let's be allies. It's all Roman's fault that we got into this mess.Roman glared at Almond. “Are you blaming me? That man beat up your brother, but you are saying that!”“He beat me too, didn't he? Well, you are not the one in a wheelchair, are you? If you hadn't stolen his girlfriend and left him one, We wouldn't be in this condition.”“What about my fingers?” Roman inquired. “That bastard broke then, and I can't do anything with it.” Scarlett found the argument irritating but managed to conceal her disgust. “He is the largest shareholder of our restaurant, even though it was my family's business.”“Larger shareholder?” Mr. Sullivan was stunned. “Roman, didn't you say that he is an ordinary student?!”“That doesn't matter, does it?” Scarlett said. “He managed
Perseus was the one who kicked the man in the face and caught his wristwatch in his hand before it hit the ground. “Hey there, did my kick have so much effect?” Perseus asked. The man was lying on the floor, with the remaining three men watching over him. “Boss, are you alright?” “Why are you still standing there?” Perseus asked. “Your boss is unconscious.”Perseus took a step forward, and the men backed away. “Fuck off!” The three men didn't hesitate; they ran off as fast as they could. Perseus clasped the watch on his wrist and turned his gaze back to his friends. “How are you so strong?” Tobias asked. “I haven't seen you attend training or anything.”Perseus ran his hand through his hair; he couldn't tell them about the systems giving him abilities and making him work out more. “My dad taught me before he died.” He lied. “And how old were you that it stuck with you for years without practice?” Tobias inquired. “Woah, you don't even know my name then, and what happened to y
Perseus asked for the price of another vase. “$120,000.” The saleswoman responded. Perseus used his index finger to push the vase to the ground. “Oops!”The vase crashed, and Felix's teeth gritted. “We can keep going with this game, and I will see how far you can play!” Perseus smirked. “Sure, let's see who wins.” “Trash!” Felix grabbed three classes, and without asking for the prices, he smashed them.Perseus picked up other vases, and soon there were no vases there to smash. Perseus couldn't stop grinning.“Are you giving up now?!” Felix asked. Perseus shook his head. “No way! Get me the most expensive wine in this restaurant!” The salesman did as he was told and brought the wine. Perseus heard it and was about to smash it.“Get me a dozen of the most expensive wines in this restaurant!” Felix yelled. By this time, Felix's date was already pleading with him to stop what he was doing, but he shoved her without realizing it. She lost her balance and collided with the ground on
“Dad–”The call ended, and Felix knew that his father would be there anytime soon. Felix's eyes were rounded; there weren't any big shots next to him, but then he saw Perseus smirking at him.It was then that he realized that it was Perseus who had done that to him. Although he didn't want to apologize, his father was going to kill him.“I was wrong!” He threw himself at Perseus' feet. “I had no idea that you were a big shot!” Perseus glanced at him. “You have to apologize to my friend for asking him to kneel after he apologized to you.”Without hesitation, Felix crawled all the way to Orion's feet. He grabbed Orion's feet and stared up at him.“I was wrong; forgive me. Tell him to stop attacking our company!”Orion was too embarrassed to see Felix apologize to him. Everyone's gaze was on them, and Orion didn't like that.“Get up; I forgive you.” A smile appeared on Felix's face. “Really?” "Yes, but that doesn't mean that I will ask him to stop attacking your company.” Orion's lip
The next day, Perseus was walking down the hall to class. It was a mathematics class, and he was ten minutes late. After that incident at Haven Heaven, he had gone out with Orion and Tobias at another place, and that made him head to bed late.Sherry and Eris had tried to wake him up, but he had gone back to sleep, and by the time he woke up, he had dressed and gone on his morning run. He was already late.Ms. Tisha must have been in class. He got to the class and walked in. Ms. Tisha was already there; she had her nose buried in a book that she hadn't even seen him enter.“Good morning, professor.” Perseus greeted. She raised her head from the book. She had eye bags and looked so tired. “Head to your seat, Perseus. Today's class is self-taught learning.” That's odd. Perseus headed for his seat, which was next to Zeppelin. “Did something happen?” Zeppelin asked as soon as Perseus sat down. “Huh?” Perseus asked, not knowing what Zeppelin was talking about. He turned his head to s
“Give it to her,” Perseus replied. Iris did as she was told, and the liquid was injected into Emily, who only rubbed the spot.“Weren't you the one who always criticized Perseus for what he wore? I didn't pay attention to him at first, but you always spoke about him. You said that you were the one who asked Celia to date him so that she could break his heart and make him miserable.” Sherry began. “You always had things to say about him, even though I asked you to stop.” Sherry's eyes darted, and they met Laura's in the room as she was trying to hide. “You were the one who also told everyone about the condition of Laura's family.”Emily grinned. “I never thought anyone would notice! Hahaha.” She covered her lips, realizing that she had said it out loud.“I was right; we were the ones, and you made her think it was me!” Emily nodded. “That's right; after all, she was using you for your money in the first place, and her goal was to make you get married to her brother. As your husband,
Perseus held the list in his hand. It was already night. He had just finished writing all the names of Sherry's exes. He knew that the system didn't tell him to take revenge on Emily alone. He had taken care of Laura, but that doesn't mean that he was done. Laura might be a future threat to Sherry. Perseus had seen Laura forcing Sherry to get married to her brother but never thought of her goal. [Might be a future threat, 100%]Sherry also didn't tell him a thing about what happened between them. She didn't trust him enough yet.It was like all of her exes knew that they would be able to use her for money, but he changed his mind. Her ex-boyfriends were probably rich guys since her circles were wealthy people. [Wealthy, 0%][Rich, 50%][Average, 50%]However, Emily wasn't from a rich family. She was known to use her friends as money-making machines and steal their boyfriends for money too.The first thing he had to do was investigate Emily, and he was going to start tonight. Yes,
“I understand,” Emily said. “I will try to do my best.” Perseus wondered what stain they had on Emily. [Probably one of her evil doings, but it must be the worst.]“All you need is to lure him to that spot, get him drunk, and let them take him.” “Is it fucking hard?” Emily shook her head. “No.” “Good.” “You only have two days to finish it, or we will be in trouble.” Emily's teeth grated. “What about that bitch that scratched my face? I can't let her be!” “Well, we will leave her to you. You can earn back her trust and take care of her, don't you?” “But that isn't enough!” Emily yelled. “I hate her! I have always hated her!” Sherry's grip tightened on Perseus' hoodie. Perseus gave her a reassuring stare. “Then what do you want us to do?” One of the men asked. “I want her dead! She has always taken the good stuff; if you can kill her, I will do whatever you want!” The men exchanged glances, and then a smirk crossed their faces. “Deal, we will take care of her. Just do your
