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
Perseus pulled Sherry behind him as the men stepped down from their cars. The men were so many that Perseus couldn't count. It was then that he noticed it wasn't a car but a minivan, and one of the men that they had seen yesterday was there too.Emily's order, brother. Each of the men was holding a baseball bat and a metal rod. “Hand over the girl, and we will let you off.” The man said.[Nex, the first elder brother of Emily.]“What made you think that I would let her go just because you asked me to?” Perseus inquired. Nex grinned. “I'm giving you a chance to think, but you are ready to throw it all away by standing up.” His gaze met Sherry's, and she flinched. “For her?” “She is important,” Perseus responded. “How would you feel if I took away your sister, just to kill her?” “She is nothing to me to begin with,” Nex claimed. “So, let's stop beating around the bush. Why don't you hand her in and make things easy for us?”Perseus glanced back at Sherry, and she had this look in
Soon, Lexi was there, and Perseus was leaving the car with Sherry still in his arms and her arm wrapped around his neck. Lexi cleared her throat as soon as she saw them. “Lexi!” Sherry glanced at Lexi with a pout on her lips. “Have you caught the criminals?” “Yes.” Lexi's gaze was avoiding Perseus, and he knew it. “Can you come to the station to give the details of what happened?”Sherry stared up at Perseus as if waiting for permission. “Sure,” Perseus replied bluntly. Sherry got down and hurried over to Lexi. She peered at Lexi. “Did you get the last guy?” “Why don't we head to the station first? We will talk about it there.” ****“We have evidence for all that happened,” Perseus said as he placed the flash drive containing everything he had collected. “The Sullivans are at it again. Why can I just have peace?”Lexi took the drive and asked the officer next to her to hand her a laptop, which he did. The officer was dismissed, and it was left with the three of them in the room
“I'm fine, Sherry, and I wasn't born with it, Lexi.''[I have finished getting proof of Emily's crimes.][The file has been transferred to your phone.][You owe the system 34 full stats points and 4000 points.]“This is the file of the stain on Emily.” Perseus said as he transferred it to Lexi's phone. “I sent it to your phone.” Lexi gave him a long, suspicious stare. “How did you get it?” “I have my ways. I contacted someone, and they were able to get it for me.” “Who are you?” Lexi asked.“Let's not talk about this now.” Perseus grumbled. Lexi's gaze shifted to Sherry.“Are you free this weekend?” Sherry asked Lexi. “Yes, why?” “Can we hang out?” Sherry's eyes glittered. “Just the two of us.” Lexi glanced at Perseus, and he gave her a thumbs up. “Fine.” Sherry beamed. “I will tell you where we are headed when it is the weekend.” “Okay.” Lexi escorted the both of them to their cars and waved them goodbye. “Text me if you have anything else to say, Mr. Damon.” “Sure.” Perse
Perseus noticed that Nick's hand was broken. He remembered he only punched Nick and didn't expect Nick to come back with a broken hand.“You think I have forgotten what you did?!” Nick yelled. “I was only talking to you, but you beat me. The worst part of it all was that you broke my arm and left the rest. You did it intentionally!”.“I was late for class.” Perseus responded. “My ass!” “I don't think you are ready to do this.” “Do what? What is that supposed to mean?”Perseus peered at Nick. “I am late for class again, and the professor doesn't like anyone being late to her class.”Nick teeth gritted. “Are you looking down on all of us here?” Perseus glanced at all the men that were surrounding him. A few faces there were familiar, while he didn't know the others. They were a lot.[They are just 20. That a piece of cake for you. You have speed.]Perseus nodded. “That's right, Iris.”“I told you to let go of Sherry, but you didn't! She stood up for you yesterday and got into a figh
Perseus ran his hand through his hair without a number as he waited to hear an explanation from Lexi. She was still busy getting an explanation from the ladies. After she had handcuffed Sherry and the girls, She had left with them, and Perseus went after them, but he hadn't gotten to see Lexi. [Sherry is innocent.][Perhaps she helped them without realizing it.][They were still friends when it happened, I guess.]Perseus paced back and forth. Lexi had arrested them in public, and that was going to ruin Sherry's reputation. Just then, the interrogation room opened, and Lexi stepped out. Her eyes met Perseus. “Can we talk?” Perseus nodded.She led Perseus to her office, and when they got there, they sat down. “Sherry is innocent.” He blurted out.“She was only a suspect, but after interrogating them, We found out that she was innocent. I had no idea what Emily took; she couldn't lie at all. They were best friends back then, but she had no hand in what happened.”[Guess our truth p
[DING! DONG!][The first man has been caught.] 1/3]Perseus was just heading out of class after his lecture when the panel appeared in front of him. Iris was lying on top of the panel with a smile on her face. [You have been granted seven stat points, and they have been used to recover the debts that you owe the system.]Perseus guessed that the cops were here, and the man he had taken care of was already arrested. He sighed. Lexi would never find out that it was him.“Oh, you are done with class!” Lexi's voice made Perseus jump. “What are you doing here?” Perseus demanded as he regained his composure. “I saw what you did.” Perseus decided to play dumb. “What did I do?” “You helped your professor get that man, didn't you?” Perseus shook his head. “What professor?” “Don't play dumb.” Lexi glared at him before reaching out and putting a golden medal on him. Perseus was taken aback. “What's this?” “It’s a golden medal for a good citizen, and the medal indicates that you are part
