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
Perseus shrugged, and Lexi took out her phone to dial the contact number of another officer. She gave her instructions to protect Ms. Tisha's dad. “I think it's done.” Lexi muttered. Perseus nodded. A few minutes later, they were pulling in front of a house. Lexi glanced back at Ms. Tisha; by this time, Tisha was already looking pale. “You shouldn't have come here with me.” Tisha muttered. “Aren’t they going to threaten you again?” Lexi asked. “I am only doing my job by helping you.” “They might kill me if they find you here with me. What about my father?” “There are a lot of agents around this place. You don't have to be scared; you are in safe hands.” Lexi reassured her. “Just be quiet and let's go.” “Don't you have a plan?” Perseus asked as he glanced back at Tisha. “What do you suggest?” Lexi asked Perseus. [A bait.] “A bait.” Perseus replied. “We could lure them out and get them. Going in might be dangerous, and you might not be able to handle it like I can.” “Ar
Perseus thought about what to do. “As you can see, I am broke, and I just began working for you. That's the lifetime payment I am asking for.” The man thought for a while before gesturing with his head. “Write him the check.” “Transfer would be better.” The man nodded. “Send it to him.” A man came closer to Perseus, and they did that transaction. As soon as the transaction was done, Perseus grinned widely. “Let go of Tisha.” The man ordered. Perseus held Tisha and placed her in front of himself. “Let me get her to you, boss.” Before anyone could blink, Perseus was already in front of the man, with Tisha next to him. He grabbed the man and slammed his head hard against the floor.“Yahhh!” The man yelled as Perseus pulled up his head. The other men lunged at Perseus. He pushed his way through them, and soon they were lying on the floor and grunting. Tisha hurried to his back and clutched him. [You have taken care of them. I'm texting Lexi.]“Thanks, Iris.”[I'm doing what a sy
Perseus was still shielding Lexi. [Ding!][The second man has been caught. ⅔][Immediate healing ability has been granted.][Healing in process.]“Iris.”[Huh?]“Stop the healing.”[What? Are you a serious host? After throwing yourself to save someone, you decided to give up your life?!]“If you heal me, they are going to suspect me, and I don't want my body to be used as a laboratory experiment.” [I never thought of that.][Healing ability has been deactivated.][Pain reduction has been activated.]The pain Perseus was feeling was reduced to the extent that he felt nothing again.“Perseus! Are you alright?!” Lexi's voice brought him back into a trance.Perseus glanced at her. He was lying on his back now, with her looming over him. Luke was there too, and he had a concerned look on his face. “Are you going to ask him that or take him to the hospital?” Luke questioned. “I'm fine. It's only a bullet; we still need to get the third guy.” Perseus said as he sat up. “How many times wa
Lexi stared at Perseus with curious eyes. “You don't have to tell me if you don't feel like it.” “I want to.” He replied.“Go on then.”“My family has a rare gene. We heal after we get injured, but we can stop the healing if we want.”Lexi's eyes bulged out of their sockets. “Hahaha, very funny.” Perseus leaned back against the chair. “You were curious how I was able to survive that accident, weren't you?” “I didn't expect you to tell me this. How am I even going to believe it?” Perseus began unbuttoning his shirt. “I was hit by a bullet, right? You wouldn't find any injuries.” [What if I didn't give you immediate ability? You didn't even ask me to heal you.]Perseus glanced at Iris. “Thanks.” “What are you doing?” Lexi yelled when she found Perseus taking off his shirt. “This is the only way I can prove it,” Perseus muttered before dropping his shirt to the side and turning his back for her to see. By this time, Lexi's face was so red that she wasn't paying attention to the r
“You are always late,” Perseus responded before turning his gaze back to the man who was getting up from the floor. “I think you needed me.” Lexi reputed. “That man was bigger than you think he is.” Perseus glanced at her. "Thanks, but I would be okay on my own. Take care of Tisha.” Perseus walked in the direction of the man, but Timtat was already holding up the man. “She owes him money, and he is only asking her to pay. However, he had threatened her and asked her to be his mistress too if she couldn't afford it.” Perseus informed Lexi. “I already gave him his money, but he is still acting tough.”Lexi glanced at Timtat. “The cops are here now. You can let him go.” The man had been squirming under Timtat's hold, and when Timtat let him go, He rose to his feet and glared at each of them in the room. “You are going to regret this.” The man yelled. Then Lexi pulled out her gun at the same time that Luke was entering with his gun. They both aimed their guns at the man and handcuf
