[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
“Hey,” Zeppelin said as soon as Perseus took out his book. “Why are you late?” “The professor isn't here yet.” Zeppelin gave him a stare before speaking. “That makes it easier to speak now. We have another training session before the match, and this happens to be the last training session.” Zeppelin informed him. “Are you going with us?” “When is it?” “In three days.” Perseus thought for a while. He still had to make that game with Eris and also practice for the tournament that was coming up. “I will check my schedule and see if it aligns if I have to make time for it,” Perseus replied. “That would be great.” Zeppelin smiled at him. Just then, Professor Davis walked into the class. Perseus and Zeppelin's gazes shifted to the teacher, and soon the calls began.After class, Perseus was heading for his next class with Zeppelin hot on his tail. Perseus still hasn't gotten used to Zeppelin following him around like a lost puppy. “Are you ready to see Mr. Kayden Kross again?” Zeppe
The next morning, Perseus was getting into the car when Eris and Sherry hurried over to him. “Can I come along too?” Sherry asked. Perseus and Eris shook their heads. “No, you can't miss class.” Sherry pouted. “Why? I already missed yesterday, and since I am a topper, It doesn't matter.”Despite her words, Perseus and Eris shook their heads in disapproval. Sherry stormed her foot on the floor. “Come on, guys. It's only a day, and it's not like I am going to talk all day. I will only do my live stream and stay away from your game.” “You are not allowed to be at the company,” Eris said.“Isn't Perseus the largest shareholder? I am his fiance!” Perseus stroked Sherry's hair. “Don't worry. You can come along some other time, but not now. If we are done early, we will come pick you up.” Sherry hesitated before nodding. “Okay! That's a promise.” A driver was waiting for Sherry. Perseus waited until Sherry was in the car before he opened the car door to enter. Eris was already behind
