I apologize for dropping only one chapter today. I promise to make it up to y'all tomorrow. I'll give at least 4-5 chapters tomorrow. Thanks for reading and happy reading! Xoxo.
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
Glancing at Ethan, he headed for his seat. “You've got my attention; what does the letter say?” Perseus took his seat in front of his computer as Ethan opened his mouth to speak, but the rest of the members surrounded him with their hands on his shoulder. “Hey, Perseus!” “How have you been?” “We made an apple cake. Do you have some?” “You didn't show up yesterday. You missed the tutorial we learned.”Perseus tried to answer all of them, but that question kept coming. Ethan glared at the others since he had just lost the attention that he was given in a few minutes. “Hey guys! He doesn't want an apple cake! Stop forcing him!” Ethan yelled. “Back to your seats, all of you!” “You are no longer the top 2 anymore.” Jeremy sneered. “That means we aren't taking orders from you.” Ethan's teeth grated. "Well, the third matters, doesn't he?”Just then, Eris stepped into the office holding a bag. Everyone's attention turned to her, but one of the gamers was the first to take the bag fr
Sherry walked out of the school building with two girls by her side. She had just spoken to them today, and they were nice to her. “I will text you later.” One of them muttered. “We will be heading off now.” Sherry nodded. “Are you coming tomorrow?” The second asked. “I am.” “See you tomorrow, then.” Sherry waved them off as they left. They were Rita and Ruth, twin sisters. They weren't identical. They were different from each other. Rita had green eyes, while Ruth had black eyes. They dyed their hair too. Rita had green and black hair, while Ruth had black and red.Sherry smiled as she headed for the car. Previously, after she had been arrested, she had made up her mind not to have any more friends, but Rita and Ruth stuck to her like glue, doing classes. She had other friends but wasn't close to them, and now the twins have managed to get her contact information. She hoped they weren't up to no good.As she approached the car, she found a lady leaning against the car with he
