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.”

    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

    “I won't use the knife if you tell the cops that it was all your fault that that girl died, and my sister has nothing to do with it.” The man swung the knife in between his fingers. The corner of Sherry's eyes caught the sight of Zeppelin. He was still engaged in a fight with Scarlett. “Why are you doing this?” “What do you think? For money.” “You have never cared about your sister.”“I know, right? She was a bitch, and I only needed her to make money.” “You are dumb.” “I know—what?” “You are dumb to think that me calling the cops and admitting that I am guilty is going to release your sister. I could tell them that I lied when they came to arrest me, and it would get back to normal, but you will be arrested for threatening me with a knife.” Sherry alleged.The man's lips twitched. “If that's the case, then using the knife sounds good.” Sherry glanced at Zeppelin, who had just kicked Scarlett, and she fell unconscious. Zeppelin was dusting his palm when he glanced over at her.

    Two years later, Perseus was at the airport, having just landed back in his home country after traveling full-time for two years. He hadn’t heard from anyone during that time, as he’d been constantly changing his number while traveling. He had successfully visited 100 countries and would have continued if not for being called home by his aunt.“Perseus!” Sherry’s voice made him flinch as she called out to him.It had been two years since they last spoke. After the game, he had vanished, claiming he wanted to travel.[She waited for you, Iris noted. I doubt the others did.][He glanced at her. <

    Perseus smiled at the cheering crowd, then turned his gaze to the other side of the audience. His eyes widened in embarrassment when he spotted his aunt and Eriane, waving an old, embarrassing photo of him.His aunt was cheering louder than the teenage girls around her, almost as if she were a teenager herself.He wondered how she even knew about the game and its location since he hadn’t invited her. He was sure he’d be scolded later, but he didn’t mind. Shifting his attention away from her, Perseus walked to his gaming seat.As soon as they all sat down, Perseus glanced at the opposing team, just centimeters away. Sam, one of the opposing players, grinned at him, then gave Perseus the middle finger and mouthed, "Loser. We all know how terrible you are at gaming. Stop using your handsome face

    ‘What is my chance of winning now?’ Perseus questioned.Iris glanced at a panel, her eyes widening in shock. [79%][What am I seeing? You have upgraded to level 20 for discovering Forest's secret and finding a way to defeat him.] She squealed.[Is this really true?]A glint of relief slowly washed over Iris. There was hope that Perseus could finally defeat the man who had long wanted his life.[You can beat him now;] Iris claimed. [Just breathe properly.][His skills have been sealed with all of the points you have left. He won’t be able to use them against you anymore.] Iris announced.Perseus glanced at her, and a t

    Forest leaned in, his eyes cold and calculating. "This isn't just a fight. It's a battle of life and death. I often wonder why your parents gave the power I wanted most to you. I’ve waited for years to see if you’re worthy of the power you possess. But if this is all you have, then you’re not worthy and are just a piece of useless dirt occupying space."Before Perseus could react, Forest flung him across the room like a ragdoll. Perseus crashed to the ground, pain radiating through his body despite Iris’ efforts to heal him.[Perseus, we can’t keep this up much longer!] Iris warned. [You need to find a way to defeat him, or he’ll—]"I know," Perseus muttered, forcing himself to his feet. His vision blurred, but he refused to back down. "I know, Iris. But I’m not giving up. Not yet."Forest approached him slowly, almost leisurely. "So, what will it be, Perseus? Will you continue to fight and prove yourself? Or will you admit defeat and accept that you’re not ready for this?"“If you ad

    [You can! You idiot!] Iris yelled.Perseus snapped out of his thoughts and dodged the attack by moving to the side as quickly as he could. This time, he didn’t hold back his power and unleashed it to the maximum.[Good job.]The man’s eyes glinted with admiration. “Aren’t you a little thing?” he asked. “I get to see someone I can actually fight with without killing them first. This is wonderful. You’re amazing!”Perseus gritted his teeth. The way the man spoke, it was clear he was looking down on him. “What is your name?”The man was taken aback by the sudden question. “Why are you asking your killer their name?”“I just wanted to know the name of the person I’m going to kill before I kill them,” Perseus replied. “Is it that hard?”The man’s lips curled. “Fine. My name is Forest. Not a common name, I guess.”Forest? Perseus’ eyes darted to Iris. ‘Analyze him with the name.’[I am unable to analyze him.] Iris said. [I tried when he arrived, but it was impossible.]“Let’s continue with

    [Your death is near, host.] Iris said, appearing next to Perseus, her gaze fixed on Aera.[Why are you following her? Shouldn’t you be in the game?]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘I should be in the game, but she insisted on treating my injuries first.’[You have to leave her and level up!] Iris cried. [I have no idea what’s happening, but the panel is blinking more furiously than before.][Your death is really imminent! You need to listen to me and run!]‘I’m not running,’ Perseus replied. ‘That man killed one of my family members and went on with his life. Now, he’s come after me, leaving Zeppelin out of the fight. If I run and he can’t find me, he’ll go after Zeppelin and kill him.’Iris’ eyes widened. [If you don’t run, there’s a high chance you’ll die.]‘I know that.’[Why are you with her then?]‘I can’t let Zeppelin face the same fate as our parents.’[It won’t take long for you to reach level 20.] Iris retorted.‘I have something he doesn't have.’[And what’s that?]‘I have you and

    Tossing in bed, Perseus looked away from Iris. “You don’t have to apologize, Iris. Even if I were to die, it wouldn’t be today anyway.”Iris scowled at him. [What did you just say?]“I said if I were to die, I wouldn’t—”His words were cut off as an electric current surged through him. The shock was so intense that he trembled all over, and when it stopped, steam was rising from his body.[That’s what you get for thinking about death, host!] Iris bellowed. [Do you know that both Lint and I will be gone if you die? Do you know how many people will be sad when you die?]Perseus flinched and slowly turned to lie on his back. Seeing the annoyed look on Iris’s face made him want to laugh.“I was only joking,” Perseus muttered. “I won’t die. I promise.”[You idiot!] Iris yelled, watching Perseus laugh. [If you die, I will kill you!]“How are you going to kill someone who’s already dead?”Two days later.“Are you ready?” Eris demanded, poking her head through the door to look at her teammat

    Ethan handed his phone to Perseus, who glanced at the picture. It was indeed him. They must have gotten it from security footage somewhere.Perseus nodded. “Alright.”“See you later,” Ethan said with a grin. “Don’t go anywhere alone.”“Okay.”Perseus stared at Iris. “I thought I told you to deactivate all of the cameras.”[I did,] she claimed. [I might have forgotten to turn the others off.]Perseus headed for the door since the game of the day would begin soon.[You were wearing a mask though. They wouldn’t be able to recognize you,] Iris said. [There’s nothing to worry about.]Upon reaching the general living room, Perseus met with the others, who were peering at him as if he had something on his face.“You were late, Perseus,” Liliana said.Liliana was standing in front of them with a woman with long lashes next to her. She grinned at Perseus, a smile crossing her face.“I had something to do,” Perseus replied. “I apologize for arriving late.”“No worries,” Liliana said. “Now that

    Perseus turned around to look at the man who had just spoken, ready to throw a punch if necessary.“Are you questioning me?” Cynthia demanded.From the look on her face, she seemed nothing like the woman she was with the leader. Perhaps seeing the man who had made her life a living hell taken by the police had given her some sort of confidence.“Nope,” he replied. “I was just worried if he would be able to lead the girls to his car. They are quite fierce.”“We know that,” Cynthia retorted. “Back to your job.”The men closed the door without any more questions, and Perseus glanced at her. He wanted to ask why she hadn’t let him use his fists but decided against it. In no time, the room was filled with women.Perseus gritted his teeth at the sight of them looking at him with terrified expressions. He wondered what all these women must have gone through to be that scared.“I will be letting them out now,” Perseus told Cynthia.“I will keep watch of the others,” Cynthia said before headin
