Although Perseus was confused, since the system asked him to form an alliance with Quinn, Why was Mr. Kim the one talking about it?“My son is the one taking care of Eris; you are forming an alliance with him. In order for us to support each other, you have to get engaged to one of my granddaughters, and that is Sherry.”Here it comes; it wasn't surprising to him anymore.“I accept the engagement.” Perseus said it without second thought.However, when he glanced at Sherry, she wasn't looking too good. She had a huge frown on her face; she looked like she was going to burst out crying any moment.She rose to her feet and slammed her fist against the table. “I refuse!” She bellowed, startling everyone in the room. “I can't get engaged just to form an alliance! Grandfather, you know how to keep favorites and put me in the dark! I am not getting married to him for Eris sake; she can go to hell for all I care."Perseus was shocked; now the Kim's were kind of complicated. He shrugged, remin
[Host, are you sure leaving Kim's mansion is a great idea? You have to help him pick a genuine antique.]Perseus' eyes darted to the system; he was out of Kim's mansion and was walking down the quiet nights. He had no idea if he was going to get a cab back to him since the place was so remote.Also, he had no idea where Sherry was. He had the key to the villa, and she wouldn't be able to get in without him.“Do I have to help me pick from the ones he is ordering tomorrow?”[Not necessary.]He eyed the system. “All I have to do is get him a genuine antique."[Exactly.]“Is that what the mission is all about?”[Yes.]“Don't you know the reason why I delayed my stay at Kim's mansion?”[No idea.]“I knew you wouldn't.” He was being cocky since the system had no idea.[You stayed till it was late, so he couldn't ask them to come over.]Perseus's eyes widened. “How did you know?”[I can read your thoughts.]“But I wasn't thinking about anything.”[It's all over your face.]Perseus shrugged;
[Alert! Sensing anger coming from the host. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax. You can't get angry at her now.]Perseus clenched his fists, resisting the surge of anger. The unexpected message from Celia, who had let him die, caught him off guard.[You can block her if you want to.]"‘I was thinking about that,’’ Perseus admitted.He began typing on his phone, and when he was done, he was about to press the send button when he changed his mind.She wasn't worth his message.A tight frown appeared on his face as he pressed the block button. He tossed his phone to the side before glancing at Sherry, who was going on and on in the livestream.Rising to his feet, Perseus found Sherry only three steps away. He walked to her and peered at the screen in front of him. Dozens of comments were flooding in.'Is he your boyfriend, Sherry?’'Why does he look familiar?’'Isn't that the psycho who threatened Celia?’'Does he have a thing for livestreamers?’"Sherry, hurry away; will we
Celia suspected that Sherry knew the truth and hired someone to pretend to be Perseus. Celia knew that Perseus was dead and couldn't be alive. It was just not possible.He was a loser, and even if he were alive, he wouldn't get the support of Sherry. She could play the game with Sherry since Sherry knows about her secret.Her eyes returned to the screen; her eyes bulged out of their sockets when she saw the comments. Two people were badmouthing her on the live stream and were slowly getting support from other viewers."What's happening?” She screamed when she couldn't see her fans' comments anymore.On the other hand,Perseus reached out to the system and said, "Iris, could you help me manipulate these chat messages in my favor? Make her look like a terrible villain.”[The cost of manipulating the chat costs 100 points. The process will begin soon.]“Good job.”Perseus glanced at the comments section; his eyes widened as he saw the two people who were supporting him. He recognized the
Perseus staggered to the bathroom the next morning. He picked up his toothbrush and began brushing his teeth in front of the mirror. The system's reflection appeared in the mirror.[Morning host.]“Yeah Iris.”Remember, you only have a day to spend the rest of the money. [Also, the punishment is currently waiting for you.]Perseus' eyes flicked toward the system's reflection in the mirror. "I will spend all of it today. Don't worry about me.”Iris folded her arms and looked away from him. [Hmph! [I am not worried; I am only doing what the system should.]The system kept on speaking until he went to the shower. It disappeared while Perseus had his bath.A few moments later, he was walking down the stairs in his pajamas. After bathing, he realized that he hadn't brought any of his clothes with him.Also, how were they going to get to school since he doesn't have a car to drive them from the remote area? The time for the exam was kicking in too.He met Sherry at the dining; she was setti
“Good morning, President Perseus.” The men who just lined up around Perseus and Sherry paused.Perseus had no idea where the men came from; his eyes studied the reaction on their faces. Their faces were hard, like they didn't know how to make expressions.[They are the bodyguards that were picked by your lawyer for you.]“What? I have a lawyer." Perseus raised his eyes to look at Iris, who was taking a rest on his head.[Yes, the lawyer was the one who concluded the share transfer.]“He picked out bodyguards for me."[100% probability.]Perseus was not expecting that he was going to have a lawyer.“President Perseus, the car is ready for you to get in. We are sending you off for the university.” One of the large men informed him.Perseus gestured for Sherry to follow him; she took hesitant but calculated steps towards them.Noticing this, Perseus glanced at her. “They are my employees; they wouldn't hurt us.”It was then that Sherry relaxed; they hopped into the car, and after several
The once quiet class began to murmur. They didn't hear what Perseus whispered to the teacher, but they knew that whatever it was, It surprised her.“Who does he think he is?” One of the students asked.“Did he think he was rich now that Sherry Kim is backing him up?"“I can't believe Sherry Kim bought him that outfit.”A frown was on Celia's face; she had already known that Perseus was alive. She was already shivering in the corner where she hid. If he could see her, he could identify her and get the police to arrest her.She began biting on her fingernails to ease her nervousness. He shook, dead or crippled; how could he be standing there and looking better than he was?Sherry, on the other hand, was getting annoyed by the whispers of other students.Perseus walked over to Ms. Tisha's table, and she spun around to look at him. He unzipped her bag, pushed the money inside, and zipped it.He winked at Ms. Tisha before he headed for his seat. Ms. Tisha just stood still without knowing h
[She has a frown on her face too.]Perseus nodded at Iris. 'I noticed that too.’Eris had a headphone on her neck and was frowning at him. Her frown was even deeper than that of her grandpa, although it made her look tough. Perseus was less concerned; he just needed her to earn his points.“Yes, I am Perseus.”“Why have you come here?” She demanded. “No one knows that I will ditch class to stay here.”Perseus' brows furrowed as he thought to himself. 'Why was she telling him?’She looked away from him and stood away from him. “I don't want Sherry to think that she has to get engaged to you for my sake. You don't have to try to be nice to me.”[As if! [He is only here for the points!]Perseus gave her a dismissal wave. “I am not here because of Sherry, nor am I here because of you or your grandpa. I heard you are the top gamer, I am here to inform you that I will work on the game with you. Also, is there any game you have been finding hard to win recently?” He hit the nail on the head.
