“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.
Perseus stood next to his car, his hand tugging into his pocket. He was in front of the Sullivan building and staring at the security men that were standing there. “Are you having second thoughts?” Zeppelin asked as he stood next to Perseus. Perseus shook his head. “Not in the slightest. This is the second time that I have been here.” Zeppelin's head tilted. “What are you going to do then?” “I'm going to talk to them. Most especially to Roman, I guess that he has no idea his darling is in jail.” Perseus replied, grinning. Perseus began leading the way, while Zeppelin followed him. As soon as he got to the security men, they widened their hands and blocked his way. “You can't go in.” Perseus glared at them. “Could you ask your boss to come out to see me?” “We are not allowed to do anything else than stand here and stop others from entering.”Perseus was still thinking of a way to persuade them without causing a scene. Zeppelin, on the other hand, was different; he grabbed the
“Are you sure they are coming?” Perseus asked as he arched his brows at Iris. [40%]Zeppelin, on the other hand, kept glancing at the food. His stomach was grumbling. Almond arrived five minutes later, his gaze trailing all over the place. His eyes widened when he found them lying unconscious on the couch, and then he saw that the food had been touched. His fist tightened, his teeth gritting in frustration. “I'm late,” Almond muttered.Roman and Mr. Sullivan were walking down the stairs when they saw Perseus lying lifeless on the couch. Identical evil smiles appeared on both the father's and son's faces. “See, it was easier to poison them.” Roman chuckled. “I thought he was going to be smart enough to realize that the food was poisoned.”Almond turned his head to glare at them. “Shut up!” Roman wasn't listening; he kept on going on and on. “I'm going to go after everyone close to him and do exactly what he did to me.” Mr. Sullivan walked towards the couch that Perseus and Zeppel
Perseus wasn't expecting it either. It came off like a surprise. “Boss, I apologize for not greeting you first, but...” The leader tried to say, but when Timtat kicked him, his words were cut off. “This guy is my boss!” Timtat pointed at Perseus. “And you are taking orders to hit him?” The leader shook his head rapidly and glanced around as if looking for something to blame. “Fire, what's going on?” One of the gangsters interjected. “Is he the big boss you were talking about?” The leader's gaze landed on the man who had told him to kick Timtat out of that way earlier.Rising to his feet, the leader grabbed the man by the arm and threw his feet against the man's face, earning a grunt from him. “Boss, it is all his fault; he told me there was a job we could do.”“You took orders to hit my boss?” Timtat's voice was low and menacing.The leader quivered under Timtat's gaze. “I'll deal with the ones who hired me instead.”Roman's heart raced as he witnessed the escalating tension. He
“If you want your son out of jail, how about accepting my investment, and I might help you?” Perseus asked. Mr. Sullivan stared at Perseus for a while before his gaze shifted to his son, Almond. “Deal with Mr. Damon and his investment; I will go after Roman.”With that, Mr. Sullivan ran off, leaving his son there to settle the investment with Perseus. As far as Almond was concerned, he knew that his father had run off and was never going to return to the house. As soon as Mr. Sullivan wasn't in sight anymore, Zeppelin, who had been quiet all this while, finally spoke up.“I'm starving.” Perseus glanced at him. “I'll treat you to lunch after this is over.” Almond did as he was told; he told Perseus about that investment process, and soon Perseus sent the investment to Almond, which earned him the position of second-largest shareholder of the company. Since Sullivan had three companies, he could only invest in the failing one to boost it. “Can I buy you both lunch instead?” Almond
Zeppelin jumped to his feet. “We have to catch him.” Perseus ran after Zeppelin, who was chasing the man. Perseus tried his very best to keep his speed in check as the man ran out of the restaurant. The man took the path to the right and began running as fast as he could. Perseus and Zeppelin chased after him, with him glancing back at them. "Hey, wait up!” Zeppelin yelled, but that man wasn't stopping. The man crashed into people, things, stalls, and everything he could find as he ran. Sometimes he uses the things blocking his path to throw on Perseus and Zeppelin's paths, which they fairly dodged. “Let's split up.” Zeppelin suggested as he glanced at the man running far ahead. “If you could go right, you could block him if you were fast enough.” “I'm faster than you think.” Perseus replied. Perseus took the right path, while Zeppelin took the opposite. Using his speed, he began running as far as he could.[Right path. [It's easier to get him that way.]As Perseus ran, Iris ke
The sound of sirens was all around the place. Perseus stood still in a corner and watched as they pulled out all the corpses of everyone that he had seen when he walked into the bar. [Are you alright, host?] Iris asked. “It is him, right?” Perseus asked.[Who?]“Is it the same person who murdered my parents?” [100%]The metallic smell was familiar to him from the mixture of gasoline and alcohol. That was the same smell he perceived many years ago. “You asked me to leave because I am no match for this guy, right?” Iris nodded before parting his head with her hand. [You are going to be fine. He didn't come after you, even though he was in the same room with you.][If he wanted you dead, he could have gone after you.]Perseus refused to believe it, no matter how he tried. There was no way the man was going to kill all those people for no reason. [77%]Perseus was still trying to figure out what happened when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He glanced at the person; it was Zeppelin
The sheet of paper shook in his hand. He and Zeppelin were related. They were twins. Seeing Perseus' reaction, Zeppelin already knew the answer. “You are my brother! No wonder you look so similar to him.” Zeppelin purred as he placed his hand over Perseus' shoulder.Perseus stared at him. “Why do you have the surname Maximilian?” “I was adopted, and I had to take their last name,” Zeppelin replied. "However, I left the family to find you.” Perseus stared blankly at the paper on the way outside the hospital, throughout his drive, and finally at home. He had just brushed past Sherry and Eris, who waved at him and went into his room. The door went slam. That made the ladies glare at the one person who came with Perseus. “I helped you today, remember?” Zeppelin asked as they glared daggers at him. He was carrying a little girl in his arms, which he handed to Eris. “Could you give her a room to stay in? She just lost her father.” Eris stared at the three-year-old before glancing back
