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
Nick was stunned when he saw all the men lying on the floor. “How did you do that? You were able to take down those men all by yourself.” Perseus grinned at him. “Did you see anyone else here?” Nick's teeth grated. “Get him!” He ordered the seven men that were next to him. The bald man's lips curled into a smirk. “You are going to be a great fighter; I haven't fought someone like you in a while.” Perseus only grinned. He gripped the bald man's shoulder; it happened so fast that Perseus moved like air, lifted the man, and slammed him hard against the ground. Perseus aimed his punch at the man's head, but the man ducked out of the way. Perseus fist made a sign on the ground. Perseus was confused; he hadn't done anything to improve his strength. [Your livestream hit 200 million viewers, so you were granted a 10+ upgrade.]Perseus smiled. “This feels so good, but you could have told me earlier.” The bald man armed a punch at Perseus since he was standing on his feet now. Perseus re
Ron and Terra were shocked by Perseus' words; it was as if they couldn't believe that Lexi got herself a boyfriend. Ron was having a hard time figuring out if Perseus was a big shot that he shouldn't offend since he found Perseus so familiar.“How dare she get a more handsome man?” Terra murmured to herself as she glared daggers at Lexi. “I asked who was bullying her,” Perseus repeated, but this time his voice was stern.“It was him.” Lexi pointed at Ron. Ron regained his composure immediately. “Lexi, the problem here is that you beat up my fiancee all because you were jealous that I didn't choose her.” He turned his gaze to Perseus. “Your girlfriend still has her eyes on me even though she has you.”“How do you explain the coffee dappled on her?” Perseus chimed in. Ron stared at Lexi's body to see that her gown was stained by the coffee. “My fiance accidentally knocked the mug off the table, and Lexi beat her up.” “She didn't accidentally knock on the mug. She poured the coffee
Perseus glanced at Lexi. “What should I do about him?” Lexi was silent. Seeing this, Ron gripped Lexi's leg, and she tried to kick him off, but he was gripping her too tight. “I'm sorry, Lexi; I never intended to insult me or take Terra's side. Forgive me; tell your boyfriend to give me my job back. Please!” Lexi glared at Ron before taking back her leg. “I wasn't the one who offended him; why would I tell him to let you go?”“That's because it is what you should do.” Ron said before grabbing Perseus' leg again. “I already apologized to both of you; please forgive me.” Perseus glanced at Terra. She glanced at Lexi with hatred in her eyes. Perseus wanted to know what happened between the two of them.“Your girlfriend isn't apologizing.” Perseus muttered. “Isn't it her fault that you lost your job? If you haven't stood up for her despite knowing that she was at fault, You wouldn't be begging here.” Ron pressed his lips together and grabbed Terra. “Terra, you have to apologize to th
