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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 163_Nick.
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

Perseus stared at Perseus through the rearview mirror. He could see the sadness in Zeppelin's eyes. “They would.” He reassured Zeppelin. “Really?” Zeppelin's face brightened. “Trust me, they would be so glad to see you.” Lexi sat properly on the seat, but her gaze was focused on Perseus.“I thought you knew everything about me.” Perseus told Zeppelin. “How come you knew nothing about Uncle?” “Well. First of all, I thought you had no other family. Second, there was no official adoption process for you, and perhaps I thought they were friends.” Perseus grinned. “Let's get you to them first.” “Like right now?” Lexi inquired. Perseus nodded.“Why didn't you say we were heading there now? I haven't picked up any clothes. My dress is drained by coffee, and I need to change!” “Let's get a dress then.” Zeppelin only chucked.***Perseus rang the doorbell. Zeppelin stood next to him, but Lexi was standing behind him. She had already changed into something different.“I never thought

“I like your aunt,” Lexi said, glancing at Perseus. “She is nice and cool.”Perseus returned the stare, listening. They were walking down the road. He had given her a tour of the house and was giving her a tour of the neighborhood. “She accepted Zeppelin almost immediately. She also felt guilty for not taking him and raising him. It took Zeppelin by surprise.” “I would have done the same if it was me,” Perseus muttered. “He is family, and we have to accept him. Although my aunt isn't related to me by blood, she's a mother figure to me.’“She cares about you.” “I know.”“Why aren't you calling her mom like she wants you to?” Perseus looked away from Lexi. “I love her, but I can't call her Mom. Let's say I am afraid that she is going to meet the same fate as my mother.” Lexi didn't ask any more questions. They toured around the neighborhood for a bit. The tour around the neighborhood continued for an hour. Lexi wasn't familiar with the place. As they walk, Perseus points out vario

Zeppelin dropped the plate he was holding and dashed out of the kitchen. The speed he used startled Gabrielle so much that she began chasing after him. “I asked if your brother was home.” The leader repeated as he squatted to meet Eriane's gaze.Eriane shook her head. “Is he the one who has that car out there?” Eriane shook her head again. “Can't you speak?!” The bald man roared, grabbing a vase and smashing it to the floor.Eriane flinched. “He isn't home, and that isn't his car.” The bald man glanced back at his men; the one he looked at shook his head and gestured that Eriane was lying. “I saw him get out of the car with his friends.” One of the men said, “She is lying; that's his car.” Eriane began moving backward as the man's gaze shifted back to her. “You better not be lying to me; is your father home?” Just then, Zeppelin ran into the living room. He found Eriane on the floor, with the men glancing at her. He hurried over to them, and Eriane stood up on her feet and hid

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
Chapter 465_Run
[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
Chapter 462_Back to the Mansion
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
