Lexi took the logo from him and glanced at it. “How do we do that?” Luke was already taking his leave. He didn't want to interfere in Lexi's and Perseus' investigations. “Since you have gotten these workers arrested, we will take them for questioning.”Lexi nodded. “Okay, Luke. Thanks.”“It's your vacation, after all.” Luke winked at her before leaving. [It sounds like someone is terrified of taking this case. That's why he is leaving it to us.]'Right, but he can still help by questioning them.’[I guess so.]Perseus glanced at Iris. “How do we find the owners of this logo?” [On it, host. This costs 12 full stat points.]Iris scanned the logo. [It belongs to the River Gang.][Tracing the location costs one point per minute.][Are you ready to go?]“Let me see.” Zeppelin appeared out of nowhere and snatched the logo from Lexi.“Hey–”“It belongs to the River Gang,” Perseus announced, making Lexi freeze. “What? The Rivers?” Lexi questioned. Perseus nodded. “Why do you look bewild
The huge man regained his balance. He wanted to throw Perseus off balance by nudging him on the shoulder, but he hadn't expected his body to react that way. “HX and Fanny are in the rings now!” “Keen attention to see who wins and who wins the bets.”“You can go ahead and vote for your preferred one!” The crowd began roaring in excitement, and all of them hurried to make their bets. Perseus was glaring at the huge man, who had a stunned expression on his face. “Is anything the matter?” Perse demanded. The huge man backed away and frowned when he realized it. “No! You are in my way!” The people next to them were staring at them expectantly. “I don't think we should get into a fight with him,” Lexi told Perseus. “That's going to draw unnecessary attention to us.” Perseus got out of the way and gestured for the man to pass. Surprisingly, the man felt insulted by Perseus' actions. “How dare you ask me to pass without any proper apology?” The man snarled. “I am going to hit you unt
A grin spread across HX's face. “Fine, since you are persistent, I won't hold back either.” Perseus smiled. “How about we make a deal? The loser would belong to the winner.” HX liked the sound of that. “I can't wait to make you my slave.”Fanny got off the ground and hurried over to the ring, but he was pulled back by three men, and in a few minutes he was in the middle of the audience. “I am the one that is supposed to be on that ring. Not him!” Fanny cried out, but no one was listening to him.The mood is charged with excitement and tension as spectators eagerly await the upcoming fights, their voices murmuring in hushed anticipation.“HX! HX!” The crowd cheered. HX widened his arms in the air and grinned from ear to ear as everyone chanted his name. “Fanny had been kicked out of the ring, and his fight is being postponed to another day!” The announcer yelled.“HX has been challenged by a man named?” He glanced at Perseus expectantly.“Rouka!” Zeppelin announced through glintin
Perseus nodded to what Luke was saying. HX had been handcuffed and taken to the car. At first, Luke thought of them as someone else before he heard their voices. “Are you going after the gang, Perseus? You are going to get yourself killed.” Luke blurted out. “I won't,” Perseus replied. “Thanks for worrying about me, but I am going to send each of them to jail. They bought kids, and no one knew what they did to them.” “You are sending them to jail for questioning, right?” “Yes.” “Great. I'm rooting for you.” Luke said, and the report was over.Luke waved Perseus goodbye before getting into his car and driving off. “What do we do next?” Lexi asked. Perseus shrugged. “We will wait for them to come for us next.”Zeppelin had a bright smile on his face. “Right. You did a good job out here, but I never thought you were going to end it so fast.”Perseus glanced at his watch. ”I wanted to get this all over with before my aunt gets worried about me.” “Then where do we go next?” Lexi in
Eriane's face went pale as Melody held her hand up to her. She snatched back her hand. “What are you doing? How could you?” Melody had the most evil grin. "Well, since you don't want to help me get your brother, I could give you away to them to do whatever they want.” “Grab her.” One of the men ordered, and the two next to him walked over to Eriane and grabbed her. “You have got the wrong person.” Eriane blurted out. The men glared at her. She was pulled out of the party as she squirmed and screamed, but it was of no use. “At least, make me take my revenge. She spilled wine all over my white dress!” “What do you want from me?” Eriane yelled as she was shoved into the back of a truck. “Hey,” the door slammed in front of her, and she began banging on it. “Get me out of here!” After countless trials, she could hear the men speaking to each other, but this time it was in a different language. “You are going to regret kidnapping me!” She growled. “I promise!” “Shut the crap up!” O
Cavy grinned. “Is that your friend?” He asked as she pointed at Melody, who was still tied and sitting on the floor. Eriane shook her head. “No.” Melody began squirming, her eyes holding a look of panic. “I think that she has something to say,” Cavy said before rising to his feet. Eriane watched him as he filled the cup that was meant for her and carried both in his hand. He walked over to where Melody was and spilled all the contents on her head. “This is how coffee looks when you pour it.” He told her. “She did pour wine all over you; that's why I asked them to bring her over.” Melody's head was soaked, and her clothes were drenched from coffee. “Not enough?” Cavy asked when he saw how Eriane was looking at him. Disgust, anger, and resentment. “Why are you doing this?” “Doing what?” “Are you trying to get me to convince my brother to cover up for your gang when you are wrong?” “You catch up on time.” He smiled. “That's exactly what I want from you.” “The cops already ha
The first driver was Zeppelin, while the driver of the minivan was Leo. Cavy's eyes trailed around the place as he searched for Perseus, but he couldn't find Perseus. The drivers got out of their cars and headed for the seat of the car. Cavy was ready to do anything now, but as soon as he reached for the backseat, he grabbed Eriane. Perseus appeared in front of the car, removing the door from the car. He pulled his sister out of the car and held her to himself. Cavy raised his head to look at Perseus, but that look Perseus gave him sent his heart racing. “Don't hit him!” Eriane said. “He just wanted to talk to you about what he did at the orphanage. He is willing to confess all he did.” Perseus glanced at Eriane. “Is that what you want for your kidnapper?” Eriane nodded. “Did he hit you?”“No.” “Did he insult you?” “No.” “How were you kidnapped?” “I was locked at the back of the dark truck.” Perseus' eyes scanned Eriane's body, and then he saw the wine that was dappled aro
[A medical book has been installed.][Congratulations!]Perseus ignored the system for a while. “Has she always been mean to you?” Perseus asked as soon as they got into the car. They had settled everything that needed to be settled, and they were driving home.Eriane shook her head more than necessary, and Perseus knew she was lying. “No?” Perseus glared at Eriane. “You know what happens when you lie.” “Don't cut off my allowance.” Eriane frowned at him, suddenly conscious of losing the only money she was getting. “You just recently started to give me an allowance, and now you are trying to stop again.”Perseus groaned. “Do not change the topic, Eriane.” Eriane pouted. “Fine, I used to be bullied by Melody and her friends in the past, but they have been acting better because they heard you were rich.” [Awwn, someone is getting the girls.]Perseus glared at Iris. [Oops, sorry.]“How long have they been bullying you?” “I can't remember,” Eriane said honestly. “She bullied me tod
