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
The bigger guy couldn't stop frowning because, as soon as the ball touched his hands, Perseus had taken it and scored. It happened like that until the game was over, but that bigger guy wasn't giving up. The crowd couldn't stop cheering as Perseus's team wore the medal that was given to them. The newscasters were all over them, asking questions. The other wounded teams were cheering too as they watched all that happened. Matt was almost in tears, and so was Jonas.Perseus couldn't wait for everything to be over so that he could go home. He could feel Eris glaring at him; after all, he had left their training to play basketball.[Ding!][The mission has been completed.][You have successfully helped Zeppelin and the others win the game. Rewards have been given, and punishment has been waived.][You are now allowed to leave the team if you want to.][You are free to make your decision.]Iris floated above him with a smile on her face, and she was wearing a medal too. Perseus glanced
“Josh has been hired, and he has already made a lot of character designs,” Vince announced as he walked Perseus toward the meeting room. “The shareholders have been asking to meet you.” After the game, Perseus had gotten a call from the company, and he was already there. Eris came with him, but she had long gone into the gaming department to prepare her presentation. “The shareholders have been going on and on about who is the new president and why you haven't been showing up at the meeting.” “I am the president, aren't I?” Perseus glanced at Vince. “I can do whatever I want, and why do I need to be there for the meeting to take place?” “I guess they only wanted to meet you to discuss the company issues. The new game you are creating also got their attention. Eris better do great with the presentation.” “Would they do a thing if the game doesn't suit their taste?” Perseus demanded. “If that's so, then I will have to reprimand them.” Vince's jaw tightened. “I was wondering who sh
All eyes turned to Eris, who had just walked in. Perseus smiled at her as she stepped closer to the table.“Such insolence!” Bobby uttered. “You came late and said that afterward.” Eris didn't even spare him a glance but stood next to Perseus. “This is the presentation I have prepared. I was unable to get it written because of the short notice.” Bobby was stunned to learn that he had been ignored by Eris. “Eris Kim!” He yelled.“Eris Wyatt.” Eris corrected. “Know my name first before you get ready to scold me.” Perseus took the files from Eris, went through the files, and handed them back to her. “You can start your presentation now.”Eris did as she was told; she stood in front of the large screen and began her presentation. “The game we are making would target young adults. We are still working on the name and haven't found one for it yet.” “Though it targets young adults, That doesn't mean a full-grown adult can't play it. They can.”Eris went on and on about the game, and Per
“Ouch!” She yelped as she collided with the floor. She thought that Perseus was going to catch her, but he let her fall instead. The other ladies that were in the elevator tried to hold back their laughter. 'Did he just ignore her?’ They couldn't believe it, as the first lady had made her way towards Perseus. They all knew that they had lost all their chances of getting Perseus' attention because she was always getting the men.However, Perseus making her fall amused them and, at the same time, made them satisfied.Perseus didn't jump back intentionally. He moved away because he didn't want her to touch him. [You are being targeted by good diggers.]Perseus stared at Iris. “I don't have any gold that she can dig.” [Your money is gold, host.] Iris' eyes squinted. [Do you now understand, host?]The lady wasn't ready to give up. She swore to herself that she was going to win him over.“What department do you work in?” Perseus asked her. “The marketing department.” The lady beamed w
They wanted to be sure that he was truly useless. Perseus grinned; he was going to show them how useless he was.“Have you gotten an idea of what we should do?” Ace asked Ethan.“I'm trying, but other than them trying to know our skills, They must have something else in mind.” Ethan clarified. “I think they put me in the game because I am a beginner, and they wanted you all to lose because of me.” Perseus reputed. “This duel, I guess, is to test my strength and know what model I am good at playing so that they can pick it up at the real tournament and leave me hanging.”Eris thought about it. “Is that what's happening?” “Yes.”Perseus glanced at everyone, and they returned his gaze. “How sure are you?” Ethan asked. “They saw your potential and made you the top 2. How could they do that to make us lose?” As much as Perseus wanted to keep that a secret, he couldn't. “That's what happened; I figured it out the first day we spoke about S-Sal Bang.” Eris believed in Perseus. “If that'
