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'
The entrance to the stadium was even more noisy than the outside. Perseus had reunited with the others, and they were all climbing the stairs to the monitors. The place was packed, and fans were cheering from different angles. The opposite team was already there, waiting for them. Perseus could see the members of the other team grinning at them. And on the team, there was one person who had a big smile on his face. [That's Sam Donovan.][The biggest opponent of your team.][That's his team. Fanzx.]Perseus frowned at Sam, who was smiling at him. Sam must probably think that Perseus had no idea what his plan was. However, Perseus was only going to play the fool. All the gamers waved at the fans until they were seated. The six parties that escorted both teams headed for the stage. Risthan's had Vince, while Fanzx had a skinny-looking man named Han. The both of them shook hands, exchanged something Perseus could see, and returned to their positions. “Risthan and Fanzx are competin
The panel was displayed in front of him, and Iris was explaining what was on the screen. [I tapped into Sam's phone to find anything on it, but there was nothing. Just random games.]Perseus sighed. “You don't have to do that, Iris. The tournament is in a long time, and Sam has already bought the act.”[Yes, he already bought the act, but you still have the support of your fans. That's so cool.]Perseus smiled and grabbed Iris before placing her on his shoulder. “It is easier talking to you if you are on my shoulder.” Iris chuckled. [Sure.]Just then, Perseus felt glares piercing through him. He turned his head to find all of Risthan's glaring at him. “What?” Perseus inquired. “You're zoning out on us,” Eris uttered. “Are you alright?” Perseus nodded. “It wasn't that bad.” Ethan chimed. “The fans didn't go against you like we thought they would.” “I guess so.” The team began talking about other things while Perseus stared out the window. ******He pushed open the front door a
“Aren’t you going to eat?” Marcus asked. “You are hungry, and still want to leave?” Zeppelin nodded. “I have to go.” He dashed out of the restaurant before anyone could stop him. He needed to get away from them and draw the stalker to himself. As he headed out of the restaurant, he pondered if the stalker was really his or if he was just being paranoid. On second thought, he hurried back into the restaurant after remembering what happened the other day after Perseus left. That murder case hasn't been solved yet. “You are back!” Matt piped.“Yes,” Zeppelin muttered casually as he took his seat. “Acting stubborn, I guess what changed your mind.” Marcus scoffed before shoving Zeppelin's dish in front of him. “Eat before you starve. We should have celebrated our win today, but that had to be postponed because our star isn't around.” Matt shoved a spoonful of food into his mouth and began speaking. “I saw him on the trending searches; he is into eSports too. That explains why he wa
After dinner, the livestream was over. Perseus checked the number of points that he had accumulated during the livestream. The points were many. He was able to pay back Iris what he owed her. He had no idea that he had a debt that he was paying off. [That's why you don't slack off when you are calculating points.]Perseus frowned at Iris. “I feel like you are robbing me.” [You can earn more points by doing more live streams.][More cooking live streams.][Also, when was the last time you went to your restaurant? And when was the last time you gave them pasta?]Perseus ran his hand through his hair. “I thought there were some here that Eris could drive to the restaurant.” [There isn't.]Perseus sighed. “Fine, I will head to the restaurant tomorrow and make more pasta. Is that enough?” Iris nodded. [Definitely. More points get added from there, remember?]“Yes.” [Good.]He moved the panel to the side and found that the Lvl 5 was locked, as was the shop. “I can't believe I am stil
Perseus thought of how he could spend the money in twenty minutes. He was still pondering, and the ladies thought he was thinking of a movie for them to watch. [You have fifteen minutes left.] Perseus frowned, then turned his gaze to Sherry and Eris. “Is there anything you would love to buy? We can order it online.” Sherry was startled by his suggestion, but she agreed. “Yes. There are a lot of groceries that need to be bought.” The ladies began mentioning all the things that were needed in the house. Perseus only listened to them. “How much is all of it?” Perseus asked. “That would be $50,000.” Perseus's gaze fell; he was expecting it to be more expensive than that. So he took out his phone, went to the shopping site, and began buying things that were both necessary and unnecessary. Sherry and Eris peered at the screen, wondering what he was doing. [Five minutes left.] Iris chimed, clearly enjoying taunting him. Perseus still had $50,000 to spend. He hurriedly chose anythin
