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
Perseus walked down the stairs, rubbing his neck. He had slept surprisingly well with Sherry in his bed. He wondered if she didn't sleep roughly, or perhaps it was because he had slept in first. He got downstairs, and the girls were down there waiting for him. There were a lot of boxes gathered in the living room. Sherry's eyes were practically glittering like she couldn't wait to open up the boxes and see what he ordered. He had no idea what was in there either. “What did you order?” Eris asked. “I thought you said we were going to get the stuff needed at home today.” “We are,” Perseus replied. “I just ordered those things last night. We can open it up together.” Eris and Sherry exchanged glances; they picked up one box each and began unwrapping it. Perseus walked over to them and sat on the ground next to them. Sherry was so expectant that she began thinking that Perseus had bought them for her. Eris was the first to open her box. Perseus glanced at her, but he was unable to
Perseus sighed at Eris before breaking into a run. Sherry and Eris followed suit.“Wait, Perseus,” Sherry called out. Perseus was ahead of them at that time, but he slowed down to their pace until they were next to him. “Do you both want to skip school with me?” Perseus asked. It was odd asking a top student like Sherry, but Eris might be up for it.“We are heading out to get the things needed at home. Aren't we?” Sherry questioned. “Of course, we will need to skip school.” “No, we can get them after school,” Eris suggested. “Right.” Sherry agreed. Groaning, Perseus increased his pace. “Okay.”The girls tried to get him to slow down and match their pace, but he didn't listen. He only stopped running when he heard the sound of the system.[Ding! Dong!][You have completed your daily running quest.]Perseus pulled a towel from his pocket and wiped his face. As the panel appeared in front of him, he realized his running quest duration had increased.He glanced back, expecting to fin
Perseus stared at her like he could see right through her soul, and that made her uneasy, but she refused to back down. Perseus could tell that she had always gotten what she wanted, as long as she asked for it. Now, she thought, she could just walk up to him and command him to do something for her. Not happening. “Sorry, I will pass,” Perseus responded. “It's not like you are that pretty anyway.” He mumbled. “What did you just say?” She bellowed, her teeth gritting in fury. “Did you just call me ugly?!”“Did I?” Perseus asked. “Young miss, I will drive you back home.” The chauffeur suggested trying to take her away before things escalated. “Did he just call me ugly?” She asked her chauffeur.The chauffeur shook his head. “Maybe you heard wrong, young miss.” “Now, you are calling me deaf!” Delinder yelled. “I'm going to say a word about you to my father, and he is going to get you fired!” [Poor man.]Delinder went all mad at her chauffeur and began yelling at him nonstop.
