Perseus staggered to the bathroom the next morning. He picked up his toothbrush and began brushing his teeth in front of the mirror. The system's reflection appeared in the mirror.[Morning host.]“Yeah Iris.”Remember, you only have a day to spend the rest of the money. [Also, the punishment is currently waiting for you.]Perseus' eyes flicked toward the system's reflection in the mirror. "I will spend all of it today. Don't worry about me.”Iris folded her arms and looked away from him. [Hmph! [I am not worried; I am only doing what the system should.]The system kept on speaking until he went to the shower. It disappeared while Perseus had his bath.A few moments later, he was walking down the stairs in his pajamas. After bathing, he realized that he hadn't brought any of his clothes with him.Also, how were they going to get to school since he doesn't have a car to drive them from the remote area? The time for the exam was kicking in too.He met Sherry at the dining; she was setti
“Good morning, President Perseus.” The men who just lined up around Perseus and Sherry paused.Perseus had no idea where the men came from; his eyes studied the reaction on their faces. Their faces were hard, like they didn't know how to make expressions.[They are the bodyguards that were picked by your lawyer for you.]“What? I have a lawyer." Perseus raised his eyes to look at Iris, who was taking a rest on his head.[Yes, the lawyer was the one who concluded the share transfer.]“He picked out bodyguards for me."[100% probability.]Perseus was not expecting that he was going to have a lawyer.“President Perseus, the car is ready for you to get in. We are sending you off for the university.” One of the large men informed him.Perseus gestured for Sherry to follow him; she took hesitant but calculated steps towards them.Noticing this, Perseus glanced at her. “They are my employees; they wouldn't hurt us.”It was then that Sherry relaxed; they hopped into the car, and after several
The once quiet class began to murmur. They didn't hear what Perseus whispered to the teacher, but they knew that whatever it was, It surprised her.“Who does he think he is?” One of the students asked.“Did he think he was rich now that Sherry Kim is backing him up?"“I can't believe Sherry Kim bought him that outfit.”A frown was on Celia's face; she had already known that Perseus was alive. She was already shivering in the corner where she hid. If he could see her, he could identify her and get the police to arrest her.She began biting on her fingernails to ease her nervousness. He shook, dead or crippled; how could he be standing there and looking better than he was?Sherry, on the other hand, was getting annoyed by the whispers of other students.Perseus walked over to Ms. Tisha's table, and she spun around to look at him. He unzipped her bag, pushed the money inside, and zipped it.He winked at Ms. Tisha before he headed for his seat. Ms. Tisha just stood still without knowing h
[She has a frown on her face too.]Perseus nodded at Iris. 'I noticed that too.’Eris had a headphone on her neck and was frowning at him. Her frown was even deeper than that of her grandpa, although it made her look tough. Perseus was less concerned; he just needed her to earn his points.“Yes, I am Perseus.”“Why have you come here?” She demanded. “No one knows that I will ditch class to stay here.”Perseus' brows furrowed as he thought to himself. 'Why was she telling him?’She looked away from him and stood away from him. “I don't want Sherry to think that she has to get engaged to you for my sake. You don't have to try to be nice to me.”[As if! [He is only here for the points!]Perseus gave her a dismissal wave. “I am not here because of Sherry, nor am I here because of you or your grandpa. I heard you are the top gamer, I am here to inform you that I will work on the game with you. Also, is there any game you have been finding hard to win recently?” He hit the nail on the head.
Eris, clad in baggy shirts and pants, led him to her gaming office. Her short hair added to the vibe, giving off a clear tomboyish charm as she led him into Kim's mansion as soon as they got out of the car. They walked into the house; Eris didn't pass through the entrance like Sherry had gone in with him the other day.Instead, she passed through the back way. His eyes scanned the place as they walked by, the house was endowed with antiques and Perseus couldn't help but wonder if they were fake.“This is my gaming office.” Eris announced this as she pushed open a door.Perseus was not interested in knowing about her office; he was only interested in getting that game done. So, he took his seat in front of the monitor, picked up the headphones, and peered at the screen.“Can I see the game now?” He glanced at her.Eris was bragging to him about her room, but she noticed that he wasn't interested.“Yes.”She pulled out a seat and sat next to him before inserting her passcode on the moni
“Why would I cheat?” Perseus was getting pissed. “I found the treasure easily, and what is going to happen because I won the game?"“Oh.” She released the mouse before her face flushed red with embarrassment. “I forgot about that.”[Host, your model is going to be dead soon if you don't leave.]Perseus guarded the model towards the main house for the other player. According to his analysis, the other player was no longer in the main house and had already left to hunt for the treasure.It didn't take Perseus a minute to destroy the main house. He was done in a blink, and Eris was still shocked at how easy the game was.“Is that the end?” She questioned the words "victory' was all over the screen. “What about the prize money?”"I bet that you are surprised that I won the game that you couldn't.” Perseus' chest was swelling with pride as he said that.“Shut up!” She snapped. “You just got lucky.”“How about I take that one position from you in the world of games?”“Don't you dare!” She s
'Iris, how do you find proof that an antique is fake?’[Trash it.]'What?’[Break it and find the proof.][There are four types of antiques.]. [Genuine, fake, half real, and fake worthy.]Perseus remembered it from the book: the genuine ones were the real ones. The fake were the trashy ones; the half-real were the ones that are half genuine and half fake. The last ones were the fake ones that were expensive and had some value.You are catching up. To find the fake antique, you need to break the antiques. [There is going to be a QR code in it; that's proof.]“What about the half-real ones?”[They have a little purple jade.]“Do I have to break them?”[No.]“Then what?”[Dip it in hot water, and the fake part color will fade.]A smirk curled up Perseus lips; he was going to be able to prove to them that he wasn't trashy like they think he is.“I am going to prove that it is fake by trashing it,” Perseus announced. “I will pay for the antique if I can't show the proof.”“Hah! Are you try
They know how to pick genuine antiques—83 percent. [Mr. Kim is great at picking genuine antiques, 100%.][The fake antiques are realistic, just like the original; it is hard for these old men to identify them.]“Is my mission complete?” Perseus yawned; he was bored with all of the antique stuff.“I will take it all since you said the rest are genuine too.” Mr. Kim said. “It's a clean trade. My grandson-in-law isn't good at picking genuine antiques.” The old man winked at him. “I will just take the one he picks because he tried to help me.”It was then that the old man relaxed; they clearly understood the lie that Mr. Kim had told.Perseus' brows furrowed. Did Mr. Kim doubt him and want to protect him?He is doubting you, no. He is trying to protect you. Yes.]“I see.” Yama shot Perseus a glare. “He was just bragging previously.”Perseus now knew that the man didn't intend to let him break the antiques in the first place. He knew that they were fake all along.[Yup!]Seeing that he was
