“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. The
The three watched the car drive off. Eris stepped away from Perseus as soon as the car was out of sight. [I hope you are sure about her coming back, because if you fail a mission in your daily quest, All is going to be canceled, and the penalty is going to be tough.]Ten minutes passed, and the car had yet to come back. Perseus still waited. “I think we should leave. She would have found another guy on the roadside and asked for his help instead.” Eris said. Sherry didn't believe it. “Is there any other guy she would pick instead of Perseus?” Eris thought for a while. “Zeppelin? He is hot too.” “Do you have a crush on my brother?” Perseus asked. “Gross, No.” Eris denied. “He smiles a lot, and I frown all the time. We can't be together, and I already like someone else.” Sherry grinned. “Spill the beans; who is he?” Eris' frown deepened. “I didn't want to talk about it.” It was right then that the BNW stopped in front of them. Coming at the right moment to stop Sherry from ques
Iris vanished into the thin air. Perseus wondered where Iris was going, but he was unable to ask. “It would be 50-25-25.” Sherry continued. “Perseus would take fifty percent, while we would take 25 percent. Of course, we will be the ones to find the job, but he will do the job.” “How exactly are we going to find these clients?” Eris asked, taking an ingredient off the shelves and shoving it into the cart. Sherry placed a finger on her chin. “Perhaps, online?” Perseus could see them from the corner of his eyes. Eris was yet to respond when a man appeared behind Sherry. He grabbed her by the arm and stared down at her. He was Geg, a notorious gangster. Sherry flinched when the man touched her. “Let go of me!” A grin spread across Geg’s face. “Our boss took a liking to you, and he would like you to meet him.”Perseus turned his head to look at the man who was speaking, and then more men walked in, trying to look intimidating. A terrified look appeared on Sherry's face as they sur
