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
Perseus squatted until she was at eye level with Geg. The young man trembled harder than ever as Perseus reached out to grab his arm. “Are you going to break them?” Geg stammered. Perseus shook his head; breaking the wrist was enough for him. “When you came in here and held my fiance, you said that your master took a liking to her. I would love to meet your master.”Geg's eyes widened in disbelief. “No. I can't take you.Perseus's grip on Geg's hand tightened. “Are you sure that you don't want to take me there?” Geg's face went pale, and he gulped down nothing in particular. “Yes, I have made up my mind. I will take you to him just as you have requested.” “Good.” Perseus released Geg and walked over to Eris and Sherry. “Can you both get the groceries? I have something to deal with.”Eris released Sherry. “Are you sure that we will be able to shop here after all that happened?” Perseus stared at all the people who were watching. They were staring at them with keen eyes, and they
It happened so fast that Geg had no idea how Zach ended up on the floor with Perseus' hand pinning his head down. Geg's jaw dropped when he saw that Perseus had defeated his boss.Geg began to regret going against Perseus even after Perseus had let him go. As far as he could see, Perseus was no ordinary man.“Who could he be?” Geg thought aloud.Perseus stared at Geg, who backed away almost immediately. On the other hand, the ladies were stunned and disappointed by Zach.They were amazed by Perseus' strength and began thinking of ways to get his attention. After all, being with a man like him guaranteed their safety.Geg was still shivering from Perseus' intense gaze, causing him to lose his balance and fall on his buttocks. At that moment, Perseus looked away from Geg and back at Zach.“Are you going to leave my fiancée alone or not?” Perseus asked Zach. Zach tried to murmur a word, but it was suppressed. Perseus released Zach and made him sit. “Are you?” Perseus repeated. Zach ha
The sound of footsteps echoed around the dark passageway. Black shoes, black long pants, and blue shirts. Lexi had a little book in her hand as she made her way towards the long passage. “Cold Case Room.” She muttered as she reached out to pull her hair into a ponytail. “Room 223.”.That was her destination. She glanced around the place, checking for anyone. She had finally found the number of the Cold Case Room after a long time of searching for it. She had told Perseus that she was going to help him with the investigation into his parent's deaths, but so far. She hadn't found anything yet. She was about to mention the case to her boss, but she had second thoughts. The case had been long buried, and she needed to find the file to know what happened. The Cold Case Room was the room where files of cases that weren't completed or buried were kept. She guessed that the file of Perseus' parents would be there since their murderer was never found. The Cold Case Room was prohibited for
Lexi nodded. “Deal. You better don't tell on me.” A smile stretched across Luke's face. “I won't.” Lexi glanced at the book and back at the environment. It was then that she noticed that they had gotten to a really large door. “Cold Case Room.” Lexi read the words written above the room. Although the words were peeling off, she had no difficulty reading them. “Is this the prohibited room we weren't allowed to go into?” Luke questioned. “Are we going to get electrocuted or something if we go next to the door?” His voice was laced with sarcasm.Lexi ignored him. He was scanning the door, but her gaze was focused on the lock. It was a keyhole; she had expected and pictured a padlock and wasn't expecting that. “Do you have the keys?” Lexi asked.“I thought you would have it,” Luke replied. “I wasn't able to get the keys.”Lexi pulled out a pin from her pocket. “I didn't plan on using the keys in the first place. I planned to break in, and that's exactly what I am going to do.” Luke
