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
“Where are you heading?” Sherry asked as Perseus headed for his car after dropping them off. “The restaurant,” Perseus responded. “It's been a while since I went there.”Sherry glanced at Eris, who was standing at the entrance of the villa. “Didn't you say you wanted to go to the restaurant and do a part-time job?” “I can't. I have afternoon classes.” Eris replied. Perseus halted halfway towards his car. Iris had asked him to skip school with the girls. If Eris goes to school, that would make any other things he does a failure. Iris was not there to answer his question, and that made him confused.“Didn’t we say we were going to skip school today?” Sherry questioned. “Why are you heading for classes?” “What about we head to the restaurant together to have a meal?” Perseus suggested it as fast as he could. “We already had a meal.” Eris’s frown was even more pronounced. “Are you trying to make me skip school on purpose?” Perseus was quick to think of something else to say. “I am
“What are you doing?” Luke tried asking, but Lexi covered his lips with her palm. “Shh.” She whispered. “They are here.” Footsteps filled the room, along with voices. Luke shoved himself deeper behind the table, afraid they might see him, but Lexi was more concerned about them hearing his movements. She silently curses since she hasn't found Perseus' parent's files yet. She might not have the chance to find them at all. The legs of the men were crystal clear to them as they walked past the large table where Lexi and Luke were hiding. Lexi glanced at Luke, ready to help if he began panicking. Luke had already folded the files and shoved them into a bag that Lexi didn't know he was carrying. “I see nothing wrong with this door.” Mr. Kurt said as he stood in front of the door he had tried getting open. “Is it blocked?” Mr. Hope's eyes darted to the pin that was lying on the floor. He ignored it like it was nothing. “Quit staring at the door, Kurt. Let's get the files and leave.”
