Perseus pushed open the door to Sherry's room and walked in. Sherry was sitting upright on the bed with a book in her hand. His eyes darted toward her leg. The doctor had said that she wouldn't be able to work on them properly. Also, he hasn't given her the pills since the doctors just left her. He guessed that it would be suspicious to give her the pills and help her heal immediately. He was going to do it gradually until she was completely healed. “You are back.” Sherry muttered without raising her head to look at him. “I was wondering where you went.” Perseus stepped closer to her; Lexi whimpered in his arms, and that caught Sherry's attention. “Who is that?” Sherry asked as she raised her head to look at Perseus. Perseus placed Lexi on the couch and sat on it too. “You should learn to look up at whoever enters your ward, Sherry.” Sherey pouted. “I already knew it was you; I smelled your cologne.” Perseus's brows arched.Sherry had a curious look on her face as Lexi clutch
It took a while for Perseus to explain what it was to her. “Are you sure it is safe for her to use that?” Sherry questioned. “It is.” Perseus opened the lid of the bottle and took out a pill. “How many should I feed her?” He asked Iris. [One pill is enough.]One pill? Perseus closed the lid and shoved it back into his pocket. He wondered if Lexi had behaved that way before. It was going to be quite dangerous if she behaved that way in front of people. He held up her head and fed her the pill. He waited until she swallowed before letting her go. A minute passed, and Lexi stopped trembling. Perseus rose from the couch and placed her on the couch properly. He took off his jacket and damped it around her. “I guess she will be okay when she wakes up.” Perseus said. “I hope so too.” Perseus scanned the room; there wasn't any other place for him to sit, but there was a space by the bed next to Sherry. Instead of sitting next to her, he leaned against the wall. The bed was barely en
On the cardboard, read the words that Perseus never expected to see. His eyes rounded in shock, and amidst that shock came anger. pure anger that was threatening to rip him. 'I HAD IN YOUR PARENTS DEATH A LITTLE BIT.' Read the words on the cardboard. The man's lips curled into a wide grin. Perseus fist clenched. Had they found him, or were they trying to figure out if he was the right person?[They don't know it's you. 100%]I'm trying to figure out if it's you. 100%]The expression on Perseus' face disappeared immediately after he heard those words from Iris. “Really?” [Yup!][He is only trying to get a reaction from you.]Perseus realized that they were keeping an eye on him like that masked man had said to him. A smile slowly crept onto Perseus's lips. The man was stunned to see Perseus smile; it was more like he was taken aback.Perseus leaned against the window and peeled his gaze from the man. He slowly yawned and closed the curtains before turning away. As much as his bo
The panel was still in front of him but it shifted to show him the location of the killer. The killer was out of the building but he was close to the hospital. Perseus made his way out of the hallway and took the right turn. He was out of the hospital in a matter of two minutes. He placed Lexi in the back seat of the car and helped Sherry sit in the passenger seat.He had just gotten into his car and began driving when he spotted a figure through the rearview mirror staring at him. Well, he had two people he was going to come after as soon as his daily mission was completed. Yet he had doubts that he was going to be able to complete his mission before going after the man. He just had to wait for them or go after them before completing his mission. He tried to think of a way to make it possible. The only things on his plate were him heading to Freya_ja restaurant and helping Tobias pick an antique. He could go to Freya_jo restaurant and have dinner. [Yup! As long as you walk into
“I heard that Zero was able to take care of it. We don't need to worry about him sending us again. He was probably going to send Zero.” One of the men stated that he had a smile on his face. The second chuckled. “Zero must think that he is special; he is just a pawn that the boss uses anytime he has a hard job.” “Yeah, that makes him useful and us useless.” The third man chimed. “Zero is more skilled than we are; don't get on his bad side.” The other two men glared at the last man, who had just spoken, but he shrugged it off. “I am stating facts; if you are happy, you are weak. That makes it easier to die, come to think of it if someone were to attack us right now. Do you think you both will survive?” The third man asked, his gaze snapping in direction. Perseus was stunned when the man's eyes met his. It was as if the man saw him even though he had the invisible coat on. [That's impossible.][Host, no one can see you as long as you have the coat on you.]Was it just a coincidenc
Zero glanced at Z, who couldn't help but feel uneasy about Zero's quiet expression. “What about Danny?” Z asked. “He is dead,” Zero replied. Zero could already tell what had happened to Danny. Xell had told him about it, and Danny had taken his word about protecting Fiona and died alongside her. Z didn't look surprised or concerned. “Serves them right, so now, where were we?” “What are you talking about?” “Since they failed at this mission, I was thinking that you have to go after Perseus and get my recipe.” Zero was already expecting that. Z couldn't go by himself; that was why he was sending others. Zero shook his head. “I’m afraid I can't go.” Zero muttered. “Don't you feel bad for what you have done? You sent them to their deaths, and you are expecting me to go there and after him?!”Z looked indifferent. “Danny's death must have been a mistake, but it was helpful. And for Fiona, she had always been rebellious. She deserves to be killed or perhaps get killed by the one she
Z groaned as his back connected to the floor. Perseus could tell that the man was strong, but not as strong as him. Perseus released Z and let him stand up on his feet. Z glared at Perseus, still stunned that he had been thrown off the floor by Perseus. “I underestimated you,” Z muttered. “You are stronger than I thought.” Zero gulped; Z was much stronger than him, and Perseus was able to take him down fast. Zero knew if he didn't soak up fast, Perseus was going to go after him next. Perseus ignored Z and turned his gaze to Zero. “What do you want me to do with him? Do you want to take revenge on him?” I saw that Perseus was asking for his opinion first. Zero, who was just building up his courage to speak, was stunned. “Me?” Perseus nodded. “Yes.” Z's eyes widened. “Why are you asking him about taking revenge? I thought you came here to give me the recipe! He brought you here!” Once again, Z was ignored by Perseus. “I brought him here because I wanted him to take you down an
[Two minutes left.]Two minutes? How was two minutes enough for him to deal with Z? Perseus thought about how he was going to do it. How did thirty minutes go so fast? [Well, you did play a punching game with him.]“You could have warned me at the time.” [Yeah, sure. I just did. How should you know that you have less than two minutes now?]Perseus glanced at Zero. “What kind of revenge do you get from Z?” Zero was stunned that Perseus was asking him. “I just want him to get beaten up, and then I would burn up his office and...”Perseus was not listening; in a few seconds, Z was beaten to pulp. A lighter was in Perseus' hand, and he held a sheet of paper in his hand. “Like this?” Perseus was questioned as he handed the burning paper to Zero. Zero took it from him. “Could you take Z away?” Zero was still confused by what he saw; how could Perseus be that fast? But Perseus stunned him again by speeding off with Z and returning almost immediately. “Done?” Perseus asked. Zero toss
