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
Perseus got out of his car. His hand tugged in his pocket as he headed towards the path he knew Tobias was on. He had just called Tobias a few minutes ago and informed him that he was going to help him pick an antique. Come to think of it, he hasn't seen Tobias for a while. Soon, he found Tobias waving at him. “You came?” Tobias sounded happy that Perseus was there. “I said I was going to come, didn't I?” Tobias smiled. “I thought you were joking.” “I wasn't.” By this time, they were already walking into the antique street. There were several sellers lined up on the street, and as they walked, Perseus' eyes scanned all of the antiques that he could see. [Antique ability activated.]“Since you helped me pick that antique that was bought by Mr. Kim, I have used the money for an investment and also bought some antiques.” Perseus arched his brows. He already knew that the investment Tobias was talking about must have been a total flop. “Was the investment profitable?” Perseus ask
Perseus and Tobias exchanged glances. Tobias shrugged as Perseus stared at him. Mr. Joe thought Perseus was going to plead with him; instead, Perseus rose to his feet. "Okay, Mr. Joe. I will buy from another stall.” Perseus took the vase from Tobias and returned it to Mr. Joe. Mr. Joe was stunned, but he took back his vase and returned it to its original position. Tobias gave Perseus a questioning look, confused by what Perseus was doing. “Are you going to leave the antique like that?” "Yes, I am,” Perseus muttered as he walked down the street. “He isn't the only one who would have genuine antiques on his stall, and I don't have the time to persuade him.” “I don't know why he is like that to you, but I usually get boy stuff from him.”“And got cheated, I guess.” Tobias glanced at Perseus. “He isn't that bad, but you have to pay him if you know the antiques are genuine." Perseus shrugged. “He does know that a few of his antiques are fake, but he sells them to you expensively. So
Mr. Joe stared at Perseus as if asking if he bought anything like that. The lady followed his gaze and stared at Perseus.As if realizing what was happening, Tobias walked up to the lady. “We are searching for it too. He doesn't have the jug; I know a store that does.”Perseus's brows arched as Tobias lay firmly. The lady stared at Mr. Joe before walking ahead of Tobias.“You better not be lying about knowing a store that has that jug,” she muttered.“I'm not,” Tobias replied. He nodded at Mr. Joe and fell in step with Perseus.The lady was in the middle of them, and her gaze was solely focused on Perseus, to the extent that he was getting uncomfortable.“What?” He turned his head to meet her gaze. “Is there anything you want to say to me?”She shook her head. “You look quite familiar. Have we met?”“No,” Perseus replied. “We haven't.”“I'm Katherine, or Kathy for short. What's your name?”“Perseus,” he replied.“Nice to meet you, Perseus.”She went quiet after that and began talking
[Ding! A new mission has been unlocked.] [Participate in the tournament and win.] [Reward: 23 full stat points and 100 points.] [Punishment: Cut off the little man.] [Duration: No time duration.] Perseus glared at Iris. “How many times have I told you not to give me missions that are not necessary?” [Countless times, host.] [I have gotten used to it.] “What would I gain from the mission?” [Points?] “I still have a lot to do, and we don’t even have a pill.” [We can make another one.] [You just have to ask the system, and it will help.] “It’s more like you are bragging.” [If you call it that, I am.] Perseus wanted to argue more until Sherry’s voice caught his attention. “Is it that bad?” Sherry inquired, staring at him with an arched earbrow. Perseus' gaze shifted to the ladies; Rita and Ruth looked like they regretted telling him about the tournament. “We didn’t know you would hate it that much,” Ruth muttered. “We shouldn’t have asked Sherry to add your name to the li
“So, what do you want to talk about?” Perseus asked.They were in the passageway now, next to a window that overlooked all the outsides of the villa.The clothes he wanted to change into were with him, and he glanced down the hallway. Eris had her hand folded with a large frown on her face.“How did you let that happen to her?” Eris inquired. “I thought I left you both together.”“I was making the pasta, and she was far from me. She was shoved. That's how she got injured; he shoved her too hard."“Who shoved her?”“Danny.”“The dead guy?”“Yeah.”“Whatever, you could have saved her.”“It caught me off guard,” Perseus responded, glancing at her. “The medicine is going to help her heal faster.” He threw the clothes on his shoulder before she could respond. “I have to change my outfits for Delinder’s party.”Eris shrugged. “Okay, I can't go with you. I need to be there for Sherry.”“No problem.”Perseus walked away. He opened the door to another room and walked in. An hour later, Perseu
