My Money Spendrift System Chapter 222_Antique.
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 223_Katherine.
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 224_Return of Eris.
[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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 225_Explanation.
“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

Mr. Kim?At the mention of Mr. Kim, Delinder stared at Perseus. He looked stunned to see Mr. Kim there, and there was something else she saw in his gaze. It was like he had done something else. It was then that she realized she had done something wrong. If he knew Mr. Kim, he was definitely a big shot.She regretted not reading the files about him. She had just read his name, his age, and the school he attended. If her father were to ask her questions about him, she wasn’t going to be able to answer.‘What is he doing here?’ Perseus asked himself as he stared at Mr. Kim. He had just claimed to be dating someone when he was engaged to Sherry. The night was terrible already. He managed to compose himself and act like he had done nothing. Sherry had given him her permission, but there was no way he was going to tell them it was fake."Hello, Mr. Kim.” Perseus greeted. “It was a surprise to see you here.”Mr. Garrett's gaze shifted from Perseus to Mr. Kim. “You both know each other?”“Ye
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 227_New Competition
As soon as Mr. Kim threw the words toward Mr. Garrett, he threw them back almost immediately.“Says someone who had more than two lovers in the past.” Mr. Garrett retorted.Delinder was still shocked that her father had accepted the relationship. He had always rejected everyone that she brought. Does that mean that, to him, Perseus was the only one worthy of her?A bright smile appeared on her face. If her father was right, she wasn’t going to let Perseus go. She might as well steal him from Miss Kim.Perseus let out a sigh of relief. The panel was in front of him now, and his daily tasks were listed all over it. Every one of them was ticked, and Iris had just ticked the last one.[I didn’t expect you to be done so soon.][I thought that I would finally be able to punish you.]“Didn’t I tell you that not all dreams come to pass?”[Mine would!][Ding! You have completed your mission.][Punishment has been waived, and the rewards have been granted.][Congratulations, host.][You have ad
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 228_Beat Him Up.
As soon as Van fell over, he stared at Perseus with a terrified look on his face. Delinder had no idea what happened, and Van's men hurried over to where he was.“Boss, are you alright?” His men asked him as they tried to help him up.Van refused the help by slapping off their hands. He slowly rose to his feet, and despite the resistance he felt, he managed to stand straight and look at Perseus. “You think you are tough, don’t you?” Van asked Perseus, his eyes blazing with fury, because he had just made fun of himself in the presence of so many people.Perseus pulled Delinder to the other side before glaring at Van. “My girlfriend already told you about Father blessing our relationship. You are old news.”Van’s face turned red with rage as Perseus said that to him. His gaze turned to everyone in the room; they were staring at him, and a few were snickering.“I thought they were a thing, but who would have guessed that Van was going to be tossed away like trash?” One of the ladies mut
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 229_I Saved You!
Delinder kept on pulling Perseus, heading in a direction that Perseus knew nothing about. He tried to stop her; he tried to tell her that it wasn’t the direction of his car, but she wasn’t listening.“We have to find somewhere to hide so they don’t find you.” Delinder blurted out. “Do you think that I am unable to beat them all up?” Perseus asked her.She shook her head. “What do you take me for? I can’t let you get injured all because of me. It was my fault they were after you; I made him angry by bringing you over. And what made you think that you would be able to beat them or win? Van’s men are one of the best fighters; I don't think I stand a chance.”Perseus frowned; that was her looking down on him. He let her pull him and take him to a place he didn’t recognize. He could hear footsteps behind them as Delinder pulled him forward.“I am okay.” Perseus stopped running. She tried to pull him away, but he didn’t let her. He stared at her as she used all of her strength, trying to

Chapter 470_Finale.
Two years later, Perseus was at the airport, having just landed back in his home country after traveling full-time for two years. He hadn’t heard from anyone during that time, as he’d been constantly changing his number while traveling. He had successfully visited 100 countries and would have continued if not for being called home by his aunt.“Perseus!” Sherry’s voice made him flinch as she called out to him.It had been two years since they last spoke. After the game, he had vanished, claiming he wanted to travel.[She waited for you, Iris noted. I doubt the others did.][He glanced at her. <
Chapter 469_Winner
Perseus smiled at the cheering crowd, then turned his gaze to the other side of the audience. His eyes widened in embarrassment when he spotted his aunt and Eriane, waving an old, embarrassing photo of him.His aunt was cheering louder than the teenage girls around her, almost as if she were a teenager herself.He wondered how she even knew about the game and its location since he hadn’t invited her. He was sure he’d be scolded later, but he didn’t mind. Shifting his attention away from her, Perseus walked to his gaming seat.As soon as they all sat down, Perseus glanced at the opposing team, just centimeters away. Sam, one of the opposing players, grinned at him, then gave Perseus the middle finger and mouthed, "Loser. We all know how terrible you are at gaming. Stop using your handsome face

‘What is my chance of winning now?’ Perseus questioned.Iris glanced at a panel, her eyes widening in shock. [79%][What am I seeing? You have upgraded to level 20 for discovering Forest's secret and finding a way to defeat him.] She squealed.[Is this really true?]A glint of relief slowly washed over Iris. There was hope that Perseus could finally defeat the man who had long wanted his life.[You can beat him now;] Iris claimed. [Just breathe properly.][His skills have been sealed with all of the points you have left. He won’t be able to use them against you anymore.] Iris announced.Perseus glanced at her, and a t

Forest leaned in, his eyes cold and calculating. "This isn't just a fight. It's a battle of life and death. I often wonder why your parents gave the power I wanted most to you. I’ve waited for years to see if you’re worthy of the power you possess. But if this is all you have, then you’re not worthy and are just a piece of useless dirt occupying space."Before Perseus could react, Forest flung him across the room like a ragdoll. Perseus crashed to the ground, pain radiating through his body despite Iris’ efforts to heal him.[Perseus, we can’t keep this up much longer!] Iris warned. [You need to find a way to defeat him, or he’ll—]"I know," Perseus muttered, forcing himself to his feet. His vision blurred, but he refused to back down. "I know, Iris. But I’m not giving up. Not yet."Forest approached him slowly, almost leisurely. "So, what will it be, Perseus? Will you continue to fight and prove yourself? Or will you admit defeat and accept that you’re not ready for this?"“If you ad

[You can! You idiot!] Iris yelled.Perseus snapped out of his thoughts and dodged the attack by moving to the side as quickly as he could. This time, he didn’t hold back his power and unleashed it to the maximum.[Good job.]The man’s eyes glinted with admiration. “Aren’t you a little thing?” he asked. “I get to see someone I can actually fight with without killing them first. This is wonderful. You’re amazing!”Perseus gritted his teeth. The way the man spoke, it was clear he was looking down on him. “What is your name?”The man was taken aback by the sudden question. “Why are you asking your killer their name?”“I just wanted to know the name of the person I’m going to kill before I kill them,” Perseus replied. “Is it that hard?”The man’s lips curled. “Fine. My name is Forest. Not a common name, I guess.”Forest? Perseus’ eyes darted to Iris. ‘Analyze him with the name.’[I am unable to analyze him.] Iris said. [I tried when he arrived, but it was impossible.]“Let’s continue with
Chapter 465_Run
[Your death is near, host.] Iris said, appearing next to Perseus, her gaze fixed on Aera.[Why are you following her? Shouldn’t you be in the game?]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘I should be in the game, but she insisted on treating my injuries first.’[You have to leave her and level up!] Iris cried. [I have no idea what’s happening, but the panel is blinking more furiously than before.][Your death is really imminent! You need to listen to me and run!]‘I’m not running,’ Perseus replied. ‘That man killed one of my family members and went on with his life. Now, he’s come after me, leaving Zeppelin out of the fight. If I run and he can’t find me, he’ll go after Zeppelin and kill him.’Iris’ eyes widened. [If you don’t run, there’s a high chance you’ll die.]‘I know that.’[Why are you with her then?]‘I can’t let Zeppelin face the same fate as our parents.’[It won’t take long for you to reach level 20.] Iris retorted.‘I have something he doesn't have.’[And what’s that?]‘I have you and
Chapter 464_Game
Tossing in bed, Perseus looked away from Iris. “You don’t have to apologize, Iris. Even if I were to die, it wouldn’t be today anyway.”Iris scowled at him. [What did you just say?]“I said if I were to die, I wouldn’t—”His words were cut off as an electric current surged through him. The shock was so intense that he trembled all over, and when it stopped, steam was rising from his body.[That’s what you get for thinking about death, host!] Iris bellowed. [Do you know that both Lint and I will be gone if you die? Do you know how many people will be sad when you die?]Perseus flinched and slowly turned to lie on his back. Seeing the annoyed look on Iris’s face made him want to laugh.“I was only joking,” Perseus muttered. “I won’t die. I promise.”[You idiot!] Iris yelled, watching Perseus laugh. [If you die, I will kill you!]“How are you going to kill someone who’s already dead?”Two days later.“Are you ready?” Eris demanded, poking her head through the door to look at her teammat

Ethan handed his phone to Perseus, who glanced at the picture. It was indeed him. They must have gotten it from security footage somewhere.Perseus nodded. “Alright.”“See you later,” Ethan said with a grin. “Don’t go anywhere alone.”“Okay.”Perseus stared at Iris. “I thought I told you to deactivate all of the cameras.”[I did,] she claimed. [I might have forgotten to turn the others off.]Perseus headed for the door since the game of the day would begin soon.[You were wearing a mask though. They wouldn’t be able to recognize you,] Iris said. [There’s nothing to worry about.]Upon reaching the general living room, Perseus met with the others, who were peering at him as if he had something on his face.“You were late, Perseus,” Liliana said.Liliana was standing in front of them with a woman with long lashes next to her. She grinned at Perseus, a smile crossing her face.“I had something to do,” Perseus replied. “I apologize for arriving late.”“No worries,” Liliana said. “Now that
Chapter 462_Back to the Mansion
Perseus turned around to look at the man who had just spoken, ready to throw a punch if necessary.“Are you questioning me?” Cynthia demanded.From the look on her face, she seemed nothing like the woman she was with the leader. Perhaps seeing the man who had made her life a living hell taken by the police had given her some sort of confidence.“Nope,” he replied. “I was just worried if he would be able to lead the girls to his car. They are quite fierce.”“We know that,” Cynthia retorted. “Back to your job.”The men closed the door without any more questions, and Perseus glanced at her. He wanted to ask why she hadn’t let him use his fists but decided against it. In no time, the room was filled with women.Perseus gritted his teeth at the sight of them looking at him with terrified expressions. He wondered what all these women must have gone through to be that scared.“I will be letting them out now,” Perseus told Cynthia.“I will keep watch of the others,” Cynthia said before headin
