Perseus stopped in front of the shelf. “Is it something I can dodge, Iris?”[Yes.]He reached out to grab the book from the shelf. Sam had a huge smirk on his face at that moment, clearly waiting for Perseus to take the hit from whatever came from the trap.Perseus' hand touched the book, and just immediately, a dart left a part of the shelf, aiming at his head. He bent over, dodging the arrow, and spun around to see what the dart hit. The book was in his hand now.The dart brushed past Sam and hit the wall. Sam’s eyes widened, his eyes darting towards Perseus. He couldn’t believe that Perseus had dodged the dart.“You tried to kill me even though I was being nice to you,” Perseus muttered, walking back to his spot in front of Sam. “I have the book with me; are there other things that you would like to explain?”Sam gulped. “There might be some things to explain. We have done a lot of things; I have no idea which one you are talking about.”“Tell me everything, then.” He replied. “For
“It depends on what you are going to ask.”, Perseus responded by folding his arms. “You and a cop came here. Am I right?”“Yes.” Perseus was getting fed up with the questions the man was asking him. “You can already see that.”“How did the men get injured? It looked more like an attack than self-defense.”“They had traps everywhere.” He replied. “Their traps got them when we were chasing after them.”“Do you also mean that the trap broke that man’s leg?” The officer gestured for Ben, whose limbs were all broken.”Perseus ran his hand through his hair; he had no idea that Lexi was going to do such a thing. “I guess so. You should see the house yourself! I bet none of your officers will be able to walk into that house without being stung by a dart.”As if on a clue, an officer who had just walked into the house screamed. A dart had got him on the neck.“See,” Perseus muttered. “Should I say I told you so?”The officer gave Perseus a suspicious stare before closing his notepad. “Thanks
“I thought you said I was going to make you late,” Perseus muttered.Sherry glanced at him through the mirror. “Would you stop saying that? No one knew if you bathed.”“What made you think I wouldn't bathe?” He inquired.“Stop arguing, you two. We have more things to worry about.” Eris chimed.“Hmph!” Sherry pouted.“I will just read a book while she styles her hair.” He responded. “Eris, care to share your books?”“You haven’t read a thing?” Eris demanded.“Yes, I haven’t.”“And you expect me to believe you will understand anything you read now?”“I will understand everything.” He reassured her.“That’s not possible!” Eris yelled.“Cut it out, you two.” Sherry chirped in. “Just give the book to him; perhaps he had read something and wanted to revise.”Eris hesitated before opening her bag and handing the book to him.“Thanks.” He took the book and sat on the couch.He began scanning the book with his eyes, page by page. Eris was watching everything he was doing with a confused look o
“Are you surprised?” Delinder asked. “I knew you wouldn’t come to see me if I invited you, so I did this. Are you impressed?”Perseus shook his head. “I am not.”“Huh? Why?” She looked disappointed that he said that.He ran his hand through his hair. He couldn’t believe that she was going to go all those lengths to see him.“What was I expecting anyway? You had made it clear that day that you didn’t want anything to do with me, but I am now your fiance. My father approved of our relationship and even made you my fiance. So you have to treat me like one.”Perseus' jaw dropped. “Hold your horses. I am already engaged to Sherry. There is no way that I am engaged to you. Besides, it was only a contract for us to pretend to date to stop your engagement with Van.”Delinder placed a finger on her chin. “But I don’t remember us signing any contracts. Do you have evidence to back up your claims?”It was then that he remembered that they didn’t sign any contracts.[That’s a huge mistake, host.]
It was after three classes that Perseus went to grab lunch. Since he hadn’t eaten since morning, he was starving. Although he could have just ordered or gone to a restaurant, he didn’t want to go through all the trouble. He also hadn’t seen Delinder since that incident, and he had no shared classes with Sherry either. “What’s your order?” the food vendor asked him. Then, he realized it was his turn to get his order. After telling her all he wanted, he carried his tray to a seat and sat. He was just about to shove a spoonful into his mouth when Zeppelin joined him. “Hey, Perseus.” Zeppelin was beaming with smiles as he spoke. “It’s been a while. Aren’t we brothers? Why are we staying away from each other?” Perseus paused. “I don’t know either," he said as he shoved the spoon into his mouth. “Well, tasty.” “I didn’t want to eat at the cafeteria, but I had no other choice because I wanted to speak to you.” Raising his head to look at Zeppelin, he asked. “What do you want to talk a
“Does it matter?” Perseus asked casually. “We recently just figured out that we are related, and I introduced you to the rest of the family. All you had to do was stay low with them, and I will deal with this. They know me, but they don’t know about you. Our parents separating us was a great idea. Now if I were to die, you would be safe.”The spoon in Zeppelin’s grip was already broken. “What are you talking about? We were friends before we did DNA! We should have gotten even closer, but you go ahead and do stuff without me.”“I had been doing it alone before you appeared, so I figured it would be better to do it alone. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to burden you, and I wanted to keep you safe.”Perseus studied Zeppelin’s expression. He hadn’t seen Zeppelin look like that before. He remembered that Iris had told him to tell Zeppelin and bring him along, but he had refused. Was this a punishment for his refusal?“You shouldn’t shoulder all the burden! You have done enough fo
“How long have you been able to see it?” Perseus asked.“It’s been a while, but I would say that I have been seeing it since we first met, but on the day we were in class together, I saw it properly.”Perseus sighed. “I was suspicious about you seeing it then,” Perseus replied, clasping his hands together. “Then, let’s forget about that. What is the thing you found out about our parents?”Zeppelin went quiet for a while. He stared at Perseus like he was joking about adding him to his investigation.“Before I talk about that, I would like to apologize for saying that you aren't doing anything to find our parents’s killers. And I take back my words that you are chasing after women.” Zeppelin apologized. “That was a terrible thing for me to say. I guess I was triggered by the news I saw this morning about you and that mayor’s daughter. I am sorry.”“It’s nothing,” Perseus replied. “It was all a mistake, I understand. So, let’s get into it. Lexi showed me something she got this morning. I
Mr. Kurt slammed his fist against the table as soon as Lexi left. He still couldn’t believe that he was wrong. He had never been wrong about such a thing, yet she just proved to him that he was wrong.He leaned back against the chair, rubbing his forehead in frustration. Mr. Hope was going to be angry with him if he was unable to bring the files. If Lexi didn’t take the files, does that mean that she didn’t search for them enough?He removed his hand from his face and stood up. Grabbing the keys from his table, he hurried out of his office, determined to find the files.As soon as he left his office, he was out of sight. Lexi walked out of her hiding spot, a few steps away from his office. She stared at the direction he ran off in. The first thing she did after that was to disconnect the camera in his office and walk into his office.She searched his table, the shelves, and everything else. After a few minutes of searching, she didn’t find anything that was related to Perseus’s parent
