Sherry stared at her phone, reading the comments that were pouring in. Her fans were talking about how expensive the watch was.“I will pre-order it then. I don’t think my fiancé would let me leave without buying something.” He said this before pulling out the gold card the system gave him. “Swipe it.”The man took it from Perseus and swiped the card. The payment was made, and he returned his card and returned it to Sherry.“Let’s go check out all the things you picked.” He mumbled.Due to the amount of stuff she bought, Rue took the carts to the counter as soon as they were full and came back with another one. “Okay.”*****Sherry kicked the tires of the car as she waited for him to be done with the payments for the things they had bought. While she was waiting, Rue walked out of the store holding a tray containing a glass of juice.Sherry had already stopped live streaming a while until they were going somewhere else. She was sighing when Rue approached her.“Since you are a VIP, t
He followed all the instructions that were given by the system, and in a few minutes, he was done. At the same time, Timtat was pulling up in front of the hospital. Although Iris had told him Sherry was going to be awake in three hours, He still wanted to let her stay at the hospital; it was going to be better for her. After dropping her off for the doctors to attend to her, he waited in the waiting room for the test to be done.Timtat was standing at the end of the room. His head lowered, waiting for Perseus to scold him, but Perseus paid no attention.The poison was a harmful one. She was poisoned with Vaintart. [It is usually mixed with something liquid to function well.]I am currently hacking into the surveillance footage in front of the store. [Wait a little bit.]Perseus waited patiently until Iris was done. The panel appeared in front of him with a video of what happened. His fist tightened when he watched what happened; no wonder she looked so familiar to him.She had been t
As the syringe was aimed at him, he glanced back over his shoulder and dodged her attack. The syringe almost touched his face. He jumped back, narrowly avoiding it.Rue was not ready to give up. She lunged at him again, and this time he kicked her in the belly, sending her staggering backward. First, he had to make sure Sherry was safe.“How could you do this to me? All I did was love you.” She claimed, her voice shaking as she spoke.Perseus's gaze shifted to the door. He had to leave, but he knew she was going to do something stupid if he did, and since she was still with the poison, He had to stop her from using it, including stopping her from doing it on herself, which he doubted she was going to do.[Sherry is going to be safe.][As long as the medication is within her, none of those poisons would work.]He sighed in relief upon hearing that. The poison wasn’t going to harm her even if she was injected with another, but he wasn’t going to let her get injected.“Rue, calm down,” P
“Here you are. For a second, I thought you weren’t going to come.” Zeppelin said as soon as Perseus walked into the restaurant.Wearing a cross bag, Perseus looked exhausted as he approached them, and they noticed it. He had booked a reservation, and now they had a private place to talk and eat.Since it was night, the light in the room was bright. Their table was next to the large glass that overlooked the city.He walked towards them and took his seat, which was in between them. “Why were you late?” Lexi asked. Perseus glanced at his wristwatch; he didn’t realize he was late until he found Lexi and Zeppelin at the table. He was twenty minutes late."Sorry, I am late.” He apologized, choosing to ignore Lexi’s question.“Did you run into an old friend?” Zeppelin questioned.Seeing that both curious eyes were piercing through him, he knew he couldn’t keep quiet about it anymore.“Far from it. Sherry won’t let me leave after she wakes up. She wanted to know what happened and how I sav
Zeppelin placed the journal on the table, and Perseus took it. "The man cautioned me against pursuing the gang, as one of their members had defeated multiple teams of trained law enforcement officers, including those skilled in martial arts. At first, I found it hard to believe, but I think their power has something to do with... Zeppelin trailed off as he struggled to find the right word to describe it."[An advanced technology.] Iris said. Perseus moved his head to see Iris, but she was nowhere to be found. [Don’t bother looking for me, host; I am sitting on your head.][Guess what? I have finally figured it out. Zeppelin can’t see me again, nor can he hear me. I made something, and it’s only temporary, though.][It is going to be worn out in five hours.]Perseus thought that she was going to offer her opinion, but she was still wary of Zeppelin. "Okay, so how exactly does advanced technology aid in enhancing their strength?"[If Zeppelin is claiming that their strength was booste
“Didn't you pay us to use this room for 24 hours?” Lexi asked. “I did. I also asked them to make sure there was a bed in it.” He said, looking past her to the double beds in the room. “I think we might have unpleasant visitors,” Zeppelin said. “I chose to ignore them.”The knock on the door was getting harder and harder. It was like the person on the other side would break down the door if they refused to open it. Not able to beat the noise, Perseus rose to his feet. “I will get the door. Keep the book safe.” “Are you serious?” Zeppelin stood too. “You don't know what is behind that door, and you are heading to open it.” “It's better than letting them break it. Isn't it?” Perseus replied. “Trust me, I will be fine; all you have to do is keep the books safe.” Lexi nodded before grabbing the journal. “Okay.”Zeppelin wanted to protest, but he knew it was of no use talking to Perseus about it. Tension and anticipation rose in the air as Perseus walked to the door and unlocked it wi
Perseus knew he had to act fast. With the men surrounding him and the first attacker heading for the door, he had to come up with a plan to take them down before it was too late.‘Iris, do you have any weapons that can take out multiple assailants at once?’ Perseus asked, his mind racing with possibilities.[Yes, there are several options. How about a flash grenade?] Iris suggested.‘Perfect. Send it to me.’ Perseus replied.As he awaited the arrival of the flash grenade, Perseus focused on keeping his senses sharp, ready to dodge any incoming attacks. He could feel the tension in the air, the anticipation of the impending confrontation.Suddenly, a small object materialized in front of him, and Perseus reached out to grab it. It was a flash grenade, sleek and compact, with a single button on the side.Perseus wasted no time. With a quick flick of his thumb, he activated the grenade and tossed it into the midst of the attackers. The grenade exploded with a blinding flash of light, mom
That time, Perseus was falling to the ground. Zeppelin and Lexi watched him fall, but they couldn’t do anything about it because they had to worry about themselves. It was getting harder to hold onto the man’s attack; he was so fast, and Zeppelin was getting tired with each passing minute.Not only was he tired, he was bleeding from his arm. Yet, the man was still as fast as he was. Zeppelin clutched his arm as Lexi fought the man on her own. Though he was worried about Perseus, he knew that he had his injuries and had to help Lexi.She had cuts on her shoulder and was bleeding from them, but her hand still swung fast, like the cut was nothing.Tearing his clothes, he wrapped them around his injured arm to stop the bleeding. He glanced at Lexi; she was trying to hold back the man's attacks, their knives pressing against each other.The knife disconnected, and they both moved backward. Lexi’s legs almost refused to hold her, but she managed to stand straight with the knife still in her
