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
A bomb! The others didn't even have time to react when Perseus began calculating the possibilities. With the bomb, there was no way the eight floors would remain standing.He realized it would take three seconds to get them out of the room. However, he had never carried two people at once. He then decided that, instead of going out of the room and running, it would be better to escape through the window and go downward.Dashing toward Lexi and Zeppelin, he grabbed them and held them up on his sides before hurrying to the window. Lexi screamed as he jumped without warning. His speed managed to make the jump as far from the building as possible."Iris, invisible coat," Perseus called out.[Coming right away, host.]The coat appeared, draping around him and making them invisible. He stared at the panel in front of him and quickly selected the parachute from the shop panel—a great addition to reaching level 5. The parachute slowed their descent as the building exploded. Perseus glanced u
Two gazes held him. He thought for a while; he had no other excuse to give. He knew Lexi was going to get more suspicious of him and might end up figuring out what he was hiding.“I thought it did,” Perseus responded. “I just searched through it and pulled it out.”“Hmm,” Zeppelin muttered. Perseus gulped, but he proceeded to help Lexi treat her injury. He had just cleaned up the injury when Sherry returned with the first aid box, her rapid footsteps echoing through the living room as she hurried to Perseus's side."Here's the box," she announced breathlessly, setting it down beside him. "What else can I do to help?"Perseus sighed. He was glad that she had come to his rescue, but her eyes settled on the other first aid box that he had with him before she arrived. He knew he was doomed if she asked about it. That was going to show that there wasn’t any box there like he had claimed.‘Crap.’“Where did this box come from?” Sherry asked. “I would have known if there was a first aid kit
A few hours later, Everyone was already there except Perseus, sitting in front of his computer. The file and the journal were in front of him. He was going through the files instead of sleeping; he wanted to learn everything that he could and get rid of the journal before the gang came after it again.He twirled the pen and glanced at the notepad, where he was jotting down the important stuff he had gotten from the journal.‘‘The journal belonged to a man named ‘Rebel Dill.’ He was the head investigator for the case. One of the best investigators in the country. He had never failed to accomplish or unlock any case.That was until he took Perseus’s parents' case. The case was so hard that he had to refuse other instances too, and it was paying too. He recorded all his experiences in the journal and all the things that he faced.The things he discovered in the book were: first, the man had found the reason for the death, which happened to be the creation of a technology named ‘Seus.’ I
"I heard you obtained the book, though Celp lost his life in the process. He couldn't escape self-destruction, isn't that right?" A man with white hair, sky-blue eyes, and an eye patch mused, his legs crossed. His gaze, at first menacing, his eyes bright in the light as he stared at the man in front of him like he could see through his soul, softened as he glanced at the feast spread before him.The room he was sitting in was bright. A large dinner table was in front of him. There was a series of dishes on the table, yet he was more interested in the crayfish that he was peeling up to eat.The man opposite him, a brunette with dark eyes and a scar on his chin, removed his hoodie and nodded. "Yes, it was a self-destructive bomb. Alas, his explosive failed to claim any lives, as Perseus Damon and his friends managed to leap from the building in time."The white-haired man grinned. “A Damon? Do you mean that little kid from years ago? The one I said we should let him live? I never knew h
Perseus yawned loudly as he slung his bag over his body and adjusted his jacket. He made his way down the stairs."Good morning," Sherry greeted as he brushed past her towards the kitchen."Good morning," he replied.Lexi was sitting on the sofa while Eris was setting the food on the dining table. Lexi stared at Perseus as he entered the kitchen. He poured himself a glass of water and gulped down its contents.His eyes were tired as he walked back to the living room. His gaze instantly locked with Lexi's, but she immediately looked away."Didn't you get any sleep?" Sherry asked.He shook his head. "I didn't; I couldn't sleep."Eris finished setting the food on the table and looked up at him. "What were you doing that you forgot to go to bed? You look like you should skip school and sleep instead."Perseus had looked in the mirror but had no idea that not sleeping would wear him out like it did. After all, he had used tons of energy yesterday.Earlier, hours ago, when he had fallen off
Perseus knew where his words were heading. Yet he waited for Zeppelin to keep on talking. “Do you heal when you get injured?” Zeppelin asked when he remained silent.He nodded his head, his brain thinking of a possible way to tell Zeppelin off and not give him the details of the system. “Yes, I heal whenever I get injured. It’s not that I heal instantly; I heal faster than a regular human.”“Does it run in the family?”He shook his head. “It doesn’t.” He replied. “I have no idea how it happened, but I discovered I have been healing quite fast.”Zeppelin's brows furrowed, his curiosity at its peak, as he glanced at his brother.“It doesn’t matter; Lexi was the only person who knew about it because if the others were to find out, I might become a scientific experiment for them,” Perseus claimed. “It would be better if we don’t talk about it and don’t ever think that you are not part of the family.”“You are my only brother, and apart from other extended family members, we only have eac
