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
Seth's words made Perseus's face twitch. He had been expecting to see Principal Williams, hoping that Ms. Twinia was joking with him. But when he saw Seth's white hair, he knew it wasn't a joke. Principal Williams was truly gone. Perseus had no idea where he lived.'Iris, can you get me to him?' Perseus asked mentally. 'Can you track down Principal Williams's location?'[I can. However, that's only if I can sense his heartbeat.] Iris replied.Perseus was stunned by Iris's words. Did that mean Principal Williams's heart had stopped? Was he dead?[There is a 99 percent chance that he is dead.]"I've heard a lot about you both from Principal Williams," Seth uttered, raising his voice to ensure Perseus was listening. Perseus stared at Seth, who had a pure smile on his face like he couldn't hurt a fly. He glanced at Zeppelin to gauge his reaction.Back to his regular self, Zeppelin's smile mirrored Seth's. Perseus wasn't surprised; Zeppelin was used to smiling no matter the situation."Ni
“Let’s go find him then,” Zeppelin said. “You came to school because of him, after all. And if the gang had him, we would have to get him back and find out who that white-haired man is. For some reason, I have a terrible feeling about him.”[That’s right.] Iris agreed with Zeppelin.Perseus knew he couldn’t tell Zeppelin that Principal Williams could have been dead. He didn’t want to believe it, either. “Sure, let’s go.”Zeppelin stood waiting in front of the school building by the roadside for a few minutes. Seth stood next to the window, his hand folded, as he watched Zeppelin. His eyes were dark. Soon afterward, Perseus drove the car towards where Zeppelin was. Zeppelin got into the car, and Perseus drove off. With a menacing look, Seth took out his phone, called a number, and spoke into it.“Help me check where those two are headed. The dark hair and the blonde.”“Yes, boss.” The voice from the phone replied.Hanging up, Seth held the phone in his hand and stared at it before his
Perseus parked the car in the driveway, his hand resting on the steering wheel as he surveyed the apartment complex. He knew Principal Williams lived here, but he still needed to find the right floor.[8th floor.] Iris informed him.Perseus frowned. Why does it have to be on the eighth floor? It reminded him of yesterday.[You just have to go in there and find his wife.]“Are you sure this is where the principal lives?” zeppelin asked. He nodded. “I am sure of it; I have heard him talk about it.”“How could he talk about his home address casually?” Zeppelin questioned. “Since he was once involved with our parents, shouldn’t he know that he should have been more cautious?”Perseus had lied because he didn’t want to tell Zeppelin that it was Iris who had given him the directions to the principal’s house. “He happened to be ordering something from his wife,” Perseus muttered. “I happened to be there, and I saw him type his address.” His words managed to convince Zeppelin, so he headed
"Thanks for your time, Mrs. William," Perseus said as he and Zeppelin were escorted out the door. She hadn’t provided the answer he wanted, but she did respond to his questions.After being asked about her husband, she claimed she hadn’t seen him. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air. To make matters worse, Iris couldn’t trace him."It was nothing. I was worried about him too. He hasn't missed my call like this before. If you see him, would you please contact me?" She muttered, her eyes flashing with worry and concern.Despite her apparent concern, Perseus felt a strange energy from her. It seemed like she wasn’t worried at all. If she were distraught, she would have called the cops herself. He shook off the thought."I will contact you if I find him," Perseus reassured her. "Can I get his contact information?" He handed his phone to her, and she punched in her husband's phone number and returned it to him.Glancing at the phone, he saved the contact and tucked it into his po
