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
‘What is this?’ Perseus asked himself as he read the mission laid out in front of him.[New Mission Unlocked: Catch the most wanted criminals in the country, the ‘White Rose gang’. Make sure they are alive and kicking when you catch them and hand them over to the cops.][Rewards: I. A hint to find the organization your parents once worked for. II. A new skill.][Duration: Before 4 a.m.][Punishment: Lose the set of skills you have. Cut off the little man; make you dumb and deaf.][Additional punishment: Ensure you have an odor so that no one will ever go close to you.]The gang consists of 200 members, including their boss and their leader. The White Rose gang is notorious, and equipped with advanced technology to locate and eliminate their enemies.[They are skilled snipers capable of taking you out from a distance, catching you by surprise.]Perseus's eyes widened. Iris wanted him to catch the most wanted criminals—two hundred people—before 4 a.m. How was that possible? The punishme
[He is Wilson Haryiton.] He is the best mathematics student in this whole school. [He has won three competitions since he joined the school.] [Students are terrified of him because he often punishes them by suggesting a mathematics duel.] “Are you going to keep on listening to them talk trash about you?” Zeppelin inquired. “I can deal with them if you want me to.” “Don’t worry,” Perseus replied. “I will take care of them by dealing with only one person.” Perseus knew that if he didn't correct the rumors, Ms. Tisha’s career might be at stake. He rose to his feet, determination in his eyes. Zeppelin was about to ask him what he was going to do, but he was already halfway to his destination. The students around Wilson went quiet as soon as Perseus approached their table. Seeing the sudden silence and a looming shadow, Wilson thought it was Ms. Tisha, but when he turned his head, he saw that it was Perseus. Perseus stared at him intensely, a gaze that made Wilson feel small. He could
Wilson grinned widely as he watched the student increase with each passing minute. It was as if the whole student body of the school had come to watch who dared challenge him. He glanced at Perseus, expecting him to chicken out and quit, but Perseus stared back at him, his gaze unwavering. Wilson scoffed before turning his gaze away. ‘I will win anyway.’ Wilson muttered to himself.The crowd was murmuring, and it was hard to hear what they were saying, but Perseus could already tell that they were talking about him. [Host, the duel will be starting soon.][The teacher will be here soon.]‘Noted.’ He replied.“Hello, ladies and gentlemen!” A voice rang through a microphone, making the students grow quiet in an instant. It was Sherry; she was standing not too far away from them, and she had a delighted smile on her face. “This duel is between Perseus Damon and Wilson Harryton.”“It’s Haryiton!” Wilson corrected.“Do I look like I care about your name, Harryton?” Sherry snapped. “As I w
Perseus and Wilson glanced at each other. Wilson was grinning widely at him, and he gave Perseus a thumbs down, indicating that Perseus had already failed.Staring at him blankly, Perseus looked away. He doesn’t have the time to deal with Wilson's behavior. Ms. Tisha stood in front of them, while Ms. Twinia was sitting behind them. “You can go ahead and pick a number from 1 to 40.” Mr. Kayden announced. “I am referring to Wilson,” he revealed.Wilson leaned back against his seat casually. “39.”Mr. Kayden sighed before going ahead to read the question. “Find the limit as X approaches infinity of (x^3 + 2x - 5)/(2x^3 - 4x^2 + 1).”Wilson’s pen flew across the page as he worked through the problem. “The limit is ½,” he announced, his eyes glittering.“That’s correct.” Mr. Kayden announced. “Two points go to Wilson.”Mr. Devis was the one in charge of recording the scores, so he moved the large device, making the score appear on the wide screen in front of everyone.“14,” Perseus mutter
