My Money Spendrift System Chapter 268_Mission Unlocked
‘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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 269_Duel
[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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 272_Duel 3
Wilson knew he had to stop Perseus from getting the answer right. If that could happen, he would be able to get one point to make up for the one he lost, but he couldn’t think of the right way to stop Perseus from speaking.“We can see that the set of {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} forms a group under addition modulo 5,” Perseus explained, a grin appearing on his face as he watched Wilson. “Since 2 is a generator of the group, it is a cyclic group.”Wilson held his breath. It was over; Perseus had won. Perseus, on the other hand, glanced at the crowd; it was like the audience held their breaths as they waited for words from Mr. Kayden.Sherry had a bright smile on her face, indicating that she was going to get the money from all those who voted for Wilson.“That’s the correct answer.” Mr. Kayden announced. “Two more points for Perseus.”Perseus rose to his feet as few cheered for him; most of the cheers were coming from those who voted for him. The others wouldn't have a change of mind since they ha
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 273_Good for Him.
Wilson was trembling as he received glares from every corner. Seth, watching everything, rose to his feet and headed towards Mr. Kayden. He flashed Perseus a smile and winked at him as he took the microphone from Wilson. Perseus returned Seth’s smile with a frown, but that didn’t bother Seth because a serious look appeared on his face when he turned his gaze away from Perseus.[What a pretender!] Iris scoffed. ‘He also had a terrible smile.’ Perseus replied. [Yes, he does, and I think he thinks he is handsome with that smile.]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘He is indeed handsome; you don’t have to lie.’[I wasn’t lying.] Iris responded.[ I was only showing my displeasure for him. Is it that bad?]Perseus was yet to respond when Seth began speaking, so he left his conversation to listen to what Seth had to say.“Some of you might not know me, but I am the current principal of this college, Seth McMiller,” Seth announced. [Why are the ladies squealing?] Iris asked, rolling her eyes.Her
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 274_Celebration
“Cheers!” “Cheers!” Sherry said, beaming and, at the same time, slamming her glass against theirs. In the process, the wine in their glasses spilled, and the one that was nearest to her shattered. The shattered glass was Perseus’s. He stared at her blankly as she gulped down all the contents in her glass. They were in a local restaurant that Sherry seemed to enjoy going to; she was familiar with the owner too.It was a place that she could go to and drink to her heart's content without having to worry about keeping her reputation safe. Sherry had suggested that they head out to celebrate since Perseus had won the duel, and the rest agreed. Perseus couldn’t get over the question that she had asked him about the other time. She wasn’t joking when she said that; she had a serious expression. He shook off the thoughts; he had a lot of things to take care of.They were thirty-four in number: he, Zeppelin, Eris, and Sherry, along with the 31 others who had voted for him. He barely reco

[Stay away from him, Host.] Iris warned.[Meeting him in school is enough for you to keep bumping into him.][I don’t think it is a coincidence. How could he pick here of all places?]‘I know right.’ Perseus replied. ‘And he didn’t see the rest when he came. He only noticed us.’“I am sorry for not seeing them.” Seth apologized with a sigh. “I only saw you two sparkling from afar. Aren’t they the people who voted for you?” he inquired as he reached to touch Sherry.“They are,” Perseus replied, stopping Seth’s hand, and with a glare, he continued. “Get your hands off my fiance.”Seth was taken aback by Perseus' words, but he covered it up with a bright smile. “I didn’t know she was your fiance.” ‘A fiance?’ Seth thought to himself. ‘And he seems to care about her too. I guess that might be his weakness or something.’“Even though she wasn’t his fiance, you have no right to touch her as you please,” Zeppelin said.Seth stared at Zeppelin blankly before grinning. “Do I have to apologize

Chapter 470_Finale.
Two years later, Perseus was at the airport, having just landed back in his home country after traveling full-time for two years. He hadn’t heard from anyone during that time, as he’d been constantly changing his number while traveling. He had successfully visited 100 countries and would have continued if not for being called home by his aunt.“Perseus!” Sherry’s voice made him flinch as she called out to him.It had been two years since they last spoke. After the game, he had vanished, claiming he wanted to travel.[She waited for you, Iris noted. I doubt the others did.][He glanced at her. <

Perseus smiled at the cheering crowd, then turned his gaze to the other side of the audience. His eyes widened in embarrassment when he spotted his aunt and Eriane, waving an old, embarrassing photo of him.His aunt was cheering louder than the teenage girls around her, almost as if she were a teenager herself.He wondered how she even knew about the game and its location since he hadn’t invited her. He was sure he’d be scolded later, but he didn’t mind. Shifting his attention away from her, Perseus walked to his gaming seat.As soon as they all sat down, Perseus glanced at the opposing team, just centimeters away. Sam, one of the opposing players, grinned at him, then gave Perseus the middle finger and mouthed, "Loser. We all know how terrible you are at gaming. Stop using your handsome face

‘What is my chance of winning now?’ Perseus questioned.Iris glanced at a panel, her eyes widening in shock. [79%][What am I seeing? You have upgraded to level 20 for discovering Forest's secret and finding a way to defeat him.] She squealed.[Is this really true?]A glint of relief slowly washed over Iris. There was hope that Perseus could finally defeat the man who had long wanted his life.[You can beat him now;] Iris claimed. [Just breathe properly.][His skills have been sealed with all of the points you have left. He won’t be able to use them against you anymore.] Iris announced.Perseus glanced at her, and a t

Forest leaned in, his eyes cold and calculating. "This isn't just a fight. It's a battle of life and death. I often wonder why your parents gave the power I wanted most to you. I’ve waited for years to see if you’re worthy of the power you possess. But if this is all you have, then you’re not worthy and are just a piece of useless dirt occupying space."Before Perseus could react, Forest flung him across the room like a ragdoll. Perseus crashed to the ground, pain radiating through his body despite Iris’ efforts to heal him.[Perseus, we can’t keep this up much longer!] Iris warned. [You need to find a way to defeat him, or he’ll—]"I know," Perseus muttered, forcing himself to his feet. His vision blurred, but he refused to back down. "I know, Iris. But I’m not giving up. Not yet."Forest approached him slowly, almost leisurely. "So, what will it be, Perseus? Will you continue to fight and prove yourself? Or will you admit defeat and accept that you’re not ready for this?"“If you ad

[You can! You idiot!] Iris yelled.Perseus snapped out of his thoughts and dodged the attack by moving to the side as quickly as he could. This time, he didn’t hold back his power and unleashed it to the maximum.[Good job.]The man’s eyes glinted with admiration. “Aren’t you a little thing?” he asked. “I get to see someone I can actually fight with without killing them first. This is wonderful. You’re amazing!”Perseus gritted his teeth. The way the man spoke, it was clear he was looking down on him. “What is your name?”The man was taken aback by the sudden question. “Why are you asking your killer their name?”“I just wanted to know the name of the person I’m going to kill before I kill them,” Perseus replied. “Is it that hard?”The man’s lips curled. “Fine. My name is Forest. Not a common name, I guess.”Forest? Perseus’ eyes darted to Iris. ‘Analyze him with the name.’[I am unable to analyze him.] Iris said. [I tried when he arrived, but it was impossible.]“Let’s continue with
Chapter 465_Run
[Your death is near, host.] Iris said, appearing next to Perseus, her gaze fixed on Aera.[Why are you following her? Shouldn’t you be in the game?]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘I should be in the game, but she insisted on treating my injuries first.’[You have to leave her and level up!] Iris cried. [I have no idea what’s happening, but the panel is blinking more furiously than before.][Your death is really imminent! You need to listen to me and run!]‘I’m not running,’ Perseus replied. ‘That man killed one of my family members and went on with his life. Now, he’s come after me, leaving Zeppelin out of the fight. If I run and he can’t find me, he’ll go after Zeppelin and kill him.’Iris’ eyes widened. [If you don’t run, there’s a high chance you’ll die.]‘I know that.’[Why are you with her then?]‘I can’t let Zeppelin face the same fate as our parents.’[It won’t take long for you to reach level 20.] Iris retorted.‘I have something he doesn't have.’[And what’s that?]‘I have you and
Chapter 464_Game
Tossing in bed, Perseus looked away from Iris. “You don’t have to apologize, Iris. Even if I were to die, it wouldn’t be today anyway.”Iris scowled at him. [What did you just say?]“I said if I were to die, I wouldn’t—”His words were cut off as an electric current surged through him. The shock was so intense that he trembled all over, and when it stopped, steam was rising from his body.[That’s what you get for thinking about death, host!] Iris bellowed. [Do you know that both Lint and I will be gone if you die? Do you know how many people will be sad when you die?]Perseus flinched and slowly turned to lie on his back. Seeing the annoyed look on Iris’s face made him want to laugh.“I was only joking,” Perseus muttered. “I won’t die. I promise.”[You idiot!] Iris yelled, watching Perseus laugh. [If you die, I will kill you!]“How are you going to kill someone who’s already dead?”Two days later.“Are you ready?” Eris demanded, poking her head through the door to look at her teammat

Ethan handed his phone to Perseus, who glanced at the picture. It was indeed him. They must have gotten it from security footage somewhere.Perseus nodded. “Alright.”“See you later,” Ethan said with a grin. “Don’t go anywhere alone.”“Okay.”Perseus stared at Iris. “I thought I told you to deactivate all of the cameras.”[I did,] she claimed. [I might have forgotten to turn the others off.]Perseus headed for the door since the game of the day would begin soon.[You were wearing a mask though. They wouldn’t be able to recognize you,] Iris said. [There’s nothing to worry about.]Upon reaching the general living room, Perseus met with the others, who were peering at him as if he had something on his face.“You were late, Perseus,” Liliana said.Liliana was standing in front of them with a woman with long lashes next to her. She grinned at Perseus, a smile crossing her face.“I had something to do,” Perseus replied. “I apologize for arriving late.”“No worries,” Liliana said. “Now that
Chapter 462_Back to the Mansion
Perseus turned around to look at the man who had just spoken, ready to throw a punch if necessary.“Are you questioning me?” Cynthia demanded.From the look on her face, she seemed nothing like the woman she was with the leader. Perhaps seeing the man who had made her life a living hell taken by the police had given her some sort of confidence.“Nope,” he replied. “I was just worried if he would be able to lead the girls to his car. They are quite fierce.”“We know that,” Cynthia retorted. “Back to your job.”The men closed the door without any more questions, and Perseus glanced at her. He wanted to ask why she hadn’t let him use his fists but decided against it. In no time, the room was filled with women.Perseus gritted his teeth at the sight of them looking at him with terrified expressions. He wondered what all these women must have gone through to be that scared.“I will be letting them out now,” Perseus told Cynthia.“I will keep watch of the others,” Cynthia said before headin
