“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
A car pulled in front of the gate. The security checked who was in the car, and she showed him the card that Perseus had given her for her to be able to pass through. The security man nodded and let her pass through. Lexi pulled up in front of the Perseus villa. Since she has the permit to enter the house, she could visit any time that she gets. Seconds later, she stood in front of the villa and rang the doorbell. While she waited for him to answer the door, she pulled out her phone and checked if he had replied to her message, but he hadn’t even read her message. The last message she sent was that she was heading to the house, and another was asking if he was home. ‘Is he asleep?’ She thought, ringing the doorbell again. After a few trials, she gave up. The lights were turned off, and she couldn’t see anything through the window. So she did what she thought she could; she turned around and went into her car. Since she had neither Sherry nor Eris' number, she couldn’t contact t
“A person had fallen into the trap, you say?” A man with the tattoo of a snail on his forehead and his bright red hair falling over his face was questioned. He was quite handsome, and he had a devilish look on his face.“Yes, Blaze,” a man next to him replied. The man wore a hoodie, covering his face. “The alarm went off as soon as he fell.”“Did you see his face when he fell?” Blaze asked, his eyes narrowing.The man hesitated, the image replaying in his head. He had seen the person's face but shook his head. “No, I didn’t. I only heard the alarm go off. Do you want us to go after him?”Blaze was sitting on a chair next to the window of a large room. The moonlight emitted brightly in his room, and he was looking out the window.“Find him,” Blaze ordered, his eyes darkening. “And when you do, kill him.”The man in front of him nodded. “Yes,” he said before turning around and leaving the room.As soon as the door closed behind him, the man removed his hood, revealing himself to be Zero
The men fell to the ground, unconscious. Perseus stared at his handwork; he had taken down twenty of the men that were required of him. [You have defeated twenty men.][20/300]His eyes widened at the number of people that the system had laid out. “I thought you said that they were only two hundred? How come they are three hundred now?”[They increased during the time you wasted.] Iris replied. [Keep going; you still have 280 men to take care of.]Perseus ran his hand through his hair, arguing it wasn't going to solve anything. After all, he had little time to find the men. “Is a rope available in the shop?” He asked. [Yes, it is. Which of them do you want? The white, red, or-]“Anyone would do,” he responded. “I just need a rope to tie up this man; I have no idea what the difference between the rope you are mentioning is.”[You should have just said that from the start.] [The rope costs 20 points for each man.][That is a total of 400 points.] Iris revealed.[Do you want to make
Mue peered at Perseus through the magnifying glass. He had seen Perseus dodge the bullet, but he thought of it as a coincidence. Pulling the trigger, he aimed at Perseus' head again. He was expecting Perseus to try to move away, but Perseus stood still, glaring at him. “Is that the last look he wants to give before he dies?” Mue asked himself, still shooting at Perseus. With a move of his head to the right, Perseus dodged the bullets again. Mue frowned before he began shooting at Perseus continuously. He was taken aback when Perseus sped towards him, appearing just next to him. Before he could react, Perseus slammed his hand on his neck, rendering him unconscious. He slumped, almost falling off the stairs, but Perseus caught him and pulled him up. Before raising him and throwing him over his shoulder.[You have successfully caught the 22nd man.][22/300][You can get more than fifty men behind that door.][That's if you are fast. There is one skilled man among them, but he isn't
The red light forced the car to a halt. The driver, visibly irritated, drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, impatient to reach his destination. He glanced at the backseat, where Lexi lay unconscious. Her hair splayed over the seat. Initially, he had tossed her into the trunk but decided against it, fearing it might draw more suspicion.Pressing hard against the horn, he grumbled under his breath, waiting for the light to change. His phone rang, and he answered it with a curt, “I've got her like you requested. She is currently in the back seat of the car I am driving. I'll handle her just as we agreed." “Good,” a voice replied. “Make her regret arresting my brother. Make sure she suffers before she dies.”A twisted grin spread across the driver's face. “I'd have done it for free, but thanks for the bonus.”“Just don’t mess this up.”“I never disappoint,” the driver sneered before ending the call.The traffic turned green, and he drove off. He watched the rearview mirror, checki
It didn't take long for Lexi to find another door in the house. It was just fifteen feet from the room she was confined to. The door was old; dry blood was over the door, alongside old, worn-out clothes. Lexi placed her ear against the door, hoping to hear anything, but she didn't. She reached out to unlock the door with her pin but hesitated. Since the room was just like hers, she wondered if someone was inside. Clenching her fist, she dug in the pin and unlocked the door.The room wasn't treated like Lexi's. It was brighter, and it had beds and chairs unlike hers.A lady was sitting on the bed. She had a book in her hand, and Lexi's eyes widened when she saw the lady's hand. It was like a large part of her hand was cut off. It was like someone did it on purpose, which he did, with a sharp blade.She was missing an arm too.Blood was dripping from the spot, yet the lady acted like it was nothing and kept on reading the book.What has he done to the lady? At this rate, she was goi
