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
Perseus tossed a rope to Zero, and he proceeded to tie up the men like he had seen Perseus do. In the meantime, Perseus was still looking at the panel in front of him, which had little information about Zero.[Your new followers have been found and seen.][A new mission has been unlocked.][Increase both his trust and belief levels by 10 each.][Reward: A new item.][Duration: Before the end of your first mission.]He turned his gaze back to Zero, still not believing that Zero had become one of his men. “Why are you helping me?” He inquired. “I owe you one for helping that day with Z.” Zero mumbled. “Although I still haven’t found the ones who killed Fiona, helping you is worth it.”“I didn’t promise to help you find Fioana’s killer, and we can save that talk for later,” Perseus muttered. “So, let’s find the rest.”“I will lead the way,” Zero suggested.Nodding, Perseus followed him. They passed another path that he hadn’t walked on. As soon as they came into view of that room, the s
"Thanks for helping us catch the criminals again,” Luke muttered, smiling at Perseus. “We have been searching for them, but now you caught them all by yourself. Have you seen Lexi? I thought she might be with you. She mentioned something about finally getting to the den of Killer D; I thought it was him if you hadn’t called. It turns out she made a mistake; it wasn’t Killer D after all.”Perseus' eyes darted to the van that the cops had come with. He found them shoving Blake, who was yelling as he struggled to get into the van. After holding that knife around his neck, Blake hadn’t hesitated to pick it up.He surrendered without a fight, and Perseus wasn’t able to test his abilities after all. A cop waved at Luke, making him look away from Perseus. The cop indicated that he had gotten all the men in the van, and Luke nodded.The cop hopped into the car and drove off. Sighing, Luke turned his gaze back to Perseus, but the place was empty. Perseus wasn’t in sight; it was like he wasn’t
The run had been so long that he didn’t see the need to stop. The tracker showed that Lexi was behind the door, so he had to kick open the door and find her. And that was exactly what he did; he kicked the door open only to find her bleeding and that man in front of her.In a swift motion, he crashed into the man, lifting him and jumping out the window. In a flash, the man’s back slammed hard against the hard floor, the impact heavily on his right shoulder.Orb winced, pain shooting through his shoulder. Perseus loomed over him, and the glare that he received made blood drain from his face. He tried lifting his knife to dig it into Perseus, but his shoulder wouldn’t move.Wiggling, Orb tried to escape Perseus, but it was impossible. Although he had sustained an injury, Perseus had not. However, Perseus didn’t stop there; he punched Orb across the face and kept punching him. [+20 points.][+20 points.]He got twenty points for each punch that he gave to Orb. [+20 points.][+20 point
Eris facepalmed herself, seeing that Sherry had just spilled the words she had been hiding.“You know about it?” Perseus questioned. “I didn't remember telling you anything about it.”Her hand flew to her lips as she realized that she had revealed what she had wanted him to tell her himself. “Does knowing about it change the fact that you put her life at risk? She is a cop, not a detective.”“It wasn’t me,” Perseus responded. “All I did was save her. That bastard kidnapped her and took her to his den. I went there to save her.”Her brows rose. “Then where were you? We have been awake and gotten over our hangover, and you are just coming back home.”“I wasn’t late.” “You were; it is 6 a.m.’’Perseus glanced at his wristwatch; the time was 6:12 a.m. He had no idea the time had gone by so fast due to Iris nagging him to use the car and not run all the way home. He reluctantly agreed and only got stuck in the traffic on his way back home.“I went over to a friend's place.” He said, tryin
At the mention that the news was Luke’s idea, Perseus' face twitched. It had been an idea of someone he knew and could speak to. Why didn't Luke tell him about it before the news was released?[It was meant to be a surprise.] Iris responded. [But you have gotten an award, thanks to that. Your popularity has risen too, and not only that, you have helped increase Sherry's followers.][So all you have to do is not yell at the cop for not telling you. I know that is what you are planning on doing.]Sighing, Perseus ran his hand through his hair. 'Lexi texted him that she was kidnapped, but he guessed that she was there with me and I would be able to protect her.’‘He didn't go after her. What if I hadn't read that message and went back home? What would have happened to her?’“Perseus!!” Sherry yelled with a huge frown on her face. “Are you telling me or not? Why don't you tell the story to my fans too?” “If I have to tell the story to your fans, then no. I don't want a bunch of people
"Yes, I am. They posted on their website and social media that the game would be released. Since my son was the one who made the characters, he recognized the similarities between them and informed me about it.” “Going through it and studying their new game. I figured out that it matched the presentation that Ms. Wyatt gave. I still don't have enough evidence to prove that they stole it, but Ms. Wyatt might.” Perseus was already drafting his idea in his head. He kind of has an idea of what to do in such a situation.“I will be at the company today,” Perseus announced. “Where is the vice president?” He had just recently learned that the company had a vice president since he had only met the manager at the time he went to the company. Although he hadn't seen the vice president in person, he could tell that the company had chosen the right person. “The vice president?” Jackson asked with amusement in his voice. “I thought you knew about her traveling on a business trip on your behal
“Are you having breakfast before leaving?” Sherry questioned him and, at the same time, walked into the room to meet him.He glanced back at her; she was already fully dressed, with her hair tied in two ponytails and her sparkling blue eyes peering at him. "No, but can you make Lexi's?” He asked. “Eris is home, right?” “She is,” Sherry replied with a smile, standing next to him. “Don't worry, I am not the one making it. It won't taste terrible; actually, the food is done. We just needed to dish it out.” She leaned in to look at Lexi with a concerned look on her face but turned her gaze back to Perseus seconds later.“Okay. Lexi will be awake anytime soon, and I guess she might be hungry.” “That's right. I am heading to get it now.” Sherry muttered before skipping away. Perseus stared at Lexi; her eyes were still closed. He was about to rise to his feet when Iris stopped him. [She just woke up, host.] Iris revealed. “I know you are awake,” Perseus muttered. “You can open your ey
