“I have already laid out my deal. Either you let me pay back the money and take the game or take legal action against your company. Thereby, in the process, it leaves a huge stain on it, pulls out all of the investors, and then makes it go bankrupt. It is your choice.” Dickson’s eyes widened. “Is that a warning?”“It is a threat,” Perseus answered. “And I am serious about it. Besides, it wasn’t my company that had the money; the person who did was in jail, but I thought about it. Since I have his shares, why don’t I pay back the money?”Dickson gulped, fear appearing on his face. “I still don’t know if you are lying or not, but I will let you come to my company.”“Why is that?”“I want you to help me identify the one who asked the employees to buy the game,” Dickson replied with a serious look on his face. “I want to put an end to this rivalry between the both of us, and I hope we will end up being allies.”Perseus was silent; Dickson looked different than he had looked earlier. That
Old man After End sat on a sofa in the living room, he was having a drink with a fellow old man, and they were smiling and laughing at something. Three men were standing not too far away from them. Each of them had a stern look on their faces. He had just raised the glass to his lips to take a sip when one of the guards walked up to him and whispered into his ears. His eyes widened, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared, replaced with a frown. He dropped the glass on the table and rose to his feet.“Is there anything wrong?” The old man sitting opposite him asked, standing up too. “That brat invited the CEO of J.K. into the company and asked him to help take my shares.” Old man AfterEnd snarled. “Not only did he give him shares, but he also gave him more than enough shares that made him the company's second-largest shareholder.”Before the second old man could speak, Old Man AfterEnd turned around and headed for the door. “Wait here for me.” Old man AfterEnd muttered. “Ther
“Wait here.” Dickson opened the door and waited for Vania to enter. She still had a shock-stricken look on her face as she walked into the office. Dickson was trying his very best not to chuckle at what happened. He had seen her do that to other people, and they all fell for it.He had been worried about it working for Perseus, but when it didn't, he was glad. “We will come back to you when we are ready.” Dickson continued. “Hand over your phone; they aren’t allowed in here.”Although he was lying about it, she calmly handed him the phone without questioning and sat on one of the chairs in the office.Dickson stared at the phone in his hand before turning away and shutting the door behind him. They had already gotten one of the people who might have been involved in stealing the game ideas.After all, it was Eris who made the character's sketches.Dickson walked up to Perseus, who had been waiting seven feet away and was on a phone call with Sherry. She and Adrianna had gone the opp
"Yes, it is,” Dickson replied with a smile. “I met with the president of the company, and it wasn’t like everyone had thought. He was kind and quite understanding, too. It was so bad that our grandfathers had a misunderstanding between them. However, it has nothing to do with us, so we made up.” Perseus noticed that Dickson skipped the part about introducing him as the president of J.K. If he had done that, then their plans would have been ruined. But he knew that he had to be done before the old man showed up.The manager smiled so brightly that the side of his lips almost touched his ears. “That’s perfect! I had always wondered when it was going to clear up. Thank goodness you became the CEO; if not, I wouldn’t have seen this beautiful moment.“When do you intend to invite the president of J.K. to our company to check it out? We can’t do the same because the company is flawless. I would like to be his tour guide on that day.”Just like an open book, the manager couldn’t hide his ex
“You what?” Perseus demanded.Iva almost jumped off her seat. Vania was staring at her, expecting her to stay silent about it and not say anything.“Iva is usually nervous in front of influential people,” Vania claimed, nudging Iva on the shoulder again. “Isn’t that right?”Iva shook her head rapidly; she could already tell the lie wouldn’t take them anywhere. “We did it.” She answered.A smile curled up Vania’s lips. Iva had always listened and followed everything she said. “See, she admitted that we made the game together at a sleepover at each other's house. Perhaps the person who lied about us plagiarizing the game was probably jealous of us.”“No!” Iva yelled. “We didn’t create the game idea together at a sleepover. The game was stolen from J.K., and I was made to lie about it being my idea even though I didn’t write it.”Blood drained from Vania’s face as Iva confessed. She nudged Iva again, trying to tell her to take back her words, but Iva rose to her feet instead and moved aw
“Aren’t you hearing me?” Old man AfterEnd yelled again. “I know you’re in there, so you better open the door, or I’ll let my men kick it open. It’s not like it’s hard to buy another.”Mr. AfterEnd stood just in front of the door, a tall man with graying hair and a stern expression. He had seven men with him: five bodyguards, a man in a suit that looked much like Dickson, and one with a cocky smile on his face, eager to start breaking down the door.“Don’t you dare ignore me! Get out right now if you don’t want to regret it,” Mr. AfterEnd added.The cocky guy stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. “Why wait for them? I could easily get the door open and take us inside. Perhaps your grandson was threatened by him and might be held hostage. You can’t tell.”Mr. AfterEnd shook his head. “That’s impossible. Dickson is too stupid to be held hostage. That’s why I picked him as the CEO in the first place—he wouldn’t notice I was using him and wouldn’t even notice the things happening in the
Immediately, as Loom’s legs aimed at Dickson, Perseus reacted swiftly. He pulled Dickson out of the way and grabbed Loom’s leg, shoving him backward. Loom did a flip in the air and landed on his feet, his cocky grin still plastered on his face, which irritated Perseus. “You bastard!” Dickson yelled, stepping away from Perseus and throwing a punch at Loom. Loom easily dodged the punch by stepping to the side. Dickson tried again, but Loom avoided it with the same ease. “You still stink at throwing punches, young master,” Loom muttered. “Dickson!” Mr. AfterEnd bellowed, striding into the room with his entourage trailing behind. “You brat, how dare you invite the president of J.K. to our company?” Mr. AfterEnd brushed past Perseus without sparing him a glance. Dickson spun around. “What brought you here, Grandpa?” Vania, who was still being held by Timtat, brightened at the sight of Mr. AfterEnd, thinking she would be saved. “Mr. AfterEnd,” Vania called out. Mr. AfterE
“Stop!” Loom yelled, lunging at Perseus, his fist clenched tightly. “Stop whatever you are doing to him.”Perseus saw the direction of the punch and quickly dodged. The swift move surprised Loom and the others. Mr. AfterEnd was particularly stunned; Perseus had not only made him reveal secrets he didn’t want to but also dodged a punch that no one had ever evaded before.“How could he have dodged Loom’s punch?” Vania asked, her voice trembling with uncertainty. “Isn’t Loom skilled in various martial arts?”Loom threw another punch, and again, Perseus dodged it with ease.“How is that possible?” Loom muttered to himself.“What’s wrong?” Perseus asked, his brows rising. “Are you terrified that I was able to dodge your punch?”[Good for you for underestimating my host when you both had just met,] Iris chimed in, her focus on Loom. [You should level up your skills before you go against my host.][Hmph.]Loom’s face darkened. All eyes were on them now. Perseus had humiliated him by dodging
