“How dare you hit my girlfriend?” Rome yelled at Perseus.
Perseus stood his ground, not caring about what was going to happen next. “Since you want to make an act, I didn't hit her but pushed her, right? Who would have thought such a scheming bitch would fall by herself?"“How dare you?” Roman demanded, his face turning red in anger.“How dare he insult Roman's girlfriend?”“He is looking for death.”“I can't wait to see him die; his face disgusts me.” One of the female onlookers spat.Celia, who was sitting on the floor, grinned at him. “He pushed me and even claims to do so.”Roman helped her up and approached Perseus. Both of them glared at each other. Perseus knew that he was no match for Roman, but he had to keep a little bit of self-respect.“You dare lay a finger on my girl? I am going to deal with you and get rid of all your fingers.” Roman poked him in the chest with his index finger. “You are just a loser that should be castrated and fed to the pigs.”“What makes you any different from me?” He demanded, scowling back at the men that were slightly taller than him. “Money?”A smirk curled up on Rowan's lips. “Yes, money changes everything, and you are not the same when it comes to money.”Perseus stepped back from the man and dug his hand into his pocket. “Don't worry, she is going to leave you later for someone with more money than you. By then, don't say that I didn't warn you.”Celia, who heard the words, walked up to Perseus and slapped him hard across the face. “How dare you speak that way about me?” Turning her gaze back to the students, she addressed them. “Don't you all forget that he threatened me to date him, and now he is being so cocky. I didn't date him, and I am with Roman, if he doesn't want it. Don't you think we should call the cops?”“Yes, we have to get someone like him arrested.”“He is a creep!”“I wonder how many girls have done this too.”“He is a man whore!”“I am calling 911.”The crowd went on and on, and Perseus winced from the insults that they were giving him.Call the cops, Perseus eyes darkened, and his head hung low. “Do you have evidence for your accusations?”“My accusations?” Her head snapped in his direction. “How dare a piece of trash like you say that I am accusing you?”“What evidence do you have that shows that I threatened you? Weren't you the one who accepted my proposal? Weren't you the one who approached me later after I asked?”“Stop lying!” She snarled.Roman placed a hand on Celia's shoulder. “Stay back; I will handle this.”Celia nodded with a huge grin on her face and stepped back. She stood behind Roman as he glared at Perseus.“Well, what made you think that you were worthy of her?”“I didn't say that!” Perseus muttered. “Why are you so dumb? We weren't talking about her; she is a cunt, and I deserve way better.”“You!” Celia yelled as she tried to lunge at him, but Roman stopped her.“You were talking about evidence, right?” Roman asked. ““Exactly.”“Then you will get one."Perseus raised a brow at it. “Then where is it?”“I am the evidence.” Roman grinned at him. “What were you expecting that I would give the evidence to you so that you could destroy it?”A wide smile crossed Celia's face. “Someone call 911.” She ordered. “He has to be sentenced to jail.”“He was only asking for the evidence to destroy it.”“What an asshole?”“Does he think that he stands a chance against Roman Sullivan?”“Such a loser didn't know his place.”“911 would be here soon, but we can let you off if you apologize to us,” Roman muttered. “Would you want to go to jail for this or apologize to us?”“Apologize? Hah.” Perseus let out a bitter laugh. “I can't go to jail because there is no evidence with you.” He turned around to leave. “I wouldn't be spending any more time with you; I have a paycheck to take. Besides, I would have bought a swimsuit for you if we were still dating. Now my money is all to myself. If you were all mighty Rowan, why didn't she ask you to buy it for her?”“You!” Roman yelled. “That's enough!” He grabbed Perseus by the shoulder and spun him around.Before Perseus could blink, three punches hit his face, and he could hear the bone of his nose break. The crowd gasped as the sound of the police siren echoed in the distance.One of the students stood in front of the others. “If we don't scram away from here, we are going to be questioned until we are drained. Who would want that?”Panicking, all the students took off like they had appeared. In a matter of seconds, the crowd was gone.Blood was dripping down Perseus's face as Roman continued to hit him. “How dare you speak to me like that?”Celia, who was still there, tried to stop Roman. “If you don't leave him and escape, the cops are going to get you instead.”Roman stopped punching the already weak Perseus, who was struggling to keep his eyes open.“He could give them a testimony,” Roman muttered through clenched teeth. “I have to get rid of him completely.”“How?”“By throwing him at an upcoming vehicle.”Gasp! Blood drained from Celia's face when she heard that. Instead of saying anything to stop Roman, she hurried into the sports car and hid in it.Roman, on the other hand, reached for his pocket and pulled out a mask. Wearing it, he glanced at the fast-approaching car. Without a second thought, he threw Persues at the car.Perseus life flashed in front of his eyes as he flew to his death. He couldn't believe he was going to die this way.[Ding!][The system finally recognized its host.]You have two choices: accept the system or live. [B::Reject the system and die miserably.]Perseus, who was half-conscious, ignored the voice in his head and fell to the floor. The driver tried to dodge him, but it was already too late. The car crashed into him, and everything went blank.“Where am I?” His eyes opened and connected to the white clothes that were covering his face.Sitting up, he pushed the clothes off his body to see that he was in a hospital gown. He rubbed his head and glanced at it; there was no sign of bandage, nor were there signs of injury.His face was surprisingly smooth for someone who had taken all of those punches.“Why am I still alive?” He asked himself. “Didn't I die when that car hit me?”[Ring!][To them, you are already dead.][Motherfucker, I asked you to accept the system to save your life, but you chose death instead.]Perseus jumped like he had been shot and glanced around the room. There was no one in the room apart from the panel that was floating in front of him. The room was awfully cold, and he felt uncomfortable.[To ask further questions, you need to accept the system. Do you accept the Money Spendrift Streaming System?][Yes or no?]“What system? Shouldn't I be dead and lying on the roadside or something? Why am I here and
“I am not a ghost!” Perseus raised his hand in the air. “I just want to check out of the hospital; I am not dead yet.”However, the woman fainted before he could say anything else. He glanced around them to see that the other nurses were running over to him alongside the doctor.“How come he is alive?” The doctor demanded as he froze, seeing who it was. “I diagnosed him dead last night!”"Perhaps he has a twin brother.” A nurse muttered as she shivered in fear.Perseus wanted to tell them that he didn't have a twin, but he saw the expression on their faces. He changed his mind; he had no idea how he was going to explain the system to them.“Yes, I have a twin. He died last night; we already took him to his funeral.” He lied.[Warning! You have a minute left if you keep on wasting time. Say goodbye to your little cock. Hmph!]The doctor and nurses let out a sigh of relief. “You just have to pay for the fee of him being in the hospital.”“And how much is it?”“Five hundred thousand doll
“Guys, guys, calm down.” Perseus walked over to them and stroked both of their heads.His roommates were the only ones who genuinely liked him. They had been friends since high school, and they turned out to be roommates in college.“It will be alright since she tried to kill me and ruin my reputation to make her feel good about herself. I will give her back tenfold.” His lips curled up into a smirk.“What do we do next?” Orion asked.“I want to be seen as healthy and alive, and I guess that it is going to ruin her too.”“Do you need a livestreamer to go with us?” Tobias inquired.Perseus peered at Tobias. “Who do you suggest?”He hadn't thought about getting a livestreamer, but it would be great to have one that would show everyone that he was alive.“Sherry Kim.” Orion blurted it out. “She is the most popular and beautiful livestreamer in the country.”“And how do you think we can pay her?” Tobias retorted. “She attends this school, and she barely looks at us.”Sherry Kim's name ran
The lady flinched at the sound of his voice only to see who it was and chuckled in excitement.“You regard me as a friend but didn't tell me that you are the sister of this loser?”Sherry raised her head to look at Perseus; she glared at him. “What are you doing?”His lips stretched into a tight smile. “Just trust me.”He sounded so sincere that she wanted to believe him.“How much is the vase that my sister broke?” He inquired.In the meantime, he contacted the system. ‘System, could you help me check out this lady and her brother?’[You haven't given me a name; give me a name and I will help you.]'I will call you Iris then.’[The name can never be changed; now press yes to proceed.]He did as the system told him to do, and the information about the siblings appeared on the screen.[The money has been transferred into your bank account. You can make transfers from there.]“What would you do if I told you the price? Aren't you that poor trash from school?”“Just name a price, and I w
“Geez!” Perseus rubbed his face with his palm. “Why do I always have to deal with bitches like you?”Sherry froze with her eyes glued to the screen. His friends looked like they had just been hit by a truck as they stared at the screen.“How…how…is that even possible?” Sherry demanded. “I thought you were poor; how come?”“That was a fake alert, right?” Laura demanded as her head snapped back in his direction. “It is impossible for you to have that amount of money.”Perseus let out a sigh. “I knew that you would doubt me.” He raised his head. “Waiter, can I get my bills?”The crowd began murmuring again.'He is so confident, I doubt that he is poor, like Laura said.’'She is just jealous that her friend has a rich brother, unlike her, who has a bad brother.’The words pierced Laura like a sword, and she guessed she still had a chance against him. “It seems that he made a fake transaction. If he would be able to pay for all of his bills, then I will do as he says.”“Bitch! You made a d
“What was that about?” Tobias inquired as soon as they got to the school compound. “Why do you have so much money?”“We know that you aren't rich.” Orion added. “How come you did that to Laura and wasted fifteen million today?”Orion and Tobias were pulling their hair in frustration as they glanced at Perseus, whose electric current had just stopped hitting him.[I let you go because I affected Sherry too.]Perseus frowned at the system and was about to lash out at it when Sherry grabbed his hand and peered at him.“Did you feel that?” She inquired.Pretending not to know what she was talking about. Perseus shook his head.“Feel what?”She released his arm. “Nothing.”“Oh, okay.”She clutched her hand tightly to her chest; she felt the current pass through her, and since he was holding her, She thought that he felt it too.Perseus raised a brow at her before staring at his friends, who were glaring at him. His eyes widened, and he wondered why they were glaring at him.“What?” He shru
Sherry frowned at the ladies who were pulling at her arm. Perseus, on the other hand, only stared at her.“Ma'am, what kind of villa do you want?"“I can show you the ones that you want."“As long as you are loaded with money, let me attend to you.”Sherry tried to pull her hand away from this grip. “Ladies wait!”The ladies ignored her, and they got into a serious argument. Seizing the opportunity, Sherry pulled away from their grip and hurried over to Perseus.“Master, I am sorry that they ignored you for me.” She apologized. “Do you want us to check somewhere else?”Perseus shook his head. “Okay.”Just as they were about to leave, another woman who hadn't been with the others that came to him before approached him.She had a bright smile on her face and didn't look like she was going to look down at him.“Sir, do you want to check out the pictures of the villas?”Perseus glanced back at the lady. "Sherry, it seems like we wouldn't have to leave anymore.”Perseus followed the lady t
Everyone's gaze was focused on the direction of the manager's office. The ladies' attention was on the spot and when the manager didn't come after the countdown. The ladies burst into a fist of laughter.“Who do you think you are?” One of the ladies scoffed. “The manager would be here.”Another mimicked Sherry's voice. “In three, two, one.”That made the ladies' laughter increase; they kept on laughing until tears were leaking through their eyes. Sherry's face reddened in anger, her gaze lingering in the direction of the manager's office.‘Hasn't he seen the livestream?’ She thought.“You are just a spoiled brat who thinks that everything works her way.”“I thought you said the CEO would be here; why isn't he here yet?”The snickers of the ladies furrowed Perseus' brows. He studied the reaction on Sherry's face; she had only wanted to help him, but she was getting insulted instead.She stood her ground with her head hanging high as she waited. Just a little more time, and they would s
