Perseus pushed open the door indicated by the tracker. Inside, a man’s head turned to look at him. Iris floated and sat on Perseus’ shoulder, her gaze fixed on the men before them.Zeppelin was stuffing his face with food, sitting on a chair in the middle of the kitchen, a table filled with tins of food in front of him. Tim and Ryan stared at him as if he were a unique painting from a museum.Tom and Ryan stood next to Zeppelin, Ryan's arms folded.“You’re here,” Ryan muttered. “Are you done?”Zeppelin nodded. “I am. Let’s get started.”“Alright.”Ryan glanced at Tom. “Get the chairs.”“Okay,” Tom replied.In a few minutes, Tom carried three chairs into the kitchen, and the men finally sat down, gathering around the table.“I hope you all aren’t interested in eating my food,” Zeppelin inquired.“We’re not,” Tom responded. “We already ate; you can have it all to yourself.”Zeppelin's gaze turned to Perseus. “You could eat if you want.”“No thanks,” Perseus mumbled, leaning back against

“No way you are letting them in,” Ryan cried out, ignoring what Perseus had said about them staying with him.“Why can’t I let them in?” Perseus asked.A frown appeared on Ryan’s face, and he peered at Perseus. “You just can't let them in. I can't let them into this house. They aren't one but three.”“More than three, actually,” Perseus corrected.“What?”“There are five bodyguards with them,” Perseus replied. “That’s why I said I was going to get the door to be sure it's them.”“It is them.”“I've never had a girl in my house. Now you are just bringing three in so casually!” Ryan snapped. “They're not even my girlfriends.”“Do they have to be your girlfriend before you invite them in?” Perseus questioned. “If that's the way you feel, I might as well leave the house if you don’t want them in.”Ryan pouted. “Fine, they can come in.” He pulled out his phone and turned on the screen. Opening the camera, he was able to see those who were standing in front of his building. “They are eight

“More like it makes you more important in life-and-death situations. I wouldn’t be surprised if you die like a bug when we encounter the enemy,” Ryan taunted. “And don’t even think about trying to understand what is going on. All we need you for is your combat skills.”Loom’s brows knotted. “He specifically picked me.”“I know you are the AfterEnd guard that Perseus picked up. Don’t get your hopes up. How can we be sure you wouldn’t spy on us and sell the information for money?”“I would never do that.”“But you have done it several times, haven’t you?” Ryan asked, taking a step closer to Loom and leaning in. “Since I have always kept an eye on Perseus, I have investigated everyone who came near him, and you happen to be one of them.”Blood drained from Loom’s face. From the look Ryan was giving him, he could tell that Ryan knew a lot about him.“Were you stalking me?” Loom demanded.“You wouldn’t call it stalking. I sent people to investigate you, and I did it myself too. Now if you

“Don’t be too happy; we still have much to do,” Perseus cautioned. “You might regret your decision later.”“I won’t.”Perseus turned his gaze to Zeppelin. “Would you mind coming along with me?”“Are you heading out?” Zeppelin asked.“Yes,” Perseus answered. He still had a mission assigned to him by the system. He hadn’t paid attention to the time duration, and he had also said he would do it after the tournament. He couldn’t take the punishment from the system.[I had no idea you would remember,] Iris muttered, popping out. If you hadn’t, I would have been more than glad to take what the system wants as a punishment.][Do you know how long I have been waiting for the day when I will cut off your dick? Why do you have to remember your mission?]Perseus glared at Iris.“What about us?” Lexi asked. “Are you leaving us here?”He stared back at them. “Everything is fine, and I have good news for you.”“What’s the good news?” Eris asked, trying to stay calm.“You all are staying here with m

Perseus didn’t want to tell them that he owned the house. Although Zeppelin had seen the beach house, this one was even more luxurious.“Let’s go in,” Perseus said, ignoring their questions. They glared at him in response. “We aren’t visiting anyone. I came here to check the house because it is mine, and I haven’t seen it since the day I bought it,” he revealed.Zeppelin’s and Ryan’s jaws dropped in astonishment. They didn't expect the owner of such a luxurious house would be standing next to them and talking so casually.He began walking towards the building and they followed suit.“Didn’t you say you bought a beach house earlier?” Zeppelin questioned. “How could you buy this one?”Perseus ran his hand through his hair. “The house was sold off because it was said to be haunted and no one would purchase it, so I did.”Ryan frowned. “You bought a haunted house out of pity?”“It isn’t haunted,” Perseus replied. “Someone made that up to get the owner to sell the house so they could have
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 334_Mystery 2
[Pissed, the granddaughter spread rumors about the house to get back at her brother. These rumors made it hard for her brother to find workers, so he had to pay them more than anyone else would.][Soon afterward, the servants began complaining that they had been hearing voices in the middle of the night and footsteps that didn't belong to anyone in the house.][However, the owner didn’t believe it and fired the maid who had started the rumors about hearing things. He sent her packing. Others made no mistake in mentioning the noises and kept it to themselves since they wanted their jobs. Then his first child died in one of the rooms in a horrible way—he was murdered.][When the cops arrived and the death was investigated, they found a note on the wall written in blood. It said, ‘Get out of the house or I will keep on killing until I have had enough blood.’]Perseus sighed. “Doesn’t that mean the house is haunted?”[It is not!]“Are you saying it was a real killer and not a spiritual en
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 335_Bait
Perseus considered Zeppelin’s question. If the killer was still in the house, it would be odd since five years had gone by.“I don’t think the killer would still be here,” Perseus said. “It’s been five years; there’s no way he would be living here.” But he wondered why he had been sent here to investigate something that happened five years ago when everyone had already left.Ryan’s brows furrowed. “Killer? I thought we were talking about ghosts.”“So you fear ghosts?” Zeppelin questioned, turning his gaze away and heading for the stairs. “How lame.”“If it isn’t a ghost, how do you explain the camera not seeing what killed them?” Ryan demanded, his brows furrowing in defense.“That’s because it’s edited,” Zeppelin replied with a smile, glancing down from the stairs after taking his first step up. “Don’t tell me you believe in ghosts.”“Of course I do.” Ryan didn't deny it. “I know that they are real and that they’ve been haunting this place.”“There are no ghosts,” Perseus announced.

Perseus' lips parted to answer, but he paused. If the man was in the house, he was going to hear them talk about setting bait, and that would ruin their plan.‘Iris, is there a sound-blocking device I can get from the shop that could block our conversation from the ears of others?’The panel appeared in front of Perseus, and he stared at it. There were three devices laid out on the panel. Each of them looked alike but had different names.[Soundblocker: 5000 points.][Soundproof circle: 8500 points.][Soundless 7000 points.][Which one would you like to buy, host?] Iris questioned. [All of them have the same effect, but they have different time durations.]‘I will take the most expensive one,’ he stated. ‘What is the time duration for it?’[Twenty minutes.]That was enough time for them to say what they wanted.‘I will take it.’[Alright!][Your purchase has been made. You have successfully bought the soundproof circle effect, activating in seven seconds.]“Perseus, did you hear me?”

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. <
Chapter 469_Winner
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
Chapter 463_Aera
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
