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?”

Perseus released the door and turned back to the others. “We are trapped in. He is here; he locked us in.” He glanced at the panel to see that there was still more time left before the soundproof duration would run out.Ryan frowned. “Are you saying that we have been locked in such a horrible room like this?”Zeppelin stepped forward. “I will kick the door open. I don’t care if it is your house, but someone had just trespassed on my brother's house and also wanted to murder us in it. That is unacceptable.”“That’s right,” Ryan agreed. “This is unacceptable. You own this house, and you can do whatever you want.”Both men brushed past Perseus and headed for the door. Perseus grabbed them before they could get to the door.“I can get the door open, but I didn't,” Perseus informed them.“Why?” Zeppelin glanced back at him.“He can’t hear what we are saying because I activated a device,” Perseus began. “Aren’t you curious how he killed the others? If he wants to kill us using the same step

The man tried to turn his head to look at Perseus, but he couldn’t. His legs felt like jelly, and in a matter of seconds, he slumped down Perseus' arm, no longer resisting Perseus' grip.Perseus took it as a clue to let go of the man and let him drop to the floor. The man clutched his neck, his eyes wide with terror. He wasn’t dead or unconscious, but he wasn’t okay either.“You're done so quickly,” Zeppelin said, rising to his feet and stretching his arm. “It was hard falling over like that. I hit my arm by mistake.”“Me too, but it was my head,” Ryan stated as he rose to his feet. “It was a human who had been murdering others by taking advantage of the rumors going around that the house was haunted.”“Should I say I told you so?” Zeppelin asked. “You believed it was a ghost, and now that you have seen for yourself, will you give me the money we made a bet on?”Ryan scoffed. “I said that out of impulse. I didn’t mean I was going to hand the money over to you for real.”Perseus' gaze

It took a while for the cops to arrive. They walked around the house as they had planned during the wait.Not only did they find the room where the man watched every part of the house, but they also came across the decayed corpse of his daughter, which had turned into a skeleton. Several things in the room proved to the cops that the house wasn’t haunted.“To think that he almost injected you with that substance and not us,” Ryan stated. “Do you think he might have thought about making you a husband to his daughter?” he joked.Zeppelin frowned. “It wouldn’t be surprising if he did.”[It was part of his goal,] Iris announced. [He wanted to make you a husband to his daughter but failed.]Perseus didn’t think of that at all. [You would have been dead if it wasn’t for me.] Iris boasted, her chest swelling with pride. ‘Right because you were the one who moved.’[Well, you are welcome.]The branch of the police that came was different from Lexi’s. They carried Flinch into the van and drov
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 340_Lawyer
“What are you doing?” Ryan asked as soon as the words left Perseus’s lips. “We did nothing wrong.”Perseus gave them a look that showed he knew exactly what he was doing.The sheriff’s brows twitched, and he felt insulted. He gestured for his group, and they handcuffed all three of them and led them to the car.“That’s what you get, you liar,” the sheriff said before slamming the car door shut and heading to the driver’s seat. He got into the car and drove them to the station.A few minutes later, all three of them sat in the interrogation room, each staring at the sheriff in front of them.“Now what?” Ryan asked, tired from being sent to the station instead of going home. “Does the station offer food to its guests?” he teased, earning a glare from the sheriff.“Do you still claim that you own the Snake Castle?” the sheriff asked, his brows furrowing. His gaze focused on Perseus, who looked bored after listening to the sheriff’s questions over and over again.“Yes,” Perseus replied. “

The sheriff held up his hand, trying to explain himself. “I had no idea he was your client, but he trespassed into the Colt’s building.”“Was that the reason why you tried to blackmail him into giving you the credit for what he did alongside his brother?” Mr. Logan demanded.Perseus was stunned. He hadn’t told Mr. Logan about having a brother, but the man already knew. It was as if Mr. Logan was watching over him and following all that happened in his life.“I am sorry,” the sheriff apologized, not ready to argue with Mr. Logan since he knew what kind of man the lawyer was. “I made a mistake and would like to make up for it. However, he wouldn’t get away with trespassing into someone else's property.”“Apologize?” Mr. Logan scoffed. “That’s not enough for the damage you caused. I told you he owns the house, yet you refused to listen.”Taking out a file from his briefcase, he tossed it at the sheriff.“Those are the documents that prove Mr. Damon bought the house. I personally closed t

[You can head to school if you want, but if you choose to stay out of Maximillan’s reach, I will advise you against it.][Your exams and the other exams can be written from home. You just need to speak to the principal about it.]‘Can I go meet him now?’ He questioned.To him, it was easier to write it from home, as long as the questions were set on the system and he hadn’t even thought about the exams of the ladies when he brought them to another home.[Yes, the school period is not over yet.][You can meet up with him now and ask. He will agree to it.]‘Alright.’He glanced at Zeppelin. “Could you drive to campus? I have something to do there.”Zeppelin stared at him through the rearview mirror. “Okay.”“Don’t you have exams too?” Perseus asked him. “I do.” All of them were in their final years, and after these exams, they would successfully graduate and go find an intern or a job. Perseus knew he didn’t need to find a job, and so did his brother.“And you are not worried about sk

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. <

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

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
