Perseus ran his hand through his hair as he headed for the venue. Three guards stood at the entrance, scrutinizing everyone who approached.

He glanced around. The design was predominantly antiques and gold. The interior of the outer part of the venue was luxurious.

He wondered how much the prize money was that made Mr. Kim invite him. He was about to walk into the venue when one of the guards blocked his path with his hand.

“Your invitation,” the guard muttered.

“I don’t have one,” Perseus replied since Mr. Kim had told him nothing about the invitation or sent him one.

The guard scowled at him. “You can’t go in without an invitation.”

“I was invited,” Perseus insisted.

Both guards exchanged glances before turning their gazes away from him. Another man appeared next to Perseus, his hair dyed blue and a piercing on his nose.

“Welcome, Mr. Kelses,” the guards bowed their heads in greeting. “You can go in.”

Kelses grinned before walking into the venue. The men didn’t even ask for h

    Perseus was stunned by the revelation. He couldn’t believe that Tobias made him the largest shareholder and Mr. Kim the second. He wondered how many shares Tobias had and who was the CEO.“Why the hell did you make me the largest shareholder?” Perseus demanded. “I didn’t invest in anything. In fact, I knew nothing about your agency.”Tobias waved his hand dismissively. “No, you did invest something.”“I didn’t.”“You did.”“Tell me what I invested in.”“You invested in me.”“Huh?” Perseus furrowed his brow in confusion. “It was all thanks to you that I was able to get myself a girlfriend and an agency,” Tobias muttered. “My girlfriend was the lady to whom I sold the antiques you picked that day,” he explained. “You said she liked me first.”Tobias nodded. “She did. She took my contact to get to you, but since I refused to give her your contact and we went out on dates, she finally forgot about you.”“That’s great,” Perseus replied. “She seemed nice when I met her. Make sure not to g

    Kelses stormed his feet on the floor, ready to create a scene. He couldn’t believe Mr. Kim had ignored him and let them sit without asking for permission. Since no one was taking his words seriously that those seats were meant for him and his friend, he decided to use a different approach. He glanced at Tobias; he recognized Tobias as the new rising antique big shot, so his eyes averted until they landed on Perseus.His target, who wasn't part of the antique community,“This is unacceptable!” Kelses yelled. “Not only did you let him get into the venue without an invitation, you let him take the position of someone who is in business!”Perseus gave Kelses a blank stare, holding his gaze until he looked away. “Didn’t I say that he was my guest?” Mr. Kim roared, making the people sitting behind him flinch. “I won’t take it anymore if you keep on speaking; now scram before I get the security to throw you out.”Seeing that Mr. Kim would do like he said if he didn’t leave, Kelses's fist t

    “You deceived them into believing I couldn’t pick an antique? Just to make them think you are going to lose since you chose me,” Perseus questioned.Mr. Kim nodded. “Yes, that’s why I did it.”Perseus leaned back against the chair, a slow smile spreading across his face. “Alright,” he said, feeling a sense of relief and satisfaction settle in his chest. Mr. Kim had his reasons, and that was good enough for him.“Mr. Kim,” a voice said, making Perseus raise his head to look.He saw a familiar face; the person had a grin on his face as he stared at Mr. Kim.“Yama, you are here,” Mr. Kim responded.Yama nodded, throwing his head back. “Yes, have you picked who is going to represent you, or are you going to go in yourself and pick an antique?”“I might go by myself.”Yama looked stunned. “You and I know that you can’t pick antiques because of your terrible eyesight.”Perseus hadn’t noticed it before. Yama's lips twisted into a smirk, his eyes narrowing with a glint of mockery as he stared

    Perseus smirked. This was going to be an easy game for him.“One is to find genuine antiques in a room. There are tons of antiques that will confuse you, so make sure not to make a mistake. This first stage consists of one genuine antique in the room.” “The second stage consists of genuine antiques. You would be allowed to find genuine antiques; we won’t say how many are in the room until the contest ends.”Every one of the contestants looked bold and calm, each of them having the feeling that they were going to win. Perseus began to wonder how there would be a loser since they all intended to win.[That’s how it works, host.] Iris popped out. [They all think they will win until the game commences or until the results are called out.]Perseus glanced at Iris. ‘Great timing for you to show up.’[Yeah, yeah, I was busy with something.]‘Now you sound like a married woman.’Iris glared at him. [You better concentrate on the rules of the game, you motherfucker.]Grinning, Perseus paid at

    The murmurs grew more and more as Tristan challenged Perseus to speak. [Tristan is a fellow big shot in the industry, and I say that if it weren’t for the fact that Mr. Kim participated this year, he was going to win again.] Iris revealed. [Although he looks calm and harmless, he is a bully, and he abuses his power on people he deems weak.]‘Well, I am not weak.’[Exactly.]In the control room, the man behind the booming voice raised the mic to his lips to stop them from arguing, but an old man next to him stopped him. “Don’t do anything.” The old man stated: “I want to see what kind of person Mr. Kim chose.”The man with the mic nodded his head. "Yes, Mr. Long.”Mr. Long grinned. “Mr. Kim didn't participate in the contest because he had no one to represent him, but now he is participating. Do you think it is just a coincidence?”The man shook his head. “I don’t know. I have no idea why he would pick someone who doesn’t know how to pick antiques and isn’t in the register either.”M

    “How did you find the door so easily?” Tobias questioned, falling into step with Perseus after closing the door.“Lock the door with the keys,” Perseus told him. “We don’t need anyone coming into our space and ruining things for us.”Perseus had successfully ignored the question, and Tobias didn’t seem to notice. He walked back to the door and locked it before glancing back at Perseus.“We will head to the first stage first,” Perseus mumbled. “We need to find genuine antiques out of the fakes in the room.”Tobias nodded. “That's right, it should be super easy.”Perseus saw no need to try to convince him. The building was so bright that they could see every angle.After entering the first door, the only door they could see was the first stage door. This door was red, unlike the blue door they had walked in through.There was a sign next to the door that said it was the first stage. Perseus' eyes caught sight of several cameras aligned in the room from various angles.“Are you ready?” P

  • My Money Spendrift System    Chapter 358_Third Stage

    Everyone in the audience's eyes bulged out in surprise. Since the camera had given others screen time, the audience was unaware of what had happened with Perseus.Curiosity filled the air, and everyone began to murmur. Mr. Kim’s face was glued to the screen, expressionless with a frown on his face.He knew this was the time others would see how great Perseus was at picking antiques.The white-haired Seth had expected what had happened, and he still had a smile glued to his face.The second stage was tougher than the first stage, but he finished it faster than the first stage.That left confusion and curiosity in everyone's minds; they were all pissed that they were unable to see how he managed to do it so fast.“Do not give the others screen time anymore,” one person from the audience yelled. “You made us miss the best thing we should have watched!”“That’s right.”“Don’t give the others screen time anymore!”“We only want Perseus on the screen!”“Justice for Perseus!”Some fans of Pe

    Perseus ignored Tobias' question. He walked into the fourth stage room and closed the door after Tobias had walked in."We are here," he mumbled. "What's next?"Tobias glanced at him. "We will have to find the note like we did in the third room and figure out what we are meant to do," he answered, glancing around the room.Perseus scanned the room too and stared at the decor. The room was slightly different from the rest; the antiques were few and gently arranged on a table and shelves.Most of the antiques were jades, mugs, bowls, and jugs. There were some other antique types of different shapes and sizes there too, but their sizes were big enough to contain the bags they had."You will have to find the note," Perseus informed Tobias. "I will have to look around for a little bit."Tobias nodded, confusion written on his face. Although he was curious, he knew he had to wait until the game was over before he could ask Perseus about completing the mission before the note was found.Pers

    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

    [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

    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

    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
