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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 359_Fourth Stage
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 360_Bonus Room
“Weird.” Barley turned his head back to the screen.“Now switch it back to my precious grandsons. I have to watch what they are doing,” Mr. Long said, and Barley’s head snapped back to him.“I am your real grandson, old man!” Barley yelled. “You don’t even let me call you grandpa but call them your grandsons when you don’t identify me as one.”“That’s because I don’t need a useless grandson.”“Hmph.” Barley scoffed. “Your picked grandsons are going to embarrass you, just wait.”“I hope you have ten million?” Mr. Long asked with a smirk. “Don’t use my credit card when paying me.”“I won’t.”Mr. Long grinned. "Of course you would."In the audience, Seth dug his hand into the bowl of popcorn to see that it was empty.He grunted before tossing the bowl. It fell over, passed over, and crashed against a man's head with a little thud before flipping over and landing on the floor.“Tsk!” Seth turned his head away as soon as the man glanced up to see who had dropped the bowl on his head.The m

The man who had roared was none other than Yama. His loud voice drew the attention of almost everyone in the audience and the important members of the antique community.Mr. Kim didn’t bother looking at Yama; after all, he had expected this to happen.Although Perseus had shown his skill to him once, he couldn’t get over the fact that Perseus was that fast in identifying antiques.What he had told Perseus about using him to prove to Yama that he was skilled was all bullshit. That reason was part of it, but the main reason he had asked Perseus to participate was that he wanted to test and see Perseus' skill.Now, he was sure that he made the right choice in getting his granddaughter engaged to Perseus. All he had to do now was plan an engagement party and try to add Eris as well.“I said stop that bastard!!” Yama’s loud voice brought Mr. Kim back to reality. “He is bad at picking antiques, and there was no way he could have identified them!”“Someone must have told him the things in th
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 362_Argument
Mr. Long wanted to tease Barley even further, but there were important things to do. He glanced at the screen; Perseus and Tobias were still looking at the door.“Switch the camera to the others,” Mr. Long said. “The stuff in the bonus room isn't meant to be seen, and there are no cameras there.”Barley nodded. “Yes, Grandpa.”Mr. Long smacked him across the head. “It isn’t Grandpa; it is Mr. Long for you.”Anger flashed in Barley’s eyes. “Yes… yes, Mr. Long.”Switching the screen, Barley split it into the number of teams in the contest. Some were in the second stage, others in the third stage.Yama's grandsons were in the fourth stage. Barley felt stupid for having compared those worms to Perseus. Not wanting to watch the others, he picked up a laptop that showed Yama and the others and began watching.Back in the audience, Yama’s smirk was still in place as the audience supported him.“Is that the evidence you have?” Seth spoke up, drawing all attention to him.Mr. Kim’s frown deepe
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 363_Out
“No way!” Tobias grumbled. “What we pick in the bonus room will belong to us and not anyone else.”Perseus' brows furrowed; he wasn’t expecting that.“We can pick anything we want, no matter the price or number. We can decide to take everything in the bonus room too, but who would be so greedy to do that?”Perseus tilted his head to the side. He would be able to get antiques worth a lot, and since the room hasn't been explored for 60 years, he would be able to find one.[Right,] Iris muttered. [There are antiques there that are worth millions of dollars.]“Let’s go in.”Perseus headed for the door, and it opened almost immediately. The room was so dark that he and Tobias couldn’t see what was inside from outside.“Walk into the door and let it close,” the robotic voice said.Perseus stepped through the door, and Tobias did the same. The creaking sound of the door made Tobias flinch, and he glanced back to see the door slam shut.Tobias immediately panicked. “Are there other ways to le
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 364_First
He would surely win the contest, not that man that Mr. Kim chose.“The Tristans are out first,” Barley announced, distaste in his mouth. “Now that you three are here, there is a mic there for you to tell us what you did as the first person.”Yama’s proud smile increased further. He turned his head to look at Mr. Kim, their eyes met, and he smirked at Mr. Kim.Mr. Kim turned his gaze away. Yama wasn’t trying to hide that he didn’t like Mr. Kim, especially now that he was overwhelmed by his grandsons being first.“They are first,” the old man with a long beard muttered. “I thought Perseus was going to be first since they were done before Tristan’s.”“Are they still in the bonus room?” another asked.“Perhaps they are still in the bonus room or having difficulties, I suppose.”“Being first doesn’t mean they will win,” one with a shiny head added.Mr. Kim didn’t bother saying anything to them; he just watched Yama’s grandsons and Kelses.With identical grins on their faces, Tristan reache
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 365_Cousin’s Fight
“How dare he speak to me like that?” Tristan yelled, his brows twitching in anger, a thin line spreading across his forehead as he knocked a vase off the table next to him.They were in a room given to the contestants, one room for each team.Kelses was lying on a bed on his back, glancing at the ceiling. He was not ready to pay attention to Tristan throwing one of his tantrums.“What are you bothered about?” Scott questioned a sly smile appearing on his face. “I see no reason why we have to be bothered about him getting the bonus room. That just proves that we underestimated him and that Grandpa was wrong.”The cousins had opposite expressions on their faces that differed from the ones they displayed to the public.Scott, who had always acted tough in public, had a calm smile on his face, while his cousin, who always smiled, had a deep frown.Hearing what Scott just said, Tristan’s gaze snapped to his cousin. “What the hell did you just say?!” he bellowed, dashing towards Scott and g

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

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
