My Money Spendrift System Chapter 361_Cheated
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

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

“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

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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 366_Tobias X Scott
Tobias glanced at the door as Perseus walked back in. “Aren’t you going out anymore? I thought you wanted to get something.”“Not anymore,” Perseus replied, shaking his head. “And why aren’t you asleep yet?”Tobias tilted his head to the side. “I didn’t feel like it.”Perseus walked further into the room, and it was then that Scott came into view. There was a thin smile on Scott's face, and he waved at Tobias as soon as their eyes met.“What is he doing here?” Tobias demanded, his eyes widening in surprise as he pointed his finger at Scott. “Why did you let him in?”There was a slight look of resentment in Tobias’s eyes as he glanced at Scott.“He is injured,” Perseus answered, shrugging it off like it wasn’t a big deal. “I can’t let him go if he is bleeding. You wouldn’t want to let him bleed to death, would you?”Tobias noticed the blood dripping from Scott’s nose and shook his head. “Watch him bleed? Not my problem, that's just not my problem.”“Well, it will be yours sooner or lat
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 367_Alright
“So, why are you here?” Tobias questioned, still not giving up.“Like he said, he invited me in, and I wouldn’t try to hurt you both,” Scott grumbled. “Besides, I got this injury because I asked him not to try to do anything to you both.”Tobias' eyes widened in shock, but he managed to hide his surprise. He wasn’t going to fall for what Scott had to say.“Are you telling us this and betraying your cousin?” Perseus questioned.Scott shook his head. “This isn’t betrayal! He should know that he wouldn't win all the time. I am both angry and concerned.”Perseus cocked his head to the side. “What would he do to you if he knew you were here?”“Perhaps another punch,” Scott replied, not hiding the fact that he was punched by his cousin.From the tone of his voice, Perseus was sure that it must be a regular thing for Scott to be punched by Tristan.“Do you often get punched by your cousin?” Tobias questioned.Scott shook his head. “Don’t ask me that.”There was silence between them for a whi

Perseus shook his head in response to Iris's question. “No need, that would only put my ally in trouble. Let it go. I will get rid of the stuff.”While they checked the antiques of Tristan's team, Perseus took out the item Tristan had placed in his bag and handed it to Iris.[I will take care of it, host,] Iris replied.In a few minutes, Perseus was walking past Tristan, who had a smile on his face. While the old men checked the antiques, Tobias answered all their questions.Tristan's brows furrowed as he waited for the old men to find the item he had added to Perseus's antiques. The goal was to get Perseus into trouble.However, as time passed, Tristan began to wonder why the old men hadn’t found it yet or if he had made a mistake when inserting it.“That’s all,” the old man muttered, handing the antiques they had picked to someone who took them and left. “Were you the ones who got the bonus room?”To Perseus, it was already getting so boring staying there. He couldn’t wait for it to

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
