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
“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
The next day, Perseus was still in bed when he felt someone shaking him to wake up. After the results had been announced the previous day, he wasn’t allowed to leave until he had a drink. He had to stay with the old man and attend the welcome party they had made for him.It had been so tiring, and when he checked the time, it was already late, and he had to go home. He was allowed to leave at midnight, and by the time he got home, it was 1 am because he had to drop Tobias off. The others were already asleep, so he headed to bed.“Wake up!” Eris's loud voice reached him. “We will miss our flight if you keep sleeping!”She was standing over him on the bed and pulling him by the arm to wake him up. He heard her but wanted more sleep.“Come on, Perseus!” she yelled.Before Perseus could open his eyes, he was thrown off the bed and crashed to the floor with a loud thud.“Ouch,” he grunted. “Do you have to be mean?”“I am sure that didn’t affect you,” Sherry said, walking into his room.Per
Seth spun around to look at them as they walked past the shop he was sitting in. Steam was rising from the mug and evaporating into the air as he held the hot coffee in front of him.He wasn’t able to get the information about where Perseus was heading, so he followed him back, all the way to Tobias's home, the airport, and now another country.They hadn’t even given him the time to pick up some stuff. The only things he had brought to the country were his phone and money. No clothes.A smile curled up his lips as he adjusted the cap on his head. The smile disappeared as soon as the cap stuck to his head, so he pulled it off.His long hair twirled around and fell over his shoulders. He ran his hand through his hair to arrange it, drawing the attention of the ladies next to him.“That guy is so hot, is he a foreigner?” one of them asked.They began drooling, but he didn’t give them the time to continue. He rose to his feet and left. He made sure to keep enough distance between him and
“What the fuck!” Sherry yelled, but Eris began shoving her into the house.“Don’t worry, Perseus, we will stay home,” Eris said. “I need that gaming PC, Sherry.”Sherry struggled, but it was no match against Eris, who wanted the gaming PC so badly. Perseus smiled; Eris was going to keep Sherry in check.“Let’s go,” Perseus said, walking out of the building with the rest behind him.*****“Hello, Mr. Georgys,” a man in glasses greeted them at the front door that led to the company. “I am Bett, and I will be your tour guide for today.” His eyes trailed to Lexi. “I see you brought an extra.”“She is our assistant,” Ryan responded first. “She will handle any documents we have to take care of.”“Oh,” Bett mumbled. “I don’t think that will be necessary. You can send her back; we have more than enough people to help you here.”Ryan shook his head. “My husbands would like to use someone they already know, and I wouldn’t want to make them feel uncomfortable.”Perseus was trying his very best t
“I have a plan,” Perseus mumbled, drawing Zeppelin’s attention to himself.“What’s your plan?” Zeppelin questioned, arching his brows and wondering what was going on in Perseus' head.“We will leave this room,” Perseus replied. “We have to leave the room and go to the control room of the building to hack into all the computers and get all the information we want.”“We have to leave?” Zeppelin asked, glancing around the room as if it wasn’t possible.The door was locked and metal. There were walls all around, and the only window was high above and too small for them to fit through.“How are we going to leave a room like this when we are locked in?” Zeppelin continued. “Don’t tell me we have to break the door or wall. That is going to attract them.”Perseus thought about it. With such a metal door, it was clear that the locks wouldn’t open if they tried to pick them, and the window was not an option either.He also wondered how many cameras would be lined up in the passageway and other
Zeppelin spun around to look at Perseus. Seeing Perseus there made his eyes widen in surprise. “If you hadn’t told me about the coat making you invisible, I wouldn’t have believed you are still alive and not a ghost.”Perseus' brows furrowed. “If that was what you thought, why did you believe me when I said it was a coat?”Zeppelin shrugged. “Our parents have made so much stuff. So, I am not surprised if they made that. After all, they are geniuses.”Perseus nodded in agreement. “Of course they are.” He gestured to the coat. “You can use the coat by tying it around your neck. That’s all.”“It’s two?” Zeppelin questioned, his gaze falling on the coat.“I split it into two so you could use one.”Zeppelin walked over to the coat, picked one piece, and wrapped it around his neck almost immediately. He glanced back at Perseus.He waved his hand and grinned at Perseus. “You can’t see me, can you?”Perseus chuckled at his brother’s reaction to the coat. Zeppelin wasn't invisible; he could se
