“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
Perseus' eyes darted to Zeppelin. “What are you doing?” he demanded, eyes wide with confusion as he tried to understand his brother’s actions.Zeppelin glanced at him, confusion etched on his face. “I am bringing them out here to open the door for us to get in.”Before Perseus could respond or think about it, the door opened, and a man appeared in the doorway.Perseus got out of the man’s way as the man brushed past him to check who had just knocked on the door.“See,” Zeppelin chimed, gesturing at the man. “It worked. He came out to see who it was and gave us the chance to go in.”Perseus sighed in relief. “You shouldn’t act that rashly next time though. What if he had locked the door behind him as soon as he walked out?”“That won’t happen.”Perseus walked towards the door, the cold metal handle chilling his hand as he stepped inside. “We don’t have much time left. Let’s go in.”Zeppelin followed Perseus, and immediately they walked in, two men brushed past them and headed for the d
Seeing that the men's gazes followed all of Perseus’ movements, Iris' face went pale. [They can see you even with the invisible coat on. You have to leave!]Perseus' brows twitched. ‘How is that possible?’[The light!] Iris replied. [The light made them see you both.]‘Damn it!’ Perseus cursed.The men, expecting to see a device, saw humans instead. They had thought it was just a trespasser, but the light on their wristwatches beeped a continuous purple light, indicating that the humans were the device they had sensed.“We finally found you guys,” the man at the table muttered, eyeing the two. “Just give up; there is no way to run, and you can’t escape.”The man who had just spoken was called Louis. He was the leader of the security men in the company, and he had the widest grin on his face.“They can see us?” Zeppelin asked, whispering.“Yes, they ca
Slamming the door shut behind them, Ryan locked it securely. Lexi’s grip on the knife tightened as a frown crossed her face. If Ryan hadn’t dragged her outside, she would have finished Bett, who seemed to be leading the men to chase after Perseus.“There isn’t enough time,” Ryan said. “If I hadn’t pulled you out, he would have captured you and used you as bait.”“What?” Lexi was taken aback.“And you know if you were bait, Perseus would never run away until he got you back.” He grabbed her hand and broke into a run.Lexi didn’t have time to ask him what he meant by that. She wasn’t some weak lady who would be caught without a fight, and she would have killed Bett right there.“How would I be captured by them?” she questioned as Ryan pulled her along.He was checking his wristwatch and speaking into it in a hushed tone. “Where are you guys? Lexi is with me. They already figured out we are fake. I will get the car ready and leave Lexi there before coming back for you.”He didn’t wait fo
Without hesitation, the men handed Bett the syringe. It was medium-sized and filled with a blue substance that seemed almost alive as it moved within the syringe. The color was unpleasant, as was the smell.Bett wasted no time. He injected himself with the substance, a grin plastered on his face.“This feeling is so good,” he mumbled.The blue liquid moved visibly through his veins, spreading across his body and making his smile grow even wider. The device on his back moved in rhythm with the liquid. When he was done, he tossed the syringe and crushed it under his feet.Flexing his arm, he tilted his head back and forth, the blue substance visibly crawling up his neck to his head. As it reached his brain, Bett groaned. The liquid crawled to his eyes, and in three seconds, his eyes closed and then reopened, looking normal.Bett glanced at his hand. Although there were no visible changes, he felt the energy and power surging through him.Now he was sure that nothing like this would happ
They listened intently to what Ryan had to say, but the most striking part was:“They are coming after you because your blood is what they need. Whatever you do, don't let yourself bleed, okay? We have no idea what Seus can do. We haven’t gotten that information yet, and we can't let them get your blood.”“Like I said, I will take Lexi out of the building if possible before they come after us. Don’t worry, I will keep her out of danger.”“Focus on saving yourself and don’t get cut. Make sure you don’t bleed.”‘Don’t bleed?’ Perseus thought. If they had advanced technology for combat, there was no guarantee he wouldn’t bleed when they attacked.“Tell him that if he manages to get Lexi to the car, they should leave and not come back for us,” Perseus muttered. “They should think of themselves first.”Zeppelin nodded and relayed Perseus's message. Perseus guessed they wouldn’t listen and leave, but he knew he had to try.“I’ll take this, this, and this,” Perseus muttered, pointing at the
