My Money Spendrift System Chapter 371_Meeting Bett
“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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 372_Key/Plan
“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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 373_Finding the Room
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 374_Caught
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 375_Wide Escape
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 376_Advanced Device
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 377_Alive or Half-dead
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
My Money Spendrift System Chapter 378_New Mission
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

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
Chapter 468_Forest 79%
‘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
Chapter 463_Aera
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
