“I never expected that a restaurant could be opened with only one food and have a lot of customers on the first day.” The person added as he eyed Perseus with a calm smile on his face.Perseus' eyes widened in surprise. “Nathaniel Sterling?”Nathaniel shook his head. “It's nice meeting you; I can see that you already know my name. I don't need to introduce myself.” He stretched out his hand for a handshake. “I never knew that you would know about me.”Perseus took his hand with thoughts running through his head. Didn't Eris and Sherry say that the man in front of him was a snub?He should be only talking about the food he made and not trying to strike up a conversation with Perseus.Perseus felt uneasy since he was doing the opposite of what Sherry said he would. He still saw the man's face, trying to see if he was speaking to Nathaniel Sterling.Perseus faked a smile. “I see that you know me too; there is no need for introductions. Nice meeting you too.” Perseus tried his very best t
"Congratulations!" Sherry told him as she hurried over to where he was standing with Eris.He smiled at her. “We did it together; there is no need to tell me that.”Sherry grinned at him. “Well, that's right.” She stood next to him. “I heard that you were looking for Mr. Sterling.”“I am.”"He has already left.”“Did he leave his contact information with you?”Sherry shook her head. “No.”Perseus sighed. “I can't believe I will have to find him now.”[He has already left. Yes. He is in the kitchen, wondering how the pasta was made. A 75%]Perseus glanced at the system; it was quite confusing sometimes. It usually gives the direct answer, but then it gives answers using probability and based on his thinking.Perseus knew he had to find Nathaniel before time went by. If he failed, there was a punishment awaiting him, and he wouldn't want any of them.[Glad that you know that you can't ditch the punishment.][You still have to find Nathaniel, but that's when you are done with this openin
Perseus ruffled his hair as two curious blue eyes held his brown ones. Eris looked less curious, but he could tell that she was.“You cover the bowl with the lid and store it in the fridge.”They stared at him like he had just said something stupid. It sounded stupid to them.“Why store it in the fridge?” Eris asked. “It is only going to get cold.”“She is right.” Sherry supported. “No one would want to buy cold pasta.”Perseus shook his head. “I assure you that the pasta won't get cold; I have been eating it for years now.”Sherry arched her brows. “I guess.”“Does that mean that the pasta never gets cold? How is it okay for human consumption if it is that hot?” Eris inquired.“Yes, you ate it. Didn't you?”She nodded her head. “I did; I could also tell that it was hot until I blew it cold.”“Right.” Perseus agreed.Perseus made his way towards the kitchen; he was doing that to avoid the ladies who were about to question him to death.“I will go make the pasta." He told them. "Eris,
The question made Perseus bite his lips to stop himself from laughing, while Tobias looked like he had been shot.“You both don't like my pasta?” Tobias inquired, a hurt look appearing on his face. “Why eat it if you don't like it?”“It tasted awful,” Orion admitted. “We ate it because you made it; also remember that Perseus mostly gave his to me with the excuse that he doesn't."Perseus reacted in time and shut Orion's lips with a bundle of ten thousand dollars.“If you tell him a thing.” Perseus began as he stared at Orion. “I will take back my money.”Seeing the free money, Orion had no reason to continue what he was saying. He took the money with a wide grin on his face before digging it into his pocket.Tobias frowned at Perseus. “How come he gets that and I don't?"“Fine.”With a smile on Perseus' face, he gave Tobias the same amount of money.“I hope you both can get some new clothes to wear or if you want to invest the money somewhere, you can. If the money isn't enough, you c
Gamer No. 2. A thin line appeared on Perseus' face. The dude in front of him was the second-best after Eris. From the look of things, he looked like he was.Perseus glanced at Eris, and he noticed that she had changed back into pants and a hoodie. His brows furrowed. She wore a gown earlier; why did she wear it if she wasn't comfortable in it?“This is where my face is, man.” Ethan drew his attention back to himself. “Are you staring at her to save you?”Perseus grinned at Ethan. “I like your idea, but I wouldn't want Eris to interrupt my game with you.”Ethan folded his arms, his confidence aura emitting from him as his lips curled into a perfect smirk.“Is that so?” Ethan asked. “Are you really that confident? Judging from the look of things, you don't look like a gamer to me.”Perseus shrugged, rolling his eyes in the process. “Yeah, it's not like I would walk around with the sign on my forehead.”“I know a gamer when I see one.” Ethan scoffed.“I guess your observations don't work
His words shook the gamers. Perseus, on the other hand, had no idea why the gamers looked stunned.“What's so special about being challenged to a duel with him?” Perseus inquired, his gaze trailing from Eris to the others.Eris stared at him; she was staring at Ethan in disbelief, but her reaction said otherwise. Ethan was willing to lose his position again. She thought that he had changed when she took his place, but now she knows that he hasn't.“Here is how the duel goes.” One of the gamers began. “There has to be a loser and a winner; the winner has the right to tell the loser what to do for him.”“No matter what the winner instructs the loser to do, the loser must do it. Also, the duel is going to be held in two days. Both gamers have to practice before then.”Perseus liked the sound of it because he knew that he wouldn't lose. This way, he could get the position and complete the mission.It was so easy.“You could ask him to give us his position for you, and he could ask you nev
Perseus grinned at her. "Yes, I am."He led the way until they got to the cafe that he chose. It took a lot of time before he chose that one; the others followed him until they were standing in front of the computers.“I will be right back.” He told Eris. “Could you order pizza and drinks?” He requested it as he handed his golden card to her.Eris was stunned when she saw the card, as well as the others in the cafe.“Is that a golden card?” One of them asked, “Is he wealthy?”Ethan didn't seem to like the fact that the others were paying attention to Perseus. He pulled out his card, took Perseus's card, and threw it at Perseus.“We don't need your charity; I can pay for the pizza and drinks and any other thing that you all need,” Ethan said.Perseus's lips pressed against each other as he caught the card in between his fingers.“Okay,” Perseus muttered, his gaze shifting to the gamers. “I wanted to pay; however, Ethan suggested he did. So, you all order whatever you want to, and bill
Nick shook his head again.“Iris, what is the percentage of me convincing him?”[12%]“So low?”Perseus wanted to give up, but then an idea came into his head.“I already said that I wasn't going to stay here for more than an hour.” Nick folded his arms. “Money can't make me..." he paused when Perseus shoved something in his face.With a smile on his face, Perseus asked. “What about pasta from my restaurant?”Nick's eyes widened at the sight of the pasta.“Iris, what's the percentage of him agreeing to it now?”[89%]Perseus grinned; the man wanted the pasta.“Why are you giving it to me?” Nick demanded. "Besides, I didn't see you come here holding pasta.”Perseus smiled. “I have it with me, but you didn't notice. Can we have the cafe for five hours?”Perseus placed the bowl in front of Nick. The aroma of the pasta filled the atmosphere, making Nick's mouth water for the pasta.Nick cleared his throat, his face turning red in embarrassment. “How could a bowl of pasta equal five hours
