“Okay,” Zeppelin agreed.“I am not going!” Lexi yelled, the thought of going to the hospital for treatment making her sick. “Treating me like this has always been fine. I have always been injured in my jobs and none of them have ever been treated at a hospital.”“Yes, she isn’t going to the hospital,” Perseus said.[Ding!][Since Lexi is injured, do you want to use the healing ability to heal her?]‘Is it possible?’ Perseus questioned, stunned that it would work.[Yes, as long as you guys are merged and your blood is inside of her, you can heal her with the ability.][Your energy will pass through her and heal the injury.]“The injury is deep!” Ryan argued, concern written all over his face. “I couldn’t protect her properly, and now you are refusing to send her to the hospital? Are you trying to kill her?”‘Use the ability,’ Perseus told Iris.[Yes, host.]“My blood heals any injury,” Perseus revealed. “It heals me too. Didn’t you guys notice that I was stabbed everywhere by those met
“You talk too much!” Lexi yelled. Before the leader could understand what was happening, the pistol in Lexi’s hand turned into a sword, and off went his head. Lexi stopped behind the leader as his body fell to the floor. Ryan and Zeppelin paused, their eyes widening in surprise. Lexi was even more stunned. She didn’t understand how she was fast enough to take him down with one attack, and her body felt lighter than it had earlier.[Host, it did work,] Iris muttered.‘I know, right.’The men who had come with the leader’s mocking smiles disappeared from their faces. Seeing their leader die, they knew the fight was serious and they could end up like him if they didn’t strike.“Come on,” one of them yelled. “Attack at once!”The men lunged at the three. Zeppelin raised his gun and fired. Five bullets flew through the air, hitting five men in the head. Now, they were left with only one man. The man glanced back at his partners, now dead. Blood drained from his face, and instead of att
Zeppelin pulled up his sleeve, revealing a thin gold line. In a few seconds, his hand reached for his chest, and he began breathing heavily. The pain was worse than he thought it would be.“Are you hearing me?” A woman’s voice came through his wristwatch. “I know you are. You didn’t take off the watch. Good boy.”Zeppelin scowled at the voice. “What do you want?”“I can’t believe you escaped us just to be with your brother and forgot that you are a puppet in our hands. We can make you do whatever we want.”“Go fuck yourself.”“You shouldn’t be saying that right now.”A beeping sound followed, and the pain in his chest intensified. “You don’t want to die, right?” the woman taunted. “You know how much your brother cares about you. You know he doesn’t want to lose you—”“What’s your point?” Zeppelin interrupted.“I can give you the antidote if you come to find me. I will tell you where I am.”“I won’t go.”“You wouldn’t?”The pain increased, and Zeppelin crashed to the floor, gripping hi
Getting to the door, he took a deep breath and pushed it open.As soon as he walked in, three men lunged at him, two hitting him in the head with a baseball bat and the other attacking him with electricity.Perseus stood still, none of their attacks affecting him. It was more like he was hit by nothing at all. The electricity was the one with no effect. Compared to being electrocuted by Iris, that little electricity was nothing."You dummy! Didn’t you want to get caught? Why are you still standing straight? Fall!" Iris’s voice reminded him.Perseus fell to the ground.‘Iris, can you make me unconscious for twenty minutes?’[Done.]When Perseus woke up after twenty minutes, he could hear voices chattering around him.“We can’t extract his blood unless he is conscious.”“Do we have to wait that long?”“That’s why I told you all not to hit his head with a baseball bat, but you guys didn’t listen.”“We couldn’t capture him if we didn’t hit his head.”“He isn’t like his brother, who would
“I also want to see Seus get launched,” Perseus replied. “This organization is way stronger than me, and if I fight back, I am going to be killed. So I thought, why not give myself up, let you take my blood, and live?”“You want him dead, really?” the long-legged lady questioned, glaring at him.“Yes,” he replied, arching his brows. “He is nothing but a burden, and I would be glad I didn’t have to do the bloody job myself. Besides, I would like the Maximillian to kill him themselves, and you guys have no idea that Seus would only launch when I agree to give my blood and not the other way around.”The surprised look on their faces was laced with confusion.“Are you lying to us?” the man in glasses questioned.“Of course not. Why would I lie to you?” Perseus held his gaze, unwavering, with a thin smile on his face.Of course, he was lying. He was deceiving them and making them bring Maximillian into the lab so he could deal with them himself.‘Iris, what are the chances of Zeppelin dyin
Perseus smiled. “You would do it if you wanted my blood.”Glasses wanted to retort, but Gim placed a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I will remove it.” She then leaned in to whisper in his ear. “If we get the blood, we can get our revenge on him.”Glasses smiled slyly, liking the sound of that. “Okay.”In the next few minutes, Gim worked on Zeppelin and pulled the chip out of his body. When she was done, she held it up for Perseus to see.“Are you satisfied?” Gim demanded, wiping her forehead, which was drenched with sweat.“Yes, I am indeed satisfied,” Perseus replied. “Give the chip to Trish and let her destroy it.”Trish didn’t wait for it to be given to her before she took it and tossed it to the floor. She crushed it under her feet.“It’s all done!” Trish yelled. “Now, can we get your blood?”“Yes, as soon as Maximilian's family gets here,” Perseus replied, the grin on his face spreading as he enjoyed every bit of the moment.Gim stormed her foot on the ground and waited. She
Hearing Lily’s words, Perseus couldn’t stop the smile from curling up his lips. He was pleased that although they used Zeppelin, he still managed to hide the fact that he was immune to poison.Perseus' eyes darted to Trish. She had a hand over her mouth. Her face was pale, and he knew it probably shocked her that he had killed his brother.He glanced at Dawn, and it was the same look on her face, but more pronounced than Trish’s. She looked like she was going to throw up.Perseus scoffed. There wasn't even blood yet.“Your dead brother told me that he needed to find his brother, and I overlooked it,” Lily told Perseus, not understanding how cruel he was to do that to his brother. “Now, I get to see him get killed by the person he had been searching for all his life.”“Isn’t that satisfying for you?” Perseus questioned. “I know you enjoy killing the people who loved you the most, just like when you killed my mother.”Lily flinched but regained her composure since everyone in the room k
“You have only 12 hours to transfer everything into my name,” Perseus purred, his gaze unwavering as he stared at Lily.Lily frowned, her displeasure clear. She glanced back at the other Maximillian, who shook their heads, urging her to reject him.“Is giving them back going to be hard?” Perseus questioned.The scientists in the room had frowns on their faces. Glasses was the most pissed, barely stopping himself from lunging at Perseus.“It isn’t hard to give it back,” Lily replied, turning her gaze back to Perseus.Although he asked for his parents' properties back before he could give out his blood, she could give it to him and get it back after she had taken his blood and unlocked Seus.She knew Seus was a strong device with extraordinary power, and once she unlocked it, Perseus would be nothing to her.She had taken the properties from his parents, taking it from him wouldn’t be a big deal.“Then, are you going to give it back?” Perseus questioned.Lily nodded her head. “Of course
