“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
Perseus smiled when he saw a green panel in front of him. The name on the panel boldly read "Seus."When he heard about his parents' project, he never thought it was going to be a system.Coupled with the fact that the system was more advanced than Iris.[I can hear you!] Iris snapped. [Comparing me with Seus, I see. When this is all over, you will be punished for it!][I guess it has been a while since you've gotten any punishment.]A smile curled up Perseus' lips. ‘I was telling the truth.’Iris pouted. [You are an idiot, like always. Hmph!]Perseus ignored her and turned his gaze to the green panel in front of him. The panel showed the installation progress, and it was barely at one percent.“Aren’t I talking to you?” Pilly's voice reached Perseus, and in the next minute, a shoe was flung at Perseus’ face, which he dodged. “How dare you ignore me when I am speaking?”Per
The scientist's eyes brightened looking at her. Now they would be able to unlock Seus and take revenge on Perseus, who had embarrassed them.“This is the file you wanted,” Lily announced. “All of your parents' properties have been given to you since I have signed it.”‘That was fast,’ Perseus murmured.‘Is she lying?’ Perseus asked the systems.[She is not,] Lint replied before Iris could. [All of your parents' properties will be returned as long as you sign it.]‘Add my signature.’[Done,] Iris muttered.‘Good job, you two.’Perseus smiled. “Then toss the file up to me, Lily.”Lily hesitated. Her initial intention was to prevent him from signing the file. It would have made things easier for them. “Are you going to sign the file without your second request?”“Yes, but I already signed it.”“Stop joking around,” Lily scolded before opening the file. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw that it was indeed signed. “How is this even possible?” She raised her head to look at him. “Is th
Perseus waved his chained hand, bringing everyone’s attention to the sheet of paper in his hand.Seeing the color of the document, Lily’s blood ran cold. She had intentionally used a red sheet of paper so that she could tell the difference between the documents from other ones.[Ding!][The assets and everything under them have been transferred to you, and you are now the owner of everything they once had.][Congratulations, you have received a first-timer gift from Lint.][You can’t check it now until you are done,] Iris chimed in, leaning closer to Perseus’s ear and whispering, [Don’t you dare take gifts from Lint.]Perseus frowned. He was just about to speak to Lily, and now he was getting distracted by Iris. He could have grabbed her and tossed her as far as he could if it wasn’t for the fact that he was chained.‘Just do your job and give her the new documents,’ Perseus mumbled.[Yes.]“How did you get those documents?” Lily questioned. “I was sure that there was only one copy.”
He fell backward, crashing into the one he had protected with his life. The two remaining brothers' eyes widened in shock.The scientists in the room bolted for cover, scrambling to avoid the hail of bullets.As the one she shot collided to the floor, the one he had protected bent towards him to check if he was alright, but froze when a gun pressed against his temple.“Goodbye.” She shot him in the head before he could utter a word. He dropped dead on top of his already dead brother.She spun around to look at the last one, but he drove a knife into her belly, stunning her and confirming her fear of being killed by the one she cared about.“Why?” she gasped. “Why did you do it? You should be the one feeling the pain, not me.” The gun slipped from her hand as she clung to her brother, who drove the knife in deeper, again and again. Not once, not twice, not thrice.“How could you have killed them?” the last brother demanded, releasing her and collapsing to the ground on his butt as he r
