Archie sat at the computer screen, savoring a hot cup of coffee. He watched as Perseus and the others headed for his office. A sneering smile of satisfaction curled up his lips.He had his glasses on, which glittered from the light of the screen.The men he sent had been lifesavers; they wanted their freedom so badly that they brought Perseus to him alive. He could tell that Perseus gave up willingly and that the men persuaded him to come along.He squinted his eyes to see that the men were carrying a woman and a man. His eyes brightened; he was finally going to meet a woman outside the company and see if she was suitable as a subject for his experiment.“Come in quickly,” he muttered, smiling.He shook the mug in his hand, steam rising from it and floating in the air. Raising the mug to his lips, he drank all its contents. He ignored the burning sensation on his lips and shook his head.He needed to prepare before the men arrived. Still smiling, he rose to his feet and headed to the
The blades were wing-like and large enough to carry him. Archie flew in the air, far above Perseus.“Aren’t you scared?” Archie questioned, flexing the wings. “This blade can cut you in seconds!”Perseus ran his hand through his hair and shrugged. ‘Iris, what’s the energy of the wings, and how far can they go?’[It is the wingy blade. It can be used for flying and cutting an opponent into shreds. Its attack level is high and can be stretched to go as far as 50 cm. One cut can sever bones, potentially cutting off a hand if they aren’t careful.]Lint nodded. [Even if it cuts off your hand, we can heal you with our healing ability.]Perseus glared at Lint. ‘Why would I let him cut my hand? Even if I can heal it, I’d be traumatized seeing my arm in front of me.’[That’s not true. You won’t be traumatized,] Iris replied.Archie’s brows arched in confusion as he stared at Perseus, who wasn’t paying attention to him but to something else he couldn’t see.“Hey!” Archie yelled, teeth-gritting
Perseus sighed, running his hand through his hair. He had reunited with the rest, and they were in a car heading home.He had finally recruited the men and was planning to start a security business in the country, intending to expand it back to his birth country.After Archie agreed to work for his company, Perseus drafted a contract that everyone signed. As soon as he turned around, all the men Archie had wronged in the past lunged at him, and Perseus did nothing to stop them.[RING! You have completed the mission.][Although you didn't wipe out everyone as the system asked, you managed to shut down the company and stop all of its illegal dealings.][Rewards have been granted. You are now the owner of the company and can repurpose it for something else.]Iris tilted her head to the side. "Should I hire a bulldozer to demolish the building and let you use the land for something else?"Perseus thought for a while. If he could repurpose the company for his security business, it could wo
"I almost forgot, I'm starting a little business here before we leave," Perseus added."A business?" A curious look appeared on their faces.Gill walked over to the table and placed a plate of shrimp, while Pilly set down a glass of wine before retreating. Bill stood in the corner, eating from a plate."What business are we talking about here?" Sherry asked. "I can help with the business plan, choosing locations, and marketing.""I can assist with the structural organization," Eris muttered."I could invest in it," Zeppelin added. "I'm sure it'll be a success, so why don't I become a shareholder as soon as I can?""Me too," Ryan said. "I'd like to be a shareholder as well."A smile crossed Perseus' face at all the support he was receiving. "Okay. You can all help me."Lexi pouted, not having anything specific to offer. She was an officer, so she didn't have much to contribute outside of her law enforcement skills.Perseus noticed her expression and smiled. "The business I'm starting i
Perseus dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a tube of glue, which he tossed to Zeppelin. He had finally chosen someone to run the company in his absence. They had just finished the final touches on the employment flyer that would be used to recruit workers.“Should I pay for a billboard?” Perseus asked.“No!” they all chorused as soon as the words left his lips.“It’s easier to find someone that way,” Perseus claimed.“I know, but it would cost a lot in the city square,” Archie said.“We already have one billboard there, and it’s for clients,” Eris added. “If we want to find employees, we’ll have to find them ourselves. Our targets should be…”“Weaklings who are bullied and can’t stand up for themselves, or someone who has been treated unjustly at work,” Lexi interrupted, holding a file. “Of course, a female candidate is accepted too. Such a person would be serious about this job, knowing they have strong men here to protect them. If it’s someone who lost their job unjustly, t
[4 minutes, 30 seconds left.] Iris announced as Perseus dashed to the room where the tracking device indicated Sherry was.Using his speed at maximum, Perseus sped towards the door, kicking it open and stepping into the room. With his hand in his pocket and a hard look on his face, he glared at the men whose heads snapped towards the door to look at him.[You got here in time. A reward has been granted, increasing your attributes and combat skills.]Sherry glanced at the door, her eyes filled with tears streaming down her cheeks. Perseus' eyes darted to her, and he saw the bruises on both her cheeks, making him even more furious.“What the hell?” one of the men yelled as Perseus stepped closer.His aura terrified them, alongside the hard look he was giving them. The men trembled, their legs weakening under his intense gaze. It was so suffocating to look at him that they forgot to breathe.“How dare you?!” Perseus demanded. His cold voice sent some men falling on their butts in fear. “
Jass grinned widely when he realized Perseus had known he was the real leader.The other men in the room flinched. They were terrified; they knew the other man they claimed to be the leader was just an acting leader. They never knew the real leader was among them, pretending to be the weakest.“Now that you've discovered my identity and said it in front of everyone, I can't let you live,” Jass declared.Perseus tilted his head to the side. “Weren't you the one who peed all over himself when you saw me punch one of your men?”Jass shrugged shamelessly. “I did that on purpose, and it wasn’t pee. It was just a liquid bag I left in my pants. Why the hell would I pee all over myself? You seemed to buy my act a few moments ago. Did she blab to you?”Sherry squeezed herself behind Perseus even more. Her heart was racing, but being close to Perseus made her calmer than before.“Now that I've found you,” Perseus mumbled, “aren’t you going to tell me why you kidnapped my fiancée? If you want so
Sherry spoke without thinking. “I want them to go to jail, and I also want to find the person who wants to take revenge on you by kidnapping me.”Perseus flicked the tip of her nose, and she winced.“What was that for?” Sherry demanded, rubbing her nose.Since Perseus suspected Seth, he saw no point in going after the person since he was leaving the country. “You say that like you’re strong enough to handle them.”She pouted. “You’re saying that because you’re not the one who gets kidnapped all the time.”Perseus arched an eyebrow. “I can’t be kidnapped.”“The ladies can.”“Lexi can’t, and it’s rare for Eris to be taken too. That’s why you’re the only one who’s been kidnapped all the time.”“I hate you!” she yelled.“Quite the opposite,” Perseus grinned.She pouted. “Well, I just wanted to do my livestream like I always do, but now I’ve missed my date with my fans. They must be mad at me.”“I’m sure they’re more worried about you,” he replied. Then he remembered he had lied to the lad
