Seth chuckled at Timtat’s words. “You know you have no chance against me. You barely managed to dodge my attack. I called you fast because you managed to dodge my attack, and no one has done that in years.”Timtat sighed. “Why are you telling me that?”Seth shrugged. “I’m telling you because it’s been years since I had a great opponent who could withstand my attack. If you’re this strong, I wonder how strong Perseus must be now.”Timtat slowly moved one leg back and raised his hands into a perfect stance, fists tight, his gaze following Seth's every movement.“Oh, that’s a perfect stance,” Seth muttered. “What combat skill is that?”“I don’t think I have to tell you.”“Hmph.” Seth grinned widely. “Let’s see what that can do.”Seth lunged at him again, not aiming with his fist or leg, but simply running towards Timtat. When he reached him, Seth threw a punch at Timtat’s belly, which Timtat blocked with his palm.“Impressive,” Seth purred. “You managed to block this too, but what about
They all shook their heads. “No.” “Then, I will hire someone to cross you guys over to the other side,” Perseus said. After that call, Perseus bought the plane and hired the person. As he dressed up, he wondered how he was going to get there in two hours. If he used a plane, it would have been a six-hour journey. There was no way he would be able to get there fast enough, and he guessed Seth knew that too. Perseus ran his hands through his hair. “You said they could hold him for two hours. How can I get there in two hours?”[You run,] Lint replied.“Sounds good,” Perseus said before he realized what Lint had said. “What?! I what?!”[You run,] Lint repeated. [No means of transportation would get you there as fast as your two feet.]Perseus's brows furrowed. “How would I go across a country by running?”[You have speed, so it’s nothing for you,] Iris announced. [However, with your current speed, it would be impossible for you to get there in two hours. So are you willing to use all
Timtat stood his ground as a punch hit his face, sending him moving backward. He coughed and spit out blood, turning his gaze to Seth and wiping the blood from his chin with the back of his palm.Seth had a wide grin on his face. Timtat had been blocking his attacks for a long time, and this was the first hit that had gotten through. Seth admitted that Timtat was strong. Although Timtat was a pure human without the help of technology or advanced chemical substances, he was still formidable.According to Seth, Timtat was the strongest man he had come across who had worked hard to gain his power without using cheat sheets.“I like you,” Seth said, cracking his knuckles. “You don’t seem to know when to back down, and your loyalty to your cousin is admirable.”Timtat took another stance, this time, his fingers were not curled into a fist. He was trying to control the flow of blood in his body to stop his nose from bleeding.“I can’t say the same for you,” Timtat replied.“I know, right,”
“Open up the door,” the third man said, urgently knocking.Eriane glanced at the phone in her hand, comparing the man's face with the one Perseus had sent her. Seeing that it was a match, she opened the door.“You’re here,” she exclaimed, relief evident in her voice.Her parents followed suit, their gazes immediately landing on the intense fight between Seth and the other man outside.“What about Timtat?” Eriane questioned, her voice tinged with worry. “Is he alright?”The man didn’t give them the chance to ask any more questions. He swiftly lifted both mother and daughter onto his shoulders and dashed towards the helicopter. After placing them inside, he hurried back to grab Relic, ensuring the entire Damon family was safely aboard.Soon, all the Damons were in the helicopter, with the third man glancing at them one last time.“The helicopter will take you back to your country,” he informed them, “and you can stay at Perseus’s villa. He told me to tell you to get Rino and Leo as soon
“What are you doing?” a voice demanded. “Are you planning on killing them?”Seth's hand paused, and he glanced back. The person who had spoken was Perseus. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Perseus’s new appearance, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.“You're here?” Seth questioned. “You look different—how is that even possible?”Timtat stared at Perseus, his eyes wide in disbelief. At first, he hadn’t recognized him, but he quickly realized it was indeed Perseus. “Boss?” he asked.The remaining three faces brightened upon seeing him. They had thought it was the end for them, but he had shown up at the last moment.“It’s been a while, Perseus. Actually, I came here to meet you. Your parents didn’t take me lightly when I came. All they did was send their bodyguards after me.”Perseus’s brow rose. “You came here to find me? How did you find them? You could have found me if that’s what you wanted.”Seth glanced at the men he had beaten. “Are these your men?”“Yes, they a
Perseus’s fist tightened. All this while, he had seen his parents' killer and even spoken to him. His blood boiled with anger. Seth had watched him, smiled at him, talked to him, and cheered for him as if he had done nothing terrible.Seth grinned widely. “This one hurts, right? I heard you've been looking for me your whole life. Don’t worry, I’m right here.”Perseus trembled with rage. Seth had intentionally watched him and sent stalkers after him. When he couldn’t watch him from afar anymore, he got close and became his principal.“What happened to Principal William?” Perseus demanded. “Did you kill him too?”Seth folded his arms. “What do you think?”“I’m not joking!” Perseus bellowed. “What did you do to him? He was minding his business and being a principal.”“I thought he was going to tell you about the company,” Seth replied. “I thought he was going to give you information about the company and that you might go after my Lily, but damn, was I wrong. That old man told you nothin
Perseus and Timtat boarded the plane bound for Perseus’s home country. There were matters to settle with Xell, and he needed to find a safer place for his family. Despite Timtat’s injuries, the pill Perseus had given him had worked wonders, easing the pain considerably. Timtat sat by the window, staring out at the endless sky, lost in thought.Perseus’s hair remained stark white, his eyes still mismatched in color—one more side effect of his fusion with Lint that he hadn’t yet figured out how to undo.[You couldn't run back to the country because you exhausted your speed and energy,] Iris’s voice echoed in his mind.A panel appeared in front of him, displaying his depleted energy levels—0%. He’d only managed to get them on this plane by spending a small fortune. A little money which was three times the flight ticket. They had been lucky that he had a system to get their visas and passports.‘I won’t do that again,’*Perseus thought, rubbing the small of his back. ‘That speed took too
Perseus stared at the panel, reading the mission displayed on it. He turned to look at the entrance of the restaurant—there was no one there, and the only person in sight was Timtat, who was walking towards him.[Reward: 500 points and 50 full stats points.][Punishment: Cut off the little man.][Duration: An hour.]“Nathaniel?” he called out, noticing that it was Perseus who had arrived. “When did you get here? And your appearance... it’s different.”Perseus turned his gaze back to Nathaniel. “Yes, it’s me. Where are the others?”Perseus's appearance was still the same as when he had merged with Lint; they still hadn’t found a way to separate them.“Kara’s taking Orion to bed. He fell asleep since we couldn’t, all thanks to Xell.”“Where is Xell?”“He’s awake and in the basement. Kara brought him along with us.”Perseus's brows arched. Iris had given him a mission about a gang coming to his restaurant. If the gang hadn’t come from Xell, where else could they have come from?[They’re
