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
Perseus opened the live streaming app and went live, joining the duel with Sherry. Both their faces appeared on the viewers' screens.On the other hand, Sherry gasped at the sight of Perseus, her cheeks flushing. He looked just as handsome as before, if not more so."How handsome," Sherry muttered to herself. "When did he dye his hair?" She shook her head and began speaking to the growing audience.Back at the restaurant, Perseus watched Sherry as she engaged with the viewers. Several comments were popping up, and she was replying to them. Most of the questions were about his new look.A few recognized him, but others didn’t. Perseus noticed one of the comments: "Why does he look so different from before?""He got a new look," Sherry replied with a smile. "Isn’t he handsome?""He is handsome, Sherry," another comment read.[+10 points.]Perseus glanced at the panel indicating that points had been added. He sighed; he still needed to reach 500 points."What’s the second color of his ey
Perseus glanced at his phone screen, unsure of what to do. He considered asking them to send another space rocket to let one surpass the other, but he knew they would likely flood his screen with rockets, making it impossible to see anything else.Comments kept popping up, the view count rising and the points adding up. Perseus wanted nothing more than to leave the live stream, but he knew he had to stay.“Hello. All four of your rockets round up to the same number. You four can tell me what dish I should cook in my next livestream. I won’t be able to continue this one because I have a board meeting to attend…”“You are lying,” Iris cut him off, her brow furrowing in anger.“It’s just a white lie,” he told her. “Leave me alone.”“Hmph!”“You can send me a message on this platform and tell me the food you guys would love to see. Also, thanks again for the space rockets. Thanks to the viewers for watching. I have to go now. Bye!”He took one final glance at Sherry, who had a pained expr
