The pool? Xell’s brows furrowed in confusion, and then terror hit him. He pictured them conspiring to take him to the pool and drown him there instead of killing him in the basement.It was easier to tell the cops that he drowned in the pool instead of that he was murdered.“Can we not go to the pool, please?” Xell pleaded terror arched on his face. “I can’t swim.”Perseus glanced at him.[He can swim, host. He thinks that you are going to drown him and kill him if he goes with you guys,] Iris revealed.“You can learn,” Perseus replied.*****On the way to the pool, Perseus got a call from his aunt. He answered the call in the car and sat in the back seat with Xell while Kara and Timtat sat upfront. Kara was behind the wheel, which she had fought for.“We got to the villa,” Gabrielle’s voice chimed from the phone, only Perseus hearing. “Where are you? Did you travel too? And what about Timtat? Is he okay? We were unable to get to him.”“He is with me,” Perseus replied. “You have nothi
“Calm down,” Perseus mumbled, holding her tight as she tried to push on his arm and break free.If he hadn’t caught her, she would have attacked the man and beat the hell out of him.“Let me go! How dare he add me to his lame bet? Did he think a woman was a material that could be traded? Is he dating a woman and having the mentality that he has the right to give her up like that?” Kara was furious, and it showed.Perseus still refused to let her go even after what she said. She struggled to break free again, but it didn’t work, and she finally gave up.“Is she that feisty?” the man asked. “I like taming feisty women and making them submissive.”Perseus’s eyes darted to the man. The man licked his lips while looking at Kara like she was a snack, and that irritated Perseus.“What do you say?” the man questioned. “Are you playing the game or not? You will take the money and other valuables if you win, but if you fail, I will have the woman.”The man had a smirk on his face. His head was

At the mention of the word "GO," Samll threw himself into the water and began swimming as fast as he could. Perseus, on the other hand, took his time before diving into the water.The cool water touched his skin as he opened his eyes and began swimming. Samll's hand was visible as he swam.Perseus, on the other hand, swam down to the floor, almost invisible to the people watching him. Iris was next to him, having changed into a swimsuit, and was swimming right beside him.Samll had a grin on his face and, in a few minutes, he couldn't stop thinking about how he'd have Kara all to himself after the contest was over.Finally reaching the end, he pulled his head out of the water, his grin widening as he glanced back in Perseus' direction to see if he was still there.To his surprise, Perseus was nowhere to be seen. The water was empty, and there was no one swimming nearby. A confused look crossed his face as he wondered if Perseus had been so terrible at swimming that he drowned.Then he
The next day was rough. The day before, Perseus had no choice but to return to the restaurant to drop off Kara and the others. The camera had been disabled, and Xell continued his work. However, Kara clarified that she wouldn’t treat him as she did before; he was more like an outcast now. The entire discussion left him dizzy, and when he finally got home, he was met with a barrage of questions from his family. They asked why his principal had come for them and who the people supporting Timtat were. Perseus sacrificed hours of sleep to explain everything in detail, ruining his chances of getting Iris to analyze and figure out how to separate him from Lint. Now, it was morning, and he felt like a living zombie. He stood in front of the members of his company and other shareholders. This meeting should have been held long ago but hadn't because he wasn’t around. Vince and Adrianna had literally dragged him to the company. They pulled him out of bed, Vince forced him into the shower
Perseus glared at Iris. He could have rejected the offer to join the other gamers at the event, but the system left him no choice. He wasn’t interested in the reward; the punishment alone was enough to force him into it.[You also have to call Eris and get them all back here. She’ll help you prepare for the event. This isn’t like the fight she did before,] Iris reminded him.Perseus turned his gaze to Bobby. “Eris will be back before the event. I’ll call her now to get ready to return.”A smile crossed Bobby’s face, relieved that Perseus had overlooked his earlier remarks.“That’s great,” Bobby said excitedly. “I’ll contact the other side and let them know we’re participating. This could also be a good time to advertise the game you made with Eris.”“We’re not done with the game yet,” Perseus replied. “I can’t advertise something that isn’t finished.”Bobby shook his head. “You can continue developing the game while advertising it. By the time it’s ready, there will be a ton of people
“Is he okay?” Zeppelin asked the doctor as soon as he finished examining Perseus.The doctor looked at Zeppelin, then at Ryan, his eyebrows raised. He eyed the men who had rushed Perseus to the hospital, panic evident in their expressions.They had brought Perseus in as if it were a life-threatening emergency.The doctor recalled how Zeppelin had snarled at him, demanding immediate attention for Perseus or threatening to have his license revoked.“Can I ask why your friend was rushed to the hospital?” the doctor inquired.“He’s our brother,” Zeppelin and Ryan corrected in unison.The doctor held up a hand. “Alright. Now, can I get an answer to my question?”Zeppelin took a deep breath to stay calm. He was desperate to know if Perseus was alright, but the doctor seemed intent on getting his answer first.“He collapsed,” Zeppelin replied. “We were talking to him, and he just collapsed.”“Collapsed while standing?” the doctor asked.“Yes,” Zeppelin confirmed. “So, is he alright now?”The
Perseus' eyes widened in disbelief as he saw the panel in front of him. Sherry had been selected as the second spouse, but he had no idea how that had happened.[Your blood has been mixed with hers, and she has become your partner too,] Iris explained. [I think you’re going to have a harem whether you like it or not.]Perseus frowned. ‘I'm so bad at loving having a harem. Besides, I can't say if I love them or not. I like them all the same.’[I know that. But where’s the choice in that?]“Are you listening to me?” Sherry bellowed, her voice snapping him back to reality. “I told you to pick only me, is that so hard?”Glancing at her, Perseus showed no emotion. He managed to pull her hand from his collar and peered at her intently.“I’m sorry,” he apologized. “I can't speak for them. You’ve already given the others a reason to agree to the harem. If you hadn’t shown that you were okay with it, they would have backed away when they heard I had a fiancée.”“Isn't there anyone you like the
