Perseus' gaze was focused on the screen, and then he noticed that the livestream had begun. Comments were already flooding in about him being a chef and a gamer at the same time.“You need to focus on the game, not the comments. Press the start button when I count to 3. Got it?"Perseus and Jeremy nodded their heads in agreement.[Since you chose the weakest model, we will have no choice but to play the game differently.]“No need,” Perseus murmured confidently. “I already know where everything is.”“Starting in three, two, one, now."Both pressed start, and Perseus moved his character immediately. He aimed to find the map first.”[The model Hiro could teleport.]Perseus grinned. “Did you forget that Alia can mask her scent and hide herself from attack?”“As long as I can stay away from Hiro and don't go into combat with him, I am safe.”It was not like that matter; he would see the attack beforehand anyway.Alia, the Perseus model, made her way towards where the map that led to her b
Ethan was surprised by how quickly the game had ended. "What happened? Why did the game end so fast?" he asked.Perseus tilted his head to the side. "I won?" he said, raising his eyebrows. "Who's next?"Eris cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention. "The next person can go next; the second game will be starting soon."Perseus put his headphones back on and waited for the next contestants to get ready. Ethan, on the other hand, tried to convince himself that Perseus had just gotten lucky.Perseus had a smile on his face as he defeated the second contestant. He did the same for all the others until only Ethan was left.He raised his head to look at Ethan. "Are you going to play with me now?"Ethan's jaw tightened, and his legs felt like jelly with fear. "No, I didn't say I was going to play today. Remember, we have a duel."Perseus realized what was happening, and Ethan was terrified that he was going to lose. A grin spread across Perseus's face."I understand that you might be
Perseus ran past Nick without sparing him a glance. Startled, Nick wanted to call out to Perseus, but then Eris ran past him too. “Perseus, wait up!” Eris yelled out. Perseus wasn't stopping; he got out of the cafe and glanced around for any means of transportation. “Is Sherry okay?” [A 30%] “Has she been caught?” [88%] “Is she in danger?” [100%] “How high is the danger stake?" [90%] Shit! Perseus cursed when he couldn't find anything that could be used as a means of transportation. He bit his lips. “What's her location?” [The location will be shown on the panel next to you.] [One point per minute.] Perseus glanced at the panel before he began running in the direction Sherry was going. Eris, who had just run out of the cafe, glanced around before running after him. “Iris, is there a way to speed up my movements?” Perseus demanded. [Yes, you can be lucky to get the speed booster if you draw the lottery.] Perseus was still running as he controlled the p
“Like I said, she isn't my girlfriend,” Perseus replied, his eyes searching the place.[There is a stairway behind the building; you can get to the top of the building that way.]The man still couldn't believe what he was hearing. “Aren't you going to save her?”Perseus shook his head. “No, you can cut the rope and let her fall off. It has nothing to do with me.”The man's jaw dropped as Perseus turned away and headed off.[Are you sure of what you are doing?]Perseus wasn't; he was just trying to cause confusion or make the man let go of Sherry.“What's the danger rate now?”[70%][What are you going to do?]“You said that there was a stairway behind that building, right?"[Yes.]Perseus knew that even if he gave the recipe to them, they wouldn't let Sherry go, but delaying the given time was going to make them hold on for a while.He frowned as he tried to figure out what to do.“Let's use the stairs; with my current speed, I can get Sherry out of there.”The first thing Perseus did
Perseus turned his head to look at her. It was Sherry; why did she slap him?“How could you say that to the killer?! You made me think that you were going to abandon me, and then you almost had yourself killed because of me!” Sherry bellowed.“I was so scared up there; I was so scared!” Her body trembled.Perseus' gaze fell. “I'm sorry, Sherry; it was all my fault.”“I thought you chose your recipe instead of mine, and I figured that I haven't been helpful to you at all.” She broke into sobs.“What are you talking about?” Perseus asked, his brows furrowed in confusion.She raised her head to look at him. “People keep useful people, don't they? If you are no longer useful, they will let you go like trash that is no longer needed.”“What?” Perseus blinked, utterly confused.“My grandpa stopped taking care of me because I am not supportive of the family. He stopped liking me and also cut off my allowance; he made sure that I was only used when he wanted to help Eris.” Her sob hardened. “
“Mr. Damon, we lost sight of the kidnapper. It was like he wasn't even there.” Lexi walked up to them.Perseus's gaze turned to Lexi; she had her eyes on him with a worried look on her face. He already guessed that they wouldn't catch the man.“I know who he works for,” Perseus muttered. “However, I don't know if you will believe me.”Lexi wanted to tell him that she wouldn't work for him, but remembering that Mr. Logan had his back, she nodded.“I'm willing to help any way I can,” she replied.“Good,” Perseus muttered. He didn't want to tell her that it was Roman, but he knew the Sullivans might have ears at the station. “I will give my contact details to you; I will text you when you are alone about it.”Lexi's brow is furrowed. “Are you getting my contacts indirectly?”Perseus shook his head. “No, I am going to collect it because you need my help to get the killer.”Lexi poked him in the chest with her index finger, a frown appearing on her face. “It is the other day around; you ne
[I understand that you wanted to save her because it was your fault!][They don't mean that you would give up your life to save her.] [Did you think that even if you saved her, the killer wouldn't come after her?!][Also, I have to punish you.]Perseus backed away. “For what?” He could accept the scolding, but he didn't want the punishment.[For giving up your life, I just came, and you are already thinking about dying!]“I wasn't, I swear."[How did you expect me to believe that?!][You also made me lose a lot of energy, and now I have to regain energy!]Perseus opened his lips to speak, but the electric current hit him. This time, it was harder than it had been at the station. By that time she let go of him, Perseus's eyes were blurry, and he was finding it difficult to stand.[This would teach you not to give up your life next time. Hmph!]It took several minutes for Perseus to regain his senses; by then, Iris was already sitting on his head with a glass of cappuccino.[How do you
His high-pitched scream alerted Eris and Sherry, who were cooking in the kitchen. Eris was the first to turn off the gas and dash out of that kitchen; Sherry followed suit.At the same time, Perseus was about to open the door to get out when the ugly lady caught him by the arm.Perseus pulled his grip from the lady, and without thinking, he shoved her off of him, and that made her collide with the floor.[Your marriage is about to start.] Iris burst out laughing at Perseus's misfortune.[Don't tell me you are running from your bride! Hehe!][The punishment is for you to get married to her; that's the penalty for failing the mission.]Perseus raised his head to glare at Iris; she had a wide grin on her face as she watched him.“Baby, it's our wedding day.” The lady purred as she slowly stood up. “Don't you want to get married to me?"Perseus knew it was time for him to leave. He grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door open, but it wouldn't bulge.Eyes widening, he dashed for the bathr
