Nathaniel stared at him blankly. “What?”Perseus raised a brow. “What does it look like? I'm here to offer you a huge deal.”“And that is?” Nathaniel was curious.“I want you to work for me, for the Perseus Empire.”Nathaniel's eyes widened in surprise, and Perseus frowned. That was not the reaction he had been expecting. He anticipated Nathaniel to be outraged, not stunned.He expected Nathaniel to scream at him for attempting to poach him from such a large restaurant to a smaller one.Mr. Ronald's face was twisted with anger. “How dare you! How dare you come here to steal my employee?!”Perseus glanced at Mr. Ronald. “Well, you old geezer, shut up first and let me speak.”That only fueled Mr. Ronald's anger. “How dare you! You're just a beginner in this business, and you want to overthrow your superiors!”Perseus' eyes darkened before he squinted. “Do you regard yourself as my superior? You old, round, fat, worthless old man.”Mr. Ronald gritted his teeth. “How dare you call me that
Mr. Ronald went stiff like a rock at the mention of the lawyer's name. It was then that he realized that he was doomed.Perseus took the initiative to walk out of the office with Nathaniel. By the time they got outside, he had released Nathaniel's hand.“Have you made up your mind?” Perseus asked, his hand tugging into his pocket as he walked forward.“About what?” Nathaniel followed him.Perseus was about to speak when they were surrounded by many thugs. They had weapons on their hands and an evil grin on their faces.Perseus blocked Nathaniel with his body and glared at the men in front of him. “What do you want?”“Is this the idiot that the boss asked us to get rid of?” One of the thugs inquired.“It is him. I was surprised when the boss asked us to come here. Tch! I thought I was going after a stronger opponent, but it turns out he is a trash can.”“Tsk, I am so disappointed.” Another said, a scowl on his face.Perseus backed away from them as they approached him. “Who is this bos
Perseus glanced back at Nathaniel. If Nathaniel could leave now, the chances of him getting Nathaniel to work for him were going to be low.[That's right! A 100%]“Where do you think you are going?” Roman asked. “Since you are a friend of his, you are already involved.”“I am not a friend of his, and I have no issues with you. If you wouldn't mind, I am going to take my leave.”Perseus stared at the panel; there were only three minutes left. He thought about what to do for a while before coming up with a conclusion.He couldn't let Nathaniel leave.“How much do you weigh?” Perseus demanded.“What?” Nat was taken aback by the question. “Just answer me!”“I don't know how much I weigh.”Before anyone could blink, Perseus scooped Nat like a sack of potatoes and threw him over his shoulder. Nat's face reddened in embarrassment as he tried to let Perseus release him.However, with his cheetah's speed, Perseus made a run for it. His speed surprised Roman and his men.“Get him!” Roman yelle
“Attack! All of you!"Those words didn't scare Perseus; he stood still as they attacked him. Ducking out of the way of the first person to get to him. He used his speed; he was so fast that they didn't see his fist move.THUD!The strongest of them went flying, and his back collided with the wall. The others paused and glanced at the strongest with wide eyes.Catching the fightman by his hand, he twisted the man's hand, earning a scream from him.Perseus didn't stop there, and in two minutes, all the men were lying on the floor unconscious, except Roman.He wiped the back of his hand with a handkerchief that he had gotten from one of the men's pockets. At the same time, his gaze trailed around the men he had just taken down.He couldn't help but wonder if he had used too much strength on them.“Don't come any closer!” Roman yelled, trembling, as soon as Perseus headed in his direction.A wide grin appeared on Perseus' face as he got to Rome and squatted. “I thought you wanted to fight
Perseus opened the door and walked in, his shoulders slumping as he made his way upstairs.Mr. Logan was not an easy person to deal with. Preseus remembered how Mr. Logan rejected Timtat.“What're you saying, Mr. Damon? Timtat is a good bodyguard, and he would protect you! Do you know how hard it is to find someone like you to pay me that sum of money?!”“Timtat would ensure your safety and deal with anyone that tries to hurt you! If you don't want him following you everywhere, he can at least stay hidden to protect you when necessary."Perseus frowned as he brushed her words off his head. He looked like he wanted to cry; he hated being followed by anyone.What kind of parents would even name their child Timtat?Now that he was stuck with Timtat, Mr. Logan beat me at the argument. So much for a lawyer.He stared at the living room; none of the ladies were there. His stomach grumbled, and he headed for the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.As he walked past the dining room,
Sherry was downstairs; she hesitated to try the food she had made. She sat in front of the bowl of porridge and glanced at it like it was a movie.Was it the porridge that made him run like that?She shook her head and tried convincing herself that the porridge tasted so good.“What are you doing?” Perseus asked after changing into something different.She spun around to look at him. She pouted as she turned her gaze back to the porridge.“The porridge doesn't taste good, does it?” She inquired before glaring at him.Perseus, who was standing 2cm from her, furrowed his brows, but he sighed.“If you could learn better, I am sure that you would be able to cook delicious food.” He said it honestly.She took a step closer to him. “So that means these are not delicious.’’“Yup."He thought that she was going to be offended; he braced himself for her to yell at him, but it didn't come.He stared at her; she looked confused.“I added the ingredients as I was instructed. What could go wrong?”
Perseus stared at her in silence as she stared back at him.“It's about the games," she clarified.“When did you come back?” He inquired as he stepped out of his room.He dug his hand into his pocket as he began walking towards the living room. She followed him.“Just now.” She replied. “I got a call from Ethan; he said that he wasn't going to participate in the duel anymore.”Perseus wasn't surprised; he knew that Ethan was going to back out.“I already knew it,” Perseus said. “However, I am more worried about how I am going to be the top three gamer in five hours. Do you know if it is possible?"Eris peered at him. “Yes.”“How does it work?” Perseus asked.“It goes this way: you are going to sign up in the gaming industry as a gamer. I am the top gamer; I am going to be the one to conduct the test, and it should be live-streamed.Depending on your period after the game, your rank would be given an hour after the game. If you want to get the identity in five hours, you have to win th
Two days later.Perseus' hand was in his pocket as he made his way into the school building. Eris and Sherry had left earlier, and he was left alone.He sighed. He wanted to skip his classes, but he remembered that there was nothing to skip the class for.“Hey! School Mad Horse Loser!" A voice barked, catching Perseus's attention.That voice! Perseus dreaded the day he was going to meet him again.Perseus stared at the direction the voice had come from. Standing there were the school bully and his minions. Memories flashed in Perseus' eyes as his eyes met the school bully's.The dude was called Nick; he had always bullied Perseus from junior high to high school. Perseus made sure to avoid Nick, using every chance that he got.“Look what we found!” Another chuckled. “Heard you were dating Sherry; who do you think you are?”Perseus's brows furrowed; if it was in the past that they stared at him like that, His legs would have crumbled in fright. This time, the only thing he felt was rage
