Lexi nodded her head. “Yes, the evidence is a weapon against him. He can't be let out for an attempted murder, but the Sullivans are sure going to pull some tricks.”“Can I take it to court?’’ Perseus inquired. “If it is possible, I would like to get it done as soon as possible.”Lexi smiled at him. “Sure, I will speak to Mr. Logan about it. He had been trying to get stains on the Sullivan.”Perseus rose to his feet, the plate of food untouched. “Thanks for looking out for me, Lexi; it's a pleasure knowing that someone cares about me.”“What do you mean?” She pouted. “I am a sheriff, and it is my job to protect the citizens.”He grinned at her. “Why don't you pay for a citizen's breakfast then?” She scowled at him. “It is your restaurant! Why do I have to pay?!”However, Perseus was already joking outside the restaurant without looking back at her. He had only an hour left before class.Later,Perseus was done running and was opening the door to the villa when his phone buzzed. He ch
“The answer is correct!” Ms. Tisha announced. “The formula he used is that of advanced mathematics; that's why you are unable to recognize the steps.” Ms. Tisha was curious about how Perseus was able to solve the question.Others stared at Perseus as he headed for his seat. Tisha glared at the dude who had been talking. “Okay, you are expelled from this class for disrupting it.” Ms. Tisha said, her gaze fixed on the guy.“What? How is that possible?” The dude asked, disbelief written over his face.He pleaded and pleaded with her to let him stay, but in the end, it was worthless.After class, Perseus grabbed his hand and was heading for the door when Celia approached him. “What?” He gave her a cold stare.A few students' gazes were on them, and she knew it. “PERSEUS! I don't care if you still like me; I already told you several times that we have broken up.” She bellowed in order to get the attention of the students. “You don't have to frame my boyfriend and send him to jail becau
The stadium buzzed with anticipation as the championship basketball game tipped off. Fans filled every seat, their cheers echoing off the walls as the two teams clashed on the court. The stakes were high as both teams fought for first place. Perseus found Marcus glaring at him, and with a smirk, Marcus mouthed a word of warning. “Watch out for me.” From the opening tip, the game was intense. The ball zipped back and forth, with players sprinting up and down the court with lightning speed. Shots were fired, rebounds were battled for, and defenses tightened like vice grips.Marcus made his way towards the other teams, snatching the ball from them. He tossed it to the net, receiving praise from the fans.1-0.Marcus grinned at Perseus, who showed no emotion. Using his speed, Perseus snatched the ball and took the second shot, then the third, the fourth, the sixth, and then the seventh.The fans were roaring in admiration, each of them wondering who the new guy was since they hadn't se
“Here we are!” Zeppelin announced as he raised his glass for a toast. “We are here to welcome Perseus Damon to our team.”Perseus frowned. “I don't want that; I am a chef and a gamer. I can't be a basketball star either.”He raised his head to see the points adding up.Marcus, who sat across the table, grinned at Perseus. He had a bandage on his leg and a glass on his lips.“Perseus is right.” Marcus supported. “He is a chef and can't be a basketball player.” Perseus agreed with Marcus for once, although he knew what Marcus wanted. Marcus wanted him out of the team, and he was gladly going to use it to his advantage.“Marcus is right; I shouldn't be on the team.” Perseus took a sip from his glass. [RING!][New Mission Alert: Help Zeppelin win the rest of the games for the tournament.]Wait, what? Perseus arched his brows at the system. His face went pale, and Iris was smiling at him.[Duration: 2 weeks.][Rewards: 350 full stats points and 15000 points.][Punishment: Make you dumb o
"I did it by mistake; don't you see that he wasn't hurt?” Marcus' face twitched. “John would never leave like that! He promised, Do you think that Perseus is willing to join our team?” “He is willing,” Zeppelin replied. “He hasn't made up his mind yet.”Marcus bit his lips to stop his anger. “If he agrees, he is only going to be a substitute for John.”Matt, Jonas, and Zeppelinglared at Marcus at the same time. “Well, I agree to play the match.” Perseus suddenly spoke up, leaving Marcus stunned. Zeppelin smiled at him. “I knew you would agree to it.”Marcus' hand was tightening on the glass he was holding. “Although you agreed to play, that doesn't mean that I accepted you into the team. You are not welcomed by me.”Perseus nodded his head. “I'm fully aware.”[Host, are you annoying him on purpose?]'It's all your fault, but it's great since I am just a substitute for John.’ [You are going to be a great basketball player soon.] Your fame attracts more points and can help you get
“I am here; what do you want to talk about?” Perseus said as he peered at her.Celia gave him a pitiful look, her face filled with that of a locust flower. “Brother Perseus, can't you come in first?”Perseus retreated, his eyes widening in surprise. That was the first time he had seen Celia be so gentle.Iris was amazed too. [Host, are you sure that you met with the real Celia? And why is she calling you brother?]“Are you asking me? If you don't know, how would I know?” Perseus inquired. “Brother, we once dated; why are you being shy now?” She held his hand and began leading him inside. “Get off me!” Perseus shoved Celia as soon as her hand touched him. “Why are you calling me brother? We aren't related.” She bit her lips, the fake smile on her face threatening to break. “I'm sorry.”[Oh, I already saw through her fake smile.]Perseus glanced at Iris. “Is she trying to set me up?”[100%, you are being set up.]Perseus lips curled into a smile, and that frightened Iris.[What are y
As soon as Perseus fell over, Celia regretted her decision. She loomed over him, and when she realized that the drug had taken effect, she was devastated.“What do I have to do to stop the dreams?” She asked as she shook him. Her body was trembling, and Perseus was loving every bit of everything. [Wake up and complete your sentence.][Don't you see how scared she is?]“Not my business.” Perseus replied in a singing tone. “Iris, can you send a text to her?” [What text?]Perseus whispered the words to Iris, and she grinned with mischief. [Done, host.]Just then, a message popped into Celia's phone. She stared at the phone, her eyes widening as she saw who sent the message. She reached out to pick up the phone with trembling hands and read the message. “If you want to end your nightmare, make sure to save me all by yourself without the help of others. If you fail, you might die in dreams tonight.”The phone fell off her hands, and she let out a shriek. She clutched to herself in t
Tyler tossed Perseus at the back of his truck as soon as he got to it. Perseus' face slammed against the hard ground, and he forced himself not to groan.[Healing ability activated.]Perseus stayed in the same spot as the truck began moving. His body was fully healed now and didn't hurt anymore.[Host, have you made a plan?]“I don't have a plan,” Perseus said plainly.[How could you not have a plan?] Iris demanded.“I stink at making plans, okay? I just let things go as they come; it depends on where he is taking me.”I wonder how you are still alive without any plans. If it wasn't for me, I guess you didn't have any plans for your life.Perseus's brows twitched in anger. “I hate to admit it, but you are right. Now what's the plan?”Iris smiled at him. [Leave it to me.]The car pulled over in front of a warehouse, and Perseus rolled his eyes. Why do they often pick an abandoned warehouse all the time?He closed his eyes when Tyler came into view. Lifting Perseus on his shoulder, Tyle
