“Geez!” Perseus rubbed his face with his palm. “Why do I always have to deal with bitches like you?”
Sherry froze with her eyes glued to the screen. His friends looked like they had just been hit by a truck as they stared at the screen. “How…how…is that even possible?” Sherry demanded. “I thought you were poor; how come?” “That was a fake alert, right?” Laura demanded as her head snapped back in his direction. “It is impossible for you to have that amount of money.” Perseus let out a sigh. “I knew that you would doubt me.” He raised his head. “Waiter, can I get my bills?” The crowd began murmuring again. 'He is so confident, I doubt that he is poor, like Laura said.’ 'She is just jealous that her friend has a rich brother, unlike her, who has a bad brother.’ The words pierced Laura like a sword, and she guessed she still had a chance against him. “It seems that he made a fake transaction. If he would be able to pay for all of his bills, then I will do as he says.” “Bitch! You made a deal, and now you are going back on your words.” Sherry yelled at Laura. Perseus gripped her shoulder to stop her from speaking. “Don't worry, I am here.” The words seemed to give Sherry confidence because she nodded in agreement. A card was made from your points, and you have no points left. [You can find the card in your right pocket.] Perseus smiled as he dug his hand into his pocket. “Sir, your outstanding bills are fifteen million dollars in total.” The saleswoman informed him. “You all will see now that he has no money on him.” Laura muttered, and Sherry felt like digging a hand in her throat for saying that. Perseus handed his golden card to the lady. “Swipe it.” “What an asshole; you better give up.” The lady swiped the card. Laura was waiting for it to be rejected, but to her horror, the machine turned green. “PAYMENTS SUCCESSFUL!” Laura's jaw dropped in astonishment as she heard that. The lady who swiped the card handed Perseus his card back alongside a VIP card. “Since you made such a large purchase, you are now a VIP of the Freya-jo restaurant.” Perseus friends were sitting stiffly like statues, their mouths hanging open in shock at the unfolding events. Perseus took the cards. “Thank you.” “How is that possible?” Laura asked as her body shook. “You were poor yesterday, weren't you?” He brushed her off. “Don't worry about that; we made a deal, didn't we?” “You have to apologize!” Sherry snarled. “No way!" “Okay, I guess I have to do it the hard way then.” Perseus muttered. Before anyone could understand what was happening, the screen was already filled with embarrassing photos of Laura and her elder brother. The crowd began to murmur and throw curses at Laura. Not understanding what was happening, she glanced around until her gaze landed on the screen. “Everyone!” Perseus yelled. “Laura Smith had been having an affair with the man she called her brother, Jay Smith. She had been doing all sorts of things to him and had recorded it on her phone.” 'She is a bitch!’ A lady yelled. ‘'Who would have thought she would do such a thing?’ 'Disgusting.' 'A cunt that has an eye for her brother.’ ‘How much would it cost for a night?’ 'Can I pay $50 per night?’ Laura hurriedly tried to turn off her phone, but it wouldn't work. Turning her gaze back to Perseus, she glared at him. “Make it all stop!” Perseus eyes darkened. “Did you forget to kneel and call me Grandpa?” Dropping to her knees, she hung her head in embarrassment. “I already knelt down.” “Apologize to Sherry.” Perseus ordered. “I'm sorry.” She mumbled. “How loud was your voice when you were accusing her?!" “I am sorry.” Laura increased her voice. “I still can't hear you!” Perseus bellowed. “Do you want me to let the videos go viral online?” “No! You can't.” “Then apologize properly.” “I'm sorry, Sherry Kim!” Her voice was loud enough to reach everyone's ears. Tears leaked from the corner of her eyes as she tried to stop herself. “I am sorry for forcefully accusing you!” Sherry was too stunned to see Laura apologize. “You don't even say it like you mean it.” Laura's hand tightened in fury at her apologizing to Sherry. “Now all you have to do is call me Grandpa.” Perseus muttered. “And I will take off the video.” “Grandpa, I was wrong.” She yelled. “Sorry for saying all that stuff about you.” “Good girl.” Perseus muttered. “Now, can you ask for the video?” “Not yet.” Perseus ruffled his hair. “You have to pay ten million dollars for slandering me, or I will send the videos to the net.” “You went back on your words!” Laura snarled. “You did too; now do we have a deal?” Laura was crying in anger as she reached out to take her phone. This time the phone worked, and she transferred the money to him. “I already sent it; can you take it down now?” He looked at his phone for the alert, and a sneering smile of satisfaction crossed his face. He made the video disappear. “I took all of your life savings, Laura Smith; how are you going to feed now?” “You!” Laura yelled. Perseus asked for three hundred thousand dollars from the system and took it from his pocket. He threw the money in the air and pointed a finger at Laura. “Anyone who could slap her can take all of the money I threw to the ground,” Perseus announced. “Don't do this to me!” Laura yelled. “We already..." Before she could complete her sentence, her brother was the first to descend on her and begin slapping her. While the others hurried over to her. “Tobias, Orion, let's go!” His friends got off their seats and walked over to him. They all walked out of the restaurant, leaving Laura to her fate. Perseus was still holding Sherry; he wondered if he could give her another job, like being his stripper. He pictured her dancing in the clothes he got for her and began drooling. Just then, the electric current hit him, and his body vibrated in shock, including hers. [You PERVERT! I will make sure you die this time!]“What was that about?” Tobias inquired as soon as they got to the school compound. “Why do you have so much money?”“We know that you aren't rich.” Orion added. “How come you did that to Laura and wasted fifteen million today?”Orion and Tobias were pulling their hair in frustration as they glanced at Perseus, whose electric current had just stopped hitting him.[I let you go because I affected Sherry too.]Perseus frowned at the system and was about to lash out at it when Sherry grabbed his hand and peered at him.“Did you feel that?” She inquired.Pretending not to know what she was talking about. Perseus shook his head.“Feel what?”She released his arm. “Nothing.”“Oh, okay.”She clutched her hand tightly to her chest; she felt the current pass through her, and since he was holding her, She thought that he felt it too.Perseus raised a brow at her before staring at his friends, who were glaring at him. His eyes widened, and he wondered why they were glaring at him.“What?” He shru
Sherry frowned at the ladies who were pulling at her arm. Perseus, on the other hand, only stared at her.“Ma'am, what kind of villa do you want?"“I can show you the ones that you want."“As long as you are loaded with money, let me attend to you.”Sherry tried to pull her hand away from this grip. “Ladies wait!”The ladies ignored her, and they got into a serious argument. Seizing the opportunity, Sherry pulled away from their grip and hurried over to Perseus.“Master, I am sorry that they ignored you for me.” She apologized. “Do you want us to check somewhere else?”Perseus shook his head. “Okay.”Just as they were about to leave, another woman who hadn't been with the others that came to him before approached him.She had a bright smile on her face and didn't look like she was going to look down at him.“Sir, do you want to check out the pictures of the villas?”Perseus glanced back at the lady. "Sherry, it seems like we wouldn't have to leave anymore.”Perseus followed the lady t
Everyone's gaze was focused on the direction of the manager's office. The ladies' attention was on the spot and when the manager didn't come after the countdown. The ladies burst into a fist of laughter.“Who do you think you are?” One of the ladies scoffed. “The manager would be here.”Another mimicked Sherry's voice. “In three, two, one.”That made the ladies' laughter increase; they kept on laughing until tears were leaking through their eyes. Sherry's face reddened in anger, her gaze lingering in the direction of the manager's office.‘Hasn't he seen the livestream?’ She thought.“You are just a spoiled brat who thinks that everything works her way.”“I thought you said the CEO would be here; why isn't he here yet?”The snickers of the ladies furrowed Perseus' brows. He studied the reaction on Sherry's face; she had only wanted to help him, but she was getting insulted instead.She stood her ground with her head hanging high as she waited. Just a little more time, and they would s
Uncle? The word pierced through Perseus; he had never thought that Sherry did that to her own uncle's company because of him. Every other person's jaw dropped in astonishment at the revelation.Sherry sprinted towards the man, whom they called CEO Quinn. She had a bright smile on his face, and as he got to her, he stroked her head.“Why are you here?” He asked. “Why did you give my company such a bad review on the internet?"Sherry stepped back, her fingers clasping and unclasping, and she looked at him nervously. She never knew that her uncle owed LMM; she was a terrible niece. Now that he was here, she could turn the tables. An evil grin spread across her face.“They bullied me!” She turned around and pointed her fingers at the ladies alongside the manager.Fear crowded all of the people that she pointed her finger at. It was then that they realized that they had stepped on the tail of a tiger.The manager was the worst one of them; he fell to his knees. Clutching tightly to his hea
Sherry held his hand as they walked out of the company; her uncle was walking behind them. He had successfully purchased a villa, and the system panel was in front of him.[Current Amount: 54,700,000.][Missions: Important and Side.][Skills: 0]Perseus knew that if he wanted to stand against Roman in the future, he had to at least get a skill. Then he shifted the panel to check for any signs of getting a skill.He halted at the mission panel; the rewards of the mission were large. He was going to earn two skills, one ancient and one defense. He wondered what type of skills he was going to get.Now he wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible. However, he wonders what the system meant by his forming an alliance.Were the missions connected to each other, and he had to complete them all before he got the rewards?[They are connected, yes. Do you have to complete it all to get the rewards? No.]“So I have to take it one step at a time?” He inquired.Iris shook her head. [The mi
Perseus' eyes were rounded in shock; he wasn't expecting the system to reject him. He tried to regain his composure; he had heard about J.K. Entertainment a few times. It wasn't going to be hard for him to guess the name.His eyes scanned the place for any sign of the former president's picture with Mr. Kim, but there was none. Besides, he had no idea what the man looked like.[I can give you clues, and you can figure out the man's name yourself.]He peered at the system. “You think so?”Yes, I am only giving you clues. [You should be grateful and stop giving me that look.]He raised his brows. “What?”[Like you are going to strap the name out of me!]“Then give me the clues.” He shoved the system."Perseus, don't tell me you don't know the name of the former president of J.K. Entertainment.” Sherry muttered.He turned his head to look at her, slightly shaking his head in negativity. He watched as her eyes widened in surprise.“You don't know his name?” The old man inquired.Perseus sh
He glanced at the panel as it displayed the number of stat points that he had. He only had two stat points.[Don't give me that look!][You can exchange the stats points for knowledge.]There are a lot of books here; you can get them using your stats points. [Side note: Each book costs a total of 32 stat points for the start.]Perseus was not intrigued. “What kind of books are they?”[Medical books, gaming books, lifestreaming books, and computer books.][The rest of the books are locked until you get to Lvl 5.]Perseus arched his brows. “What do I have to do to get to level 5?”[I will inform you about it after you complete your third and fourth missions.]“Why can't you tell me?"[It's locked.]He shifted the panel, and through the system words, it was locked. Perseus frowned as Iris grinned at him before taking his position on his head after the panel disappeared.Perseus felt terrible; he had no idea how he could win the game when he had no gaming skills. He didn't have enough stat
Although Perseus was confused, since the system asked him to form an alliance with Quinn, Why was Mr. Kim the one talking about it?“My son is the one taking care of Eris; you are forming an alliance with him. In order for us to support each other, you have to get engaged to one of my granddaughters, and that is Sherry.”Here it comes; it wasn't surprising to him anymore.“I accept the engagement.” Perseus said it without second thought.However, when he glanced at Sherry, she wasn't looking too good. She had a huge frown on her face; she looked like she was going to burst out crying any moment.She rose to her feet and slammed her fist against the table. “I refuse!” She bellowed, startling everyone in the room. “I can't get engaged just to form an alliance! Grandfather, you know how to keep favorites and put me in the dark! I am not getting married to him for Eris sake; she can go to hell for all I care."Perseus was shocked; now the Kim's were kind of complicated. He shrugged, remin
