[We are close to the building now.] Iris floated above his head before landing in front of the car glass.“I can see that,” Perseus responded, looking at the rearview mirror to see if someone was following him.[You don't have a plan again! Heading to someone's house to fight him is sometimes suicide.]Perseus arched his brow. “You mean there might be hidden traps and things I have no idea about? I thought so too.”[And you are still heading in?] Iris turned around to look at him.He nodded his head before driving past Calton Darius's gate. The gate was large and black, and there were vines all over it.If Perseus couldn't see the inside and the bright light coming from inside, He might think that the building was empty.[Are you driving past it?] Iris demanded. [Do you need anything?]Perseus shook his head.[Then what?]“Stopping the car in front of the gate is going to attract attention. Like you said, I have no idea what's in there,” Perseus began.[Right.]“So, I have to sneak in
Calton heard the sounds of footsteps leaving the door. He was sitting on a large chair at the edge of the room, next to the window.There were ten men standing in front of the door, their eyes glued to the screen that was in front of them.The screen was connected to the cameras around the house, making him able to see the rest of the house. He watched the intruder in his house walk back away from the door.“As soon as he enters, knock the shit out of him!” he ordered.The men nodded their heads in agreement. Calton returned his gaze to the screen, his mind skipping a beat when he couldn't find the intruder.In his state of panic, the front door burst open. His men were sent flying as something invisible attacked them. Calton rose to his feet as fast as he could.Since he couldn't see what it was, he tried to get to the door before he was spotted.On the other hand, Perseus grabbed the last man by his collar, and the invisible coat was deactivated. Seeing that he couldn't get past the
Sherry rolled her eyes as her cousin tried to deny the fact that she had been worried about Perseus. “I was only checking up on him; didn't you see the news? The serial killers have been caught, and the cops claimed a good citizen did it.” Eris announced, purpose lingering in her voice as she changed the topic of discussion. Sherry's head tilted to the side. “I never heard of the serial killers, though; when did they start?”Eris raised three fingers. “Three years ago, but can you guess what is more shocking?” Sherry shook her head. “Celia was part of them; she was arrested by the cops. However, the cops also think that she might be a victim too.” Perseus wondered how Eris got to know all that happened that night. He was slightly grateful for the fact that she had no idea he was involved in it.“How do you know that?” Sherry asked. Eris showed no emotion. “I listened to the news, and I also asked Harrison for the details of what happened.” “Who is Harrison?” Perseus inquired, a
Perseus walked into the station with his hands in his pockets. His eyes scanned the environment for Lexi, but she was nowhere in sight.“How may I help you?” A sheriff behind the desk inquired. “I have an appointment with Lexi; can I see her?” “She is currently not available.” The woman responded. “You might want to sit and wait for her.” Perseus didn't like the idea. “Can I know where she went?”The woman shook her head. “It's a secret mission, sir; if you are having any difficulties, I can help.”Perseus sighed, turned around, and walked out of the station. He couldn't help but wonder where Lexi went.He took out his phone and texted her, but she didn't reply. “Iris, track down the location of Lexi.” He ordered.[Tracking…one point per minute.]It didn't take time for the panel to float next to him. Perseus headed for his car and began driving towards the location. [I might want to add that the target seems to be in danger.]Perseus' eyes widened in shock, and his feet slammed
“How many minutes are left for the bomb to go off, Iris?” Perseus asked, torn between the two paths. [Six minutes.]Six minutes? That wasn't enough time for him to find the bomb, not to mention stop it. “Track the bomb for me, Iris.”[Tracking the bomb, 3 clockwise directions east.]The others had gone the opposite way; he knew that they had split up. He dashed in the east direction, his eyes scanning everywhere for the bomb. He got to the spot where the bomb was planted, and he glanced around the place. When he found the bomb, the timer had only three minutes left.He bent over the table that the bomb was strapped to and peered at it. His jaw flexed as he thought of what to do. “Iris, how do I dismantle that bomb?”Iris showed no emotion. [You have to figure it out yourself.]The timer on the bomb ticked away, and every second felt like an eternity. He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm and focused. His eyes darted around the device, looking for a way to disable it without t
“What were you thinking? Risking everyone's life like that?” Perseus demanded. “Everyone’s life was already in danger.” She retorted. “What if I failed?”“You wouldn't fail.”“How are you so sure about that?” She peered at him. “You caught all the serial killers all by yourself. You would also be able to diffuse a bomb, and your ex-girlfriend was a serial killer.”When Perseus said nothing, she went on. “I checked you out; I found no information about your parents. It was like if they didn't exist, I only found a photo of them.” She was saying. “A photo?” Perseus was intrigued. “Can I see it?” She glared at him. “Not so fast, dick face. Can you answer my question first?”“I am not a secret agent, and I am also not from a martial arts family either,” Perseus responded, knowing fully well that if he said nothing, she wasn't going to give up.“Then, who are you?” “A college student.” He repeated, raising his hand to grab her hand. “If you keep on holding me, I might sue you for se
The man shoved the older woman, causing her to stagger backward, her hands flailing for balance.“A mistake!” He bellowed. “Does your apology buy me a new shirt?!”The woman flinched, although the man's words embarrassed her. She managed to keep her composure. She was used to being spoken to like that.“I can help with the laundry on your shirt if you don't mind,” she muttered softly. “How dare you?!” He yelled. “What made you think I would let you touch my shirt?! It is worth more than your family together.”Despite his harsh remarks, the woman was ready to apologize. “I'm sorry about your shirt; what can I do to make amends?” Her voice trembled slightly, betraying her anxiety. Hearing this, the man's lips curled into a smile. “What can you do? Well, I will let you off only if you kneel and apologize to me.” The woman's eyes widened in disbelief. “What?”“You said that you were going to do whatever I wanted. Kneel and apologize, and I will let you off.”The woman hesitated.“Why
Perseus stared at his aunt, who was acting like a teenager. He sometimes wonders if she was a teenager trapped in the body of an adult.“I'm glad you like it, Aunt,” Perseus muttered, knowing fully well that he was going to be questioned half to death when they got out of the public eye.The nurses, who had previously ignored Gabrielle, exchanged frowns as they watched Perseus walk away with his aunt."If I knew he was wealthy, I would've helped his aunt and earned his favor," one nurse murmured regretfully."You ruined our chance! If you hadn't reminded me about risking our jobs, I would be with him now!" Another nurse lamented, her determination shining through despite the missed opportunity. "I must marry into wealth, and I won't rest until he's mine!""You said the same thing when you saw the Gold Herald," a third nurse pointed out.The second nurse glared at her. "Not until I saw him. Just watch—I'll be his wife one day!"Perseus, having just entered his uncle's ward, sneezed for
