“You dare to talk back,” Lincoln said, raising his voice “We had a deal, you said you wouldn’t break the promise,” David said, a bit agitated yet his voice was calm. “I don’t like your tone, plus, we had agreed, haven’t we?” Lincoln said now smiling as he held the stick trying his best to stand up “She’s safe David, I’m on standby” David heard from the telecom, now feeling assured.Lincoln stood up and walked into the pathway “Bring her out!!” He yelled as the men came with a young girl in their arms, she was now pale “Ellen!!” David yelled as he saw only a glimpse of her gloomy face.Rushing over to hold her, “Weren’t you feeding her? She looks too pale” David said as her face was covered with her hair, her ash brown had hair become dry, her lips scaling because of how dry they were from lack of water.“I’d have her put in a hospital as quickly as I can if I were you” Lincoln voiced, interrupting the family reunion, heeding to him, David rushed, Ellen in his arms, her breathing was

The place was quite dark, it had an eerie vibe, the man walked in shivering in fear, and even when he tried to cover it, his body began to sweat profusely as his head turned around and was abruptly stopped by a voice.“Any news?” The man asked in a deep masculine tone, his face not visible to the scared man “It.. seems your plan worked… Allen Scott is.. dead” the man said in a shaky voice, it was rather too obvious that he didn’t want to be there.“Really? Was his body retrieved?” The voice asked once again now approaching the man “N.. yes, yes it was.. it was burnt badly” the man answered, his hands clasped together “I see.. so Allen wasn’t as tough as I thought” he said now coming to the small ray of light coming from a high window above “I’m the strongest system user, aren’t I?” He asked the man.“Yes.. yes you are,” the man said trembling with fear as he saw William’s face in the light, his left eye with a scar “His dagger did this to me, and if I wasn’t fast enough he almost had

The scent of lavender and a strong masculine perfume filled the air, the ladies were in awe as they saw the reason for such a beautiful scent, their eyes watching the young man walk down with his head held high.There was a distant chatter between the women and men around “The new manager looks enticing, only a month of work and he’s this dashing” a lady said, her hands over her mouth as though covering three pieces of information from reaching the ears of others.“Do you think he has a woman?” Another asked, her face reddening from smiling too much “Of course he does, don’t ever ask that, he’s Mr Grey’s granddaughter’s boyfriend because he’s so beautiful but.. his scent fills the air, I think I need his scent as my oxygen” Another said, fawning completely over him.He walked into an office, closing the door behind him, the room was quite dark, the blinds were still down, and the desk had an emblem that read ‘Arnold Norton’ and below ‘Supervising Manger’ he quickly took his black tuxe

Ellen’s eyes had opened only just a little, she struggled to try to sit up in the absence of anyone beside her, as just then she saw her cousin, David look from the doorway, and he rushed to her side.“Nurse!!” He called out as he stood by her side holding her hand “I’m so glad you’re safe” he muttered as he saw her weak hands on the hospital bed and in his hands. “I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you” he added.“We..when will I be... discharged?” Ellen asked in a frail voice, her hands still weak and somewhat helpless “Don’t worry about that, I’ll have you out as soon as possible” David answered, a smile forming on his lips.It was already a bit dark, David had succeeded in proceeding with the discharge form and was now free to take her home. “Are you both set to go?” The young nurse asked “Yeah, thank you so much for your help, I truly am grateful to you” David answered smiling.He walked outside the hospital, Ellen being supported by his firm hands, he stepped outside,

The cold morning felt like it would last forever, it was foggy and it hadn’t poured yet, although it seemed that it would. Allen looked at the window, his eyes staring blankly at the morning sky as though he was looking for something. Feeling energetic, he leaped out of bed, staring at the wall clock “It’s 6 am on the dot” Allen said before getting into his routine.He went in for a shower, and he only had baths after a long day at work, so after taking his shower, he did the bare minimum for his routine ‘Daily quests confirmed’ The system read “Yes” Allen accepted. His daily quests included having to do more than a thousand push-ups, a minimum amount of 300 crunches, and then proceeding for a mile run. Allen had never thought that these daily quests would shape him into the killing machine he had become after the incident with his sister.After finishing his routine, the time had gotten to 8 am, it was time to clock in at work. Having to work at Grey’s Enterprises made him happy, an

David felt too grateful to his savior, remembering how had tried to initiate a conversation and how it ended as a complete bust, he felt dejected. Cooking lunch for his sister required that he would be the best cook, as he thought to himself, so hastily, he made the spaghetti and meatballs as best as he could.“Smells good, doesn’t it?” David said, smiling as he looked at Ellen who was already sitting by the table waiting for the meal to be served. “Yeah,” she answered with all her might. Ellen had been very weak for the time she stayed at the house after the incident. “You should have spicy spaghetti and meatballs, I’m glad you like it” David answered as her caretaker and her only family. “Who was that guy that helped us?” Ellen asked, taking some food into her mouth “Oh that’s Allen, we worked together” David answered slightly bowing his head “Is everything fine?” Ellen paused to ask, her voice was still a little frail.“Yeah, it’s just that we don’t work together anymore, and I be

“So you were serious about not coming home with me,” Jessica said in a low tone as though pleading like a lost puppy, her eyes a bit watery “I said another time, okay,” Arnold said assuring her before she wanted him goodbye from the inside of the car.Arnold watched her as he waved a bit as well, seeing her off. After he had done his required task, he headed back to his office to finish what he was doing before lunch.His desk was filled with files “Finally got my hands on his transactional documents” he muttered to himself, taking off his blue suit and putting it on his chair. “Thank you Norman” he added, taking the files to his bag to be examined a lot more at home.Sitting down on the chair, he remembered how he had come across the young man who fell to the ground, raising his voice and crying about the death of his sister. “You won’t get away with this!! I promise you” the man yelled, wailing as he was pulled by muscly bodyguards. “Shut your mouth,” one of the men in dark suits sa

The whole day went by, and Allen could only think of ways to make the dangerous seven regrets ever trying to eliminate him, he calmly sat looking up and after a while got up to go home, it was already late and he wasn’t the type to overwork himself, he quickly took his coat and bolted out the door.“Goodnight sir,” his secretary said smiling, he calmly nodded not uttering a word ‘Doesn’t he ever lighten up?’ She thought to herself as she too started packing up her work so she could leave as well.Allen bolted out the door as quickly as he could, not minding who had seen him or not, he went to the parking lot, opened his car door, and got in, entering his car, he sat down, buckled his seat belt to his side as just then he heard a voice from behind “Hands behind your head” Allen quickly took his hand behind his head as said.“Listen to me carefully,” the man said, putting the gun so close to his nape that he slightly felt it on his ski, Allen hesitated “You’ll drive this car in the dire

“Let's go get this deal over with,” Allen said as he looked himself in the mirror one more time as he was getting ready to leave. The meeting with Josh was feeling quite like a huge one as they were finally going to get into the details of how they were going to get rid of Project Erebus, the long-standing threat just wouldn't go away. “Are you sure about this Josh? I still can't get around the feeling I have every time I remember that you are trying to ally with this dude…” Stephanie just couldn't hide her suspicions anymore as she stared at Allen who was too caught up in the act of getting himself ready to leave. “Are you even listening to anything that I'm saying?”“Oh yes I am…” Allen said even though he was too carried away to pay attention. He was already going over so many times in his head that there just wasn't space but anything else. “I was just zoning out for a couple of moments to think about how the meeting would go.”“Like I said I still don't think that Josh has pure

Allen lay in the large bed, a warm smile plastered across his face. He was feeling very happy after completing the deal with Josh Gregory. Well, even though they had not yet informed the other shareholders that he was partnering with Josh Gregory for three months or so, it still left him feeling very happy. At least the majority of his problem was gone. The only thing left was convincing the others and it would be very easy since he wouldn't be buying any shares from the Gregory company."Never thought it would be as easy as this," Allen said to himself. "It's great when you have friends...eh, I can't call Josh Gregory my friend yet. I don't think he's worthy to be called my friend or something."He let out a long sigh before saying, "This is one of the steps I need to take to vanquish Project Erebus. They've done several bad things and need to be punished, not just defeated."With these words, he sat down before cracking his knuckles, "I've got the Suit of Dominance so I must be more

Josh Gregory who had been using his Clairvoyant ability for some time couldn't help but narrow his eyes after having this feeling of danger. This meant that someone in the building opposite the mansion wanted to harm him or had even thought of harming him.After the episode with the journalist, Josh couldn't afford to be careless. Hence he knew at that moment that something was dangerous there and trusted his intuition.I can't believe someone in that building wants to harm me, Josh thought to himself as he continued to stare at the building. Or is it that assassin from before? The one who tried to kill me but escaped unusually?When he had this thought he couldn't help but rise from the bed which he was sitting on. His eyes were so narrowed that one almost couldn't see them. This was to show how nervous he was at this moment.The building was still normal and nothing out of the ordinary. There was no one standing on the balcony, making it seem empty. If not for the feeling that Josh

James stood in his room with a pair of binoculars, watching the situation at the Gregory Mansion. This was what he had been doing after calling for reinforcement. He had been told to lay low and not attack Josh Gregory during this short period. This was because there was someone suspected to be Allen Scott with him.James had wanted to take actions into his own hands but he thought otherwise. He didn't want to end up on the wrong page of Project Erebus because those who did end up with a fate worse than death. He didn't want to end up the same way because he still had several years ahead of him to enjoy his life. He was only thirty and wasn't ready to endanger his own life unnecessarily by daring to go against his superior."That freak named Allen Scott seems to be expecting me to attack," James said. "But then he doesn't even know who I am as he wasn't there when I attacked. Only Josh would know but then he doesn't know my whereabouts."James removed the pair of binoculars from his e

Stephanie kept on looking at the elevator door as she paced back and forth with an expectant heart. The others had different expressions after seeing her do this continuously for thirty minutes.Mary Jane had a blank expression even though she cared about the way Stephanie felt. This was because she had to maintain the morale of the group as the leader. Even when one of them was feeling down she couldn't bring herself to show the same emotion even if she was feeling the same."He's going to eventually come," Mary Jane said. "I think something came up and he's dealing with it or he has different plans."From her interaction with Allen, she knew he was someone who liked doing things his way. Perhaps he had other motives and the mission gave him the leverage to achieve them. Also, Allen wasn't entirely helpless of course he was faced with very powerful players like the late Agent Jack. He knew how to hide himself very well and not screw things up."How do you know he'll eventually come b

After stating the last problem, everyone fell into a deep silence. Even Josh Gregory who didn't know much about Project Erebus was in deep thought. Just by learning from Allen Scott that Project Erebus was the one responsible for his omen for the past few months, he had a gleam at how grave the matter was.When Miriam brought up the issue of Project Erebus Allen decided not to be rash and listen to her. This was because, at his current level, he wasn't a match for the government facility which was trying to create a system of their own. And that was why he had decided to deal with them through a roundabout method.If Project Erebus were to place their attention because of what he did and found a way to take over Josh Gregory's company, then there was no way he would ever get to his feet. He could rely on the Ultimate system but would be the same as selling himself out to Project Erebus. Hence he needed to listen to Miriam and partner with Josh Gregory."If you partner with Josh Gregor

After some time Josh took out the documents and laid them out on the table for Allen and Miriam to see. These were the documents of the Gregory company, confidential files that couldn't be accessed even by his most trusted secretary."You're serious about selling your shares," Allen turned his head to look at Josh."No, it's nothing," Josh immediately shook his head. "Compared to what I stand to gain in the future, this is a necessary sacrifice."Who told you that you'd be gaining anything in the future? Allen sneered inwardly. Of course, he didn't say it out loud so that Josh wouldn't feel bad.Miriam took the documents and flipped through them silently before saying, "Sir, Mr. Allen needs to check the documents as well."She then turned to look at Allen, "You should have brought a lawyer as well. I'm currently working for Mr. Josh so..."She's still as professional as ever, Allen thought to himself. He then said, "Don't worry about that. I trust you very much and don't think you'd d

After hearing Allen's answer, Miriam took a deep breath as she regained control of her emotions. She then asked, "How do I know you're saying the truth?"Although the man in front of her resembled Allen Scott, she couldn't afford to believe that it was him. Everyone knew that he had suddenly become insane at the height of his power, losing everything that he'd acquired in two years. After then no one had heard from him again. It was as if he had suddenly vanished into the empty void. If not for his sister, Stephanie Scott handling matters then even the last property he had would have been sold off. Of course, she was powerless against the powerful figures who came to acquire all of Allen's properties which included the Allen company."I don't need to prove that I'm Allen Scott," Allen said as he turned to look at Josh, using his eyes to inform him that he should do the talking.Josh immediately understood and took a deep breath before straightening his shirt. He then said with a nod,

After moments of waiting a bodyguard soon came to knock on the door, announcing that Josh's lawyer was already there. This made Allen smile inwardly, almost urging Josh to hurry and ask the lawyer to come in immediately."Please tell her to come to the study," Josh told the bodyguard who nodded as he left immediately.Hold up, why does it seem that you're closer to the lawyer than I think? Allen narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized Josh. But he didn't sense an abnormal expression from the latter. Hence, he stopped looking at the playboy who was also the Super system host.In a couple of minutes, they heard a knock on the door. Without hesitating Josh asked the person outside the come in. Immediately the door clicked open, revealing a young woman in her 20s. She was dressed in a formal suit tailored for women, her expression extremely stern. Her eyes were narrowed as if she was used to scowling a lot.The young woman swept a glance at Josh before opening her mouth, "Good day, Sirs."No
