A Puppet Rise For System Boss Allen 116
The cold weather sunk into Allen’s skin as he picked out his outfit for the day, he remembered Jessica’s scolding “I want you to be there tomorrow, you’re meeting with my friends” her voice resounding in his head. “Now let me see, taking this coat will help with the cold,” he said picking out a black king coat, and a black shirt to match, his body was bare, showing his full six-pack abs and a streamline barely covered by his trousers.Allen took his clothes to match and put them on the bed as he quickly rushed into the bathroom, taking his facial routine. His face was quite smooth, and he put on some of his moisturizers “I think I need to be in full control of this beauty” Allen muttered, tapping some of the lotions on his face.It made no sense why he did all of it, to impress Jessica’s friends. It most definitely wasn’t that, it was to lure her even more and make her feel better about having him around. Jessica had a thing for looks, that was the only reason she would settle for so

The room was quite dark, the curtains were closed shut and the duvet was over her head “Get a grip, Ellen!” David said in an alarming tone, pulling the duvet away, Ellen curled up on the bed “Why didn’t you quit before all this?” She asked, taking a stab at David’s chest.“You need to stop sulking and talk to me,” David said sitting at the end of the bed and watching Ellen avoid him the best way she could, by not seeing his face. “It was a sort of government organization, I didn’t want to get you involved,” David said.“Yet, I was the first target” Ellen snapped turning her head to him “The fact you’re fiesty shows that you’re recovered” David joked as Ellen turned her head away from him again showing anger “I was just joking, okay,” David said.“You could have died, don’t you know that?” Ellen asked teary “You’re the only family I’ve got,” she said now sobbing “I’ll be fine, there’s no need to panic, we’ll be fine” David answered pulling her in for a hug. “We’ll be fine, we always a

The two men in their elegant outfits stood facing each other, each with a glass in their hands staring and smiling at each other after a hearty handshake.“So… I hear you work at Jessie’s grandad’s company,” Julian said in an attempt to mock the handsome man in front of him “Yes I do work there” Arnold answered keeping his answers short as he knew what this man was up to.“Did you meet her there or.. did you know her before you started working there?” Julian said now with a smirk “I worked there before meeting her, after some time, Jessica came to visit her grandfather and supposedly liked me” Arnold said flatly.“Wow, really, then she must have taken a liking to you,” Julian said as he took a sip of his drink “Yeah” Arnold answered having his martini “Because, she said she didn’t like me, so what made you different” Julian said smiling as though trying to crack Arnold “Well, it’s her choice, I’m not sure why she didn’t want you so much as to date you” Arnold answered sharply making J

Philly looked at the spacious room “Allen and his tastes” he said smiling. Standing up from the bed he looked at the shelf of books that stared at him, the books were quite many filling the shelf.“He also knows mine” he muttered taking a book to read, as he pulled it, he noticed a movement in the walls, there was a space in between the shelf and the room beyond “Never underestimate his thinking powers,” he said smiling.He was about to walk into the space left for entry when someone slightly knocked on his door, he looked back, and touched the book again, letting it close. “Yeah? What’s up?” Phily asked in a hastened tone “What are you doing?” David asked as he noticed the young man panting “Nothing, but I wanna ask, have you ever entered this room?” Phily asked “No, I’m surprised you have the key to it, Allen doesn’t want us in it,” he said, “Did you find something?” He asked. “Nope, didn’t find anything, what are you knocking for?” Phily asked.“Oh yeah,” David said suddenly remem

Arnold looked down at Jessica as she had become teary-eyed, taking a deep breath, he held her shoulders “It’s okay being flustered or even scared but you need to understand that they have no value and their opinions about you are useless” Arnold said with an assuring smile on his face.Jessica looked up at him as she watched his eyes before he took her hand again and walked over to the car. They both sit in the back seat waiting for their driver to move the car.“How was the evening sir?“ the elderly man behind the steering wheel asked in an attempt to spark a conversation “It was okay, we had fun while it lasted” Arnold answered looking out the window as Jessica still had tears with her clasped hands.“Drop me off at the next stop,” Arnold said confidently with a calm tone “W..why?” Jessica stuttered “I’ll get a cab home, get home safely,” he said to her “Bu..but I could drop you off” she suggested.“I’ll be fine,” Allen said once lord came opening the car and door and making his way

The young women dressed seductively, their hands rubbing over the young man’s chest as he enjoyed their company, not caring if there were people around, well, there wasn’t any need to, he was in a strip club, he took out wads of cash putting it on the table as the women cheered him on ecstatically with smiles on their faces, hands on his body.Just then his phone began to ring, a lady took the phone, handing it to him “Thank you” he muttered with a smile, the caller ID read ‘Valerie fiancé’ he looked at it calmly before dripping the phone, ignoring her completely.Valerie held her phone in her hand with anger “Why isn’t this douchebag answering my calls?” She asked in a fit of rage “He’s so damn useless” she added “Arghh” she yelled throwing the phone in the bed and rummaging through her hair with her fingers.While Valerie was helplessly screaming at the top of her lungs in her room, her fiancé thought it wise to have fun with the strippers in the club after getting drunk for the day

It was no surprise that Arnold got back to work almost immediately after having that conversation with Mr. Palmer, he didn’t want to get married to her, at least not yet, his plans were still solidifying and not yet in fruition.Arnold carefully stacked files that were in front of him, placing them onto a shelf, he was dutifully following every instruction he was given by the Chief Executive Officer. He kept flipping through the pages of the documents in his hands when he heard his phone ring, causing his concentration to go blank, he took the phone which sat on top of the desk and checked the caller ID, ‘Philly’ it read.Allen looked at his phone and he paused for a while before taking the call “Yeah, hello” he said “Master Allen” Phil responded “It’s Arnold, now” he corrected him since there was no way to tell if his phone was being bugged.“Sorry about that” Phily apologized, his voice was low “What is it?” Arnold asked in a calm tone “Well, sir, Mr. David’s cousin has decided to

The room was quite dark, it was quite hard for the young girl to move around the place, she had only a guarding voice following her as she trailed off. She walked closer to what seemed like a monument, she placed her hand on it to understand the sculpture before her.It was a creature, she couldn’t make out what she had just touched, it felt damp and touching the part where the head was supposed to be, she noticed that it was empty, just then, a loud thud sounded through, a ray of light came with it, it was lightning, she noticed what she had touched, had no head, she pulled back, screaming in terror.She grappled to the ground, and she felt vines trying their best to have their grasp on her, she looked at the sculpture in horror, it was familiar, and it felt absurd, she touched her head, because what she had seen made her so shocked she crawled away, “That can’t be me” she said with a shaky voice.As she tried to run away from the horror of what she had seen, she noticed a man standi

Immediately Allen heard the sharp sound of the gunshot, he ducked low to the ground, moving around the side of the car to take cover from where the shit came from.His men were already on high alert, moving to cover his position while pulling out weapons of their own.Another gunshot sounded, this time from uncomfortably close, and Allen risked a glance over the side of his car.His men had returned fire towards the direction of the shots, and deep down, Allen knew it was useless.He had seen that the shots were coming from a multistorey building a small distance away. All his men had with them were short-range weapons, which were no match for the weapon that was being used to fire at him.Allen cursed inwardly. It was those damn Project Erebus people again, he was sure of it.He almost chuckled at their audacity, attacking him just when his partnership with Josh Gregory was about to be settled.Speaking of... Where the hell was Josh Gregory? They were being shot at right outside his

“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,
