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

Jessica watched as her date walked to the bathroom, how could she tell him that although she was the one who brought the idea, she felt so uncomfortable sitting and dining with the same people who made rumors about her in high school?She mustered enough courage to walk over to where a group of people sat, chattering as well “Jess” a young man said alerting the others as they looked at her “Good evening, guys” Jessica said with a shy smile.She calmly sat on the empty seat with her name on it “So.. where’s your boyfriend we famously heard about from Valerie” A young lady said enthusiastically “Yeah, we would like to see him” a young man said with a grin on his lips, holding a glass of wine to his lips.“I’m sure Valerie just said things,” another said stopping her from speaking “He.. just went.. to the washroom,” Jessica said with a shaky voice “He must have bladder issues,” another said laughing as the others joined him as well.Valerie knew that it was the wrong choice she had made

Palmer felt on edge while he sat in a circle of people more fierce than he had ever worked with, a younger man who had a stern expression sat at the end of the table, his chair facing the window, his back against the rest of them who sat in the room.“Grey” the man called out, making Palmer lose his composure “Ye..yes sir” he answered, his voice low and shaky “You said you wouldn’t make your granddaughter continue in your footsteps, didn’t you?” The man asked, his voice was cold “Yes sir” Palmer answered.“Then who’s going to take after you then” the man said in a rather calm voice as all eyes turned to Palmer, his face becoming pale, “My soon-to-be grandson-in-law, he’s more than capable,” the old man said in a frail voice. “Well then, do well to have him see me,” the man said in a cold voice as Palmer took his seat.After the meeting, the men left the room, going to the various destinations “He still gives me a mild heart attack whenever I see him” Palmer said to the man walking by

Arnold held her hand gently until he reached the car, opening the door to the passenger seat for her, Jessica watched her head and entered the car.All eyes had turned to the couple as they walked into their car, Arnold had one last glance at Ronald “We’ll meet again soon” he muttered. Arnold entered the driver’s seat of the car and started driving.His eyes focused solely on the road, trying his best not to recall what he had said in the restaurant ‘Babe?’ He thought to himself, he tried his best to avoid eye contact with Jessica whose eyes stared deep at his soul as he drove, he could tell she was smiling from ear to ear even without looking at her.“Thank you” Jessica muttered “Huh?” Arnold said trying to hear what she had just said “I said thank you and also I’m sorry about them” she voiced out, Arnold looked at her for a while before focusing on the road once more “It’s fine, it wasn’t your fault, they were assholes, I need to commend you for putting up with them,” Arnold said ma

Allen submerged himself into the pool of water, groaning “Today was rather a long day” he said putting his face in the water. Then he heard a sound, a ring, it was his phone, pulling his face out of the water.He took on the the towel hanging on the side, taking it to his face, he cleaned up the water from his face before approaching the table where his phone was with his body bare.“Hello,” he said on the phone “They tried to get into the house” Phily answered in a low tone. “Really? Are you hurt? What about David and Ellen?” Allen asked him “They’re both fine, we put them in a semi-conscious state” Phily answered calmly notifying him that all was well.“Fine then, I’ll interrogate them myself,” he said before ending the call. “That was a tricky move William” Allen said to himself “I’ll make sure you never have to do that again” he muttered, dropping the phone on the table before taking his night robe.After wearing the robe, he calmly sat on the end of the huge bed, taking his phone

He lay in wait, holding his binoculars in the dark, he noticed two men holding what seemed like heavy rifles pacing “So they’re truly hiding something in there” he muttered holding the binoculars even more firmly.He noticed the men watching the perimeters as though they were hawks, keeping their eyes peeled as he watched them from afar. “What are they hiding?” The man muttered still watching them.Something had happened attracting the attention of the guards, it seemed like an explosion, the men rushed to the scene “They’re leaving their posts, go, go, go” the man whispered into the telecom.The men behind moved at his command going in, they climbed down the cliff, moving with their knives and guns as stealthy as they could, trying their best not to make any sounds.“Got eyes on an opening” he suddenly heard from his telecom “Got it, follow” he answered moving as well. They followed commands and entered the gates that were now free because the guards had become occupied with the expl

The room was too dark, she moved her hands around the walls as she heard footsteps “Why are you here?” She asked with a sobbing throat “I came to inform you that even though your brother’s dead, he positioned people who would look for you, I must commend him” the man said, his hands behind his back.“What… what do you mean by that?” She asked, her voice becoming stronger “Don’t you dare tell me he’s dead, he’s alive, he’ll find me and kill you” she said pointing her fingers towards him.“Come on, now, you don’t have to be that harsh” he answered walking closer to her “Besides he got his part of revenge when he slashed through my illusion, giving me this scar” he added “Now, he’s gone and once I finish the troop he sent, I’ll send you to him, for now, I want them to have hope that they can find you” he said with a smirk.“He’ll kill you, my brother Allen will have your head on a platter!!!!” Stephanie replied, screaming at him as he left “Goodbye.. my love” he answered with a smile.“M

Arnold’s body looked numb, to those standing over him, “Bring him closer” the voice ordered once more, “Hmmm, he’s out cold” the man seated on an armed chair said “Strap him up” the man ordered, the men following as they were told.“He seems ordinary,” the man said once more “Blindfold, now!” He ordered. Arnold was put in a chair and blindfolded, in normal scenarios as Allen he would be able to evade whatever attack came his way but he knew the voice giving orders, he knew he had to be calm.Arnold’s body temperature had begun to rise and his pulse had begun to slow down as well “He’s quite weak” a man strapping him to a chair said “Well, we doused him with sedatives.. so” the other said when a man walked in and they both slightly bowed “Sir” they both said in unison.“What do you think his reason is?” One asked as the man had left, the room still somewhat dark “I’m not sure, you’ve seen him do worse for no reason whatsoever, I don’t think this is different” the other answered “Let’s

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,
