Ellen sat on the couch, her eyes solely focused on the light emanating from the TV “Hey” Phily said, Ellen responded by tilting her head back to see who it was “Oh, hey Phily” Ellen answered in a soft voice.“Where’d you even go?” She asked, smiling at him, her legs curled up on the couch “We went golfing” David answered abruptly stopping him from talking.“Golfing?” Ellen asked giving them a hysterical look “And you’re coming back at around.. 9 pm” she said watching them “Yeah, so did you have anything for dinner?” David asked responding to the question she threw to him.“Yeah, I made fried chicken and there’s some ramen you can eat over there” she answered turning back to watch the television.“Were you going to tell her what happened?” David whispered to Phily as they walked into the kitchen “I don’t know, you call the shots” Phily answered showing no interest.

His vision seemed blurry, his eyes trying to catch a glimpse of the sun rays, putting his hand over his eyes to protect himself “Good morning” he heard “Oh my God!” Philly yelled, moving back, he was startled by the voice emerging from the kitchen.“Are you okay?” Ellen asked, dropping her cup of water and rushing to Phily’s side “Ye..yeah, I’m good, I’m fine” he answered as she walked over standing over him “I didn’t mean to startle you” she said. “No, I’m fine, really” he answered, picking himself up “Sorry about that, I’m just getting ready for school” she said with a calm voice “This early?” Phily asked, his voice was low “Yeah, but I don’t really think it’s early, it’s 8am already” she pointed out.Phily looked at her, his eyes still drowsed “Oh yeah, I’m just a late person” he answered smiling “Want a ride?” He suggested “Nah, I don’t want to be late, I’ll see you both later though” she said waving at him.“Yeah, study well kiddo” he responded smiling as she laughed her way t

Allen couldn't explain the recent happenings, it was as if he was no longer in the real world. "I think I need to get myself checked." He said as he stood up from his bed in his bedroom. "Or maybe I should take a break. I feel like I'm seeing things that are not there. Or could be because my sister is missing?!" He asked himself but shook his head at the realization, that that wasn't the cause of it. "I need to see a therapist first, these people are causing me to go crazy," Allen said and stood up, he had instructed everyone earlier to stay out of his way and not to bother him, he knew that someone was going to flout that order that was he put his phone on DND. He grabbed his phone and his keys and made his way out of his house, hoping that he wasn't going to run into Jessica. A lot of thoughts were running concurrently through his head and he had to clear them all out so he could focus solely on just finding his sister without distractions and making the perpetrators pay for eve

Allen turned into another corner and when the car followed him again, he was satisfied that the car was following him. While driving the car, he took out his phone and started sending texts out to his men, his concentration was divided, half on the road and half on his phone. "Hey what's up," Allen said into the phone as soon as the person on the end picked up the call. "I've got a few pests trailing behind me, I need you to take care of them," Allen said and ended the call, but then picked the phone up again and dialed the same number. "Just follow the tracker and trace me down here, I'm going to take another turn, I don't know where I'm going." He said. "Okay, boss." The man on the other end said and Allen dropped the call. Allen continued driving not minding if the cars were still trailing behind him. But he wondered who must have been stupid to follow him during the day and make him aware of it. He made up his mind to make his way to the therapist whether his men take care o

Allen was greeted by the angry gaze of the client whom he met in The therapist's office earlier. "It's about time!" The woman said and angrily stomped her way inside the house. Allen hadn't moved away from the door when he heard the same woman shout. "So this is what this is about, you sent me out and decided to attend to the man just because of money!" And in minutes, the woman was storming out of the office and walking past Allen who just stared at her blankly. He shook his head and continued making his way to the exit, he didn't notice that he had gotten to the reception already and it was the voice of the receptionist that brought him back to reality. "How did your session go, Mr Allen?" The receptionist asked in a voice that was loud enough for everyone around to hear her. "It went well," Allen replied, a bit embarrassed on her behalf, and walked away immediately, he didn't want to entertain any more questions from her. As soon as Allen got into his car, he began to ponder o

As soon as the man let out a scream, Allen spat out the gin onto the man's ear, causing him to fall to the ground and wriggle in immense pain. "Please, please, I'll talk...I swear I'll talk!" The second man still sitting blurted out, that he didn't want to have the same fate as his partner. "Just don't cut off my ears, I'll swear I'll talk!" The man added and now, there was fear in his eyes as he tried scooting away from Allen. "No way." Allen said, you all had your chances, it's time for me to torture you." "No, please, I beg of you, I don't want you to cut my ears off, please. I'm going to tell you everything that I know." The man said and began to visibly shiver, his eyes were darting in terror from Allen to his partner on the ground. Allen stood up and stared him hard in the face. "You had your chance, I'm not going to give you another." "Please, sir. Just another chance, I'm ready to speak." Allen looked at him again for a longer period and took a sip from the gin as

Allen quickly made it for the door but found it locked. He tried opening it but to no avail. "Are there any escape doors close by?" He questioned, as he felt panic slowly seeping into him. "The left, the right, the the" Ultimate began to glitch until it went off. "Ultimate?" Allen called but the system was gone. "What the heck is going on?" He questioned and looked around for another door. He found an escape door but when he tried opening it, it was locked. "Dang it!" He cursed inwardly and went on to search for another door in desperation. If it was a bomb, the time would be ticking and he knew he had a few minutes to escape or that would be the end. He still had a lot to do. He promised Stephanie that he would be back. He still had to bring down the project Erubus and ruin his father. "I can't die today," he muttered, thinking about everything he had to do.He found a few more doors but they were all locked and the few that weren't, they led to a different room. It was only t

"I knew something was off," Allen mumbled, bending low to avoid getting hit by the flying bullets. The driver immediately took a turn, while the security officers in the other car rushed out and started firing at the shooters. "Josh is in danger!" Allen muttered, realizing they had used Josh's phone and knew about the address for their meeting. "Stop the car!" He ordered, taking the driver aback. The driver didn't stop the car at first, thinking he had heard wrongly until Allen repeated himself this time, with fury. He quickly pulled over and Allen stepped out holding a gun. His security officers were so busy with the attackers, that they didn't notice when he stepped out of the car and ran into the woods, trying to use the backdoor. He took cover behind a tree and quickly wore his glasses, activating Ultimate. "You have two options for this mission: You either leave right now and call the cops to do their job or you will get an ultimate weapon, but you must kill all the enemi

“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
