“Thank you for the meal,” Arnold said smiling “But, you didn’t even finish it” Jessica responded softly, her eyes showing her sadness “I need to go to work and also to reach the station,” he said getting up, signaling that she could leave.She calmly walked out of the room, smiling, “I got to talk with him for a longer time” she muttered as she held the tray, after he had closed the door, she looked at it, smiled a little and then turned forward, “I’m sure he’s the one, my other half” she said smiling as she walked.His routine was quite simple, giving the fact that he wasn’t home right now, after taking his bath and having on his robe, he heard a soft knock on the door “Hold on a sec” he said in a calm voice.He opened the door, looking down was Jessica with some clothes “I thought you might need these” she said smiling, looking up at him, she noticed his eyes watching her, his wet hair still dripping water.“Oh, thank you” he answered with a smile, not noticing how flustered he made
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
"Please sir, I feel very sorry for what I did, but please sir, do you promise not to kill me?" The man asked as Buff began to untie the rope around his body. "Promises are debt young man and I'm not in the place to owe anyone!" Allen said to him. "Besides you wouldn't have been sorry if you and your partner had successfully kidnapped me and taken me to Don Martin, now would you?" Allen asked sarcastically. "Now that reminds me, how much did Don Martin promise to pay you two?" Allen asked but the man was reluctant to tell him. "You're not willing to speak, should I get the scissors then?" Allen asked and a sly smile crept into his face. "No, no sir, please not the scissors. He promised to pay us two million dollars, sir!" The man said and Buff loosened the final rope from his body and kept his distance but the man remained on the floor. "Two million dollars, well that's poor, is that how cheap he thinks I'm worth, that he's paying hoodlums just two million dollars to have me kidn
"Just make another turn and we'll be there in no time." The kidnapper said. Allen gave him a hateful look before he turned back and kept his eyes on the road. Allen took out his phone to check if there was any update about his sister being found. He couldn't find any, so he turned his phone back off in anger and sank back into his seat, he closed his eyes and curled his fists into a ball. "When I get my hand on those idiots who took you, I'm so going to punish them and make them beg for their deaths!" Allen said under his breath. "Did you say something boss?" Buff asked, his eyes darting from a furious-looking Allen to the road. "No I wasn't talking to you, just focus on driving," Allen said to him and looked out the window. "There, we're almost at the downtown area." The kidnapper announced and caused Allen to look up ahead. "About time!" Allen said and Buff began to slow down. "Why are you suddenly slowing down?" Allen asked, voicing his surprise. "So that I can note of thi
It didn't take up to a moment for Allen to realize that he had been set up. "You bloody bastard!" Allen seethed as he clenched his teeth. He was about to go after Phillip when one of the men held him by his arms, preventing him from going further. "Let me go you bloody fools!" Allen yelled and tried breaking the man's hold around his arm but his efforts were in vain. Buff tried running to Allen's rescue when another man grabbed him from behind. The man was about the same size as Buff so it was very easy for Buff to overpower the man and throw him onto the floor. He ran toward Allen and elbowed the man holding tightly to Allen across his face. The man grunted in pain and fell to the floor. "Shit!" The man cursed under his breath as he felt blood dripping from the corner of his eye. "Don't let them escape..." The man muttered as he tried getting up but he felt a pang of pain shoot through his face and it caused him to fall back onto the floor. "Let's get out of here quickly boss!"
The second guard was standing before them, staring at them in horror. He was going to call his partner as he was taking too long and their bosses would soon be out, but he found him unconscious with the woman and a familiar man beside him."Hey! Who are you two?! What have you done!" He said out, bringing their attention to him. He quickly brought out his gun but before he could point it at them, Mary threw the rod to him and it hit the gun away. Before he could recover, she ran and punched him hard on his face and the next to his chest, rendering him weak. He fell on his knees groaning in pain. "You should never have trusted me," she muttered and wrapped her arm tightly around his neck, to make him unconscious, while Allen went on to undress the other officer. The second guard finally went to sleep and she let him go. "Now, we have our perfect disguises," she said with a smile and made to undress him but Allen held back her hand. She looked at him with her brows drawn together,
They both left the car and ran towards the state library. Just when they got closer, Mary suddenly held his hand and dragged him to the alley."What are you doing? This is our chance to go in," he pointed out, not pleased with her sudden action."I know we are two and I promised to fight with you, but are you a fool?" She questioned, which made him arch his brows.She never misses a moment to insult him. She went on, "If we go into that library as Allen Scott and Mary Jane, the project Erubus would be informed before we get to them and they will have all the time to escape and plan an attack. We don't even know where exactly they are in the building."Allen signed deeply, knowing she was right. He was going to make a bad decision but lucky enough, she was there to stop him. "So what's your plan? Are we going to disguise to go in?"She nodded. "We have to disguise. That way, we can enter as normal people and figure out what to do and where to go.""Won't it take a lot of time? Why do
"Mary?" He called, in shock. "C'mon. We don't have all day. My system is about to shut down!" She yelled out, getting ready to run. Allen nodded and hurried down the stairs. He put his glasses into his pocket and together, they ran into the woods, going as fast as they could. "We need to find a place to hide before the explosion," she pointed out, breathing heavily. "Come with me," he answered and took the next turn. He noticed a pit a few distance away from them and pointed it direction. "There!"They both jumped into the pit and a loud explosion followed next, shaking the ground and bringing everything on its path down. After the explosion, silence followed next with their heavy breathing loud to their ears. Mary Jane sat down and placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm her racing heart. "That was close," she muttered. Allen nodded and sat beside her, trying to steady his breath. She looked at him and asked, "How did you know there was a pit here?""I took notice when I
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
