A Puppet Rise For System Boss Allen 173
After some minutes a cave soon came to their view. It was standing in the middle of the desert, caked in so much dust that no one would have noticed the cave was even there. Allen would have asked what the next step was but he thought against it. The girl he had been arguing with lately had been through so much than him. He couldn't afford to make her feel bad after hearing her story. It would be inhumane if he did something like that.Allen sneaked a glance at her and saw that her expression had turned normal. She didn't even look like someone who had suffered so much. She looked as if nothing in this world could shake her and that made Allen impressed. The young woman was strong, even stronger than him."You once asked how I knew this area," Mary Jane said as she stepped on the brake slowly. "It's because I once lived with my family in that dilapidated street. The last street before we entered into the barren land with so much thorns."The car came to a halt in front of the cave, an

As Allen stared into the tunnel which seemed to stretch endlessly, he sucked in a cold breath. He never imagined that the cave which he had seen to be dirty and ancient would turn out this way. He had expected Mary Jane to use her wind power to push the boulder away and was shocked when she used facial recognition instead."I purchased so many AI systems from the Prime system with all the points I had left and installed them here," Mary Jane said. "I even made the system modify this while in place. No outsider was involved in building this magnificent place and I was the one who designed it before giving it to the Prime system to work on it."Magnificent place? Allen couldn't help but ask himself. All he could see was a very long tunnel. There was nothing magnificent about it. He had been shocked at first but that didn't mean the place breathtaking. So what was Mary Jane talking about?"You designed this whole place by yourself?" Dr. Thompson asked with a surprised expression. It seem

Mary Jane was the last to walk out of the elevator, the doors closing immediately with a beep sound. She walked towards the wine cellar in the dining room to get them some drink."This is more fascinating than I'd expected!" Dr. Thompson said as he nudged at his glasses. "These screens seem to be connected to satellites in space. They're showing various scenes of our city!""True," Allen responded with a nod. "I'm seeing the various streets I'm familiar with.""There is even footage of our hospital!" Dr. Thompson exclaimed as he went to one of the screens. "So this is how she found us!"Allen silently looked at the various screens and soon saw a familiar place. His memory told him that it was his mansion. Seeing his mansion reminded him of his sister. He couldn't help but clench his fists, becoming more determined to find her after he settled down here."She even has footage of my mansion," Allen said as he touched the screen. "She's been stalking me all this while.""Stalking?" Mary

That same day Stephanie was busy preparing food at home. She wanted to take the dish to her elder brother who was still at the hospital. Ever since his mental state deteriorated she has been sending food to him, not for once allowing him to go hungry. Every single day she would visit him and there was no day she didn't buy things for him. His brother was the only member of his family right now and she had to do everything in her power to take care of him.Stephanie still remembered that their father was still alive but she couldn't consider him a member of her family. The man had abandoned their mother and them for another woman. He had even written his will, handling all his property to his haughty stepdaughter. So there was no way she could see someone like that as family. It would be a foolish thing to do."By now Allen should be feeling better," Stephanie said. "I need to make his meal more delicious than before to celebrate this."That night Dr. Thompson had called her to tell he

Allen and the others were still drinking when he saw a scene of the hospital to which had been admitted earlier. There was so much commotion and the cops were moving about, trying to calm the situation. He saw the terrified expressions of the doctors in white garbs and couldn't help but become interested in that particular footage. There was an explosion and everyone except the cops and SWAT team couldn't help but scamper for safety. They were very terrified as they stared at the flames of fire that bloomed from a particular part of the hospital like a mushroom. A thick cloud formed in the air at the hospital and Allen discovered that it was smoke. During that time at the hospital when Agent Jack had wanted to capture him, Mary Jane had shown up to stop him. It seemed they had fought and the fight was what caused the explosions in the hospital. Seeing this, Allen couldn't help but wonder how tough the battle between Mary Jane and Agent Jack had been back then. Were they employing th

"We need to get my sister right now! She's in danger!"When Allen made this announcement, Dr. Thompson who had been looking at the screen shuddered. He had thought that people from Project Erebus weren't going to strike for the time being. Who would have thought that they would immediately go after Stephanie after discovering that Allen had escaped?Dr. Thompson didn't just think that Project Erebus had gone after Stephanie because they just wanted to force Allen out of the shadows. He felt that the reason they sent someone after her immediately was because Agent Jack had been killed by Allen and Mary Jane. This was seen as a quick revenge, an eye for an eye."I think at this moment we shouldn't make rash decisions," Mary Jane tried to calm Allen down. "Project Erebus wants to use your sister as a bargaining chip.""They haven't gotten her, have they?" Allen couldn't help but ask. "Also they don't even expect us to show up to save my sister. They don't think we're gonna show up again

The jet flew through the tunnel, just a couple of meters off the ground. The tunnel was very long but the jet was flying very fast. So it wouldn't take time to reach the entrance to the tunnel."This is so unbelievable," Dr. Thompson said with a soft voice. "I never thought I would have the chance to enter into a private jet in my entire life!""And that's the only reason I allowed you into the jet," Mary Jane said in a flat tone."What do you mean by that?" Dr. Thompson couldn't help but look at her."You're not coming with us to rescue Stephanie," Mary Jane said. "It's just Allen and I.""Huh?" Dr. Thompson couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "But I want to save the girl. I have a good impression of her.""It's not up to you to do that," Mary Jane. "You're not a player and will only serve to drag us down. Even Allen wouldn't have been allowed to go since he's not that experienced.""Okay," Dr. Thompson said. "I won't argue with you over this matter. You know what is best for all o

The jet soon 'ran' out of the tunnel before gradually flying off the ground. Puffs of dust filled the entire place and the sound of blades cutting through the air resonated across the environment. Dr. Thompson who had been standing in the tunnel couldn't help but sigh when he saw the jet soar into the sky. He watched as the large metallic wall slowly slid out of the ground.At this moment he decided to make his move. With all his strength he ran towards the metallic wall which was already sliding out of the ground, reaching the height of a child. He then pressed his hands to the edge before throwing himself over the metallic wall. He fell to the hard ground which felt very cold to his body before rolling into the sandy ground.Almost immediately the large boulder also slid up, blocking the entrance to the tunnel. Even if Dr. Thompson wanted to head back into the tunnel right now, there was no way to do so."Damn..." he cussed as he got back to his feet, staring at the car which Mary J

Allen quickly dodged the bullet, thanks to Ultimate who had easily pointed out where he would shoot from. "Try again in hell," Allen said and a gun was shot at Moses on his hand, making his gun drop. Everyone averted their gazes to the door and saw two familiar men standing there, Sylvester Williams and David, the last two users. "One thing I hate the most is to be fooled and you all fooled me," Williams said and stepped forward. "All these years, I believed my death would bring calmness to the world. I thought I was doing it for the good and safety of this world. I even went as far as hunting down the other users just to satisfy you. I should have known better."Lake and Mike tried to attack but they got shot instantly by Mary and Josh who both walked in together. "I hope I am not too late?" Mary asked and crocked her gun. "You- you should be dead," Lake said, groaning in pain. "Unfortunately, I am not. I am your nemesis and that's why I survived," Mary answered and pointed her

The hall became silent as they all had their eyes on him. Suddenly, one of them stood up and smirked. "Allen Scott, we have been expecting you. You came right to us," he said. Allen crocked his gun and pointed it at him. "Yes. And I am here to end this nonsense. Enough with all his. You all have hunted our lives for years but today, all this is going to end."The man clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Do you think all these would be the end?""I don't think. I know. Besides, no one is going to save any of you. The agents are gone."The man averted his gaze to Moses and shook his head. "You finally got them. I am sure you told them about you being the good guy and we being the bad guy."Allen drew his brows and looked at Moses who had no expression on his face. He immediately knew what Mary said was true. They were to be trusted and for that, he wasn't surprised. "Mr Scott, do you believe everything this man told you?" Allen looked at Moses again and smirked. "Why shouldn't I

Mary noticed the man secretly smiling at someone behind her and when she turned, she saw it was George. Her heart skipped a bit. He was smoking back at them but in a way that said 'good job,' she swallowed hard and looked at the men as her instinct immediately pointed at George as a member of the group that attacked them. She quickly shook her head and tried to brush off her thought. "No, George wouldn't do this. He is part of this team and has been a loyal member," she concluded inwardly and glanced at him one more time. This time, she noticed he was staring back at her with a frown plastered on his face. He stared for a while before he let out a small smile.She gulped nervously and looked away. "This can't be. George can't be part of them," she said and stood up, bringing everyone's attention to her. "What is wrong?" Allen asked, staring at her with concern. She looked at George again who had his brows creased. She couldn't take away the thought that he could be one of them an

"Tomorrow?" Josh asked with his eyes stretched wide. He walked forward and went on, "What do you mean tomorrow? We aren't prepared to face this people. We would need more time.""Mr Gregory," Moses called, taking Josh by surprise because he never expected him to know his name. Moses went on, "It was a quick date fixed and I have no power to stop it. The project society are been too anxious and that would be our greatest weapon against them.""Greatest weapon? In what way would we win this fight when I don't even have a clue of what you are talking about?""They are moving quick. Tomorrow is the day for the project," Lake answered."How is that possible? We haven't been caught by them," Josh asked, stepping forward."They have you all where they want you. They will come over to take you tonight."Allen drew his brows in confusion. "What do you mean? How do they have us right where they want?""Do you think the society are dumb? They know where you all are. They have been monitoring you

Steph abruptly stood up, shocked to see her standing there. She swallowed hard and asked nervously, "how long have you been there?""For a while," she answered and walked in completely. "There is someone who wants to meet you," she said and quickly walked out of the room. Steph sighed deeply and faced Allen who stood quietly, staring at the closed door. "She heard us. I feel so bad," she muttered."Let me go and meet this guests of mine," he answered dryly and walked out of the room. "This guy is messed up," she muttered and went after him. They got to the living room and Allen drew his brows, seeing the strange faces in the living room. As he drew closer, they all stood up. "Hello, Mr Scott," they greeted in unison.He got closer and stood before them. "Hello to you too. How may I help you?" He asked. "I am Moses Banks, this man beside me," he pointed at the man by his right side. "Is Lake Hall. And the second here is Dennis. We are all aware of your position as the subject been

"Brother I-" Steph barged into the room and her words hung in her throat when she saw Allen and Mary jerked up. Just when their lips met, they got distracted. Steph who had noticed what they were doing, looked down embarrassed. "I am sorry for barging in this way," she apologized. Allen's eyes stretched wide, realizing what he had done with Mary. He looked at her and noticed she looked embarrassed and was trying not to look at anyone. He cursed inwardly and rubbed the back of his neck "What happened to me? What was I about to do?" He asked, mad at himself. "I can come back later. It's not important," Steph said and made to leave but Mary stopped her. "You don't have to go anywhere, Steph. I am about to leave," she said and hurried out in embarrassment. Immediately she did, Steph's lips curled up into a smile as she faced her brother. "Big bro, what is going on?" She asked cheekily. Allen rubbed his neck and sat on his bed. He was still trying to figure out what had happened to

All of them stared at him, surprised to see a different person. Allen let out a deep breath and stood up. "I have gone through the first step of my plan and that is going to Josh's company. I've been able to convince someone important to join me."Josh drew his brows, wondering who he was referring to as the important person. "Who is that?""I will let you know when the time comes," he answered. "So what is your next plan?" Steph asked, worried about her brother and at the same time, glad he wasn't having so much anger that she thought would ruin him. "I will be visiting the safe very soon. I think my money is long over due there," he answered. "Are you crazy!" Steph and Maryjane chorused at the same time, with their eyes popped open. "Why would you plan to do that when you know the situation surrounding you?" Dr Thompson asked. "I won't be able to do this on my own. I will need all your help but you don't have to worry, no one would be in danger because this. I have a plan and

Allen looked intently but found nothing. He drew his brows and looked at the old man. "What do you want me to see there? There is nothing except water," he answered. "Look carefully."Allen strained his eyes, trying to see what he was talking about but there was nothing. Was the old man imagining something there? It could be possible because his sight most have gone bad, he thought."There is nothing there," He answered, confident about it.The old man clicked his tongue and gave him a light got on his shoulder. "That is what you think. It is because you allow your eyes are what you want it to see. Look deeper and you will find what I am showing you."Allen looked closely and it took a while before he saw something floating on the water. "What is that?" He asked. "That is something I put on the water. Don't worry, I will get it out," he answered and laughed. Allen wondered why he didn't notice t at first. The old man laughed to his heart content and faced him again. "You see, not

Allen drove down the road, heading for his villa. His first mission for the day was accomplished and that was getting Mr Benson to his side. Getting the others would be easy. He suddenly took a different turn, heading for the beach instead. "Why are you going to the beach?" Ultimate asked. "I need a time to myself. I have a lot going on and all I can think of right now is bringing the project Erubus society down. My anger is really overwhelming me and now, I am really worried," he answered and let out a deep breath. "Every one keeps telling me to calm down and not make wrong decisions because of my emotions. I think they are right. I need to calm down so I can handle this mission as calmly as I can.""That's a great step, Allen. Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, hostility towards someone, usually with an urge to harm. It's good you decide to calm yourself down."Allen laughed at how ultimate read out the meaning of anger to him. He focused his attention on the road until he
