When Morgana grabbed her from behind Stephanie didn't show much fear as before. It seemed she had become used to being threatened and didn't shudder as she used to do. She could feel something hard and cold touching her back, and her heart beating rapidly."I would stop if I were the both of you," Morgana said, staring at Allen who was holding a round black device. His finger was suspended over a button after hearing Morgana's voice."Whatever you're gonna do will eventually affect your poor little sister," Morgana said. "She would end up dying and there would be nothing you'd be able to do.""Then what are you waiting for?" Stephanie suddenly said. "What the fuck are you waiting for? Why don't you go ahead and kill me?"Morgana scoffed as she pulled on Stephanie's hair, dragging her backward, "I hate bold types like you. The only thing I love about them is the way they all die by my hands."She was still talking and everyone's attention was on her. No one noticed the SWAT team member

After killing Morgana, Mary Jane didn't intend to celebrate yet. There in a couple of seconds, there would be an explosion that would swallow everyone. Dr. Thompson was still trying his best to hold on until all of them left.After Morgana was killed, the SWAT team member who had been holding his head recovered and stood up slowly. He removed his helmet, taking a very deep breath as he looked around him."We don't have much time," Mary Jane said as she turned to look at Allen. "When is the device activating?"Allen turned to look at the device he had thrown at Morgana. It posed no threat to the Project Erebus agent and was just a ruse to distract her while Mary Jane dealt the fatal blow."It should activate in fifteen seconds," Allen said. "It can teleport a group of people away.""Up to how many people?" Mary Jane asked."It's supposed to be twenty but it's broken," Allen said. He still didn't have enough clearance to purchase real-time fatal items so he could only work with the brok

Seeing that the jet had mysteriously appeared on the roof of a seven-floored building, the SWAT team member and Stephanie couldn't help but show their shock. They had never seen something like this in their entire lives!"How did you do that?" the SWAT team member couldn't help but ask in shock. "How did you just make the jet appear out of thin air? Only gods can do that!"Stephanie turned to look at Allen who was standing beside her, expecting an answer from him. But he only put on a calm smile without saying anything. Only he knew that it was the Prime system that moved the jet here. Mary Jane didn't have such a power to do something as marvelous as that."If you want to know everything," Mary Jane said to the SWAT team member, "then you'll have to come with us to the safe house.""Alright," the SWAT team member replied with a nod. Although he was reluctant to part with everyone he had known in his entire life to follow a group of strangers, he had no other choice than to follow the

The jet flew away, leaving the place quickly. Below them, several police cars appeared but they were too late. Allen and the others were already gone. The cops couldn't help but come out of their cars, looking up in regret.In the jet Allen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, seeing that everything had been over for the day. Danger was no longer looming about and they had even managed to get two Evolved. In his relaxation, he didn't know when he slept off.Except for Dr. Thompson who was still unconscious, the others were wide awake and seemed to be thinking about something. Their gazes were very much focused.Mary Jane was quite relieved that they didn't take the initiative to say anything. She was very tired and didn't have the strength to respond to any questions that they would have asked. Besides she was deep in her thoughts so she couldn't afford to be disturbed.George turned to look at Stephanie who was seated opposite him, his eyes shining with admiration. He would have

George was still thinking and didn't know when he subconsciously clenched his fists. His face had contorted into his frown after knowing that all the teammates he knew had died because of Project Erebus. He was suddenly filled with resentment for this government which was capturing people and using them for experiments. The government was supposed to help its citizens!He let out a deep sigh, probably knowing that he was still too powerless to do anything about Project Erebus. He was now an Evolved himself but he didn't yet know how to use his power. So he decided to first train himself with these people who had come to rescue Stephanie. When he was strong enough he would then go after Project Erebus. Even if it meant killing each member for decades, he had the strong resolve to do it till every member or agent of Project Erebus was wiped out completely from the surface of the earth. They had caused so many deaths and he couldn't lie low and watch them continue to kill people just for

After walking for an hour, Stephanie complained that she was very tired so they had to stop to get some rest. If not for the several large rocks and dangerous terrain, the group would have already gotten far. Due to the various climbing and jumping, the pace of the group was slowed and their physique was pushed to the limit. Only George who was once a member of the SWAT fared better due to the rigorous training he had to undergo."We'll rest here," Mary Jane said, turning to look at the group. All of them were now drenched in sweat, their expressions looking extremely tiring. If not for Stephanie voicing out her tiredness, the group would have continued walking despite being already tired.Thus the group sat down to rest. Allen was the most relieved because he had been carrying Dr. Thompson all along. If not for his being strong, he would have been the first to collapse under the strenuous weight of the doctor. He couldn't help but imagine how someone slim would weigh so much!As they

There was silence for some moments till Mary Jane announced, "Let's get out of here. We can't delay any longer."George who had wanted to ask what players and systems were suddenly became disappointed. But he soon washed away the disappointment because he would be spending time with Allen and Mary Jane who were way more experienced than him. There were several chances in the future to learn several things from them, uncovering the secrets that he had been trying to uncover for a long time now.Allen who had to carry the unconscious Dr. Thompson again couldn't help but flex his sour muscles. He took a very deep breath and made to carry the doctor when George came to his side."Let me help you, boss," George said with a smile. "After coming to save us from death, I feel indebted to you.""You wouldn't have died if Project Erebus had found you," Allen said. "They would have subjected you to various experiments till you finally lose your mind. When that happens you will only know one thin

As the group walked the vegetation around became scarcer and scarcer. Withered trees became more rampant and dying grasses were littered about. The temperature here also became higher than normal, the sun shining very harshly. It almost sucked the air out of their lungs but everyone continued walking. They couldn't afford to end up delaying as that would lead to them being captured by Project Erebus. Their bunch of agents seemed to be somehow everywhere. They had eyes and ears in all corners of the Earth.Mary Jane was the only one talking, her soft voice drilling into the ears of everyone. At least that was what gave the group the strength to continue walking or else they would have already collapsed under the harsh sun."Project Erebus is developing a system," Mary Jane said. "They have already created this consciousness which is capable of thinking on its own. I remember vividly how it seemed like a human.""You saw it?" Allen took the initiative to ask. Mary Jane hadn't mentioned

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
