A few minutes later Leah was seated in the sitting room facing Josh who continuously caressed his wristwatch as he stared at her. There was no one in the sitting room as Josh had already ordered all the bodyguards to stay outside. Even James wasn't allowed inside, making this burly man very sullen. He had wanted to protest but a glance from Leah made him do otherwise. Although he wasn't pleased with the way things were going, he could only keep shut and stand outside."I heard you wanted to interview me," Josh said, still maintaining a very warm smile."That's true, Sir," Leah said. "I've been yearning to interview you for a very long period of time now. Sitting in front of you right now seems like a dream."Hearing the young journalist's reply, Josh chuckled, "As expected. Your eloquence is something worth praising.""I'm very much flattered, Sir," Leah smiled. "But then my eloquence is nowhere close to yours. After all, you're rumoured to make women do your best with just words.""I

Allen woke up very late and he couldn't help but cuss Project Erebus for this. This was because he felt they were the ones who made him tensed up throughout the day. Thus, he couldn't even have a moment of rest except for the time they sat down for dinner. Before yesterday he had been acting mad to avoid Project Erebus from immediately capturing him, pretending that he had already fallen under their control.I never thought that the world would be so messed up, he thought to himself as he stretched lazily on the bed. He felt reluctant to stand up and start his day. It was when he heard a series of knocks on the bedroom door that he stood up grudgingly and walked towards the door."You guys won't let me sleep like I feel," he muttered to himself as he went to open the door. "In my mansion, I would have been sleeping anyhow I like. No one would have been able to knock on my door in that manner."Well, except of course Stephanie, Allen added inwardly as he opened the door. She's the one

After taking his bath Allen immediately got dressed up and went to the dining room where he saw the others already seated. They had this look of anticipation as if they couldn't wait to try another of Mary Jane's delicacies. Of course, Mary Jane wasn't at the table as she was in the kitchen preparing breakfast."Good morning, Sir.""Good morning, Allen."It was George and Stephanie who greeted him respectively. The former sounded very polite and respectful, making Allen to be slightly ashamed of himself. This was because he had been disregarding this young man up to this moment.I don't think he's that bad, he thought to himself as he nodded to their greetings. Except for him trying to woo my sister, he's good in other aspects."Morning," Allen finally responded verbally as he sat down. "How was your sleep, Stephanie?"Stephanie smiled before replying, "My sleep was nice. I had sweet dreams."It should be about George, Allen added inwardly as his expression almost turned sour but he c

After some moments Mary Jane averted her gaze and pointed at a large tray on the table before saying, "That's breakfast."She then turned around and walked out of the kitchen, slamming the door behind her. This left Allen stumped as he began wondering what he had done wrong."These days I don't seem to understand women," Allen muttered to himself as he went to carry the large tray containing several bowls. "It seems all the women have agreed to change. And that's a bad thing for me."He walked out of the kitchen and saw that everyone except Mary Jane had skeptical looks. He bet they were thinking that something had happened between them in the kitchen.But we just stayed there for a few seconds, Allen protested inwardly as he placed the tray on the table and sat down with a sullen expression. He began wondering whether this was a safe house or a torture zone.Mary Jane sighed as she took out plates and opened the bowls. Instantly fragrant and sweet aromas wafted into the dining room.

Meanwhile, Josh was still chatting with Leah whose face was now appearing very flushed as if she had been wooed by every word that came from the playboy's mouth. Of course, Josh didn't mind because such types of expressions from women brought him a great deal of delight. It was something that gave him a very pleasant feeling."I still have a series of other questions to ask," Leah said as she took out a small notebook and pen. She decided to pretend to write so that Josh Gregory wouldn't suspect that she already had a micro camera. If she were to actively ask Josh a bunch of questions without jotting anything down, the celebrity would be indeed suspicious.Leah believed there were intelligent people with a great memory but she felt that even they would decide to jot down things when interviewing a celebrity. I mean, who would believe them if they casually retold the answers from the interview to their bosses? Hence, the best way was to jot down things so that there would be at least t

With his Clairvoyance Josh was able to tell that there was someone dangerous in his mansion and this person wanted to harm him. Thus he became vigilant immediately and couldn't bear to relax around this journalist called Leah. On a random day, he would have immediately led Leah to his bedroom to sleep with her. But today was different because he had started having an ominous feeling since Leah came to the sitting room with him. No, the ominous feeling didn't start at that moment. It started when Leah and her colleague, James had come close to him. That was the moment he had started having that ominous feeling.A normal person would have decided to escape immediately with his bodyguards but he wasn't like that. If he decided to escape then it would give the other party a chance to tell that something was wrong with him. That would make the other party take more drastic measures to harm him. Hence he decided to keep calm and think thoroughly before taking any actions. He would silently

James was an undercover agent from Project Erebus who had been given the mission to capture Josh Gregory who was suspected of being a player. Project Erebus had suddenly taken Josh Gregory to heart when he suddenly rose from the trenches, becoming a very famous celebrity in a couple of months. This made them very suspicious and felt he could likely be a player. So they decided not to waste any time and capture him before Mary Jane and Allen got to him. They had already taken two potential Evolved to an unknown place so they couldn't afford to be careless anymore.If Josh Gregory was proven not to be a player, he would still serve a purpose by feeding his consciousness to the system they were trying to create. And if it was proven that Josh Gregory was a player, it would be very great! While gradually affecting his subconscious so that he would enter a semi-insane state, they would access the Super system which was hidden in his subconscious. Then they would feed it to the system they

Josh didn't rush to fight Leah as he suspected that someone was remotely controlling her from somewhere to attack him. If he rashly fought her and ended up injuring or even killing her when she wasn't the main assailant, then things would be bound to develop in an ugly direction. Hence he decided not to fight her or even call his bodyguards. What if he ended up alerting the main assailant, making him slip away? If that happened then he wouldn't be able to sleep in peace because he would have to live in constant fear of the assailant. He wouldn't be able to even sleep well or do things normally."Who are you?" Josh asked as he observed Leah whose eyes were firmly on him. "And how did you get in here?""That doesn't matter since you're going to be captured," Leah said. "Why bother telling you when you'll know the truth at the facility?"When Josh heard Leah reply to him, he captured two keywords. They were 'captured' and 'facility'. He couldn't help but crease his eyebrows, wondering wh

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
