The sun was shining very glaringly, causing the sands in the desert to become very hot. Even when Allen was wearing combat boots he could feel the heat of the sun seep through the soles of the boots, searing his underfoot. He was heading to the location which had been given to his driver. He wasn't stupid enough to give him the location of Mary Jane's hideout. This was because he was afraid that the Project Erebus agents might be even monitoring the Allen Mansion in his absence and might take the initiative to tail his driver.It wasn't that he was suspicious about his driver's loyalty. No, he wasn't. Mark was a very loyal person who would never betray him under normal circumstances. But then he couldn't take any chances knowing fully well that Project Erebus had several Evolved under them. It was unknown which strange abilities they would employ to put Mark under their control. Hence he decided to choose another location so that in case Project Erebus agents were following him, he wo
Just as James opened his eyes, he saw several bodyguards rushing past him into the sitting room where he had attempted to assassinate Josh Gregory. No one paid him any attention as they all entered the sitting room like a tidal wave. This made it easy for him to escape from the mansion immediately. He knew that although no one suspected that he was the assailant due to him sleeping the whole time when Josh was being attacked, he couldn't underestimate James's Clairvoyance ability. It was something he couldn't guard against so the best thing he needed to do at this moment was to escape immediately.Slowly he stood up and pretended to take a walk out of the longue. He didn't run as that would alert the other bodyguards who were still guarding outside of the mansion. Although his Possession ability was great he couldn't afford to be careless because of that. This was because he knew the weakness of his Possession ability. Once he possessed someone, his main body would slump to the ground
After inviting Allen into the mansion, Josh asked his bodyguards to keep watch outside. Since the visitor in front of him already knew about the Super system and had come formally, he felt that the young man didn't bear any evil intent. At least he didn't look evil and had a calm expression with a warm smile.Wait...why are his eyes like that? Josh couldn't help but ask himself. He's looking at me as if he's way higher than me. Who's he exactly and what gives him the courage to view me in this manner? After all, I'm the Super system's host.At that time the Super system spoke within his mind, "You still are as proud and arrogant as ever. You won't change even though the word ends."Josh's expression almost twisted when he heard that but he ultimately controlled it. His expression remained proud but he smiled at Allen who was already disguised as another person."Don't you offer drinks to your guests?" Allen chuckled. "You should at least give me a proper welcome. Stop acting all bossy
"You, get that cameraman!" Josh ordered a bodyguard. "No one is to be spared in this.""Yes Boss!" the bodyguard bowed as he immediately went out to the longue where the cameraman had been sleeping. When he got there he saw that there was no cameraman. This made him alarmed as he rushed outside to inform the other bodyguards who were patrolling outside of the mansion."Did you see the cameraman who had entered the longue with the female journalist?" he asked with an alarmed expression, not hiding it so that the other bodyguards would understand the severity of the situation."He just left..." one of the bodyguards responded, scrutinizing his colleague in the process. "Is there any problem?""The female journalist attempted to assassinate Boss!" the bodyguard revealed instantly without mincing words."What?!" all of them screamed at the same time in shock. They couldn't have imagined that someone as beautiful like that would have the tendencies of being an assassin."Just tell me, did

Allen didn't speak as he fell into deeper thought, The Ultimate system gave me a mission to get a player before a Project Erebus agent does. I'm now here with Josh but there is still no notification that I've completed the mission. This is very strange.Allen was still thinking when he received a notification at that moment, causing his muscles to tense.Ding![DUE TO AN UNFORESEEN EVENT THE MISSION HAS BEEN UPDATED][MISSION UPDATE: PROTECT JOSH GREGORY FOR FOUR DAYS WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL AID][REWARD: ×1 CHANCE TO SPIN WHEEL OF FORTUNE][PUNISHMENT: 50% REDUCTION IN HEALTH]Seeing the mission update Allen couldn't help but frown, failing to conceal his expression in front of Josh.I wonder what he's thinking within himself, Josh observed Allen for some time but he ultimately didn't say anything. He didn't want to be rude and interrupt the man's thoughts. Perhaps he was thinking of something very important that was crucial to the existence of his supersystem.After some moments Allen'
Josh fell silent for some moments, thinking about how to make the correct choice. If he didn't agree to Allen's request to be allowed to purchase the biggest shares in his company then he would naturally make an enemy out of him. And from what he had seen on the news alone, Allen wasn't someone to be trifled with. He was extremely wealthy before he became insane, having several estates and companies in his name. Even though all these estates and companies had been seized, he still had a very expensive mansion worth five hundred million dollars! On the other hand, if he agreed to Allen's request he would lose a lot of wealth and fame.Hence Josh was very much conflicted and didn't know what choice to make. He even took deep breaths to calm himself and clear his head so that he would make the right decision.Allen didn't pressure him as he asked, "What is the name of your system?""It's called the Super system," Josh replied honestly."Oh," Allen said. "I've met another player and she i
The assailant from before belongs to the group of enemies who want to harm Allen Scott. This assailant also works as an agent for that terrifying group. He was sent by them to kill me?Several questions rang through Josh's mind but he couldn't bring himself to ask Allen who had made it clear that he wouldn't be revealing more important information to him. He could only control himself as he decided to wait to ask the Super system when Allen was no longer present."Why would those groups of people target me?" Josh asked immediately. "I mean, I've not done anything to offend them. Besides I haven't met you up till now so it wouldn't be that I was close to you that they attacked me!"Allen revealed a very warm smile but he didn't say anything. He had made it clear that he wouldn't reveal any other information except Josh had finished fulfilling his side of the bargain of selling him the largest share in his company.Josh instantly fell silent and didn't ask Allen any more questions. He s
Immediately Allen heard the sharp sound of the gunshot, he ducked low to the ground, moving around the side of the car to take cover from where the shit came from.His men were already on high alert, moving to cover his position while pulling out weapons of their own.Another gunshot sounded, this time from uncomfortably close, and Allen risked a glance over the side of his car.His men had returned fire towards the direction of the shots, and deep down, Allen knew it was useless.He had seen that the shots were coming from a multistorey building a small distance away. All his men had with them were short-range weapons, which were no match for the weapon that was being used to fire at him.Allen cursed inwardly. It was those damn Project Erebus people again, he was sure of it.He almost chuckled at their audacity, attacking him just when his partnership with Josh Gregory was about to be settled.Speaking of... Where the hell was Josh Gregory? They were being shot at right outside his
“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
After hearing Allen's answer, Miriam took a deep breath as she regained control of her emotions. She then asked, "How do I know you're saying the truth?"Although the man in front of her resembled Allen Scott, she couldn't afford to believe that it was him. Everyone knew that he had suddenly become insane at the height of his power, losing everything that he'd acquired in two years. After then no one had heard from him again. It was as if he had suddenly vanished into the empty void. If not for his sister, Stephanie Scott handling matters then even the last property he had would have been sold off. Of course, she was powerless against the powerful figures who came to acquire all of Allen's properties which included the Allen company."I don't need to prove that I'm Allen Scott," Allen said as he turned to look at Josh, using his eyes to inform him that he should do the talking.Josh immediately understood and took a deep breath before straightening his shirt. He then said with a nod,
