A Puppet Rise For System Boss Allen 219
"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

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

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

Josh glanced at Allen who had stopped and was standing behind him with his hands folded to his chest, his chin slightly raised. With this pose, Allen appeared more dominant and bossy than Josh could ever imagine. This made him swallow hard as he walked away from the door, giving way to Allen."Who's gonna open the door for me?" Allen asked. This time he was no longer smiling and looked very bossy.Josh immediately glanced around, fearing that his bodyguards would see what was going on. If that happened his reputation would be highly damaged and there was a very big possibility that it would make the headlines! When that happened he wouldn't be able to hold his head high in public settings.Thankfully the bodyguards were still patrolling another part of the corridor so they didn't notice what was happening. This made him secretly heave a sigh of relief as he reached out his right hand to open the door for Allen.Allen didn't say anything as he

"Will Allen be safe?"A soft voice sounded, causing Mary Jane who was absorbed in one of the screens to look over. It was none other than Stephanie. She had a look of worry as if she feared that something would happen to her elder brother."He'll be fine," Mary Jane replied tersely."How are you sure about that?" Stephanie asked. "You're not there with him so how do you know that he'll be fine?"Mary Jane pursed her lips for some time before saying, "Because I trust him.""Because you trust him?" Stephanie couldn't help but repeat what Mary Jane had said. She even felt that she had possibly misheard the young woman.After interacting with Mary Jane, even though it was for a very short period, Stephanie could tell that she was a cold and introverted person. This even made her begin wondering how Mary Jane had become a charismatic person in the first place. This was because the two characters were very much contradictory. Stephanie even felt that Mary Jane had been pretending to be char

Allen stood before the long silver-framed mirror in front of him, staring at his reflection in silence. His eyes were deep and his expression complicated. It was unknown what he was thinking about by just looking at his face. But what he was thinking about was just simple. Or did it appear simple even when it was very hard?After being captured by Project Erebus, Allen was tortured in various ways in the name of experiments. He had been punctured, electrocuted, drowned, and beaten. He had gone through several tools and devices just for the scientists from Project Erebus to grasp how the body of a player worked. Then they had tried to feed his consciousness to the project they were working on. He remembered clearly that it seemed to have living characteristics even though it was not capable of individual thought.During this time Project Erebus had used several means to forcibly seize all his properties and businesses. They did this so that Allen Scott's existe

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
