"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

After getting rid of his thoughts about taking over Josh's company, he took a deep breath and decided to focus on the mission at hand. This mission was going to determine how he would fare in the future so he decided to put all his seriousness and efforts into it. He didn't want to fail the mission and end up incurring the terrifying punishment of losing forty percent of his health instantly. With forty percent health taken, he didn't feel that he would be in an optimal state anymore. And in a state where forty percent of health had been deducted from his life, his condition would rapidly deteriorate.Another reason he couldn't afford to mess up the mission was because of Josh Gregory. This young celebrity, despite being a playboy who was into womanizing so much, was a player regardless. He was a very important aspect in defeating Project Erebus, wiping them from existence. He needed all the players he could get on his side to make this possible."Everything seems so complicated even

Allen racked his brain as he tried to consider if he should agree with the Ultimate system's proposal of trading the reward he would receive after completing his mission for the Suit of Dominance.The wheel of fortune was something that allowed him to get rewards just by spinning it. Sometimes he might even get a legendary item twenty times more powerful than the Suit of Dominance which he wanted to choose!Hence he was in a dilemma about the Ultimate system's proposal. He couldn't even make up his mind at the moment and could only let out one deep breath after the other."As my host you have several benefits than other players," the Ultimate system said. "This transaction is fairer than anything else. Of course, you can choose not to accept it and wait till you complete the mission."I'm not strong enough! Allen screamed inwardly as he folded his hands to his chest. How am I very sure that I would even complete the mission? If I don't buy this Suit of Dominance right now and fail the

Josh Gregory was in his room going through several documents on the table. His expression was extremely heavy as he thought about his shares which he was going to sell to Allen Scott. Although he had decided to willingly give up his shares, there was still this feeling of pain in his heart.After some moments of looking at the documents he let out a deep sigh as he said, "Well, this is for my good. Compared to one small company, knowing the truth about systems and players is greater. Perhaps I can reclaim more wealth. No, no, I will reclaim more wealth...""Stop giving yourself false confidence," he soon heard a familiar ancient voice in his head, causing his facial muscles to twitch."Why do you always make comments like this?" Josh couldn't help but ask. "Is this how all the systems behave?""You should be thankful I behave like this," the Super system said within Josh's mind. "The other systems are not like this, especially the Prime system. They'd only take the initiative to commu

Allen walked out of his bedroom after completing his transaction with the Ultimate system, heading into the corridor. He wanted to meet with Josh Gregory and tell him to change his bedroom to somewhere he would easily monitor Josh and protect him from the second attack of the Project Erebus agent who had attacked earlier.He was met with a bodyguard who sized him up quizzically. It was as if he was using his eyes to ask Allen Scott where he was heading to when he should be staying in his bedroom.It seems these guys don't still know I'm Allen Scott, Allen thought to himself as he also sized up the bodyguard. He then said in a very calm voice, "I want to meet Josh Gregory."He pronounced the name so casually that the bodyguard in front of him couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He was wondering why the visitor in front of him didn't show any respect for the boss. From his tone to his bearing, he seemed as if he was equal to the boss."The boss is in his room resting," the bodyguard repl

Allen found a chair and sat down, crossing his legs as he placed his hands behind his head. Of course, Josh didn't mind and took his seat behind the desk as he pretended to flip through some documents."You don't have to be very afraid that I'm gonna take over your company," Allen said calmly as he sat upright."Huh?" Josh was shocked. How did he know that I'm afraid that he's gonna take over my company?"Don't act as if I'm a genius for knowing your fears," Allen said with a scoff. He was just short of rolling his eyes as he added, "After I've completed my initial goal of reviving my company, I'll remit your company to you."Josh heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. He had thought that Allen had coveted his company and was trying to take over it. After hearing about hosts chosen by the Ultimate system for being domineering, Josh felt that this wouldn't be the worst outcome he would face. He had felt that perhaps Allen would even plan on taking over all his properties.Hence, w

After moments of waiting a bodyguard soon came to knock on the door, announcing that Josh's lawyer was already there. This made Allen smile inwardly, almost urging Josh to hurry and ask the lawyer to come in immediately."Please tell her to come to the study," Josh told the bodyguard who nodded as he left immediately.Hold up, why does it seem that you're closer to the lawyer than I think? Allen narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized Josh. But he didn't sense an abnormal expression from the latter. Hence, he stopped looking at the playboy who was also the Super system host.In a couple of minutes, they heard a knock on the door. Without hesitating Josh asked the person outside the come in. Immediately the door clicked open, revealing a young woman in her 20s. She was dressed in a formal suit tailored for women, her expression extremely stern. Her eyes were narrowed as if she was used to scowling a lot.The young woman swept a glance at Josh before opening her mouth, "Good day, Sirs."No

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,
