"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 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
