The following morning, Allen awoke with a satisfied yawn, savoring the plush bedding for a few moments before reluctantly rising. He had slept better than he had in months, and the thought of leaving the luxurious guest suite was enough to make his heart sink.But he knew he couldn't linger. Steven was expecting him to depart, and it wouldn't do to overstay his welcome. The alcohol had dissipated from his eyes and he could think now. He remembered that Steven had mentioned something about the house being purchased for him. He was pressed to ask Steven who had paid for the house for him but he thought it wise to let it slide. He made his way down the staircase, his footsteps echoing through the grand foyer. Steven was waiting for him, a polite smile on his face."Thank you for having me, Steven," Allen said, shaking the man's hand. "It was quite an experience.""You're very welcome," Steven replied, his voice as smooth as silk. "I trust you had a pleasant stay?""Oh, yes," Allen said

Allen stared into oblivion for a long while. He had delved into his pool of thoughts as he pondered over what Ultimate had informed him. "Lose everything?" Allen muttered under his breath, a feeling of dread settling inside him. "No way!" He said aloud. "I can't possibly go back to how I was. My mother died because I couldn't pay for her treatment and my sister was kidnapped and ill-treated just because of me, I won't settle for poverty.""I'm going to find those sunglasses no matter what it takes me and I'm going to get back at everyone who ever treated me like trash," Allen said with a newfound resolve as he immediately walked out of the house, with his destination in mind. He shoved his hands into his pocket as he walked down the street. To get to where Stephanie was, would take him a long while but he wanted to walk to take his time and clear his head. He got to the house and met Stephanie alone on the porch. The moment she set eyes on Allen, her countenance changed showing tha

As Allen stormed back to his house, he fumed all the way, not caring if anyone stopped to look at him raging like an angered best which they did. "I'll show Stephanie." He blurted out like a spoilt child. "I'm going to prove to her that I'm not into anything shady and all my money is legit. "But first I have to leave this shack of a home," Allen said to himself and finally got to his house after several minutes of walking, he finally got to his destination. He barged in through the door and immediately started gathering his things. —Don't slam your door too hard or you might bring it down—"I'm not in the mood to talk right now, Ultimate." Allen blurted out and there was silence immediately save for the pushing of furniture and scraping of luggage on the floor. After some seconds, Allen suddenly stopped and lifted his gaze from what he was doing at hand. "You keep quiet!"—Wasn't that what you asked me to do?— Ultimate questioned sarcastically. Allen shook his head and turned bac

Allen stepped into the car dealership, filled with excitement and anticipation. He was excited that he could finally buy his dream carBut as he approached the salesperson, a slick-looking man in an expensive suit, Allen's confidence started to waver. The man's eyes slid over Allen from head to toe, and he felt his cheeks flush with embarrassment as Allen realized the man was judging him based on his worn-out sneakers and faded jeans."Good afternoon, sir," the man said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. As Allen approached the salesman, it was clear that the man was not impressed by his appearance. Dressed in a worn-out t-shirt and ripped jeans, Allen was a stark contrast to the salesman's crisp suit and shiny shoes."Good afternoon, sir," the salesman said, a hint of disdain in his voice. "Can I help you?"Allen tried to sound confident, but his voice quivered a little as he spoke. "Yes, I'm here to buy a car. A very expensive car."The salesman raised an eyebrow, his skepticism evid

Allen's heart pounded in his chest as he stared at the steaming plate of lasagna before him. It wasn't just about the food anymore; it was about trust, about vulnerability. His hand trembled slightly as he wrestled with the conflicting emotions swirling inside him. Memories of how Valerie had treated him in the past flickered through his mind like a slideshow, each one a sharp pang of pain reminding him of the wounds Valerie had inflicted. How could he possibly be entangled with someone who made him lose his job and due to that, he was unable to raise any money to pay for his mother's hospital bills and free his sister from the clutches of those despicable loan sharks? Could he dare to believe that this time might be different? That perhaps, just perhaps, Valerie had changed? Or was he setting himself up for yet another fall, another crushing disappointment?As he hesitated, Allen couldn't help but wonder if he was overthinking things. Maybe it was just lasagna, after all. But deep

One afternoon, Stephanie set off towards Serenity Crest Estate, her thoughts racing with questions and doubt. She couldn't believe that her brother, Allen, had moved into such an affluent neighborhood. She had thought that he was lying about the whole issue of buying a house at Serenity Crest estate but when she passed by his house, she saw that the building had already been taken down as it was not fit for a human to live in. She made up her mind to immediately confirm it herself as she was already hearing things from people close to herself that he had moved out. The estate, after all, was home to the wealthiest individuals in the country. Yet, if the rumors circulating about her brother were true, he was indeed living there.As she approached the gated entrance of the estate, her heart raced with a mix of curiosity and unease. The imposing iron gates seemed to symbolize the divide between the rich and the rest of the world.Stephanie took a deep breath and stepped forward, she to

Allen ushered her into the house himself while his assistant trailed behind them ogling at the way the siblings were all over each other. Allen quickly ordered a maid to whip something for Stephanie to eat since she was coming from a pretty far distance. "You have a maid now?" Stephanie asked, expressing her surprise. "Well yes," Allen answered. "I've got quite a lot of hands to help around here," he said, gesturing to the house. "How can you afford to pay them?" She asked again. "Well I can," he answered again as if he had already gotten used to the life of luxury but the fact was that he couldn't be everywhere at once and the work in the house was overwhelming. "The food is ready sir," the maid, Allen had instructed to prepare food for Stephanie. Stephanie spun her toward Allen. "They even refer to you as sir, Allen!" Stephanie said in a playful tone and Allen roared out with laughter. "it's not my fault. I wanted to get them to stop calling me that but they won't, so I just

"You haven't told me who that is?" Stephanie asked when they were back in the living room. "Who?" "The man who walked in before me," Stephanie said to him. "Oh him, that's my business partner, we have some kind of meeting," Allen informed her. "Just the two of you?" Stephanie's curiosity was piqued as she shot her eyes open at Allen wondering how he had gotten to the stage where he was now business partners they even breezed in and out of the house like they were housemates but she knew that was not the fact. As she waited for Allen to respond to her question, she tried to remember what the man had looked like. She couldn't exactly place a finger on his facial features but she remembered that the man had worn a very stern look the moment he got out of the car. The look on his face had scared her to the marrow. "No, me and a few other people," Allen said in a way that made Stephanie look at him suspiciously. She moved closer to him, hoping that the others around wouldn't hear wh

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,

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 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
