His heart pounded in his chest, a mix of adrenaline and fear coursing through his veins.He could hear the sounds of sirens in the distance, and the wailing of police cars as they raced towards the scene. But he knew he had a head start, knew that he could outrun them if he was fast enough.He reached the edge of the lawn, his eyes darting around for any signs of pursuit.The man sprinted towards the street, his footsteps pounding on the pavement as he raced towards the car that waited for him. He could see the driver inside, the engine idling in anticipation.The street was deserted, the lights from the passing cars casting a ghostly glow on the pavement.

Marcel heard the mild yet awakening knock on the door, “perhaps did they get it?” He said under his breath, he went closer to the door, leaning in, looking through the tiny hole made in the door, and squinting his eyes, he saw the two men standing outside, one holding a rusty dumpster.He swiftly opened the door “Come inside, quickly” he said to them in a low tone urging them to move faster, as they walked in, he quickly closed the door behind them as swiftly as he could caring nonetheless if they were followed or not.“Do you have it?” Marcel asked, swallowing a lump in his throat “Only for you boss” the man said dropping the dumpster bucket onto the ground and bringing out the valued safe, Marcel looked at both of them, “Gentlemen, let’s walk further” he said signaling that they could walk into the fairly lit corridor.For an abandoned building, it sure looked lively, new if thought of it calmly, the man looked at Marcel, his eyes wandering “Don’t be frightened, it’s quite safe here

David’s eyes searched through the room, he wasn’t sure what he was looking for or what to look for, was it Allen? He thought to himself “Maybe I was too harsh with my words” David said looking out the window, the painting which hung on the side was somewhat misplaced.He placed his hands behind his back, “Whoever stole that safe has a lot on his plate, I’m sure” he muttered to himself, he also had work to do, he walked back to the seat behind his desk.“Who could have stolen the safe? I hope he finds it and quickly” David said adjusting his seat. He focused on the work on the desk in a way that it would distract him from the main issue at hand, he didn’t want to worry too much about the safe, judging from Allen’s determination, he will be able to find the thief, he thought to himself.“May I come in?” The solemn voice asked, instead of a knock, Mary would rather let the men hear her captivating voice “You may” David answered, his voice in distraught.“I see you haven’t been getting en

Allen couldn’t believe his eyes, even his ears felt too deaf to understand “Why does everyone desire Ultimate so badly, maybe that’s the reason, he chose me” Allen said, his eyes accepting who had stood before him.His hands tied vehemently to the chair “Blindfold him again” the lady said, her voice resounding “Yes ma’am” the scruffy man said taking out a dark piece of clothing to cover Allen’s eyes and putting a piece in his mouth to muffle his speech.“No one must know that he is here, I’ll be back for him,” she said walking off into the darkness. Allen was now in the hands of the enemy and may soon meet his end, being betrayed by a comrade made his heart ache even when all he could see was nothingness and darkness.The brightness burned into his eyes, Allen opened them again, his heart ached, and his body struggled to move the blindfolds were opened, and he could hear the guard's distant chatter, “Is he the one that has the so-called Ultimate?” One of the guards at the door asked w

Allen’s home had felt empty all day with him gone, his sister had begun to worry, Stephanie kept moving from room to room in futile effort to find her brother.“Is my brother home yet?” She asked one of the maids “No not yet, my lady” the lady said, her eyes avoiding Stephanie “I’ve been trying to get to his mobile” she added, her eyes had become teary, “I hope he’s okay, wherever he is” her voice had become shaky.Then the doorbell had been rung, alarming Stephanie “Is that him?” She asked, hope in her voice “It was my fault that he went to look for the thief and till now, he’s not here, that may be him” her eyes with a gleam of hope as she bolted to the door.“Hello” The soothing voice said, the young woman’s face felt too beautiful for Stephanie after opening the door, she took a step back to see who it was but she wasn’t sure if she could recognize the face in front of her.“I’m your brother’s colleague, Mary Jane” she said, stretching her hands forward watching Stephanie’s eyes,

The metal walls would resound anything thrown at them, Mary could feel her hands tied as she struggled “You know tying my hands changes nothing” she said smiling, her face bruised and her skin slightly pale.“That’s why you have the collar on you” the voice emerged from the darkness, she couldn’t see but whoever talked to her could see her quite perfectly and would know her next move.“Huh…collar..arghh” she screamed, David walked calmly from the shadows, his face with disappointment “We have made technology restricting collars for every user, well except Ultimate, I wasn’t so sure as to who would betray our cause,” he said pacing around her in the shackles she had been put in.“You don’t understand,” She said, her voice having a hint of remorse “I did this for us, for all of us” she added looking at David’s cold gaze “You did this for your greed, what made you sure that Ultimate would be at the palm of your hands?” David asked laying low, putting a knee down so he could be at her lev

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
