Allen watched Valarie offer herself a seat on the couch “You haven’t answered me?” He looked at her, his wet hair leaving strands on his face, he looked as though he kept his anger just in check.“So can’t I be in the house of my future husband?” She asked rhetorically, her eyes watching his reaction “I would rather have death have my skin than become your husband” Allen said, clenching his fist.“Why do you despise me so?” She stood up walking closer to him, her fingers seemed to move faster than any parts of her, her fingers had begun to run on the surface of his bare chest where the robe had left open.“You have no right to me, go back to your father,” Allen said grabbing her hand “You’re not welcome here,” he said dropping her wrist “And the next time that you’re bold enough to be here, I’ll make sure your father won’t see ur ashes” he said walking off “Leave!” His voice resounded throughout the living room.“Don’t you want to know who your colleague’s accomplice was?” She asked,

“I ran as soon as you called, what is it?” William asked “Please sit” he offered David, noticing that he too came running “Ultimate, that’s what’s happening” David answered, taking the glass of water in front of him and gulping it down. “What happened?” William asked once more, his voice was calm.Bringing out a set of documents “I had my private investigation on Ultimate’s system” David said “And here’s what I found” showing pictures that were taken in old times, the background was a mix of black and white, the dresses worn by the persons seated there were quite old fashioned.William took the picture “That’s Allen, where did your source find it?” He asked him looking puzzled “He’d rather not tell, I never ask him about his sources but when I did, he wouldn’t tell me,” David said his eyes were calm yet they showed signs of fear.“It dates back to the 1870s,” William said tracing his hands on the faces of the people in the picture “How would you know that?” I felt a strong hunch towar

David’s legs had begun to pace around, his body felt uneasy and his eyes were fixed on the door awaiting Allen’s arrival, his hands folded, he wasn’t sure what news Allen would bring.“Sir, Mr Allen is here to see you,” the young woman at the door said softly “Let him in” David answered, his voice deep as he sat down. Allen walked in calmly, his face not showing any expression “Good morning Sir” he said walking to his desk and giving him a handshake.The two men exchanged pleasantries “Please, have a seat” David said gesturing that Allen should have the seat in front of him “Thank you” Allen answered having a seat while adjusting his suit.“Well then, to business, what is it that couldn’t wait” David asked as though he hadn’t cared for the information “I felt that I should tell you this, as you know, I’m still trying to get used to the system,” Allen said in a low tone.“But something happened today, something not in the books you had given me, I thought it to be rare and maybe you wo

Adam watched his son as he waited patiently for his father’s response “How dare you come here?” Allen asked again his eyes glaring at his father.“What do you mean by that son? Am I not allowed into your home?” He asked, his eyes had become teary “Well, did you think to come back, before my mother died? No, so why are you back here?” Allen asked not wanting to get his explanation.“Who let them in?” Allen asked, the maids bowing their heads to avoid his wrath “I did, brother” Stephanie said coming from the kitchen “And why? Our father is dead to us, remember? He abandoned us to get with his mistress and birth that thing there” Allen said agitatedly.“He’s still our father,” she said almost in a yell “Well he’s not my father, I can guarantee that,” He said before walking off “Oh, and Steph, you’re handling them, that includes his wife and daughter but they better be gone before I’m awake from my nap” he added storming off to his room.“Please have a seat,” Stephanie said, her eyes wit

The clear morning skies seemed beautiful from the window, Allen had woken up happy and somewhat fulfilled, the last few days had taken a toll on his body and now he was ready to rest.“Allen, breakfast!!” Stephanie said in a high tone “You seem to be happy cooking” Allen said rushing down to the kitchen “Why won’t you let the maids cook instead?” He asked her taking a slice of bread in his mouth.“And you seem happier this morning, seems like someone woke up on the right side of the bed this time around,” she said smiling, serving her brother some of the omelets she had made.“Well, I do feel a bit energetic, after meeting Adam and his family yesterday, I realized that what goes around does come around,” he said, having a sip of the cup of tea on the table.“Oh come on brother, we’ve talked about this” Stephanie said rolling her eyes as she spread the butter on the bread “Father is still family,” she said “He didn’t consider us family when mother was ill,” Allen said stuffing his mout

Allen smiled as he entered his car, his hands firm on the steering “Ultimate does have a large range of powers, even I’m shocked” he said to himself smiling.“Good morning Allen” The voice on the speaker said, “Good morning, Mr David, how may I help you?” Allen inquired thinking to himself the reason why he was called so early.“Is there anything different you’ve noticed about Ultimate?” David asked, his voice wasn’t so clear “Uh no, I haven’t seen anything that could be strange, is anything the matter?” Allen responded trying to hide the fact that Ultimate had indeed changed, more like upgraded.“Oh okay, if there’s anything that seems strange, do not hesitate to let me know,” David said before hanging up the phone. Allen drives his car thinking, ‘What could he have meant by different? He doesn’t know that I now have new powers as well, does he suspect me?” Allen thought to himself.“I don’t think he’s telling you the truth,” William said calmly watching David “Allen wouldn’t lie, re

Allen sat on the couch, a hand across his face, in a moment of thought ‘Did Ultimate know about the guy in the dark? Who is he trying to show me?’ Allen thought to himself, his eyes wandering about the room.“Please have some tea” William suggested placing the cup right in front of him “Thank you” Allen replied, taking the cup to his lips “So what is the auspicious occasion?” Allen asked smiling “Oh I just called you so we could have a little chat” William replied crossing his legs.“But we’ve never even talked to each other, so truly I wonder, what do you want?” Allen asked putting the cup of tea back on the table. “It’s not as though I have been avoiding you, we’re always busy, I for one have a business to run” William replied, not answering his questions just yet.“Well, I think the system has begun to have some glitches,” William said as he stood up trying to adjust the painting close by. “I thought that was just a one-time thing” Allen answered not giving in to his suspicion that

“David, I think something’s wrong with Allen Scott,” William said as he held the phone up to his ear while the other hand was on the steering “He’s not telling us something, something important” William continued “I’m heading over to you right now” He said before hanging up the phone to focus on the road.“What is it now Allen, what have you done?” David muttered to himself while he paced around his kitchen counter. He had become a bit suspicious about Allen but it seemed as though William had a better theory and suspects him even more now.“You’re welcome, please come in,” David said gesturing that William could come and have a seat, closing the door right behind him, William had a seat “I had a little conversation with Allen, a bit heated though but yeah,” He said immediately his body touched the chair.“What happened?” David inquired, his voice sounding a bit distressed and even desperate to know if their suspicions were true. “I asked him a few questions about what he thought of t

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
