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

The fierce look Allen had in his eyes as though he didn’t want to ever give up, he clasped his sword with his two hands not minding the damage he could take.He rushed to the giant gripping his sword tighter and going at it without hesitation with all his strength, he pushed through to get to the head of the huge enemy in futile attempts. “I’m not going to die here, I promise myself that I’ll push through till I can’t push anymore” He yelled at the top of his voice alerting the creature.Its huge size made it slower giving Allen an advantage. He swooped in from the branches above swiftly until he hit the weak point, its name, the creature let out a loud cry before falling and turning to dust.“Wow, whatever that was, I’m guessing it’s over,” Allen said panting aggressively, his sword was scathed and immediately broke as he tried to use it for support ‘Quest completed, acquired, 60000 coins, death armor, and unliving sword’ the notification in front of him read.“Woah, that’s a lot of

Leaving the man’s body on the floor, he stealthily walked to his sister’s room, he could hear someone’s footsteps close by, the door flung open, and the kidnapper busted out, Allen had his eyes on him, lunging at him, he rushed at the man dragging him by the throat and placing him on the wall.“Who are you? Who sent you?!!” Allen yelled, his grips strongly holding the man, he dragged him to the living room as he struggled for air, Allen let go of him to see him coughing excessively trying to escape by crawling his way out.“You’re not going anywhere,” Allen said pulling him back by the legs, the maids and servants watched as he held the man without remorse “I won’t repeat myself,” Allen said removing the mask “Who are you and who sent you?” Allen asked getting more agitated as he held the man with one hand.The man with little or no option pulled out a knife, aimed at Allen’s neck, his strike was deflected due to Allen’s fast thinking, and Allen’s left hand pushed the knife outwards d

The morning sun rays pierced through the curtains and laid on his face, Allen woke up, his hands trying to shield his eyes from the rays, it was a futile attempt, he stood up reluctantly, checking the time on his phone.“David’s expecting me, it’s 9 am already!!” Allen panicked, checking the notification on his phone ‘At Cecil restaurant’ it read, it was a message from David giving the location for their meeting.“I need to be somewhere this morning,” Allen said to Stephanie “Once I leave, don’t open or answer the doors except it’s me” he added. He noticed she still fidgeted, she calmly nodded for approval, Allen quickly rushed into the bathroom, trying to have his bath.After the morning cold bath, Allen got in his outfit, the same one as the day before because they didn’t have time to pack any clothes or any belongings. Stephanie still felt scared, her eyes were pale, her brother called in for some food even before she finished her bath, and had dresses for her.After Stephanie had

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
