Allen pulled out the sunglass and looked around for the woman but she wasn't anywhere near him.
Strange. How can a sunglass be able to reveal his information and where was the voice coming from? He had a lot of questions running through his head. Rescue his sister? How does the voice know and even the woman, how does she know his sister was taken away and he lost his mother. Realization was finally getting to him and he was bringing everything together. "You don't know what you are about to own. Don't throw away this opportunity," he remember her words as he stared at the strange, old sunglass that looks like it belongs to a waste bin. Could it be an advance technology that knows everything about him? He was willing to rescue his sister and would giving the technology a chance help him out? Having no other choice, he wore back the sunglass and it activated again. -Welcome back user 101, or do you prefer to be called Allen?- the female system voice spoke again. He was fascinated but it wasn't time to keep wondering about the system or anything. "If I choose the second option, how would I get paid?" -Every past users have a safe in Geneva hotel. You will know what to do when you get there.- "And you said I will get the exact amount I need to pay the loan shark off right?" -Yes you will. And not just that, you will have a lot of benefits added to it. For every mission you accept, you will get credited $14,000,000 and for every successful missions, you will get paid $200,000,000 and other properties would be given to you." "I don't really need your money right now. The reason why I would have needed that money is no more. I will just get back my sister and give you back to your owner." -Hmm, I don't think you would want that. Anyway, I am Ultimate or you can call me the name of your crush. I would love to answer that.- the system voice said cheekily but Allen rolled his eyes. "Where is this Geneva hotel and how do I get there? I need to get the money and get my sister back." -Take it slow dude. You can visit the hotel but you can't get the money until six in the morning. That is the only time our users are allowed in.- "As long as you help me with the money before evening, I wouldn't have any problem with that. And also, can you give me the information about that old woman? I need to return this sunglass to her. It doesn't belong to me." -Are you an idiot?- Allen rose a brow. -I am ultimate and can actually swear at you so do not be surprise that I did. Anyway, you are really an idiot. She sold this device to you and you want to return this to her? It is an opportunity to make money and become rich while kicking asses- "I don't need any damn money. I was in need of it hours ago but not anymore." -I see. You hate riches now because of your mother's death?- Allen halted and tightened his fist. He hated rich people instead. Infact, he hated everyone. They all turned their backs away from him. Valerie, the man who fathered him, the loan sharks, the hospital management who keeps the charity money meant for treating those who couldn't afford and so on. -So you are just going to continue living a terrible life with your sister?- Allen said nothing and went on. "Can you provide the information about this hotel you talk about?" -Very well then.- A cab suddenly drove to where he was and the driver popped his head out of the window. "Hey! You called for a cab didn't you?" No he didn't. -I booked an Uber. The driver would take you to the hotel.- Ultimate told him. Allen, without asking any questions, entered the car and the driver drove off. The more the driver drives, the more the cab fees kept increasing. Allen had no money with him and wondered if ultimate would be the one to pay cause he never bargained with the cab. He was suddenly jerked out of his wonder world when the cab came to a halt in front of the hotel. He had thought the hotel was just an ordinary place like every other hotels he had seen. Little did he know he was arriving at a multi billion building. His eyes were widened, threatening to pull out of it sockets as he couldn't take his eyes off the big, magnificent hotel. "I don't have all day here Mr," the cab driver again, brought him back to reality. "Well for the f*e......" -Paid.- Ultimate completed. "How did you?" Allen questioned out loud, forgetting that there was someone with him. "Oh, sorry. I wasn't talking to you," he said to the driver. The driver looked at him as if he was crazy, talking to himself, but he ignored him and faced the road, waiting for the young man to get out of his car. -I paid the money through my system to the cab's driver account. I am at your service but you should thank me later.- Allen came out of the cab and the driver zoomed off immediately. Well for the part, he never expected the hotel to be so classy and wasn't dressed properly. He had thought he would just go in, meet someone and they would take him to the safe in a small hotel. Having his heart filled with pain and grieve, he forgot about his physical pain. The bruised he got from the loan shark when they beat him up. His cloth was tattered and bloodied. Not a good way to visit the hotel. "How do I get the money and leave here immediately?" he questioned. "You have to go through the normal process. But first, you need to get changed or you will get eyes on you." "Right now, I don't care. I need to get the money and go save my sister." He answered and further went in. Luckily for him, the security guard wasn't on post that moment, so he went on until he got to the reception. "Good evening," he greeted the young lady who was busy on a phone call but she took her gaze to him. "Let me call you back please," she said to the person on the other end of the call and disconnected the call. Examining Allen from head to toe, she crinkled her nose. "And how may I help you?" "I was told to come here for a safe. I don't know much details but she said I will find out more about it when I come in here." "Safe? What safe are you talking about?" She questioned, wondering if a mad man had escaped the hospital. "I don't know much details too. Please let me see the manager, he might know what I am talking about." She picked up her telephone and dialed a number. "Hello security, we've got a mad man in the hotel. Come get him out before he causes trouble for our clients," she said to the receiver. Allen's eyes widened even more. "What?""Ma'am you got this all wrong. I am not insane." Or was he? He just listened to a voice and agreed to do as instructed. He never verified the information he got or knew where the sunglass came from. He really was insane. The receptionist said nothing and went on scrolling through her computer. "Ma'am, please just listen to me." He wasn't even sure of what she should listen to. Him telling her that his sunglass has a voice that speaks to him and the voice told him to come over to the hotel to get some money. How crazy.... The securities rushed over and got a hold of his hands, not letting him go. "Take him away and never allow him step into this hotel. This isn't a place for people like him." She instructed the securities and they nodded to her words. "Also remember, do not attract attentions. Our VIPs are coming in today so be careful. Do this quietly." Dragging him with them towards the entrance, a familiar lady walked in and her gaze fell on Allen who was being held tightl
Allen, along with the manager and the receptionist who was watching everything going on, were all taken aback. Mr Edward, not minding how Allen was dressed, took few steps towards him with a huge grin. "Everything has been set down for you." The manager walked forward, "Sir, he came into the hotel to steal and luckily was caught. I am about calling tbe cobs on him." Mr Edward glared at her, "How dare you try to do something outrageous? Do you know who he is? How dare you think about calling the cops? Are you tired of your job already?" he questioned at once, fuming in anger. The manager bowed her head, not uttering any word again. Mr Edward went on. "Why didn't you inform me that our very most important guest was here." Her eyes widened at the hearing of that. Was her boss mistaken? A man looking so poor and wretched, that she was sure was hungry, suddenly is the most important guest they were expecting? Allen was still in shock of what was going on? How did he suddenly became
The driver pulled over in front of the old, almost fallen house. Allen looked at the house which had a lot of memories in it. He grew up in that house with his mother and sister. His mother was dead but her memory lives on. With a heavy heart, he opened the door and came out of it. He wished his mother was alive to see what had happened to him. Why did Ultimate came to him so late? He was so desperate for money but it never came. He sighed deeply and went into the house. -Do you need a new apartment for just today? This house seems like it is collapsing soon.- Ultimate questioned but Allen ignored it and opened the cranky door. Being welcomed by the familiar smell of old furnitures and clay, he tightened his jaw and went in. He quickly walked to the old closet they all shared and brought out a bag from it. Dipping his hand into it, he brought out a flash drive. -What do you plan on doing with that?- "Can you get an excess to the pictures and videos stored in this flashdrive?"
UNFORSEEN CONSEQUENCES As Allen lay on the ground, feeling the discomfort and pain from the fall, he went after the sunglasses, his only connection to Ultimate, his digital ally in this perilous journey. The loan sharks loomed over him blocking the way, their menacing presence casting a shadow over the room. Marcel's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Allen's glasses, a flicker of recognition crossing his face before he masked it with a smirk. "Do you think you can just walk out of here after trying to pull off cheap tricks?" Marcel's voice dripped with malice as he taunted Allen. Ignoring the pain, Allen stood his ground. "I won't leave without my sister" he asserted, his voice unwavering despite the odds stacked against him. Marcel chuckled, a sound that sent shivers down Allen's spine. "You're in no position to make demands little boy" Marcel sneered, his confidence unwavering. But Allen refused to back down. With a surge of determination, he scanned the room as quickly as possible
As Allen stepped out of the crumbling building, a rush of gratitude flooded over him, knowing he had narrowly escaped a potentially fatal fate. He could still hear the loud crashing sounds of the structure collapsing behind him, a chilling reminder of how close he had come to disaster. With each step toward the waiting car, his heart pounded in his chest, a mixture of fear and relief coursing through his veins. The urgency of the situation propelled him forward, his movements quick and decisive. As he reached the car, he practically threw himself inside, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Where are we going?" the driver inquired, glancing at Allen through the rearview mirror. "Take me to my home!" Allen commanded, his voice firm with determination, and With a trembling voice, he ordered the driver to get them far away from the crumbling ruins as fast as humanly possible. Without a moment's hesitation, the driver shifted gears and accelerated in the direction of Allen's residence
"Good heavens, what on earth is going on here?" Allen exclaimed in disbelief as he surveyed the area. Making a beeline for his safe, he anxiously rummaged through its contents, desperately searching for the whereabouts of the copy of the drive he had stashed away. Allen meticulously combed through every corner of the room, methodically checking every possible hiding spot for the drive, but it remained frustratingly elusive. With each passing moment, his worry mounted, gnawing at his insides as the drive continued to evade his grasp. Frustration crept in, mingling with his growing concern, as the realization sank in that the drive was nowhere to be found. Pausing in his search, Allen's mind raced, considering the disturbing fact that someone had broken into his house. He tried to piece together who might have had the motive and means to break into his house and leave the place as an eyesore. "Who could have broken in here?" Allen said aloud, his voice tinged with a mixture of frustr
Allen burst out of the house as if he was being chased by a big and deadly monster. He didn't even take a second to shut the door tight behind him because he knew that Marcel, who could sneak in even when it was locked, would have no trouble getting inside now that it was wide open. Every step he took away from the house made his heart beat faster, and he couldn't shake the feeling of fear that gripped him. Allen quickly scanned both sides of the street, hoping to catch a glimpse of his sister. His heart pounded in his chest as he muttered anxiously, "Where is she? I... I can't see her." The panic in his voice mirrored the frantic search in his eyes as he desperately sought any sign of his sister. —She's in one of those cars.— Ultimate informed him. Allen's head snapped up as he spotted four cars speeding ahead. Without hesitation, he dashed to his car and got into the back seat so that he could communicate with Ultimate as he pleased without drawing the driver's attention. The m
—First mission reactivated— said Ultimate. Allen couldn't take his eyes off the screen. He was super focused, not even blinking. The light from the screen made his face look weird. —Here are two power-ups button, pick one and complete your first mission. And remember if you succeed, your account will be credited with $200,000,000.— Allen suddenly froze, remembering the first day he had found Ultimate. "With determination in his voice, Allen asked, "So what do I do?" His eyes gleamed with anticipation. —The mission is for you to rescue your sister and get those girls back to safety. There are two power-ups to aid your mission. The blue power-up is to increase the speed of the car and get to those cars, the second power up which is the red holds a secret weapon inside— Allen's gaze fixed on the red power-up button displayed on the screen as he pondered its purpose. With a furrowed brow, he asked, "What is the red power-up for?" Curiosity tinged his voice, a hint of apprehensio
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
