Allen was in his new home, far from the troubles of the bubbling town he once stayed in, one that almost got him killed. In his room, he dashed Stephanie’s phone as well for fear of a tracking device or even worse a hidden recorder.He walked downstairs to have breakfast, the night before was quite hectic even for him, his sister was already at the dining table waiting for the chef’s food “Your food is quite tasty, Mrs Hugoi” Stephanie said, her face lighting up.“You like her food, don’t you?” Allen said from the top of the stairs, his night robe leaving his chest bare “I’ll have coffee” he said to the woman with an apron. “Okay sir, and thank you, Miss Stephanie,” the woman said, boiling some water for the coffee being asked for.Allen wanted to enjoy a quiet life, far away from people he knew, even though he missed one person, the girl with ash brown hair and die-shaped eyes, Ellen. Although he hadn’t visited her in a while and currently destroyed his phone, he had a photographic m

David kept pondering about what the man had spoken about, he wasn’t sure he understood fully what he meant but he was serious. David picked up his phone, dialing William’s phone number. He didn’t pick up on the first ring and not even on the second but the third call went through and William answered the phone.“Hello, McKinney, is there a problem?” William asked, “Well I think there is a bit of an issue” David answered, although his voice was low and even calm, his expression wasn’t, it was as though he was scared of some sort.“What is it? I’m sure it’s about Allen” William continued his voice was calm “I’m on my way” he added. On getting to David’s office, he saw the man with hands folded behind his back, his eyes focused on the scenario out of the office window.“I came as soon as I could, what could be the pressing issue?” William asked walking over to David “Master Lincoln was here” David answered, William paused, “What, what does he want?” He asked “We’re going hunting” David a

Allen tried enjoying the nice evening with his sister, constantly staring at the people on the screen, watching a movie “So..how did it go?” Stephanie asked, her face lifted to watch her brother’s reaction.“How did what go?” Allen asked sounding unbothered, his eyes fixed on the television, his fingers in the bowl of popcorn “Are you acting clueless right now?” Stephanie asked, lifting her head from his thighs.“Why are you so curious?” Allen asked, focused on the show in front of him, “Let’s watch the movie, okay?” He said to his sister, her eyes watching him “Anyways, the date wasn’t so bad, she’s okay with going out again” Allen finally said burning his face in the popcorn.“Really!!! Then why didn’t you want to tell me?” Stephanie asked in a high tone, her eyes gleaming as though she had acquired a lottery “Well, you’re looking for the details, something I don’t think I’m cut out for” Allen answered smiling as he watched his sister.“I’m happy with whatever decision you make brot

Allen drove as fast as he could recalling the voice that had spoken on the phone “You need to go there, talk to David, don’t let him find you first” The voice sounded urgent, and not care if his life would be in danger, he pressed down the accelerator, clutching on to the steering wheel so tightly.“Miss, there are some people outside the house saying they want to see Master Allen,” the elderly woman said to Stephanie as she munched on her lunch “Tell them my brother isn’t home” she answered not having too much thought of it.“I have already informed them but they’re still outside, still insisting on seeing him” the woman answered, her hands clasped together “I’ll call Allen,” Stephanie said as she walked to her room “Go to your rooms and lock the doors, now” she added as she put her brother on speed dial.“Hello, Allen,” Stephanie said with a bit of fear in her voice “Hey, is everything alright?” Allen asked, stopping the car “No, everything’s not alright, there are some scary men at

The house was in flames, yet Stephanie was safe, pacing around, sorting for some sort of solution “I don’t even know what’s happening outside, where’s brother?” She asked, her voice was haughty and she was almost in tears.“You seem composed, Allen,” the man in the driver seat said, his voice mocking “Will you keep quiet or do you want me to shut your mouth?” William asked, his voice with a hint of anger “Focus on the road and drive” he demanded “Yes sir” the man answered clenching the steering wheel.“I’m not sure why the master has so much interest in you Allen but I can guess why, you’re a mysterious one,” William asked looking over his shoulder to watch Allen.“I have no idea what you’re talking about” Allen replied staring at the window. “I hope she’s okay,” he thought to himself.Stephanie had already accepted her fate, she was trapped in her room without knowing what was happening outside, she didn’t want to know at that point. The flames had already been put out by the wind an

The darkness was overwhelming “He sounds like he’s in pain” Stephanie said, tears trickling down her face “Your brother is damned to die, I just wanted you to see him for the last time” William replied, his face with a smirk.“William!! Why is she here?” Allen asked, his shackles clinking “Why is my brother chained like an animal?” She asked looking at William with anger “Get her out of here!!!” Allen yelled “Your brother asked you to leave, don’t worry, you’ll see him again, out in the light” William answered grabbing her wrist.“No...no” Stephanie protested, struggling to get free from his grasp, his hold on her wrist had become even tighter, he pulled her till he was out of the room.“Your brother did not like to see you in there, he was angered, that’s progress,” William said with a cascading smile “What do you mean by that?” Stephanie asked, her eyes reddening “You’ll see, this is going to be just as fun” William said as he whispered for her to sleep.In the upper room, all the s

The enraged look in his eyes, as he advanced toward the police, gave off an eerie feeling. The police had now exhausted their bullets. Ultimate looked at his hand, filled with different kinds of bullets. “Step back!!” The policemen at the front yelled.Ultimate advanced even closer and closer, his body had begun to emanate some sort of steam, “That thing isn’t human, run if you can!!” One of the police officers said running backward releasing more rounds of bullets.“I do not need mere humans” Ultimate’s voice deepened, the armor was still up guarding every part of him, he had no remorse whatsoever for the people in front of him.Allen had begun to gain consciousness in the armor, Ultimate had begun to slow down, Allen could hardly see what was in front of him and all the police officers had exhausted their bullets except one.Allen had reached a vulnerable state, and that’s when a round was shot, hitting his leg “It penetrated” the other police officer exclaimed, “Get more rounds and

His eyelids felt too heavy for him to move them, finally, they were opened, and there was a tree branch over his head, he heard a humming sound, and at the same time his nose sniffed something delicious.Allen finally gained the strength to stand, he looked down at his body, it was all wrapped in bandages, just then, an older woman walked in, “Oh, you’re awake, how do you feel?” The woman asked putting down a bowl she held in her hand.“Master Allen, do you remember me?” The older lady asked, walking towards him “Who..are..you?” Allen asked as he felt a sharp pain in his head “Don’t push yourself too much, you may not remember me but I remember you” the woman added.“Here, have this, it’ll help in your recovery,” the woman said offering the bowl filled with a green-colored substance as she put it into his mouth “You don’t seem to mind the taste,” she said, a smile forming on her face “I’ve had worse so I could survive” Allen answered as he gained a little stamina to sit up straight.“

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
