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 tightly. "You again?" she scoffed. "I was right all along. You are nothing but a nuisance and you had to come over to my father's hotel to show who you truly are right?" she questioned with her voice filled with spite and disgust. Allen scrunched his face seeing her again. He never thought he would see the lady again. Valerie. Her father's hotel? Alright, that's a lot to take in. Did Ultimate take him to her hotel so she could humiliate him and probably end his life? "How did he get in here?" She questioned the security, scrutinizing him from head to toe. "Don't you know we don't allow dogs into this place? Do you want to lose your jobs?" The men bowed their heads. "We apologize ma'am." "Valerie please listen to me this time and believe me. I know I wronged you in the first place but I really need to see the manager of this hotel." She smirked and crossed her arms. "My father is the owner and the manager works for him. You can't just request to see the manager at your will. You can tell me what you want and I will let my dad know." Allen shook his head. There was no way he would trust Valerie after all she did to him. "Please just help me out. Just do this good for once, please," he pleaded but that got her frowning. "How dare you insult me? How dare you call me bad." Oh my goodness! He almost screamed out but controlled himself. "I don't mean that. I apologize." "You will be dealt with today!" she yelled out, attracting the attentions of the people around. "How dare a lowlife, cheap, useless, puppet like you, call me a bad person? Do you know who I am? We aren't same statue and would never be and you dare insult me?" she screamed the question out, glaring burning furnace at him. Everyone were gathering around to watch what was going on. "What are you doing here in the first place? You are nothing but a thief trying to find your way in here. You should be locked in jail forever so the city wouldn't have to face a nuisance like you anymore." "How dare he talk to Miss Valerie that way?" he heard a voice from the people gathered asked. "He definitely is in a lot of trouble," another said. "To think that he is poor and wouldn't be able to save his ass. He is finished for sure," the third said. Valerie brought our her phone, "I will call the police now and tell them how you came in here to steal. You will be locked up in jail for sure." Valerie had always hated Allen. His mother once worked as a cleaner in the school she attended and for that, she do see Allen sometimes. She just hated him cause he was always dirty, and he was so poor. The hatred grew with her to the extend that she would do anything to make sure he isn't in the place where he works or stays, if she ever comes across it. "What is going on here?" The manager asked, entering the scene and standing between Valerie and Allen. "What is your job here Miss Clara? Shouldn't you look at for this?" Valerie pointed at Allen and reported spitefully, "This man dares enter my father's hotel to steal. This is a luxurious hotel and things like this shouldn't happen." The manager glanced at Allen and back at her. "I apologize for this ma'am. I will take care of it immediately." "Please I need to talk to you about something. Please just listen to me for just a few minutes and I will be done." Allen pleaded but it all fell on deaf ears. "Good. You should call the police to lock him up." she ordered to which the manager nodded. "Anyway, where is dad?" "He went to prepare for the VVIP welcome. The new VVIP would be coming in today. The information suddenly got to us and we have little time to get everything ready." Valerie looked at the time and groaned, "Then I will have to leave as soon as possible. Father always don't want me to see the VVIPs," she turned to leave but suddenly turned back, "Get him in jail immediately," she ordered and walked out immediately. The gathered little crowd all went back to their businesses. Immediately she was out of sight, the manager turned and faced Allen. "You will regret coming here to disrupt the peace of this hotel. This isn't some hotel you can come into and do as you please." "Ma'am, the boss is coming down." A staff informed. The manager panicked. "That means the new VVIP is here. Take this man aside for a while and immediately send him to the prison when the VVIP is escorted upstairs." They nodded and she went on. Allen didn't plan to let go just yet, so he struggled out of the hold of the securities and ran to the manager. "I need to talk to you about a safe," he desperately tried to get her to listen to him. Just as she turned to face him, the elevator opened and Mr Edward, the owner of the hotel and the mayor of the city, walked out. Seeing the sunglass Allen wore, he gasped loudly and rushed to him. "Sir I...." the manager started to explain why a man looking so poor and tattered was in the hotel, but what Mr Edward did next shocked her. Mr Edward bowed his head to Allen, "Welcome to my hotel, sir."

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.

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

With each step toward the waiting car, his heart pounded in his chest, a mixture of fear and relief coursing through his veins.

"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.

As Allen held the scattered nails, frustration surged through him like a tempest, twisting his features into a mask of irritation. He could feel the tension mounting, coiling like a spring within him, as he clenched his fists and tugged at his hair in exasperation. With a sharp inhale, he bellowed, "What the hell am I supposed to do with these nails?" Every breath he took felt charged with electricity, fueling the fire of his vexation. His mind raced, desperately seeking a solution amidst the chaos of scattered thoughts. The driver, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror, caught sight of Allen's agitated state. With a practiced hand, he adjusted the mirror to get a better view, concern etched into his features. "Is everything alright back there, sir?" he inquired, his voice laced with genuine concern, despite the steady hum of the vehicle's engine. Allen's response was curt, his focus still fixated on the perplexing pile of nails before him. "Yes, yes. Just keep on driving,"

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.

"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.

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
