Allen’s eyes opened up again, the place was too dark, he tried sitting upright, but his hands were slippery “Where am I?” He asked struggling to gain his stamina “You’re in the tunnel” Mrs Hugoi answered as he fidgeted.

“Huh?” Allen asked sweating profusely, his eyes as though he had woken from a nightmare “Master Allen” he heard her voice in the distance as he tried to gain full consciousness.

“What happened?” A younger woman came rushing in and asked, her voice with a hint of fear “I think he’s having some sort of shock” Mrs Hugoi answered “Get me water and a towel” She added “Okay” the lady answered rushing into the deeper parts of the tunnel.

Mrs Hugoi tried her best to calm the storm “It’s okay, you’ll be fine” she kept assuring him until he had stopped fidgeting “He must have gone through a lot for him to be like this” the younger lady pointed out as she held the bowl of warm water.

“Well, that’s a story for another day” Mrs Hugoi replied, her eyes watching Allen in his deterio

    “We haven’t set eyes on the target sir,” the man with a scrawny face and a scar said to the phone “I gave you an order to find him and take care of it, don’t call me until you do so, got it?” Lincoln yelled at him as the car was coming to a halt.“We’ve arrived sir”, the driver said calmly as he came down to open the back door, gesturing that Lincoln could come down. There was an awful great amount of people walking into the symposium.“Pick me up soon,” he said to his driver before walking in as well. The place seemed to have a nice touch to it, the grandeur of the symposium meant that it was only for the rich. Lincoln made his way to a seat where he met an unfamiliar man whom he struck up a conversation with.“Did you get it done yet?” The man asked, adjusting his coat “Not yet, we’re still on the search but I trust my boys, they’ll do a good job” Lincoln answered bowing slightly forward.“Sir next to me then” the man answered looking calm with his glasses, his eyes watching the lad

    The man's eyes had turned pale even as he sat with guards at close range and his beck and call. Lincoln looked scared, his eyes watching the road and looking back to see if he was ever being followed.“Sir, please do not worry too much about what happened,” one of the guards asked as he had watched for too long doing the same actions “Sure” Lincoln answered almost sarcastically, his hands still clenching onto the guard.The room felt too big even for him to sleep in “Please guard the doors, no one comes in or out of my room” Lincoln said as he lay on the master bed still quivering in fear. “Yes sir” the men answered before leaving the room “Didn’t I tell those morons to find him and kill him? Why is he around me?” Lincoln lamented before taking out his phone to make a call.“Hello, sir, we still have no eyes..” Kesper wanted to speak before he was interrupted “That bastard was in my house tonight, he was there, go over there and check it out, right now, I’m in a hotel” Lincoln said,

    “All doors are clear sir” Kesper heard over the telecom “No sign of him yet” the others spoke into theirs as well “Okay, good job, boys, keep your eyes peeled,” Kesper said before sitting on the bare floor.“Will anyone tell me what’s happening here?” Lincoln said, standing with anxiety “Will you tell us the kind of system user we’re dealing with? And what did you do to make him so despicable?” Kesper asked wiping off the sweat from his face.“What do you mean by that?” Lincoln asked acting clueless “That thing that came after us, isn’t human, I can guarantee it, I doubt what he wears is a vest yet no bullet penetrated and to make matters worse he moves like air, lurking in the shadows” Kesper said, “He’s costing me, my men, three men dead from this mission, in one night, so tell me, what the hell are we fighting?” Kesper asked once again almost in a yell.“He’s the Ultimate user” Lincoln answered, his voice was low “What’s that?” Philly asked, his gun pointed towards the door “He’s t

    Allen had his sights fixated on one thing at this time, revenge, even when Mrs Hugoi had tried advising him against it. It had become clearer to Allen that if he truly desired revenge, he would have to bring the whole system and hierarchy down, that’s when the idea struck him ‘If Palmer had a hand in wanting me killed, that must mean, they’re other people who are the higher-ups’ Allen thought to himself as he continued his daily quest.“How do we find him though?” James asked Kesper as he drove the van “We won’t have to find him, he’ll come to us” Kesper answered speeding up the vehicle.The room was filled with a crowd of people, heavy chattering of the men, playing games and laughing loudly, the men quickly noticed Kesper’s presence in the room.“Kesper! What brings you?” A bulky man with a scared face and tatted arms asked, his face with a grin “Cieto, my man” Kesper answered, his voice with happiness as he leaned onto his for a handshake and dab.“What’s good?” Cieto asked, his ey

    Allen watched them from the comfort of where he sat, “Do they think they can set a trap with that?” He muttered to himself as he noticed how many they had begun after the reinforcements, he wasn’t just ready for them yet.The night had passed without any action or activity yet he watched them from where he sat in his control room ‘Master Allen, the cameras you asked for, I had put them at the right places as you suggested’ a young man’s voice echoed in his head as he remembered his instructions to him.“Good job Cameron, I know he frequents this hotel, just have them hung up in those places,” Allen said, his voice calm as he spoke to him “This has helped a lot, thanks a lot” he whispered to himself as he smiled as these men who were waiting for his arrival in the hotel.The sun had begun to rise and still, there was no sign of Kesper’s target, most of the men had fallen asleep due to exhaustion and boredom, that’s what Allen wanted, for them to be caught off guard.

    Allen glared at his opponent, watching the armor clench onto its body even after taking heavy punches from his fists “This thing is more than titanium” Allen muttered flexing his hands waiting for it to move as it had become stuck in the wall.Allen walked a bit away from it looking at its sword etched into the ground. Soon he heard a whooshing sound again, it was coming straight at him, planting its feet on the hard floor, it started throwing punches, Allen tried his best to block the punches so he wouldn’t get dangerously injured, but his attempt failed, but he was pushed to the wall not long after.Allen had passed through the wall even going beyond with such weighty punches. “I won’t.. die he..re today” Allen muttered under his breath with complete exhaustion. He looked up, noticing that his opponent found him still breathing rushing towards him as well.He looked at his fists “I possess a stronger power” Allen said rushing towards his opponent with the intent of giving faster abs

    The whole room was filled with men wearing gadgets and hefty bulletproof suits as they guarded Lincoln in his own home, he had been through a lot since the incident involving Allen but he knew it wasn’t over just yet, what he didn’t know was that it had just begun.His eyes were frightened yet he tried not to show his fear of death, yet his body quivered. “Just relax sir, you can relax, there are guards everywhere, ready to move you from here to your penthouse,” James said assuringly, his eyes had no concern because, for all it’s worth, to him, they had no right to fight someone who came to take revenge on a person who let his sister got killed, yet he needed the money too and so he was here, standing guard.“Everyone in their positions?” Cieto asked into the telecom “Yes sir” they answered “You know, he’s a night walker, springing forth only at night” Kesper said to Cieto as he walked “Well, who’s to say he’s not a morning person” Cieto answered, a smile forming on his lips.It was a

    Allen’s dark red eyes made it clear that he wasn’t going to show any mercy, Cieto lay on the ground unconscious as he approached him, his steps were slow as though he was waiting for Kesper to do something. “Get away from him!!”? A young man who seemed to be Cieto’s friend yelled loading bullets and taking shots at him.“Is he alive?” Phily asked Kesper as they both helped him from the ground, “We need to get him outta here, let Saive hold him off” Kesper said the sounds of the gunshots got louder alerting some of the other crew members in the other room.It seems as though the bullets had started making an impact on Allen, or did it? Allen looked at him smiling as he dropped the bullets which he had caught while he was being shot. “Saive, we need to retreat” Kesper’s voice sounded over the telecom “I think that’s too late” Allen whispered into his ear, forcing his hand on his face, and pushing him to the end of the room.“How did he hear that?” Saive muttered, his body at the mercy o

    “Let's go get this deal over with,” Allen said as he looked himself in the mirror one more time as he was getting ready to leave. The meeting with Josh was feeling quite like a huge one as they were finally going to get into the details of how they were going to get rid of Project Erebus, the long-standing threat just wouldn't go away. “Are you sure about this Josh? I still can't get around the feeling I have every time I remember that you are trying to ally with this dude…” Stephanie just couldn't hide her suspicions anymore as she stared at Allen who was too caught up in the act of getting himself ready to leave. “Are you even listening to anything that I'm saying?”“Oh yes I am…” Allen said even though he was too carried away to pay attention. He was already going over so many times in his head that there just wasn't space but anything else. “I was just zoning out for a couple of moments to think about how the meeting would go.”“Like I said I still don't think that Josh has pure

    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
