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
The silence felt too loud, Phily was seated on the cold floor, tears in his eyes as he held Kesper’s lifeless body, blood still gushing from the severed head, he could hear a distant voice calling his name yet remained sitting at his friend and master’s corpse even though he couldn’t do anything.“Lincoln, you sent your men to me, I’ll be taking the next step of visiting you myself,” Allen said as he stepped on the accelerator driving speedily until he got to the entrance of a small home, he parked the car quite a place from it and walked down, he moved swiftly to find a door in a barn behind the house, unlocking it with a code, he walked into his underground tunnel, his sanctuary.“Back from work, master?” Mrs Hugoi asked in a gentle voice “Yeah, I’ll be going to get a shower” he answered taking off his clothes in the room and heading for the bathroom. He looked into the mirror, his eyes watching his face ‘The bloodlust is clear’ his reflection whispered to him, he moved away startle
Philly quietly put the young man in an unconscious state pulling him to an empty room in the hospital. “No one must find out” he whispered as he breathed heavily, his arms had started to ache from carrying such weight. “Don’t leave me, brother” her voice echoed as he saw her hand stretched towards him “No..” Allen yelled out loud, he jerked himself, waking up, and he noticed he was sweating profusely, he leaped out of bed, dashing into the bathroom, he looked at the mirror, “I failed you as your brother but I won’t fail to avenge you” he said running his fingers through his hair.After washing up a little, he came out of the bathroom, his phone had begun to ring, and the caller ID read ‘Private Number’ As he watched the phone ring, it was as though he knew who was on the phone “What happened?” Allen asked the person on the phone “I think one of them is onto me” he responded almost immediately.“Don’t do anything risky, if it’s too much, ditch it and I’ll tell you where to stay” Allen
Philly had succeeded in waking up the young man, but he now had trouble trusting him “Who are you and why did you do that?” The man said holding his head “You proceeded to make a noise, that’s why I did that” Phily answered helping him up “Will Cieto be okay?” The man asked concerned for his comrade’s life “Well, the doctor asked that we wait, also I told Master Lincoln about this” he added. “I thought you were against that,” the man said now holding his nape.“I thought about the consequences, if we were ever found, we would be deemed as traitors to his cause and put in an even worse dilemma,” he said assuringly “We’ll that is true, I tried to warn you, I’m happy you heeded to my warnings,” he said proudly.“How’s Cieto doing?” Lincoln asked, his voice calm as he held the walking stick for support “We’re not sure sir, the doctor said that the blade is unique, but the bleeding had refused to stop” Phily answered “Please sit down sir” he added “No I’m fine, what I want is Allen Scott’s
Allen’s eyes widened in shock, “Don’t be too surprised, I just needed someone who would fulfill the prophecy and lead me to my throne” Kevar said, his voice was elegant, pushing back a strand of his lustrous black hair as he stared at Allen with his beautiful face.“You tricked me” Allen responded holding his dagger quite firmly, his eyes flaring “Well, it was worth it” Kevar answered, crossing one leg over the other with a bland expression on his face.Allen noticed the notification showing over Kevar’s head ‘The boss must be conquered with a show of wits and power’ it read, Allen looked down, noticing Kevar was only inches away from his face, with his quick reflexes, he pulled back “You’re the fastest one yet” Kevar said, a smile on his face.“I barely got out unscathed” Allen muttered noticing himself bleed from his abdomen, putting his hand over it “Like I said, the fastest one yet,” Kevar said, his eyes were calm watching his reaction.“Shit, his blade got to me,” Allen said brea
The lights of the room were quite dim, Casandra dropped the bag in her hand, searching the whole place for Allen “Master Allen, Master All..ennn” her voice echoed throughout the rooms “The door wasn’t locked from the outside, that means he’s in here” she muttered still walking around.She subtly walked making sure that if he was home, she wouldn’t get scolded for snooping, she walked till she got to a locked room “He spends a lot of time in this place, I wonder what’s behind the door?” She wondered trying to unlock it, the door seemed old but it was quite sturdy.“It won’t budge,” she said trying her best to get it unlocked, but her effort failed, she then went to the living room, took out the food her mother gave her, placed it on the counter in the kitchen, she noticed a picture frame, she saw a girl a little bit older than her, she could tell, standing so closely with Allen, she picked up the frame tracing her fingers through Allen’s face.Then she suddenly heard something as thoug
Phily hadn’t lasted too long in the house, he didn’t want to stay too long especially now when he was being watched by Palmer. “Oh and by the way, there are some new checkpoints added to the area, I think in search of you” Phily said standing up to leave.“Yeah, I noticed it, thank you for the information, for everything” Allen said leaning in for a hug, they both clasped their hands together, giving each other a hug as well before Phily made for the door to leave.After the conversation he had with Phily, Allen sat on the couch in silence, scheming, his eyes staring into space, his arms folded, he had begun to think to himself ‘If I truly want all of them to go down, I’ll take what belongs to them, whatever they cherish’ he thought to himself, keeping a stern expression.“Is he gone?” Casandra’s soft voice emerged from the room “Yeah, you can come out now” Allen answered calmly, smiling at how scared she looked. She kept watching the door for some reason as though she was ready to g
“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
