It was clear that without David’s help, it would be impossible to get rid of Allen and so this was the best idea he could come up with.The people who were still in the cafè put their hands over their heads even without warning “Sir, her.. shift.. Ju.. just ended, I.. think she left” the man standing at the counter answered, his voice was shaky as he stuttered “What if I say, I don’t believe you?” The man asked, his face scarred.“Boys, check the door over there,” he said pointing his gun in the direction of the door leading to the kitchen “Yes boss” they answered as they quickly rushed in with their guns.Ellen put her hand over Sally’s mouth as she shook her head in horror as they both stood on the toilet in the ladies’ washroom.Trying to maintain their balance, they had to be stealthy and then, they heard someone walk into the washroom door, a tear trickled down Sally’s face, her eyes watching Ellen in horror ‘Calm down’ Ellen mouthed.The person who walked through the door quickl

Allen looked at his side mirror and recognized the face almost immediately “Ohh I’m taking Kevar’s appearance, so how does this shape shifting work?” He muttered as he put the car to stop, close to a diner.‘You think of the face or even physical appearance of whoever you wish to look like and then it automatically becomes yours’ Ultimate spoke from within. “That’s a nice feature” Allen said coming out of the car “That’s just what I needed” he said as he took out his phone, looking at the time, it said 2:15pm “Might just grab lunch while I’m here” he said smiling.He walked into the diner and noticed that all eyes were on him, a middle aged woman approached him almost immediately “What would you like to have sir?” She asked softly, her eyes scanning his face as though she was lost in it. “I’ll have uhh.. burger and fries” Allen answered. “Do you want it now or to go?” She asked “I’ll have some now and put three to go” he answered. “Anything else, sir?” The woman asked again as though

David could hardly believe his eyes, this man held his fist almost immediately, pulling away from him as swiftly “Suprised?” The man asked rhetorically “Don’t be” he said walking towards David as he talked “Ellen, you need to get out of here, now” David said to her “What..what’s happening? Who are these people?” She asked him breathing heavily with tears in her eyes.“I doubt you know your cousin, as much as we know him,” the man said, approaching David “She is not to be involved, he’s looking for me and not her,” David said loudly to the man’s hearing “Well, my orders were straightforward, I am to bring the girl, whether you like it or not” he answered, a smirk forming over his lips.“Please.. we don’t need to cause more commotions here” David pleaded “Like I said before, we’ll take the girl and you’ll follow quietly behind, is that too hard to do” the man answered, his hands clasped together as though he was pleading as well.“Ellen, it’s gonna be fine, okay, let’s go, you’ll follow

Allen came to a halt, “Really, so he’s resulted to using the same cheap tricks he used on me to lure David” Allen said over the phone “Yeah, apparently, he’ll keep his cousin hostage until he does his bidding” Phily answered.“He must be feeling helpless, but the truth is, he kinda deserves it, working with a crooked man,” Allen said “Yeah, but his cousin’s innocent, I heard they raided the cafè where she worked and killed some innocent people there,” Philly said “That’s how he is” Allen replied.“What if I tell you that we can use this opportunity,” Philly said over the phone, his voice sounding ecstatic “How do you mean?” Allen asked. “What if we make a deal with David?, it seems as though he refuses to be his hunting dog” Phily suggested.“I’m listening” Allen responded “What if we help him free his cousin and send her to a safe place and ask for his help?” Phily said, “What makes you think he’ll be willing to help?” Allen asked “He knows all too well that she will die in his hands

He had thought long and hard, remembering his response to Lincoln “Why are you doing this?” David asked, his voice a bit throaty “You’re one of the few people who can defeat Allen Scott, just this one time David” Lincoln said in a patronizing voice.“Oh and if you think you have a choice, remember little Ellen” Lincoln added, a smile formed on his lips as he sat down on the side cushion “Don’t you touch her, I’ll do what you ask” he answered “There we go, now we’re on the same page, I need you to start tomorrow, partner,” Lincoln said as he walked through the doorway to another part of the house.Now, his eyes were wide open in the middle of the night “How am I supposed to sleep? Ellen’s in their custody, and until Allen’s dead, I can’t do a thing” he said to himself running his fingers vigorously through his hair. He stood up from the bed, turning the lights on which were on the side table close to the bed, he walked downstairs in an attempt to get some water.He quickly went downsta

“Are you moving?” Mrs Hugoi asked in a frail voice “Yeah, I am, someone broke into the bunker, it’s just common sense that I change my environment” Allen answered “You can always come to see me there, honestly, it’s not so far from here” he added smiling a bit.“Thank you so much Mrs Hugoi, you have been of great help to me,” he said as a voice called out in the distance “Arnold Norton?” The man asked, walking towards Allen “Yes, I’m Arnold” he answered “Then sign here, so you’ll be with us for the moving of things right?” The man asked, taking his cap and putting it over his head. “Yeah,” he answered before the man left for the blue truck with a load of things.“Arnold?” Mrs. Hugoi asked surprised “Yeah, that’s my new name, you know, a lot of people are looking for me” he whispered smiling “It’s a nice name” she replied chuckling a bit “Yeah it is, like I said, you and Casandra are free anytime” he said calmly as he walked into the passenger seat of the truck as they drove off.“What

David was already present at the mansion, giving commands as to his mission of finding Allen “I need stats as to where he was seen last and maybe footage” he said to one man as the place looked chaotic, everyone was trying their best to follow his commands duly.“Hmm, I can see that you’re already at work McKinney,” Lincoln said emerging from the pathway leading to the exquisite rooms, “You’re quite serious about this now, aren’t you?” He asked putting his hands behind his back.David turned around to look at him, his eyes showing nothing but wrath “I’m only doing this because of the leverage you have over me” David said “Whatever reason you’re doing it for, what matters is that Allen Scott will be out of sight and out of mind” Lincoln answered with a smile on his lips as he patted his back softly.“If this works out perfectly in three days, you’ll get to see your dear Ellen” Lincoln said before finally walking off. David had a disgruntled expression, his eyes watching Lincoln closely

Allen heard all they had spoken about, “Keito Hima, one of the bottom feeders of the seven, the one who is greedy for much power” he said smiling “Why don’t I do you a favor? Lincoln and eliminate him first” he said to himself smiling as he stood in the room watching them both.Allen drew out his dagger immediately Lincoln had the chance of leaving the room “You were wrong about one thing Keito, I’ll make sure all of you die by my hands” he said as he made himself visible once more.The man’s eyes opened in shock “Who..who.. are you? What do you want?” He asked, his eyes in horror as he saw the dagger in his hands “You don’t even know the man you want to communicate with” Allen answered smiling.“All..Allen Sc..ott” the man said, his knees going down begging as he rubbed his hands together “You should’ve yelled for help first,” Allen said as he moved closer, Keito screamed, his voice showing peril and danger alerting the men who had gone after Lincoln.“See you on the other side,” All

“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
