Gerran was taken aback, unable to comprehend why Agatha was suddenly angry with him.He believed he'd done the right thing by keeping Steve away from Agatha, so he was puzzled as to why she seemed upset with him about it."Agatha, what do you mean?" Gerran inquired."Stop pretending like you care about me, that's what I mean," Agatha replied curtly.Frowning, Gerran shifted his gaze towards Steve this time. Steve smirked sardonically, quite pleased with Gerran's confused reaction."What's that smirk for, loser?" Gerran questioned, his irritation evident.Steve chose to remain silent, opting to let Gerran interpret the meaning behind his smirk on his own."Are you under the impression that Agatha is on your side? Stop dreaming. Her words just now were probably a misunderstanding," Gerran asserted, still convinced that Agatha didn't mean what she said.Agatha sighed in frustration, utterly annoyed that Gerran hadn't grasped her intent yet."Hey, can you stop bothering Steve? Stop protec
“What?!” Gerran's body stiffened instantly. 'What did I just hear?' his mind still in a state of disbelief.'Agatha referred to Steve as 'my husband'? What does that mean?' Gerran was stunned, unable to believe it. He quickly retracted his hand, feeling both drained and shocked."Your husband? Is this loser your husband, Agatha? Please don't joke around in such a serious situation. Look, my hands are almost trembling," Gerran asked incredulously.All the guests in that place were just as shocked as Gerran. Steve they remembered was merely a poor young man with nothing. They couldn't imagine him marrying a beauty goddess from the wealthy Cattegirn family like Agatha. Let alone marrying Agatha, they thought Steve wouldn't be able to have a girlfriend.“She must be joking!” someone murmured in disbelieve.Seeing all the people there expressed a disbelieve expression, Steve spoke in a sardonic voice, "Gerran, don't you see how serious Agatha was in scolding you? Only a fool would think Ag
At that moment, Steve Hart had been in the car on the way home with Agatha. Both remained silent as they felt awkward around each other after the incident at the reunion event. It was the first time Agatha had publicly declared Steve as her husband.On one hand, Steve felt proud of Agatha's action. But on the other hand, he felt awkward and conflicted. Not just Steve, Agatha also seemed uneasy and confused throughout their journey home. Several times, Agatha seemed to want to start a conversation, but at the same time, she held back the words she almost uttered.‘Ah, wasn't there a system notification earlier mentioning that I had successfully unlocked a new feature?’ Steve mused as he recalled a recent system notification that had appeared in his field of view.The system informed him that he had just successfully unlocked a new feature. He actually wanted to check out the new feature immediately, but because Agatha was beside him, Steve abandoned that intention. He worried that perh
Instantly, the four robbers were astonished, their gazes fixed on Agatha in sheer disbelief. Agatha's beauty completely diverted their attention."Amazing! My hunch was right after all! That man is hiding a beautiful angel in his car," exclaimed one of the robbers, shaking his head, still awestruck by Agatha's beauty."How dare you try to hide such a beautiful woman from us?!" barked another robber."What are we waiting for? Let's get rid of the guy and have some fun with that beautiful woman!"As normal men, the four robbers wouldn't miss such an opportunity, especially with Agatha's exceptional beauty that heightened their primal instincts.Steve, noticing the lecherous expressions on the robbers' faces, immediately rushed to embrace and protect Agatha. He didn't want his wife's body to become the center of attention for these robbers."Don't you dare touch her!" Steve yelled."Ha ha, trying to be a hero, it seems."The four laughed loudly, completely unfazed by Steve's stern warnin
The three remaining robbers decided to attack Steve Hart again with machetes in their hands.Steve Hart had to be surprised again as his body moved easily to counter their attacks, Steve Hart also occasionally counterattacked with his fists, he managed to repel the three men with ease."Damn it, what happened to him?"The three men were genuinely curious as to how Steve Hart could seem like such a different person.They initially thought Steve Hart was no good at fighting and only good at defence, but after experiencing his toughness for themselves, they came to the conclusion that Steve Hart was just pretending from the beginning, with the intention of hiding his fighting skills."He's really dangerous.""You're right, we have to find a way to defeat him soon."The trio tried to discuss how to defeat Steve Hart. However, they found no loopholes in the way Steve Hart fought, so they felt that defeating Steve Hart was impossible."Why are you guys stopping? Come forward." Steve Hart ch
A few days later, Steve arrived at the downtown Avebury police station as per their summons.He had been contacted by a police officer who had requested his presence to receive a reward and meet the city's police chief.Upon entering the police station, he was immediately questioned about his purpose for being there."I was invited to meet the chief of police. If I'm not mistaken, his name is Carver Asher," Steve informed the officer on duty.The officer frowned, his expression turning sour in an instant."Mr. Carver isn't available, just leave," Beck Benton, the duty officer, spoke brusquely.Beck Benton had heard of Steve's success in defeating the Four Robbery Brothers. He was the officer responsible for apprehending them and felt that Steve had disrupted his chance for a promotion."Why are you just staying here? Hurry up and go." Beck Benton was not happy.Steve Hart raised his eyebrows, he felt there was something wrong with the police in front of him. Not to mention, he had gon
"Well, Mr. Steve, are you willing to provide guidance to my members in self-defense?" Carver Asher asked with hope in his voice.Carver Asher wanted to seize this opportunity to train his members, thinking that Steve's presence was a rare chance.Carver Asher hoped that Steve Hart could illustrate the true differences in combat abilities among his members when facing a martial arts expert.[Ding!!!][A mission has appeared: defeat every police member who becomes your sparring partner. The Shop feature and Status Window will also open as rewards for your success]Steve Hart raised an eyebrow. The reward feature was the best according to Steve, leaving him no reason to decline the mission.‘A sparring match? Doesn't that mean I have to fight?’ Steve Hart mumbled to himself.Steve agreed to Carver's request, much to Carver's delight.Carver quickly gathered his members for training, including Beck Benton, who seemed gloomy.After everyone assembled, Carver conveyed his intentions, drawin
Beck Benton was confident his punch would hit Steve, he grinned thinking it was all over for Steve.Steve Hart moved his body slightly, he reflexively did that to avoid the punch and it worked.Steve gets the chance to hit Beck Benton back, he doesn't miss this opportunity and swings.BAM!!!Beck Benton fell unconscious, his vision darkened as Steve's punch hit him in the face.Steve Hart just stared at his fist in disbelief, amazed by the martial arts skills he had acquired from the system."It's not even the first time, but it's still hard for me to believe I have this ability." Steve muttered to himself.Those who saw this could only stand in disbelief. They originally thought Steve would be the one to lose, they refused to believe Beck Benton was the one who had to fall to the ground."What just happened?""Damn, he must have just got lucky."They couldn't believe it so they started to come forward one by one to challenge Steve, they didn't want their pride as police officers to b
