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
Steve Hart was still engrossed in studying the features of the system's store as he walked towards the bus stop. He might have to head back home soon, but the allure of everything the system sold had truly captured his attention."What should I buy if everything is this expensive?" Steve Hart murmured to himself.Everything the system sell did look extraordinary, but the lowest price for most of what the system offered was 10 system points or 10 million dollars. Steve Hart had to think a thousand times before spending such an amount of money.[Ding!][A mission has appeared, save someone from their death! The money spent by the Host during the mission will be doubled as a success reward!]Steve Hart furrowed his brow; he didn't know who the person was that the system wanted him to save.[Ding!][The person is in a large building not far from you; they may not survive if the Host doesn't act quickly.]Steve Hart immediately scanned his surroundings. Before long, he found the building i
"Miss Helena, please give me a little more time. I'm sure I can drag him out of here," the security personnel continued trying to pull Steve's body, but Steve remained motionless in his position.Helena Halbert immediately instructed the security to stop; she didn't want to let the security embarrass himself further.Steve smiled contentedly when the security no longer bothered him; he thought that saving Austin would now be easier."You... could you tell me what your business is here?" Helena Halbert chose to speak politely to Steve; she didn't think Steve would come without a reason."Miss, I will save your father, that’s my business for now," Steve Hart said with a friendly smile.Helena Halbert furrowed her brow and then said, "Forget it. Do you think I'll let my father be taken care of by a random person like you?!"Helena Halbert felt that Steve had gone too far; her father's safety was at stake. She wondered why Steve could say such things so easily, even though Steve wasn't a
Steve Hart furrowed his brow; there was no difference in his demeanor after he acquired the Ancient Medical Skills from the system. Which was vastly different from when he first mastered Martial Arts skills.‘Was something wrong during the acquisition process?’ Steve Hart murmured anxiously, all eyes now on him, waiting for him to do something to improve Austin's condition.[Ding!][The system requests the Host to focus your attention on the patient, so that your newly acquired skills can be fully utilized.]Steve Hart breathed a sigh of relief; after the system's guidance, he immediately followed instructions and found several nerve points in Austin's body.‘Now what should I do?’ Steve Hart muttered, hoping the system would provide an answer.[Ding!][Host only needs to gently press the visible nerve points on the patient; your Ancient Medical Skills will then work automatically.]Steve Hart nodded understandingly, starting to press each nerve point he could see.Those present immed
Steve Hart boarded the bus right as the one he'd been waiting for arrived, heading straight to the hospital where his mother was being treated.Steve Hart finally got there not too long later, because the hospital was not too far from where he was before. When Steve wanted to enter the hospital, he realized that there were many people just coming out of the hospital.They came out almost at the same time, Steve immediately realized that there seemed to be something strange there.Steve might have his suspicions, but he chose to ignore them because his mother's recovery was more important for now."Excuse me, can I see Adaline Hart?" Steve asked the receptionist on duty.The receptionist immediately shook her head, she also pointed at the people who were just about to leave the hospital.Steve Hart frowned, he didn't understand what the receptionist meant by asking him to see that."As you can see, sir. Our hospital is currently not accepting visits, not even new patients."Steve Hart
Steve searched for a police officer's phone number that he still kept, he trawled through his mobile phone contacts as if he really wanted to report Callista.Callista immediately realized that Steve was not playing with his words, this made Callista regret it and tried to stop Steve right then and there."Wait, don't do that. I take back my words." Callista tried to get Steve's hand off the phone.Steve nodded in satisfaction, "Then, does that mean you've agreed to reopen the hospital to the public?"Callista chose silence to think for a moment, she felt Steve's request was still too difficult for her to do."Why are you so stubborn? Don't you feel sorry for all the patients you've driven away just because of one person's arrival?" Steve asked, wanting to know the reason for Callista's actions.Callista Cattegirn shook her head slowly, after which she said, "You don't understand, the patient that my hospital is about to welcome to the point of having to do all this is really not an o
