"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
Helena Halbert initially aimed to use all her connections to find her father's rescuer, little did she know they would meet at the hospital."Sir, I'm grateful to meet you earlier than expected." Helena held Steve's hands tightly, intending to emphasize her sincerity.Steve nodded awkwardly, unsure how to react to this unexpected encounter."Oh, Sir, I want to apologize for doubting your medical abilities before," Helena Halbert said with an akward smile, embarrassed by her actions, "And also, I want to thank you for your kindness in helping my father.""No need to worry, it was just coincidence," Steve Hart replied, returning Helena's smile, occasionally glancing at her hands still gripping his tightly.Helena realized this and quickly released her grip, unaware she had held Steve's hand for so long. "I—I didn't mean to.""It's okay, I don't mind," Steve replied casually.Unknowingly, Helena's eyes widened; she found herself admiring Steve Hart's courteous demeanor. Moreover, she fel
The Cattegirn family, who had lost their weapon to fight against Steve Hart, ultimately had to surrender. They tried to figure out ways to calm Steve Hart's anger, which was now glaring at them so sharply."Darn it, what's happening? Are we going to lose all our assets?""What are you talking about? We wouldn't lose everything if we had just accepted Steve Hart's offer from the beginning. If we did, at least Steve Hart would have kindly let us continue enjoying all those assets.""You're right, we messed up."Almost the entire Cattegirn family agreed that their stubbornness had indeed led to losses. Their refusal to submit to Steve Hart now was leading them to ruin."Uncle Jason, please do something.""That's right, Brother Jason. If necessary, tell Steve Hart that we accept his offer.""I agree, at least that's the only way for us not to end up living as beggars after daring to offend him."All the other members of Cattegirn family began pleading with Jason and Olivia to resolve the
"Am I late?"A beautiful girl entered as if nothing had happened, casually approaching Steve to join Brandon in standing by Steve Hart's side."I, Helena Halbert, will represent the Halbert family in expressing support for Steve Hart. Whatever happens here, even if it means offending the Bridge family, the Halbert family will do its best to prove its seriousness in support," Helena said loudly so that everyone there could hear her."Helena, what do you mean? Why is the Halbert family doing this? Does that scumbag deserve your support like this?" Mark Bridge asked, not expecting Brandon alone to support Steve Hart, let alone Helena.Mark, who initially believed he could stubbornly make Agatha his fiancée, suddenly doubted whether this was worth it or not.Mark might still have confidence in handling the Lee family easily, but if the Halbert family also intervened, then this was a different story.The Bridge family might be strong and surpass the other two influential families in Avebur
BAM!Steve Hart's punch landed squarely on Mark's chin, causing Mark to stagger before falling because he wasn't prepared for it."Damn it! How dare you!""Everyone, move to protect Mr. Mark right now!""Stay away from Mr. Mark, hit him if necessary if he keeps trying to resist!"Quite a few people in the living room reacted strongly to Steve Hart's punch. Steve Hart didn't recognize who they were, but he could guess that they had come with Mark."Darn, for someone who dares to try to put your hands on my wife, you're quite the coward," Steve Hart said to Mark.Mark Bridge heard this and immediately ordered them to stop. Mark didn't want them to get involved because it would hurt his pride."Haha, you can go," Mark said, rising from his fall."Mr. Mark, are you okay?""Mr. Mark, why are you stopping us from teaching him a lesson?""Mr. Mark, that scumbag has gone too far, he should at least feel a few broken bones as punishment."The people stopped by Mark seemed dissatisfied; they qu
Steve Hart returned to the living room with confidence, the presence of Mark Bridge not bothering him in the slightest, let alone making him fearful.Simultaneously with Steve Hart's appearance, Agatha followed closely behind him. Agatha seemed to be hiding behind Steve Hart, afraid of every person in the living room, not wanting to feel the hateful gazes from them due to her sudden change of decision.Initially, Agatha had agreed to her engagement, pressured by her family to make that decision. Seeing her suddenly change her mind naturally angered every Cattegirn family member present.The Cattegirn family felt betrayed by Agatha, their sole rescuer, if only Agatha hadn't suddenly turned to side with Steve Hart like she was doing now."Agatha, what is the meaning of all this?!""Agatha, didn't you already agree to this engagement?!""Agatha, are you insane to decide to side with him and plan to disrupt your engagement with Mark?!"Each member of the Cattegirn family present asked ang
Steve's sudden entrance truly succeeded in catching the entire household off guard. The living room was indeed bustling with activity, mostly from the Cattegirn family, but there were also quite a few unfamiliar faces that Steve didn't know."Am I interrupting your event?" Steve Hart asked, his tone piercingly cold to those who heard it.Steve's question was not well-received by most people there; one of them even approached Steve with an angry expression.Olivia Cattegirn, Steve's mother-in-law, approached him and promptly pulled him away from the living room."What wicked plans do you have by coming here?!" Olivia exclaimed loudly, simultaneously slapping Steve's hand.Steve raised his eyebrows; he remembered vividly how just a few days ago, his mother-in-law seemed so hesitant and even afraid of him. Now, that fear seemed to have vanished, and Olivia appeared to be back to treating Steve as she pleased.Steve didn't dwell on Olivia's change in attitude. However, he already knew the
In the luxurious courtyard of the Cattegirn family mansion, Steve could see it bustling with invited guests, all of whom seemed surprised by his presence, as if his arrival was the last thing they expected."What's he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be kicked out?""Maybe he's here to deal with his divorce from Agatha. Just let it be, there's no need to pay him any mind."Steve overheard the nearby conversations clearly, which only fueled his anger.Steve knew exactly why they were all gathered at his wife's family home. He had heard it from Brandon that the Cattegirn family was secretly attempting to arrange a marriage for Agatha behind his back."Agatha hasn't even divorced me yet, and you're all rushing to make decisions," Steve Hart muttered.Steve questioned what the Cattegirn family truly thought of him, realizing how much they were belittling him and disregarding his existence.Steve could entertain such thoughts because the marriage arrangement the Cattegirns were attempting
Having to endure the barrage of punches from Steve Hart, Howard, accustomed to instilling fear and commanding respect from others, suddenly found himself questioning his own abilities.This dealt a severe blow to Howard's pride. His confidence waned, along with his courage. Confronting Steve Hart, who stood before him, Howard realized the extent of his terror, rendering him powerless against Steve's onslaught."W-Wait, please cease hitting me," Howard pleaded softly, gazing at Steve Hart, yet Steve appeared disinclined to comply."Why should I acquiesce to your request?" Steve countered.Howard clenched his teeth, feeling overwhelmed by it all, then erupted vehemently, "Enough, you lunatic!"Howard's shout managed to stun Steve Hart for a moment. Seeing an opportunity, Howard immediately tried to break free from Steve Hart before running as fast as he could to escape from there.Steve just watched Howard running away from him, he had no desire to chase him, thinking it would just be a
After hearing the disrespectful words spewing from Steve Hart's mouth, Howard Harris immediately took steps to attack Steve Hart.Howard attempted to strike Steve Hart with all his might, intending to make Steve Hart fall with a single blow."Damn, do you even know who I am?" Howard asked as he swung his fist.Howard's punch was easily handled by Steve Hart, who dodged it effortlessly, almost as if he had done it without even trying.Howard Harris didn't give up after Steve Hart successfully avoided his first punch. He immediately tried to swing another punch, this time aiming for Steve Hart's abdomen.Steve quickly leaped backward before the punch could land on his abdomen, once again successfully evading Howard's attempted punch."You're quite impressive," Howard Harris said.Steve Hart smirked, "I could do it because your punch was too weak, there's nothing to boast about in that."Howard Harris glared at Steve Hart sharply, suspecting that Steve didn't know who he was to dare say
Steve Hart left the hospital with a wide smile on his face, not expecting his plan to instill a sense of remorse in Daniel to go so smoothly, but everything went according to his expectations.The $10 billion now in his pocket was evidence of his success, making Steve even more excited to step into a brighter future.The success of making Daniel realize his mistake didn't satisfy Steve. He felt there was one more thing he needed to do, which was to get an answer from the Cattegirn family regarding his offer.After a few days had passed, Steve felt it was enough time for his in-laws to decide on his offer. This prompted him to drive his car to the main house of the Cattegirn family to get the awaited answer.Steve arrived there with high hopes that his in-laws would accept his offer, especially since he made the offer solely for the happiness of Agatha, his wife.On his way to his wife's family house, Steve saw a girl who seemed quite familiar to him.The location where Steve saw the g
