On the way back to the Cattegirn family home, Agatha suddenly asked Steve to turn the car around."Steve, can you take me to my office? My mom and dad aren't back yet so I have to keep working today," Agatha said, forgetting her work because of her desire to accompany Steve earlier.Steve simply agreed to Agatha's request, knowing that Agatha would most likely get angry if he refused. After they arrived, Agatha immediately prepared to enter her company's building.Before Agatha could enter, Steve had already stopped her to say something.Steve intended to ask Agatha for permission to return to his parents' house, he wanted to check on his mother's condition and accompany her there.Steve realized that his mother was not fully recovered, which, his presence by her side was very much needed at a time like this."I want to go somewhere so I won't be home today, I hope you will be okay with my decision."Agatha Cattegirn immediately looked at Steve suspiciously, she was afraid that Steve
Steve began to feel that everything made sense after reading the description of the mission he had just received; he also came to understand why almost everyone he met in the neighborhood seemed to have a glum expression on their face."Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign the paperwork in place of your mom!" one of the thugs shouted at Steve Hart.Steve Hart ignored the remark, preferring to read the file to confirm his guess.Steve frowned after reading everything in the file. Which, the file contains a request to buy a house and land at a price far below the original price."You're asking my mom to sell her house for only ten thousand dollars? Are you crazy or what?" Steve Harr asked the two thugs in an unaccepting tone.His mother's house may be small and not at all luxurious. However, 10,000 dollars is really far below what it should be worth."What's the problem? Everyone who lives in this neighborhood is getting similar offers, some of them are smart enough to sign
The two thugs immediately felt remorseful after finding out they had crossed paths with someone they could not handle, they never had any idea that Steve was this tough."What's wrong? Come attack me again," said Steve Hart challenging the two.The two thugs refused to be provoked by Steve's words, they didn't want to be more battered than this.Steve just smiled sarcastically knowing both of them did not dare, he was already very confident because of the martial arts skills he had from the system.Steve Hart had even defeated quite a few trained people like the police in his sparring, having to face thugs like these two was definitely nothing for him."S- sir, please forgive our carelessness. We regret offending you," said one of the two thugs."What my friend said is true, sir. Please let us go, we promise not to come here again." The other thug replied.Steve Hart refused to let them go, he was sure they would still come in the future because of orders from their boss.Steve Hart w
After Steve managed to put two thugs who had been troubling the neighborhood in jail, Steve decided to stay longer at his mother's house.Steve believes that the problems in the neighborhood are not over yet. Not to mention, he now has a mission related to them that must be completed immediately.[Free the neighborhood from eviction, a Feature will be given to the Host as a success reward]Steve looked at the mission message from the system that had appeared since yesterday. Which, Steve still didn't have a plan to be able to complete the mission.Steve originally intended to wait because he was sure that the bosses of the two previous thugs would definitely not keep quiet. However, Steve didn't know how long to wait until the mastermind of it all showed himself to him."I can't just stay like this," Steve Hart muttered.Steve chose to say goodbye to his mother by saying he wanted to go out for a breath of fresh air. Which, Steve immediately approached the neighbors around his house t
They were all surprised to see what Steve had just done, they didn't expect Steve to be able to make those who were experience thugs fall so easily.Seeing this, Frank Foster did not remain silent. His pride would be hurt if he left Steve alone after making the thugs he paid seem unable to do anything."You guys, what are you waiting for? Punish him!" Frank Foster shouted to his hired thugs.The thugs immediately set out to do as Frank asked. However, Steve Hart was much stronger than any of them.Some of the thugs had tried to attack Steve to immobilize him. However, those who tried to do so fell to the ground as Steve's punches hit them in the face before they could do anything.None of the thugs who had tried to attack managed to land their punches, Steve's punches were so much faster than theirs that they would find themselves down before they could get up."What the hell is going on?""Damn, I didn't expect him to be this strong!"The remaining thugs stared in disbelief at their
Steve Hart looked at the young girl in front of him quite intently, this made the girl a little misty-eyed because she recognized who Steve Hart was."Your face is familiar, have we met before?" asked Steve Hart.The young girl confirmed that they had indeed met, she also introduced herself which Steve Hart still remembered."I- I'm Bella Foster, we met at a car dealership not long ago," Bella said with mixed feelings, she still remembered how Steve had managed to make her lose her face at that time.Steve Hart nodded in understanding, he felt that everything made sense why Bella could act so annoying when she first met him.Frank Foster, who is Bella's father, Steve realizes has a similar temperament, so it is not strange if the annoying and arrogant temperament is passed down to Bella, his daughter."My daughter, do you know him?" asked Frank Foster after seeing Bella chatting with Steve Hart.Bella nodded her head, "I do, Dad."Hearing this, Frank immediately felt relieved. He thou
After his dealings with Foster Construction were over, Steve decided to return to break the news to the people of the neighborhood.They welcomed the news brought by Steve, they also thanked Steve for being willing to help until the end of the problem that was happening in the neighborhood.They considered Steve a hero because of what Steve had done. This made many local people come to Steve's house to thank him and give him gifts.Some people even came to Steve's house to give him money in return, which of course wasn't much considering that most of them were poor people. However, Steve firmly refused gifts from everyone who came because he knew that everyone needed the money more.Steve knows that the surrounding community lives far from affluent. This made Steve only willing to accept their thanks but not their gifts.That morning, Steve was all dressed up as he prepared to leave. He had been staying at his mother's house for a few days so he had to go back to his wife's family soo
After insulting Steve Hart, Olivia Cattegirn, Steve Hart's mother-in-law, pulled Steve Hart's hand somewhere.Steve just followed where Olivia pulled him, before seeing Agatha as well as a 60-year-old man sitting together at the dinner table.Agatha Cattegirn was surprised to learn that Steve Hart had returned, she regretted that of all the other opportunities, why Steve Hart even went home when the atmosphere in her house was so crowded with her family.Agatha was worried that Steve Hart would receive a lot of insults there. However, she could not do anything about it.Jason Cattegirn, the man sitting next to Agatha, looked at Steve Hart sharply with an authoritative look in his eyes.Steve Hart only bowed before Jason, the man was his father-in-law who always disliked having people look him in the eye."I heard from my wife, you've been out a lot lately?" Jason asked coldly."I went out because I had some business, Dad," Steve Hart tried to explain.Jason Cattegirn gave Steve an unh
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
