"Just come with me, you troublemaker!" exclaimed the bar security, tugging on Steve's arm.
"No, get away from me!" Steve Hart tried to struggle to release the security bar's grip on his arm, but was unsuccessful due to the difference in their strength.
"Don’t bother yourself fighting back, rubbish! Just go and I’ll take care of Agatha," Eric Daran said with a smirk on his face.
Steve's anger immediately provoked after seeing a smirk on Eric’s face, Steve began to think of ways to release the grip of the security hand so that he could beat Eric who had dared to be presumptuous.
In the midst of it all, a woman's familiar voice shout out and brought everything that was happening to a sudden halt.
"What's going on... Steve, why are you here?" Agatha rubbed her eyes several times, as if confused by what was happening.
"Get your hand off my arm!" Steve shouted at the security bar, which surprised the security bar into releasing its grip.
At that moment, Eric tried to explain to Agatha with his nonsense. Eric said Steve suddenly messed up when Agatha was unconscious, even hitting her who knew nothing.
Steve was clearly getting angry hearing that, it was obvious that Eric was trying to get sympathy from Agatha by accusing her of nonsense.
"Steve, is what Eric said true?" Agatha asked.
Surprisingly, Agatha was not immediately angry. She seemed to be waiting for an explanation from Steve, which made Steve a little relieved.
"That's not true, I came because I saw that bastard wanting to do bad things to you," Steve Hart explained while pointing at Eric Daran with his finger.
"What kind of nonsense did you just say-"
"Shut up!" snapped Agatha, cutting Eric Daran off.
Eric was immediately stunned by this, after which he said, "Agatha, you know it's just his bullshit, right? How could you choose to believe him over me?"
Agatha was silent for a moment, she looked at Eric with an unpleasant look in her eyes before saying,
"Disgusting."
A boulder seemed to fall on Eric's head the moment he heard this, his mouth was locked because he still couldn't believe what Agatha had just told him.
"Move aside, you disgusting bastard!" Steve said as he pushed Eric away from Agatha.
"Steve, take me home. And... thank you ...."
Agatha lost consciousness again, which made Steve want to quickly bring Agatha home so that his wife could rest more comfortably.
Steve immediately carried Agatha on his back. Before he left, there were things he wanted to do for the purpose of completing the mission given by the System.
"Hey, you. Are you just going to keep quiet even after hearing the truth with your own ears?" asked Steve Hart in a cold tone to the bar security.
The security guard, who was initially stunned, immediately bowed apologetically while admitting his carelessness.
"Please do not prolong this matter, sir. Please also tell Miss Agatha that I am very sorry for daring to doubt your words."
"Miss? Agatha already has a husband," said Steve Hart.
"Ohh... I mean Mrs. Agatha, sir."
Steve Hart nodded in satisfaction, after which he glanced at Eric who seemed to be staring blankly at Agatha with mixed feelings.
Steve Hart was not unaware of what Eric might be feeling right now, being called "disgusting" by Agatha whom he had liked for a long time, must have left a trauma for Eric.
"Pay attention to where you want to put your hands on my wife next time, understand?"
Eric just didn't answer Steve Hart's question. Whether he didn't hear or what, Steve didn't care and assumed Eric had understood.
Steve Hart afterwards stepped over to one of the waiters, wanting to do the last thing there.
"I'd like to pay for every single thing the diners here order," said Steve Hart.
The waiter was surprised, but not for long, because he immediately called his friend to help calculate the cost of each person's order.
"Don't bother counting, is $100,000 enough?" asked Steve Hart.
"Ehhh... that's too much, sir," said the waiter who again had to be surprised.
"Just use this money to pay for what they will order later, if there is still more, then you can consider it as a tip from me," said Steve Hart.
The waiter nodded in understanding, Steve Hart immediately made the payment through mobile banking on his mobile phone and this surprised everyone there.
Once the people at the bar heard that Steve had paid their bill, they started to look at him differently. It was as if there was both admiration and wonderment about who Steve Hart really was.
"Enjoy your party, everyone. Next time you see something like this, I hope you won't support someone who is clearly in the wrong, Eric has clearly been feeding alcohol to my wife, it doesn't matter if he's rich, the truth must prevail," Steve Hart told everyone there, hoping they would all take the night as a lesson.
Many of the students in the bar listened to what Steve had said. Somehow, some of them began to guess that Steve might have an extraordinary identity.
‘But, how can Eric stated that Steve is a useless son in law?’ murmured one of Eric’s friend in astonishment. He began to cursed Eric in his heart because if he dared to offend Steve because of Eric’s provoke, he will regret his action so much.
Steve Hart walked out of the bar with a still unconscious Agatha on his back, he felt that his business was done and so was his mission.
Sure enough, not long after that, a notification from the system appeared in front of him.
[Mission accomplished, saving Agatha and proving yourself as a charismatic husband has been done perfectly by the Host!]
[The money that the Host has used for the mission is 100,000 dollars, since the mission was completed so well, it will be multiplied by five as a success bonus.]
"Multiplied by five instead of two? Doesn't that mean ...."
Before Steve Hart could finish his sentence, an incoming message arrived on his mobile phone.
It was a message of 500,000 dollars coming into his account, making Steve determined to do the mission even better in the future.
After Steve left, the atmosphere in the bar immediately broke. They all expressed their admiration for Steve, who was reportedly just a useless scum before.
"What rubbish, he didn't even hesitate to spend $100,000 just to pay for our drinks."
"Right, if someone like that is trash, then what are we?"
Many of them began to doubt the bad news about Steve, $100,000 might not be that much for those from wealthy families. However, to spend it without the slightest hesitation like Steve had just done, almost none of them were willing to do so.
Among all of them who were rejoicing at being able to drink to their heart's content, there was one person who seemed to be trying to hold back his anger.
"Damn it, wait for my turn," Eric Daran muttered with his fists clenched tightly.
Agatha Cattegirn had just opened her eyes when the dizziness hit her head, she tried to remember what had happened to her."Are you feeling better?"A familiar voice rang out, Agatha immediately turned her head to see who was speaking.Steve Hart was sitting beside Agatha while driving the car, this made Agatha wonder even more about what had just happened to her."Why are you here? Not to mention... didn't I tell you before, that I can't go home yet because I must join the welcoming party?"Steve Hart frowned, wondering if Agatha really did not remember what had happened."I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous, but I had to pick you up from the party because of an urgent matter," explained Steve Hart, "You're probably still feeling fuzzy from the effects of the too much alcohol you had earlier."Not to mention, Steve was also unsure if Agatha would still have faith in him if she was fully sober at the bar."Did something bad happen to make you do that?" asked Agatha Cattegirn, feeling
After Callista managed to get Steve away from the Cattegirn family mansion, she finally loosened her grip on Steve's arm.Steve Hart glanced at his surroundings, it was a street with trees on the right and left sides. There are almost no other houses, because the area is indeed an elite area where the distance between houses is quite far.Steve Hart, who already knew there was something bad Callista wanted to do to him, immediately put his guard up because the unexpected could happen at any time.Sure enough, not long from behind one of the trees appeared a man who was none other than Eric Daran."Is he going to help you to make me regret it?" asked Steve Hart to Callista.Callista just didn't respond, in addition, Eric continued to walk closer before swinging his fist at Steve.Steve Hart, who was alert from the start, was able to avoid the punch quite easily, this made Eric even more dark eyes by continuing to try to land his punches on Steve.In the middle of each of Eric's punches
In the midst of the argument between Callista and Eric, Steve Hart tried to get up with his remaining strength.What Steve Hart did, immediately caught Callista's attention. The woman immediately told this to Eric, who was previously still busy explaining how his money could make it easier for them to escape the law."In your thought, having money means you can do everything, right?" asked Steve Hart to Eric.Eric Daran was taken aback, but the shock was soon replaced by a sardonic smile."Exactly, that's why scum like you shouldn't look for trouble with me."Steve Hart smiled sarcastically at that, much to the astonishment of both Callista and Eric."Hey, have you lost your sanity?" asked Callista Cattegirn.“So what? After all, my sanity has been lost for a long time, precisely after I stepped into your rotten Cattegirn family," replied Steve Hart, himself not sure what underlies his courage to say it all.Callista's face immediately turned ugly, "Eric, do something. Finish him or m
Steve Hart hurriedly made his way back to the Cattegirn family residence, concerned that Callista might divulge something unsettling to Agatha about what had just happened.Upon Steve's arrival at home, he found Agatha in the living room, enjoying her breakfast."What happened to you?" Agatha inquired, eyeing Steve's bruised face."Oh, just a tumble during my morning run," Steve explained.Agatha nodded, leaving Steve wondering if she had heard anything about the recent events from Callista."What's up?" Agatha asked, sensing something odd about Steve's demeanor."Oh, it's nothing... have you seen Callista by any chance?""Callista? Was she here? Where? I didn't see her," Agatha replied, glancing around the house.Steve sighed in relief, realizing that Callista had likely left immediately after picking up her forgotten car."Hufthhh... seems like maintaining one's dignity pays off," Steve muttered.Steve had a sense of why Callista might have withheld the recent happenings – not wanti
The store manager had discussed Agatha's request with his staff, and in the end, they could only approach Agatha with somewhat displeased expressions on their faces.Agatha immediately sensed what the manager wanted to convey and felt deeply disappointed."Miss Agatha, although this seems unlikely... I can try to arrange it if you truly want to have this diamond necklace," the manager suddenly said."Can you? If it's possible, please make it happen," Agatha replied.A meaningful smile appeared on the manager's face, triggering suspicion in Steve Hart's mind."What about a dinner with me? I can provide you with this diamond necklace with the money you have now. But you'll need to pay the rest soon because my boss will be upset if he finds out about this," the store manager explained with a broad smile.Steve Hart immediately clenched his fists, confirming the manager's interest in Agatha.Steve Hart wanted to persuade Agatha to reject the store manager's proposal, although it seemed un
"Sir, stop fooling around and leave." The store manager seemed annoyed with Steve Hart's nonsense, thinking Steve was doing all this just to disturb him from getting closer to Agatha.Feeling the situation becoming more complicated, Agatha, who had been silent until then, finally made a decision."Steve, forget about the necklace; let's just leave," Agatha said, intending to pull Steve's arm to leave the place."No, you really want the necklace, right? If it is so, just wait for me a moment. I'll pay it for you." Steve Hart released Agatha's hand from his arm's grip.Agatha was genuinely curious about what made Steve seem different, as if he could truly follow through on what he said."Can you trust me... just this once?" asked Steve to Agatha.Steve's words carried a lot of seriousness, melting Agatha's resolve and somehow letting Steve proceed with what he wanted to do.Feeling that he had gained Agatha's approval, Steve was determined to get it done faster.Steve attempted again to
On the way back home, Agatha remained silent. Her mind was filled with various troubling questions. Meanwhile, Steve realized something; from the start, Agatha had been clutching tightly onto the necklace pendant that now adorned her neck in a beautiful loop.‘Does she truly harbor feelings for me?’ Steve mused quietly to himself. ‘Damn it! Here I am, ruminating on trivialities again,’ he chided himself in silence.Midway through their journey, Agatha, who had been silent from the outset, suddenly initiated a conversation. "Steve, where did you get a million dollars to buy this necklace?"Steve Hart paused for a moment, unsure how to explain. Even if he tried to convey the intricacies of his system to Agatha, he was certain she'd deem him insane."For now, I can't delve into the details. But rest assured, I've never engaged in anything criminal to earn money," Steve replied vaguely.Agatha furrowed her brow, compelling Steve to sense the need for a more detailed explanation.Rubbing h
Steve Hart continued to read the newly opened feature. Right in front of him was the name of the feature, and Steve was somewhat puzzled by it.[Incident Recorder Feature:-Incidents inside the bar Price: 1 million dollars-Incidents near the Cattegirn family residence Price: 1 million dollars]‘System, what does this feature mean?’ murmured Steve Hart.[The Incident Recorder Feature allows the system to record incidents experienced by the Host, similar to CCTV; the recorded footage will be sent to the Host's phone after purchase.]Steve Hart looked at the message, without hesitation, and immediately purchased two recordings from the feature. "Alright, I want to buy it."[Ding!][Purchase Processed][Balance Deducted][Purchase Successful, incident recordings will be sent to the Host's phone...][Ding!][Video recordings have been successfully sent to the Host's phone!]Steve Hart immediately checked his phone as a message arrived. Opening the message, it contained video recordings of
