Steve's gaze at the student instantly turned sharp. How could it not, when that student happened to be Eric Daran, someone who was supposed to still be in jail and not out here.Steve Hart vividly remembered it had only been a few months since he had sent Eric to prison, so he was curious as to how Eric Daran could have gotten out, years earlier than he should have."Why? Are you puzzled as to how I could get out of that miserable place?" asked Eric Daran, his smile looking terrifying.Eric Daran held a deep grudge against Steve Hart; he always wanted to be in this situation, where Steve was right in front of him and he could exact his revenge for the time he spent locked up."No need to wonder, with my family's influence, they could get me out as easily as flipping their hand. The prison term was merely a formality, you scoundrel!" exclaimed Eric Daran.Steve Hart glanced at Agatha, wondering if Agatha already knew that Eric had been released from his sentence.Agatha shook her head
Amid the confusion felt by Eric Daran, someone from the crowd suddenly approached him.It was Alan Wilson, Eric's friend who had once claimed to be the owner of Steve Hart's Bugatti Chiron."Eric, you're finally back?" asked Alan Wilson.Aware of his friend's presence, Eric immediately inquired about the source of his confusion.Eric wanted to know why every student there seemed to praise Steve rather than criticize him; it seemed illogical because it had never been this way before.With hesitation, Alan Wilson said, "Oh, maybe you don't know after being away for so long... no... I mean, in jail..."Frowning, Eric was surprised that his friend knew about his time in prison. He had spread false rumors about going abroad to save his dignity."Damn, did someone tell you about my whereabouts all this time?" Eric asked curiously.Alan Wilson finally glanced at Steve Hart, reluctant to admit he had heard it from him.Eric quickly realized the situation; with just one look from his friend, h
Just as Eric Daran had seemed to fear Steve's dominance, a strong instinct suddenly arose in Steve's chest. Seeing that the people who once despised him were now beginning to anticipate his existence, Steve felt the need to increase the potential for dominance that he could develop.That is why, a few days after Eric Daran's defeat, Steve invited Helena and Aria to Belvoir Mansion.Steve had called the two of them there because he had an urgent need related to the mission he had just received, for which the two of them were most likely the most appropriate people to help him. Coincidentally, the mission he had to carry out at the moment was the same one he wanted to do.[The mission raises prestige, leave the Host's miserable life behind completely and become a completely different person. The host's balance will be increased to 1 billion dollars as a reward for mission success]Steve looked at the system message regarding his mission, he already had an idea of what needed to be done
After seeing Steve Hart's presence at the party, Agatha immediately had the urge to confirm what she had just seen."Agatha, where are you going?" asked Callista Cattegirn, she found it strange that Agatha suddenly wanted to leave her.Agatha ignored Callista's words, she quickly stepped to where Steve was before."Where is he, wasn't he here just now? Or, am I just looking at it wrong?" Agatha muttered to herself.Agatha Cattegirn did not find Steve Hart among the crowd of people attending the party. In fact, Agatha was very sure that her vision could not be wrong."Damn, am I even starting to hallucinate now?" Agatha was full of questions, worried that this was what was happening to her.The figure of Steve Hart had been occupying Agatha's mind for some time now, this was due to the anxiety Agatha felt about not wanting a divorce.Amidst the crowd of people attending the party, Agatha noticed that several people she knew were now walking towards her.Agatha recognized one of them ve
Steve Hart chose to try not to pay attention to every pair of eyes that were now staring at him, he preferred to continue walking towards Agatha who seemed to be depressed due to Eric Daran's previous remarks.Steve Hart has been watching Agatha since the party started at his mansion, he watched it all from the second floor so he knew exactly what was going on.Steve Hart knew how Eric kept trying to bully Agatha, as well as how Eric dared to incite everyone there to support him in pressuring Agatha.Steve Hart, who knew that it could all happen because Agatha was trying to defend him, certainly couldn't keep quiet.After walking down the stairs, it wasn't long before Steve Hart arrived in front of Agatha. Steve looked deeply into Agatha's eyes, he felt sorry that Agatha had to experience all that at the party he organized."Steve... is that you?" asked Agatha, who was unsure and even tried to touch Steve Hart's cheek with her fingers.Steve Hart just nodded with a faint smile on his
Knowing that Steve Hart now expects him to apologize, Eric Daran did not accept. He felt that his self-esteem would fall if he did so, especially since he had to do it in front of all the young people of the rich family who were now attending the party.Although Eric Daran was not fully convinced that the man in front of him was Steve Hart, the man's voice and style of speaking to him really resembled the Steve Hart he knew. Thismade Eric even more convinced to refuse to apologize following Steve's demands on him."Apologize to you? Seriously? I'd rather die than do that!" exclaimed Eric Daran.Instead of getting angry, Steve Hart laughed, immediately glancing at several people there to show his dissatisfaction.Those who attended the party immediately realized that Steve Hart was now disappointed, those who came because they really wanted to get to know the owner of the mansion who turned out to be Steve Hart himself, immediately tried to look good in front of Steve Hart by pressuri
At midnight on the same day, Steve Hart was leaning back on the sofa relaxing his body, the party had just ended and everyone had left including Agatha. Now, only Steve and a few servants were left who seemed to be busy cleaning the mansion."Mr. Steve, we have cleaned your mansion. We would like permission to take a break if you please," said one of the servants.Steve said yes, the servants had been working at the mansion for quite some time and he knew they must be tired from helping Aria set up the party as well as cleaning up afterwards.After the servants went to the rooms that were reserved for them, Steve thought about going to his room as well to get some rest. However, before he could do that, Belvoir Mansion security suddenly approached him with a worried face."What's wrong?" asked Steve Hart curiously."Sir, there are some people looking for you," said the security report.Steve Hart frowned, he didn't think he had any acquaintances who would come at midnight like now."W
After his punch knocked out one of the dozen thugs, Steve realized the remaining thugs were wary and no longer underestimated him. However, Steve didn't think too much of it because he was confident that he would still be able to win against all of them."Now, you're going to feel my fists hitting your faces!" exclaimed Steve Hart as he began to move toward some of the nearby thugs.Steve Hart swung his fists every chance he got, but his fists, which the thugs had been wary of, kept the thugs at bay.Steve Hart, who managed to swing his fists with ease and without hindrance, had now managed to knock out quite a few of the dozen thugs. This made the remaining thugs begin to retreat to think of ways to deal with Steve Hart who looked so savage in their eyes."Damn, he's good at fighting!" one of them exclaimed.The remaining thugs immediately nodded in agreement, they had all lived hard lives since childhood but this was the first time they had faced someone as tough as Steve Hart.They
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
