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 maim him for life, I don't care about the consequences anymore."

Eric Daran nodded his head in agreement, this was what he had wanted to do from the beginning before Callista interfered earlier.

"Rubbish, is there any last words from you before you die?" asked Eric Daran, as he took a step towards Steve.

"I should be the one asking that," said Steve Hart.

"This scum hasn't realised the situation yet," said Eric Daran with a displeased face.

Steve Hart realised he couldn't fight Eric in his current state, making Steve even more convinced of his plan to change things.

"Hey, guys."

Steve Hart suddenly spoke to the five big men who had beaten him.

"How much are you getting paid to do all this?" Steve Hart asked the five.

The five were wordless, wondering why Steve was asking them that.

Not only the five, Callista also Eric showed similar curiosity.

"Let's just say, I'll pay double what you've already received so you're willing to beat him back up," Steve Hart continued while pointing at Eric.

The five big men each raised their eyebrows, quite tempted by the offer.

"Nonsense, scum like you have the money to pay them!" exclaimed Eric Daran.

Steve Hart did not respond to Eric's exclamation, opting to continue persuading the five big men to be his man.

"500,000 dollars, is that enough to make you guys turn away from him and help me?" Steve Hart without hesitation.

Eric Daran, who was getting tired of hearing the nonsense that kept coming out of Steve's mouth, finally tried to swing his punches to shut Steve up.

Before Eric's punch had hit Steve, one of the five big men stopped him and even pushed Eric away until he fell afterwards.

"You guys... what's in your brains?" Eric Daran asked the five big men.

The five were now standing in front of Steve to protect him, which angered Eric because he was the first to pay them.

"Shit, do you really think trash like that can pay?" asked Eric Daran incredulously.

"Whether we can or not is our business with him, who do you think you are to organise us?"

"I'm the one who paid you, you bastards!" exclaimed Eric Daran.

The five big men burst into laughter at that moment, not long after which one of them said, "You paid us $25,000, is that even worth the $500,000 he promised?"

Eric Daran, who knows all too well how poor Steve Hart is, immediately cursed in annoyance.

"Do it then, let's see how you'll regret being duped by him!"

Steve Hart let out a long sigh at the whole conversation, finding it ironic that Eric was cornered because of the money he was always so proud of.

"Now, tell us what to do, sir?" one of the five asked Steve.

"Make him suffer more than me," said Steve Hart.

"Before we do that, you do have the money, don't you?" one of them asked for confirmation.

"Just do it, you can do anything to me if I don't pay."

Hearing Steve Hart's words, the five big men immediately surrounded Eric. It was exactly the same situation as how they had beaten Steve.

"Damn it, I Eric Daran will not allow this!" Eric exclaimed.

"Shut your mouth and grit your teeth."

The five big men immediately began beating Eric similar to what they had done to Steve.

Steve Hart looked on with a flat, expressionless face. His anger at Eric, really made him want to see Eric suffer far worse than the suffering he had always felt.

"Sir, can we stop this yet?" one of the five asked Steve.

Eric Daran's condition was already so bad, the man didn't even seem to have the energy to get up from where he was.

"Rubbish, you'll regret it!" exclaimed Eric Daran.

Steve Hart raised his eyebrows, he had originally wanted to end it all, who would have thought it was Eric himself who rejected him.

"Do something about his mouth, I don't want to hear any more nonsense from him."

"Alright, sir."

Eric Daran who was already lying limp on the ground, could not do anything to resist. He seemed to just surrender as punch after punch hit his mouth area.

It didn't take long for several of Eric's teeth to fall out of place, a sign that the blows that had been dealt to him were no joke.

"Damn... forgive me," Eric Daran said.

Steve signalled for the five big men to stop, he might be upset, but he still had a limit to his actions.

"Is there anything else, sir?"

The five big men waited for orders from Steve, the $500,000 fee certainly wasn't meant to just take care of Eric and they understood this.

Steve Hart remained silent as his eyes fell on Callista, the woman seemingly transfixed and not moving an inch from her position.

"You... don't mess with me!" exclaimed Callista in a panic after noticing Steve's stare.

"I'm just following your game, is there anything wrong with that?" asked Steve Hart.

"Rubbish, just watch out you ...."

Callista immediately ran full of fear towards the Cattegirn residence, she felt that something bad would happen to her if she stayed there.

"Should we go after her?" asked one of the five big men.

"No need, maybe next time," said Steve Hart.

Steve Hart immediately transferred the money he promised to the five men, they seemed satisfied that Steve kept his promise.

[The mission was completed, the money the Host had used for mission purposes was $500,000. As a reward, the Host will get double the amount]

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

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?

    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

    Upon hearing that Steve had something to prove his innocence, Agatha breathed a sigh of relief, but not Olivia."Trash, stop acting up and just follow the arrest procedure! I can't wait to see you in jail!" exclaimed Olivia Cattegirn, feeling this was her chance to distance Agatha from the useless man that was Steve."Mother-in-law, I'm still your son-in-law. How could you say something like that?" asked Steve Hart, feeling his mother-in-law had crossed a line."Which mother in this world would want her daughter to marry someone like you? It's better for you to rot in jail so my daughter can have a brighter future!"Steve Hart sighed deeply, realizing that was the reason Olivia wanted to see him arrested. Because of this, he became more determined to turn the situation around.'Is the bright future she mentioned for Agatha to live with that damn guy?' thought Steve, glancing slightly towards Eric Daran.At this moment, Steve wanted to show Olivia how despicable Eric Daran's behavior t

Steve asked.Agatha seemed taken aback, not used to Steve addressing her by name without her usual title."Get ready, we're going out together tonight," Agatha said.Steve raised an eyebrow. "Where will we go?""Our high school reunion. Don't tell me you didn't know that agenda?" Agatha seemed incredulous.Steve shook his head. Since gradu

I suspect he's here just to stalk Agatha," Gerran stated.Everyone there immediately looked at Steve Hart with disgust, thinking he was shameless for doing something like that."Damn, it's been years, but this loser still hasn't changed.""Changed? How can you even think something like that could happen to him? Instead of changing, I'm sure his loser mentality has gotten worse," Gerran sneered.Steve Hart gritted his teeth, everyone there was busy mocking him without considering if it hurt him or not.

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

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'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.

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

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
