Los Angeles."She'll be happy with my gift." Steve, a 27-year-old young man, smiled happily while staring at the red velvet box he was holding. Today is the fourth anniversary of his relationship with his girlfriend, Emmy.The diamond sparkles in the sunlight, making Steve can't stop imagining his girlfriend's happy expression when she receives it.After walking to the Felix entertainment building for a few minutes, he approached the receptionist and mentioned Emmy's name."Right now, Ms. Emmy is busy. If you want to deliver the food, you can leave it with me," the pretty woman said ignorantly when she saw Steve wearing a waiter's uniform."I don't want to deliver food, but I have something to give her. It's very important, and I need to see her. Just for a minute." Steve was a little urgent."You're so stubborn! Besides, Miss Emmy wouldn't want to meet a poor man like you! Hurry up and go! Do you think I'm stupid?! I know you're Miss Emmy's fan who's trying to sneak in! I'm sick of s
"You will know it when you've met my father," the man replied.'Tsk!' Steve was annoyed that the man was delaying answering, even though he was very curious.Once at the bottom, the elevator opened, revealing a wealth of advanced technology as far as the eye could see.Steve was wide-eyed with shock. 'What is this place?' He glanced suspiciously at the man standing next to him, accusing him of dangerous experiments.However, Steve chose to remain silent. He didn't want to misspeak and put Cassandra in danger.The man guided Steve to all the mysterious rooms."Dad, I've brought it."The old man who was in a laboratory turned to his son. He smiled broadly when he saw Steve."Finally, I met you, son.""Who are you?""I'm Professor Alan."Steve didn't recognize the old man at all, but Alan seemed to."Have we ever known each other?""You may not know me, but I met you and made you the successful young man you are today."'What does he mean?" Steve muttered in surprise."Don't mince words.
The thugs led them to the headquarters, their hideout. They handcuffed Steve and Margaretha's legs and gagged them with handkerchiefs to prevent them from screaming for help and causing a public disturbance.Steve pretended to be limp from their knocks to find out the bandits' headquarters, as they might have Cassandra hidden there.The car entered the dense and steep forest until many times their car got stuck in the mud.'I bet they hid Cassandra here!' Steve's hunch grew stronger as the location could not be detected by the police or the common people.'I'll save you, Cassandra. Wait for me!' Steve muttered.After much effort, the car finally arrived at an old tree.Steve frowned in surprise when there were no buildings or houses in that place."Put them down!""Yes, boss!"Four men herded Steve and Margaretha out of the car and into the giant, monstrous-looking old tree.The sounds of crickets and forest animals rang out loudly, inviting horror.Steve hesitated and trembled with f
Steve tried to stay calm so as not to be suspected further. He climbed the janitor's fire escape, then glanced back to find the man still following him. 'Tsk!' Steve cursed to himself. Arriving on the thirteenth floor, Steve walked down the corridor to Max's mother's apartment unit, but the man was still following him. However, at the intersection of the corridor, the mysterious man made a turn, much to Steve's relief. Knock! Knock! Knock! Steve knocked on the door of Max's mom's apartment. Shortly after, an old woman opened the door and came out. "Who?" "I'm the janitor." Steve smiled kindly. Margaretha nodded. "Please come in." Steve entered the apartment and locked the door. He checked every corner of the room and funiture to make sure there were no listening devices. Margaretha frowned in confusion as Steve searched her apartment without permission. "What are you doing?" She asked. "What are you looking for in my apartment?" Steve approached Margaretha, and held h
Steve glanced around. Twenty plainclothes men surrounded him with weapons. Steve had no hope of escape. "You won't be able to fight all my men because I've trained them to kill humans." Max taunted as Steve looked deep in thought. 'Who the hell is that guy? Why does everyone in this place fear and respect him so much?' Steve muttered. "Answer my question, you idiot!" Max took offence to Steve ignoring him. "He's silent because he doesn't dare stand up to you, darling," Max's lover sneered at Steve. "Because you're the boss of the Philadelphia mafia." "You're our hero!" Max was a hero to them because he managed to fend off the cops who always wanted to arrest them. "He's right, Mr. Max. That man is a loser!" "Why aren't you escorted by your bodyguard when you want to make trouble with me?" Max mocked. "Why should I?" Steve asked coldly, making small talk. Max and everyone else were shocked. "Don't you know who I am?" Steve shook his head. "I don't want to know who you ar
Steve hung up while remembering when System told him about the item. Flashback on. Steve hurriedly fled Stephen's office after receiving the notification from the System. He hurriedly got into his car and drove away from the building. "What is that item?" Steve asked quickly and curiously. [The Tracking Item will track the target you've specified] "I'll buy it!" [You must have Cassandra's hair or blood for the Tracker item to track her] "Hair?" Steve immediately thought of Cassandra's comb. "I can find her hair." Steve immediately entered Cassandra's room at her apartment and looked for her comb on the dresser. "What are you looking for, Steve?" Charles was astonished to see his grandson rummaging through Cassandra's dresser. "It's okay, Grandpa." Steve smiled a little as he focused on searching. He had to keep the fact that Cassandra had been kidnapped a secret. If Charles found out, he would be in severe shock and pain. "You're not lying to me, are you?" Charles was su
"An hour?!" Steve was annoyed. "Stephen is such an asshole! He must have deliberately given me a little time so I wouldn't have a chance to find Cassandra using the system." Steve walked back and forth, biting his nails and trying to devise an idea to save Cassandra without giving up his company. He repeatedly checked the clock on his watch. Ten minutes had passed, but he hadn't come up with any ideas. If he used the system's help, it would take several days for the system to track Cassandra's whereabouts. "What should I do?" Steve was panicked and distressed. Stephen would not hesitate to kill Cassandra because he had a grudge against her for eliminating his father. On the other hand, he couldn't just hand over his company to that bastard either because his system would be gone forever. Stephen had to know that so Steve would have no power to protect his family. "Fu*k off!" "What's wrong with you, Mr. Alvarez? Why do you look upset?" Felix came over to his boss. "You just h
The next day, Stephen laughed wickedly while looking at the Rorizon Corp ownership documents in his hand. "Finally, I own Rorizon Corp. I'm now the richest man in the world."Shortly afterward, a woman walked in. "Asshole!""How dare you enter my office without permission." Stephen sneered. "Where are your manners?""I should have asked you, 'Where are your manners, you idiot'?! How dare you take over my brother's company!"Stephen chuckled mockingly. "Are you disappointed that you didn't become a rich man again? Do you regret it now and want to reconcile with me?""I'll never do that! I'd rather be poor than the wife of an asshole like you!""You're so stupid, Cassandra." Stephen took no offense because he was happy.Suddenly, a man entered the room. "Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Stephen.""What's happened?""There's someone here to see you." Lucas, Stephen's assistant, announced."Let him in."Lucas invited the visitor to enter after obtaining permission. A fifty-year-old man entered t
Steve was stunned as he remembered all the trouble he had been in from business rivalries, kidnappings, imprisonments, and torture just for completing missions. He even put his loved ones at risk. Charles tapped Steve on the shoulder again to encourage him. "Believe me. I just want you to be happy because you're still young." Steve sighed heavily and was forced to nod slowly. "All right. I'll obey you if it makes you happy." Steve reached for the pen as he said silently. 'I'm sorry, System. I can't complete the mission.' [I won't force you to complete the mission. But are you sure Stephen won't bother you and your family again after you sign the letter?"] Steve was pensive. [You will lose the System forever if you let it go. You won't be able to fight Stephen anymore to protect your family, while he can harm you and your loved ones easily with his System."] [Stephen will continue to regard you as his enemy because you killed his father. If you let me go, then you and all your
"All right. I'll hand over the company," Felix replied without hesitation."Felix, are you crazy?!" Steve protested, even though he owned the company, so Felix had no right to decide."But you have to let Alvarez go first," Felix demanded."I'm not a child you can lie to! Hand over all the Rorizon Corp documents and sign the transfer of ownership papers, then I'll release Alvarez."Felix gave Steve a quick glance to see his response. "Okay.""Felix! Don't do that! Or I'll make you regret it!" Steve's patience had run out. Unfortunately, Felix completely ignored his threats. He left after ordering all his subordinates to keep an eye on Stephen to prevent him from killing Steve.'Shit!' Steve cursed inwardly. If his assistant handed over the company, Stephen would successfully complete the mission and be the winner, and he would have no chance to defeat him.'I'm sorry, Mr. Alvarez. I had to do this because your life is worth more than anything else.'After a while, Felix returned to th
