"Why are you to meet me, brother?" Marco stared flatly at an old man walking towards him.

"I wanted to talk to you." Ramos sat down in front of Marco.

"About what?" Marco took a drag on his cigarette, then blew the smoke from his mouth into the air.

"It's about Audrey, my daughter."

"What happened to the woman? Is she up to no good again?"

"My daughter ran away."

Marco was neither surprised nor angry to hear that. "Didn't I tell you to lock her up until I finished destroying Alvarez?"

"But Alvarez and Charles are already bankrupt. I think it's fine to let her go." Ramos reasoned.

Marco chuckled wickedly. "You're right, but I want you to keep an eye on her."

"Why?"

"I'm still upset with Audrey. She's very unstable. Sometimes she wants revenge on Alvarez, but then she wants to marry the enemy," Marco explained.

"Even if my plan works, I don't want Audrey to marry Alvarez. There's a possibility that she might expose my identity and report me to the police. The image I've bui

    The old man smiled kindly at Steve. "You seem to be thinking about something complicated. What is it?"Steve was speechless. His body stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His heart was pounding unsteadily.'What is this asshole doing here?' He cursed to himself.Marco sat beside Steve while patting Steve's shoulder familiarly."You are Charles's grandson, right?"Steve nodded. "Yes."Marco chuckled. "I didn't expect Mr. Charles to have a great-grandson like you, Alvarez. Surprisingly, he never told me about it, even though we've been partners for decades.""But I also didn't expect you to suddenly go bankrupt like that." Marco wore a concerned expression. "I should have helped you."Steve smiled, trying to be calm. "I don't need anything. Thank you for your offer.""Then why are you here? You know discos are where people vent their frustration, disappointment, and anger.""I'm just tired from working all day, so I decided to rest here for a while." Steve denied it.Marco laugh

    "Where are you going, Sarah?" Charles asked as his daughter-in-law looked neat and pretty. "I want to apply for a job," Sarah replied with a smile. "I've cooked some food for you. If you're hungry, the food is ready." "Thank you very much, Sarah. Take care on the road. I hope you get the job you deserve." Sarah nodded and left the apartment. She walked the entire length of the sidewalk while entering one shop after another in search of work. "Sorry, Miss. We don't need any new employees." Despite her disappointment, Sarah smiled at the pastry shop manager. "Thank you very much for your time, Mister." As Sarah turned towards the exit, she overheard the conversation of the employees at the bakery. "Isn't that Sarah, the famous actress?" "Yes. I didn't expect her to be so poor now that she's begging for a job." Sarah rushed out of the shop before her tears could flow. She was saddened when everyone sneered at her as a former actress who was no longer famous. "Looks like you're

"Thanks very much, Mr. Jonothan! I promise not to disappoint you!!" Sarah smiled widely. 'Oh, my God! I'm fortunate today! Steve must be happy to hear that!' Jonathan handed Sarah the contract. "Please, you sign this letter." "Okay." Sarah signed it immediately. "Tomorrow, you start work. Ester, the director of this movie, will guide you," explained Jonathan. "All right, Mr. Jonothan."

    "Don't listen to him, Ms. Renata. Alvarez is just bragging." Rocky warned the 35-year-old woman. Renata chuckled sarcastically. "I pity you, Mr. Alvarez. You're going crazy from all the stress since you declared bankruptcy." "I'm not crazy, Ms. Renata." Steve kept smiling despite his irritation. He couldn't yell or scold a woman. "I want to buy every car in this showroom," he added. "Stop bragging, Alvarez. There are 100 luxury cars, and one costs tens of billions. You can't possibly afford them." Renata folded her arms across her chest haughtily to intimidate Steve. She even stopped calling Steve Mr. Alvarez. "Hurry up and get out of here before I get security to kick you out." "Before I leave, let me prove my words, Ms. Renata. If I'm lying, I swear I'll be your helper forever, and you won't have to pay me." Steve didn't want to waste any time. Renata was silent for a moment, considering. She was very interested in the gamble. "But if I can prove it, you must become my serva

Simon immediately checked the notification on his cell phone. "Oh, shit!" He was wide-eyed when he got the proof of the $25,000,000 money transfer from Alvarez. "Do you believe me now?" Steve grinned smugly. He was satisfied to see the surprised expressions of the three parasites. "B-how did you get that much money, Mr. Alvarez?" Simon was shocked. "Aren't you broke?" Steve chuckled. "You're so stupid, Simon. Many businessmen and conglomerates deliberately hide their true identities. It's a natural thing." "Why do you do that?" "Because I like it when I see my detractors tremble with fear after I've proved my point," Steve quipped to the fat man. The man trembled at the thought of being fired. "M-I'm sorry, Mr. Alvarez. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings at all. I was just joking." The man chuckled clumsily. "Just kidding, you say?" St

I'll do it," Louis replied enthusiastically."I want you to call Cassandra and offer her your cooperation." "What's wrong with you, Mr. Alvarez? You sound very upset.""I can't tell you what's happening because I'm at Marco's house," Steve explained.

You're awake." "Why are you sleeping with me?!""You don't remember it?" Billie looked disappointed. The woman tried to cover her body with the blanket. "You forced me, Alvarez.""Forced you to do what?" Steve couldn't accept the harsh reality."You raped me."Steve gaped in disbelief, then shook his head. "That's impossible! I couldn't have defiled you! You're my friend!"Billie pointed out the bloodstains on the bed sheet. "Can't that bloodstain make you trust me?""Argh!" Steve immediately went to the bathroom and sat on the toilet.The man grabbed his hair vigorously in frustration... "What have you done, you idiot?!

    Steve closed the last of the 100 books after spending two hours in the library. He absorbed all the knowledge with the help of the system’s item, so he didn’t even need to read. After taking in all the material, Steve started writing a proposal to pour out his ideas. "I hope CEO Rodriguez likes my ideas." He headed to Rodriguez Corp and approached the receptionist. "Can I meet Mr. Rodriguez?" Steve asked politely. The woman glanced at his appearance from head to toe. “Do you have an appointment with him?” "No, I don’t." "Sorry, but you can't meet him." "Please, I have something important to discuss with him.""You should leave and fix your appearance first. You look like a homeless person." Steve was annoyed but didn’t want to argue. He didn’t have much time. "What's going on?"*Steve instinctively turned toward the voice. A man in his 30s was looking at him curiously. "This gentleman wants to meet Mr. Rodriguez."

    The next day, Steve sat in his office at Anderson Corp, staring blankly at the transparent screen in front of him. His thoughts were tangled, his mind unable to focus. "How am I supposed to do this?" he muttered. For twenty minutes, he had been frozen in his chair, completely clueless about his next move. [Main Quest: Save Anderson's Daughter][Time Limit: Unlimited][Reward: Mystery]"I don’t even know who Anderson’s daughter is," Steve mumbled under his breath, rubbing his temple. A soft knock on the door broke his concentration. A beautiful woman entered, carrying several large gift boxes in her arms. She smiled politely as she approached him. “Excuse me, sir. Someone sent these as a congratulatory gift for your first day,” she said, placing the boxes on his desk. Steve’s brows furrowed. “Who sent them?” “I’m not sure, sir. Even the delivery person didn’t know,” she replied. A strange feeling crawled up his spine. Something about this didn’t feel right. “Thank you.

'Carlson?'“Yes. I’ll transfer it tomorrow. For now, I can’t touch the funds because the boss’s assistant will be here today to review the restaurant’s income. I can’t manipulate the numbers right now.” “That’s disappointing.” Carlson suddenly stepped out, his face twisted in irritation. “What are you doing here?!” “I’m here to deliver coffee to Mr. Adam,” Steve answered politely. “What’s going on, Mr. Carlson?” Adam followed Carlson out. His sharp gaze landed on Steve. “Why are you standin

    Steve ignored his coworker’s earlier warning. “Probably just some workplace drama,” he muttered to himself. He didn’t have time for vague concerns. His focus was on completing his daily mission and earning enough System Coins to rebuild Alvarez Corp. It was 10 PM, and the restaurant was still buzzing with activity. Steve hustled between tables, delivering food and drinks to guests. Meanwhile, Adam watched him closely from his office monitor, a sly grin creeping across his face. “Step one is done,” Adam murmured, recalling his meticulously planned scheme. “Now, let’s see how far you can fall, Steve.” As he exited his office, a distinguished man entered the restaurant. The man, in his mid-50s, wore an expensive suit that exuded wealth and power. Adam immediately stepped forward to personally greet the guest and escorted him to the VIP area. “Steve!” Adam’s authoritative voice called out. “Yes, sir?” Steve quickly approached, balancing a tray in his hands. “This is Mr. Carl

    Steve held a small chip, no bigger than a memory card, in his hand. His face lit up with triumph as he reflected on everything he had endured to acquire it. It had been a month since that bloody incident that almost cost him his life. "With this, I don’t have to fear anyone anymore," he murmured, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. "Now I can focus on rebuilding Alvarez Corp from scratch." But his thoughts were restless. The journey was far from over. The world he lived in—a battlefield of competition and betrayal—wouldn’t let him climb back up so easily. "System, give me a mission to earn money. I need funds to restart my company." [Understood, Mr. Alvarez.] A transparent screen popped up before him, displaying a new mission.

    Stephen entered Alan’s underground base, flanked by ten highly trained bodyguards. Alan approached him just as Stephen stepped out of the elevator. “So, how did it go? Did you manage to extract the chip or system from his head?” “Yeah. Here it is.” Alan handed him a small box containing the chip. Stephen took it, opened it, and smirked with satisfaction. “Now, return my daughter,” Alan demanded firmly. “I’ll return her after I see Steve’s corpse,” Stephen replied coldly. “That wasn’t our deal!” Alan protested. “You seem nervous. Don’t tell me you’ve been colluding with Steve?” Stephen accused confidently. “If you want to see your daughter, just show me his dead body. That should be easy enough, shouldn’t it?” Alan clenched his fists in frustration. “You’re as much trouble as your father. Fine. Follow me.” Stephen trailed Alan into an operating room. Alan pulled back a sheet covering Steve’s lifeless body. His face was pale and still. Stephen reached out to check the

    Stephen sipped his coffee, his sharp eyes locked on the monitor in front of him. The screen displayed a chaotic shootout between Steve, Alan, and a group of armed men. A sly smirk curled on his lips. “I’m certain Alan will pull it off,” Stephen chuckled darkly. If Alan managed to seize Steve’s system, he would have no rivals left, and his father’s revenge would finally be complete. ‘With this, I’ll reclaim my title as the richest man in the world,’ he thought smugly. He then turned his attention to the woman tied up beside him. Her hands and feet were bound, and her mouth was sealed with duct tape. “What do you think? Will Steve win and save you, or will he die a miserable death at Alan’s hands?” Stephen sneered at Cassandra. Cassandra squirmed against her restraints, mumbling angrily through the tape. Her furious expression made Stephen laugh mockingly. “Speak up! I can’t hear you, idiot,” he taunted. ‘You bastard!’ Cassandra cursed silently. ‘I need to escape before Steve
