A week later, rumors about Maxco Corp's bankruptcy circulated on social media and television. It became trending news.

Steve enjoyed a cup of coffee while watching the news on television. Marco walked out of his office and was greeted with hundreds of questions from reporters.

"Is it true that Maxco Corp is going bankrupt, Mr. Marco?"

"Of course, not. All the news is untrue. I hope the public won't be easily deceived by irresponsible actors." Marco smiled politely as hundreds of reporters jostled nearby to get an interview with him.

However, Marco's bodyguards quickly protected the man like a fortress so that Marco would not be crushed and could get to his car unhindered.

"Is it true that Maxco Corp has experienced a decline in income since Jonah Corp was founded?"

"Was business competition a major factor in Maxco Corp going bankrupt?"

'I glad I could witness your downfall, Marco.' Steve smiled with satisfaction. Finally, his hard work had been worthwhile.

I'm going to force you to do it!'"I have an order for you," Steve whispered so others wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation."What is it, Mr. Alvarez? 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. "Just do as I say.""All right, Mr. Alvarez.""I'll send Cassandra's phone number via message, but you must not tell her that I told you to.""I will keep your identity as the new owner of Horizon Corp a secret, Mr Alvarez. You don't worry about it.""I trust you."***"WHAT?!" Cassandra cried out in shock when she received a call from Louis.'Am I dreaming?' Cassandra pinched her thigh, and it hurt.'I wasn't dreaming!

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, Cassandra and Louis were wide-eyed as someone barged in and pointed a gun at them. "Who are you?" Louis asked, frightened. "How did you get in here?!" Louis had never experienced such a stressful event in his life. The situation was confusing and surprising, as Louis had ordered many bodyguards to guard the restaurant closely. He even hired bodyguards, usually hired by famous USA artists and businessmen with extraordinary fighting skills. "Are you ...." Louis widened his eyes in shock as the man's clothes were covered in bloodstains. "killed all my bodyguards?!" "You're right, Mr. Louis." The masked man chuckled bitterly as if it was a joke.

Steve looked at the man coldly. He had to keep his cool so the villain wouldn't get excited. 'Is he Marco's man?' Steve wondered sil

    Louis was surprised when Jacob looked surprised. 'Is he just pretending?' "Are you sure you don't know that?" Louis looked at Jacob suspiciously. Of course, he wasn't easily fooled by the young man's acting. "Of course not, Mr. Louis," Jacob replied. "That's very strange." "Trust me. I made this appointment letter because I got an email from your company, Rorizon Corp. In that email, you told me to make a letter of agreement about our cooperation." Louis read the contract letter. The content of the letter was that he was willing to continue cooperating with Jatson Corp. If he canceled it, he would have to give up 20% of the company's shares. 'Tsk! Jacob is trying to blackmail Mr. Alvarez!' Louis muttered angrily. "I never told you to make this agreement." Jacob was shocked. "Are you serious, Mr. Louis?" "Yes. Therefore, I will cancel my plan to work with you. I suspect there has been a misunderstanding between us." Louis rose to his feet to leave the room. "Wait, Mr. Louis

    Marco hurriedly drove his car away from the Jatson Corp office with severe injuries and went to a secret house known only to him and his men. Marco entered the house while grimacing in pain. He couldn't buy protective items before attacking because he had no points left since he had exchanged all his points for money to use to help the nearly bankrupt Maxco Corp. He sat down on the sofa as he was already weak, then called his son, Stephen. "What's wrong, Dad?" Stephen asked gruffly. He was still upset that his father had failed to get the contract with Rorizon Corp, but Jacob managed to get it instead, even though it was only a small company. "Come here quickly," Marco stuttered. He was short of breath because the bullet was lodged in his lungs. According to the medics, he could only survive for an hour. "What happened to you, Dad? Why are you gasping for air?" "Come here quickly, you idiot, I don't have much time left!" Marco confirmed his call and then sent his location to Ste

    "No respect for the poor." Jacob arrived escorted by several bodyguards. "That's an appropriate saying for you, Mr. Alvarez." The reporters immediately swarmed around Jacob and asked him many questions. Even though Jatson Corp had only partnered with Rorizon Corp, it had become the 3rd largest company in the USA and 10th in the world. Because of this, many women admired Jacob, and many companies flocked to offer cooperation because Jatson Corp managed to become Horizon Corp's partner. "Move aside! Mr. Jacob is coming through!" One bodyguard called out sternly to the reporters who were jostling near Jacob. In a relaxed and dignified manner, Jacob approached Stephen and Moses. "My condolences on Mr. Marco's death." "Thanks." Stephen gave a fake smile. Jacob turned to the reporters who were focused on him. "As a former partner of Maxco Corp, Mr. Marco was a good and smart man. I learned a lot from him. I miss my teacher and coworker very much." Steve was squeezed by the crowd of

    The next day, Stephen met with Moses at the Kingsley Corp office. "I would like to submit the proposal you asked of me, Mr. Moses." Excitedly, Moses received the letter and read it. He marvelled at the ideas Stephen had poured into the writing. "You're very impressive, Mr. Stephen. I'm sure our partnership will be very profitable," Moses praised. "I'm so glad you like my idea, Mr. Moses. Does that mean you are willing to work with my father's company?" Stephen asked politely. "Of course." Moses quickly called his assistant, and she handed him a letter of agreement. "Please sign this letter to ratify our cooperation, Mr. Stephen." "All right." Stephen immediately signed the letter, then Moses. Moses smiled with satisfaction as he saw their hands written on the seal and shook Stephen's hand. "Maxco Corp is now officially a partnership of Kingsley Corp. Please work hard." "I promise I won't let you down, Mr. Moses." "I trust you very much." 'I never thought Cassandra's pr

    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.

[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."

    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
