After the meeting, Steve returned to the apartment to hand over the food to Charles.

"Grandpa, let's eat." Steve placed the paper bag containing the sandwiches on the dining table.

"Wait a minute. I'm fixing the toilet. The toilet is broken!" Charles exclaimed from inside the toilet.

Steve was sad to hear that. He felt selfish for letting his grandfather live in such a dirty, shabby apartment to hide his wealth.

The dirty environment made Charles cough and runny nose frequently.

'I have to buy a luxury apartment for Grandpa.'

Not long after, Charles came out smiling.

"I'm glad you're home. I was so lonely here."

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I'm rarely home because I'm busy at work."

"If Cassandra was here, I wouldn't be lonely. I find it hard to part from her because I was the one who took care of her when she was little."

Steve felt even more guilty. He realized Cassandra's words were true and that he was the main cause of the destruction of Grandpa's life.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. I've made yo

"Okay, boss."The two security guards immediately grabbed Steve and held him in both hands."What the hell?! Let me go!" Steve struggled, then glared at Mitha. "What are you doing?!""I won't let you steal anything from this place!""Steal?!" Steve didn't expect the woman to accuse him of being a criminal. "I'm not stealing! I'm going to buy this apartment!""Stop talking nonsense! Get him out of here!""All right, Miss!"When the two men dragged Steve outside, Steve fought back. He stomped on the feet of the two security guards with such force that they groaned in pain. When they were caught off guard, Steve im

    "Who called you, Boy?" Charles was curious because Steve looked surprised."My friend." Steve lied. "Wait a minute. I have to pick up the phone for a minute." "Okay." The young man went outside and then answered his phone."Why are you calling me?" Steve was too lazy to make small talk."Where are you now? I wanted to see you.""Don't I want to see my face again?" Steve mocked."I'm too lazy to fight with you. Meet me now.""I can't because I have to look after Grandpa." Steve lied.

    "Why do you want to attend the wedding, Mr. Alvarez? Do you have plans?" Steve shook his head. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. 'Billie? Why is she calling me? Did something happen to the orphanage kids?' Steve answered the phone immediately. "What are you calling me about?" "Yesterday, you said you'd take me. Are you serious?" 'Oh, shit! I forgot about it,' Steve cursed to himself. "I'll pick you up." "Where are you taking me?" "Just do as I say." "Tsk! All right." "Who called you, Mr. Alvarez?" Louis asked politely. "Billie, my friend." Steve put his cell phone in his pants pocket. "Are you going out with that woman?" Louis teased. "Of course not! I don't like tomboys like her!" Steve was disgusted at the thought of him dating Billie. She was just like a man in nature. Louis chuckled. "I wanted to attend your wedding too, Mr. Alvarez." "That's not happening." "Why?" "I will never get married." Louis was shocked to hear that. "Why?" "That woman is so annoying." "Yo

    Arriving at the apartment, Steve invited Billie into his apartment so that there were two of them. "Explain it to me now, Alvarez." Billie urged, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "I feel so hot. Let me take a quick shower. Okay?" "Tsk!" Billie felt Steve was toying with her. "Whatever you!" "Thanks." Steve took off his shirt, revealing his muscular, athletic body. Billie's heart raced at being shirtless. "It's rude to undress in front of a woman." Billie quipped. "I never thought of you as a woman." Steve laughed softly. Billie pouted. "Wait a minute. I'll be back." Steve went to the bathroom, leaving Billie alone. Bored, she wandered around Steve's room to see the displayed photos. The apartment was studio-type and only had a bed, a television, and an office desk. Charles lived next door to Steve's room. He didn't want to live with his grandfather because he would be on the phone with Jonah and Louis to keep his secret as Mr. AL. Shortly afterward, Steve

    "Stop insulting Alvarez!" Billie looked at Sarah, and the man was furious. Sarah frowned in surprise. "Who are you?" she was surprised that someone was defending Steve. If that woman was in that famous salon, she was a high-class woman. ''Sarah doesn't recognize Billie?" Steve was shocked. Even though Billie's hair was fixed and her face was masked, he still recognized her voice. "I..." Billie was nervous. "She's my girlfriend." Steve hugged Billie's waist proudly. Sarah was wide-eyed. "Girlfriend?" "Yes. We're getting married soon." Steve lied. He wanted revenge on Sarah. The handsome man smiled at Billie. "You should think twice about marrying a poor, stupid man like Alvarez, Miss. I'm afraid you'll regret marrying him." "I will not regret it," Billie said firmly. "Because he's a good and sincere man. He would do anything to show his love for me. To me, love is more precious than gold and silver." Billie looked at Sarah. "I wouldn't trade Alvarez for riches or anything else

    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." "Why are you looking for him?" the man asked. "I’m

[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.

    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
