Jacob froze as Stephen stared at him."What about you, loser?" Stephen sneered. "Do you want to fight me?"Jacob swallowed hard. He wasn't willing to die to help Steve and the strange woman."I have to go. I still have a lot of work to do at the office." Jacob ran away before Stephen could force him to."Tsk! You loser!"On the other side, Steve's water ran down the corners of his eyes. The woman didn't move at all. "B-billie..." "Please... wake up." Steve's voice sounded soft, full of regret.He couldn't bear to lose her because of his mistake.Steve reached out to grab Billie's hand, but Stephen kicked her body into the corner of the ring ropes so Steve couldn't touch her."Do you love this girl?" Stephen pulled Billie's hair until she was dangling. "Let her go!" Steve snapped. "You can't hurt her! You're dealing with me, not her!"Stephen chuckled wickedly. "A lion will never let go of the prey it has caught." He asked his men for a penknife and handed him a cutter.Steve looked
"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
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
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
"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
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
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 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
