Steve and Cassandra's activities stopped when someone knocked on Steve's bedroom door. He quickly got off her body, put his clothes back on, and opened the door. "Grandpa?" Steve was startled. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I'm looking for Cassandra. I can't find her in her room or study, and it's already dawn. She's not answering my calls either. I'm really worried about her." "She's fine." You don't worry." Steve was a little nervous when he stared Charles. He couldn't possibly say that Cassandra was in his room. "How do you know about that? Do you know where Cassandra is now?" Charles frowned in confusion. "Why are you sweating so much, and your clothes are wrinkled? Are you sick?" Lovingly, Charles checked Steve's heat on his forehead. "Oh my! You have a fever, Steve! Let's go to the hospital!" The older man immediately pulled his hand away. "I'm fine." Steve resisted gently, masking his tension. Though his body was hot, not from fever, it burned with desire. "You'll die if
"Steve, answer me. What happened? Who is your mean?" Cassandra was a little confused as Steve looked alarmed.Cassandra rolled her eyes lazily and left when Steve didn't answer. A middle-aged man passed by the woman while taking out a needle from his ring.Steve immediately approached the man and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, sir. Thank you for attending this event."The man winced in pain as Steve squeezed his hand so hard. Before Steve knew it, blood was flowing from his hand and dripping onto the floor."Oh my God! Blood!" The guests squealed in shock at the sight of so much blood on the floor.The man let go of his hand to escape, but Steve grabbed him by the arms and neck."I won't let you run away, damn it! How dare you want to hurt my big sister!""Let go of me!""Tell me, who told you to?!"The guests immediately stepped back and watched them from afar."Steve, let him go! Do you intend to kill him in front of the reporters? You'll defame the good name and prestige of Cha
"You can't fool me, damn it! You can't possibly do that because you only think of Jacob as a stranger!" "I already did, not that I 'will' do it. Don't you understand my vocabulary?" Charles chuckled."But Jacob never received any wealth from you!""I didn't say I gave it to Jacob.""So?""Have you forgotten you have two sons?""You don't know anything about me! I only have one daughter and a son!" There was disappointment in Edgar's eyes."Have you forgotten you have a son from another woman?"Edgar's face turned tense. He looked away, turning away from Charles' intimidating gaze.How could Charles still bring up his past again?"Stop talking about that child. He's dead.""He's not dead."Egdar spontaneously looked at Charles in shock. "He survived the accident.""How come?!""I knew it. You were the one who tampered with the brakes of my daughter-in-law's car so that she died in the accident while she was carrying your son. Were you not satisfied raping Clarita, your sister-in-law
Steve came back to the restaurant with a fierce face."Are you deaf?! How dare you come again!"Steve took off his mask, startling Egdar's aides. "Steve?""Get out of the way! I want to come in." The aides were slightly stunned at Steve's physical transformation. His muscles were bulging under his clothes. His gaze was piercing, as if he wanted to pounce on anyone who came near him. His aura looked terrifying, like a lion defending its territory."How dare you come here after you hurt Young Master Jacob!""He deserved it!""Bastard!" With all their courage, ten people rushed at Steve. Nimbly, Steve punched them two in the stomach in one go, making them groan in pain while lying on the ground.Hearing the groans, the rest of their comrades rushed over."Steve?!"Steve tore off his clothes in one pull and revealed his muscular body. He carried a rifle, which he had taken from his victim, in his shirt."Do you want to get hurt like them?" Steve's voice sounded flat, but it made them
"What is the God's Eyes item?"[That system is a step item that can only be obtained with a certain level of sincerity. You deserve it because you were willing to die to help others, Mr. Steve. I'm happy with your progress]"Then what does it do?"[You can see other people's status stats]Steve's eyes lit up slightly, and he became more interested in the unique item."How do I use it?"[You only need to look at someone you want to see their status, but-]"Who are you talking to, Boy?" Charles approached his grandson with a smile gracing his old face.Steve was surprised by Charles' arrival. "Grandpa? How's your health? Are you getting better?"Steve was confused as a statistics screen appeared above Charles' head, but only he could see it.[Name: Charles Immanuel][Proximity Level: 35%][Status: Unknown]'What is it?'Charles chuckled while sitting on the patient's waiting chair. "You don't need to worry about me. You should be more worried about your health after getting shot.""How
Arriving at the office, Steve walked into his room with a grim look. "What's wrong with you?" Cassandra sat on the guest sofa with her arms folded across her chest. "Why are you here? Go back to your room." Steve said sternly. "How dare you kick me out of my office! You need to wake up! If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be working in this office!" Cassandra protested, offended. Steve snorted softly, cursing his childish nature. He shouldn't take his frustrations out on others. "What's the need?" Steve's voice sounded soft. Cassandra was his sister after all, despite the difference in fathers. Unfortunately, Cassandra didn't know about it yet because Charles asked her to keep it a secret so she was still arbitrary to Steve. "I heard that the oil mine in New Mexico will be auctioned off. I want to buy it. The auction will be held tomorrow. If we can get it, then we will make a huge profit." "However, we need a lot of money to buy it because I'm sure other big companies will c
Cassandra quickly left feeling disappointed after learning that Steve seemed angry about wanting to save a woman who claimed to be his wi'Why does my chest hurt so much?' Cassandra hurriedly crossed the corridor."I never thought I'd have a special guest at my hotel today."Cassandra's steps were instantly halted as a man stood in front of her with his four bodyguards."You..." Cassandra spontaneously backed away in worry.'How could the man be so fit after being shot?'Edgar approached Cassandra and smiled slyly. "I was very lucky today. I wanted to destroy Christopher's family, but you gave yourself to me instead.""Move aside! I want to pass!" Cassandra exclaimed sternly.Edgar laughed wickedly. "Impossible I'm letting my prey go!""Don't be impudent with me!" Cassandra quickly took out a pistol from her bag. Since the incident at the restaurant, she has always carried a gun in anticipation."Go get her!""Yes, boss!"With ease, the four men seized the gun and grabbed Cassandra, t
The next day. Cigarette smoke filled the dimly lit room. Hundreds of cans and bottles of drinks littered the floor. The smell of alcohol and drugs was overpowering as Steve entered an abandoned warehouse, Jacob's designated location, at dawn. "I salute you for courageously coming to your enemy's stable." Jacob grinned mockingly. He and Edgar sat on the sofa, and his bodyguards loyally stood behind them. "Are you afraid of Cassandra and Charles seeing you battered and dead if you invite them to watch this match?" Edgar added. Steve didn't respond to their taunts at all. When considering Edgar and Jacob's crimes and their blood relationship, Steve's feelings are complicated. Feelings of hate, resentment, anger, and shock were all mixed. It was like a dream knowing Jacob and he were brothers from different mothers. In the center of the room, a boxing ring was set up. Steve climbed into the ring, put his bag in the corner, removed his white t-shirt, and put on his boxing gloves.
