"Tsk! I guessed the ashole man was you, you bastard!" Steve swore when met thr familiar man.

"Shut up. I don't have business with you." Jacob looked at Mary sarcastically.

The girl immediately lowered as the man looked at her sharply. "Can you give me some time to return your money, Mister? Because I gave the money to the doctor for my brother's surgery."

"I don't care about that. You must back my money now," said Jacob firmly.

"I'll give it back!" Steve interrupted in annoying.

"You're disgusting, you idiot." Jacob cursed coldly. "How many women will you give fake love to until you're satisfied?"

"What do you mean?! You don't slander me! I've never given many women fake love!"

"You've disappointed my little sister, and now you want to disappoint this woman again?" Jacob turned his head at Mary.

    “But you can’t fool me, Mr. Alvarez. I know you’re very panicked and anxious. It’s painted all over your handsome face.” ‘My face?!’ Steve muttered. ‘He must be watching me. Is it possible that he is disguised as one of the staff?' Steve watched the staff, but they were focused on their computers, and no one was secretly watching him. Steve’s heart raced as his alertness increased dramatically. Being targeted by the enemy was something that terrified everyone. Sarah’s guess was correct. The mysterious man was watching him. Steve caught his breath. ‘Calm down, Steve. That asshole’s threats can’t fool you.’ “You seem surprised to hear that, Mr. Alvarez.” The mysterious man raised his voice again. “You look scared now. Your expression gives me great satisfaction.” Steve kept a straight face so the mystery man couldn’t read his mood. “How about we add some suspense to our game, Mr. Alvarez? I think that would be very exciting.” The mystery man chuckled. “What do you mean?” Steve

'This is my chance to upgrade my God Eyes Item while waiting for a new mission to come up.' "Are you hungry? I want to take you out to eat at one of those fancy restaurants." Brielle nodded quickly. "I want to!" Steve was a little surprised that Brielle was so enthusiastic, even though they only knew each other. Was it the influence of his handsome and wealth? "But..."

    "So, you knew about the use of the Evil System?" Steve pointed out. [You're right, Mr. Steve] "Why didn't you tell me from the start?!" Steve shouted angrily while crossing the deserted corridor after paying for the apartment. [I'm sorry, Mr. Steve. I had to do it not to violate the system's program. Thus, I gave you a mission to lead against that Evil System user. Victory depends on your perseverance and intelligence. I'm just a system to help you] 'Shit!'

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.

    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
