"I still have a little money in my savings from working as an artist bodyguard. You can use the money to rent an apartment."

"But-"

"You can replace my money when you become successful again, Mr. Alvarez." Felix smiled sincerely as he handed his former boss his atm card.

Steve was touched. "Thank you very much. I promise to reimburse you."

"I'll wait for that day."

A few days later, Steve's life was no longer the same.

The man looked at his appearance in the mirror sadly. He wore a white shirt, red forehead, and long black pants. Today, he would find a job to provide for his family.

"You're so handsome today, darling."

Steve was surprised when Sarah suddenly hugged him from behind. Even though he was broke, he wasn't alone like he used to be.

"Thank you, darling."

"Are you going to go look for a job?"

Steve nodded, then turned to Sarah. "Wish me luck."

Sarah nodded encouragingly. "I'm always praying for you. I'll also look for a job to help you."

"No need! Work is a man's job!"

Steve included.A burly man opened the luxury car, and a man wearing a tuxedo emerged.Marco then entered the luxurious building with an arrogant and cold face. "Welcome, Mr. Marco!"The employees lined up neatly at the entrance while bowing respectfully to welcome their boss.Unfortunately, Marco was unaware that Steve was standing to greet him with the other employees.'Marco?! Is he the mysterious man?!'Steve gawked. 'Impossible!' Marco is the owner of Maxco Corp, a former partnership of Charles Corp.'Tsk! He's a traitor!' Steve swore."Have you prepared the meeting room as I ordered?" Marco asked Lucas."Of course, Mr. Marco." Lucas smiled politely.'Isn't that man Lucas?'Shortly after, a man exited his luxury car with a beautiful woman.'Jacob? Agatha? Why did they come here too?!'Several other business people came and entered the same room as Marco.'Looks like they're going to a me

    'How do I destroy Marco? I've completely lost my mind. It's so hard to beat him because I don't have a system anymore.' Steve walked across the sidewalk at night. He had just gotten home from work. "Thank you so much, darling. Today, you have spoiled me. You even bought me some fancy stuff." Steve's walk stopped when he accidentally saw a woman holding hands with a man. They had just come out of the hotel. "That asshole!" Steve rushed over to them and punched the man in the black tuxedo in the face. "How dare you touch my sister!" Steve shouted angrily. "You're dead, Kaparat!" He sat on the man's stomach without stopping punching him. "Steve! Stop it! You're not crazy! Don't hurt him!" Cassandra pushed Steve away from Stephen. For the first time, she saw Steve raging uncontrollably. Slap! Steve held his sore cheek, but his heart hurt much more. "How dare you slap me!" "You deserved that even more than a slap!" snapped Cassandra. "I was just trying to protect you from this

    There was only silence as Steve spoke the truth. Cassandra was stunned for a moment, then laughed mockingly. "Stop lying to me, Steve. I'm not a stupid woman. You must have deliberately used the traumatizing incident to scare me." "That won't work." Cassandra looked at herself in the mirror. "Now go away. I don't want to see you again until I'm officially Stephen's wife." "Why don't you trust me, Cassandra?" Steve looked disappointed. "Is it because you never thought of me as your brother? Is it because I'm the illegitimate son of your mother and uncle?" Cassandra glanced at Steve in the mirror. The man wearing a gray tuxedo looked sad and disappointed. His hands clenched tightly, and his eyes were misty. Despite that, Cassandra didn't say anything. She was at a loss to explain her current mood. "Alright, if that's what you want. I won't bother you or care about you anymore. From now on, pretend we never knew each other." Steve left feeling disappointed. Cassandra never appreci

    The next day. Steve brought in a tray with four warm milks, toast, and jam and served it in front of Cassandra and Stephen. "Alvarez?!" Brielle was wide-eyed. "What are you doing here?!" "He's now working as a maid in this house and my chauffeur, Brielle." Stephen gave Steve a dismissive look. "You're so pathetic, Alvarez. You're so rich. It's karma that you chose that bitch over me." Brielle chuckled mockingly. 'You have to be patient, Steve. "Stop that. You should be polite to your brother-in-law, Brielle." Marco warned while smiling at Steve. "Forgive my daughter, Alvarez. She's a little childish." "No problem." Steve smiled kindly. 'You are very good at acting like you don't recognize me. I won't be fooled by your fake demeanor, Marco. "Why are you defending her, Dad? When you hate him too... Ouch!" Brielle winced in pain as Charles stepped on her foot under the table. After finishing breakfast, Cassandra found Steve in the kitchen. Her younger brother was busy washing

    "What did you call me for, Mr. Alvarez?" Felix visited Steve's house as soon as he called. "I heard you had an accident." "It's true, but I'm fine." Felix and Steve sat across from each other in the living room of his apartment. "What's going on, Mr. Alvarez?" Felix was surprised when his boss looked joyful. "I have some good news for us, Felix." "What is it?" "I'm going to rebuild my company, Alvarez Corp." "Really?" Felix frowned in surprise. "Where did you get the money, boss? You didn't steal, did you?" "Of course not." Steve was exasperated. "I got my system back." "Really?" Felix was pleased. "But is there no risk when the system returns to you?" he asked anxiously. "No." Steve shook his head, then clenched his fists. "I have to destroy Marco. He was the one who sent the virus that blocked my system and prevented me from accessing my consciousness." "Marco? Do you mean Ms. Cassandra's father-in-law?" Felix guessed. Steve nodded. Felix was shocked. "Does he have a sy

    "Why are you to meet me, brother?" Marco stared flatly at an old man walking towards him. "I wanted to talk to you." Ramos sat down in front of Marco. "About what?" Marco took a drag on his cigarette, then blew the smoke from his mouth into the air. "It's about Audrey, my daughter." "What happened to the woman? Is she up to no good again?" "My daughter ran away." Marco was neither surprised nor angry to hear that. "Didn't I tell you to lock her up until I finished destroying Alvarez?" "But Alvarez and Charles are already bankrupt. I think it's fine to let her go." Ramos reasoned. Marco chuckled wickedly. "You're right, but I want you to keep an eye on her." "Why?" "I'm still upset with Audrey. She's very unstable. Sometimes she wants revenge on Alvarez, but then she wants to marry the enemy," Marco explained. "Even if my plan works, I don't want Audrey to marry Alvarez. There's a possibility that she might expose my identity and report me to the police. The image I've bui

    The old man smiled kindly at Steve. "You seem to be thinking about something complicated. What is it?"Steve was speechless. His body stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat. His heart was pounding unsteadily.'What is this asshole doing here?' He cursed to himself.Marco sat beside Steve while patting Steve's shoulder familiarly."You are Charles's grandson, right?"Steve nodded. "Yes."Marco chuckled. "I didn't expect Mr. Charles to have a great-grandson like you, Alvarez. Surprisingly, he never told me about it, even though we've been partners for decades.""But I also didn't expect you to suddenly go bankrupt like that." Marco wore a concerned expression. "I should have helped you."Steve smiled, trying to be calm. "I don't need anything. Thank you for your offer.""Then why are you here? You know discos are where people vent their frustration, disappointment, and anger.""I'm just tired from working all day, so I decided to rest here for a while." Steve denied it.Marco laugh

    "Where are you going, Sarah?" Charles asked as his daughter-in-law looked neat and pretty. "I want to apply for a job," Sarah replied with a smile. "I've cooked some food for you. If you're hungry, the food is ready." "Thank you very much, Sarah. Take care on the road. I hope you get the job you deserve." Sarah nodded and left the apartment. She walked the entire length of the sidewalk while entering one shop after another in search of work. "Sorry, Miss. We don't need any new employees." Despite her disappointment, Sarah smiled at the pastry shop manager. "Thank you very much for your time, Mister." As Sarah turned towards the exit, she overheard the conversation of the employees at the bakery. "Isn't that Sarah, the famous actress?" "Yes. I didn't expect her to be so poor now that she's begging for a job." Sarah rushed out of the shop before her tears could flow. She was saddened when everyone sneered at her as a former actress who was no longer famous. "Looks like you're

    Chapter 157 - Public Humiliation

    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

    Chapter 156 - A Troublesome Mission

    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." [Understood, Mr. Alvarez.] A transparent screen popped up before him, displaying a new mission. [Daily Mission: Work as a waiter at Greyson Corp’s luxury restaurant.] Steve’s brow furrowed as he read the task. “What? A waiter? In a restaurant? That’s humiliating.” [Starting from the bottom is essential for you to gain System Coins and re

    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

Steve was annoyed that the man was delaying answering, even though he was very curious.Once at the bottom, the elevator opened, revealing a wealth of advanced technology as far as the eye could see.Steve was wide-eyed with shock. 'What is this place?' He glanced suspiciously at the man standing next to him, accusing him of dangerous experiments.However, Steve chose to remain silent. He didn't want to misspeak and put Cassandra in danger.The man guided Steve to all the mysterious rooms."Dad, I've brought it."The old man who was in a laboratory turned to his son. He smiled broadly when he saw Steve."Finally, I met you, son.""Who are you?""I'm Professor Alan."Steve didn't recognize the old man at all, but Alan seemed to."Have we ever known each other?""You may not know me, but I met you and made you the successful young man you are today."'What does he mean?"

Steve's hunch grew stronger as the location could not be detected by the police or the common people.'I'll save you, Cassandra. Wait for me!' Steve muttered.After much effort, the car finally arrived at an old tree.Steve frowned in surprise when there were no buildings or houses in that place."Put them down!""Yes, boss!"Four men herded Steve and Margaretha out of the car and into the giant, monstrous-looking old tree.The sounds of crickets and forest animals rang out loudly, inviting horror.Steve hesitated and trembled with f

    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.

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.

    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
