In his spacious and elegant office, yet still characterized by the refreshing aroma of coffee, Edward sat in his chair with his gaze focused on his laptop screen.

His hands move nimbly over the keyboard, composing slide after slide in perfect detail. He was preparing his short speech for the World Economic Forum. Nothing could go wrong.

Moreover, He was going to be the host of Steel, who had been known as a mysterious figure.

"I think the words of this speech are good enough. I'll only be on stage for five minutes anyway," muttered Edward.

A knock sounded on the door of his room. After Edward gave permission, the door opened slowly, the creaking sound barely audible.

From behind the door came Emily Algren who entered with sure steps after closing the door again, carrying a presentation file in her hand.

"Chairman, these are the materials for Diana Blunt's presentation at the World Economic Forum," Emily said in a calm voice, handing the file to Edward's desk.

Edward nodded and accep

    Roselyn was surprised by Edward's response which she thought was excessive. "Hey, honey. Why are you so surprised like this? It's as if Jason Falcon is your enemy and Diana is the one spying for that man."Roselyn seemed to shake her head while chuckling.Edward cleared his throat softly, then tried to calm himself down from the facts he had just discovered about his concerns regarding Diana Blunt working at Marcosta's company.Edward said to himself, 'You're right, darling. The Falcon family is indeed a mortal enemy to the Marcos family because there is a grudge from the past related to my mom and Jason Falcon,'Edward chuckled, trying to match Roselyn's chuckle. "You're right. I took it too far when it had nothing to do with me.""You just don't make sense sometimes," Roselyn said."When did you hear Diana talking to Jason Falcon?" asked Edward with a calm face.Roselyn's eyes looked at her husband seriously. "I was looking for Diana who said she was going to the washroom in Dexter'

    In the room of one of her bodyguards, Emily Algren stood behind several of her men who were sitting in front of the large screen that was her IT team.One of the IT team reported, "The call signal has been disconnected, Ms. Algren."Emily nodded firmly. "Good. Make sure there is no traceable signal from here. We can't take any chances."Emily pondered for a moment, thinking about her next move. "We can't let the enemy find our trail through the phone signal. Mr. Steel needs to stay safe, and so do the people behind him."Meanwhile, Edward was still trying to contact Roselyn again to no avail. He sighed heavily, feeling frustrated that there was no notification at all initially.His cell phone rang and Miss Algren's name appeared on his screen. He wondered why Miss Algren could contact him."Yes, Ms. Algren," said Edward who received a call from his confidant."Chairman, I apologize for restricting your phone access especially to the town of Riverside," Emily said which made Edward now

    Back at the forum event, the host took the stage.After Diana Blunt finished her mesmerizing presentation, applause again filled the hotel's tightly secured ballroom.The host was all smiles, holding the microphone with confidence."Thank you very much, Ms. Blunt, representative of the Marcosta company, a giant company that is expanding its business, for your wonderful presentation. The global expansion plan you laid out truly illustrates Marcosta's vision and commitment to a brighter future," said the host as he nodded towards Diana, who returned the gesture with a graceful smile before leaving the stage.The host then turned his gaze to the audience, his eyes flashing with anticipation. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to the highlight of the program that we have all been waiting for. Allow me to introduce the man behind this grand strategy and vision. Without further ado, let us welcome with a standing ovation, Mr. Steel!"The sound of applause boomed throughout the room, cr

    Alfred released Darren and said calmly, "I am the head of Mr. Steel's security team. And now, I must leave to ensure Mr. Steel remains safe."Darren lay on the floor, watching with hateful eyes as Alfred walked out of the room at a brisk pace. He knew that his job wasn't done yet.With his martial arts skills and intelligence, Alfred had to get back to the hotel ballroom to ensure Mr. Steel remained safe from the threat of Jason Falcon and his men.Meanwhile, Edward was still presenting the Marcosta company's vision and mission for the future.

    Jason Falcon was instantly knocked unconscious when a punch slammed into his jaw. His eyesight spun around followed by darkness.The blow came from the hand of Edward who had previously covered his face with a mask again. Edward cast his gaze around the place and saw that Jason Falcon's bodyguards were already unconscious as well, having fought against Alfred and his chosen bodyguards.Diana, who was still on the ground, slowly stood up. She took a step towards Edward, but Edward asked her to stop.“Edward, so you-”“What am I, Diana?” asked Edward, cutting Diana off.“You're confusing me, Ed. A while ago you said that you were Mr. Steel.” Diana's face instantly became more confused.“Are you okay, Ed?” asked Alfred, who approached Edward.Diana was even more confused by the situation. Alfred seemed to be wearing a bodyguard's suit with the Marcos family logo, and Edward was wearing a bodyguard's suit.If Edward really was Mr. Steel, there was no way this man named Alfred would behave

    “What do you mean you're smiling like that, Rubbish?” asked Derek, who didn't like seeing the thin, mysterious smile that hung on Edward's lips. "Listen to me, you can win races with me and embarrass me at Dexter's restaurant, but not in this company! I've got my dad kicking you out of here!"Edward seemed to glance at Derek. "Really? I'm just curious to see how your dad kicks me out of here?"Derek looked like he was going to vomit blood at Edward's arrogance. He looked at the suit Edward was wearing, similar to the suits of the bodyguards of the Marcos family. “I assure you that your fate will be ruined and no other company will hire you as a bodyguard!”The elevator doors opened, and Edward stepped inside, ignoring Derek who stood and briefly blocked his way. Derek, with a face full of anger and contempt, followed Edward into the elevator.Slowly the elevator began to move upwards. Derek repeatedly sneered at Edward, while Edward still looked calm.He then said again, “Don't think

    Hugo's question was cut off as Robert instantly nodded with conviction.His face instantly turned pale and cracked. He didn't want his life history to end in this way.He leaned a little closer to Edward and hurriedly said, “Mr. Steel, I'm damned, I'm damned! I promise I will solve this problem."A Robert who is a confidant of the Marcos family, it is enough for him to kneel down and curry favor, and the Marcos family in Mr. Steel's power is a supreme existence that makes him invisible, and he has to look up all his life. But now, he didn't know if he could still live, and his son had directly offended the young master of the Marcos family. Thinking of this, Hugo Vesper fixed his eyes on Edward, his legs softened involuntarily, and he knelt in front of Edward, and said with trepidation, “Young master, I'm sorry, I didn't know that my son had offended you, I was really at a loss, I apologize to you! Please forgive me!"Derek was stunned at his father's explanation. His eyes rounded a

    Derek could only nod slowly, fear enveloping his entire body. Edward stood back up and signaled Emily Algren's bodyguards.“Drag him away from here,” Edward ordered firmly.Emily's bodyguards quickly approached Derek, pulling him roughly off the floor. Derek's limp and helpless body was dragged out of the room, like a street dog. Each tug made Derek feel more and more like his bones were falling out of his joints.Now Edward turned to Hugo who was still frozen after seeing his son being dragged like a street dog.Edward looked at Hugo sharply, as if penetrating the lies he might be hiding. He stepped closer, the sound of his shoes echoing in the suddenly quiet room after Derek was dragged out. Emily Algren stood beside him, her face implying the same tension.“Mr. Vesper,” Edward began in a low but threatening voice. Hugo's body trembled again. He looked down in fear at Edward's frightening voice. “I-yes, sir.”“Do you know the consequences if you play around with us?” asked Edward

    A maid was seen walking towards the indoor swimming pool inside the Marcos mansion.“Young lady, here are your bathrobes,” said the maid.“Thank you,” Maria said, and exited the indoor pool.She dried her body, then exited the indoor pool area on the first floor. While walking in the corridor while playing with her cell phone, she accidentally collided with a maid until the maid fell down.“Oh, sorry,” she squealed. But suddenly she was surprised because the maid was crying. “What's wrong with you? Did something happen?”The maid just shook her head while occasionally looking at Maria. But soon she fainted.“Oh my God! Why did you faint?” squealed Maria. As her hand pulled off the mask covering the maid's face, she was instantly startled. “Roselyn?”She immediately called for a bodyguard to take Roselyn to the guest room on the first floor. He quickly carried Roselyn to the guest room, while Maria followed with a worried look on her face.After 15 minutes, a doctor arrived and immedia

    Jason pulled the trigger in desperation, hoping the bullet would penetrate Edward's defenses.Edward closed his eyes as the bullet struck his body. Surprisingly, the bullet only pierced through thin air and staggered his body without any significant effect.Edward, still standing tall. Ivanov, who was about to push Edward, was now frozen in place.Edward himself was astonished that the bullet could not penetrate his body, like shooting a rock.Edward said to himself, 'This must be the power of The Arcane Codex of the Seven Heavens. Really great,'Jason was shocked and further cornered. Cold sweat ran down his forehead as he saw Edward's unwavering expression of confidence.Edward approached with calm steps, and as Jason tried to move back, Edward paralyzed him with one swift movement.“This is for my brother who you killed,” Edward said angrily. He pinned Jason against the wall and pressed him down with impressive force.“And this is for my mom's tears, and for Maria, my sister, who a

    Edward, and everyone present turned their heads towards the person standing. She was Roselyn Johnson, the representative of Tarwar Construction Company.Edward's body trembled as he saw the woman he was still married to standing and staring at him. What surprised Edward was her pale face.Slowly but surely, the people present began to stand up, even until all 40 company representatives stood up.The sound of applause slowly began to be heard as the representatives sat down again. Amidst the anxiety and worry, they had high hopes for Edward.“I thank you for your trust. I will make sure that you will never regret the decision you all made,” Edward said.

    Tension was in the air. On a stage, there was a long table with five chairs. Edward sat in the center. This time there were no sunglasses, masks or dim lighting.Edward stood proud and dignified as Mr. Steel. He wore a black suit that exuded firmness and power.In front of him, Marcosta's top brass, business associates, and media awaited with anticipation. This was the moment where he, as Mr. Steel, would show the world who he was and how he would lead the company that his grandpa had inherited, well.With a deep breath and a keen eye, Edward began his remarks. His voice was firm and full of conviction, every word he spoke containing a power that could not be ignored.“Today, I, whom you know as Mr. Steel, stand here not only as the principal heir to the Marcos family, but as a leader determined to maintain the honor of the family and this company. The Marcosta Company has been a symbol of excellence and integrity for decades, and I will ensure that it remains where it belongs.”Cheer

    The next morning, a slow drizzle of rain fell, soaking the ground that had been prepared for Salvour Marcos' final resting place. The overcast sky seemed to mourn him, adding to the somber atmosphere that surrounded the morning. A deep sense of loss emanated from every drop of rain, as if nature also felt the departure of such a precious figure. In the midst of this sorrowful atmosphere, Salvour Marcos' body would soon be buried, leaving unforgettable memories for those left behind.Edward was still standing on the balcony of his room when Maria entered. Maria took her brother's hand and rested her head on Edward's shoulder.“Grandpa doesn't need your regrets,” Maria said, trying to revive her brother. “He needs you to stand up and show your strength. The company is in crisis and needs you to take action, Ed. And one more thing, don't keep blaming yourself.”“I know.”Robert entered after he knocked on the door first. Everyone was dressed in black this time.“We leave now for the cem

    A black sedan darted quickly through the deserted streets of the Town of Riverside. The rain was falling gently, like a whisper of sorrow that enveloped the night. The drops that fell from the sky brought a sense of sadness, as if nature was mourning the passing of Salvour Marcos, the revered patriarch of the Marcos family. Every drizzle that touched the ground was as if it were the sky's tears crying for the departed figure, making the dark night even more somber and silent.Inside the car, there were three women lost in their own thoughts. Lily, who was behind the wheel, tried to remain calm, even though her heart was raging. All she had in mind was a way to reconcile Roselyn and Edward. They must not get divorced.In the slow-moving car, Roselyn sat silently with a blank look, occasionally wiping her face with a tissue, wiping away the tears that continued to flow despite her best efforts to hold them back. Her face looked pale, and inside her, there was an inner battle that nev

    Edward looked in the direction of the voice. It was Maria.“I called you many times, but the operator always answered,” Maria squealed. “I remembered that you were going to see your wife, so I followed you here.”“But she didn't believe me, Maria.” Edward looked still depressed. “I had to go after her.”“No, Ed! Listen to me!”“No! I must go after Roselyn. She must see this evidence.” Edward's face was red with the pressure-filled frustration of his problems with Roselyn going crazy.“Stop dwelling on your personal problems, Ed!” Maria yelled at the top of her lungs and began to get carried away. “Snap out of it! Don't keep drowning in your own personal problems and ignore what's far more important.”Edward was in a daze. But my wife-”Soon a loud slapping sound was heard, followed by Edward's body being slammed to the floor with a bang as well.So annoyed with her brother's sudden stupid and annoying behavior, Maria slapped him hard.Edward was silent for a moment.

    “Turn around! Get to Marcosta's company right now!” Robert ordered the driver sternly.“What's wrong, Robert?” asked a surprised Maria.Robert told her the news he had received from Emily Algren's men. The woman had even been admitted to the ICU of Elite Serenity Hospital, which was located not far from Marcosta's company building.By now, the car Robert and Maria were traveling in had arrived at Marcosta's company.“What happened? Why isn't there an escort for Miss Algren?” Robert asked in a high tone of voice due to emotion.All the security team as well as Miss Algren's bodyguards could only look down because they felt they had failed. Only one of them dared to speak because he was the one who found her lying on the floor of his office covered in blood.“So Alexander did it?” asked Robert.“Yes, sir.” The bodyguard nodded with certainty. “He was seen walking fast and did come out of the emergency exit. He said he was in a hurry and we believed him. We thought there was an intruder.

    Currently at the Marcosta company, the clock was only 11pm.A black Porsche Panamera, which all employees knew belonged to Alexander Marcos, was seen entering the company yard and stopped in front of the company lobby.“Good afternoon, Mr. Alex,” greeted the security guard at the lobby.“Good afternoon,” Alex replied in a friendly manner. It was uncharacteristic.The security guard was surprised, but ignored him.Alex continued to walk into the Marcosta company building with seemingly calm steps, even though the trembling inside him continued to haunt him.He still remembered Jason Falcon's threat that was still ringing clearly in his mind, making his every step heavy.Alex walked with his heart saying, 'I have to finish this right now,'Alex kept convincing himself that what he was about to do was right. The safety of his wife and children was his top priority.'I can't imagine what Jason would do to me and my family. Ah, damn it! Why didn't I think about the consequences of joining
