Not long after Steve left, Wendy quickly cracked the encrypted information on the smart bracelet with the help of the computing power of the Original Gravity Tower's main system. After retrieving the military information that was inside of it, Wendy looked grave, as many thoughts were swirling in her head...

The demons actually found so many paths leading to Stanlos Base Camp. If a war arises, they could use these paths to attack us!

Moreover, who on earth is the mysterious powerful being, who can mobilize the whole Harbolo Base Camp? Angelique, the guardian of Harbolo Base Camp, is a level-three Mutated Demon. This means that this mysterious powerful being is likely to have reached level-five Evolved Being!

The more Wendy analyzed the situation, the more grave she looked. They had been totally oblivious and unaware of such important information before this moment.

Wendy immediately summoned all of the top management, including those from the other two major military base camps, in order to hold an emergency meeting. She was determined to discuss how to deal with this matter!

Steve returned to his residence after leaving Chief Instructor Wendy's office. After all, he had not seen his three women for more than ten days, and he missed them very much. However, as soon as he got out of the Original Gravity Tower, he was attracted by what happened in the piazza...

Bang!

Bang!

Not far from the piazza, a group of people were fighting. More than a dozen of people were being beaten by four others.

"Stop!" Lucy could be seen standing in front of the men who were being beaten. She looked angrily at the four veterans who were in front of her.

"You've already taken our contribution points! Why are you still doing this?" Lucy was clearly furious.

"Haha, this group of recruits bumped into us without apologizing. As we are veterans, we figured that we should teach them a lesson!" Alex gave a big laugh.

"You've gone too far! Besides, it's clear that you were the ones who bumped into us!"

"Exactly! Haven't you had enough of bullying us all this time?"

The recruits who were beaten were equally furious. However, after just one stare from Alex, they became fearful and bowed their heads.

When Lucy saw this, she became even angrier and asked, "Alex, aren't you afraid that Steve will come back and get even with you? According to your contract, you are not allowed to fight the recruits. But, these days, you have been forcing the recruits to accept your challenges so that you can take away their contribution points maliciously."

She then added, "When Steve comes back, I'm sure he won't let you guys off!"

Lucy's words, as well as the thought of Steve's return, gave the bullied recruits a surge of confidence, so they started to shout at Alex...

"Don't go overboard, as Steve will surely revenge us!"

"Yes! Steve's going to defeat you!"

Hearing the frenzied words of the recruits, Alex and several members of the Death Combat Unit could not help but laugh.

"Hahaha! So what if he comes back? Do you think he can defeat me?" Alex laughed sarcastically.

"You're just a bunch of silly recruits! You still can't see the strength gap between us?"

"Haha! Even if he comes back, he will only lose miserably!"

The Death Combat Unit was so arrogant, they did not even take Steve seriously. During this period, they had been provoking the recruits, challenging them and taking away a lot of their contribution points.

Although this batch of recruits was indeed much stronger than those of the previous batches, there was still a huge gap between them and the veterans. As such, even the best of the recruits were defeated by them.

As for Steve, although he was rumored to be very strong and had even defeated Lawrence, whose basic cell value was 380 points, the Death Combat Unit was not a regular first line combat unit.

As such, Lawrence was only a member of the second team, which was the reserve team. Therefore, there was a huge gap between the regular combat unit and the reserve team.

Even the most average member of the Death Combat Unit had a basic cell value of more than 400 points. Although their number was small, in terms of strength, one person was enough to sweep away Lawrence's entire reserve team!

"Who said that I would lose?" Steve's calm voice suddenly sounded from behind them all.

Alex was shocked to find Steve standing behind them. The others were also shocked by Steve's sudden appearance.

"Steve, when did you get back?" Alex asked in surprise.

"Honey, you're back at last!" When Lucy saw Steve, she flew over to him and threw herself into his arms.

Steve kissed Lucy on the forehead and asked, "What happened during my absence? What's the matter with them?"

"It's them!" Saint Zachary pointed to a group of people, including Alex, and said angrily, "They don't keep their promises, and they force us to fight with them to steal our contribution points!"

Steve recognized Saint Zachary, whose strength was very impressive, among the recruits.

"Also, Sofia was badly injured by them yesterday! She is still recuperating," Lucy was clearly aggrieved.

Steve looked at Alex angrily and asked, "Death Combat Team, what do you mean by doing all of these things? The contract between us clearly stated that you cannot fight the recruits, yet you still violated those rules!"

Steve did not expect that they would go so far as to even injure Sofia in addition to bullying the recruits!

"Oh, I did sign a contract with you, stating that I would not fight them. So, I didn't fight them at all!" Alex sneered at Steve. "But, I don't have the right to control the rest of the Death Combat Unit.."

"Young lad, are you Steve?" Marshall looked at Steve with a sneer. "Are you going to seek justice for them?"

Steve's eyes were burning with anger.

"Honey, don't be impulsive. My sister was besieged by several of them before she was injured." Lucy quickly reached out to stop Steve.

"Sofia is a very calm person. How could she be seriously injured?" Steve asked.

"They found out about Vivien's mission and used Vivien's safety as a threat. My sister was worried about Vivien's safety, so she went to look for Vivien and was ambushed by them. Finally, after they were given all of the contribution points, they released Sofia." Lucy looked angry as she told Steve what had happened during his absence.

"Is Vivien back yet?" Steve suddenly realized that he had not seen Vivien for days.

Lucy shook her head and said, "Logically, Vivien's mission should already have been completed. She should have come back by now, but we haven't seen her yet. Perhaps the disappearance of Vivien is related to them?"

This was just Lucy's guess. However, Steve looked even angrier as he said, "You guys dared to break the contract and hurt Sofia and Vivien! You must pay a heavy price!"
