Dominating Evolution Of The Cosmos 202 A Young Girl Was Moved

According to the procedure, the prepared report should be submitted first. After reviewing that, the parties involved would be summoned, then the trial would commence.
At least two days would be needed for all of the procedures to be completed. Within these two days, Michael and Jim could escape prison only if Vivien's lawsuit was dropped. Otherwise, both of them would be punished to the furthest extent of the law.
"Remind the Black Tiger Combat Unit how much they have benefited from us over the years, then tell them that it's time for them to do something for us!" Michael said.
As the manager of the Black Tiger Store, he had been pocketing huge profits secretly for his personal gain. But, of course, it was impossible for him to pocket all of the profits alone. Jim, who had sold the serums, as well as two other people, including a senior pharmacist and his apprentice, had also shared in the profits.
The Black Tiger Combat Unit was also one of the parties who had greatly benefited from the profits that Michael and the others had pocketed, as he was one of their financial sponsors and backers. With the vast amount of money that Michael and the store pocketed, the Black Tiger Combat Unit was secretly protecting their interests by keeping the Black Tiger Stores safe and in operation.
By furthering this lawsuit, not only had Steve cut off the source of Michael's fortune, but he had also, in essence, bankrupted the supply of the Black Tiger Combat Unit's fortune! In light of this affront, the Black Tiger Combat Unit would surely not let Steve off easily!
"I'm very sorry that I got you involved in this mess." Vivien was full of apologies to Steve.
"You are not wrong in this, so you don't have to apologize to me. When we encounter such illegal activities, we should stand up firmly against them. If we don't stand up to prosecute them, they will just continue to cheat others," Steve a.s.sured Vivien calmly.
"Thank you." Vivien bowed sincerely to Steve as she thanked him.
"Don't mention it. After all, everyone is a comrade-in-arms, so we need to help each other." Steve smiled.
Vivien smiled back. Her brilliant smile was akin to the warmest suns.h.i.+ne in winter. Steve had known Vivien for months, but this was the first time that he had seen her smile. Even Sofia, who was feared by many people, smiled more often than Vivien.
"What are you laughing at?" Steve asked.
"Nothing. I just didn't think that an elite like you would be willing to be a.s.sociated with someone like me." Vivien began to display her inferiority complex again.
Previously, no one wanted to be a.s.sociated with her. Even women did not like her. Those elites were even more disdainful of being in contact with such a "low-cla.s.s" person as her. In fact, Steve was the only one who had been willing to approach her.
"What you mean 'people like you'?" Steve frowned. "You are excellent! Better than most people! Others can't see that, but I can."
"Thank you for your comfort and encouragement. I know I am worse than others, but I will always keep trying." Vivien again bowed and thanked Steve again, then turned around to leave.

At this moment, Steve grabbed her tender little hand, which was as soft as dough. "Where are you going?" Steve asked her.
Vivien's face suddenly blushed with shyness. Steve was the first person to take the initiative to hold her hand. She replied quickly, "I'm going back."
"Going back to your place?" Steve asked.
Vivien nodded.
"Don't go back! You have to follow me!" Steve said pa.s.sionately.
"No... No... We just met. Things between us are developing too fast. I don't deserve to be with you..." Vivien's nervous speech was almost incoherent, as she could not speak clearly.
"What are you talking about?" Steve couldn't help but laugh when he heard her. "Michael will never let you off. If you go back alone now, they will surely make trouble for you."
He then urged her even more. "You are in a dangerous situation right now! Before the outcome of the trial, you should stay close to me. I'll protect you. They will not dare to do anything to you, not with me by your side."
After all, Michael had verbally threatened them before. If Vivien was to return home alone, Michael might actually take some action against her!
As Vivien was only a weak young girl, who was far less powerful than Lucy and Sofia, Steve was worried for her. Hence, in order to ensure her safety, he must keep her by his side during these next two days.
After thinking for a while, mainly considering her safety, Viven nodded her head in agreement. "Thank you. I'll agree to stay with you for these next few days."
"Let's go. I'll protect you." Steve took Vivien by the hand and walked onward.
Vivien's pace was half a step behind Steve's. Under the moonlight, looking at Steve's back, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Thump thump...
Suddenly, her heart beat faster and her face became blushed. A feeling that she had never felt before filled her heart. The sweet, complex, ambiguous feeling of love overwhelmed her.
At this moment, she wished that this road would go on forever. Under the moonlight, their shadows resembled a couple that was enjoying an evening walk, the stars in the sky becoming the most beautiful backdrop.
Steve did not turn around to look at Vivien, so he did not notice her complex emotions. Ten minutes later, they arrived at their residence.
"I live with Lucy and Sofia. You don't have to be nervous when you meet them. They're easy to get along with." Steve a.s.sured her.
Vivien nodded. Every recruit in the camp was aware that both of the women were Steve's girlfriends. Many people even knew that they all lived together.
Steve had just returned to his apartment with Vivien, when three people walked out from behind the house.
"So, you two are together? It's no wonder that our men could not find her near her house," one of them, whose name was Willie, commented, while they all looked at Steve and Vivien with bad intentions.
"Who are you?" Steve asked the trio coldly.
"We're members of the Black Tiger Combat Unit. Since you've cut off the source of our financial backing, we're here to have a chat..." Willie sneered, while the three of them moved closer to Steve and Vivien.
Steve guarded Vivien behind him, while he looked at them coldly.
"So, you want to play hero and save the damsel in distress? It just so happens that the both of you are here together, so it saves us the trouble of looking for you individually!" Willie sneered.
The three men kept moving closer to Steve and Vivien, then surrounded them, preventing them from escaping.
