Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Lawrence spread rumors to depict Steve as a villain who bullied other people. He was also trying to incite hatred in everyone's hearts, as he wanted all of the soldiers to despise Steve. In this way, Steve had quickly become the public enemy of the military base.

Steve didn't explain much to the recruits who had fought alongside him. However, Andrew, Allen, Lucy, and the others were explaining the truth of the situation on Steve's behalf.

Even so, not every recruit believed Steve. Some were still uncertain. Regardless of their opinions, Steve didn't care.

...

As night fell, more soldiers than usual had gathered in the Original Gravity Tower. The number of active soldiers in the vicinity of the Original Gravity Tower ranged from 20,000 to 30,000 daily, and sometimes there would only be about 10,000. But tonight, more than 50,000 soldiers had arrived.

They were all here for Steve. As he was the biggest villain in the military base, many soldiers wanted to see Steve learn his lesson!

A large number of soldiers had already gathered in the Original Gravity Tower. The Black Tiger second Subunit had naturally arrived long ago. They stood in front of the main gate, crossing their arms as they waited for Steve to arrive.

They were trying to overshadow each other by displaying their strength. Even though the game had not yet started, they wanted to strike fear in Steve's heart with their fearsome auras.

At the same time, many people were standing guard in front of the Original Gravity Tower, also waiting for Steve's arrival. Unfortunately, they were disappointed, as even though they had waited for most of the day, Steve still hadn't arrived. After waiting so long for Steve, the soldiers who already had been disgusted with Steve were even more disgusted with Steve!

"That kid hasn't come yet?"

"He must be afraid."

"Unexpectedly, Steve has not only a bad character, but he is also a coward. He agreed to the challenge, but he hasn't appeared."

There was a lot of talk going around, and many people were already cursing Steve. Lawrence's expression was bad, too. He was waiting for Steve with raging anger, feeling that Steve had played him like a monkey.

"Audrey, do you think Steve will come?" Jenna was also curious. She wanted Steve to come, but also was worried for him too.

She was curious about Steve. She had only met Steve once, but as Steve was able to hit the eighth level of the Original Gravity Tower in one shot, she figured that it was time that she got to know such an amazing strength and talent.

However, she knew that Lawrence's strength was also very strong. As such, Steve might not be able to gain the advantage when he arrived. He might even be humiliated! So, Jenna decided that she did, and didn't, want Steve to come!

"Just a mere recruit, yet he dares to be so arrogant! It would be strange if he dared to come." Next to Jenna, a yellow-haired man sneered. "Jenna, scum like him will never be qualified to join our team."

"Warner is right. Audrey, you've seen Steve's character for yourself clearly today. Do you really want to spend a million dollars to invite garbage like him into the team? He doesn't deserve it at all!" Nathaniel sneered.

After a moment of silence, Audrey said, "I am absolutely sure that he will come. He was brave enough to accept such a terrible challenge at the last new recruits welcoming group battle, and although Lawrence is stronger than him, he will definitely dare to face this challenge."

"I also think he'll come. He's not ordinary, and I don't think he's such a scumbag." Jenna nodded in agreement.

Warner and Nathaniel's faces suddenly grew gloomy. After all, they were Jenna's and Audrey's suitors, and they were also members of each other's team.

Warner himself was very talented, so many of the teams wanted him to join them. However, since he had taken such a fancy to Jenna, he joined the Bauhinia Battle Team.

Yesterday, however, he heard that Jenna had agreed to date a new recruit to get him to join her team. This had irritated Warner, who had tried hard to pursue Jenna, without having Jenna even look at him once. Now, in order to get Steve into the team, she had promised to date Steve!

Warner was beyond jealous, especially when he saw Steve's bad behavior on the internet today. He did not care if it was the truth. In fact, he had secretly fanned the flames, constantly slandering Steve online.

Nathaniel's situation was similar to Warner's. He was well-known among the veterans, as his basic cell value had reached more than 390 points, making him the most likely genius to break through to 400 points. The Watt Battle Team had spent half a million dollars in order to bring him into the team.

After entering the battle team, Nathaniel was attracted by Audrey and had admired her. Yesterday, when he knew that Audrey was willing to spend a million dollars to get Steve into the battle team, and also discovered that Steve was only a new recruit who had entered the military base for less than a week, Nathaniel was equally jealous and angry.

He said, "I only got half a million dollars to join the battle team. Steve was just a recruit, yet he got offered a million dollars to join! Am I no better than a recruit?"

Nathaniel was very dissatisfied with Steve.

Why is Steve worth twice as much as I was?

As for thinking of Steve as a love rival, it never crossed his mind. This was because, to him, Steve was a mere recruit, who did not have the qualifications to be his love rival. Unlike Nathaniel, Warner was jealous of Steve because Jenna had promised to date him.

"Audrey, you only met Steve yesterday. How can you know what he is like?" Nathaniel sighed. "I think you are wrong. He may be a scumbag and have bad character."

"This time, I agree with Nathaniel's statement. Everyone saw the video and pictures, which clearly show that he bullied the Black Tiger shop clerk and started to attack people, almost killing Eric! Although he is strong, scum like him should not be allowed to join the team." Warner nodded in agreement.

As both of them constantly planted the idea that Steve was a vicious man in the ears of Audrey and Jenna, everyone else was discussing whether or not Steve would dare to show up. If he didn't have the courage to accept the challenge, he would appear to be a real coward in front of everyone. Then, Steve would forever be the object of disgust and contempt for soldiers in the future.

At this time, not only were the soldiers concerned about this battle, but the instructors and officers were also deeply invested in the outcome as well. However, they did not wait in the Original Gravity Tower, but in the internal command center of the Original Gravity Tower. There they sat, observing the scene through monitoring cameras.

"Steve can't be that kind of person.," Wendy said affirmatively. "James, has the deleted video been restored?"

"Chief Instructor, the hacker who did this is quite skilled, and the video is still being restored," James responded.

"Wendy, since you're so sure that Steve's not that kind of person, are you also sure that he's going to come?" Nixon laughed as he asked.
