Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

"Look, Steve's here!"

"Has that ba*tard finally arrived?"

"Unexpectedly, he really dared to accept the challenge."

Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, Steve arrived. A few hundred meters away, Steve could be seen walking calmly under the moonlight.

"I didn't expect him to come. At least he's not a coward."

"Hmph! I think he is crazy! Knowing that he will surely lose, he still dared to come."

"Hahaha, let's guess how many moves from Lawrence he can withstand. I bet he will be down for the count after just one move."

"I agree!"

All of a sudden, the voices of mockery quieted down, as a lot of people were suddenly shocked. As Steve moved closer, a large group of people could be seen following behind him.

There were at least a thousand people in the group. They followed Steve as if he were their leader.

"Those are the recruits from this group!"

"No, I also see some veterans who took part in the group battle previously."

"Why did they come with Steve? Are they showing their support for Steve?"

...

Many people wondered what was going on. After all, Steve's conduct was so bad, yet there were people willing to join him!

When Steve arrived at the main gate of the Original Gravity Tower, the group of onlookers could not help but step back in fear. Even Lawrence and ten other members of the Black Tiger Combat Unit were feeling nervous.

"I thought you were too afraid to come," Lawrence mocked Steve.

"Don't talk nonsense. Such a character like you would usually be done for within three episodes in a story. It was obvious that the author wanted to fulfill the word limit, and thus kept you in the story. Let's fight, and I shall end your character's storyline now," Steve said calmly.

"You treat me like a passer-by?" Lawrence sounded angry. "You are the passer-by! You are a piece of garbage only fit to be a stone under my feet! Don't think that you can win by bringing a large group of people with you to boost your courage. With your strength, I can easily defeat you." Lawrence looked mockingly at the group of people behind Steve, whose strongest basic cell value was 350. Although the number of people was large, in his eyes, all of them were nothing but garbage.

"No, you're wrong. Steve doesn't need us to boost his courage. We're here to prove that Steve is not who the rumors on the Internet portray him to be." Antonio immediately stood up for Steve.

"Yes! Although I have been defeated three times by him, his character is certainly not what the rumors on the Internet say it is. Someone must be slandering him." Helena spoke up next. After she stopped speaking, several others voiced their support of Steve...

"Somebody must be deliberately slandering Steve!"

"Steve is definitely not that kind of person!"

"Lawrence, don't ever think of using the Internet to spread rumors to destroy Steve. We believe him!"

...

After several minutes had passed, every single person in the group had stepped forward in support of Steve. The same group of people had previously spoken up for Steve on the Internet, but their comments were soon drowned out by innumerable abusive comments.

Steve himself was even surprised by the strong showing of support. He hadn't expected so many people would come here to support him.

"Is that not the case? Then, what is the truth?" Lawrence laughed sarcastically. "Video and photo evidence has been posted on the Internet. Everyone has witnessed Steve bullying the Black Tiger Store's assistants for no reason. Steve even beat up the members of the Black Tiger Combat Unit who were there for negotiation."

He then added, "Everything is well-founded. Do you still want to deny it? Or, do you have evidence to prove that this is not the case?

Lawrence had no fear that they would, as he had carefully deleted all of the evidence. Even if Steve knew the truth, he could not prove it. Without real evidence, there was nothing that Steve could do to rebuke Lawrence.

"Yes! He bullied us at the Black Tiger Store, then sued us." Jim stood up at this moment and said with an innocent look, "My boss is going to dismiss me, and it is entirely his fault."

"He almost killed me last night. How could such a cruel man be a good man?" Eric also stood up and cried out.

Initially, the veterans who were watching from the side started to wonder about the authenticity of the rumors, especially when they saw this huge group of people supporting Steve. But, seeing Jim and Eric coming forward with their complaints, the crowd soon began to lean towards Lawrence's side once more.

"I'm not mistaken. Steve is a big villain! His moves were lethal! Even my lungs were torn by him. If he dared to do this to me in the military base camp, what if he also kills others on the outside?" Eric kept trying to incite the crowd of onlookers.

...

When people see the strong bullying the weak, they tend to stand up for the weak. So, Jim and Eric played the role of victims who were being bullied by Steve. In this way, they painted a picture as if Steve was an absolute villain.

"You... You're lying! I can prove that Steve is a good man!" Vivien summoned all of her courage to stand behind Steve and point at Jim. "He sold me an inferior Subatomic Serum at the Black Tiger Store. Steve sued the Black Tiger Store in order to seek justice for me."

She then added, "Last night, they ambushed Steve and me with two other people from the Black Tiger Combat Unit. They were trying to teach us a lesson and force us to withdraw our lawsuit."

When the crowd saw Vivien, they felt as if a pure angel had just come to the world.

"What a lovely angel!"

"The hateful Black Tiger Store deceived such a lovely angel. Steve stood up for the sake of this angel to seek justice!"

"Such a pure angel would not lie."

...

Sometimes beauty could be a powerful weapon, and though many people initially believed the rumors, when Vivien appeared to support Steve, some of them immediately believed that Steve was innocent. This was because they felt that such an angel would not lie!

Among the crowd, however, one person was in a state of denial and oblivion...

"Who is this beautiful angel? The girl who I scammed yesterday? That's impossible!" Jim was confused, as Vivien looked totally different from how she had looked only yesterday.
