"I am," Marcus said bluntly. After a pause, he continued, "But I can't tell you what it is yet. Believe me when I say that I'll tell you everything when the time is right."He had yet to deal with the Coleman family. Some veterans in the Pantheon of the Drakon also had yet to accept him as the Drakon.Telling Vivian his identity now would only make her worry.Vivian stared into his eyes. It was as if she wanted to see his soul."Alright, then." She sounded a little disappointed. Maybe the mysterious billionaire was backing him up. Maybe he needed the mysterious billionaire's permission before telling her anything.Vivian sighed to herself. "It's good to have friends to rely on for help. But sometimes, I wish you could do these things based on your abilities." After saying that, she left."Huh?" Marcus thought about Vivian's words. Soon, he realized what she meant and couldn't help smiling bitterly.Who in this world was worthy of his reliance?…The first thing Marcus saw wh

The third floor of the shopping mall at Citrus Hall was only for clothes."Marcus, I … I have plenty of clothes. I don't like any of these, so let's not buy them. Maybe we should just go."Leah was delighted at the sight of the pretty clothes. But when she saw the exorbitant prices, she tugged Marcus' hand, wanting to leave.Marcus ruffled her hair dotingly. "Don't worry, I can afford all of these things."Leah was lying through her teeth. If she didn't like the clothes, her gaze wouldn't be glued to them."Well … okay. I'll take a look at them." At Marcus' insistence, Leah chose to give in. She decided to pick the cheapest item she could find. That way, she wouldn't embarrass Marcus and waste money.At this moment, Marcus' phone rang. It was Yannis. It looked like the Coleman family was finally making its move!"I need to answer this. You can look around first," he said to Leah. Then, he hurried to an empty corner to answer the phone."Sir, Wanda Coleman is on her way to Cromf

Nora snorted. "Understand the situation, won't you? We can't lay a finger on her at the moment.Vivian was the person who attracted an investment from Globestone Investments.She was also on good terms with the first person in charge of the Real Estate Bureau.Even the representative of Ziegler Group acknowledged only her.If Luke and Nora drove Vivian out of the company, the damage incurred would be irreversible."We can't lay a finger on her? Grandma, since when were you this irrational? Vivian is slowly garnering authority in the company."A lot of people are siding with her too. If this continues, not even you can keep her under control!" Luke blurted the cruel facts.Not being able to keep Vivian under their control was Nora's biggest concern.Luke walked to the balcony and gazed at the sky, crying."Grandpa, I'm useless. I didn't manage to sustain Lorimer Group. I hate myself for handing the company to an outsider."Vivian and Marcus, that loser, are getting along bette

Unlike the nine-year compulsory education plan, the Academy for Cromford Elites made an educational plan for each student based on their age and circumstances.So, they would be able to cultivate competent graduates in the most optimum period possible.That was why the academy accepted new students every month.Its minimum sponsorship was 50 thousand dollars. Although the amount differed for every student, it was certainly not cheap.After all, they had the best teachers worldwide.Besides, half of the annual intake of students in top universities like Dapeton University consisted of graduates from the Academy for Cromford Elites.Hence, elite families were willing to send their children to that academy despite the expensive sponsorship they needed to pay.As the Drakon, Marcus could easily settle the sponsorship.Even though that academy was an institution under the Pantheon of the Drakon, Marcus didn't want to reveal his identity yet.When he brought Leah to the academy, a l

Marcus snarled, "Let's not even mention how your wife skipped the line earlier. What about how she hit someone first? How dare you ask if I'm content after the fuss she caused?""That's right! It's rare to see a parent with such a great sense of justice like Mr. Coleman these days!""You must give Mr. Coleman a satisfactory explanation, Vice Chairman Linden! Otherwise, we won't agree!"That rendered Murphy speechless.The drivers and secretaries staring Lucille earlier instantly came to Marcus' defense. Murphy may be the school board's vice chairman, but he was nothing compared to the ultra-rich Marcus, who sponsored 100 million to the school in one go.Seeing the opportunistic group switch sides amused Marcus. He found it hilarious that everyone who criticized him was now supporting him. The scene was a perfect example of a double standard. Before Marcus said anything, Murphy frowned and spoke. "Mr. Coleman, you and Ms. Leah will never see my bratty son in this school again. Al
