Tobias had previously lived in the Southeast region and had never directly crossed paths with the Laureates Alliance, but Tobias was aware of them due to their reputation.However, even though the Laureates Alliance was powerful, Tobias, who had once been a national war god, had no fear, especially with Marcus behind him. Who could have a more influential background than the commander-in-chief?"So, you are August, the Laureates Alliance's Octet Guardians leader. I've heard that your punches are unstoppable. Maybe you can teach me a thing or two." Tobias sneered at August. "If I'm not mistaken, the three behind you should also be part of the Octet Guardians, right?""That's right!" August nodded. "They are Kieran Waters, Adrian Maverick, and Sylvan Crimson.""Today, four of the Octet Guardians have come here for one purpose – to take your life and have you join my junior in death!""Let's see if you are capable of that," Tobias said, adopting a combat stance."Attack!" The Four

"Hey, isn't this Marcus, who married into the Lorimers?" Felix said with a smirk. "Your timing is impeccable, showing up right after the Laureates Alliance retreated.""Yeah?" Marcus immediately understood Felix's implication—these two brothers were here to claim credit.Marcus replied nonchalantly, "The two of you showing up is quite timely as well.""Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Felix retorted, displeased. "Do you think kicking out the Laureates Alliance was all thanks to you?""That's right. I'm the one who dealt with the Laureates Alliance," Marcus responded."Hahaha!" Felix scoffed. "This is hilarious! If it weren't for the Hendrix family stepping in, would the Lorimers in Cromford be unscathed? And you dare to come here and take credit!""I think it's you who wants to claim credit!" Marcus sneered disdainfully. "You say the Hendrix family dealt with the Laureates Alliance. Well, let me ask you this, who is the leader of the Laureates Alliance?""Well …" Josiah and F

Jameson had long coveted Brenda but had been struggling without the right opportunity. Tonight presented the perfect chance, and he wasn't about to let anyone ruin his plan.Marcus spoke calmly, "I'm her brother-in-law.""Brother-in-law?" Jameson gave Marcus a skeptical look, sizing him up. "How come I didn't know?"Of course, Jameson knew. The Lorimers in Cromford had a low-ranking son-in-law. This son-in-law wasn't highly regarded within the Lorimers in Cromford. Judging by Marcus' appearance, he might be handsome, but his plain attire indicated his lack of favor within the Lorimers in Cromford. Therefore, Jameson didn't consider Marcus worth his attention."I've never heard Brenda mention having a brother-in-law," Jameson said, showing disdain. "Who are you, some wild man? Don't mess with me, get out of here!"As he spoke, Jameson tried to shove Marcus. However, the moment Jameson's hand reached out, Marcus seized it. With a swift push, Jameson stumbled backward several steps

"Are the Celos that powerful?" Marcus couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard their words. That was interesting. However, his expression looked greedy in the eyes of Lachlan and Zenny. "Yes!" Zenny hurriedly replied. "If you return to our family, you'll certainly be an influential person there. Since you've suffered so much in the past, the Celos will compensate everything for you."He added, "I'm not trying to brag, but we're able to fulfill every request you have in Easton."Just then, Lachlan chimed in, "Mr. Coleman, please return home quickly. Your grandfather misses you so much and cries almost every day because of you.""Oh, is that so?" Marcus looked at Lachlan meaningfully. "Of course," the other man answered. He nodded his head. "Your grandfather misses you dearly!"Meanwhile, Zenny hurriedly said, "Yes! Mr. Coleman, let's go back quickly to reunite with us!"On the other hand, Vivian, who was looking at the scene, was so touched that she began crying. S

After Marcus finished speaking, two bodyguards immediately escorted Xavion out of the premises. When Vivian saw Xavion leave, she said, "Marcus, your uncle seems pretty sincere. Wouldn't it be bad for you to chase him away so heartlessly?""That's true," Marcus replied. "However, he would only cause harm to me!""Why?" Vivian asked in confusion. "That's because he has a hidden motive," Marcus answered leisurely. "Think about it, Vivian. How did the Lorimers in Cromford and the Childes treat you back then?"The Celos are the same as them. They only want to make use of people."After many life experiences, Vivian realized that in wealthy families, everyone pursued their own interests. Even family members would turn against one another if it benefitted them.As such, she instantly knew what Marcus was feeling then. …"What? He really said that?"Meanwhile, Roman was in the Celo residence. Once he heard what Xavion said, he was so angry that he hit the table. "Marcus is too
