"After I infiltrated the enemy's forces, I contacted Merania and worked with them from within. I obtained the trust of the enemy's commander and persuaded him to use my strategy."After a week of infiltration, I finally got my chance. The commander accepted my suggestion and exposed the main forces. It allowed Merania the best opportunity to wipe out the enemy. In that battle, Merania took out more than 50 thousand troops while I killed the enemy commander." Marcus kept recalling the moment and was entranced in the memory."I was lucky enough to participate in the victory." The insightful soldier felt emotional suddenly. "When the coalition invaded Merania, everyone was pessimistic. People lived in terror and the stock markets crashed. "Some parties in the country who prioritized peace wanted to surrender and sign a land cession treaty with the coalition to ensure Merania's safety."After all, it was unprecedented for a coalition of 40 countries to invade Merania. Everyone w

Upon hearing Zenny's words, Marcus couldn't help but chuckle.Building a statue for himself? That was certainly a novel idea. However, the Celos appeared to be flattering him.On the other hand, Marcus had never been fond of such sneaky methods. "I think It's better if you don't," he said with a cold smile, his expression filled with disdain. "The commander-in-chief doesn't fancy sycophantic gestures.""What sycophantic gestures? What nonsense are you talking about?" Xavion retorted, clearly displeased. "We're building a statue to honor the commander-in-chief's remarkable achievements."And besides, how do you know whether he'll like it or not?" Xavion's words made Zenny and Lachlan glance at Marcus incredulously. "The commander-in-chief won't like it? Are these your words or his?" Xavion grumbled."I said it, which also means the commander-in-chief said it," Marcus replied."Hahaha!" Hearing Marcus' response, Xavion burst into laughter, pointing at him. "Kid, are you telli

If only local companies participated, Prudence County Trading Association could easily manipulate the investment bidding conference to make even more profit. However, with foreign companies who were unfamiliar with the local situation involved, it would be chaotic. When various forces got involved, the Prudence County Trading Association would have a hard time maintaining control."By the way!" Matthew frowned slightly after hearing Timothy's words. "I heard that provincial government officials are not personally handling this investment bidding conference. Instead, it's entrusted to a young man named Marcus.""I've looked into him," Winston added. "He's only 25 years old and is currently on a secondment in Northfort. He's not a part of the government system.""He's probably another playboy from one of the major families in Easton or the capital. He was probably sent out by the family to gain some experience and take over the family business."These playboys from collateral branc

These people contributed significantly to the province's GDP, so the provincial government had to disregard some of their actions. In the end, they indirectly controlled this large amount of funds. The governor took all of this into consideration. The five trillion was too significant, especially with the influx of non-local companies.The stakes involved were enormous. If they were allowed to act recklessly, it could lead to turmoil in the business world. That was why the governor handed over the decision-making power to Marcus."These scoundrels parade under a bright banner while plundering the citizens' wealth. Their so-called contribution to the GDP is just moving money from one pocket to another," Marcus said coldly. "Prudence County Trading Association has no reason to exist."Meanwhile, at the Prudence County Trading Association, the Lorimer family sent Luke to present a five-million-dollar check to Matthew, Winston, and Timothy. Including their previous bribes, the Lorimer

"Oh, this brat's wife is quite pretty," Xavion said as he saw Vivian for the first time today. Her beauty immediately caught his attention. "How did he manage to marry such a beautiful wife?"Zenny corrected him, "Xavion, he married into the Lorimer family of Cromford.""Is there a difference?" Xavion rolled his eyes and said, "She's such a beautiful woman, and she still ended up with that fool.""Let's go and say hello!" Zenny and Lachlan had been to Tension Incorporated before, so Vivian was familiar with them."Are you from the Celo family?" Vivian asked with a puzzled expression. "Are you also here to participate in the investment bidding conference?""That's right," Xavion replied with pride. "We, the Celo family, are determined to win this investment bidding conference. As for your family, victory is not so certain."Vivian's face darkened immediately. She had low expectations for the investment bidding conference. If she failed to secure the investment, she planned to
