When Faye raised this question, everyone present was silent. As the head of the family, a tarnished reputation could be detrimental to the Lorimer family."What's the big deal?" Nora responded with a disdainful expression, saying, "This investment opportunity comes once in a lifetime. If we succeed, the Lorimer family will ascend to the ranks of top-tier wealthy families in no time."I must seize this rare opportunity with all my might."As for my reputation, what does it matter compared to the future development of the Lorimer family?"With these words, Nora received immediate respect from everyone present."For the sake of the growth of the Lorimer family, Grandma displays such a noble attitude, setting an example for us all," Luke said. "There are 50 to 60 of us here. Even if Vivian questions us about the revised documents and contracts, we can all speak with one voice, insisting they were always this way. With this, Vivian will have nothing to say!""Luke, your plan is tr

"Marcus, your rampage here is unforgivable!" Nora spoke with a malicious tone. "Today, I must punish you severely so that you won't think our family is easy to bully!""What do you intend to do to me?" Marcus raised an eyebrow."I'll break your legs, and you'll spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair," Nora said with a menacing expression. "Don't worry. We can take care of you for the rest of your life.""What?" Vivian's face turned pale upon hearing Nora's words. She was clearly planning to take drastic action.She exclaimed, "Grandma, you can't do this to Marcus!"Marcus, on the other hand, remained unfazed. He placed Vivian behind him and smiled. "Vivian, there's no need to argue with her. These people are no match for me. They don't deserve our attention.""He's too arrogant!" Nora was furious. She shouted, "Go! Break his legs!"Luke and Faye wore confident smiles. In their eyes, these elite thugs were the best that they had to offer, and Marcus was clearly no match for

Although Zedekiah claimed to be returning home to recover from his injuries, it was merely a ruse to deceive the enemy. In reality, he was perfectly fine. To avoid arousing suspicion, no representatives from the local military command were sent to meet him upon his arrival. Instead, those who came to welcome Zedekiah were mostly upper-class families of the province, along with many civilians who admired him.As the cabin door opened, Roman's excitement reached its peak. He was about to meet the famous war hero, Zedekiah, who was every bit as renowned as Merania's Four Monstrous Generals under the commander-in-chief. The power and influence of the Celo family were about to rise to a new level.Amidst the eager anticipation of the crowd, Zedekiah, dressed in plain white attire, descended the walkway. Roman immediately stepped forward to welcome him. With great excitement, he shook Zedekiah's hand and said, "Chief Commander Wall, ever since you announced your intentions to recover f

"Chief Commander Wall, if you like, we can also build a statue of you and place it at the center of the Prudence County square," Roman said with a delighted expression. His demeanor seemed to say, "Chief Commander Wall, I did a good job, didn't I? Please, praise me!""Hehe, I don't think I deserve one," Zedekiah shook his head and replied. "Comparing me to the commander-in-chief would be an insult to him."Despite Zedekiah's significant military achievements, he felt he still fell short of being compared to Marcus.He walked around the statue and finally tilted his head, looking at the statue's head with a slightly displeased expression. Seeing this, Roman became nervous and asked, "Chief Commander Wall, is something wrong with this statue?"If Zedekiah was not satisfied, it was clear that the statue was awful. After all, Zedekiah was one of the closest people to the commander-in-chief."The problem is quite significant," Zedekiah looked at Roman and said, "Mr. Celo Senior, was

"You ... You are ..."Cassidy was so excited that she couldn't even speak properly. After all, before retiring, her encounters with Zedekiah in the military were few and far between. Even if they met, Zedekiah wouldn't pay any attention to her.Now, in this situation, being able to see Zedekiah up close, how could she not be excited?"Beautiful lady, please don't get too excited." Despite being the Commander of the 88th army force, Zedekiah still had a deep impression of exceptional soldiers in the military, such as Cassidy.He was afraid that Cassidy would accidentally reveal his identity in front of Vivian, so he quickly interrupted her and spoke with a smile, "I'm good buddies with Mr. Coleman. Back when I was wandering the streets, Mr. Coleman gave me a helping hand."Cassidy immediately understood that Zedekiah was trying to conceal his identity, so she stopped talking. However, she still looked extremely excited."Oh, you're Marcus' good friend," Vivian said, nodding. See
