"Mr. Celo Senior, I …" Caleb hesitated."What?" Roman said in a dissatisfied tone, "Are you afraid of him too?"Roman's words attracted everyone's attention from the Celo family.After all, Caleb was the greatest martial arts expert in the Celo family of Easton. Everyone thought his true capabilities could not be measured."Mr. Celo Senior, I think we should forget it." Caleb quickly thought of an excuse and said, "The annual meeting will begin soon. Every member of the Celo family is here at Easton. We have many guests. It would be embarrassing if other people see this.""Yes!" Zenny agreed, "Caleb is right. We have many guests here today. It's not wise to cause a scene. Why don't we let him in for now? We will deal with him after the annual meeting is over."Sure!" Roman thought about it and figured he was too reckless just now.If Caleb threw Marcus out of the place and the Celo family of Newcove saw it, they would surely use the opportunity to make a fuss and expose the Celo

As expected, Marcus' face turned gloomy the next moment. He stared at Freddy and asked, "What did you say?""I'm calling you a bastard of the Celo family!" Freddy said jokingly without realizing how scary Marcus' gaze was. He thought a bastard from Prudence County like Marcus would be humiliated in Easton and still endure it.Before Freddy could react, Marcus slapped him.Freddy was shocked. He covered his face and exclaimed angrily, "How dare a bastard of the Celo family hit me?"Marcus slapped Freddy continuously after Freddy finished speaking. Freddy's face hurt badly, and he was deeply humiliated.Freddy rushed toward Marcus and tried to beat him. Before he could get near Marcus, he was already knocked out.Marcus stepped on Freddy's face and asked, "Do you still dare call me a bastard?""No!" Freddy was suffering. When Marcus let go of Freddy, Freddy realized a few of his teeth had fallen out."Darn it!" Freddy took out his phone and called his subordinates. "Get over here

The Celo family of Easton had arranged for Marcus to sit in a secluded corner. It was a spot where people would not usually notice. In fact, Marcus was not particularly interested in the Celo Annual Meeting. Although it was a grand event for the entire Celo family, it was not worth mentioning in his eyes. So, Marcus had no objections regarding the Celo family of Easton's arrangements. He sat there and observed the situation in the venue.He had to admit that the Celo family of Easton had put great effort into decorating the venue. They had spent a lot to adorn the place with exquisite decor. The venue exuded a majestic vibe. It was on par with Easton City's Tenth Anniversary celebration back then. Nevertheless, not everyone with the last name Celo could attend the Celo Annual Meeting. Only the country's top ten branches of the Celo family could participate. These included the Celo family of Easton, the Celo family of Newcove, and the Celo family of Lommore.The family lea

At that very moment, Roman and the others were frightened to the core. They could not believe Marcus had the guts to ignore Titus' command. After all, with his authority, the latter held absolute power in the entire Celo family.No one in the Celo family dared to defy his orders. However, Roman did not know that Marcus never saw himself as part of the Celo family. Hence, he treated both Roman and Titus the same. So, although the whole Celo family held Titus in high regard, he was still just an outsider to Marcus. Since he was merely an outsider, why should Marcus heed his orders?At that point, Titus wore a grim expression. "Hey, rascal, I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?"Roman's heart thumped violently, fearing Titus would explode in fury. If that were to happen, then it was over for the Celo family of Easton. Even if they managed to invite the commander-in-chief, they still could not wipe away the disgrace Marcus brought about.Titus sensed a dent in his pride as M

On the other hand, the expressions of Gavin and the family heads from other branches changed. That was because they knew that with Zeno around, they could only surpass the Celo family of Easton if their achievements could impress Titus. However, no matter their remarkable successes, how could it be better than Zeno's title as a major general in the Great Mountain Brigade?Moreover, Zeno was the commander-in-chief's right-hand man."Amazing, amazing, amazing!" Titus said three times. He even affectionately pulled Zeno closer to him. Then, Titus pointed at the chair on the left, saying, "Come sit beside me, Zeno!"At that moment, every member of the Celo family understood why there were two more presidential chairs beside Titus. It seemed like the Celo family of Easton had long prepared for this.One needed to have the qualifications to sit beside Titus. Zeno, with his status as the major general in the Great Mountain Brigade, was indeed eligible. The other Celo family heads co
