They were in the middle of the Celo Annual Meeting. To be disciplined in front of all the different branches of the Celo family would be extremely mortifying. It was already a delicate situation for Roman as he had revealed something unsavory about the Easton Celo family. Unfortunately, Roman had run out of options. It was all because of Marcus that he had come to this decision. If they did not cut ties with Marcus as soon as possible, the young man might cause more trouble for the Easton Celo family later on. Moreover, the commander-in-chief would be arriving at any moment. Roman did not mind losing face in front of the other branches of the Celo family. However, it would be unacceptable if they were to cause a scene while the commander-in-chief was around. Roman turned to Titus and asked, "Sir Titus, can I have your permission to discipline the young man now?" "Alright." Titus nodded in affirmation. "Although all of the Celo families have gathered at our meeting today t

"Have Julius and the Four Guardians arrived?"The scene was shocking.The members of the Celo family were dumbfounded.The Laureates Alliance was known as the largest alliance in southern Merania. The leader, Julius, had considerable influence and was on par with Dawson Fletcher, the head of the Easton royal families.Having witnessed the Easton Scions and all the royal families of Easton kneeling before Marcus just moments ago, all members of the Celo family once again focused their gaze on Marcus.There wasn't even a need for them to ask. Julius and the others were definitely here for Marcus.As soon as Julius, accompanied by the Four Guardians, entered, they headed straight to Marcus.Julius knelt in front of Marcus and respectfully said, "I, Julius, the leader of the Laureates Alliance, along with the Four Guardians, are here for you, master!"The Four Guardians knelt together and exclaimed, "Master!"What was going on?Did the entire Laureates Alliance acknowledge Marcus

Just as Roman looked bewildered, Titus turned to Marcus with a smiling face, "Child, I don't know how you managed to make the royal families of Easton and the Laureates Alliance submit to you, but you indeed carry the blood of the Celo family of Easton."I actually have high hopes for you."Marcus smiled and asked, "So? What do you want to tell me?"Titus paused. "Child, I am Titus of the Celo family. I have more authority than any other head of the Celo family present to decide if you can become part of the Celo family. Of course, with your current power, you don't need the support of the Celo family."However, as the saying goes, the more friends, the more opportunities."I believe that the Celo family can work together with you, forming a strong alliance. In this way, you gain the powerful support of the Celo family, and we, the Celo family, also acknowledge you, our grandson. It's a win-win situation. Why not?"Roman realized something upon hearing what Titus said.Titus int

Marcus was the commander-in-chief!Roman couldn't help but feel a moment of dizziness. Roman suddenly realized after recalling the various events that had occurred before.He recalled how Wyatt occupied Vivian and Courtney but got deposed in the end, and Thanose was going to assist but lost an arm. He also recalled how the top head of the Easton royal family, Dawson, led 49 families to the capital and returned empty-handed. All of these incidents clearly indicated that Marcus was the commander-in-chief. It was absurd that the Celo family of Easton had been oblivious, thinking Marcus had merely coincidentally encountered the commander-in-chief's interventions.It could be that he was merely lucky if this only happened once.But after numerous coincidences, it was hard to think so.Marcus couldn't help but smile after noticing the expressions on the Celos' faces. He pointed at the three presidential chairs placed on the podium and instructed Elijah, "Elijah, go and bring that

Roman glanced around the venue and then said to Marcus, "Commander, there are many people here. Can we talk privately?"After all, it was not a glorious matter, and Roman didn't want to discuss it in front of everyone. Moreover, it involved the secrets of the Celo family of Easton.Marcus nodded and said, "Sure. I'll wait for you outside."With that, Marcus walked straight out.Roman followed him closely behind."There's no one around here. You can speak now." Marcus leaned against a tree and lit a cigarette provided by the military.Roman finally opened up. "Yes, Commander. Your mother's name is Winnie. Back then, she was my most beloved daughter. She was proficient in various arts and exceptionally intelligent. She assisted the Celo family of Easton in business and was highly successful.""Winnie?" Marcus muttered silently. This was the first time Marcus learned his mother's name since his birth.Roman nodded. "Yes, your birth mother's name is Winnie. At that time, your m
