When Marcus arrived at Childe Group, the whole family was there. Even Norman and Shirley were there. They were obviously there to discuss something important.

None of them acknowledged Marcus' presence and continued with the discussion.

Norman sat at the head of the conference table. He gazed at everyone. "I'm sure you've heard about Phisteele Corporation's renaming ceremony tomorrow. Rumor has it this mysterious mogul from Easton has invited many of Northfort's entrepreneurs."

"Don't underestimate Phisteele Corporation. Their new chairman, Mr. Steele, managed to acquire the company without the Northfort Chamber of Commerce hearing about it. He's not someone to be trifled with!" Shirley said.

"I also heard they have the government supporting them. It looks like things in Northfort are about to change drastically!"

Shirley's words shocked everyone. Naturally, they'd heard about Phisteele Corporation. But only Northfort's first-rate families would have the chance to hear about the c

    Vivian checked the time. It was five minutes to 7:00 am. The fact that the Childe family was in such a hurry to see them probably meant Marcus had lost.It did make sense. The Childe family was only a second-rate family in Northfort. How could it possibly win the favor of a mysterious mogul from Easton?If they had to leave, she would make sure they looked good while doing it. She would leave without a second look back.Marcus had his breath taken away when he saw how beautifully-dressed Vivian was. He couldn't help saying, "You're gorgeous today, honey!"Vivian's face turned red. "Are you saying I'm usually not?""Of course not." Marcus smiled. "You're just extra pretty today. Did you dress up because you have a feeling we're gonna win?"Vivian was lost for words. It wasn't because she thought they were going to win. It was because she had a feeling they would lose!Marcus and Vivian headed to Childe Group's headquarters in Elijah's Jeep. The Childe family were already waiting

    Marcus' words stunned the Childe family—mostly because he was right. His last sentence made Norman's face turn red out of embarrassment. If Norman were to say Marcus had lost the bet, wouldn't he be too shameless for words?"You're right." Despite his reluctance, Norman had no choice but to say, "You've won the bet. Now, I hereby declare that Vivian, aside from her duties as the vice president, will also be Childe Group's head of HR. She's fully in charge of the company's personnel!"Everyone knew Norman's words were equivalent to a decree. Vivian had officially gained control of the company's employees.This came as a surprise to Vivian. She'd already prepared herself to resign. Yet instead of that happening, she was now in charge of the company's employees!Norman and Shirley got ready to head to Phisteele Corporation for the renaming ceremony.On the other hand, Wade, Walter, and Xavier gathered at the Northfort Chamber of Commerce."Everything's ready, Wade," Xavier said. "We

    "Mr. Tiller's here!" Wade, Walter, and Xavier were incredibly excited."Walter, Xavier!" Wade looked like he couldn't stand still. "We have to hurry downstairs to welcome Mr. Tiller. It's truly an honor to have him here!""Indeed!" Xavier nodded vigorously. He even tugged his collar, seemingly afraid of leaving Yannis with a bad impression."It's just Yannis. Do you really need to make him sound like such a big deal?" Marcus couldn't help snorting at the three old men's antics.The Pantheon's forces comprised three Exemplars, six Warders, and 72 Gladiators. Yannis' position as a Mercenary was one of the lowest-ranked in the Pantheon of the Drakon. He was no better than a lackey."What do you know?" Wade scoffed, looking displeased. "Setting aside Mr. Tiller being a member of the Pantheon of the Drakon, his other identity would give you a shock!""Oh, really?" Marcus narrowed his eyes. "Try me.""You'd better listen closely, brat," Walter said. "Mr. Tiller hails from one of Easto

    Marcus returned to Childe Group. He headed straight to the security room to get the surveillance footage of the building's entrance. The footage showed Vivian had left the building alone after answering a call. While waiting for a cab, a Ford had raced toward her and skidded to a stop. A few men had gotten out and thrown a bag over her head before stuffing her into the car and leaving.There wasn't a license plate on the car, so they couldn't glean any information from it. Marcus sent the footage to Murray and commanded, "I want to know where this car went. You have five minutes."Though the text had told Marcus to be at the abandoned factory by 8:00 pm, that didn't mean the Ford had been headed there. The abductors weren't fools.Marcus sent a reply to the abductors. "I'll give you an hour to return my wife to me without a hair on her head harmed. Otherwise, you'll have hell to pay."At the same time, Vivian was bound and gagged in an underground casino in Northfort. She was cur

    Vivian, who was curled up in a corner, started struggling when she saw Marcus. This made Marcus' gaze turn icy. He applied pressure on the dagger, making droplets of blood ooze out of Damon's neck."Calm down, dude!" Damon cried. "You're holding a weapon there!"Marcus looked murderous as he kicked Damon away and hurried toward Vivian. With a few quick slashes, she was free from the ropes binding her. Marcus removed the gag from her mouth, looking like his heart was aching as he said, "I'm here to save you, Vivian."For some reason, Vivian felt secure to see Marcus there."What's wrong with you, Damon? You couldn't even deal with a piece of shit!" Jaden snarled."You're the leader of Northfort Gang, yet you allowed a matrilocal son-in-law to crash your casino. You'll be the laughingstock of the city if people hear about this!" Ean goaded.Now that Damon didn't have a dagger to his neck, his anger at being humiliated surfaced. He clapped his hands. Countless gang members gathered

    Woody and Ean's expressions changed when they heard Walter's words. Based on the way Walter had acted with Marcus, it was highly likely he would turn Jaden into a cripple. And they, as accomplices in abducting Vivian …"What do you mean by that, Mr. Windward? I don't think I understand you." Woody pretended to be unruffled."Don't understand me?" Walter smiled. "That's fine. You'll get it when you reach home." He left with Jaden in tow.Later, before Woody and Ean arrived home, they received a photo of Jaden sitting in a wheelchair with his limbs twisted at odd angles. Walter had personally done the job.Though there wouldn't be any official reports about this, word about Jaden's condition would get out in high society. So, Woody and Ean didn't doubt the authenticity of the photo. The fact that Walter would personally turn his son into a cripple showed how powerful Marcus' identity was.Woody returned home, feeling on tenterhooks. Sure enough, he saw his father waiting for him whi

    "The three presidents will never come here to apologize!" Howard interrupted the Childe family members' fantasies. "Think about it. Although the Northfort Three Musketeers abducted Vivian, the whole incident was caused by Marcus.""Do you think the presidents of Northfort Chamber of Commerce will humble themselves and apologize to us in person?""You must be imagining things!""Howard is right!" Brad was enlightened by Howard's words. "In that case, the Northfort Chamber of Commerce must be coming for our heads!""What should we do?" Shirley panicked. The Northfort Chamber of Commerce could destroy the Childe family because it supported Nortfort's economy."Why don't we ask for help from Mr. Steele?" Norman suggested."No." Howard shook his head and said, "Mr. Steele came to us personally. He invited our family to attend the renaming ceremony of Phisteele Corporation. It's obvious that our family is reputable in Mr. Steele's opinion.""If we seek Mr. Steele's help right now, it

    "That's right.""Michael's family should take the most credit. The gifts should go to them!""Michael, what a great son-in-law you are."Everyone from the Childe family agreed and started to praise Michael and Yvette.Maisie also started feeling arrogant.Shirley could not help but agree. "The three presidents must have been showing respect to Michael and his family. The gifts should belong to them."Vivian was baffled because the three presidents just said the gifts were for her.Maisie, who relied on Zeke's influence, thought it was a matter of course. When she went to take the luxurious gifts. Marcus sneered and said, "All of you heard the three presidents saying the gifts are specifically for Vivian. If I told them this, what do you think they would do?"Maisie was taken aback when she heard Marcus. She quickly withdrew her hands out of fear.The other people were also stunned by Marcus' move. Wade, Xavier, and Walter did mention specifically who the gifts were for. No o

    Sean nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Alan and the others really can't adapt. Why bring military rules into everything else?"Wallace glanced at Sean and said, "Of course, Marcus can earn my respect if he can demonstrate the strength that commands it."Sean shook his head. "I find that unlikely. Take the bet, for instance. If he can really break past the Colemans' gates a year from now, maybe we can respect him."Wallace sneered. "With just that? Does he even deserve our respect for that?"Breaking past the Colemans' gates is just the beginning."To earn our respect, he has to make it onto the Meranian Wolf List!""Meranian Wolf List?" Sean's eyes lit up.In the Meranian military, the Meranian Wolf List was a reflection of a soldier's strength. Those who made the list were undoubtedly individuals with exceptional powers. The higher the rank, the stronger the individual.Among the top 50 on the Meranian Wolf List were figures feared by enemy nations. Even Chief Commander Wal

The air in the private room was thick with the scent of cold sweat.It took a good ten minutes before Alan finally spoke. "It truly defies my imagination! The bastard son despised by Mr. Coleman Senior has turned out to be Merania's guardian, the commander-in-chief!"Zakir nodded in agreement. "Mr. Coleman Senior was right. The commander-in-chief is indeed a member of the Colemans! It's ridiculous. Mr. Coleman Senior went to great lengths to uncover the commander-in-chief's true identity and background, not knowing that the commander-in-chief is his own son!""This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Under no circumstances should we reveal the commander-in-chief's true identity to Mr. Coleman Senior. Otherwise, the five of us will not only ruin our future but may also spend the rest of our lives behind bars!" Al

    Marcus, too, did not expect that the Colemans who invited him and Vivian to dinner would turn out to be these troublemakers. These guys clearly intended to cause trouble from the looks of it.Marcus glanced around the room and pretended to be puzzled by asking, "Are you planning to go against me?"Alan and the others got goosebumps upon hearing Marcus' question.Their palms were sweating uncontrollably.They were indeed planning to humiliate Marcus.However, they never expected Marcus to be the commander-in-chief!In addition to the Dragon Training Camp incident, Alan and the other four had already attempted to take action against Marcus for the second time. The fact that they had tried to target the commander-in-chief twice in a row made them feel fearful.Alan quickly realized the gravity of the situation. His head shook mechanically, and he hastily said, "No… No! The five of us just wanted to invite you and Mrs. Coleman to have a simple dinner!"Zakir even took the initi

    After Alan hung up, Vivian went to talk to Marcus about what had just happened.Vivian said with a concerned look, "Marcus, I believe the Colemans don't have good intentions. I'm afraid that the reason they invited us to dinner all of a sudden is because...."Marcus smiled as if the situation didn't bother him. "Are you worried they might have ulterior motives? Don't worry. Let's just agree to their invitation. It's just dinner!"Vivian was speechless at Marcus' response. Those people were part of the Colemans.It was clear that they were targeting Marcus. And yet, he was deliberately walking into the lion's den.Although the Colemans held a prestigious position as the top ancient family in Merania, people without a certain status did not qualify to even hear about them. While pregnant, Vivian learned about the Colemans.She began to understand their formidable reputation, especially after learning about their glorious history.Thus, Vivian couldn't help but sigh at the lo

    Shye exuded a murderous killing intent. "Yannis, come with me to the Yallops."Starting today, I, Shye Youd, will be stationed at the Yallops' door every day. I will beat anyone who dares to propose to Yolia to death."Yannis nodded and asked, "Understood, Mr. Youd. What about that bastard?"Shye grunted and said, "A man's revenge is never too late. Compared to Yolia, what does that bastard amount to?"Let's let him live for a while!"Since Shye started guarding the Yallops' door, the number of people coming to propose decreased. Shye chased them away before they could even enter the door.After all, Shye was the second-ranked bachelor in the capital, and no one dared to offend him.Just like that, Shye had guarded the Yallops' door for a month.Finally, the Yallops had peace.…Meanwhile, Marcus continued to spend his time with Vivian every day during the month.

    This also highlighted that Marcus' realm far surpassed that of the Colemans, who claimed to be the top ancient family for a millennium. Alan and the others returned to their line respectfully.Marcus surveyed the group with a serious expression. "The technique I'm about to teach you is a special art of breathing. "Although it looks simple, mastering its essence will take at least a year. "Of course, as elite individuals carefully cultivated by your respective families, I believe you can grasp the basics in just a month."The excitement was evident on the faces of the individuals upon hearing what Marcus said. The commander-in-chief was personally teaching them a special art.It was a big opportunity for those eager to level up. After all, the commander-in-chief was all-powerful and mighty. Any technique he imparted to them was bound to lead to significant progress, even if it was the most basic one.Following that, Marcus began to teach them the special art of breathing.

    The individuals all listened attentively as Marcus began his class. They appeared respectful and eager to learn. Marcus extended four fingers and said, "Before we officially start the lesson, I'd like to give you a lesson in morals. The name of this lesson shall be 'Respect for Teachers and Esteem for Morality.'"Marcus signaled Edwin and Leona to fetch a small blackboard. Marcus held the chalk and wrote the words, "Respect for Teachers and Esteem for Morality." His movements were powerful."Indeed, you all have what it takes to be proud due to your strengths, for you are all invincible in your respective regions. However, you came to Dragon Training Camp to seek breakthroughs and receive guidance at a higher level."Marcus surveyed the crowd and said, "But no matter how strong you all are, you should respect the instructor who guides you."Each of you is exceptionally intelligent. You should know that Chief Commander Wall would not send an incapable person or someone from

    "Yes! He must prove himself. Otherwise, I'm not convinced!""He dares to disregard the Meranian Wolf List top 100. If he can actually demonstrate such abilities, I'll pretend I never heard those words!"As Alan spoke, the others responded in agreement.Chad added, "It might be difficult for him to surpass every member of the Meranian Wolf List top 100, but at least he should have the qualifications to be among them, right?"The group noticed that Marcus remained silent, and their arrogance increased.Zakir was amused. "What's the matter? Are you backing down? In life, you need to follow the rules and not spout nonsense! "Don't act all big if you don't have what it takes!"Just then, Marcus spoke up. "You've all misunderstood. I didn't respond immediately because I was considering how to demonstrate my strength."After all, weaklings like you have never witnessed a true spectacle."To Marcus, these individuals were nothing but weaklings.

    Alan and the others heard what Marcus said, and a playful expression appeared on their faces.How dare this kid challenge them?Alan squinted and said, "You can be our instructor, but you'll have to display enough strength to convince us."You probably can't reach the level of Merania's Four Gunlords and Gary."But you should at least reach the level of the Eight Warriors, right?"The others looked on with a look of expectation.They all looked at Marcus with mocking eyes.Chad, who was on the side, said, "Alan, how about we set a standard for this kid? Only those recognized by the members of the Meranian Wolf List are qualified to be our instructor!""Right!" Alan agreed.Merania's Four Gunlords, Gary, and the Eight Warriors all occupied a place in the Meranian Wolf List.It could be said that the top 100 of the Meranian Wolf List gathered the strongest 100 soldiers in the Meranian military.Being honored on the Meranian Wolf List top 100 was the dream of every Meranian sol
