Marcus was stunned as he was being driven away.He deemed Jill cruel considering the fact that he was paying for the meal.Vivian tried to smooth things over. "Marcus, Jill has always been this way since she was young. It has been years since we last saw each other. It's kinda inconvenient to have you around. You can grab something to eat outside. You don't have to pick us up. We can return home ourselves.""Okay, honey," he replied.Since Vivian had spoken up, he would naturally listen to her.He walked out of Fated Lilliput Restaurant, but he didn't leave the area.Instead, he decided to wander around the streets.Then, he would drive the ladies home once it was almost time.The night street view in Northfort was not bad.Everything seemed so peaceful with the crowds flocking the streets.It was a rare chance for him to enjoy such a tranquil moment.Marcus was strolling while thinking about his future plans.Phisteele Corporation was developing well in Northfort. After Wa
Marcus felt that it was almost time to return home, so he headed to Fated Lilliput Restaurant.Vivian and Jill happened to come out of the restaurant.Vivian was slightly surprised to see him. "Marcus, you're still here."He responded, "Yeah. It's late, and it's quite dangerous for you guys to return home alone."That changed Jill's impression of him a little. "You're not that bad after all."She thought, "It's a pity that he's a good-for-nothing. Otherwise, he seems to be a decent man for Vivian."Marcus drove them to Imperial No. 1."Right, I have an interview at Phisteele Corporation, so wake me up early tomorrow. Once I'm officially working there, I will move to Imperial No.2. I bought it before I returned to the country," Jill instructed him without a care."Uh-huh. You're already a grown-up and yet you need someone to wake you up? Besides, I'm a man. Won't that be inappropriate?" Marcus replied helplessly.She retorted, "It's no wonder you can only be a matrilocal son-in
"But there are several interviewees after Jill. Shouldn't we give them a chance?" Although Elijah didn't know much about business management, he was aware that he shouldn't miss out on any talents.Marcus shook his head. "No. To me, Jill is the best candidate for this position. With her around, you basically have nothing to worry about the company. As for the remaining interviewees, you can interview them for other positions.""Got it." Elijah nodded.After receiving an order from Marcus, Elijah told Jill, "Ms. Black, this is the end of the interview. Congratulations, you're appointed to be our vice president. Please come to the presidential office in ten minutes.""I passed the interview just like this?" Jill had expected herself to pass the interview but not as quickly as this.After the interview for the vice president had ended, Elijah could stay out of the rest of the interview.Thus, Marcus called Elijah to the presidential office.Elijah needed to prepare for the transiti
After Jill left, Marcus came out of the hidden room in the presidential office.He grinned. "How was it, Eli? Are you satisfied with the vice president I selected for you?""She's not bad." Elijah nodded. "I won't need to worry about a lot of things with her around. I might not need to come to work often either."Marcus smiled helplessly as he figured that appointing Elijah as the president was putting him in a tough spot.Marcus left the presidential office and headed to the entrance, waiting for Jill.He chuckled when he noticed her. "Has your wish come true?""Of course." She was in a good mood. "Help me move my things to my place. Since I've secured a job, it's time to move into Imperial No.2.""Okay." Marcus nodded.He had no choice but to help her out since she was Vivian's best friend.When they returned to Imperial No.1, he was dumbfounded. Jill only brought along one piece of luggage when she came. However, it took her a whole day to fill the living room of Imperial
"You've got the guts to say that, huh?" Emma was amused by Marcus. "I've debuted for a long time, and no one has ever spoken to me like that."At that moment, her male assistant whispered into her ear. She said, "Fine. Since the live stream is paused for the moment. What's with the holdup? Punch him! My fans can't see it anyway."The four men, who were lifting the wooden chair, surrounded Marcus while cracking their knuckles. Emma sat on the wooden chair, eating snacks while waiting for the show to begin.Before they began punching Marcus, she threw the snacks away.She was going to eat the piece of food in her hand, but she suddenly froze.She never expected her powerful bodyguards to fail their mission!Emma wasn't able to see how Marcus did that. He took all of the bodyguards down. They couldn't get up to their feet!Marcus was approaching her, and her male assistant blocked his way. The male assistant spread his arms wide and could barely stand with his wobbly legs.
"Emma, do you know that you have to pay a staggering amount of money in compensation for terminating the contract one-sidedly?" Jill asked furiously."What do you mean that it's a one-sided termination? Right now, it's your employee that has slandered Emma. He even said that he could represent Phisteele Corporation to terminate the contract. "And now you're demanding compensation? How funny. I'm telling you, we will never back down unless that brat apologizes to Emma sincerely."Emma's agency's unyielding stance was putting Jill in a tough spot. The male assistant simply hung up the call as he was wearing a smug expression. "Do I have to remind them how much Emma's net worth is? She's not someone a small fry can mess with."Emma smiled. "Speaking of that, I should be grateful to that security guard called Marcus. I thought I was going to lose some followers after admitting my mistake on the livestream. "Who knew that I was going to be showered with compliments? The number of m
Jill was on edge.Those influencers and celebrities obviously wished to terminate their contracts because of Emma's incident.It seemed like Emma was quite prominent in that line of work.Due to this, Phisteele Corporation's reputation hit rock bottom.Its latest product—the latest super auxiliary medical device—wasn't well-received in the market.Clients who had made bulk orders a few days ago contacted them to cancel the orders.Jill, who became the vice president not long ago, was driven into a corner because of this. If she couldn't stave it off, the latest super auxiliary medical device would be a fiasco.The large investment made would go down the drain.She was very frustrated that she couldn't do anything to Marcus, the cause of the series of events."Marcus, you're suspended for a week." Although Jill couldn't fire him, she could suspend him.Right now, she didn't want to see him at all. Out of sight; out of mind."Alright. I don't have a problem with it. I'm ab
Since both Vivian and Jill were still infuriated at the moment, Marcus decided to crash at Phisteele Corporation instead of returning home.After all, Elijah's presidential office was spacious enough to house all the necessities. Staying there was as good as staying at a five-star hotel.Elijah didn't leave the company."Have you confirmed the time Father Johnny's flight is going to land tomorrow?" Marcus asked.Elijah nodded. "Yes, sir. It's 10:00 am. He will show up on time at Northfort Airport. I believe that it'll be big news that he's coming over here."Actually, Marcus was the person who invited Father Johnny over. Despite not knowing much about business, Elijah could guess the reason behind the invitation.Elijah chuckled. "Jill is like a cat on hot bricks these days. I am worried about her. I thought you were testing her. I didn't know that you've made early preparations. Celebrities and influencers like Emma are nothing compared to Father Johnny."Marcus said, "That's
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
Marcus and Vivian left.Alan and the others slumped in their seats and panted heavily. Alan's back was soaked in sweat.The others weren't faring much better. 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. As for Jill, she was responsible for managing Phisteele Corporation and Tension Incorporated. Jill was a cap
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. Despite being invincible in their res
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
