"Wait a second …" Luna couldn't help feeling Marcus' back looked familiar, now that Steven had mentioned it. "I'm not gonna lie, he really does!""Don't tell me Marcus really is the commander-in-chief!" Steven was taken aback by this thought."What are you on about?" Luna glared at him. "You know how worthless Marcus is. What else can he do aside from leech off Vivian? If he's the commander-in-chief, pigs can fly!""Yeah, you're right." Steven calmed down. "Maybe they just look alike. Or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.""Something must be wrong with your eyesight," Luna said firmly. "Comparing Marcus with the commander-in-chief is an insult to the latter. We're in the Northfort military region, so you'd better watch what you say. Don't cause trouble for Heath!""Yes, yes, of course!" Steven wiped the cold sweat that had beaded on his forehead.Marcus entered the Northfort military region's command center with Elijah by his side. He asked Jonathan, "Is everything ready?"
Steven and Luna lost interest in making fun of Marcus and the others when they saw this. They quickly carried Heath, who'd fainted again, home.They didn't dare to tell Norman and Shirley the truth. Instead, they lied and said Heath was on a break. The rest of the family continued to sing Heath's praises.After all, Mike and Matilda had Zeke as their son-in-law. To the Childe family, Zeke was a member of the commander-in-chief's personal troops. Since Heath had managed to get into the boot camp, they couldn't let anyone know about him getting kicked out. He couldn't lose to Zeke.A few days later, Zeke had a break. He returned to the Childe residence for a short stay. Norman and Shirley were pleased to see him and had the rest of the family gather for a meal.It wasn't every day that the Childe family had both Zeke and Heath at home. Howard and Brad were already thinking of ways to suck up to them; Marcus and the others had yet to arrive."I'm really envious of you for getting int
"You guys must've faked it somehow!" Lincoln couldn't wrap his mind around it."That's enough!" Shirley slammed a hand on the table and stood up. She roared, "You just can't accept that others are better than you because you're worthless!""Exactly!" Luna pipped up. "One of you's a gambler and the other's a loser. How could you possibly have anything nice to say?"How could she call Marcus a loser? Heath's nerves were frayed when he heard this. Unfortunately, he couldn't say a word. The mental stress got to him again, and he fainted once more.This time, everyone panicked. After all, they thought it was all thanks to him that the Childe family was on the list of invitees.The lively gathering had been ruined because of this matter. Norman and Shirley blacklisted Lisa and her family, forbidding them from stepping foot in the Childe residence for a month.It wasn't the best outcome, but Vivian could take this opportunity to focus her attention and energy on setting up her company.
"Is that how you treat regular citizens?" The staff's arrogance incensed Marcus further. "Anyway, you don't need to bother about who I am. I'm not gonna let this matter slide. I'd like to see whether Merania's citizens mean nothing to civil servants when compared to foreigners!""Well said, Marcus!" Even Lisa, who usually looked down on Marcus, looked approving."Man, you make it sound like you're my boss." The staff sneered. "Stop making yourself out to be some big shot when you're not. If you really were someone important, why would your mother-in-law need to wait in line to get some documents stamped?""So, you're saying the family members of important officials can enjoy special privileges? And so can foreigners? Who's brainwashed you guys to think like that?" Marcus pulled his phone out. "I'm not gonna waste my time on you. I'll have your boss speak to you.""The hell?" The staff couldn't help snickering when he saw this. "Are you actually gonna call my boss or something? He's
"Don't worry," Davy said confidently. "As long as I can remain in Merania, I can get an endless stream of money just by being a foreigner. After all, you know how these Meranians think we're like gods.""True." Lewis nodded. "It's easy to deal with the deportation, to be honest. I know Marius Patterson's son. As long as he's willing to help, he can deal with the deportation in a matter of seconds.""That's great!" Davy looked excited. He had full confidence in Marius' abilities. Then, his expression turned menacing as he gritted his teeth. "I can't let the motherfucker who got me into this situation off, though. No one's ever treated me like this since I arrived in Merania!"He stormed into his bedroom and came out with a thick stack of cash. He handed it to Lewis and said, "You know I won't make you do this for nothing, Lewis.""Now, we're talking!" Lewis' eyes lit up at the money. He put the cash into his pocket and said, "Consider it done, my man!"Thanks to the money, Lewis wa
"Hey, did you get the job done?"Lewis asked a truck driver who came to report the situation inside an abandoned factory."I've confirmed it. Even if she's not dead, she will be crippled," the truck driver nodded and said."Great!" Lewis took out a stack of cash and handed it to the truck driver. "This is your reward. Use the money and go enjoy life in another city.""Thank you, Mr. Lewis!" The truck driver was full of joy after receiving the money. "Sure, Mr. Lewis! I'll leave Northfort immediately!"As the truck driver was walking outside, Lewis threw a dart that hit the truck driver's back. The truck driver fell and bled to death."Lewis, why did you kill him?" Davy was shocked."Dead men tell no tales," Lewis said calmly.Meanwhile, Marcus just drove past a traffic light. He received a call from Vivian and answered it. However, no one was speaking on the other end."Did something happen?" Marcus frowned. He turned the car around and rushed toward Vivian.Coincidentally, h
"That's absurd!" Damian was trembling with rage. "How dare you kill my friend in front of me? Are you looking down on the Patterson family?"Ten bodyguards came rushing into the room and surrounded Marcus."What?" Marcus squinted his eyes. "Are you trying to defend these foreigners?""They are my friends!" Damian shouted."Mr. Patterson, I think you should thank me." Marcus said calmly, "Your so-called friends were enjoying a lavish life because they looked like foreigners. However, they were homeless people back in their own country. If I had not stepped in and gotten rid of these scammers, I wonder how long they would keep lying to you.""What?" Damian was shocked when he heard what Marcus said. "You're full of lies!""Mr. Patterson, you are Mr. Patterson Senior's son after all. Did you not check these people's backgrounds before you befriended them?" Marcus smirked.Damian snapped his fingers. Someone approached him and said politely, "Mr. Patterson, what are your orders?""
At the Sundale Group Northfort Region Headquarters, Desmond Watson, the regional director, received a call from Marius and obeyed everything Marius said.When the call ended, Zane was excited. He said to Zane Parkinson, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, "Mr. Parkinson, this is great news!""Tell me about it!" Zane said lazily.Zane was the youngest son of Sundale Group's CEO. Although he was 40 years old, he was still incompetent. His father sent him to Northfort to work in the regional headquarters to nurture him, but Zane never acted like he was Desmond's subordinate because of his identity.Desmond knew Zane's position in the company was just for show. That was why Desmond still treated Zane as his superior to gain favor because Zane might be the next in line for the CEO position."Mr. Patterson Senior said he will become our customer if we cancel our partnership with V Corporation. With Mr. Patterson Senior supporting us, we'll be able to expand Sundale Group's influence i
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
