Clarissa figured that with Marcus and his family's current predicament, he would still consider giving in for his family's sake. And so, she looked forward to seeing him groveling at her feet and begging for forgiveness.

To her surprise, Marcus rejected her without hesitation. "You want me to apologize to you? Fuck off to the furthest planet from here, bitch."

"How dare you still act so obnoxiously!" Clarissa shrieked. "Since you refuse to do as I say, I'll make sure you won't survive in Northfort!"

After hanging up, she went to look for Declan. "Mr. Sommers, I think it'd be good to do a follow-up on yesterday's interview, seeing as it's gone viral. I'm sure it'll make our viewership shoot even higher today."

"That's a good idea. After the interview went live, it's been the talk of Northfort. Our viewership has increased greatly, so I'll give you the green light to go ahead." Declan ran a lecherous gaze over Clarissa's body.

He said lewdly, "There's only one problem. I don't think

    The main point of this announcement was to warn off the cyberbullying and extremist behavior against Tension Incorporated so that the company's operations could continue as usual. Anyone who did anything illegal would be punished severely.The Northfort government had even reminded the public that riot squads would be dispatched to patrol the area and increase security."Damn it!" Clarissa was so mad that she flung the microphone she was still holding."Stop trawling the Internet." Declan walked over. "Tension Incorporated has Phisteele Corporation backing it up, and the Northfort government has high hopes for the former now that the acquisition's completed."I don't think your plan of getting revenge on Marcus through his wife will work.""I can't just give up like this, can I?" Clarissa was indignant. After all, Marcus had yet to come to beg her for forgiveness."We can deal with Marcus later. I have something more important for you to do." Declan smiled and said, "The Northfor

    Meanwhile, Marcus remained in Northfort City Council. He continued checking the documents in the office.Many businesses were attending the Northfort Investment Event. In fact, some foreign companies had also turned up. As such, Marcus had to assess each company carefully to prevent cut-throat competition between companies and stop dummy corporations from getting inside. After all, this event would affect Northfort's economic growth, so it was very important. As such, Marcus couldn't afford to slip up. Marcus' participation in this project was actually planned by the governor of Northfort.If Marcus oversaw the event, those who practiced nepotism would be banned from it.Northfort's economy would definitely improve without those who made use of their connections to reap benefits.When Marcus was in the middle of working, Salem entered the office and poured a cup of tea for him.

    Before Marcus instructed him to do so, the police station chief immediately ordered his subordinates to arrest Clarissa. They handcuffed her and left the place. Meanwhile, Declan trembled at the scene."I'm sorry, Mr. M!" He kept wiping the sweat away from his forehead. Then, Declan quickly added, "I didn't expect Clarissa's character to be like this! We won't show mercy on people who cause trouble for our organization!""To ensure that the interview proceeds normally, I hope you'll allow us to send another reporter in, Mr. M.""It's fine," Marcus replied coldly. "There are many reporters waiting outside, so I won't waste your time again!""You aren't wasting our time!" Delcan waved his hands in response. However, after looking at the other party's cold expression, he fell silent immediately. Declan knew that Marcus was refusing his offer, and accepted Northfort Radio's interview instead. As such, Northfort Radio's reporters were overjoyed, since they didn't have high hope

    Just as Dale finished speaking, Jimmy's phone rang. Once Jimmy checked the caller display, he happily answered the call. "Mr. Gadaway, I'm rushing over to your place now. I think we should discuss the price change in person instead!" Jill said. "Okay." Jimmy smiled. After that, he told Dale, "Mr. Coleman, you're so strategic. You were right! As expected, the bitch has just set off to find me! She'll probably come here tonight!""Mr. Gadaway, what do you think of Jill?" Dale smiled in response. "She has a delicate face and a great body. Moreover, she knows how to dress up trendily. She's so attractive!" Jimmy immediately looked fascinated. "Even if fucking that bitch once takes away ten years of my life, I'd still do it!" Although he lusted after Jill, he didn't dare to do anything to her previously because of her position in Phisteele Corporation."Mr. Gadaway, if you're willing to trust me, I promise that you'll be able to fuck her tonight!" Dale said. "Is that true

    Jill shook her head. "When I first interacted with him, I thought that he was a little irritating. Yet, he was never this bold before! After all, I'm Phisteele Corporation's vice president! Even if he didn't fear me, he'd still fear our company!""Something seems fishy!" Marcus narrowed his eyes instinctively. Just then, several muscular men rushed into the room. They surrounded Marcus and Jill. "What are you trying to do, Mr. Gadaway?" Jill asked furiously. "Ms. Black, these men are expert fighters from the capital. Although your chauffeur has excellent drinking skills, he might not be able to defeat them!"Jimmy added smugly, "You must agree to my request now!""They're expert fighters from the capital?" Marcus thought for a while and pretended to look fearful. "I'm so scared!""Ms. Black, why don't you agree to Mr. Gadaway's request? We must think about our company's future!"He continued, "Mr. Gadaway, you must've planned everything in advance, so the room should be re

    "Sure!" Meanwhile, Dale snapped his fingers and grinned lewdly. "I'll prepare it for you immediately!" Then, he called Jimmy. Alas, the other party had switched off his phone. "What happened?" Bray asked. "Mr. Gadaway must be enjoying his time with Ms. Black, so he switched off his phone to avoid disturbances from me!" Dale thought to himself.He said, "I'll message him, and ask him to send a video of Jill and him later on.""We should visit Mr. Steele from Phisteele Corporation now!""After ruining Phisteele Corporation, Marcus will continue being a useless fellow again!" Bray agreed with a nod. As such, Dale and Bray headed over to Phisteele Corporation and looked for Elijah. "What? Are you threatening to expose an intimate video of Mr. Gadaway and Ms. Black?"After hearing their threats, Elijah became amused. Marcus had informed Elijah about the night's events before Dale and Bray arrived. As such, Elijah already knew everything.As expected, the two men visited

    At Forme Corporation in Northfort, Bray walked in and said to Dale excitedly, "Son, good news. The scout has returned and said the supplier will be sending their first batch of goods to Phisteele Corporation. We also have their transport route.""Great!" Dale said excitedly while nodding. "I will inform Demon to take action immediately."Demon quickly gathered his men after receiving Dale's notice. After all, Dale had offered him a million dollars as a reward."Everyone! This is a huge one. Let's give our best! Our sponsor said the aim is to shock them. It's fine even if we act a little violently and cripple a few of their men," Demon said with an evil grin. After giving his briefing, Demon departed with his subordinates with two Ford trucks.According to Dale's transport route, Demon chose to wait near the road between two counties.Since this was the border of the counties, the road was narrow with mountains surrounding it. There were not many residents and the environment was

    After dealing with Demon and his men, the convoy with the equipment continued on its way without any interruptions.Bray and Dale came to Phisteele Corporation again."Both of you are visiting here quite frequently," Elijah remarked. "What? Are you going to show my raunchy videos this time?""Mr. Steele, I'll be straightforward," Bray said without beating the bush. "We know Phisteele Corporation has a shipment of equipment arriving today. After all, the orders for Phisteele Corporation are crucial. However, I'm afraid you will never see the equipment again.Elijah smiled and asked, "Why?""Because we've intercepted the convoy," Bray said."So?" Elijah shrugged."As long as you agree to our conditions, we can guarantee that we will return every piece of equipment to you," Bray answered."Sell half of Phisteele Corporation's stocks to you for 100 million dollars?" Elijah shook his head and said, "Why would anyone come up with such a humiliating condition? Phisteele Corporation is

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    "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.

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.

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
