Bray and Dale started laying their plans after returning from Prudence County. After all, Zenith, who'd been living in seclusion for the past 50 years, had agreed to make an appearance. He would even deal with Phisteele Corporation personally!With such a powerful force backing them up, Bray and Dale couldn't just laze around. That was why they got to work immediately upon returning to Northfort.Before Zenith arrived in Northfort, they wouldn't dare lay a finger on Phisteele Corporation. Instead, they set their sights on Tension Incorporated, which Phisteele Corporation had invested in. It was partly also because Vivian was the chairman of Tension Inc.They vowed to take over Tension Inc.'s entertainment wing. Because of this, Marc Warburg, who had millions of fans, caught their attention.In the private room of a high-end restaurant, Dale shook his head, pretending to look sorry on Marc's behalf. He said, "You have millions of fans, Marc, and you're the hottest celebrity right no
Rodney glanced at the students behind Vivian. In terms of their looks alone, they weren't half bad. The guys were handsome, and the ladies were pretty. It just so happened the ten films still needed some actors for the side characters."Alright, then." Rodney nodded. "I guess that's all we can do for now. But I do have to ask you to bear with Marc, Ms. Lorimer. He is our male lead, after all.""I'll deal with Marc," Vivian said. "We can't delay the filming, so have the director assign these students some roles."And so, Rodney brought the students to the director. The director decided to do as Vivian said and proceed to film the scenes with the side characters.The students had strong foundations in acting, and this was their first time meeting a director with the caliber to shoot ten films at the same time. They were all excited and gave their best during the filming.They generally managed to complete the filming for their scenes with a single take. This pleased the director."
When Jenn saw the look Marc secretly gave her, she understood that he was about to cause a scene. So, she stepped forward and said, "You guys are so unprofessional to disrespect Marc like this. I'm disappointed in you, so I'm gonna join Marc on strike!"When the rest of the actors who'd been present at the dinner with Bray and Dale saw this, they immediately understood what was happening. They quickly agreed with Marc and Jenn, claiming that they, too, were going on strike.The director was stunned by this. If one or two actors were to go on strike, the filming could still go on. But now that they were all going on strike together, he couldn't help thinking it was a premeditated move.They had ten films to film. What the hell was he going to film if he didn't have any actors?The director panicked. He said appeasingly, "This is all a misunderstanding, Marc! How about I have these students apologize to you? I'm sure we can settle this the easy way. You're the male lead for ten films
After all, Courtney and Gareth had both come from the country, and their families were middle-class at best. Their parents had saved every nickel and penny to get them through Northfort Film Academy.This was all in the hopes that they would one day become famous and change their fates.To them, getting the chance to replace Marc and Jenn as the leads in ten films was an incredible way to kick off their careers.Because of the sudden change in lead actors, all the scenes that had been filmed earlier had to be scrapped and refilmed. Fortunately, Marc wasn't the best actor. In fact, he was terrible. The director didn't feel bad about scrapping everything he'd filmed at all.With Courtney and Gareth now taking on the lead roles, filming went exceedingly well. Firstly, they were both rookies and naturally went along with everything the director said.Secondly, they'd both been professionally trained and had plenty of theoretical knowledge. They quickly adapted to their characters.Th
Tension Pictures was releasing ten films, and Forme Entertainment was doing the same. Was Dale joking?After all, film production was something that burned holes in one's pocket. Aside from finding the right actors, one also had to make sure they had the right director and a good script. No film would succeed without any of these."So, you've already been wanting to enter the film industry, Mr. Coleman. We'll gladly lend Forme Entertainment a hand!" Marc said. He was excited at the mere thought of Dale promising to pay him 100 million dollars for every film he was in.Ten films meant he'd be earning a billion dollars! Certain films didn't even generate that much revenue.Jenn and the other actors were also quick to volunteer themselves."Yes, you're right." Dale nodded. "Forme Entertainment is ready to make its entrance into the film industry. It's too bad this is only the first step. I may have found the perfect actors, but that's far from enough."We don't even have the scripts
The media saw an opportunity to spread the news everywhere and took it. This, coupled with Marc's fans' retaliation, made an issue between Marc and Tension Pictures turn into a soap opera. It became the hottest topic in the entertainment industry.The fact that Rufus and the two other renowned scriptwriters had suddenly jumped ship to Forme Entertainment added fuel to the fire. It made the public think Tension Pictures must've done something wrong to deserve this exodus.Soon enough, Tension Pictures became the target of everyone's mockery and insults.As things escalated, Marcus contacted Murray. "Are there any renowned scriptwriters affiliated with the Pantheon of the Drakon?""Of course!" Murray answered. "Ciel Entertainment, which belongs to Mr. Yannis Tiller, has an army of Merania's top directors, actors, and scriptwriters. Famous directors like Cyril Prescott and Horace Goode are signed to Ciel Entertainment.""What?" Marcus was astonished to hear this. Cyril and Horace wer
Tension Pictures sped up filming for the five web blockbusters. After all, they were approaching the release date indicated in their promotion of the films.Now that they had the perfect scripts in hand, it was time to test the director's and actors' skills.Though Ciel Entertainment had no shortage of renowned directors and actors, none of them were suited to film web blockbusters. Using skilled rookies would be the best way to achieve their desired results.Fortunately, the director was a pro, and Courtney and Gareth didn't disappoint. They worked for as long as their bodies could handle it, using every ounce of skill they had to bring the scripts to life.At the same time, Tension Pictures announced that it had resumed filming for the web blockbusters. It was just that they'd slashed the number of films from ten to five.This was announced during a press conference. A reporter asked, "Ms. Lorimer, the ten films that Tension Pictures invested a huge sum into have been slashed to
"Yes, exactly!" Marc nodded vigorously at Dale's words.Dale glanced at him, then said, "But those tickets aren't gonna sell themselves while you get drunk in a bar. Tension Pictures' first film is gonna premiere soon, and we can't lose to them."That's why I intend to have the first of our ten films premiere on the same day as Tension Pictures'!""What?" Marc looked like he was in a bind. "But filming has yet to wrap up.""That's not an issue." Dale smiled. "We can just use the footage you filmed while under Tension Pictures. All you need to do is work a little harder over the next few days to get the rest done. There's only one thing I want—to have the premiere on the same day as Tension Pictures!"Seeing how serious Dale looked, Marc had no choice but to agree. "Alright, Mr. Coleman. I'll get it done!"He was reluctant to comply, but Dale was paying him a billion dollars for the ten films. This was also the Coleman family from Prudence County he was dealing with. He couldn't a
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
