The next day, Dale headed to Forme Corporation for work as usual. When he arrived at his office, he saw a box on the table. On it was written, "For Dale Coleman's eyes only."Dale summoned his secretary and asked, "Who did this come from?"The secretary said, "A courier guy dropped it off. He said an old friend of yours asked him to bring it over. I figured that since it was from an old friend, you'd want to see it yourself. That's why I placed it on your desk.""An old friend?" Dale looked puzzled."Yeah." The secretary nodded. "He said you would understand once you opened the box."And so, Dale opened the box. When he saw a gleaming dagger inside, he was shocked. "What the hell is this?"There was a note under the dagger. It read, "The anniversary of George's death is in three days. I'll be waiting for you."Dale's expression shifted noticeably when he read the note. He immediately sought Bray out."We've been so busy dealing with Tension Pictures lately that I forgot all abo
Tenson couldn't help feeling excited when he heard Zenith wanted him to try his hand at Northfort. He'd been by Zenith's side for the past 50 years while Zenith cultivated in seclusion. It'd been ages since he'd left the mountain, and he wanted to take this opportunity for freedom.Zenith said, "Phisteele Corporation isn't one to be underestimated if it could gain control of Northfort in such a short time. I'll have Gale, Tsunami, and Plague accompany Tenson."The fact that he was sending three out of his Four Guardians ahead of him to Northfort was enough to show his determination to eradicate Phisteele Corporation.Tenson was even more excited by this. The Four Guardians were known for being second only to Zenith. With three out of the four by his side, he could do whatever he wanted in Northfort!"Mr. Jahn Senior, we'll gladly lead Mr. Jahn Junior to Northfort," Bray said. Dale nodded in agreement.After all, the anniversary of George's death was in three days. They were genu
At this moment, the Betelgeuse family had no idea that danger was approaching. Wade and his family had become a lot more low-profile since the incident with Woody. Everything they did now was in accordance with what Phisteele Corporation allowed.Still, this was a blessing in disguise for Wade. He had plenty of time to watch over Woody now. Before this, Woody had caused trouble everywhere because of his powerful family.Though Wade could easily settle the issues, Woody's antics had still disgraced the Betelgeuse family. Wade had taken advantage of Woody's incapacitation to find him a wife.Though Woody was no different from a cripple, he was still the son of the president of the Northfort Chamber of Commerce. It had been easy enough getting him married. Woody was much happier with a wife around, which made the Betelgeuse family happier as a whole.This night was the night of the Betelgeuse family's weekly dinner. Wade's son, three daughters, and members of the extended family were
Gale immediately got what he meant and walked over to Stanley's wife. He grabbed her fork and stabbed her in the throat without the slightest hesitation. This made the Betelgeuse family tremble even more.Tenson said indifferently, "That's what happens when people disobey me. Have we all learned our lesson?"No one dared to make a sound."Since we have …" Tenson glanced at the other women and pointed at them like he was picking things off a menu. "You, you, you, and you, come sit by me."The first woman Tenson picked was Woody's newlywed wife, Adeline Wickett. She became ashen when Tenson pointed at her. She turned to Woody, looking pleading. "Honey, save me!"Woody turned to Wade. "Dad, save Adeline!"But all Wade did was sigh and stomp his foot helplessly."I'll give you 30 seconds," Tenson said leisurely. "If none of the women I've picked move to sit next to me within those 30 seconds, you know what's gonna happen."At his words, the women all stood up. Woody watched as Adel
At this moment, Courtney was at home going over the day's filming. As one of the two rookies that Tension Pictures was currently promoting, Gareth had let the fame go to his head.He no longer cared about refining his skills and attended commercial events everywhere despite Tension Pictures' orders not to.Courtney kept a much lower profile than him. She was grateful to Tension Pictures for helping her become famous and knew very well that she had much to learn in terms of acting.This was where she and Gareth disagreed, and they'd broken up. But it didn't matter to Gareth any more. Now that he was famous, there were plenty of women throwing themselves at him without Courtney by his side.As Courtney focused on reviewing the scenes she'd filmed that day, the door suddenly slammed open. Gale, who was burly and menacing, appeared before her eyes.He asked Dale, "Is she Courtney Paulsen?""Yeah." Dale nodded. "She's that actress who's recently shot to fame."Courtney looked terrifi
Vivian said, "Jill's a workaholic. She's close to 30 yet still single. After getting off work every day, she'll lock herself up at home to continue working. She won't sleep before midnight."It's only 10:00 pm now, yet the lights in her home are already off. It's not like her at all!""Exactly." Marcus nodded. "From there, we can deduce that something's happened to her.""She could be on a date, for all we know." Vivian thought about it. "She's mentioned several times that she wants to woo Phisteele Corporation's secret boss. Since she's the company's vice president, there's a high chance she'll get to meet him."Maybe they're having fun with each other now!""That's some imagination you've got there," Marcus joked. "Don't worry. There's no way they could be on a date now.""How are you so sure?" Vivian looked surprised.Marcus was the secret boss. How could he not be sure? He came up with an excuse and said, "The secret boss has gone on a business trip for some personal matters
Just then, everyone looked at the entrance. They saw Marcus leaning against a big tree. He smoked leisurely and said, "Where did you come from? I'm pretty sure that the Betelgeuse family prohibits strangers from entering their residence."When Dale saw Marcus, he became excited, because he didn't expect the latter to come just as he was searching for him.Meanwhile, Tenson had also noticed Marcus and Oliver.He averted his attention from Courtney and Jill temporarily. Then, Tenson walked out of the house and looked at Marcus and Oliver. He frowned. "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here?"Dale hurriedly introduced them to Tenson, "Mr. Jahn Junior, the person smoking is Marcus, whom I've mentioned to you before."He's the husband of Tension Incorporated's president, Vivian!""I see!" Tenson smiled. He added, "You should remain here forever then.""I think you should remain here forever instead," Marcus replied coldly. "You're Tenson Jahn, right?"Marcus continued, "Thou
Meanwhile, Courtney was extremely grateful to Marcus. A month ago, she was just a graduate worrying about her job prospects.Now, she was an Internet-famous actress. As such, she felt thankful that Marcus had selected her, brought her to Phisteele Corporation, and even recommended her to Tension Pictures. If not for him, Courtney would still be an unknown actress.Moreover, Marcus also rescued her that night. On the other hand, Marcus didn't realize the change in Courtney's gaze when she looked at him.However, Jill had noticed the subtle change in the other woman's behavior. After all, she was a woman as well, so she understood Courtney well.This made her feel somewhat threatened. At the same time, Zenith was at the luxurious Jahn residence in the capital. He was dressed in white and had let his white hair down. He sat inside a tearoom and gracefully drank some tea, looking unbothered by worldly affairs. Meanwhile, Disaster, who looked pretty ordinary, stood behi
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
