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
Zenith's students were extremely loyal to him. Once his orders were sent out, everyone immediately gathered at the capital. After all, Zenith was the most influential person in that place. He had many students in different areas of Merania apart from the Four Guardians and Tenson.In fact, his mentees ranged from those involved in the underground business to people who held government positions. Moreover, he had many impressive students from other states in the country. Soon, all of Zenith's students gathered together. Within a day, his 20 thousand mentees had rushed to the capital. Meanwhile, the capital's aristocrats became afraid when they saw such a large gathering. All of them avoided going out because they were fearful of being implicated in this matter. After all, this was the largest gathering of Zenith's students in 50 years.As such, something major was bound to happen.In fact, the government turned a blind eye to this gathering as well. They weren't as powe
"Let them in!" Zenith commanded. Yet, the people from Phisteele Corporation didn't enter the house. As such, he told Qelan, "Go outside and check the situation for me, Qelan.""Yes sir!" Qelan nodded and headed out.When Qelan came back, he looked extremely uncomfortable. "Well?" Zenith asked. "Have the two women arrived?"Qelan's lips twitched. Finally, he said, "Sir, you should check it out for yourself.""What?" Zenith was confused. He snorted coldly and walked out. There were four muscular men in the crowd. They carried a black coffin, which seemed out of place at the wake."Where are the two women?" Zenith frowned. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jahn Senior. We didn't bring any women with us," A muscular man standing at the front replied cheerily. He added, "However, our secret boss has told us to send you a coffin to express his condolences for the deaths of your students and foster son.""Is he that scared of us?" Zenith laughed coldly. "He knew that there was a funeral here,
"Of course!"The place was filled with cheers. Soon, Jonathan and his men noticed the commotion."What happened?" the former asked curiously. "Does Gary have a mission today?"The chief of defense shook his head. "I don't know either! According to the schedule, there are no missions for the special forces today!"Then, Jonathan walked out of the command center and observed the scene. Though the special forces were few in number, they radiated an extremely powerful aura at that moment.Since they were the trump cards in Northfort's military region, their fighting skills were second to none. Anyone from the special forces could defeat a hundred soldiers by themselves. To his surprise, Jonathan realized that Gary had prepared horses for those in the special forces. They were like ancient soldiers preparing for battle. "Although our commander-in-chief ordered us to carry out this mission, we still have to avoid arousing the public's suspicion. So, we can't use firearms. We'l
"This man looks pretty capable. Let me fight him instead," Disaster told Qelan. The latter nodded and retreated. Qelan had faith in Disaster's abilities. After all, he had not met a worthy opponent after dominating the capital for thirty years. Gale, Hurricane, and Plague couldn't defeat Disaster even if they fought him together. "I like challenges." Meanwhile, Oliver had also felt the murderous aura coming from Disaster. The two approached each other at the same time. Once they were three steps away from each other, they stopped simultaneously. "I'll kill you within three moves!" Disaster said while staring at Oliver. Hearing this, Qelan was stunned. He knew Disaster well. The latter could kill his opponents in one move. By saying that he could kill Oliver within three moves, it meant that he knew the other party was extremely powerful. "Even so, will he be able to defeat Disaster?" Qelan thought confidently. Just then, Oliver smirked. He casually replied, "I
Zenith seemed to disappear overnight. Even though the members of the public didn't know about the battle, every aristocrat from the capital knew that Zenith was defeated after provoking a very powerful person. After all, he had managed to assemble 20 thousand people in one day and caused a big commotion in the area. This had obviously angered someone very important. So, no one dared to take any action even though the capital's most impressive person had passed away. Every wealthy family was on their guard and simply watched from the sidelines. In the meantime, since Zenith had died, those who depended on him also collapsed as well. Many bosses in the underground society near Northfort had also been changed. In fact, the government was also affected. A lot of corrupt officials who had connections with Zenith were discovered. The entire state's atmosphere seemed to change in the blink of an eye. "I didn't expect this!"Meanwhile, Elijah was talking to Marcus in the p
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
