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

    After ending the call with Elijah, Marcus went to look for Vivian. However, he was informed by her secretary that she was discussing something with an important client. If they collaborated, Tension Incorporated's economic growth would be improved tremendously. Marcus thought, "Since the client is important, I'll wait for her."Then, he went to the president's office with Vivian's secretary to wait for her. After arriving at the place, he discovered that two men were inside. They were looking at a porcelain vase in a cabinet and were engaged in an enthusiastic discussion. "Are they from Marie Isla?" Marcus wondered. He frowned slightly. Since he was the head of the Pantheon of the Drakon, he had to learn at least 15 languages in the world.So, Marcus recognized their language, which came from Marie Isla. "I'm sorry, Mr. Coleman." Vivian's secretary instantly looked apologetic. "I forgot to inform you that those two are from the important client's entourage. We actually prep

    However, Marcus stopped Shiloh and Zalori just before they left Tension Incorporated. "Hey, wait a minute!"Zalori's heart almost skipped a beat. He said anxiously, "Shiloh, is that fellow going to change his mind now?""I don't think so." Shiloh shook his head. "Even if he regrets giving the porcelain vase to us, we've already paid him. What can he do to us now that we have it?He added, "Let's see what he wants, alright?"Then, the two men stopped walking. Marcus caught up to them and smiled. "I'm so sorry, sirs. I just remembered that my father-in-law likes this vase too. Yesterday, he told me to give it to him so he could look at it today. So …""So, are you going to change your mind?" Then, Shiloh's expression turned cold. "I'm sure you know that we've paid for the porcelain vase already, so it belongs to us now.""I understand," Marcus replied with a nod. "However, I can return the ten thousand dollars back, and give you an additional sum of money to apologize for this.

    When Courtney saw Gareth looking down on Marcus, she hurriedly spoke up. "Gareth, what are you doing? If Mr. Coleman hadn't brought you to Tension Incorporated, would we be this accomplished now?"Evidently, Courtney was more grateful for the opportunity than Gareth. Alas, when Gareth heard Courtney's words, he snorted disdainfully. "It's true that Marcus scouted us. I'm extremely thankful for that and will remember his help forever."However, a person's success isn't determined by their connections. It's determined by their hard work instead. Think about it. If I wasn't that hard-working and talented, I might not have succeeded, even if Cyril was the one who scouted me instead!"Courtney was speechless after hearing Gareth's reply. She felt that something was wrong with his logic, but couldn't figure out what felt amiss. "You're so eloquent!" Marcus laughed coldly. He continued, "You're getting very arrogant now! I must have been blind to scout you back then!"Marcus didn'

    After leaving the conference room, Gareth still looked very frustrated. He felt that Marcus had deliberately prevented him from making more money. "The insider news must be bullshit!" Gareth, Courtney, Conan, Colette, and Mona gathered together. Meanwhile, Gareth continued ranting about Marcus. "He's just the head of security for Phisteele Corporation. To be frank, Marcus is just a security guard, so what confidential information would he know?"How could Vivian and the others trust him so much? Think about it. Zayclon Corporation is an international company. Even if they really laundered Zenith's assets, why would Marcus let us know about it? We're just ordinary people!""You're right!" the others nodded in agreement. However, Courtney disagreed with him. "Why would Mr. Coleman harm us?"If he's trying to block our career opportunities, he wouldn't have scouted us and brought us to Tension Incorporated in the first place.""Do you really think that Marcus is a good person?"

    Gareth was afraid that his actions would backfire on him instead. Moreover, Zayclon Corporation was a large company, so they could easily kill off someone who knew their secrets. "Haha!" When Winslow saw the nervous look on Gareth's face, he laughed and patted the other man's shoulder. He said, "Mr. Beck, don't panic. Zayclon Corporation is an international company, not a ruthless terrorist group. So, you don't have to fear for your safety."You're a righteous person because you informed us about this, Mr. Beck! Also, the rumors about Zayclon Corporation laundering Zenith's assets are false!"Winslow continued, "The truth was that after Zenith passed away, he left 100 billion dollars behind because he was the richest tycoon in the capital. That money was stolen from others, so it didn't belong to anyone else."The capital's government gave us all of Zenith's assets because they trusted us. They wanted our company to contribute to the state's economy and to donate some of it to c

    The muscular man at the front looked at Zalori. Then, the former took the bank card from him and told the receptionist, "Swipe his card!"The receptionist swiped Zalori's card, then shook her head. "Big Boss, there's no money in this card!""What?" The muscular man frowned. "That's not possible!" Hearing this, Zalori hurriedly said, "When I entered the place, the bodyguard used this card. I clearly had 100 million dollars in my bank account then!""Who knows if the money was real or not?" The receptionist pouted. "Some scammers are really impressive now. They can create fake bank account balances easily, and can even falsify upto one billion dollars for you!"Hearing this, the muscular man at the front looked at Zalori with hostility. Zalori panicked. He said, "Everyone, wait a minute. I'll ask my friend about it. Perhaps, there's a misunderstanding here."Then, he quickly found Shiloh and told him everything. "That's not possible!" Shiloh replied confidently. "There's defin

    "All of you are resigning?" Hearing this, Vivian was shocked. Meanwhile, even though Conan only acted in a supporting role in the five movies, his career was still going strong after that. As such, it was an unwise choice to resign at that juncture. Vivian asked, "Can you tell me why you're resigning?""Ms. Lorimer, thank you very much for your support thus far," Conan replied. "However, I think I've reached a stagnant point in my career. So, I'll need to leave and improve my skills.""Tell me the truth." Vivian rolled her eyes. She certainly didn't believe Conan's words. "Ms. Lorimer, Zayclon Corporation has offered us an annual salary of one million dollars." Since Conan knew that he couldn't hide the truth from Vivian, he revealed the real reason. "So…""One million dollars?" Vivian laughed, then looked at the other actors. "So, are the rest of you going to betray Tension Incorporated as well?"Meanwhile, Colette and Mona lowered their heads in embarrassment. They didn't

    Once Vivian heard the host's words, she froze. Then, Gareth appeared onscreen. He was dressed extravagantly and he approached the stage. Once he stood next to the hosts, he then greeted the audience. "Hello everyone, I'm Gareth Beck!"His fans responded enthusiastically upon seeing him. "So, Gareth was the one behind this!" Vivian said angrily. "I have already rejected the collaboration with Zayclon Corporation, yet he attended this event by himself. He's too unreasonable!""We can't do anything to him now," Marcus replied. "When Tension Incorporated signed the contract with Gareth previously, we didn't forbid him from attending other brand events!""It's all my fault!" Vivian sighed. She added, "I thought that he was a kind and honest person because he just graduated from university. As such, I didn't restrict his activities. I didn't expect Gareth to become so arrogant, and to work for Zayclon Corporation instead! He's just like Marc!" "Thank goodness Courtney isn't like

    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

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    "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.

    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
