"Alright!" Nora finally spoke. "Stop arguing, all of you!"

"What do you think the military is? You snap your fingers, and they come running; snap them again, and they'll disappear?

"Put an end to this stupid argument!"

"Yes!" Felix quickly agreed. "Madam Nora is right."

They narrowly avoided exposing themselves.

Thank goodness for Nora!

Felix and Josiah exchanged glances and wore triumphant smiles.

"The Hendrix brothers saved our family, and naturally, I won't go back on my word. I'll do what I promised," Nora continued. "Some time ago, you brothers came to propose a marriage."

"However, you were rejected by Faye.

"This time, I've decided to betroth Faye to Felix."

"Thank you, Madam Nora!" Felix beamed. "Madam Nora, my brother and I hope you won't treat us unfairly."

"Yes!" Josiah had been eyeing Brenda with a sly expression. "She's not bad either."

"I won't marry you!" Brenda immediately refused.

"She'll do as well." Josiah pointed at Emily.

"You're dreaming!" Emily reto

    The purpose of the comprehensive examination was to avoid arousing the suspicions of Vivian. Vivian was unaware that the main objective of this examination was to determine whether she was pregnant.After approximately an hour, the test results were ready.Upon learning that Vivian was not pregnant, Luke's lips curled slightly, and he said with a smile, "Alright, Vivian, you can go in and visit Grandma now!"Both Luke and Nora played their roles thoroughly. They even arranged for Nora to stay in a hospital room, using their established connections within the hospital. After all, Grandma was elderly, and her frail health could justify such a precautionary measure."Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" Vivian asked with concern as she entered the hospital room and saw Nora in a patient's gown."I'm fine," she replied. "It's just a common cold. But Luke insisted on having me admitted, saying that I'm getting old and even minor illnesses should be taken seriously.""I think Luke did

    Busy with work, Vivian was suddenly called back to the Lorimer residence.Upon seeing that everyone in the Lorimer family was present, Vivian was confused and asked, "What's going on?""Vivian, I have an official announcement for you," Nora said with a solemn look. "From today onward, you and Marcus are no longer husband and wife!"Here, this is your divorce certificate!""What?" Vivian was utterly baffled.She reached out and took the divorce certificate and saw that there was even a government seal from the Civil Affairs Bureau on it, confirming that it was not a forgery.She immediately became furious and asked, "What right do you have to do this?"Seeing that Lisa and Lincoln were also present, Vivian questioned them as well, "Mom, Dad, did you also agree to this?"Lisa and Lincoln felt guilty and lowered their heads, unable to meet Vivian's gaze."Vivian, the die is cast, and you must accept this reality," Nora said. "To be honest, your career is thriving now. As the CEO

    "How much?" both Seamus and Tucker asked in unison. After all, recruiting a former national war hero must come with a hefty price tag."Hehe!" Tucker wore a smug expression and extended five fingers, saying, "This much!""Five million?" Seamus tentatively asked. As Tansili's God of War, he must be worth at least five million, right?Seeing Tucker shaking his head with a smile, Seamus grew puzzled. "It can't be five billion, can it?""Congratulations, you guessed it right!" Tucker chuckled. "It's indeed five billion.""Wow!" Seamus and Cassius both gasped. Paying five billion annually for Tansili's God of War was a staggering amount. Tucker not only had a formidable team of martial artists but also far surpassed the economic power of both Seamus and Cassius.They realized that competing with Tucker for dominance in the underworld of Prudence County seemed almost impossible. However, with the Tansili's God of War at their side, they had nothing to fear from the head of se

    Oliver remained calm even though Appollyon and Hugh advanced on him simultaneously. Then, Appollyon attacked first. Sparks flew in the air because he waved his sword around very quickly.The blade soared dangerously toward Oliver. However, to Appollyon's surprise, his opponent simply dodged the attack swiftly. After that, Hugh rushed toward Oliver. His baton looked very heavy and cut through the air when it moved. It also didn't manage to hit Oliver.The baton smashed onto the floor, causing a large hole to form on the ground. Oliver chuckled. "I didn't expect the both of you to be so impressive. However, I've already let you two attack me first, meaning I've already been courteous enough. It's time for you two to check out my attacks now!"He started moving after he finished speaking. Oliver moved at lightning speed toward Appollyon. He simply snatched Appollyon's sword from him. Then, he leisurely threw the priest over his shoulder. The match lasted for about

    Just then, Tucker, Seamus, and Cassius realized the same thing at once. They thought, "How could Zenith Jahn vanish into thin air after dominating the capital for so many years?"Moreover, Zayclon Corporation had tremendous power and was as capable as Zenith's empire. They even collaborated with Grand Maester Durst from Marie Isla, but they were defeated as well! How could Northfort's Phisteele Corporation destroy the capital's strongest two forces without strong backing from someone else?" Alas, Tucker, Seamus, and Cassius didn't expect the person leading the Pantheon of the Drakon to be behind this!If they attempted to challenge him, they would suffer disastrous consequences. "Alright!" Marcus replied with a smile. "Since the three of you have taken a stand in this issue, you must accept my command. All of you must ensure that the capital's underworld remains peaceful.""Yes sir!" Tucker, Seasmus, and Cassius agreed simultaneously. Then, Marcus began thinking deeply. He t

    Marcus took the divorce certificate from Luke in confusion. He opened it and saw the details of his divorce registered on it. They had even pasted his picture on it. Then, he realized that the stamp on it was real. "Haha, that's hilarious!" Marcus didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You guys are impressive. How could you all get a divorce certificate when I wasn't around?""Marcus, since Vivian and you are already divorced, you'll be a stranger to her now. I hope that you'll stop pestering her from now on," Nora said seriously. "Did you think you could stop me after getting a divorce certificate on my behalf? That's ridiculous!" Marcus sneered. He added, "Did Vivian agree to this?""Of course. Otherwise, why would the divorce certificate be registered so easily?" Luke butted in hurriedly. "Shut up!" Marcus glared at the other man. "Was I speaking to you?"Then, the former looked at Nora. Nora nodded. She went against her conscience and replied, "Vivian agreed to this!"

    The Lorimers acted swiftly. They quickly hired a female bodyguard for Vivian. Her name was Cassidy Lowe, and she had retired from the special forces previously. After looking at her impressive fighting skills during the interview, the Lorimers were satisfied. They were confident that Marcus wouldn't be able to get near Vivian if Cassidy was around. Meanwhile, Vivian didn't care that the Lorimers had hired a bodyguard for her. She let them do as they pleased. After all, Tension Incorporated was extremely busy during this period. After Zenith and Zayclon Corporation left the state, the business expanded rapidly with the help of Phisteele Corporation. Moreover, they were planning to enter the capital city's market. So, Vivian was extremely preoccupied. That day, Marcus arrived at Tension Incorporated as usual. Once he entered the place, many bodyguards took the initiative to greet him.Although they had been transferred to Tension Incorporated, Marcus was still their su

    Cassidy used her best moves on Marcus. She had done that many times on the battlefield. It was a strong and sharp attack. Many of her opponents were injured severely or killed due to this fighting technique. Meanwhile, since Marcus was well-trained in combat skills as well, he knew the power of her attack. However, he also knew that it wouldn't hurt him at all. As such, he simply stood there and prepared to receive the blow. "Stop!"Just then, the door to the president's office was opened. Vivian stood at the entrance and said sternly, "What are you two doing?"Then, Cassidy stopped fighting and replied, "Ms. Lorimer, this man is trying to barge into your office. He's disturbing you!""I want to meet my wife. Why must I ask for your permission first?" Marcus retorted unhappily. Vivian stared deeply at Cassidy, then said, "Cassidy, please step aside for a while."She knew why Marcus was searching for her. Meanwhile, Cassidy hesitated. Finally, she replied with 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

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

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.

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.

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.

    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
