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

It's like we're the ones who made a mistake!“It was the first time Vivian saw Nora getting so angry.Although Vivian fully believed in Marcus, she didn't have concrete evidence.

Yet, the Lorimers had pushed him away.This caused Tucker to lose all favor with the Lorimers.Tucker asked, "Oh? I wonder what brings the two of you here." Felix replied, "Mr. Scott, it's like this. We need an electronic equipment factory that you have for our family's business expansion. Since the factory isn't worth anything to you, why don't you do us a favor and transfer it to our family? Of course, the price can be discussed."Tucker sneered. "Just because my factory isn't important, is it a must for me to sell it to you? Plus, who do you think your family is? Why should I do you guys a favor?""Mr. Scott, you

    The Lorimers sneered at Marcus' words.Even Vivian felt extremely disappointed in him.A night had passed, and the Lorimers got up and started to get busy.However, there were guests waiting just as their main gate opened.The butler widened his eyes in shock when he saw the several sleek and luxurious convertible BMWs parked outside the door."May I ask if this is the Lorimers' residence?" a man asked after getting out of one of the convertible BMWs.The butler quickly nodded. "That's right. May I ask you are …""I'm the head of Prudence County's Samson family.

    When Vivian saw the man's back, she subconsciously thought the person was Marcus.Vivian breathed a sigh of relief when the man turned around because it was not Marcus."Hello, Ms. Lorimer." The man stood up, approached Vivian, and said with a smile, "I am the president of Phisteele Corporation. You can call me Mr. Steele.""Are you Mr. Steele, the actual president of Phisteele Corporation?" Vivian was startled.Although Phisteele Corporation had been investing in Tension Incorporated, Jill, the vice president, was still the main point of contact for the company. That was why Vivian had never met Elijah before."Yes!" Elijah smiled and said in a narcissistic tone, "Do I look more handsome in person?""Of course." Vivian found it amusing. "You are the one who has been helping me with all the problems, Mr. Steele.""Yes!" Elijah nodded and said, "Phisteele Corporation has invested 100 million dollars in Tension Incorporated.

    In Prudence County, the Gunnarson family was the least influential among the ten elite families.The family was weak compared to the other nine elite families, so it had been leeching off others to survive. First of all, they relied on Zenith. When Zenith died, they pledged their allegiance to Zayclon Corporation. Soon, Zenith left Prudence County as well.So, the Gunnarson family had been laughed at by the other nine elite families for being a jinx. Any person or group they leeched off would have bad luck.This had put the Gunnarson family in a more awkward position. Even families who were ranked lower than the ten elite families could humiliate them because the Gunnarson family had no way to deny it.Due to the family's infamy of being a jinx, no one wanted to have anything to do with the Gunnarson family after it was humiliated by the other factions.The once popular Gunnarson family which relied on Zenith and Zayclon Corporation was deserted.

    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 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

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.

    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.

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.

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
