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. If Tension Incorporated can't enter the Prudence County

    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.

After Zenith and Zayclon Corporation fell, the three of them separated and split the county into three."Cassius was the richest. His assets could even be compared to a country's fortune."Seamus had the most strategists under him. He also had a close relationship with the government which allowed him to control many government-linked companies."The strongest person should be Tucker. He had gathered many strong subordinates. Even Hugh and Appollyon were working for him."Shaun quickly explained the underworld of Prudence County to Rey in the most concise way."Great." Rey nodded after hearing Shuan's description. "Arrange a dinner for us. Remember to feed all my subordinates.""Of course." Shaun nodded."We will begin our operation when we are full. First, we get rid of Tucker." Shaun almost fell when he heard that.Tucker was capable with many s

They were happy that Rey chose their family.The three underworld bosses of Prudence County, Tucker, Seamus, and Cassius, were annihilated in one night. The name, Rey Sharpe, rose to fame. He wiped out the entire county's underworld with only two masked men.Everyone in Prudence County was scared.Thanks to Rey's occupancy in the Gunnarson residence, the Gunnarson family's position rose as well.Those who humiliated them before were trembling in fear. Most people apologized to the Gunnarson family in public or secret. Some even sent them lavish gifts including cash, precious artifacts, and even rare treasures. Shaun and Justin felt proud of that."Oh!" When Rey returned to the Gunnarson residence, he kept thinking about Tucker's dying words. Rey asked Justin and Shaun, "Tucker said there is someone whom I co

    The next morning, Justin took a few men to Tension Incorporated Although Vivian had never met Justin before, she still agreed to meet him when she heard he came from Prudence County. Tension Incorporated was branching into Prudence County and had many business partners from the county. Clients would often come from the county to discuss business with her."Ms. Lorimer, nice to meet you. You are prettier in person." Justin could not help but flatter Vivian when he saw her."That's too much praise, Mr. Gunnarson. I am just an ordinary woman." Vivian smiled and had a confused look on her face. She asked, "Mr. Gunnarson, may I know …""Aha!" Justin knew Vivian's intention immediately and said, "I am Justin Gunnarson. I am from the Gunnarson family, one of the ten elite families from Prudence County. I came here on behalf of my master to invite Ms. Lorimer to be a guest at Prudence County."Justin's strategy was to be courteous before resorting to force."Who is your master?" Vivian

The Lorimer family knew they were not as capable as the three underworld bosses."Vivian, you mustn't go!"When Vivian was in a dilemma, a loud voice could be heard before Marcus walked inside.When Marcus found out Tucker, Seamus, and Cassius were annihilated, he was worried about Vivian's safety. He went to Tension Inc. initially. When he found out Vivian had left, he came to the Lorimer residence. That was when he heard the Lorimers discussing sacrificing Vivian."Marcus?" When Nora saw Marcus, she was upset and said, "Are you ignoring my warning? Let me say it again. You and Vivian are divorced. This is the Lorimer residence. You

    When Vivian remembered how the Lorimers had described Rey, she was terrified. It was cruel of him to chop off five fingers at once."Ms. Lorimer, you've touched my bottom line." Rey said with his eyes squinted, "This is a warning. I'm sure you know what you should do, Ms. Lorimer."…Meanwhile, at the Lorimer residence, there was unease."Hey, has anyone seen Peter?"Luke was looking all over the place for Peter Scott, the butler.He was someone who could always be found in the Lorimer residence, but he vanished in one night.Everything was neatly arranged with Peter around, but the Lorimers were helpless now that he was gone. Everyone said they did not see him."This is weird!" Luke said with a frown, "Where is Peter?"…Faye was rushing to work. She was driving on a road a few miles away from the Lorimer residence. Suddenly, a person rushed out and stumbled in front of Faye's car. His hand fell on the windscreen and slid downwards with a trail of blood."Help me …" the man

    Marcus rushed to Prudence County and received a report from Tobias. "Sir, they are at the Gunnarson residence.""I understand!" Marcus nodded and said, "Rescue Vivian first. I'll go there immediately later!"Yes, sir!" Tobias said politely.Marcus rode his bike and accelerated as fast as a rocket.…The masked men held Vivian and walked into an alley. They walked past the alley and arrived at the Gunnarson residence.Tobias stood there with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was waiting for the masked men."Leave her here," Tobias said.The masked men looked at each other and rushed at Tobias. They were going for the kill immediately!"Hmph! Flashy moves!" Tobias chuckled.When the masked men rushed toward Tobias, he gave them an elbow strike and a knee kick to knock all of them out."Who are you?" The white-masked men were shocked.Ever since they entered Prudence County, the masked men had always been invincible. Tobias was the first person who could defeat them i

    Before Rey could finish, he was killed by Marcus. When Marcus saw Rey's dead body falling to the ground, he said coldly, "I don't care who you are. Blame yourself for being senseless!"Justin and Shaun trembled and cowered. They thought Rey was the strongest person they had ever met, but they did not expect the expert in Phisteele Corporation's security department to far exceed Rey.When they thought about what they did, Justin quickly kneeled in front of Marcus. "I was ignorant! Please forgive me, Mr. Coleman!""Yes!" Shaun quickly said, "The Gunnarsons were forced to do this because we were backed into a corner."From today onward, the Gunnarsons are willing to pledge allegiance to you and do everything for you, Mr. Coleman!""Are you trying to rely on me? Who do you think you are?" Marcus sneered.The Gunnarsons were famous for being fence-sitters in Prudence County. They could become the weakest among the ten elite families because they were good at taking advantage of situat

    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

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.

    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 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.

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.
