At work, Vivian received a call from Lisa asking her to come home.

When she arrived at the Lorimer residence and saw not only Dylan but also Robert and Lily, along with a room filled with luxury items and jewelry, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Vivian, these two are Dylan's parents." Nora introduced them with a tone that indicated her close relationship with the Bennetts. "Come and meet them!"

Vivian couldn't help but wonder why she had Dylan's parents.

Robert and Lily scrutinized her from head to toe, and they were both satisfied.

"She's indeed quite the looker!" Lily was growing more and more fond of Vivian. She told Nora, "Madam Nora, you're so fortunate to have such a lovely granddaughter!"

"Mrs. Astor, you're too kind," Nora smiled and replied modestly. "Compared to Dylan, Vivian still has a long way to go."

"Not at all!" Robert waved his hand and said, "Madam Nora, now we've met her and are very satisfied, the matter we've discussed previously …"

Just as Vivian was

    "What?" Upon hearing Vivian's response, Nora was furious. "Vivian, I can't believe you're still thinking about this useless guy even after divorcing him! He's nothing but a waste of oxygen!""Marcus is not a waste of oxygen; he's a good person!" Vivian retorted. "Although we've already divorced, Marcus is pursuing me again!"And he's planning to have a wedding of the century with me!""You're still in contact with him?" Nora immediately turned her anger toward Cassidy. "How could you let that happen? We spent a lot of money to bring you here, and you can't even keep an eye on her!""Madam Nora, actually, I..." She was about to explain but was interrupted by Nora. "Stop! I don't want to hear your explanations! From now on, you must stay by Vivian's side 24/7. No one is allowed to meet her, especially Marcus, until the engagement banquet!""Grandma, I won't agree to marry Dylan," Vivian said defiantly."At this point, it's not up to you anymore," Nora said sternly. "You're my gra

    Brenda recounted the details of the engagement banquet to Marcus."The Lorimers are truly despicable and shameless by forcing Vivian into marriage behind my back!" Marcus immediately set aside what he was doing and rushed to the engagement banquet.Meanwhile, the engagement banquet was in full swing."Mr. Richard, since the two children are getting married the day after tomorrow, I suggest they spend the night together after the engagement banquet!" Nora couldn't wait for Vivian to join the Bennett family. It was as if she feared the Bennett family might regret their decision if the process was delayed. After all, this was the Bennett family of Easton. Becoming their in-laws would undoubtedly elevate the Lorimer family's status."While I'm not in a rush, the suggestion by Madam Nora is quite good," said Dylan, despite his claim that he wasn't in a hurry. However, his eyes couldn't conceal the greedy lust within. He had been smitten since he laid eyes on Vivian. He wanted to

    Richard had the confidence for this. His son, Robert, was the president of Bennett Group, and his daughter-in-law, Lily, was the vice president of Wellfield Bank. Even if Bennett Group's influence in the business world of Easton was not mentioned, Wellfield Bank being the largest private bank in Merania, with a major shareholder rumored to be a tycoon from Eagalia, spoke volumes.Because of Wellfield Bank's unique status, many of Merania's top tycoons had formed good relationships with the Bennett family. In addition, Richard himself was the chairman of the Easton Trading Association. Any prestigious family wishing to do business in Easton would invariably pay a visit to him.Richard held tremendous power in Easton. Cromford, which was adjacent to Easton, was tiny in comparison."In Cromford, our family is still the law!" Richard continued, "Offending the law here comes with serious consequences!"Marcus glanced at the dozens of bodyguards who blocked his way. He showed a dis

    After boosting the morale of the 1000 Dragon Guards, Richard turned to Dylan and asked, "Have you found out Marcus' address o?""Yes, I got the address." Dylan nodded. "We're just waiting for your orders, Grandpa.""Good!" Richard immediately ordered, "Dragon Guards, follow my command and set off to Cromford!"Subsequently, dozens of transport vehicles, stretching endlessly, loaded with 1000 Dragon Guards, set off menacingly for Cromford.…In a run-down courtyard on the outskirts of Cromford, which didn't look remarkable from the outside, was where Marcus and Merania's Four Monstrous Generals, Elijah, Oliver, Denzel, and Sebastiana, resided.The Cromford Military Region designated it as a war zone courtyard.It was a national-level confidential facility.Marcus' presence had brought this originally lifeless courtyard to life. Many soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms were active inside."Elijah, it seems like we have quite a few newcomers in our war zone courtyard today, d

    It was worth noting that civilian gun control in Merania was very strict. Ordinary citizens had no possibility of owning firearms. Even figures like Zenith, who was an underground crime boss of his level, still primarily used cold weapons when in conflict. After all, firearms were considered luxury items for them. However, Dylan not only possessed a handgun but also had 1000 Dragon Guards under his command equipped with firearms.The difference between having guns and not having guns was significant. Although Brian was not afraid, the fact that the Bennett family in Easton possesses firearms on such a scale explained their audacity in claiming to be the embodiment of the law."You're scared now, aren't you?" Seeing the shocked expressions on Brian and others, Dylan appeared smug. "Little brat, I'll give you one last chance to hand over Marcus! Otherwise, we'll step over your dead body and take him ourselves!""You think you're the only one with guns?" Brian didn't flinch a

    Seeing the fearful look on Luke's face, Marcus said, "What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine.""You're not dead?" Luke pinched Marcus' arm, confirming that it was real. He couldn't hide his confusion and said, "This can't be! "The Bennetts brought Dragon Guards to attack Cromford. How did you manage to survive?""It was only a mere one-thousand-group battalion, and I didn't even break a sweat to drive them away." Marcus smiled and appeared indifferent."You drove them away?" Luke couldn't believe it and said, "You're bluffing, right?""If you don't believe it, you can ask around," Marcus replied.Nora nodded and instructed, "Luke, go verify his words."So, Luke immediately took out his phone and made a call outside. After a while, he said to Nora, "Grandma, the Bennett family is indeed finished!""What?" Nora was shocked and looked at Marcus with amazement. "You did this?"The Bennett family's influence was undeniable – in Easton, even a mere stomp of Richard's feet could send

    These two teams of guards also carried machetes on their backs, displaying an imposing aura, much like the ancient guardians.Following that, two more teams of guards came out, each carrying a triangular flag embroidered with a dragon pattern and the word "Laurent", fluttering in the wind. When these two teams of guards merged into one, they stood in front of the square.Finally, an elderly man with snow-white hair walked out, surrounded by ten individuals who wore masks covering half of their faces.This entrance was nothing short of extraordinary, resembling a general inspecting his troops.Although the elderly man had white hair and occasionally coughed, looked frail and sickly, and even seemed as though he might stumble with every step, no one dared to underestimate him. He was none other than Rey's master, the master of both Rey and the hundreds of people who were kneeling."Welcome back, master!" The hundreds of people knelt in unison and paid their respects.

    Unfortunately, before Julius passed away, Zenith had already met his end. Zenith might have waited until after Julius' death to re-emerge and break free from the Laureates Alliance's suppression if it weren't for his encounter with Marcus. Apart from the Laureates Alliance, other organizations like Sundale Group and Zayclon Corporation also had to pay substantial annual tributes to the Laureates Alliance, amounting to tens of billions.After all, their influence extended throughout the southern region of Merania. To make money within their territory, one had to make certain contributions. However, after the downfall of Sundale Group, Zenith, and Zayclon Corporation, the quarterly tribute payments suddenly stopped. This left Julius feeling extremely suspicious.Combined with certain rumors he had heard, he decided to send Rey to establish a front line. At the same time, he intended to provide Rey with valuable experience, paving the way for him to take over the Laureates Allia

    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. 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.

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.

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.

    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. "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.

    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
