last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
Did she fall for Marcus? Brenda suddenly felt nervous. Upon hearing that Emily was planning to pursue Marcus, Brenda felt a strong sense of jealousy.

"Brenda, if you like someone, you should boldly confess your feelings," Emily said. "If you don't seize the opportunity, your crush might be snatched away right in front of your eyes. I like Marcus, so I must seize this chance."

"You!" Brenda stomped her foot. "You can't pursue Marcus."

"Well, then you pursue him," Emily smirked.

Seeing Brenda's silence, Emily said, "You won't pursue him, and you won't let me either? Brenda, you're so selfish!"

"I …" Brenda was rendered speechless by Emily's retort.

The two ladies ended up having a falling out over this.

For the whole day, Brenda was in a daze because Emily intended to pursue Marcus. She couldn't even eat dinner.

"What's wrong, Brenda?" Vivian, noticing Brenda's unusual demeanor, asked with some confusion.

"Vivian, I want to confess something to you." Glancing at Marcus, who w

    Jameson had long coveted Brenda but had been struggling without the right opportunity. Tonight presented the perfect chance, and he wasn't about to let anyone ruin his plan.Marcus spoke calmly, "I'm her brother-in-law.""Brother-in-law?" Jameson gave Marcus a skeptical look, sizing him up. "How come I didn't know?"Of course, Jameson knew. The Lorimers in Cromford had a low-ranking son-in-law. This son-in-law wasn't highly regarded within the Lorimers in Cromford. Judging by Marcus' appearance, he might be handsome, but his plain attire indicated his lack of favor within the Lorimers in Cromford. Therefore, Jameson didn't consider Marcus worth his attention."I've never heard Brenda mention having a brother-in-law," Jameson said, showing disdain. "Who are you, some wild man? Don't mess with me, get out of here!"As he spoke, Jameson tried to shove Marcus. However, the moment Jameson's hand reached out, Marcus seized it. With a swift push, Jameson stumbled backward several steps

    After that, a heart-rending howl was heard. Jameson's right foot was completely destroyed. …Meanwhile, Francesco was in a mansion at the Northfort Chamber of Commerce. He told his housekeeper, "After half an hour, head over to this bar located in the city center. Bring that bastard back here. I don't care if he's dead or alive."The housekeeper replied politely, "Yes, Mr. Guthrie Senior!"Marcus threw aside the steel pipe that he was holding. Then, he walked to a drunk Brenda and carried her up."Brenda, you're drunk," Marcus said helplessly. "I'm not drunk." Brenda grabbed his neck tightly. Then, she muttered to herself, "Marcus, you've already divorced my sister. Why can't I woo you?""I …" Marcus was at a loss for words. However, Brenda had already fallen asleep in his arms. He shook his head, and could only carry her home. The next morning, Brenda woke up early. Since Lincoln, Lisa, Vivian, and Marcus were at home, she conveniently informed them of an importan

    "Are the Celos that powerful?" Marcus couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard their words. That was interesting. However, his expression looked greedy in the eyes of Lachlan and Zenny. "Yes!" Zenny hurriedly replied. "If you return to our family, you'll certainly be an influential person there. Since you've suffered so much in the past, the Celos will compensate everything for you."He added, "I'm not trying to brag, but we're able to fulfill every request you have in Easton."Just then, Lachlan chimed in, "Mr. Coleman, please return home quickly. Your grandfather misses you so much and cries almost every day because of you.""Oh, is that so?" Marcus looked at Lachlan meaningfully. "Of course," the other man answered. He nodded his head. "Your grandfather misses you dearly!"Meanwhile, Zenny hurriedly said, "Yes! Mr. Coleman, let's go back quickly to reunite with us!"On the other hand, Vivian, who was looking at the scene, was so touched that she began crying. S

    After returning to the Celo residence in Easton, Lachlan and Zenny reported the incident to the head of their family, Roman Celo. When they finished speaking, Xavion Celo, who was beside Roman, sneered disdainfully. "You two are useless. You couldn't even bring back Marcus, who's just a matrilocal son-in-law!"Xavion was Roman's second son. Since he was very proficient in his work, his father relied on him a lot. Meanwhile, Zenny was the oldest son of the Celo family, and he often had conflicts with Xavion. As such, Xavion seized this opportunity to beat down his older brother. After all, the Celo family chose the most capable son to become the family head. They weren't selected based on their seniority. So, Xavion's son had a chance to become the head of the family in the future too. Their methods of choosing their family's successor ensured that their business empire would continue thriving as time passed. "Don't say that." On the other hand, Roman simply smiled and wave

    After Marcus finished speaking, two bodyguards immediately escorted Xavion out of the premises. When Vivian saw Xavion leave, she said, "Marcus, your uncle seems pretty sincere. Wouldn't it be bad for you to chase him away so heartlessly?""That's true," Marcus replied. "However, he would only cause harm to me!""Why?" Vivian asked in confusion. "That's because he has a hidden motive," Marcus answered leisurely. "Think about it, Vivian. How did the Lorimers in Cromford and the Childes treat you back then?"The Celos are the same as them. They only want to make use of people."After many life experiences, Vivian realized that in wealthy families, everyone pursued their own interests. Even family members would turn against one another if it benefitted them.As such, she instantly knew what Marcus was feeling then. …"What? He really said that?"Meanwhile, Roman was in the Celo residence. Once he heard what Xavion said, he was so angry that he hit the table. "Marcus is too

    "Zenny, stop talking to Marcus!" Lachlan grew impatient. "Bring him back quickly so that we can complete our mission from Mr. Celo Senior!"He added, "So long as we capture him successfully, you'll be one step ahead of Xavion!""That's true!" Zenny nodded. He pointed at the ten men behind him and told Marcus, "You've already seen the men behind me. They are fighting experts. Should I get them to take you by force, or will you follow me back obediently?""Is that all?" Marcus looked disdainfully at the ten men. "You're using them to bring me back?"Take a look at your situation now!"Marcus motioned at the window.This confused Zenny. Then, he walked toward the window and looked down. His face turned serious. "What's wrong, Zenny?" After seeing the expression on the other man's face, Lachlan approached him. Just then, they saw a large group of bodyguards standing below the company. They raised their heads and stared at the men ruthlessly. Meanwhile, their Cadillac had been

    "Who are you?" Marcus asked coldly. "Oh, Marcus. I'm your grandfather!" Roman chuckled. "I knew that you'd definitely visit me!"After all, we're family!""Is that so?" Marcus sneered disdainfully. "The Celos offended Storn in Sutheria. Since you felt bad for your other grandsons, you didn't want to send them to him. So, you wanted to send me there instead."He added, "Do you really view me as your family member?"After hearing that, Roman felt a little embarrassed. "You've already found out the truth but you still came here today. Are you choosing to walk into my trap now?"Roman decided to drop all pretenses and confront his grandson as the latter had already found out the truth. Moreover, since Marcus came on his own accord, Roman wouldn't let him off easily this time. "Did you think that I've fallen into your trap? You're overthinking," Marcus replied coldly. "I came here to seek justice for Zendaiya."I consider her my sister now so no one can hurt her!"After that,

    "What should we do about Storn now?" Lachlan looked worried. This was because he had the most sons in the Celo family. As such, if Marcus didn't become the scapegoat, Lachlan's sons would probably be selected to become Storn's servants in Sutheria. Back then, he had many sons in hopes that one of them would become the family head in the future. If he lost one son to Storn, Lachlan would have fewer successors for that position. As such, he was reluctant. "Don't worry. I've already thought of a plan." Roman narrowed his eyes and said, "Marcus is cunning and is a great fighter. Xavion can't even defeat him. So, we can't attack him directly!"Let's take another approach and attack his wife instead!""Isn't she Vivian?" Xavion's eyes lit up. "What do you plan to do, Mr. Celo Senior?""Listen carefully." Then, Roman got Xavion and the other family members to move closer. He whispered something to them.After hearing what he said, Xavion raised his thumb and praised Roman. "It's

    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.

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.

"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?
