Marcus' strict security requirements for employees were entirely justified.The Clandaiyan locals were indeed too audacious.Upon hearing that Phisteele Corporation employees were being detained, Jill became anxious and said, "Quick, take me there.""Alright, Ms. Black." The security guard nodded repeatedly and hurriedly led Jill away.Without a word, Marcus followed.Guided by the security guard, Jill arrived at the edge of Clandaiya.At this moment, several Phisteele Corporation security guards were confronting several burly local residents.These residents were tall, muscular, and looked fierce.It was especially so for the central figure who was shirtless, displaying bulging muscles."What's going on?" Jill asked urgently upon seeing the situation."Ms. Black, they're causing trouble for us!" As soon as they saw Jill, the security guards, who were in a standoff with several locals, immediately seemed to find their support."That's right! They also detained some of our em
"Are you refusing me?" Fallon sneered, showing a contemptuous expression. "In Clandaiya, no one has ever dared to refuse me.""Hahaha!" Before Jill could speak, laughter erupted from the crowd.Marcus stepped forward, his sharp eyes fixed on Fallon. "Just because you're acting recklessly in Clandaiya, do you think you're the law?""Hey! You're right. In Clandaiya, I, Fallon Williams, am the law. I speak, and it's final. My words are like royal decrees. I'm the king of this land."Fallon arrogantly declared. "I've said it before. No one dares to defy my words.""Is that so?" Marcus glanced at Fallon with disdain. He leisurely reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigars. He then lit one and took a drag, blowing a smoke ring toward Fallon.Although Fallon was bulky, standing next to Marcus, he seemed dwarfed.Marcus' condescending attitude made Fallon feel humiliated."How dare you disrespect me?" Furious, Fallon grabbed the cigar from Marcus' mouth and angrily tossed
Since Fallon had been defeated, the other citizens of Clandaiya immediately removed their weapons and raised their hands in surrender. They obediently squatted near a wall. "Officers, please don't shoot us. We surrender!"Meanwhile, Fallon was trembling in fear. He wasn't arrogant like before. Just then, a group of armed soldiers jumped down from a helicopter. After landing on the ground, they immediately restrained Fallon and the other citizens. Although Fallon was the citizens' leader, he was just a small power in Clandaiya. Moreover, many citizens in the country were fierce but didn't misbehave like him. Soon after, the soldiers captured Fallon and his subordinates. Since he was arrested, the travel company in Clandaiya bought fireworks to celebrate. Many fishermen were also very ecstatic. Meanwhile, those who suffered under Fallon's rule felt liberated. In the meantime, an employee from the travel company that was in charge of Phisteele Corporation's business r
After hearing Elijah's announcement, Jill was filled with anticipation. She had chosen her attire carefully that day because it was her first meeting with the secret boss. Jill wore an impressive white gown that suited her tall figure, and she put on elegant makeup. She was certain that the secret boss would notice her because of that. Jill made herself look pretty to attract the secret boss' attention. Meanwhile, all the other employees were also anticipating the secret boss' appearance. Apart from those who had worked for Marcus since the start, like Philip and Sophie, most people from the upper management of Phisteele Corporation had never met the secret boss before. As such, they were overwhelmed with emotions since they could finally meet the secret boss that day!After that, everyone eagerly looked at the curtains covering the stage. "I'll tell you a secret." Just then, Elijah announced a shocking piece of news. "Our secret boss has been working alongside us all this
Everyone clapped when Marcus finished talking. After the applause ended, Marcus looked at the members of the upper management who wanted him to leave the company previously. "I remember what all of you did to me back then."Those employees immediately began panicking. "You don't have to worry," Marcus said. "I've seen your efforts in Phisteele Corporation! As I'm not a petty person, I won't chase you away because of that!"If all of you want to remain here and help the company expand, you'll receive great benefits too!"Then, the other parties heaved a sigh of relief. One of them replied timidly, "Don't worry, Mr. Coleman! We'll definitely work hard and contribute to Phisteele Corporation!"Marcus nodded and smiled. After observing the upper management for some time, he felt that they were pretty capable. Then, Marcus looked at Jill. "Next, I would like to praise our vice-president, Jill!"Ever since she started working here, she has demonstrated her impressive capabilit
"Yes!" Beside him, Xavion spoke up. "Although our family in Easton has many talented people, the Celos in the capital, in Bonstrom, and in Lakeside are not to be underestimated!"The Celos in Lakeside organized the Celo Annual Meeting last year. They received a lot of attention because of that!"This time, we have got the rare opportunity to show ourselves to the Celos in other areas!"Hearing that, the other members of the Celos in Easton nodded in unison. "Moreover, this year's event is different," Roman replied with a nod. "Our family has great backing now. We can rely on Zeno, who is a general in the Great Mountain Brigade and is the commander-in-chief's right-hand man!"He added, "If Zeno attends the Celo Annual Meeting this year, everyone will be impressed!""Yes!" Xavion agreed. "We can make use of this opportunity to invite the commander-in-chief as well!"Then, our family's reputation will improve greatly!""Are we going to invite the commander-in-chief here?" Roman w
There was a miracle doctor named Harper Xon in the Meranian army. He had incredible medical skills and treated those injured in battle. Harper could help the soldiers recover their stamina quickly. Back then, Marcus was a soldier who fought at the front lines, so he suffered heavy injuries. However, he had always been saved by Harper when he was on the brink of death. Many complicated surgeries were easy to do for Harper. As such, Marcus thought of him when the head doctor said that he couldn't do anything else to help Courtney. Meanwhile, Courtney and Vivian were filled with hope when they heard Marcus' words. Vivian asked hurriedly, "Honey, tell me what solution you have."She really wanted Courtney to recover soon. After all, the latter was the most important person in Vivian's career. Vivian would suffer a huge loss to her business if Courtney left the company. "I have a friend who's a skilled doctor. I think he'll be able to help us," Marcus said. However, the h
Marcus had initially wanted to forcibly knock the head doctor out, and pretend that the other party fainted by accident. However, Vivian happened to arrive at that moment.Since he had no choice left, Marcus could only let the head doctor enter the hospital room. The head doctor was infuriated when he saw a stranger treating Courtney's injuries. He roared, "Who are you? Who permitted you to treat patients in this hospital?" Yet, Harper simply ignored the other party. After that, he continued treating Courtney. He even passed the head doctor some medical waste. "Hold this for me!" Harper treated the other man like an assistant. Meanwhile, the head doctor was stunned when he saw how skilled Harper was. As such, he silently listened to the latter's instructions. Half an hour passed, and Harper finished treating Courtney. Courtney was lying on the hospital bed. There were thick bandages on her injured face, and her throat had been treated by Harper. "Your medical skil
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
Marcus and Vivian left.Alan and the others slumped in their seats and panted heavily. Alan's back was soaked in sweat.The others weren't faring much better. 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. His head shook mechanically, and he hastily said, "No… No! The five of us just wanted to invite you and Mrs. Coleman to have a simple dinner!"Zakir even took the initi
After Alan hung up, Vivian went to talk to Marcus about what had just happened.Vivian said with a concerned look, "Marcus, I believe the Colemans don't have good intentions. 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. 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. 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. As for Jill, she was responsible for managing Phisteele Corporation and Tension Incorporated. Jill was a cap
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. You should know that Chief Commander Wall would not send an incapable person or someone from
"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. Despite being invincible in their res
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
