When Sebastiana saw the dead Henri, she was shocked. "Isn't this Eurania's top assassin, Henri?""Yes." Marcus nodded. "However, he has been killed by me. Deal with his corpse now!""Yes, Marcus!" Sebastiana said. She then ordered a few soldiers to carry Henri's body away. After that, she said, "Marcus, we've found out that Henri's bank account in Ruccia received a transaction of 20 million dollars four hours ago."The Celos from Easton were the ones who gave him that money!""Oh, is that so?" Marcus was very surprised upon hearing that. "It seems that they really want to finish me off, so they spent a lot of money on this!"This also means that the Celo Annual Meeting this year is very important to them!"He added, "Alright! Since they care about this so much, I will make a big commotion at that event!"…Meanwhile, one night had passed since Henri informed Zenny about his arrival in Merania. Roman, Xavion, Zenny, and Lachlan were waiting for news in the Celo residence tho
"I'm confused as well." Zenny frowned. "Moreover, Henri vanished without a trace! I can't find him at all!""Hey!" Just then, Zephyr asked, "Is it possible that when Henri went to kill Marcus, the latter killed him instead?""How is that possible?" Zenny immediately shook his head. He added, "Marcus may be skilled at fighting, so he can defeat an average man. But don't you know who Henri is? He's Eurania's top assassin. Not only are his fighting skills extraordinary, but he also carries many weapons with him. How could he be killed by Marcus?"Zephyr fell silent after that. Meanwhile, the others were deep in thought. They didn't know why Henri would fail to kill an ordinary person like Marcus. "I got it." After a while, Roman said, "There's only one possibility now. The commander-in-chief probably took action against Henri!""The commander-in-chief did that?" Meanwhile, the rest of the Celos looked shocked. "Think about it. Wouldn't the commander-in-chief know that Henri
Xavion's expression changed when he opened the letter that Harper sent them. "What's wrong, Xav?" Roman was confused. "What did Mr. Xon say?"Xavion looked awkward and passed the paper to Roman. He said, "Mr. Celo Senior, you should see this yourself."When Roman looked at the paper, he immediately became angry. "He's too bold!"He continued, "Even if Harper was an impressive doctor in the army, he can't humiliate me like this, right? How could he say that about me!"Zenny and the other younger family members leaned in to look at it. The piece of paper read, "If you want me to treat Zafor, you'll have to show some sincerity. Roman has to kneel and beg me for help."The rest of the family members were infuriated. "Mr. Celo Senior, calm down." Just then, Lachlan, who was silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. "Harper is a miraculous doctor in the army. He wouldn't be so rude."I think the tone of this letter is similar to what Marcus would say.""That's right." Roman clappe
Roman felt extremely embarrassed that some gangsters had beaten up a member of his family!Everyone in the underworld in Easton feared the Celos. "Marcus is the black sheep of our family. How could he mix around with gangsters? That's too much!" Roman didn't consider Marcus his real grandson at all. "Mr. Celo Senior, what should we do now?" Lachlan frowned. "Inviting Mr. Xon over will be difficult for us since Marcus is here."Roman started thinking deeply. …Meanwhile, a Rolls-Royce stopped outside Tension Incorporated in the capital. A sprightly man with white hair came out of the car. He looked around the same age as Roman. He was accompanied by a young man and a middle-aged person. All of them entered the building. "Are you Marcus?" When the old man saw Marcus, he introduced himself. "Hello, young man! I'm Gavin, the head of the Celo family in Newcove!""Oh?" Marcus narrowed his eyes and looked at Gavin meaningfully. He asked, "Why are you looking for me?"Gavin sm
Everybody in the Celo family in Easton looked gloomy. They initially wanted to get rid of Marcus. However, they weren't able to do so, and the Celo family in Newcove even found out about him. This made Roman feel helpless. Marcus was like a ticking time bomb in the family. He could potentially ruin everything for them at the Celo Annual Meeting. Zenny said, "Marcus must have found Gavin by himself. He probably hated us for refusing to accept him into the family, so he went to the Celos in Newcove."By doing so, he'll be able to use their power and we'll be forced to accept him!""That seems like a dangerous plan!" Roman nodded. "However, we see now that it benefitted him!"He added, "Now that Marcus' identity has been revealed, we can't keep this a secret anymore!"Also, we must let him attend the Celo Annual Meeting!""So, we must invite Marcus to the event!" When Xavion thought of how he suffered at the capital previously, he immediately shook his head. "Either way, I'm
Since this year's Celo Annual Meeting was held at the Celo residence in Easton, the Celo family of Easton took it seriously.Apart from that, Roman promoted the meeting a lot and turned it into a huge event because he thought the Celo family of Easton had Zeno, a general, and he also invited the commander-in-chief.The event even surpassed the Fletcher family's event!The Celo family of Easton decorated the venue meticulously. The residence's entrance was covered in fairy lights, and the two statues in front of the gates looked mighty.Besides that, the Celo family also decorated most places in the residence.Everyone in the family was busy even though there was still a day left until the annual meeting. All of them wanted to show off and impress the heads of other families. After all, this was very important in the fight to become the heir of the head of the Celo family of Easton.Many luxurious cars were parked on the street where the Celo residence was located. Many family m
Roman could obviously hear the disdain in Marcus' laugh. He frowned and asked, "Why are you laughing? Are you laughing at me?"Roman grunted and said, "Marcus, I know you have many tricks up your sleeves but don't think about setting foot into the Celo residence using underhanded methods. If you want to set foot in this place, you must fulfill the three conditions. Otherwise, don't even think about it!""Yes! That's it!" Zenny said proudly, "Marcus, will you kneel to us first, or will you let us slap you first?"After Zenny finished speaking, Marcus glared at him with eyes like a hawk. Zenny felt terrified by the glare.Marcus sneered. "I laughed at you because the Celo family of Easton is biting off more than it can chew! Are you qualified to ask me to kneel to all of you? Are you qualified to ask me to call myself Marcus Celo? One more thing. Do you think you are qualified to each give me a slap?Everyone was dumbfounded when Marcus said that. No one expected him to talk back to
"Mr. Celo Senior, I …" Caleb hesitated."What?" Roman said in a dissatisfied tone, "Are you afraid of him too?"Roman's words attracted everyone's attention from the Celo family.After all, Caleb was the greatest martial arts expert in the Celo family of Easton. Everyone thought his true capabilities could not be measured."Mr. Celo Senior, I think we should forget it." Caleb quickly thought of an excuse and said, "The annual meeting will begin soon. Every member of the Celo family is here at Easton. We have many guests. It would be embarrassing if other people see this.""Yes!" Zenny agreed, "Caleb is right. We have many guests here today. It's not wise to cause a scene. Why don't we let him in for now? We will deal with him after the annual meeting is over."Sure!" Roman thought about it and figured he was too reckless just now.If Caleb threw Marcus out of the place and the Celo family of Newcove saw it, they would surely use the opportunity to make a fuss and expose the Celo
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
