Roman glanced around the venue and then said to Marcus, "Commander, there are many people here. Can we talk privately?"After all, it was not a glorious matter, and Roman didn't want to discuss it in front of everyone. Moreover, it involved the secrets of the Celo family of Easton.Marcus nodded and said, "Sure. I'll wait for you outside."With that, Marcus walked straight out.Roman followed him closely behind."There's no one around here. You can speak now." Marcus leaned against a tree and lit a cigarette provided by the military.Roman finally opened up. "Yes, Commander. Your mother's name is Winnie. Back then, she was my most beloved daughter. She was proficient in various arts and exceptionally intelligent. She assisted the Celo family of Easton in business and was highly successful.""Winnie?" Marcus muttered silently. This was the first time Marcus learned his mother's name since his birth.Roman nodded. "Yes, your birth mother's name is Winnie. At that time, your m
Roman remained silent. He had always believed that people were indeed categorized into different classes, just like how he had looked down on Marcus before.After pondering for a moment, Marcus asked, "What about my mother? Is she still alive?"Roman nodded. "Of course, she is. However, she is being held by the Coleman family in the capital at an undisclosed location. I'm not entirely sure about her current situation.""I see." Only now did Marcus understand why he had received no information about his birth mother during the years he spent in the capital. It was likely due to the manipulation of the Coleman family.Roman spoke with regret, "Commander, you should know I used to care deeply for your mother. However, the influence of the Coleman family is far beyond what we can contend with. So ..."Marcus understood Roman's implication and said, "You don't need to explain. I will send someone to investigate my birth mother. "As for the hardship inflicted on her by the Coleman f
"The Seele family is indeed powerful."Roman took a deep breath and continued, "Well, let me tell you something. The Fletcher family is known as the top among the Easton royal families, but it's not the most powerful."The Seele family's power surpasses even that of the Fletcher family."Marcus felt quite surprised at Roman's revelation. There was a family in Easton stronger than the Fletcher family.Roman explained as Marcus looked puzzled. "Yes. In Easton, the most powerful families are the Golden Triangle and the owner of Zegedine Hotel.""What is the Golden Triangle?" Marcus was curious.Roman explained, "The Golden Triangle refers to the Seele family, the Hayward family, and the Rallo family. These three families are the strongest forces in Easton, and their relationships are very close. Even the Fletcher family is not their match!""I agreed to arrange a marriage between your mother and the Seele family based on the idea of a family alliance, hoping to leverage the power
At this moment, the butler rushed in anxiously and reported to Lawry, Jig, and Zon, "Our people sent to the Celo family have been attacked!"Lawry became furious. "What? Is the Celo family out of their minds? How dare they attack members of the Seele family?""Let's go out and have a look," Jig said.The three of them went outside and saw Lawry's men sent to the Celo family, each with bandaged hands. They were showing signs of pain and distress.Lawry walked up to the leader and asked, "This is unacceptable! Did the Celo family do this?"The leader looked aggrieved. "Yes, sir. The one who attacked us was Marcus, the illegitimate grandson of the Celo family! And Roman even spoke disrespectfully to us. He was firmly standing on the side of that illegitimate grandson!"Jig frowned. "Has Roman gone mad, or has he grown a backbone? Roman has always been submissive to us, fearing any conflicts. Why the sudden change?"Zon analyzed. "Could it be because of the Celo Annual Meeting? Afte
Upon hearing this, Jamal no longer cared about the intense pain and ran outside frantically. After all, the experts he brought with him seemed to have no power at all. Marcus broke his arm so easily. None of Jamal's experts could predict Marcus's movements.Soon, Jamal ran back to the Golden Triangle's estate while holding his broken arm and cried, "Dad! Dad! That brat from the Celo family broke my arm!""What?" Lawry's, Jig's, and Zon's faces changed simultaneously upon hearing this.Lawry exclaimed, "How despicable! Jamal, what about the experts you brought with you? Did you just let someone break your arm without resistance?"Jamal complained, "Dad, that brat was too fast. The experts I brought couldn't even see his movements!""Useless, all of them!" Lawry cursed loudly.Just then, Jamal added, "Dad, that brat from the Celo family also asked me to deliver a message to you. He said he's coming over to settle scores for his wretched mother and that you must die!"Lawry c
Not only Lawry but also Jig and Zon couldn't help but shiver. The Golden Triangle, always known as the strongest force in Easton alongside Zegedine Hotel's owner, Sammy, had never been provoked by anyone. Even Easton's 50 prominent royal families dared not challenge them. Now, their strongest men were effortlessly wiped out by four young individuals, all under the age of 30. It left them completely shocked."You seem far from an ordinary person for possessing such power. Am I right?" Zon asked.Being the Golden Triangle, they were not easily frightened.Sebastiana smirked. "You want to know who our leader is, don't you? Well, you don't qualify to know who our leader is." Sebastiana left Zon speechless.After all, they had the power to back up such claims.For the first time, the Golden Triangle felt a sense of crisis. Marcus remained indifferent. "My identity is none of your concern. All I want is Lawry's life."However, if someone tries to stop me, I don't mind killing
The Eighteen Warriors, with bodies as strong as steel, couldn't bear the heavy blows after being consecutively struck by Oliver and Denzel. One by one, they collapsed like deflated balloons and spewed blood from their mouths. The formation of the Eighteen Warriors was shattered. Despite their strength, the Eighteen Warriors were limited to fighting skills. Oliver and Denzel, already at the peak of fighting techniques, combined with their experience as merciless war gods, knew how to defeat their enemies quickly.Lawry couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy after seeing even the formidable Eighteen Warriors defeated."Mr. Seele, maybe we should escape first. I fear that even the traps and hidden weapons might not stop them!" suggested the steward who had entered the attic with Lawry.Lawry was still holding onto hope. He shook his head. "No, that's impossible! The traps and hidden weapons in the attic are designed to withstand even stronger opponents than the Eighteen Warriors. Th
Soon, Marcus, accompanied by Merania's Four Monstrous Generals, arrived at Zegedine Hotel. Zegedine Hotel, being the most powerful establishment in the entire Easton, was a place of prosperity and danger. Despite accepting people from all walks of life, every individual within its walls was formidable.Although Zegedine Hotel was well-known, its decorations were moderate. It didn't appear much different from regular hotels, yet no one dared to underestimate it."Is this the famous Zegedine Hotel in Easton?" Marcus was about to enter the place.However, they were stopped by two security guards at the entrance.One of the guards said, "Sorry, sir. This is Zegedine Hotel. Entry requires a prior reservation or permission from our boss."Zegedine Hotel attracted a diverse crowd, and those seeking refuge inside either had to inform Sammy beforehand or be someone Sammy knew. If unfamiliar faces were allowed to enter casually and happened to be enemies of someone inside, wouldn't it b
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
