The Crest Clan's experts were always skilled in martial arts. Their punches and kicks were incredibly powerful. They were capable of instantly rupturing internal organs—a phenomenon known as the seven injuries.Therefore, Wolley and Nico had great confidence in the 18 experts from the Crest Clan. They were the most powerful experts within the clan.In the darkness, the 18 experts from the Crest Clan, each wielding a sword, charged toward Marcus.Unlike the hidden weapon experts of the Shadow Clan, the Crest Clan's experts had no need to hide themselves. They could face Marcus head-on.Soon, the 18 experts from the Crest Clan surrounded Marcus.The leader raised his sword high and swung it at Marcus' waist.This time, Marcus chose not to dodge on purpose.The sword struck Marcus' waist with a clang, as if it had hit a wall. It was unable to advance and rebounded.The attack almost backfired on him.Marcus was satisfied with how well the armor worked. The material of the golden
Wolley felt extremely awkward. During the day, Wolley and Nico gave Marcus three gifts to please him. They thought they had found someone to rely on and could show off to the Coleman family in the capital.They did not expect to meet him again in the evening!Marcus chuckled and said, "I'm very satisfied with the golden silk armor you gave me!"By the way, why are you kneeling? Weren't you here to kill me, chop off my head, and seek recognition from the Coleman family in the capital? What are you waiting for? Come on!"Wolley and Nico were too scared to respond to Marcus.At this moment, they finally knew why Rory had been defeated despite his formidable reputation in Easton.Marcus knew they wanted to kill an abandoned bastard during the day!Marcus told them that the other side was not easy to deal with ...It turned out Marcus was not only the commander-in-chief but also the abandoned bastard of the Coleman family in the capital!Wolley deeply regretted telling him their
Wolley was taken aback and answered, "Yes Commander, I can contact Wallace!"Wolley knew that Marcus wanted him to pass a message."Commander, tell me what you want me to do. I'll try my best to do whatever I can," Wolley responded respectfully.Marcus said, "Alright! Pass on a message to Wallace for me. Tell him that both my mother and I are doing well, and we might visit the Coleman family in the capital someday! I want to give them a surprise, so don't reveal my status to them, got it?""Got it, I understand!" Wolley nodded quickly."Why are you still standing here? Leave!" Marcus said after finishing his words.Wolley gave Elijah a quick look."Mr. Coleman Senior, what am I supposed to tell you?" Elijah shook his head, wearing a disappointed expression. "Starting today, I'm no longer associated with the Coleman family in Hill City. You folks don't have to come looking for me again!"Elijah never expected that the traitor that the Coleman family in Hill City wanted to kill
"I'll deal with you after I get rid of the abandoned bastard!" Angus hung up furiously.He was raging at Wolley's audacity to confront him.While Angus was merely a butler for the Colemans in the capital, he was superior to Wolley, who was the head of the Colemans in Hill City.Obviously, the Colemans in the capital were extremely powerful."Fine! I'll be waiting right here!" Wolley didn't back down.He and Angus had officially fallen out. He wasn't scared of offending Angus.Besides, he had long been dissatisfied with being suppressed by Angus all this time.After Wolley hung up, Nico next to him said worriedly, "Dad, we've offended Angus. I'm afraid things will get tough for us!"Sure, the commander is a one-in-a-million, once-in-a-century talent. He's second to none. But the Colemans in the capital have been thriving for a millennium. Do you really think that the commander alone can take on an ancient family with a 1000-year history?"An ancient family was precisely one bec
Angus could feel Sean's murderous aura even through the phone.The consequences would be horrifying once Sean was riled up.Even Angus wouldn't be able to take it.He was basically listening to the call on his knees now."Huh, that's more like it!" Sean still sounded as cold as ever. "I'm giving you three days to kill the mother and son. If you're not done with them after three days, you'll die in my hands!"Sean's threat made Angus shake in fear.Sean had a million ways to torture him that was worse than death."Oh right, Mr. Sean." Angus thought of Wolley's words and decided to tell Sean."That abandoned bastard wanted to tell us something through Wolley. He wanted to say that he and his biological mother would visit the Colemans in the capital sooner or later.""What?" Sean was enraged when he heard it.He bellowed, "The abandoned bastard doesn't know when to give up, huh? He was kicked out of the Colemans six years ago, yet he's been thinking of coming back! He even wants
Marcus' biological father's company wanted to compete with Vivian for the 100 billion dollar project. How could Tension Incorporated stop it?Vivian suddenly felt the enormous pressure weighing on her.After all, they were the Colemans. Even Phisteele Corporation couldn't compete with them.Not to mention Tension Incorporated!At this moment, Jill answered a call.After the call ended, she said seriously, "Vivian, my secretary called me. The higher-ups from Wallmark Holdings are coming today. They're definitely here for the 100 billion dollar project.""I think it's better for you to meet them.""What?" Vivian was out of it.After Jill repeated herself, Vivian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll meet them."Vivian made up her mind. She was going to keep the project no matter what.After all, it was the best chance for her to grow until she could break free from the Lorimers.She didn't want it to slip away just like this.She wanted to try even when her competitor was the powerful
"I came here today with only one purpose, representing Wallmark Holdings to compete for this 100 billion dollar project with you!" Cecilia said assertively.She left no room for misunderstandings. As the assistant to the CEO of Wallmark Holdings, Cecilia was well aware of the kind of force that stood behind the company.To her, Wallmark Holdings was invincible.Vivian snorted. She showed no signs of backing down. "You want to compete with me for the 100 billion dollar project? Cecilia, let me make it clear. I've already established a cooperative relationship with the developers for this 100-billion-dollar project, and we've signed a contract. How can you just claim it by force?"Even though Wallmark Holdings was part of the Coleman family in business dealings, once a contract was signed, it was a factual commitment. Vivian did not believe that Wallmark Holdings could change this situation. After all, breaching the contract would entail paying a hefty penalty of over a billion
After Cecilia left, Vivian couldn't help but sigh. Her hard-earned 100 billion dollar project had gone down the drain. Her efforts and sacrifices were all in vain. Moreover, the prospect of her getting another opportunity like this was uncertain.Noticing Vivian disheartened, Marcus couldn't help but say, "It's just a 100-billion-dollar project. There's no need to be so upset. "How about I talk to Jill and have her give you another 100 billion dollar project?"Vivian couldn't help but laugh at Marcus' words. It seemed like he was accustomed to idling away his days. He actually thought he was the mastermind behind Phisteele Corporation.Besides, getting another 100 billion dollar project wasn't something that could be arranged so easily.Additionally, Cecilia could still come and snatch it away even if they got another 100 billion dollar project.Considering the situation, Vivian decided to avoid Wallmark Holdings' aggression temporarily. She had to find another suitable
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
