"That's right!" Angus agreed. "Marcus doesn't know the true power of the Colemans in the capital! What we showed him was just the tip of the iceberg."He probably thinks that he's invincible after achieving some successes in society. After all, not everyone can be the leader of Easton's 50 prominent families.""Why would that matter?" Sean sneered disdainfully. "Rory could suppress Easton's 50 prominent families by himself. Marcus is too ignorant and narrow-minded. Since he didn't accept our offer to enter the Coleman family again, we can just let him be."Initially, Sean wanted Marcus to join his side. However, it wouldn't work out."Mr. Sean, should we …" Angus spoke while making a slicing motion near his neck. "There's no need to do so." Sean shook his head. "Previously, we put in so much effort to kill Marcus and his mother because we didn't want them to ruin our family's reputation."But now, I think our fears were unfounded."Sean added, "Since he has control over Easto
Vivian didn't accompany Winnie and Marcus to the Celo residence in Easton for the reconciliation. However, she pushed aside all her work that day and stayed in the mansion. Then, she cooked many sumptuous dishes for Winnie and Marcus to welcome them home.Vivian was a wealthy member of the Lorimers in Cromford and had never cooked before. Therefore, her dishes paled in comparison to Winnie's. However, the older woman enjoyed the meal thoroughly that day. While they ate, Marcus asked Vivian, "How's the auction for the 100 billion dollar project?"Wallmark Holdings was very domineering and wanted the project manager to change their plans. However, according to the rules, Vivian could attend the auction as well. "The auction is tomorrow." Vivian nodded. "I've already prepared myself for it. I don't believe that Wallmark Holdings can dominate the entire event."I'll certainly acquire the 100 billion dollar project!"Once she acquired that project, Vivian's status in the Lorimer f
"Alright!" Meanwhile, Vivian nodded. She trusted Cassidy. Therefore, the former brought a few members from the upper management of Tension Incorporated with her. They sat in three cars and formed a small group, then headed to the venue of the auction. …On the other hand, Jill was at Phisteele Corporation. She lay low and rushed over to the venue with a few cars. That was a part of Vivian's plan. On one hand, Vivian set off with much pomp so that others would know that she was going to the auction. On the other hand, she wanted Jill to head over to the venue without anyone noticing. So, even if Vivian encountered any difficulties along the way, at least one person could represent Tension Incorporated and Phisteele Corporation to attend the auction. Soon after, Vivian's car entered the city. Many cars and passengers started to appear. However, it didn't impact Vivian's journey at all. Vivian was seated in the backseat. She was very nervous and tense. She couldn
Since they knew how powerful Wallmark Holdings was, those from other companies stood at the entrance and didn't dare to enter the venue. After whispering among themselves for a while, they decided to leave. Once they left, Kobe smirked arrogantly. Then, he asked Cecilia, "Have you settled the issue?""Don't worry, Mr. Kobe," Cecilia replied confidently. "I've already set up many traps to prevent Vivian from coming here."Kobe nodded. "Were your methods undetectable?""Don't worry about it, Mr. Kobe." Cecilia smiled. "The people that I've sent over settle issues cleanly and succinctly. Even if Vivian knows that we set her up, she can't find any evidence to accuse us of it."Also, she thought that she could hide everything from us by getting Jill to come here via a hidden route. She didn't know that her every move was predicted by us."Wallmark Holdings will certainly win this auction today!""That's great!" Kobe was relieved. He praised the woman. "You're a great assistant w
"We acquired the 100 billion dollar project?" Vivian was in disbelief. After all, both of them couldn't make it to the auction. "Yes." Jill nodded. "Though we couldn't make it, Phisteele Corporation's secret boss rushed over. Therefore, we could obtain the 100 billion dollar project. Moreover, he called to inform me to hand the project to you.""So, that's what happened." Vivian was extremely happy. However, she was a little confused. "Jill, who's Phisteele Corporation's secret boss? I think he's very capable and he keeps trying to help me. Why is that so?"Suddenly, she remembered that the Lorimers told her Phisteele Corporation's secret boss was interested in her. However, Vivian had already made up her mind. Even if Phisteele Corporation's secret boss threatened her, she wouldn't agree to his advances. That was because she only loved Marcus.Meanwhile, Jill thought, "Why? That's because you're the wife of Phisteele Corporation's secret boss!"Yet, she had already promised
"It's an important issue, yet everyone knows about this apart from us. What is Vivian trying to do?" Nora huffed angrily. "Are we that unimportant to her?""Grandma, I think Vivian doesn't view herself as our family member." Meanwhile, Faye pouted beside her. "Although she's getting married, we didn't know anything about it."Nora paused and then asked Luke, "Did you know about this?""What are you saying, Grandma?" Luke shook his head. "You didn't even know about this. I'm the younger generation of the family, and am not on good terms with her. How would I know that?"Nora scoffed coldly. After thinking about it, she said, "I'll call the Childes in Northfort to ask them about this."She called Norman and Shirley. The other parties were confused as well. "What?" Norman said in bewilderment. "My granddaughter is getting married but I didn't know about it?""I'll ask around then." Nora picked up the phone again and called Lincoln and Lisa. "Your daughter is getting married on
"I'm pregnant!"Vivian's words hit them like a bomb, causing ripples on the calm surface. Nora, Norman, Shirley, and the others all appeared shocked. On the other hand, Lincoln and Lisa exchanged glances. "I'm pregnant with Marcus' child. Now, none of you can stop us from getting married," Vivian added.Lincoln could not help but sigh. "This is a disaster! Why do I have such a shameless daughter like you?""Vivian, are you trying to force your way into getting what you want?" Lisa accused. She continued, "You sure know how to play your cards, huh? Take action and sort things out later. Did Marcus teach you this?""Mom, don't make baseless accusations," Vivian retorted. "Marcus and I are truly in love. Even if I wasn't pregnant, no one could stop us from getting married. Moreover, we're expecting our little one!"Members of the Lorimers in Cromford and the Childe family in Northfort could only shake their heads helplessly. Since Vivian was already pregnant, they could d
Everyone looked at Marcus with anticipation.They had to admit that Lincoln's conditions were favorable to the Lorimers. Marcus would have no status in the family if he agreed to them. Then, Vivian would remain in control. Nevertheless, if Marcus objected, they could easily reject their marriage. So what if Vivian was already pregnant? It was not a problem for the Lorimers. After all, they could take care of the child."Marcus, just give us an answer already," Nora urged. Even Vivian gazed at Marcus with anticipation. Deep down, she hoped he would agree to all the audacious demands. It was not that she was inconsiderate to his feelings. Instead, Vivian believed that refusing outright would surely spark strong opposition from the Lorimers and the Childes. That would only worsen the situation. For now, Marcus should agree to the requests and proceed with the wedding. By then, with Vivian's status and the arrival of their child, Marcus could just ignore Lincoln's extreme con
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
