Everyone was captivated by Elijah's words. Elijah played a recently released video, and the person in the video turned out to be Callum."Callum?" Marcus's voice carried a hint of disbelief mixed with curiosity. "I wonder what he's up to."As the video played, Callum appeared drenched in tears, his demeanor mired in profound sorrow, as he began to pour out a series of accusations against Vivian. "Yes, I must confess to my secretive liaison with Vivian Lorimer. It was Vivian who ensnared me, and for that, I deeply apologize to my wife, my family, and my children. "I was weak and succumbed to her seduction, which has ultimately resulted in these disastrous consequences," he confessed, his voice trembling with every word.He continued, "As many of you may have suspected, it is true that the child is mine. As a man, I dare to admit it, with nothing to hide. However, what truly angers me is the way Vivian used the child as leverage, threatening me to divorce my beloved wife and marry
The Provincial Evening Newspaper Office still hummed like a hive even as the night deepened.Everyone within, from editors to the interns, was fueled by the relentless heat of Vivian's pregnancy scandal.The heat of the scandal had been increasing, and as the first to break the story, the Provincial Evening Newspaper Office had become the media's lodestar.Before the day dawned and the next newspaper was published, they had to deliver the follow-up of the scandal.Hadwin, once a quiet ghost in the bustling newsroom, toiled away unnoticed since joining the Provincial Evening Newspaper. He was practically invisible, a forgotten face among the seasoned editors and ambitious interns. But that all changed a few days ago.A few days ago, a cryptic tip from a shadowy source landed in Hadwin's lap. Seizing the opportunity, he crafted a sizzling report on Vivian's pregnancy.It detonated across the media landscape, instantly transforming him from a newsroom nobody to a household name.Ha
The atmosphere instantly tensed.Zayden felt extremely awkward, unsure whether to move or stay still. Oliver glanced at Zayden and said coldly, "Go ahead, call the police!"However, Zayden didn't dare to proceed. Watching him hesitate, Denzel strode over, snatched Zayden's phone, and pulverized it to dust in his hand.Zayden's face turned pale, believing Denzel could do the same to him. "Do you still wish to call the police?" Denzel grunted, his tone laced with contempt."No, I won't call the police anymore." Zayden hastily waved his hands."Coward!" Denzel kicked Zayden in the stomach. Zayden immediately felt a tumultuous upheaval in his belly and vomited a mouthful of blood.Zayden and his subordinates were forcefully taken away by Oliver and Denzel. In a swift and decisive operation, the Four Monstrous Generals of Merania apprehended all the implicated paparazzi and reporters within an hour, effectively crippling the news media."Boss, we've successfully apprehended all
"Hmph!" Adam's mind raced, and he suddenly calmed down.He mocked, "So, Vivian did this, but she didn't dare to admit it in public. Instead, she hid and hired you guys to coerce and intimidate innocent people?""Innocent? You know the truth more than anyone else, yet you continue to portray yourselves as victims!" Oliver sneered."I am the victim!" Adam retorted defiantly. He said, "Vivian, on one hand, pretends to reconcile with her ex-husband, and on the other, seduces a married man. As a media professional, I must expose the truth to the public!""To hell with your 'truth'!" Denzel, infuriated by Adam's persistent denial, lost his temper. He seized Adam and forcefully slammed his head into the computer screen, shattering it and causing injury to Adam."Tell me—what's the truth?" Denzel asked coldly.Before Adam could regain his composure, Denzel forcefully smashed his head against the wall, causing Adam to feel as if his brain were on the verge of exploding.Adam pleaded, "
"So, have you found Callum?" Marcus questioned.Sebastiana lowered her head and replied in embarrassment, "Marcus, Callum is a sly one. I haven't managed to find his hiding spot for now.""It's not your fault." Marcus waved his hand and said, "I've checked Callum's background. He's been in the army. He's even a scout skilled in counter-reconnaissance."It's normal for him to be hard to find compared to the rest."It's not because you guys aren't good. You've underestimated Callum." Marcus thought about it and asked Elijah, "Eli, where would you hide if you were Callum?""Since Callum went into hiding, he definitely has backup plans when the cat's out of the bag. He surely can't stay at his usual spots anymore."Since he's skilled in counter-reconnaissance, I think his thought process would be: the most dangerous place is actually the safest!" Elijah explained."Then, where would the most dangerous place for Callum be?" Denzel quickly asked.Elijah stayed silent with a cryptic s
"Vivian wanted to get pregnant and remarry you at the same time. She's a foxy player—the sluttiest of them all. She has better game than the most scandalous celebrities out there!"What a pathetic ex-husband you are. You're willing to be cheated on, and you still defend that bitch!"Callum taunted Marcus with the nastiest things he could think of.But this time, Marcus didn't beat him up.Instead, he said coldly, "Callum, I've given you chances again and again. I wanted you to tell the truth willingly, but you don't appreciate it!"An ominous feeling rose in Callum's heart.He said, feeling a little afraid, "W-What, what do you want to do?"Marcus ignored him and pursed his lips at Denzel. He instructed, "Take the two of them to the back. Let them see.""Okay, Marcus!" Denzel grabbed Callum with one arm and Melinda with the other as if he were grabbing two parcels. He threw them in front of a door.Oliver, on the other hand, opened the rolling door."What …"Callum and Melin
Even Callum and Melinda had lost contact with them. Kobe and Cecilia were panicking.Even an idiot would understand what was going on now.Someone was out to get them."Quick, check the news!" another senior executive shouted.Kobe, Cecilia, and the rest all whipped out their phones.They saw notification alerts from various media outlets.The headlines read: "The Truth Behind Vivian Lorimer's Pregnancy!""How the Tables Turn: Vivian Lorimer's Pregnancy and Cheating Scandal Was a Conspiracy!""Justice for Vivian Lorimer! Vivian's Pregnancy Scandal Uncovered!""Exposed: The People Behind Vivian Lorimer's Scandal!"There were many more similar headlines.The flooding amount of news left Kobe and Cecilia dumbstruck.These media outlets were the ones Cecilia had failed to contact the day before.This morning, they released articles to uncover the truth of Vivian's scandal all at once. It was as if they had agreed on it.Out of curiosity, Kobe and Cecilia tapped into the artic
The front desk lady immediately realized that these two individuals were here to cause trouble.It was the first time anyone dared to make trouble at Wallmark Holdings.After all, even Easton's wealthiest would act respectfully in the face of Wallmark Holdings' status. Marcus and Oliver's direct and arrogant approach was unprecedented for the receptionist.While she was still in shock, Marcus and Oliver had already walked toward the elevator.Just as the elevator doors closed, the front desk lady grabbed the walkie-talkie in panic and shouted. "Security! Security! Someone is causing trouble and trying to reach the CEO's office. Hurry up and stop them!"After the security guards arrived, they learned that Marcus and Oliver had already taken the elevator. They quickly rushed up the stairs and hoped to reach the CEO's office before Marcus and Oliver.When Marcus and Oliver exited the elevator, the security guards were just catching up. However, these guards were no match for Oli
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
