The person speaking was Teagan. At that moment, he was tied up in his seat by Sean. Teagan couldn't stand the other party's speech. Even though the Colemans in the capital viewed Sean to be the most powerful person in Merania, Teagan knew Marcus' accomplishments. As such, he felt that the other party wasn't as impressive as Marcus. "What?" Sean glanced at Teagan unhappily. "What did you say, Teagan?""I'm telling the truth," Teagan replied. "Mr. Sean, you became so successful today because of the Colemans' resources. Moreover, they nurtured you."However, Mr. Marcus lived in the Coleman residence for a few years but he didn't receive any resources. He wasn't even treated like a subordinate."Sean's expression darkened. He said, "Continue talking."Teagan continued, "Meanwhile, Mr. Marcus survived despite numerous assassination attempts from the Colemans in the capital. Although I helped him a bit, I heard he became the boss of the best company in Prudence, Phisteele Corpora
"Marcus, don't play tricks on us!" Lincoln warned. "If your surprise doesn't work out, we won't allow you to be the father of Vivian's child, even if she gives birth. "I agree." Norman nodded. "Even if the Lorimers don't want the child, our family will accept them. We won't give you Vivian's child."Of course, it'll be a different matter if you fulfill your surprise."Then, the Lorimers and the Childes nodded their heads. When Marcus saw how they behaved, he smiled. "Don't worry. The surprise will amaze all of you.""How amazing can it be?" Nora scoffed.She looked down on the other party. "Haha! This surprise will stun everyone," Marcus replied mysteriously. "So, I'll let all of you prepare for this in advance. Otherwise, when I reveal it, you might faint from the excitement."He knew that once his real identity was revealed, Nora, Norman, Shirley, and the others would be flabbergasted. In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if some of them fainted from the shock. However, N
"That's right!" Luke agreed. "All of them have high social statuses! Our relatives and friends will amaze everyone at the wedding. They complement Vivian's social ranking!"Meanwhile, the Lorimers' relatives and friends were satisfied with Faye and Luke. They behaved more arrogantly toward Marcus. "What hooligans have you invited?" Faye asked. After all, Elijah and Marcus' other subordinates kept a low profile. They didn't look like wealthy people at all. Therefore, the rest of the Lorimers looked down on them. Soon after, many tall and muscular men came out of the airport's entrance. They were dressed like the average person. "Look, Marcus!" On the other hand, Elijah pointed at those men and said happily, "Jey and the others have arrived!"Marcus smiled and nodded in reply. When Jey and the rest of the men saw Marcus, they eagerly approached them. Then, they greeted him. "Are those his guests?" Meanwhile, one of the Lorimers' relatives looked disdainful. "I remembe
Since there was only a day left to the wedding, many guests from other places rushed over to Prudence. Of course, some people couldn't attend the event due to various reasons. Therefore, they called Marcus to congratulate him that day. Father Johnny Knight was one of them. He was in charge of administering aid for a high-level official so he was unable to go to Prudence. Though he was very busy, he still managed to video-call Marcus. "Congratulations, commander-in-chief!" Father Johnny Knight looked very lively and vigorous as always. He beamed. "After waiting for so long, you're finally getting married!"I'm afraid I can't attend the event.""It's fine, Father Johnny." Marcus smiled. "I'll get a photographer to record the entire wedding for you. When you're free, you can rewatch the event."After all my work is done, I'll visit you in the capital!""Alright." Father Johnny Knight smiled widely. "We must get a drink together the next time we meet.""We must." Marcus nodded
"Yes." Shirley looked regretful. "Vivian is a great woman. It's a pity that she got married to Marcus, who's a useless piece of shit.""Is there any point in saying this now?" Norman asked. "The wedding is going to begin. There's no turning back."We can only hope that Marcus gives us a satisfying surprise!""Forget it." Meanwhile, Lisa seemed disapproving. "I'm Marcus' mother-in-law. Wouldn't I know what he's like?"I think all of you shouldn't get your hopes up. Greater expectations lead to greater disappointments."After hearing that, the Lorimers and the Childes looked gloomy. They felt that they were being tricked by Marcus that day. …On the other hand, Marcus and Vivian were putting on their wedding outfits. Marcus didn't opt for a conventional suit during the wedding. Instead, he wore traditional attire that symbolized good luck. "Marcus, you're so dashing today!" Sebastiana teased. "You're the most handsome man in this event!""If he wears this, it'll look mor
Zendaiya and Roman entered the place with the rest of the Celos. Although Roman's identity as the head of the family had been removed by Marcus, he was still the latter's grandfather. Therefore, the rest of the Celos treated Zendaiya and him with the same respect. Naturally, the older man was excited because he could attend his grandson's wedding. Besides, Marcus was Merania's commander-in-chief. This was a rare opportunity to meet him.However, Roman didn't dare to expose Marcus' real identity. Instead, he observed his surroundings and searched for his daughter, Winnie. However, he was confused because he didn't see her. "That's weird!" Roman exclaimed. "Where's my daughter, Winnie?""Winnie?" Nora suddenly remembered that Marcus' mother had the same surname as the Celos. Therefore, she felt uneasy. "Mr. Celo Senior, is your daughter called Winnie Celo?""That's bullshit!" Roman glanced at Nora. "Of course, my daughter is called Winnie Celo. What, do you think that sh
"He deserves Vivian!" Nora hurriedly nodded. "Lisa, you're a good judge of character. You've selected a splendid son-in-law!""Yes!" Shirley agreed. "Actually, I've always felt Marcus had a lot of potential. As expected, he has royal blood in his veins!""I won't let anyone look down on Marcus again!" Norman hurriedly said. The head of the Lorimers and the Childes had spoken up. As such, the rest of their family started praising Marcus too. This was a stark contrast to how they mocked him back then. After seeing that, Vivian felt very uncomfortable. All it took to get her family's approval was to reveal that he was Roman's grandson. However, she wished that her husband could become successful through his own efforts, instead of relying on family. It didn't matter to her if the Lorimers and the Childes approved of Marcus' identity. "I know what you're thinking, Vivian." On the other hand, Marcus noticed the change in the other party's expression. As such, he moved clos
Jey, Merania's Seven Military Commanders, and the Four Guardians were present. Putting everything aside, these attendees were enough to stun everyone. Even the heads of the royal family had to bow in respect. "Marcus said there's another surprise, so there must be one." Shirley glared at Norman, saying impatiently, "Let's just wait for it."It all began with the appearance of Easton's 50 prominent families. After that, it was the revelation of Marcus' identity as the grandson of a royal family, the Celos in Easton.Following them was the leader of the Laureates Alliance and then the royal family head from the Colemans in Hill City. Each guest was more impressive than the last. Despite the presence of these formidable individuals, it was still not what Marcus intended to be the surprise. Hence, Shirley was somewhat excited, wondering what Marcus' surprise was. Upon hearing what Shirley said, Norman hurriedly agreed, "Yes! I was the one who acted on a whim."It was not jus
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
