Terrified screams filled the car. Brenda hugged her head and curled into a ball. Vivian threw herself into Marcus' arms.

William suppressed his excitement. He turned to look at Marcus and said grimly, "Damn it. Marcus, you need to go explain this to them."

"Nope!" Marcus curled his lip. He turned William down without hesitation. He'd be an idiot if he were to abandon Vivian and get out of the car.

"But it was because I was talking to you that I wasn't paying attention to the road!" William refused to give up. Unfortunately, he underestimated Marcus' shamelessness.

"That doesn't mean I have to deal with them. The person behind the wheel should be the one responsible!" Marcus sneered. William was an awful actor.

"Are you a man or not?" William roared.

"Of course! That's why I have to stay here to protect the two ladies!" Marcus said boldly.

William was rendered speechless.

"Fucking hell. If you guys don't get out, I'll trash this car!" The burly man in the lead was getting impati

    A few minutes later, Marcus left the store cheerily. He held a bottle of wine that cost two dollars.He called, "If you lied to me about there being industrial alcohol in here, I'm gonna return this!"The store owner almost tripped and fell. "This brat buys the weirdest stuff whenever he's here!" He muttered.Then, he smiled. "But at least he's interesting."…It didn't take long for Marcus to arrive at a towering building. It was the headquarters for the Alliance of Industry and Commerce."May I know who you're here to see?" A burly security guard stood in his way."Kevin Fence," Marcus said calmly."You've got guts, boy. How dare you call our head by his name so rudely! Do you know where you are? Are you here to cause a scene?" The security guard scanned Marcus and took in his plain attire."I'll only say this once more. I'm here to see Kevin Fence. Either let me in or tell him to come down here." Marcus was starting to lose his patience."You want Mr. Fence to come down he

    "Appease him right now, or I'll skin you alive! You good-for-nothings!" Kevin hung up with a trembling hand. Beads of sweat trickled down his face.He knew the man downstairs had to be someone powerful from the Pantheon of the Drakon!"Uncle Kevin …" William gaped at him."Shut up! Don't step out of this office. I'm going downstairs to meet someone important." Kevin hurried out of the office, almost tripping and falling in his haste."What the hell's going on?" William was stunned. Kevin had always been cool and collected. When had he ever been this anxious? "Don't tell me the important person downstairs is …"He recalled running into Marcus downstairs. His heart sank. It was impossible! Marcus was nothing but a freeloading loser. How could he be the important person Kevin was referring to?William couldn't help snickering to himself.…"What the hell? Jade, are you sure Mr. Fence's orders were to appease this brat and not to beat him up?" The chief security guard frowned at th

    "Grandma, there's one more day until the deadline, right? I-I'm still trying to think of a way." Vivian bit her lip."What? You're still thinking? Didn't you try to reach that mysterious billionaire? Are you trying to kill me, Vivian? If something happens to me, I'll haunt you for life!" Faye shrieked."What's this supposed to mean, Vivian?" Nora's expression turned grim. After yesterday's meeting, she'd set aside her pride to beg others for help.It had taken some effort, but at least they'd managed to buy some time. Yet Vivian hadn't made any progress despite a whole day having passed!"I … I honestly have no way of contacting the mysterious billionaire! We did manage to ask someone for help, though. He's Mr. Fence's nephew!"Maybe he can help turn the tides!" Vivian said hesitantly. She glanced at Marcus anxiously. To her surprise and dismay, he was chewing on some snacks."I only want to see results! Call whoever it is you've asked for help and see what he says," Nora command

    "What the fuck? Who dares impersonate my uncle? Do they have a death wish or something?"I didn't expect you to have the nerve to hire an actor, Marcus! But I bet I caught you off guard by showing up here today! You're done for!" William sneered.What a joke. Kevin hadn't even been willing to let the matter slide despite him saying the Lorimer family could apologize. How could he possibly be here to ask for forgiveness?"Didn't you hear Mr. Wray? Drive the impersonator away. Don't let him in here to humiliate us any further!" Nora snarled. She gritted her teeth and glared at Marcus.No way in hell would she believe Kevin was here to apologize. It would only happen if he'd lost his mind!"I'd let him in if I were you. Otherwise, you're gonna regret it," Marcus said mildly."Yeah, I agree. Let the impersonator in! I'll expose him to his face!" William said frostily. Since Marcus insisted on humiliating himself, he would grant his wish!"Alright, then. Let him in," Nora said rather

    After a short moment of hesitation, Marcus took his apron off. He followed Vivian into her room."Have a seat …" Vivian said awkwardly. She and Marcus had been married for three years, but this was her first time inviting him into her room."What's wrong?" Marcus asked in confusion."I … I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have doubted you without finding out the whole truth. I even shouted at you …" Vivian said apologetically. She lowered her head."Uh, it's fine. I'm not that fragile!" Marcus smiled. He loved how adorable she looked."Can you tell me why Mr. Fence suddenly came to apologize? He even got to his knees." Vivian bit her lip."I can, but not now. One day, I'll tell you everything there is to tell about myself! As for Kevin, he had to give in because someone powerful showed up."Now, I need to continue cooking lunch. Otherwise, Mom's gonna get mad when she comes home to an empty table!" Marcus strode out of the room.Vivian watched him with a complicated gaze. She

    "Me? I had a stomach ache and went to the restroom. Why do you ask?" Marcus looked at Vivian curiously."... It's nothing." Vivian's hopes were dashed when she saw how frank he was. It turned out she'd always harbored some sort of fantasy for him.She bit her lip, looking disappointed."God, that guy was so handsome! I feel like he's put a spell on me. I'm so ready to fall for him!" Serena was watching the video she'd recorded earlier. She looked excited and shy."What's gotten into you, Serena? How can you fall for him when you didn't even see his face? Aren't you afraid he'll turn out to look horrendous?" Vivian looked baffled."That's impossible! With that amazing voice and body, he has to be drop-dead gorgeous! I'm gonna post a video of him on TikTok so that people will start to dig up his information."Serena was a woman of her word. She quickly edited the video and uploaded it to TikTok with the caption, "I'll give you ten minutes to find out everything there is on this guy

    "I've prepared the perfect gift, of course. But that's none of your business." Marcus gave William a cold look.He knew what Vivian was like. She wouldn't wear anything too expensive. That was why he'd asked Wendy to pick out the Faber necklace."Don't tell me you bought a plain metal ring or something. Do you know how humiliating that is? You might not mind, but don't you dare humiliate Vivian. I won't let you off the hook if you do!" Serena waved a fist around."Let's make a bet, Marcus. If your gift is worth more than mine, I'll bark like a dog. Otherwise, you'll do it. Do you have the guts to agree?" William said.Today, he would thoroughly shame Marcus!"Marcus, don't. I don't need any gifts," Vivian whispered. She didn't want him to be humiliated.She knew he didn't have any money. How could he when he didn't even have a proper job? How could he afford something worth more than 200 thousand dollars?"Don't do anything rash! If you lose this bet, Vivian's the one who's gonn

    "Don't tell me you really gave Marcus the money, Vivian!" Serena found this very likely. Where else would Marcus get the money?"I didn't!" Vivian was so anxious her eyes turned red."Well, I don't care. You cheated, so I won't admit defeat!" William turned around angrily, wanting to leave this accursed place."Leaving, are we? Don't forget to take your gift with you!" Marcus grabbed the trash can and flung it at William.No one knew whether it was a coincidence or on purpose, but the trash can landed on William's head and covered his face.He was in such a rush to leave that he tripped and fell when the trash can obscured his vision.…"Honey, do you like the necklace?" Marcus couldn't help feeling pleased when he saw Vivian put the necklace on as soon as they got home."Yeah." Vivian nodded shyly. Then, something occurred to her, and she looked at him suspiciously. "Wait. Where did you get so much money?"She was worried he'd done something bad to get his hands on the money.

    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

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.

    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.

    "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.

    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
