"Ms. Lorimer." At that moment, the secretary rushed in, telling Vivian, "I did some digging, and it seems Easton United Corporation wasn't just here for a Tension Inc. tour."Seth just discovered that the movie breaking box office records happened to be produced by Tension Pictures, so he decided to swing by.""Easton United Corporation's got some shady plans," Marcus said coldly. "That Seth guy tried to poach talent in front of my wife and then forcefully acquire Tension Pictures. These guys are outrageous, making moves whenever they feel like it. Do they think the film industry is their playground?"Seeing Marcus fume, the secretary wisely chose to stay quiet.After all, the secretary had also found that Easton United Corporation was a prominent player in the Merania domestic film industry. Moreover, Seth had serious connections and was ruthless. He was not someone to be taken lightly."Oh, by the way," Marcus continued as the secretary stayed silent, "You mentioned these folk

Chapter 492 The Audacious Chantelle

Upon hearing Seth's words, Chantelle and the other Internet celebrities instantly lit up with enthusiasm as if they had just gotten a shot of adrenaline.Despite having boasted millions of followers, it was essential to acknowledge that a considerable portion of them was strategically amassed by Easton United Corporation. Furthermore, within this million-strong following, there were quite a few inactive or "zombie" accounts. As a result, the actual number of genuinely engaged fans might not be as extensive as the apparent million.In the event of a sudden surge in popularity, these influencers would not only see a substantial increase in new followers but also quickly enhance their standing within their respective circles. This would lead to a significant influx of financial opportunities."We trust you, Mr. Sandman, if you say so!" Chantelle was the first to speak, adding, "Even though life can be a bit challenging, enduring hardships is what distinguishes us, right?"The othe

Chapter 493 The Less the Better

Chantelle was dead set on barging in. If she chickened out now, she'd lose her fans for sure."Who are you calling a stinky soldier?" A commanding voice rang out from behind Chantelle.It was Marcus, who had just arrived at the Grand Capital War Zone.When Marcus entered, he didn't reach out to commanders like Dominic. Instead, he noticed a swarm of Internet celebrities lugging cameras around, turning the military camp into a real circus. It was a far cry from its usual serious vibe.Wearing a grim expression, Marcus approached Chantelle after hearing her loud shouting.He was particularly ticked off by Chantelle's plan to live stream the internal structure of a heavy tank. Marcus understood that if these classified military assets were exposed, it would inevitably allow hostile forces to catch a glimpse. Once these military assets hit the battlefield, they would lose their deterrent power, essentially becoming nothing more than a heap of scrap metal.Seeing Marcus in casual

Chapter 494 How Dare You

"This is absolutely insane!" The manager couldn't contain his anger. "You didn't just crush a phone. You shattered Chantelle's massive fan base!""You, a mere soldier, dare to treat Chantelle like this? Brace yourself for some serious retaliation!"However, he failed to realize the terrifying capability of someone who could single-handedly crush a phone."This isn't your place to talk!" Marcus gave another kick, forcing the manager to kneel. "Address me when you're on your knees!""You're too arrogant!""You're just a mere soldier. How dare you!"The rest of the staff condemned Marcus, but each one was kicked to their knees by him."What? Not satisfied?" Marcus looked at the kneeling staff coldly. "If you're not satisfied, let's do this another way!"He continued, "I'll admit defeat if you can withstand my punch!"As they witnessed Marcus's ruthlessness, those who were initially defiant quickly averted their eyes and lowered their heads.They fell silent.The soldiers found

Chapter 495 Who Dares to Lay a Hand on Him

"Hahaha, this is truly hilarious!" Marcus burst into laughter upon hearing Edward's retort. "Colonel Edward, as a military man, don't you know that Merania's soldiers are renowned worldwide? Do they need these chaotic people to promote them?""Just listen to that!" Seth seized the moment. "Colonel Edward, he's calling us chaotic. Is this how the Grand Capital War Zone views Easton United Corporation?""This is outrageous!" Edward nodded. "How dare you insult others!" He ordered, "Apologize now!""I don't perceive you that way. It's your current actions that are giving off this impression," Marcus retorted."Listen up," Marcus continued, "First, Colonel Edward, you violated military regulations by allowing them to film live broadcasts in the Grand Capital War Zone."Second, these so-called Internet celebrities included many crucial military secrets in their live broadcasts from the Grand Capital War Zone."Third, this influencer named Chantelle openly insulted the guards protect

Chapter 496 The Chaotic Profit Platform

"Hey, Colonel Samson, what brings you here?" Edward quickly said in greeting. "Aren't you supposed to be leading the off-road training at this time?"Although Edward held the rank of colonel and served as the public relations minister, he had no real authority in the military camp. The hierarchy here was based on actual influence.For instance, Gary held the same rank as Edward, but as the commander of special forces, he outranked Edward significantly.Edward's role was primarily in cultural and literary activities within the military.Gary angrily asked, "Edward, what are you doing?""I'm restraining him," Edward said as he pointed at Marcus. "His identity is unclear and suspicious. He's interfering with Easton United Corporation's filming of the Military Reality Show for a national audience in the Grand Capital War Zone!"Gary skeptically observed Seth and the others. Chantelle and the other Internet celebrities were dressed flamboyantly and carrying cameras. They seemed out

Chapter 497 You Are Not Worthy

"Great Mountain Brigade, protect our Commander-in-chief! Offending the military authority is punishable by death!" Rodrigo shouted, and immediately, the Great Mountain Brigade special troops echoed his call with a thunderous roar. "The commander-in-chief is here?" Edward looked bewildered as he scanned the surroundings. "Where is the Commander-in-chief?""You're such a fool!" Gary snapped. He stood beside Marcus. "Don't you know? The man before you is the commander-in-chief.""What?" Edward was stunned in disbelief. "How could he be the commander-in-chief?"Edward couldn't connect the young man he disliked with the esteemed commander-in-chief of a nation."Bullshit," Seth chimed in. He was equally incredulous. "There's no way he could be the commander-in-chief!""You think you can deceive us?" Edward challenged."Deceive you? You think you're worth deceiving?" Rodrigo sneered. He then saluted Marcus with respect. "I, Rodrigo Saunders, Major General of the Great Mountain Briga

Chapter 498 Apologize and Get Free Resources

Marcus thought for a while before speaking. "How about this? Easton United Corporation must stop its operations for the moment and teach its employees to be more patriotic. Then, their talents' behavior will improve!"Also, Chantelle and the other influencers should stop livestreaming. They can continue working only after they've received adequate training for their characters."Marcus wanted Easton United Corporation, which was one of the best film companies, to stop operating. As such, Chantelle and the other influencers would suffer a hit to their careers. Although they might still be able to debut in the future, they had already offended the commander-in-chief!His words could cause someone's career to go back to square one. Moreover, it would be difficult for a popular talent to be as famous as before if they went on hiatus for a long time. Meanwhile, Seth and the others didn't dare to complain regardless of how Marcus dealt with the event. After all, they committed a

Chapter 499 Courtney Gets Noticed by Scions

"It didn't even work when you mentioned Zeno to them?" Roman became more confused.He said, "That's not enough? But my grandson is the right-hand man of the commander-in-chief!"Meanwhile, Seth thought, "Right-hand man?"He laughed coldly. "Mr. Celo Senior, the person who kicked us out was the commander-in-chief!""What?" Roman panicked instinctively. "Did you really meet him?""Yes," Seth replied unhappily. "He said that we caused too much trouble for the army and threw them into chaos. We're lucky to be alive now!"I'll hang up now!"After that, Roman heard beeping from the disconnected call. "Mr. Celo Senior, what did Seth say?" Xavion asked hurriedly after Roman hung up the call. "He said that the commander-in-chief chased them out of the capital's warzone," Roman answered. "That's impossible." Xavion shook his head. "Technically, Zeno is an important member of the Great Mountain Brigade and is the commander-in-chief's right-hand man. If the commander-in-chief knew tha

Chapter 500 Earn Ten Billion in One Month

The person speaking was Wyatt Xenaki.He was the second most powerful person in the Easton Scions. Wyatt was from the Xenaki family in Easton, which was the frontrunner of wealthy families in the state. They were as powerful as ten Celo families. Though the Celos seemed to be very impressive to outsiders, they paled in comparison to the Xenakis.Wyatt was the future successor of his family and thought very highly of himself. He looked down on everyone, apart from Thanose. Moreover, he had slept with almost every top female celebrity in the entertainment industry before. If he was interested in a woman, she wouldn't be able to escape his advances. "Alright!" After hearing that, the fifth most powerful member of the Easton Scions, Quinn Yelo, hurriedly agreed, "Courtney is a fine-looking woman. Of course, you'll be able to fuck her, Mr. Xenaki!"The other members of the Easton Scions nodded in unison. "If Courtney is like a virtuous lady who can't be corrupted, then Tensio
