The head of the Xenaki family swiftly followed suit. "It is a great honor, Commander-in-Chief!"More men knelt down on the ground.Even though Dawson and the rest of the Easton family heads were far older than Marcus, his mere title was enough for them to treat him like some saint.The youth of the Easton families were slow to react, however. Many of them remained standing stock still in shock."What are you waiting for, Thanose?" Dawson quipped. "Hurry up and pay the commander-in-chief your respects!""Yes, right away!" Thanose returned to his senses and said to Marcus, "It is an honor to meet you, Commander-in-Chief!""Commander-in-Chief!" Dawson cried earnestly. "Thanose and the Easton Scions have offended you gravely, for that he should have been punished heavily. You have truly been gracious in only breaking both his arms!"I know that I have offended you gravely yet again tonight and that my life won't be spared. Before I die, I would like to make a small request!""You s

The department officer felt like his world was going to end. He clearly remembered his predecessor had been taken away by the National Security Agency last time due to accessing someone of Security Level: SSS.That predecessor's whereabouts remained unknown until today.No way was the department officer going to look through a Security Level: SSSSSS profile!"I think it's best that you leave, Mr. Zenny," he said dejectedly. "I really can't help you on this matter. An SSSSSS level individual is not someone that I can tamper with in my position!""That's impossible," Zenny said, astonished by the department officer's expression. "Marcus is just a good-for-nothing bum, an outsider looked down upon by our family! Yet you're saying his profile level is SSSSSS? Are you bluffing?"Zenny clearly did not believe the officer.The department officer said sternly, "You misunderstand, Mr. Zenny. Do you think I don't know where I stand? Why would I be so foolish as to purposely offend your fam

It might have sounded as though Jill was very angry and disappointed with Marcus earlier. However, she had begun to place a lot of faith in Marcus ever since he had repeatedly helped rescue Jill previously. That was also why she had lost her temper when she saw how carefree Marcus was just now. It was as if he had paid no care to the Lorimers' requests at all. Still, Jill did not hesitate to share her concerns with Marcus. "What? Which company was it?" Marcus' interest was piqued upon hearing Jill's words. "How dare they take our goods but refuse to make the payment!" Marcus would not just stand and do nothing while someone was trying to take advantage of his business. "Huh?" Jill was a little surprised by how worked up Marcus was. Then, she snorted, "You're reacting as if you're the owner of Phisteele Corporation." "I am the owner of Phisteele Corporation," Marcus thought to himself. "You have quite a strong sense of responsibility." After a brief pause, Jill started

Sylvester had never met any of these individuals but had seen them in newspapers and magazines. Hence, he could easily recognize them. They were the heads of quasi-royal families of Easton. The quasi-royal families fell between the aristocrats and royal families. They fell short of royal standards but were much more affluent than aristocrats. They were also terrifyingly influential. For someone like Sylvester, he would have to endure the humiliation silently even if the quasi-royal families were to relieve themselves on him. Otherwise, he could never establish himself in Easton. "Greetings, esteemed family leaders!"Sylvester panicked and hurriedly greeted them once more. Nevertheless, the heads of these quasi-royal families could not be bothered to acknowledge Sylvester. All of them were arrogant, holding their heads high. That made Sylvester feel very awkward. "The head of the Xenaki family has arrived!""The head of the Yelo family has arrived!""The head of the H

Roman had made an astonishing discovery. He could not believe that with the Celo family of Easton's power, he failed to find out who the secret boss was. Not only that, but he could not even get the person in charge, Elijah's personal number. The only thing they found out was Jill's information, at best. "We'll settle for the vice president, then," Roman uttered. He realized tracking down the secret boss or even Elijah was hard. Meanwhile, Jill was the one overseeing the day-to-day operations. And so, Roman called Jill. After introducing himself, he recounted Marcus' visit to Easton for debt collection while adding unnecessary drama. "So, Marcus relied on the Celo family of Easton. That's why he had successfully gotten the money," Jill mumbled. The finance department had called her earlier. They informed Jill that the 99 billion dollars Easton Sun Corporation owed had been transferred to their account.Upon hearing the news, she was delighted and even held Marcus in a
