Rags to Riches Chapter 108 Explosive Manliness
"I'm not a little vixen …" Leah shrunk against the door jamb. Her eyes were slightly red."Hmph! Don't think you've found a prince in this frog. He's nothing but our family's matrilocal son-in-law!" Lisa gave Marcus a contemptuous look."Ignore her. Come on in," Marcus said coldly. He stepped forward and tugged Leah into the house by the hand.Vivian was a little uncomfortable to see him holding another woman's hand. Still, she waited for him to explain."This is a friend of mine. She doesn't have any more family, so … she's gonna stay with us from now on," Marcus said."Is this the young lady you mentioned earlier? The one those bullies were harassing?" Vivian's eyes widened. Marcus had told her what had happened.Marcus nodded."Why didn't you say so earlier? Come and sit! Leah, right? From today onward, this is your home, so make yourself comfortable." Vivian pulled Leah onto the seat beside her. She caressed Leah's hair gently."Okay. You're so pretty, Vivian!" Leah said en
Rags to Riches Chapter 109 A Disaster for the Family
"I can't drink!" Vivian looked a little repulsed. As expected, Shane was as much a player as the rumors said."Oh? Is it because you think I'm not worthy of drinking with you, Ms. Lorimer? Are you sure this is how you want to act around me?" Shane's tone turned icy."No, it's not that. I'm alcohol intolerant. My doctor said I can't have even a sip of alcohol," Vivian said. She was trying to be patient.If not for Nora warning her to seal this deal, she would've left long ago!"How about I drink this with you? That should be okay, right?" Marcus grabbed the bottle of cognac."Of course! I'm not the type to force others to do things they don't want. But if you're the one drinking, you should finish at least two bottles to show your sincerity." Shane smirked.This was his true purpose. Once he got Marcus drunk, he could have his way with Vivian!"That makes sense." Marcus popped the cognac open and started gulping it like it was nothing."Marcus, stop! That's enough!" Vivian tugge
Rags to Riches Chapter 110 The Drakon
"You'd better deal with this in a way that doesn't piss me off," Marcus said lowly. Then, he hung up."How dare you hang up on my father! My family won't let you off the hook for this! Do you know what happened to the last guy who pissed me off? I broke all his limbs!" Shane threatened.Once his father got here, he would show Marcus what hell was like!"Marcus, you're in trouble now! Tom Zety's incredibly powerful in Clafford. I heard he's connected to the Dark Dragon in Camron."He won't let you off the hook for making his only son end up like this. Hurry and head home, then find a way to leave Cromford for now," Vivian said anxiously.She stuffed a credit card into his pocket as she spoke."What're you gonna do when I'm gone?" Marcus looked at the credit card, feeling warm. He held Vivian's trembling hand lightly."Forget about me! They won't do anything to me!" Vivian stomped a foot."I'm not going anywhere." Marcus shook his head."Don't worry, Ms. Lorimer. Mr. Coleman mus
Rags to Riches Chapter 111 Slapped His Mother-In-Law
"I am," Marcus said bluntly. After a pause, he continued, "But I can't tell you what it is yet. Believe me when I say that I'll tell you everything when the time is right."He had yet to deal with the Coleman family. Some veterans in the Pantheon of the Drakon also had yet to accept him as the Drakon.Telling Vivian his identity now would only make her worry.Vivian stared into his eyes. It was as if she wanted to see his soul."Alright, then." She sounded a little disappointed. Maybe the mysterious billionaire was backing him up. Maybe he needed the mysterious billionaire's permission before telling her anything.Vivian sighed to herself. "It's good to have friends to rely on for help. But sometimes, I wish you could do these things based on your abilities." After saying that, she left."Huh?" Marcus thought about Vivian's words. Soon, he realized what she meant and couldn't help smiling bitterly.Who in this world was worthy of his reliance?…The first thing Marcus saw wh
Rags to Riches Chapter 112 Who the Hell Are You
The following day, Marcus decided to bring Leah to the mall. He wanted to get her some clothes."Where are you guys going? Aren't you gonna have breakfast?" Vivian asked.She'd gotten up early today to prepare a scrumptious breakfast.Lisa snorted. "What's the point of asking? It's not like they appreciate it!" She glared at Marcus. There was some fear in her gaze, but it was more angry than anything."I'm gonna bring Leah shopping for some things," Marcus said calmly. He continued walking."Wait! How about … how about I go with you?" Vivian bit her lip."You should go to work. The announcement about the collaboration with the Zety family should be made today. If you're absent, the credit might go to someone else again." Marcus smiled.After that, he and Leah left.Lisa slammed her cutlery on the table. "I can't stay here a second longer! How dare a loser speak to you so haughtily! I'll be humiliated if people hear about this!"I have to think of something to drive him and tha
Rags to Riches Chapter 113 I’ll Let You Live
The third floor of the shopping mall at Citrus Hall was only for clothes."Marcus, I … I have plenty of clothes. I don't like any of these, so let's not buy them. Maybe we should just go."Leah was delighted at the sight of the pretty clothes. But when she saw the exorbitant prices, she tugged Marcus' hand, wanting to leave.Marcus ruffled her hair dotingly. "Don't worry, I can afford all of these things."Leah was lying through her teeth. If she didn't like the clothes, her gaze wouldn't be glued to them."Well … okay. I'll take a look at them." At Marcus' insistence, Leah chose to give in. She decided to pick the cheapest item she could find. That way, she wouldn't embarrass Marcus and waste money.At this moment, Marcus' phone rang. It was Yannis. It looked like the Coleman family was finally making its move!"I need to answer this. You can look around first," he said to Leah. Then, he hurried to an empty corner to answer the phone."Sir, Wanda Coleman is on her way to Cromf
Rags to Riches Chapter 114 Mr. Coleman
Conrad had reached his limit of generosity.He thought, "How dare these beggars make a fuss in Lameiz! This is Lameiz we're talking about! "If words get out, will people still buy luxurious clothes from us? Regardless, I'm gonna teach them a lesson!"Marcus found it absurd. "Why are you jumping to conclusions? You're asking only your employees but not us."Conrad replied arrogantly, "Ask you guys? What for? We're a reputed brand from Alvania. Everything we say is right."To him, reasoning was only possible between parties of equal levels."I wonder how far you can go with your logic. Oh well, I happened to have two options for you anyway."It's either you get out of Citrus Hall or I'll cripple you with my bare hands." A menacing glint danced in Marcus' eyes.If Leah or someone powerless was shopping around alone, this situation would've been a nightmare to them.They were bullied due to poverty and powerlessness.Although the passers-by pitied Leah a little, they were gloati
Rags to Riches Chapter 115 Have You Made Up Your Mind
Nora snorted. "Understand the situation, won't you? We can't lay a finger on her at the moment.Vivian was the person who attracted an investment from Globestone Investments.She was also on good terms with the first person in charge of the Real Estate Bureau.Even the representative of Ziegler Group acknowledged only her.If Luke and Nora drove Vivian out of the company, the damage incurred would be irreversible."We can't lay a finger on her? Grandma, since when were you this irrational? Vivian is slowly garnering authority in the company."A lot of people are siding with her too. If this continues, not even you can keep her under control!" Luke blurted the cruel facts.Not being able to keep Vivian under their control was Nora's biggest concern.Luke walked to the balcony and gazed at the sky, crying."Grandpa, I'm useless. I didn't manage to sustain Lorimer Group. I hate myself for handing the company to an outsider."Vivian and Marcus, that loser, are getting along bette

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

Chapter 725 To Invite Us for a Simple Dinner
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

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.

Chapter 722 Special Art of Breathing
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.

Chapter 721 Their Instructor Is the Commander-in-Chief
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
