Rags to Riches Chapter 12 Master
"However, the Lorimer family is relatively well-known in Cromford City, so the matter of the successor can't be decided on a whim. There's going to be a press conference next Tuesday regarding the re-establishment of the company's projects—I'll make the official announcement for my successor on that day!" With that, Nora turned and left the conference room.Luke sneered at Vivian and Marcus. "I'll show you two what despair truly feels like!"…"What? You managed to get 500 million dollars in investments?" Lisa Childe gaped at Vivian."Yes, I did! But that's beside the point, Mom. I won the bet, which means I'll soon be the next head of the Lorimer family!" Vivian sounded overjoyed. She felt like she could finally hold her head high."Has Madam Nora agreed to it?" Lisa looked doubtful."Grandma said she'll make the announcement next Tuesday, during the press conference!" Vivian answered firmly, making Lisa's heart settle in her chest. "That's great! Once you become the success
Rags to Riches Chapter 13 Are You an Idiot?
"M-Master?" The old man's words were akin to a bomb being detonated. It sent a shockwave rippling through the crowd, and Faye was especially stunned. Her eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. She'd just mocked Marcus for not being able to afford a tire, yet the owner of twenty Rolls-Royce Phantoms was addressing him as his master. Her face burned with humiliation.On the other hand, Vivian's mind was blank as she stared at Marcus in disbelief. "O-Old man, have you got the wrong person? This guy's nothing but a loser who only knows how to leech off us! How can he possibly be your master?" Faye forced out through gritted teeth. She couldn't believe what was happening.As soon as her words fell, the old man looked at her coolly and said, "Anyone who insults my master is courting death!"In that instant, Faye felt a chill run down her spine. It felt like the old man's gaze had come from the abyss; she had no doubt that he would murder her ruthlessly if she were to say a
Rags to Riches Chapter 14 The World
"A-All of them?" Even Yannis, who had a remarkable background, was so shocked that his voice trembled. Even if they took the lowest cost of 21 villas, it would still amount to 2.3 billion dollars!Compared to the former, Murray's reaction was much tamer since he had helped Marcus spend ten billion to acquire Globestone Investments in the past."Yep. I don't care how you do it, Murray, but I want the property ownership certificates for the 21 villas within the week," Marcus instructed pensively while he glanced at the calendar on his phone."Got it!" Murray replied without hesitation. He couldn't seem to ignore the knots in his stomach, however. His reaction was normal, since only the wealthiest families in Cromford occupied the villas of Hingbrook Hills. That was especially true for Pinnaclepoint Estate, the one at the highest point of Hingbrook Hills. Many even believed its current owner came from an exceptional background.… It was afternoon when Marcus finished assigning t
Rags to Riches Chapter 15 Visiting Hingbrook Hills
"What a joke! Oh, you crack me up so much! So, you want to make it up to her, huh? How will you do it if you can't even put food on the table for yourself and need Vivian to support you!" Faye held her stomach and laughed so hard that she almost cried. With a snort, she resumed, "You're even promising her the world? Hah! Do you think this is a romance movie or something? What an idiot!"Vivian's blank gaze remained on Marcus for the longest time, as if they were strangers. She never imagined her docile husband would dare promise to give her a better life in public. At once, a brilliant smile spread from one side of her cheek to the other. In truth, she didn't expect much of Marcus. All she wanted was for him to be more ambitious like the other men out there. "I'm happy as long as you work hard to prove yourself," she replied."Tsk! You spew such pretty promises, yet they're nothing more than empty words. I hear the Tender Moon necklace is getting auctioned right now. Didn't y
Rags to Riches Chapter 16 A Mysterious Person
"They intend to visit my future home? Did they even get my permission before planning that?" Marcus wondered, his features wrinkling in confusion."Why don't you join us? It's a rare opportunity since not everyone can visit the villas of Hingbrook Hills. You guys might never get this chance if not for my husband!" Zoe's face glowed proudly as she linked arms with Henry."Sure, I've always wanted to see that place with my own eyes!" Vivian was so excited that the words practically burst out of her mouth. She had dreamed of visiting Hingbrook Hills' villas since she was little, so there was no way she would let this golden opportunity slip away.Marcus agreed, too, deciding to view his newly acquired property today. The four soon arrived outside the main gates of Hingbrook Hills' residential area.There, a man with a round belly paced back and forth impatiently."Wait in the car. I'll go and greet the property caretaker real quick. Although we've shown up with two more people th
Rags to Riches Chapter 17 In Deep Trouble
"A-All of these villas? That must cost an enormous sum of money, right?" Zoe's eyes and mouth were agape.Even Vivian was in shock. She wondered how Marcus had heard of such news if she herself hadn't even known about it."Don't listen to him! Anyone intelligent knows better than to trust a loser like him. These villas cost more than a hundred million dollars each. I doubt anyone in Camron can afford such a price!" Henry snorted, thinking Marcus was lying to gain the women's attention. "Oh, Marcus. Here's a word of advice; you should be more honest—" He was halfway through his sanctimonious speech when he unknowingly leaned against a porcelain vase as tall as a human. Then, he lost his footing. A loud crash sounded as the vase shattered into many pieces. That wasn't the only issue; the other vases lined up behind it fell back like dominoes. One by one, the delicate vases smashed against the ground. Henry paled with every crash. By the end of everything, his ruddy complexion h
Rags to Riches Chapter 18 Someone Untouchable
Everyone fell into a dazed stupor at that moment.Even Henry and Zoe's brains went blank, and they wondered if they had misheard it. "Have you lost your mind, Marcus?" Vivian snapped while yanking the hem of Marcus' sleeve. At the same time, she mentally screamed at the thought of paying ten million dollars. Given her family's condition, Vivian could never afford to cover the compensation fees. As for the 500 million dollars of investment money, she had already put it into the company's funds, so her grandma would never let her touch a single dollar of it. The most crucial part was that today's incident wasn't her or Marcus' fault."Warner, this woman's a Lorimer family member and works in the Lorimer Group at Cromford. That guy's her live-in husband. The Lorimer Group has a wealthy background, so preparing ten million dollars is a piece of cake for them," Henry immediately explained to Warner. He couldn't care less if Marcus had admitted to the incident out of insanity or st
Rags to Riches Chapter 19 No One Else Is Worthy
"W-What do you want me to say …?" Marcus instinctively rubbed the tip of his nose, knowing he couldn't hide the truth from Vivian anymore.Vivian's jaw was set as she snarled, "Here's your last chance—will you tell me the truth?" "I swear I'm not hiding anything … Um. I-I'm going to take a shower now." At once, Marcus grabbed a fresh change of clothes and bolted for the bathroom. He refused to reveal the truth because the day after tomorrow was the 12th of March, their wedding anniversary. All his efforts to surprise her would be for naught if he came clean now."Ugh, you asshole!" Feeling utterly pissed off, Vivian stomped hard on the ground.…The next day, two shocking news updates shook all of Cromford.The first was that a mysterious bidder had bought the Tender Moon necklace at Riverton for a whopping two billion dollars.Aa for the second, an unknown magnate had acquired all the villas of Hingbrook Hills for five billion dollars.Whispers and excited chatter broke

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. 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.

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.

Chapter 719 I Am Stronger Than All Members of the Meranian Wolf List Top 100
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
