Rags to Riches Chapter 116 Vivian's Sacrifice
Even though Marcus and Vivian were married for three years, they slept in separate rooms.Thus, Vivian was still a virgin.He asked shamelessly, "Honey, should we … sleep together tonight?""What are you talking about? Who's gonna sleep with you? Pervert." Her cheeks flushed red."Why are you making my bed then?" The corner of his lips twitched."I … I …" Vivian was at a loss for words. She rebutted, "I'm your wife. Isn't it normal for me to help you make your bed?"He chuckled mischievously. "It is. But isn't it normal for a married couple to share a bed?" "You … I …" She was rendered speechless as her face turned beet red. "Stop joking around!" She threw the blanket on the bed and ran out of the room, flustered.Leaning against the wall, she could feel her heart almost jumping out of her chest.Marcus, who was left alone in the room, shrugged helplessly.He couldn't do anything about his bashful wife, but fortunately, they surmounted the divorce crisis.The night pass
Rags to Riches Chapter 117 You Have the Talent to Flex
Unlike the nine-year compulsory education plan, the Academy for Cromford Elites made an educational plan for each student based on their age and circumstances.So, they would be able to cultivate competent graduates in the most optimum period possible.That was why the academy accepted new students every month.Its minimum sponsorship was 50 thousand dollars. Although the amount differed for every student, it was certainly not cheap.After all, they had the best teachers worldwide.Besides, half of the annual intake of students in top universities like Dapeton University consisted of graduates from the Academy for Cromford Elites.Hence, elite families were willing to send their children to that academy despite the expensive sponsorship they needed to pay.As the Drakon, Marcus could easily settle the sponsorship.Even though that academy was an institution under the Pantheon of the Drakon, Marcus didn't want to reveal his identity yet.When he brought Leah to the academy, a l
Rags to Riches Chapter 118 A Two-faced Murphy Linden
"You're very arrogant, aren't you? Verify your black card? Can't you see that they're too busy to attend to you?" Lucille wanted to teach Marcus a lesson because of his stubbornness.She looked at those secretaries and drivers. "You, you and you, take this punk away. I can't believe someone can be this bold when he's only driving a cheap car."The people she pointed at didn't budge at her order, so she became fiercer. "What's the matter?"Do you want the children you serve to attend this academy? My husband is the vice chairman."All it takes is one word from me to ruin their campus life. When that day comes, your bosses will be blaming you guys."The secretaries and drivers broke into a cold sweat.Their jobs were to send the children to the academy. If anything bad happened to the children at school, they would be fired!They rolled up their sleeves, preparing to drive Marcus and Leah out."Get out of here, you punk!""Right. Look at your shabby clothes. What an eyesore.""
Rags to Riches Chapter 119 I Am the Incompetent Husband
Marcus snarled, "Let's not even mention how your wife skipped the line earlier. What about how she hit someone first? How dare you ask if I'm content after the fuss she caused?""That's right! It's rare to see a parent with such a great sense of justice like Mr. Coleman these days!""You must give Mr. Coleman a satisfactory explanation, Vice Chairman Linden! Otherwise, we won't agree!"That rendered Murphy speechless.The drivers and secretaries staring Lucille earlier instantly came to Marcus' defense. Murphy may be the school board's vice chairman, but he was nothing compared to the ultra-rich Marcus, who sponsored 100 million to the school in one go.Seeing the opportunistic group switch sides amused Marcus. He found it hilarious that everyone who criticized him was now supporting him. The scene was a perfect example of a double standard. Before Marcus said anything, Murphy frowned and spoke. "Mr. Coleman, you and Ms. Leah will never see my bratty son in this school again. Al
Rags to Riches Chapter 120 Taint Her Innocence
"Huh? Vivian is your wife?" Hunter was so startled that his legs gave in. With a loud plop, he landed on his knees and groveled. "Please spare my life, Mr. Coleman!" "Well? Tell me what you've done with my wife," Marcus questioned as his eyes narrowed to slits. Hunter and his subordinates couldn't live past tonight if anything terrible happened to Vivian."Don't worry, Mr. Coleman. Mrs. Coleman is fine!" Hunter said while quivering. "I just tied her up and didn't touch a strand of her hair. I planned to present her as a gift to you. I didn't realize …"Marcus' frown eased after hearing that. With a nod, he responded, "It had better be as you say. Otherwise, I doubt you can bear the consequences. "You mentioned that someone hired you to travel here from the capital and kidnap my wife. Tell me—who gave you that order?""Luke from the Lorimer family," Hunter admitted. He then told him the details of Luke's plans for Vivian."How dare Luke come up with such a vile plot? How dis
Rags to Riches Chapter 121 Breaking News
"Is everything ready?" Luke's brows raised with excitement when he received Hunter's call. "I'll head over at once. It's a lot of work cleaning up after all that sex. Allow me to do it."After the call ended, Luke asked Faye, "Have you asked the tabloids and reporters to be in position?"The latter smirked at him. "Don't worry, Luke! Vivian's going down this time!"Luke left for Regal Point Hotel in a hurry once he got a satisfactory response. He needed to murder Vivian and make it look like she had ended her life after getting sexually assaulted. After all, he wanted to do more than ruin her reputation. Only her death would make him feel at ease.He soon arrived and opened the door to room 8088, only to see something he didn't expect. The space was empty. It made him feel suspicious. That was when the door fell shut. A tall, burly man appeared behind Luke, and he gazed at the latter with unconcealed lust."W-Who are you?" Luke felt a little afraid."You look handsome, pretty b
Rags to Riches Chapter 122 A Member of the Pantheon of the Drakon
The Lorimer family members didn't expect Vivian to admit she had brought the client over. "He's waiting outside."Nora shot a doubtful look at her. "Vivian, you must speak only the truth as Lorimer Group's vice president. If you dare lie about this, you'll become unqualified and no longer suitable for this position.""I'm not lying, Grandma." Vivian chuckled, then pointed at the door. "See? The client is here."Luke glanced toward the door and saw Hunter walking in. His face paled at once.Marcus had planned this to defend Vivian against Nora's scheme.Hunter approached Nora before greeting the latter. "You must be Madam Nora, right? Your vice president has welcomed me graciously. As the inspector representing my company, I'm satisfied and pleased. We'll invest 500 million into Lorimer Group."That baffled Nora. "What?" Even Luke and Faye couldn't believe it. After all, Hunter was only one of the Dark Dragon's subsidiary teams' leaders. How did he become a wealthy investor who
Rags to Riches Chapter 123 You Don't Have the Right
Needless to say, Marcus knew that the Pantheon of the Drakon owned more than half of the wealth and power worldwide. As the Drakon, Marcus was one of the two individuals in Merania who had military and political authority at his disposal. The other individual was that person in the capital.Jonathan from the Northfort military region was an elite soldier cultivated by the Pantheon of the Drakon. He was named one of Merania's Four Monstrous Generals. Along with the other three—Sebastian Simmons, Oliver Undergrove, and Elijah Steele—he followed the former Drakon to war.As a result of their overpowering win, the over 40 neighboring countries dared not mess with Merania ever again.The luxury cigars and alcohol enjoyed by the Monstrous General were produced by a specialized department. The production quality was at a whole new level compared to those enjoyed by the normal higher-ups.Marcus had made up his mind. "Okay. I'll choose this for Vivian's grandmother's birthday prese

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

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.

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
