Rags to Riches Chapter 124 Top Secret
"Mr. Hendrix, that's him!"The security guard, whose pistol was disassembled, pointed at Marcus. "This man is extremely dangerous. He might be a drug dealer or terrorist who has sneaked into the country!"Anakin Hendrix, who had a higher position than the security guards, sized Marcus up.The bullet wounds on Marcus' body were indeed a horrifying sight to behold.However, Anakin didn't sense any hint of danger from Marcus."Sir, please show us your ID. We need to verify your identity," said Anakin."No problem." Marcus handed his ID card to Anakin.The latter passed it to one of his subordinates. "Verify it."A minute later, the subordinate whispered into his ear."Top secret? Are you sure?" His expression changed when he heard that.The subordinate nodded firmly. "Yes. Mr. Hendrix, We've encountered someone whose identity is beyond our imagination."Since I've tried to access top-secret information, I'm sure the National Security Agency will come for an interrogation soon."
Rags to Riches Chapter 125 Honor
Even after they arrived at Northfort in time, Vivian couldn't believe that everything was real.They got out of the monorail.Vivian spoke to Marcus, "Marcus, mind explaining?" He glanced at Lisa before chuckling. "If I say that the railway station is mine, would you believe me?""It's really yours?" Lisa showed excitement.But she snorted coldly when she realized that she failed to control her emotions. "If you're this capable, you wouldn't have been a loser that relied on Vivian."Well, it's possible that you've found that mysterious billionaire. Because only a billionaire is able to do this.""Yup. I did contact the mysterious billionaire," Marcus admitted.She said smugly, "See? I knew it. A loser like you isn't that capable. But this proves how much the mysterious billionaire cares for Vivian."Marcus, you can never be as capable as he is. If you know your place well, you should leave Vivian yourself.""Mom, not again!" Vivian was ashamed.Marcus found it hilarious bec
Rags to Riches Chapter 126 Is It Marcus
Polly snapped, "How could you make this kind of joke? Lisa, could you teach your matrilocal son-in-law some manners? This is rude."The other three Childe sisters didn't interrupt, waiting for the show to unfold.Feeling humiliated, Lisa glared at Marcus. "Shut up, Marcus. No one would have said anything if you'd just stayed still and kept quiet."Marcus shrugged his shoulders, unbothered by the ignorant people.Maisie Lane, Yvette's daughter, made a call before announcing, "My boyfriend told me that he's going to take a day off and come over to celebrate Granny's birthday."As for Colonel Samson, my boyfriend will give it a try by inviting him over. After all, it's not easy to invite someone like Colonel Samson.""True. Let's leave it to luck." Howard nodded approvingly."It's best if he can come, but we can't possibly force him over if he can't," Brad said.Steven said, "Yeah. It is an honor that Maisie's boyfriend is able to come."After all, Maisie's boyfriend was a sergea
Rags to Riches Chapter 127 Birthday Presents
After all, among the Childe sisters, Lisa's family was the only family that had yet to show off their connections.It was Shirley's 60th birthday party. Yet, Lisa brought only Vivian and Marcus along.The fact that she didn't bring the other Lorimers displeased Shirley and Norman.Although the Childes weren't as well-off as the Lorimers, they were still considered a prestigious family in Northfort.Now that all eyes were on him, Marcus coolly admitted, "Yeah. I invited them over."While the four uncles were immersed in the discussion, Marcus had secretly sent Jonathan a message.Marcus requested Jonathan to bring Gary along to Shirley's birthday party.Brad mocked him. "Stop bragging already! I think they came because of Zeke. Colonel Samson must've rushed over here after finishing his important mission."Look. Commander Zarr has come as well. We can clearly tell how much the leaders in Northfort favor Zeke."The guests gave it some thought, concluding that he indeed made sens

Lisa got more flustered in the face of Luna's question.At first, Lisa thought that she could shine during the birthday party.However, Luna had given a present of higher value, winning over Lisa so easily.At that moment, the butler announced, "Next up, it's two high-grade truffles and two high-grade morels from Madam Lisa, Madam Vivian, and Mr. Marcus."Hearing that, Luna burst into laughter. "Lisa, say, are you and your family here to be clowns? Why did you copy me?"Steven couldn't help but mock her. "We gifted Mom premium-grade truffles and morels, but you guys gifted her only high-grade ones? Do you look down upon Mom and Dad that much?""No! It's not like that!" Lisa waved her hands. Looking down upon Norman and Shirley was no different than committing a crime!As the eldest sister, Polly snapped, "Lisa, it's not like I want to lecture you, but show some sincerity while preparing Mom and Dad's gift."Look at what you've done. They're merely high-grade morels and truffl
Rags to Riches Chapter 129 At Anytime
"Who says that I'm hiding? I just went out to prepare Granny and Grandpa's birthday present." At this moment, Marcus' voice could be heard coming from the gates.He was holding a black plastic bag, which made everyone present dubious."Is this the present you prepared?" Luna pointed at the black plastic bag."Yeah." Marcus nodded.She laughed. "Everyone, look at Lisa's son-in-law's grand present. He's so different from us!"Steven chuckled. "Are they fruits? Or maybe some vegetables?" "I bet it's his hometown's specialties." Alice laughed. Indeed, the black plastic bag in Marcus' hand was nothing special. It was no different from the plastic bags found in supermarkets. It gave off the impression that he lacked sincerity.After all, all of the gifts were either exquisitely packaged or expensive.Lisa, who couldn't put up with it anymore, scolded Marcus. "Ridiculous. When will you ever learn what decency is? If you can't buy a decent gift, don't give anything to them! S
Rags to Riches Chapter 130 Blind Judgments
All eyes were on Marcus again.There was a truck that came from the Northfort military region, and it was filled with boxes of cigars and alcohol!Everyone could easily guess that they were luxury cigars and alcohol specially provided in military regions!Norman and Shirley exchanged looks, thinking, "Is this brat really this powerful? If so, Lisa's matrilocal son-in-law indeed wields huge authority! He must have been hiding his influence all along!"The guests were equally curious about the situation as well.Lisa couldn't help but ask, "Marcus, did the truck really come at your request?""Yup," Marcus answered."Let's go check it out." Norman and Shirley walked out of the Childe residence.There was a military truck at the gates. A few soldiers were unloading the boxes of the truck.One of them was Zeke.An observant Maisie saw him immediately. She called happily, "Zeke!" Howard gaped at the truck. "It is a military truck full of luxury cigars and alcohol!"As someone wh
Rags to Riches Chapter 131 Winner-Takes-All
Though Norman said he wouldn't hold Marcus responsible, it was obvious he was offended. Lisa, Marcus, and Vivian were seated at the table furthest from Norman and Shirley.It was almost at the entrance to the Childe residence. The other occupants of the table were children.The disparity between Lisa and her sisters' treatment was huge. It made her tremble with rage.She took it out on Marcus. "It's all your fault that we're in this predicament!"Vivian stood up for him. "Mom, this is fine. At least we don't have to listen to their mockery and insults."She could smell her aunts' and uncles' hostility as soon as they arrived."Exactly." Marcus chuckled. "At least we can have a peaceful meal."Lisa glared at him. She grew even more upset when she saw her sisters' husbands toasting her parents. She didn't even have the chance to approach them! This was so humiliating!After a round of toasts, Norman stood up and swept a gaze over the guests. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to tak

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

Chapter 724 They're the Ones Who Invited Us to Dinner
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. You should know that Chief Commander Wall would not send an incapable person or someone from

"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
