Rags to Riches Chapter 134 He’ll Come Down Here to Beg Us
"I'll be frank with you—Mr. Caraway and I have already come to an agreement. His boss even called to say that they're gonna award John and me the tender! Stop dreaming, Vivian." Shannon felt incredibly smug."People really have to know their place and what they're capable of. You said he'll come down here to beg you for forgiveness? Who do you think you are?" Howard piped up.Marcus immediately understood from Shannon's words that Francis must've misunderstood Murray. He had the wrong people.And so he sent Murray another text. When Murray heard about Francis misunderstanding him, his soul almost left his body. He quickly called Francis to give him a scolding."The people from Childe Group that I wanted you to meet with were Vivian Lorimer and Marcus Coleman! Not Shannon Zaffino and her Alvarian husband!"I'll give you one minute to head downstairs and apologize to Vivian and Marcus. But I have no control over whether they choose to forgive you!""What?" Francis was taken aback
Rags to Riches Chapter 135 Who Gave You the Right
Marcus met Brenda at Northfort Airport's arrival hall. She wasn't alone, though. She had a friend with her. She was equally young and vivacious.She wore shorts that showed off her long legs. People couldn't stop staring at her."Why are you here alone, Marcus? Where's Vivian?" Brenda pouted when she saw Marcus was alone."She's busy preparing for Ninepoint Corporation's tender, which is due in a week. She didn't have time to come to pick you up." Marcus looked at her friend. "Is this your classmate?""Yup. Pretty, isn't she?" Brenda giggled. "You're practically looking down her shirt, you creep. I'm gonna tell Vivian about this!"What had started as an innocent conversation ended up becoming perverse."Uh …" Marcus couldn't help feeling resigned. Brenda was such a brat."Hi, I'm Emily Stone. I'm Brenda's roommate." Emily took the initiative to introduce herself. Then, she leaned close to Brenda. "Your brother-in-law's pretty handsome.""You call this handsome? He's no match fo
Rags to Riches Chapter 136 Is It My Age or Have Times Changed
"Why are you still standing there? Kick him out of here!" Reina snarled at the bodyguards."I'd like to see you try!" Marcus roared. "The place is cordoned off, is it? I'll show you worthless celebrities what it truly means to cordon a place off!"He whipped out his phone and called Jonathan. "I'll give you ten minutes to cordon off Northfort Airport, Commander Zarr.""Man, look at him! He's calling for backup!" Reina mocked. "Commander Zarr, my ass. No commander is gonna save you!"At this moment, Zac walked out of the restaurant. He asked Reina, "What's going on?""This dude's causing a scene." Reina curled her lip. "He's just a madman. He actually told me that he's gonna have the airport cordoned off. God, he's hilarious.""Looks like he's all brawn and no brain." Zac looked at Marcus disdainfully, then waved a hand. "Deal with this as soon as possible. We're on a tight schedule."When Marcus heard their conversation, he roared, "I'll give you five minutes to get to the airpo
Rags to Riches Chapter 137 Marcus' Secret Identity
Brenda knew very well what Marcus was capable of. She didn't take his words to heart.Though Marcus had promised to get them the autograph and photo, he didn't know much about celebrities. He was starting to regret not asking Zac for his phone number.Then, he thought of someone who could help. He called Murray. "Murray, do you know which entertainment agency Zac Locke belongs to?""Starlight Entertainment. It's one of Merania's four largest entertainment agencies, and it belongs to the Pantheon of the Drakon," Murray said."One of ours?" Marcus narrowed his eyes. "Now, that's interesting. Contact Zac and tell him to come to see me!"Murray didn't yet know about what had happened at the airport. He called Zac and told him the entertainment agency's boss wanted to see him."He's here at Northfort Airport?" Zac was a little surprised."That's great!" Reina's eyes lit up. "This is our chance to get revenge, Zac!""Huh?" Zac didn't understand what she meant."That guy from earlier
Rags to Riches Chapter 138 Based on Expertise and Skill
"You're actually a paparazzo, right?" Brenda giggled. "Celebrities are terrified of paparazzi!""Uh …" Marcus secretly sighed in relief. "Yeah, I'm a parttime paparazzo. I do it when I'm not doing food deliveries. Am I amazing or what?""Yeah, super amazing." Brenda curled her lip. "So amazing that Zac doesn't even dare to offend you. I bet he's afraid of you going rabid and spreading rumors about him online!"Marcus was lost for words. Then again, he'd rather be a paparazzo than have his identity exposed.He was the almighty Drakon, but this wasn't the right time for people to know that."Do you secretly take many photos of celebrities?" Brenda turned to Emily and teased, "We have to watch out when we go to sleep. We can't let the paparazzi catch us."Marcus was lost for words again. After taking Brenda and Emily back to the Childe residence, he went to look for Vivian.She was busy preparing for Ninepoint Corporation's tender. It was just how she was. Either she didn't do some
Rags to Riches Chapter 139 Make Vivian a Figurehead
Silence descended upon the venue with Francis' arrival."Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for making the time to be here today." He swept a gaze over the crowd. "Ninepoint Corporation will be investing one billion dollars in Northfort. This money will be used for the construction of a five-star hotel."So far, we've received strong support from the Northfort government and everyone present. And so, we've decided to pick a Northfort company to handle the hotel's construction.Francis smiled. "I'm sure everyone agrees Northfort is full of skilled personnel and companies. That's the reason for today's tender. Our chairman, Mr. Murray Fletcher, is also here today to show how important this project is to us. Now, let's welcome Mr. Fletcher!"The crowd burst into a round of applause when they heard Murray was there. Murray walked on stage and waved at the gathered businessmen.Marcus scanned the crowd. He saw Vivian's uncles and some small companies. But none of Northfort's first-rat
Rags to Riches Chapter 140 Your Bluffing Has Gone Too Far
"Turn Vivian into a figurehead? Now that's a good idea!" Michael's eyes lit up. "C'mon, tell us what you have in mind!""It's simple. You know the Brenner family, right? It's a family in Northfort that's on the cusp of becoming a first-rate family. The head of the family is my teacher."His son is past thirty but still unmarried. My plan is to introduce Vivian to him. Once they get married, I'll have another bond with the Brenner family. It'll be as easy as snapping my fingers to make Vivian a figurehead then!""But isn't Vivian already married to Marcus?" Michael didn't get it."Do you think a loser like Marcus deserves to be married to Childe Group's vice president?" Howard snickered."It's easy enough. I heard the Lorimer family detests Marcus and has demanded Vivian divorce him several times. It just hasn't happened because Vivian refuses to go through with it.""If she refused to divorce him then, why would she do it now?" Shirley shook her head."Let me finish, Mom. Things
Rags to Riches Chapter 141 Have Terry Apologize to Me
The other club members also started laughing. They obviously thought Marcus was joking."I'm not bluffing." Marcus shook his head. "It's not every day that you run into friends like this, so have all the fun you want. I'll foot the bill.""You'll foot the bill?" This amused Mitchell.Marcus nodded. "Yeah.""Alright, then. We won't hold back!" Mitchell snickered. He was ready to burn a hole into Marcus' pocket. Marcus wouldn't be able to pay when it was time to settle the bill. Then, he'd humiliate himself before Emily.Mitchell was smug at the thought of his plan.The group entered Kingston Karaoke. Mitchell immediately went for the VIP room no. 888. The minimum amount that customers had to spend here was five thousand dollars.After entering the VIP room, he ordered some XO and even a bottle of 1982 Lafite. As for fruits and food, he obviously picked the most expensive things on the menu.Marcus didn't look bothered by this, but Emily couldn't stand it. She said to Mitchell, "

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

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

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

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.

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.

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
