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, "
Rags to Riches Chapter 142 Who Is He
The two men were stunned. They didn't know what to do.Terry really had come to apologize to the brat. And it looked like he was terrified of the brat! What the hell was going on?"What are you two still standing there for?" Terry flew into a rage when he saw the two men standing there. "Get on your knees and beg Mr. Coleman for forgiveness if you want to stay alive!"Though the two men didn't know who Marcus was, it was obvious they couldn't afford to offend him. After all, even Terry was terrified of him.They fell to their knees with loud thuds. "We're sorry, Mr. Coleman. We shouldn't have mocked you like that!""If I hadn't been here, you two would've taken advantage of the lady, right?" Marcus sneered. "I can forgive you, but you need to show me you're really sorry.""Didn't you hear Mr. Coleman? Show him you mean it!" Terry growled.The two men were nervous. They didn't know what to do.Marcus gave Terry a look. "Don't tell me you want me to personally deal with them.""
Rags to Riches Chapter 143 Stop Acting so Familiar With Him
"He called the cops!" Emily was quick on her feet."The cops?" Mitchell snorted. "Is that it? I thought he went up against those two and saved you!" He couldn't help feeling smug after learning the cops had come.Thanks to this incident, Emily's interest in Marcus grew. She requested to sing a ballad with him.Mitchell wasn't happy about this. "It's not like he can sing, Emily. How about we sing it together instead?" He reached out to snatch Marcus' microphone."Who told you I can't sing?" Marcus didn't let him have his way. "You'll be surprised to learn that not only can I sing, but I can also sing better than everyone present!"Mitchell doubled over with laughter. "Sing better than everyone here? Who gave you the confidence to say something like that?"Well, if you're sure about that, how about we battle it out? If I lose, I'll foot the bill. You won't have to pay a dime!""Deal! I'm on your side, Marcus!" Emily immediately said.Now that she knew Marcus' secret identity, she
Rags to Riches Chapter 144 I’ll Marry You if You Get Divorced
Brenda didn't even realize she was a little jealous. She couldn't help feeling like Emily was especially enthusiastic toward Marcus after stepping out earlier. It was almost as if Marcus was her brother-in-law.Though Brenda genuinely looked down upon Marcus and felt he'd ruined Vivian's life, Emily's enthusiasm still made her feel like one of her belongings had been snatched away."Alright, alright. He's your brother-in-law!" Emily giggled.The group switched to VIP room no. 777. Once again, Marcus took everyone's breath away when he scored 10 out of 10.After that, they went to a regular private room. The result was the same.This pissed Mitchell off. He demanded to see the karaoke's owner. "There's something wrong with your sound system!"The owner had long since noticed them. After all, they'd gone from room to room. He shook his head at Mitchell's accusation. "Kingston Karaoke is one of Northfort's most prestigious entertainment centers."The sound system itself is worth 10
Rags to Riches Chapter 145 Craving Someone Out of Your League
"That's not funny." Marcus shook his head."And I'm not joking." Emily looked dead serious."Hey, hey, hey!" Brenda wasn't happy to see this. "Do you guys not see me here or something? You've really let me down, Emily. I think of you as my best friend, yet you're trying to make my brother-in-law cheat on my sister!""It's all in good fun." Emily knew where to draw the line. "You keep telling me about your mother wanting your sister to divorce Marcus, right? Don't tell me you're gonna miss having him around!""Of course not!" Brenda retorted."Alright, alright. I'll stop teasing you. I'm not even in Marcus' league, okay?" Emily giggled. But deep inside, she told herself she'd marry Marcus as soon as he and Vivian were divorced."Oh, right. Do you guys know where Cloudosphere is?" Marcus asked."Cloudosphere?" Brenda's eyes lit up. "That's Northfort's most expensive restaurant. You have to make a reservation before eating there. And the bill will come up to at least ten thousand d

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

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.

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.

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
