"Sacrificing you guys in exchange for peace? It'll be worth it," Matilda and the others agreed.The Childes were obviously driving Marcus and Vivian to the edge.That was how things worked within a rich family.Once trouble came up, there was no such thing as "We're a family".Now that she had seen through the Childes' true colors, Vivian said coldly, "I'm the cause of it. I will take responsibility. Don't worry. I won't drag the family into this.""That's the best." The corner of Polly's lips twitched."Honey, I'll go with you," Marcus told Vivian.She nodded.While they were on their way to Childe Group, Marcus secretly texted Murray to inquire about Baldie's situation.Marcus initially assumed that the head of the family that took control of Northfort's economy would be working under the Pantheon of Drakon, but Murray's reply took him by surprise.Baldie was actually supported by the Colemans from the capital!Things were getting interesting.It seemed like the Colemans

"It's no wonder they appeared so calm when they were going to face Baldie. They have Terry and Harvey on their sides," Polly claimed.The Childes were aware that Terry and Harvey were hot shots from the underworld.Furthermore, Brad had personally contacted Harvey to obstruct Northfort Pinnacle Hotel's construction."It's no wonder why Harvey suddenly betrayed us. Harvey has Marcus and Vivian's back!" Matilda said."Crap! Since Marcus and Vivian have Terry and Harvey as their backers, Baldie won't hurt them for now. He might shift the blame onto us. They have Terry and Harvey on their sides, but what about us?" Yvette pointed out a serious problem.Everyone was anxious upon realizing that."I think Howard should pay Baldie a visit to show our stance. After all, Howard is an officer working in the ministry. "No matter what, Baldie has to take Howard's status into consideration before taking any actions," Luna suggested.Polly said helplessly, "I guess that's the only way out fo
Rags to Riches Chapter 163 A Bear-like Man
It was 11:00 pm, and it was bustling in Northfort Casino.On the road opposite Northfort Casino, there was a man with a physique and face that resembled a bear. His gaze held ferocity. He jumped over the barricades in the middle of the road, walking toward Northfort Casino.When Ted entered the casino, someone welcomed him, "Up for a game, sir?"He didn't answer the usher. Instead, Ted lifted him with one hand and threw him at a table that was placed in the middle of the casino.It formed a huge hole in the table, scaring the gamblers as they ran away."Call out your boss!" Ted shouted."Who's asking for trouble, huh?" The gangsters, who were on watch, surrounded Ted. "Haven't you heard who our backer is? How dare you cause a ruckus here!"As soon as that gangster finished, Ted carried him and tore him apart!"Someone's been murdered!""He killed a person!"A commotion was stirred in Northfort Casino.The gangsters retreated backward after witnessing how terrifying Ted was

"It was the perfect plan!" Matilda played along. "Too bad, you got caught.""I seriously wasn't planning to run away," Vivian explained. "If you think that I've taken the money away, you can check my bank account. See if there's a huge sum of money debited.""Vivian Lorimer, do you take us as fools?" Yvette chipped in. "Why would you transfer it to your personal bank account when you were planning to take such a huge sum of money away?""What do you want me to do to believe me?" Vivian was on the verge of crying."Give us the money back and resign from your position." Norman, who had been staying silent, spoke. "Vivian, we can settle this in peace within the family since you're my granddaughter. Of course, if you decide to foolishly fight for this for your personal gain, we can settle the matter in a professional manner."Hearing that, Marcus smiled. "You've finally shown your true colors. In short, you want her to resign from her position. Since she's the successor, all of you ca
Rags to Riches Chapter 165 Fatal Flaw
Lisa thought that Marcus was insane to restore a completely ruined surveillance footage within three hours.To her, he was basically gambling on her daughter's future."Vivian, don't worry. I previously got to know a capable hacker online. He's good with computers. He can easily restore any ruined footage," he told Vivian.Even though she didn't have much confidence about it, it seemed like that was a way they could try out for now.Marcus quickly contacted Murray. "I've sent you a ruined surveillance footage. Restore it as soon as possible at all costs. Remember, you have one hour."The Pantheon of Drakon owned half of the wealth and influence worldwide. Thus, it was easy for them to look for a professional IT engineer.Murray sent a restored surveillance footage back to Marcus within 15 minutes."You're fast!" Vivian was shocked by Marcus' efficiency."Let's check it out together." he smiled and opened the restored surveillance footage.Based on the surveillance footage, a c

"What do you mean by that, Marcus?" Polly was upset. Norman had already made it clear this matter was to be swept under the rug. Yet Marcus was being sarcastic. It pissed Polly off.Norman snorted and said, "My memory may be getting worse as I grow older, but no one's ever duped me in my years of doing business!""I wouldn't be too sure about that." Marcus shook his head. "You said you had Aunt Polly transfer the money to your personal account, right?"There's bound to be a record of the transaction and a notification of the change in your bank balance. I'd advise you to check whether you've received anything, Gramps.""That won't be necessary!" Norman snarled. "Polly's my eldest daughter, and I was the one who instructed her to do this. What could go wrong?""Exactly!" Polly piped up. "The way I see it, you're just trying to cause a scene and sow discord between us.""Who do you think you are, Marcus? Did you think a single sentence would make us believe you?" Howard growled.
Rags to Riches Chapter 167 Ted Dee
Lisa was almost beside herself with joy when they got home. She'd never liked Polly, so she loved that Polly had fallen from grace. It was as if the resentment she'd bottled up over the years had suddenly dissipated.And Marcus, who kept prodding and hinting to Norman, was a lot less annoying to her now. Lisa didn't know Marcus was behind all this, of course.Vivian was also in a great mood now that she'd been proven innocent. It didn't take long for her to throw herself into her work again.On the other hand, Marcus sent Jared a message asking to meet up. It had been three days since he'd left the Northfort military region. With his skills in investigation and tracking, he probably already had some news on Wanda.Marcus and Jared met at an abandoned house in Northfort's suburbs."How's the investigation on Wanda going?" Marcus asked."After three days of searching, I've managed to track her down," Jared answered. "She's arrived in Northfort and is coming for you. As for Terry's
Rags to Riches Chapter 168 The Grade S Martial Artist
"Once you die today, no one will be able to save him. Then I'll have the biggest chance of becoming the Coleman family's heiress!" Wanda didn't bother concealing her ambitions.The Coleman family was different from other wealthy families. Anyone could become the family's heir or heiress as long as they were capable.The current head of the family had two sons—one of them had leukemia, while the other was Marcus. Once Marcus died, the head of the family wouldn't have any more heirs.And there were few others in the Coleman family who were capable of leading the family. The odds were in Wanda's favor.That was why she'd decided to get rid of Marcus. Once she returned to the Coleman family, she would push the blame on Ted and say he'd lost control of himself."Sounds like a perfect plan." Marcus smiled. "It's too bad there's no telling for sure who'll die tonight.""One minute." This was the second thing Ted said.Wanda shrugged. She grabbed a glass of wine that had been placed on

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
