Rags to Riches Chapter 170 Disgrace
"Mom, Vivian, I'm home." Marcus walked in, looking happy. "I have good news for you. Rudd Corporation's been bought over, and Baldie Rudd's stepped down. You guys don't have to worry about him causing trouble for us anymore.""We heard about it ages ago." Lisa nodded at the TV. She grumbled, "Honestly, I don't know what you do every day. If not for Mr. Steele, who knows what would've happened to us?""I was out taking care of the problem." Marcus smiled."You?" Lisa sneered. "Are you trying to tell me you're the one who had Mr. Steele acquire Rudd Corporation?""Yep." Marcus looked serious."Yeah, right! If you were capable of that, Vivian wouldn't have to live her days in fear." Lisa looked scornful.Marcus chuckled. He didn't argue with her. Anything was fine as long as no one was harassing Vivian. Then, she could focus on the Ninepoint Corporation project.Vivian couldn't help feeling curious about Mr. Steele. Her gut told her he and Marcus had something to do with each other

Lester sighed at Lena's words."You've gone too far, Lena!" Marcus said angrily. "Look at Lester's condition! Since you already have the money, why won't you set him free? Do you just want to torture him?""Bingo! That's exactly what I wanna do." Lena had practically glued herself to Wendell."I'm gonna take Lena out for a meal and make her happy in the way she wants to be. Since you can no longer give her the life she wants, I'll do it for you. I'll fulfill your duties as her husband on your behalf. You should thank me for this!" Wendell laughed.Then, he looked at Marcus. "It's a small world, Mr. Coleman. Since I was lucky enough to bump into you here, why don't you join me? I'm meeting Jameson, Natalie, and Saul for a meal later. We can catch up."Wendell, Jameson, Natalie, and Saul were some of the people Marcus had had high hopes for. Back in the day, he'd planned on giving them more responsibilities to train them before promoting them.But things had gone wrong before he ma
Rags to Riches Chapter 172 The Gathering
Wendell's gathering was being held at Kingsley Grand Hotel's private room no. 888.Kingsley Grand Hotel was second only to Ninepoint Corporation's five-star hotel, which was still under construction. It was currently the most luxurious hotel in Northfort and was the top choice for high society and Northfort's elite to gather.For instance, private room no. 888 required a deposit of several thousand dollars just for a reservation. At this moment, a few men in sharp suits greeted each other as they headed to the private room."It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, Jameson. You look even more spirited than before!""What's that about, Natalie? Don't tell me you've fallen for him!""Fuck you! Even if I were interested, he's already taken!""Bah, you can always be his secret lover. I'm sure he wouldn't have any issue balancing you and his wife!""Damn you, Saul. Don't you have anything better to say?"Jameson, Natalie, and Saul were ragging each other. They were

Marcus glanced at the bottles of vodka and sneered to himself. They were trying to show him who was boss, huh?Jameson felt even more smug when he saw that Marcus wasn't moving. He deliberately put on a displeased look and said, "What's wrong, Mr. Coleman? You're not trying to upset us all, are you?"The others snickered. They couldn't wait to see Marcus make a fool of himself.They hated him to the core because they'd misunderstood his intentions. Marcus had wanted to train them and make them gain more experience, but they thought he'd been sabotaging them.Now that they knew Marcus wasn't doing well, they wanted to humiliate him."Why would I do that?" Marcus looked calm. "Three shots, right? I'll drink them.""I'll pour the vodka for you, Mr. Coleman." One of the young ladies present couldn't stand their bullying. She grabbed one of the shot glasses.But Jameson stopped her and glared at her. "Mind your own business! Mr. Coleman is a generous man. And generous men only drink
Rags to Riches Chapter 174 Mr. Steele
Marcus was deeply disappointed by Wendell, Jameson, Natalie, and Saul. Fortunately, Sophie made him feel there was still some hope. He decided to give her a shot.Sophie shook her head listlessly. "But I've already been fired.""Who told you that?" Marcus smiled. "Trust me and act like nothing happened today. Go to work tomorrow; you'll be in for a surprise!"Sophie nodded. "Alright. I'll trust you!"Though she was only meeting Marcus for the first time, she couldn't help trusting him.Marcus returned to Imperial No.1. He'd just stepped inside when Lisa swung a broom at him."You worthless piece of shit! Quit causing trouble for Vivian!" She ran after him while hitting him with the broom. "You have to get a divorce this time!""Mom, what nonsense are you spouting this time?" Vivian was sitting on the couch. She didn't look pleased.Marcus dodged Lisa. "Yeah, Mom. What's going on?""I can't believe you have the nerve to ask me!" Lisa fumed. "Take a look for yourself!" She shove
Rags to Riches Chapter 175 The Actual Boss
The senior executives applauded as soon as Elijah's words fell."Welcome to Rudd Corporation, Mr. Steele!" Wendell immediately started sucking up to him. The rest quickly followed.Elijah chuckled and waved a hand. "There's something else I need to say. I might have acquired Rudd Corporation and become its chairman, but I'm not the boss. Like everyone else, I'm just an employee."I just happen to be luckier in the sense that my position is above all of yours. Still, the actual boss is someone else!""What?" Everyone was stunned.Rumor had it Elijah was a mogul from Easton. Yet here he was, saying he wasn't Rudd Corporation's actual boss. It was imaginable how powerful the person behind him was!"The actual boss is also here at Rudd Corporation's headquarters for today's meeting. He wants to meet all of you." Elijah glanced at his Vacheron Constantin for the time. "It's almost time. He should be here any second."At this moment, the conference room's doors swung open. Everyone's

Natalie was even worse than him. She collapsed to her knees, scraping them as she went. Still, that didn't save her from the sewage.The four of them were dripping wet and stinky. Everyone in the conference room was disgusted by them."From now on, Wendell Lott, Jameson Guthrie, Natalie Zone, and Saul Hurley are fired," Marcus said coldly. "If you four dare to show your faces in Northfort again, I won't let you off this easily."His words were enough to determine Wendell and the others' fates. Rudd Corporation practically had a monopoly over Northfort's economy. To them, it was as easy as pie to get rid of someone, let alone Marcus, who'd acquired the company overnight.Because of this, Wendell and the others didn't dare disobey him. "Thank you, Mr. Coleman!" They fell over themselves, thanking him for his kindness.They didn't even dare to claim their salaries. They ran out of the building, jumped into their cars, and left Northfort without a second glance."I also have another

Club Ecstasy in Northfort was Know-It-All's usual hideout.Marcus and Elijah headed there and managed to meet with him. But because they hadn't had a prior appointment, Know-It-All didn't know what sort of information they were after.Still, he welcomed every visitor with open arms as long as they could pay the price."You don't look like you're from around here, gentlemen." Know-It-All appraised them with a smile. "You're not locals, are you?"Marcus curled his lip. "Don't tell me you treat local and foreign customers differently.""Well, no." Know-It-All chuckled. "The whole of Northfort knows I welcome all customers! Provided you can pay the price I ask, of course.""Don't worry about that." Marcus nodded. "We won't disappoint you since we came knocking on your door.""Wonderful! I love working with people like you, who don't beat around the bush." Know-It-All clapped his hands. "Now, what sort of information are you after?"I have records on everything that's happened in No

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

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.

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
