The men didn't wield weapons, but it was clear they were skilled in martial arts. Many of them looked like they'd killed in the past.Know-It-All looked haughtier than before now that the burly men were in the room. "Do you know why I'm still alive after offending many big shots in my line of work?"Because of them!" He looked proud. "These men started out as mercenaries, and they come from all over the world. All of them are strong enough to take on ten men in one go!"Even Terry Grant and Harvey Clinton wouldn't last more than three rounds against them!"Marcus knew Know-It-All wasn't bluffing. The mercenaries had been through battles to the death. There was no hiding the bloodlust and ruthlessness in them."Are you scared now?" Know-It-All smirked. "Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness if you know what's good for you. I'll consider letting you live if you do!""Scared?" Marcus chuckled and shook his head. "You know nothing about true power, Know-It-All."He glanced at El

"Find out where Mandy Lewis and Ned Fischer are right now," Marcus commanded.They'd seemingly decided to work for Rudd Corporation, but Marcus hadn't seen them at the meeting with the senior executives. They must've already left the company."Alright." Elijah got to work. As one of the Four Monstrous Generals, it was as easy as pie for him to track two regular individuals down. He soon returned."Did you find them?" Marcus asked.Elijah was all smiles. "You wouldn't believe what I found out. The world's a small place, you know. Do you remember Aurora Media? It's the first company that approached us for a collaboration after you acquired Rudd Corporation.""Of course." Marcus nodded. "They have good taste. Instead of waiting to see how things would play out, they had the foresight to try to suck up to me as soon as I acquired Rudd Corporation. Whoever owns the company isn't your average Joe."Then, something occurred to him. "Don't tell me …""Yup!" Elijah chuckled. "It's exactl

Ned and Mandy never would've expected someone to have recorded them scheming against Philip. The recording was obviously bad for their reputations.If it were to be exposed, they would immediately be subject to reproach and reprimand. And the police would also come after them. After all, there was new evidence to change the results of their investigation.Mandy looked at Ned frantically. Compared to her, Ned was much calmer.Still, he sucked in a deep breath with his brows tightly furrowed. After some thought, he said to Marcus, "Name your price!""My price?" Marcus was taken aback. "What's that supposed to mean?""I'll admit you were someone to look up to six years ago, Marcus. You established Morpheus Corporation on your own and turned it into the biggest contributor to Northfort's GDP. You were like a god to us." Ned didn't know Marcus was from the capital's Coleman family."You might be back now, but you can't deny that you're not the same man you used to be. I know you went

Ned paused here, then pushed Mandy toward Marcus. He smiled and asked, "What do you think of Mandy, Mr. Coleman? Would you consider her pretty?"Naturally, Marcus understood what Ned was thinking. He said calmly, "She has a pretty face and delicate features. She also has curves in the right places. Her fashion sense is impeccable, and she's good with a makeup brush."She'd make 99.9 percent of the men who walk past her turn back for a second look."It was precisely because of Mandy's beauty that Philip had been head over heels for her. He would've given his life for her if she'd asked.But why had Marcus said 99.9 percent? Because he was in the remaining 0.1 percent. As the Drakon who owned half the world's wealth and power, he'd seen his fair share of women. To him, Vivian was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.Ned was overjoyed to hear Marcus' words. He said to Mandy gleefully, "Look, Mandy! I told you Mr. Coleman would have nothing but good words for you!"Mandy's eyes f
Rags to Riches Chapter 182 Northfort Chamber of Commerce
This surprised Ned. Then, he gave Elijah an annoyed look. "Either get out of here to answer the call or hang up!"Elijah snickered. "I guess I'll hang up, then." As soon as he did, Ned's call disconnected. He didn't connect the dots, though. He tried dialing Elijah's number again.Elijah's phone rang again."Huh?" This time, Ned realized something was amiss. He instinctively cut the call. Sure enough, Elijah's phone stopped ringing.Ned dialed the number again. Elijah's phone rang for the third time …"Hold up." Ned walked over to Elijah. "Show me your phone!"Elijah did as told. The caller ID showed Ned's phone number.Ned stared at Elijah, looking stony-faced. Could he possibly be Mr. Steele? It couldn't be!Ned showed Mandy the number he'd just dialed and asked, "Mandy, are you sure this is Mr. Steele's number?""I'm positive." Mandy nodded confidently. "I made sure to check with Mr. Steele's secretary whether the number was correct because I was afraid of getting it wrong.
Rags to Riches Chapter 183 A Big Shot in Northfort
"So, Rudd Corporation's nothing but a pawn to the Coleman family." Marcus finally understood why Baldie Rudd had monopolized Northfort's economy so swiftly after acquiring Morpheus Corporation.The Northfort Chamber of Commerce had been the one pulling the strings. Northfort's three most powerful families had formed it—the Windward, Betelgeuse, and Sloane families.The Betelgeuse family held the position of the chamber's president, while the Windward and Sloane families were its vice presidents. The chamber had used Rudd Corporation as a front to control Northfort's economy.Rudd Corporation wasn't even comparable to the three families. The general public knew nothing of this, of course."It looks like the Northfort Chamber of Commerce has a lot to do with what happened in the past." Marcus smirked."Why don't we take this opportunity to get rid of them?" Elijah couldn't wait for the action to start."What's the rush? They're bound to slip up." Marcus shook his head. "Let's wait

"I have to say, it'd be an honor to meet someone like him," Walter said."I agree." Wade nodded. "I heard he only spent a day surveying the military region. After all, he's mainly here for rest and relaxation."I also heard about Northfort Airport being cordoned off some time ago. I'm guessing it had to do with him. I suppose Commander Zarr's the only one who's seen him in the flesh.""That's a pity." Something occurred to Xavier, and he turned to Wade. "Isn't your father a higher-up in the city government? He should be acquainted with Commander Zarr. Why don't you ask your father to speak to Commander Zarr and pull some strings?"That way, we might be able to meet this commander-in-chief.""Yeah!" Walter snickered. "Then, we can bring our granddaughters along to see whether any of them catch the commander-in-chief's eye. He can take any of them with him if he wants!""In your dreams!" Wade spat at Walter. But the look in his eyes was thoughtful. "Still, it's worth a shot. I thin
Rags to Riches Chapter 185 Paying Respects to Philip
"We're here, Marcus." A Jeep pulled up at Greenrest Avenue. Elijah was in the driver's seat. He pointed forward as he spoke to Marcus."Alright. Let's get out." Marcus nodded. He'd only brought Elijah with him instead of contacting Murray or Yannis. After all, the two of them thought having a Rolls-Royce entourage was the most low-profile way of traveling.Marcus wanted to genuinely maintain a low profile because he'd come to visit Philip's mother. At the entrance to Greenrest Avenue, he saw an old lady whose hair was completely white. She stood before a sauerkraut stall and skillfully shredded the cabbage.She stood out like a sore thumb, maybe because of her age or plain outfit. There weren't many people buying sauerkraut."Ma'am, can we have two portions of sauerkraut, please?" Marcus approached the old lady."Of course!" The old lady was still spirited and in good health despite being in her 70s. She smiled brightly when she heard Marcus wanted to buy sauerkraut. She grabbed t

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.

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!"
