Rags to Riches Chapter 212 Another Bad News
"Emma, do you know that you have to pay a staggering amount of money in compensation for terminating the contract one-sidedly?" Jill asked furiously."What do you mean that it's a one-sided termination? Right now, it's your employee that has slandered Emma. He even said that he could represent Phisteele Corporation to terminate the contract. "And now you're demanding compensation? How funny. I'm telling you, we will never back down unless that brat apologizes to Emma sincerely."Emma's agency's unyielding stance was putting Jill in a tough spot. The male assistant simply hung up the call as he was wearing a smug expression. "Do I have to remind them how much Emma's net worth is? She's not someone a small fry can mess with."Emma smiled. "Speaking of that, I should be grateful to that security guard called Marcus. I thought I was going to lose some followers after admitting my mistake on the livestream. "Who knew that I was going to be showered with compliments? The number of m
Rags to Riches Chapter 213 National Treasure
Jill was on edge.Those influencers and celebrities obviously wished to terminate their contracts because of Emma's incident.It seemed like Emma was quite prominent in that line of work.Due to this, Phisteele Corporation's reputation hit rock bottom.Its latest product—the latest super auxiliary medical device—wasn't well-received in the market.Clients who had made bulk orders a few days ago contacted them to cancel the orders.Jill, who became the vice president not long ago, was driven into a corner because of this. If she couldn't stave it off, the latest super auxiliary medical device would be a fiasco.The large investment made would go down the drain.She was very frustrated that she couldn't do anything to Marcus, the cause of the series of events."Marcus, you're suspended for a week." Although Jill couldn't fire him, she could suspend him.Right now, she didn't want to see him at all. Out of sight; out of mind."Alright. I don't have a problem with it. I'm ab
Rags to Riches Chapter 214 I'm Here to Pick Father Johnny Up
Since both Vivian and Jill were still infuriated at the moment, Marcus decided to crash at Phisteele Corporation instead of returning home.After all, Elijah's presidential office was spacious enough to house all the necessities. Staying there was as good as staying at a five-star hotel.Elijah didn't leave the company."Have you confirmed the time Father Johnny's flight is going to land tomorrow?" Marcus asked.Elijah nodded. "Yes, sir. It's 10:00 am. He will show up on time at Northfort Airport. I believe that it'll be big news that he's coming over here."Actually, Marcus was the person who invited Father Johnny over. Despite not knowing much about business, Elijah could guess the reason behind the invitation.Elijah chuckled. "Jill is like a cat on hot bricks these days. I am worried about her. I thought you were testing her. I didn't know that you've made early preparations. Celebrities and influencers like Emma are nothing compared to Father Johnny."Marcus said, "That's
Rags to Riches Chapter 215 Father Johnny's Old Friend
As soon as Marius finished, the politicians and businessmen drew a sharp breath.Marius was basically declaring that he had invited Father Johnny over since he was the only individual who could do so as the richest man in Northfort.Still, Marius was surprised that Marcus didn't back down.Marcus said boldly, "I'll give you, the Pattersons, ten days' time. Ten days later, I want you to apologize to me in public. Otherwise, there's no need for your family to be in Northfort."Marius was baffled to hear that. He had been wielding power in Northfort for so many years, and no one had ever disrespected him, not even the people from the underworld.Yet, Marcus had the audacity to speak to him that way!Not even the governor dared to say that to Marius.The others were shell-shocked as well.After all those years, Marcus was the first to challenge Marius in public.Everyone let out a long sigh, inwardly exclaiming that Marcus had a death wish.Offending Marius was equivalent to be
Rags to Riches Chapter 216 Father Johnny Wants to Be the Ambassador
Marius shook his head immediately. "No. That's impossible! Father Johnny is a national treasure. Why would he be old friends with that brat?"Cherry said, "Grandpa, see that Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended? I noticed Phisteele Corporation's logo on it. I think the person who picked him up works for Phisteele Corporation. Marcus must've learned the news of Father Johnny's visit through underhanded means."Thinking about it, Marius deemed that she had a point. "Father Johnny is a national treasure. Even I have to personally welcome him at the airport. But Mr. Steele asked a driver to pick him up instead of coming in person. Father Johnny coolly accepted it too! I guess Mr. Steele has something up his sleeves," he said softly."You're right, Grandpa." She nodded. "The Northfort Chamber of Commerce couldn't do anything to Phisteele Corporation's acquisition of Rudd Corporation overnight. Not anyone could do that."Although Emma's contract termination has caused an uproar, I don't think th

Jill's heart surged to her throat when she saw her overwhelmed assistant stuttering.Jill recalled how Marcus drove Father Johnny away from the airport.Could it be that Father Johnny was in trouble?The issue with Emma's contract termination had yet to be resolved. If anything happened to Father Johnny, it would be a serious crisis for Phisteele Corporation!"What about Father Johnny?" Jill was on tenterhooks."Good news, Ms. Black!" The assistant finally collected himself. He could speak properly now. "Father Johnny has announced in front of the reporters that he's going to be our lifetime ambassador for the latest product for free!""How could this be?" She couldn't believe it. "Father Johnny is a national treasure. Why would he propose to be our ambassador, let alone become an ambassador for free forever?"She said angrily, "Sophia, stop joking around. This is a critical moment. Otherwise, you'll be fired."Even though Father Johnny went with Marcus, it didn't mean that Fat
Rags to Riches Chapter 218 Jill's Pursuit
Jill frowned after hearing his request.It wasn't easy to make Emma set aside her pride for reconciliation. His request might render the collaboration impossible!When Jill was going to make up for what he said, Emma bowed 90 degrees at him without hesitation.Emma said, "I'm sorry. It was all my fault!"Jill was dumbfounded when Emma really apologized to him.However, it somehow made sense.Father Johnny was now Phisteele Corporation's lifetime ambassador—under his own proposal—and it resolved the company's issues.Now that Father Johnny had unconditional faith in them, who would dare to doubt the company?Even Emma's supportive fans were fazed.Phisteele Corporation received orders worth over 100 million dollars within one minute, becoming the market leader in its industry."What did you do wrong?" asked Marcus casually."I shouldn't have terminated the contract one-sidedly." Noticing his disdainful gaze, Emma added, "As long as you're willing to resume the contract, I'm w
Rags to Riches Chapter 219 Talking Nonsense
This was especially so for Yvette and Michael. Their statuses in the Childe family had been elevated because of Zeke. Even Norman and Shirley had been nicer to them.But Lisa's bragging had allowed Marcus to steal their thunder. This made Yvette and Michael resentful."What's there to be proud of?" Yvette snapped, unable to stand Lisa bragging to everyone she met. "He was just a chauffeur for Father Johnny that one time. He wouldn't even have had the chance to do that if not for Phisteele Corporation!""Exactly!" Michael said. "But Zeke's not like that. He's a soldier who has the commander-in-chief's favor. He has a bright future ahead of him as a member of the commander-in-chief's personal troops!"He can see Father Johnny whenever he wants, unlike Marcus, who has to wait for others to give him the chance."Yvette's and Michael's words were well-received by the rest of the Childe family. Even Norman and Shirley couldn't take it anymore.Shirley said sternly, "Stop bragging about

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

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.

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!"
