Rags to Riches Chapter 217 An Influential Existence
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
Rags to Riches Chapter 220 Expose Him in Public
Everyone recognized the old man—it was Father Johnny!Norman, Shirley, and the rest of the Childe family were flabbergasted. They never would've expected Father Johnny to really show up at the Childe residence!"Why are you guys just sitting there?" Marcus walked forward. "You're not gonna keep Father Johnny standing at the door when he's such an esteemed guest, are you?""Huh?" Norman and Shirley were the first two to return to their senses. They hurried forward and said enthusiastically, "It's such an honor to have you at our home, Father Johnny!""Go on, invite him in!" Shirley said."Yes, yes. Step inside, Father Johnny!" Norman was excited, which was rare for his age."There's no need to be so polite, Mr. Childe." Father Johnny smiled and turned to Marcus. "Let's go in together, buddy!"Though Father Johnny was more than a century old, Marcus, as the Drakon, was still worthy of being regarded as his equal. And Father Johnny didn't disappoint.And so, Marcus and Father John
Rags to Riches Chapter 221 Be His Wife
Howard's words made Jill feel humiliated. When he saw the change in her expression, he knew his tactic had worked. Feeling smug, he continued, "I hope you don't think I'm overstepping, Ms. Black."But the way I see it, something as important as treating Father Johnny to a meal should've been handled by someone of your status. Yet you, as Phisteele Corporation's vice president, knew nothing about him coming over to the Childe residence for dinner."That's crossing the line, I think!"Jill obviously agreed with him. She bit her lip and shot Marcus a hostile look. She snarled, "Can you tell me what's going on here, Marcus?" She didn't like Marcus to begin with, so this was a good opportunity to tell him off.Jill didn't give Marcus the chance to speak. "Honestly, I don't understand how you can be so bold. Don't you know how important Father Johnny is? Since he's in Northfort, Phisteele Corporation has a responsibility to ensure he's safe at all times."How dare you ignore the company
Rags to Riches Chapter 222 Wishful Thinking
Jill had been abroad for many years and had grown into the habit of being blunt. She expressed herself boldly and didn't hold back.Father Johnny couldn't help laughing at her words. He almost spat his drink out. He knew very well that Marcus was Phisteele Corporation's secret boss. He glanced at Marcus meaningfully."Honestly, could you stop thinking so highly of yourself?" Marcus curled his lip, sounding exasperated. "I already told you our boss is married. Forget about your fantasy!""He's not married just because you say he is," Jill retorted. "Don't tell me you're trying to lie about being the secret boss again. I'm sick of hearing that!"Besides, so what if he's married? That doesn't mean he can't get a divorce. Someone as beautiful and amazing as me would be more than worthy of being his wife!"Marcus was lost for words. She was out of her mind.Vivian glared at her. "How can you wish for someone to get divorced?"Jill giggled. "That's the only way I'll stand a chance!"
Rags to Riches Chapter 223 Acting Shamelessly
The contract for the acquisition had been reviewed and agreed upon by both parties before this, so Jill didn't go through it again. She picked up the pen and got ready to sign it.Marcus stood behind her and saw the pleased look on Joe's face. He hid it well, but Marcus didn't miss it. He immediately reached out to stop Jill. "Ms. Black, maybe you should review the contract once more."Jill was about to say something when Joe glared at him. He said crossly, "You're only one of Ms. Black's subordinates. Do you think you have the right to tell her what to do?"When he saw Jill hesitating, he continued, "We've already been through this contract, Ms. Black. Don't tell me you're suspecting me of pulling something funny. Isn't there any trust between us?"At his words, Jill immediately said, "Of course I trust you, Mr. Samuels!" After all, she'd met with him a few times and felt he was pretty trustworthy."No!" To Jill's surprise, Marcus was insistent. "Ms. Black, it's always better to
Rags to Riches Chapter 224 Acquiring the Plant for Five Million Dollars
Jill couldn't help feeling like Marcus could somehow predict Phisteele Corporation's future and prevent anything bad from happening. She thought about how he kept saying he was the secret boss. Could he be telling the truth?No, it couldn't be. It was impossible! Jill quickly returned to her senses and shook her head. If Marcus really were the secret boss, how could he be the Lorimer family's matrilocal son-in-law?He must've won the secret boss' favor under some special circumstances. That was why he knew the secret boss' decisions.Yes, that had to be it.Marcus had no idea what was going through Jill's mind. He couldn't help feeling taken aback when he heard Octavius' name. He knew Octavius was one of Wallace's godsons. But as far as he remembered, Octavius had always been relatively nice to him.Even when the Coleman family had sent assassins after Marcus in the past, Octavius hadn't participated in the hunt. He'd chosen to sit on the fence. It was the main reason Octavius had

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. "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
