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
Rags to Riches Chapter 225 A Medical Incident
"Phisteele Corporation's new and improved super auxiliary medical device may have taken over the market share for our older model, but that doesn't mean they've won the war. We can do this …" The effeminate man smiled creepily. He leaned close to Octavius and whispered in his ear.Octavius' frown disappeared when he heard the man's plan. He couldn't help clapping his hands. "That's a great plan, Mr. Tiller! If we succeed, Phisteele Corporation will be ruined!"…To Marcus' surprise, Jill offered to buy him dinner after work. And the fact that he'd picked Vivian up to join them further improved her impression of him. She supposed there was a reason why Vivian was so defensive of him despite him being a matrilocal son-in-law.During dinner, Jill told Vivian about what had happened during the plant's acquisition. The latter gave Marcus a meaningful look.Jill asked, "Marcus, how did you figure out there was someone behind Joe Samuels?"Marcus rolled his eyes. "Anyone with a modicum
Rags to Riches Chapter 226 Tricks and Plots
At Phisteele Corporation, Jill was in a panic. She couldn't sit still. The new and improved super auxiliary medical device was newly launched. Its future had looked bright. Yet something so terrible had happened at this juncture.Jill couldn't help lamenting this bout of misfortune. She wanted to discuss a plan to deal with this with Elijah, but it turned out he was on a business trip. He wouldn't be back for days.She couldn't wait for him to return before dealing with this. Phisteele Corporation would be dead meat by then! Then, she thought of someone—Marcus. But to her dismay and annoyance, Marcus had taken the day off.Unbeknownst to her, Marcus and Elijah were investigating things at the private hospital."The patient's records show they were using our new super auxiliary medical device for their treatment. But I can't help feeling it wasn't actually our device being used during the treatment itself." Marcus scanned the device. Something was amiss somewhere.The device had be

Edmondo played with his pocket watch and said cheerily, "Everyone in the industry knows Stan Wolfe's as righteous as they come and stubborn as a mule. Almost every investigation he handles turns out to be an ironclad case. There's no way of overturning the decision."And now that all the evidence points to Phisteele Corporation, there's no hope for Marcus!""Good job." Octavius nodded. "If Marcus thought he could start again with Phisteele Corporation, he's dead wrong. I'm sure my godfather would be proud of me once he hears I've managed to take Marcus down."At the very least, I'll be a shoo-in for the heir of the Coleman family's branch in Prudence County!""And to lend you a hand with that, I'll head to the city council later to make a report to the special task force right to Marcus' face. I'll fan the flames and make sure the special task force knows exactly what Marcus has done. He'll be in jail in no time!" Edmondo said."That's fantastic!" Octavius' eyes flashed. "You're t
Rags to Riches Chapter 228 Something’s Happened to Father Johnny
Go through it again? Edmondo's heart jolted. What was Marcus playing at?Still, Edmondo was confident that even the world's best hacker wouldn't be able to restore the footage he'd wiped. That way, it was as if his switching of the devices hadn't even happened.The surveillance footage would only serve to drive home the fact that Marcus and Phisteele Corporation had murdered a patient. Edmondo felt gleeful at that thought.He'd had to spend some money to hire someone to tamper with the footage and buy someone at the hospital out. But the way he saw it, it was worth it."Hmph, you're still refusing to admit to your crimes!" Edmondo looked scornful.Stan, Lee, and Monty looked confused, but since this was Marcus' only request, they allowed it.The start of the surveillance footage was exactly like the one the three inspectors had seen at the hospital. It was long and boring. But when they got to the middle, things started becoming odd.A man who looked identical to Edmondo appeare
Rags to Riches Chapter 229 Bartemius Decides Whether Northfort Is Peaceful
"Don't panic. Tell us what happened," Marcus said to the assistant.She told them everything she knew. Father Johnny had been seeing patients daily at the clinic at Northfort Hospital. He was a nationally accredited naturopathic doctor, but he only charged ten dollars for a consultation. Almost all patients could afford it.Besides, his reputation preceded him. The public loved him. And that was why there were long lines of people wanting to see him.Father Johnny was a proficient doctor and had an excellent bedside manner. The people who came to see him had a deep respect for him and lined up properly. Despite the long lines, no one tried to cut the queue.But that morning, a young man had arrived at Northfort Hospital in a Mercedes-Benz S Series. He didn't even pay the consultation fee, choosing instead to barge to the front of the line to speak to Father Johnny.Father Johnny had said angrily, "You have to get a number and line up if you're here for a consultation."The young
Rags to Riches Chapter 230 Taking Them Down a Peg
"You managed to invite Father Johnny over?" Anthony knew his son well. Taylor had grown up as a bully and didn't have a skill he could fall back on. Yet no one dared to do anything to the grandson Bartemius doted on."As far as I know, even the wealthy families in the capital have to get a number and line up if they want to see Father Johnny. They're not given preferential treatment," Anthony said. "He's a stubborn and proud man. How did you manage to get him to budge?"Bartemius was also curious about this and looked at Taylor expectantly."You guys may think it's hard to invite him over, but it wasn't too bad for me." Taylor snickered. "He initially refused to come with me, but he honestly overestimated his influence. I had someone just pick him up and drag him into the car!""Y-You dragged him back here?" Bartemius' heart sank. If this were anyone else, he would let the matter slide. But this was Father Johnny they were talking about. He was more than a century old and a nationa

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

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.

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.

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
