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
Rags to Riches Chapter 231 Even God Has to Submit to Us
"Here on someone's request? To pass a message?" Taylor sneered at Damon's words. "When has the leader of the underworld been relegated to a messenger? I can't believe you're personally passing a message on someone's behalf."Bartemius and Anthony were surprised. Taylor's mockery made Bartemius feel disappointed in Damon. He couldn't help thinking his former apprentice was getting worse as time passed."Tell us, then. Whose message are you relaying?" he asked."I'm sorry, sir, but I can't reveal his identity. I don't deserve to utter his name." Damon looked serious. "But you can take a look at his handwritten note." He handed the note to Bartemius.Bartemius opened it to see the four words written on it. Anthony and Taylor leaned over to take a look."Commander-in-chief, Coleman?" Bartemius frowned. "What's this supposed to mean?"Damon remained silent. He didn't explain the note."Dad, your nickname is the 'commander-in-chief', so this note must be referring to you." Anthony sta
Rags to Riches Chapter 232 Show Them What We’re Capable Of
"Father Johnny, my grandson may sound like he's bluffing, but he's really not." When Bartemius saw that Father Johnny hadn't even batted an eye, he added, "Even if someone important from the capital were to come to Northfort, they'd have to get my permission before doing anything.""You're a confident one." Father Johnny smiled and shook his head. "But I assure you that you can't afford to offend this friend of mine. You still have the chance to correct your mistakes before he gets here."When he does, the Hob family will be reduced to nothingness.""Who are you trying to scare?" Taylor sneered. "My grandfather's controlled Northfort for decades and has weathered more storms than you can imagine. Do you think a few sentences from an old fart like you will scare him?"I'll ask you once more—are you gonna treat my grandfather or not?""No." Father Johnny was firm. Then, he ignored the three Hob men and sat down to meditate. He tuned them out."Why, you old fart!" Taylor was about t
Rags to Riches Chapter 233 Landing Him in Hot Water
Bartemius looked at Marcus, Elijah, and Damon contemptuously. Firstly, Damon was his apprentice. Even if he was now the leader of Northfort's underworld, he still had to submit to Bartemius.Next was Elijah. Rumor had it he was a mogul from Easton who'd acquired Rudd Corporation overnight, but that didn't mean Bartemius would think highly of him. And Marcus was nothing but a matrilocal son-in-law. There was no way Bartemius would think he was important."You still have time to think of your next move. Once time's up, none of you will take a single step out of this villa!" Bartemius sat down. He even picked up his cup of tea and sipped from it. To him, Taylor wasn't capable of much, but he could at least deal with some small fry.On the other hand, Taylor led several menacing attendants into the yard. "Who the fuck dares to trespass on the Hob family's land?" he yelled."I do," Gary said. He showed up with his elite forces.Taylor was stunned to see the armed soldiers. What the hel
Rags to Riches Chapter 234 The Opportunist
Bartemius guessed Damon's intentions.When Terry and Harvey were the twin bosses of Northfort's underworld, Damon had always been suppressed.Now that Terry and Harvey were both killed in a fight, Damon quickly acquired Northfort's underworld territory and became the boss.Even so, Damon still could not make his own decisions as he had always been suppressed by Bartemius.Although Bartemius had been retired for many years, most of Northfort's underworld territory was closely related to him. So, Bartemius was still controlling the underworld's order from the back.Bartemius did not have high hopes about Damon becoming the boss at first. Bartemius had to give it to Damon because of how quickly Damon seized the opportunity. Otherwise, the position of Northfort's underworld boss would not have been Damon's.After Damon became the boss, he also quickly visited Bartemius as a sign of respect for him.However, Damon had to keep quiet about the fact that Bartemius was the one controllin
Rags to Riches Chapter 235 Inspection Trouble
"Cherry, your analysis is right." Marius nodded and said, "That kid must have taken advantage of someone to get into Phisteele Corporation and got close to Elijah. That was how he got the chance to welcome Father Johnny and gain the respect of Elijah."With an important figure like Father Johnny to support him, it's totally reasonable for the kid to contact the Northfort military region and ask them to send an army over."By doing that, Marcus could get more trust from Elijah by talking about how great he was. Then, he would seek greater benefits for himself.""Grandpa, I've told you before. This guy is cunning and full of tricks. Accidentally saving you during your first meeting might also be a part of his plan!" Cherry said."Indeed." The more Marius thought about it, the more he believed Cherry. "Thankfully, you are smart and realized this kid's schemes. Otherwise, this kid will only spell trouble for us."Meanwhile, at the Forme Corporation, there was chaos."Damn it!" Oc
Rags to Riches Chapter 236 Just a Drinking Invitation
Since coming to Northfort and becoming the vice president of the Childe group, the Northfort Pinnacle Hotel project had been Vivian's priority. She checked everything from construction materials to workmanship in order to build a project of the best quality.Right now, the two men from the inspection team just decided the project would fail the inspection without even reading the documents Vivian provided.Vivian was shocked and asked, "Mr. Ford, can you tell me why our project would fail the inspection?" "Why?" Andrew asked coldly. "It's simple. The building quality won't pass the inspection.""That's right." Jim, who was beside Andrew, agreed. "If we approve a jerry-built project like this, the residents will be the ones in danger. When something happens, we will get scolded. We must be responsible for the safety of the people.""How is this a jerry-built project?" Vivian was aggrieved. She put all his effort into the building's construction. She bought expensive materials ju

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

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. Shye chased them away before they could even enter the door.After all, Shye was the second-ranked bachelor in the capital, and no one dared to offend him.Just like that, Shye had guarded the Yallops' door for a month.Finally, the Yallops had peace.…Meanwhile, Marcus continued to spend his time with Vivian every day during the month.

Chapter 722 Special Art of Breathing
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.

Chapter 721 Their Instructor Is the Commander-in-Chief
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.

Chapter 719 I Am Stronger Than All Members of the Meranian Wolf List Top 100
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
