Rags to Riches Chapter 251 He’s Not a Good Guy
"One minute ago, Childe Group's corporate account received funds totaling 100 million dollars!" The finance department quickly reported this to Norman when they noticed it."100 million dollars?" Norman was in disbelief. "Are you sure?""Positive, sir!" The staff from the finance department looked firm.Norman subconsciously glanced at Marcus. Had he transferred the money to them? After all, he'd just told them not to worry about the funds.But he was just a matrilocal son-in-law. Even if the Lorimer family was willing to help, there was no way they could fork out 100 million dollars in only a minute!If Marcus wasn't behind this, where had the money come from?Norman didn't believe for a second that John, the bastard, would suddenly grow a conscience and transfer the money back to them.Even Vivian gave Marcus an admiring look.Marcus shrugged. "It wasn't me." The way he saw it, even if John had fled to Eagalia, he'd catch him and make him cough up the money. And so, there was
Rags to Riches Chapter 252 Pushing the Blame
Murray sent a message to Marcus just as the latter arrived at Patterson Group.So, Marius was the one who'd transferred the money to Childe Group. This surprised Marcus. As far as he knew, the Patterson family—Cherry, especially—had a bad impression of him.And it was easy enough for the Patterson family to find out who he was—on the surface, at least. There was no reason for them to help Childe Group.Marcus left the agreement with Patterson Group's receptionist before turning to leave, deep in thought. Then, he ran into Marius and Cherry, who had returned from Childe Group."What are you doing at our company, Marcus?" Cherry was immediately on her guard."I came to drop off an agreement, that's all," Marcus said calmly."I don't believe you." Cherry looked grim. "You must be here to stake the place out so you can think of a way to trick us out of our money!""You're crazy." Marcus snorted. He continued walking out."Stop right there!" Cherry cried. "We're grateful to you for
Rags to Riches Chapter 253 Not Recognizing the True Gem
"You want me to apologize to Marius Patterson?" Marcus looked lost when he returned to the Childe residence. "It's not like I owe him or the Patterson family anything. Why should I apologize?"When he thought about what had happened at the airport upon Father Johnny's arrival, his gaze turned grim. "Cherry's the one who should apologize!" He'd given them enough time for it, but it appeared they couldn't care less."So, you think there's nothing wrong with you taking credit for what Marius did for us?" Howard sneered."I didn't take credit for anything. You guys are the ones who thought I did it," said Marcus calmly. "Whatever it is, there's no way I'll apologize to Marius. Besides, do you think he's worthy of accepting my apology?"Marcus was the Drakon. Indeed, Marius wasn't worthy."How absurd!" Norman trembled with rage. "How dare you treat the wealthiest man in Northfort with such scorn! One day, you're gonna bring disaster to us all!"Tie him up. I have to take him to the Pa
Rags to Riches Chapter 254 Who Took the Check
Unbeknownst to Marcus, one of the Childe family's attendants saw him throw the check into the trashcan. Shortly after Marcus left, the attendant ran to the trashcan and picked up the check when no one was looking."Don't worry, Marcus. I won't divorce you," Vivian said comfortingly when they returned to Imperial No.1."I know you won't, honey." Marcus frowned. "I'm just worried your grandparents and the others will force you into it. It all boils down to the fact that they think I'm an outsider. The Childe family is afraid that its fortune will end up in my hands with you as its heiress."The same goes for the Lorimer family. They all think the same thing.""Then I'd rather give up on being the heiress," Vivian said."That won't do." Marcus shook his head. "You got that fair and square; you got it based on your abilities. Why should you give it up?"The Childe family's fortune meant nothing to him, but Vivian had worked hard for it. Even if he didn't want the money, he couldn't a
Rags to Riches Chapter 255 Vivian’s Dad Is Here
After all, Zeke was the only one present who knew of Marcus' secret identity. He genuinely didn't believe Marcus would've swiped ten million dollars."Who else could it be if not him?" Howard snorted. "What's wrong with you, Zeke? You seem to be speaking up for him a lot!"His words made the rest of the Childe family realize this as well. It seemed like that was the case."I just think we should be nicer to Marcus." Zeke was a little embarrassed. He couldn't expose Marcus' identity, so he could only say vaguely, "Maybe he'll become someone who makes the Childe family proud in the future!""That's impossible!" Michael said firmly. "Any one of us could make the Childe family proud, but not him! I know you've learned a lot from the commander-in-chief, Zeke, but you don't need to have so much hope for a guy like him.""Exactly!" Yvette piped up, looking haughty. "Even if the Childe family were to be proud of someone, it'd be you. Not Marcus!"Zeke was resigned when he saw the Childe
Rags to Riches Chapter 256 The Fish Takes the Bait
Lincoln had already called Vivian to ask her to pick him up. Yet she'd told him she would send Marcus in her stead because she couldn't step away. She was busy setting up her company.Setting up her company? Even behind bars, Lincoln had heard about Vivian becoming Childe Group's vice president and the Childe family's official heiress. He'd come to Northfort immediately after being released from prison so he could live the good life.Yet now, Vivian was telling him she'd cut ties with the Childe family? The bastard, Marcus, had to be behind this!Lincoln had never been fond of Marcus, so his first thought was that Marcus had talked Vivian into this. Marcus had to have done it because he didn't want Lincoln to live in comfort.Lincoln looked around. He didn't see Marcus anywhere. "Oh, forget it. It's not like he's good for anything, anyway. I might as well just walk around on my own." He walked out of Northfort station.Unbeknownst to him, two people were watching him from a corner
Rags to Riches Chapter 257 Three Billion in Interest
Ten minutes later, Lincoln looked at his nonexistent pile of chips. The look on his face was ugly."You still in, man?" The dealer smiled at him.Lincoln rubbed his face and glanced at the two men who'd brought him to the casino. "Can you loan me some more money? I'll pay you guys back when I win!""You want more?" One of the men smirked. "You already owe us three billion dollars, you know. I'd advise you to start thinking about paying us back.""What? Three billion?" Lincoln looked confused. "I only borrowed ten thousand dollars! And it hasn't even been a day. How did we get to three billion?""I told you we're loan sharks, right?" The man pulled out the loan contract. "We charge interest by the minute, not the number of days. It's stated right here on this contract. And you signed it. Don't tell me you're trying to get out of this.""Charge by the minute?" Lincoln was dumbfounded. He took the contract and read through it. Indeed, the terms were stated in black and white. Then,
Rags to Riches Chapter 258 General Ken Terk
At this moment, Octavius and Bill were seated before the computer at Forme Corporation. They were keeping a close watch on things at Starstrewn Casino."Marcus is the only one left." Bill narrowed his eyes, looking interested."I'd like to see how he's gonna cough up three billion dollars." Octavius gnashed his teeth. "I want him to lose everything!""I doubt he can fork out the money even after giving up everything he has," Bill snickered. "I bet he didn't come with any money. This is three billion dollars we're talking about. Even Marius Patterson wouldn't be able to scrounge up that much in such a short time.""If he doesn't have the money, he'll have to leave his life behind." Octavius' eyes flashed."I think there's something we can do before killing him, actually." Bill's murky eyes gleamed. "You should know that Marcus' wife, Vivian Lorimer, is the belle of Cromford. It was such a waste for her to marry someone like him.""So, you mean …""You're still as uninterested in

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

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.

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.

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.

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
