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
Rags to Riches Chapter 259 All Hail the Drakon
"The general?" Marcus narrowed his eyes.Six years ago, over 40 of Merania's neighboring countries had worked together to take Merania down. Marie Isla's general, Ken Terk, had been at the forefront of this. He'd gone head to head with Marcus.Marcus had led Merania's Four Monstrous Generals—Jonathan, Sebastiana, Elijah, and Oliver into battle without another soldier with them. They'd met the enemies head-on. In that battle, Marie Isla had given it their best.Thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of troops had worked together. Yet, Marcus and the Four Monstrous Generals had still taken them down. Ken had suffered serious injuries in that battle and gone missing.Marcus had made history by defeating a country almost singlehandedly."Scared now, are we?" Lucas still looked smug. "There's still time for you to beg for mercy. Who knows, maybe I'll ask the general to leave your corpse whole!"Marcus smiled. "'Surrender' isn't in my vocabulary.""Still trying to put u
Rags to Riches Chapter 260 Is He an Alien
Vivian pushed the door open uneasily. She walked into the room.It was the presidential suite. Inside the spacious room, a young man with a gentlemanly demeanor sat on the couch. It was Octavius. Bill stood beside him."Vivian Lorimer?" Octavius scanned her as she approached. He nodded approvingly and said, "You really are as beautiful as they say. It's no wonder Marcus was willing to be your matrilocal husband. It looks like he knew what he was doing!"Bill, on the other hand, eyed Vivian greedily. His gaze was lecherous."Who are you people?" Vivian's scalp tingled from their gazes. Her tone was feeble."We're the people who can decide your worthless husband's fate." Octavius chuckled lightly. "If you do as we say, we'll consider letting you guys off easy."Vivian frowned. "What do you guys want?""I don't like beating around the bush." Octavius pointed at Bill and said, "All you have to do is spend a night with Mr. Slater. Then, I'll let Marcus off the hook.""Huh?" Bill was
Rags to Riches Chapter 261 An Invitation
The bones in Bill's limbs were shattered in this instant. They hung limp. Even a three-year-old could easily kill him right now."I've shredded the muscles and tendons in your limbs; don't even dream of recovery. I used a special technique, so not even Eason Norris will be able to save you. Get ready to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair," Marcus said coldly.Bill screamed. The excruciating pain almost made him pass out."I told you I wouldn't let you die so easily." Marcus sneered. "This is the price you have to pay for setting your sights on my woman. Now, tell me—where is Octavius?""He should be back at Forme Corporation," Bill said. He couldn't take the pain and hoped his truthfulness would make Marcus have mercy on him.Unfortunately, Marcus left the room without sparing him another glance. Bill was in despair.Octavius, who had headed back to Forme Corporation, called Bill when he figured it had been enough time for him to have his fun with Vivian. After all, he w
Rags to Riches Chapter 262 Heath Castillo
Marcus parked his Mercedes-Benz S Series outside the Childe residence. Vivian, Lincoln, and Lisa got out of the car. At this moment, a Hummer arrived with a roar. A young man wearing a camouflage shirt and trousers got out. He even had a pair of shades on, making him look cool."Heath!" Vivian recognized him immediately. He was her cousin, and he had always bullied her when they were kids.Heath Castillo hadn't gone to college after graduating from high school. Instead, he'd joined the army."Well, if it isn't Vivian." Heath took his shades off and looked at Vivian. "It's been ages since we last saw each other. You seem to be getting prettier by the minute."Then, Steven and Luna got out of the Hummer. Luna said to Lisa, "What a surprise, seeing your husband here!""I just arrived in Northfort today, Luna. I came to visit Norman and Shirley." Lincoln smiled."Arrived today?" Luna looked scornful. "Then why did I hear from a little bird that you arrived yesterday? You even ended
Rags to Riches Chapter 263 The Commander-In-Chief Looks Like Marcus
Before Lisa could say anything, Marcus agreed. "Deal!"His swift agreement made Lisa and Vivian exchange a look. Lisa dragged him aside and said grumpily, "Who said you could make that decision on our behalf?""Exactly!" Lincoln piped up. "You're just a matrilocal son-in-law. Who gave you the right to speak for us?""Relax, Mom, Dad." Marcus looked calm. "We'll definitely be able to attend the commander-in-chief's welcome party.""Do you think we can attend just because you say we can?" Lisa grumbled. "Who do you think we are, the commander-in-chief's special guests? How ridiculous!""Mom, Marcus was just trying to stand up for our family," Vivian said."As if!" Lisa looked murderous at the thought of being humiliated again. "I think he's just trying to make us look worse than we already do!"Vivian fell silent. She recently felt like there was something magical about Marcus. It was as if everything he said would somehow come true. Still, this was the commander-in-chief's welcom
Rags to Riches Chapter 264 Pass Out Again
"Wait a second …" Luna couldn't help feeling Marcus' back looked familiar, now that Steven had mentioned it. "I'm not gonna lie, he really does!""Don't tell me Marcus really is the commander-in-chief!" Steven was taken aback by this thought."What are you on about?" Luna glared at him. "You know how worthless Marcus is. What else can he do aside from leech off Vivian? If he's the commander-in-chief, pigs can fly!""Yeah, you're right." Steven calmed down. "Maybe they just look alike. Or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.""Something must be wrong with your eyesight," Luna said firmly. "Comparing Marcus with the commander-in-chief is an insult to the latter. We're in the Northfort military region, so you'd better watch what you say. Don't cause trouble for Heath!""Yes, yes, of course!" Steven wiped the cold sweat that had beaded on his forehead.Marcus entered the Northfort military region's command center with Elijah by his side. He asked Jonathan, "Is everything ready?"

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

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.

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.

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
