Rags to Riches Chapter 296 How Did They Get In
It was finally the day of the commander-in-chief's inauguration party. Though Marcus was only taking up a temporary position in Northfort's government, he wouldn't be an official member of the government, nor would he interfere in Northfort's political matters.Still, he was one of Merania's most important figures, and he had the battle scars to go with it. He'd led Merania's Four Monstrous Generals into battle against over 40 of Merania's neighboring countries. He'd even taken Marie Isla out.He was the only man who'd been conferred the title of "commander-in-chief" in Merania's history. That was why the Northfort government took this party very seriously.Though it was only being held in Northfort, the viceroy, governor, and military commander were all in attendance. Aside from Jonathan, the three other Monstrous Generals were also present. It was a grand affair.It was early in the morning, but things at the Patterson household were already busy. There were three Rolls-Royce Pha
Rags to Riches Chapter 297 The Commander-In-Chief Is Coming
"They must've sneaked their way in," Howard said. "It's an insult to us invitees for riffraff like them to be allowed in here. I have to tell the guards about this."Vivian, Lisa, and Lincoln tensed up at that. After all, Marcus had used Father Johnny's invitation to get them in here. If the guards didn't acknowledge that, they'd be kicked out. That would be much too humiliating."Yes, we have to get them kicked out!" Brad said."Go ahead, then." Marcus looked calm. "We'll see who the guards kick out.""The nerve of you!" Howard sneered. "I'll tell the guards about this right now!"At this moment, a group of soldiers on patrol passed by them. Howard immediately sidled up to them and said, "I have something to report, sirs. Some people without invitations have sneaked in here!"The soldiers were on their guard when they heard this. This was the commander-in-chief's inauguration party. If anyone with nefarious intentions were to sneak in, they'd be a huge threat to security.The s
Rags to Riches Chapter 298 Sorry to Disappoint
At this moment, Elijah commanded, "Attention!"Merania's Four Monstrous Generals stood straight and saluted in unison. They looked serious. The viceroy and governor, on the other hand, looked nervous. After all, this was the commander-in-chief's first public appearance since arriving in Northfort.As the crowd watched with bated breath, Marcus, who was decked out in his military garb, strode out of the corridor. His tall, muscular frame was reminiscent of a god's.Even if Cherry and Octavius were seated close to the front, they could only see Marcus' side profile from where they were seated. And so, they didn't recognize him at first. They only felt he was somewhat familiar."Ms. Patterson, do you find the commander-in-chief familiar?" Octavius leaned forward to ask Cherry."Now that you mention it, I do …" Cherry's heart sank. She had a clearer view of Marcus' face from where she was seated. Why did she think the commander-in-chief looked a lot like Marcus?"No, that can't be."
Rags to Riches Chapter 299 Settling the Score With the Patterson Family
Marcus had obviously caught Octavius' and the Pattersons' reactions. He didn't let it show, though. After all, there was still an agenda to follow after making his appearance.The governor was very upset that the Pattersons and Octavius had interrupted the proceedings with their embarrassing reactions. Still, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to reprimand them in public. He could only pretend nothing had happened and continue hosting the party."Ladies and gentlemen, I trust the commander-in-chief needs no introduction. After all, he's Merania's pillar. If not for him, Merania would probably have been razed by the neighboring countries, leading to widespread death and terror."And so, the fact that we're able to gather here to celebrate a momentous occasion is all thanks to the commander-in-chief!"There was a smattering of applause at his words. The governor held up a hand to make the crowd settle down. Then, he continued, "Now that there is peace in the country, the fates have d
Rags to Riches Chapter 300 Are You the Commander-In-Chief
Octavius felt like he'd been on a roller-coaster ride. Earlier, to make the Coleman family pay attention to him and make him the heir of the branch family in Prudence County, Octavius had chosen to pick on Marcus. In the past, he and Marcus had been on relatively good terms.Yet what had he done? He'd tried to frame and murder Marcus. He'd gone to unbelievable lengths. Octavius couldn't help smiling bitterly at the thought of the things he'd done.What did being the heir of the Coleman family mean to Marcus when he was already the commander-in-chief? In fact, what did the Coleman family matter? None of these things meant anything to Marcus.Octavius fell to his knees, looking desolate. He sighed and said, "If I'd known you were the commander-in-chief, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to pick on you. Even the Coleman family wouldn't expect this."They think you're still fighting to become the heir. Little do they know that with your identity, the Coleman family means nothing."
Rags to Riches Chapter 301 Exposed
Marcus saw the expectant looks on Vivian, Lisa, and Lincoln's faces. He shrugged helplessly and said, "Looks like it's time for me to come clean. Indeed, I am the commander-in-chief! It was on my orders that Marius and Octavius retired from Northfort's business world.""Really?" Vivian had a feeling Marcus was telling the truth. After all, everything that Marcus had mentioned had somehow come true. One incident could be considered a coincidence, but what if there were many instances?But if Marcus really were the commander-in-chief, why would he settle down as the Lorimer family's matrilocal son-in-law? Vivian couldn't puzzle it out."Braggart!" Lisa curled her lip. Then, she asked what Vivian had been thinking.Marcus chuckled, then said, "It's because I love Vivian, of course. Becoming a matrilocal son-in-law means nothing compared to my love for her!"His words made Vivian blush. Her heart raced."Is that true?" Lisa looked doubtful."Yeah." Lincoln didn't buy it, either. "If

Maisie's words made an air of doom and gloom settle over the Childe family."Don't lose your cool, Norman," Shirley said. "We still have Prudence County's Childe family to fall back on!""Yes, them!" Norman's eyes lit up at her words. He perked up and nodded. "Mr. Lucius told me that he'd be coming to Northfort to reestablish the Childe family's influence. He's just been waiting for the commander-in-chief's inauguration party to be over."Now that that's over and done with, it's likely the commander-in-chief won't bother about what happens in Northfort. He'll probably just watch from the sidelines. As long as we don't offend him, we won't have to fear those creditors with Mr. Lucius on our side.""Yes, that's right," Shirley said. "30 years ago, Mr. Lucius was powerful enough to wreak havoc in Northfort and turn himself into a presence that everyone feared. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we have to grab it by the balls!""I'll call Mr. Lucius and invite him to North
Rags to Riches Chapter 303 Is There Anyone From Phisteele Corporation
Under Lucius' command, the Childe family got to work. Soon, the invitations for the banquet Lucius wanted to hold at the Childe residence were sent out. All the business and political bigwigs in Northfort received an invitation.Aside from Wade, Xavier, and Walter of the Northfort Chamber of Commerce, Marius and Octavius were also invited.The Northfort business world was stunned by this. A man's reputation preceded him, and Northfort's older generation was still traumatized by the things Lucius had done three decades ago. Even the younger generation had heard of what he'd done.Three decades had passed, and The Devil was now back in Northfort. It made the business world's bigwigs wonder whether he was back to reclaim his throne.Despite this, there were still brave fools who dared to come knocking on the Childe family's door to chase them to repay their debts. One of them was one of V Corporation's creditors—Parker Foley, the vice president of Foley Debt Collection Co."Well, are

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.

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
