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
Rags to Riches Chapter 302 The Ghastly Ghosts
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
Rags to Riches Chapter 304 Get Out of Northfort
As soon as the words were out of Norman's mouth, a loud voice rang out from the Childe residence's entrance. "Who says Phisteele Corporation wouldn't dare come here?"Everyone turned to look at the entrance. They saw a man wearing a security guard's uniform. He had two security guards with him. They held a large plaque, but it was covered with a black cloth.The security guard in the lead was Donald, the deputy head of Phisteele Corporation's security team."It's good that you're here. I'd be scornful of Phisteele Corporation if it only consisted of cowards." Lucius nodded at Donald. "Judging from your attire, I doubt you're Mr. Steele.""You've got a good eye, Mr. Lucius." Donald snickered. "Indeed, I'm not Mr. Steele.""If you're not him, are you the company's secret boss?" Lucius snorted."I don't think you're worthy of having our secret boss make a trip here." Donald shook his head. "My name's Donald Wood. I'm the deputy head of Phisteele Corporation's security team."As soo
Rags to Riches Chapter 305 Choosing a Side
The Childe family looked proud at Lucius' words. Phisteele Corporation may have just shown Lucius up, but with the Ghastly Ghosts on his side, no one would dare offend him unless they were confident in their power.Even Lucius himself was a skilled martial artist. Rumor had it that no one in Northfort stood a chance against him.Prudence County's Childe family had moved to the county three decades ago and were now the wealthiest family there. It hadn't gotten to where it was today by bragging. It had to have its merits.The crowd secretly wondered what Lucius meant by this."I'm sure many of you present have business dealings with Phisteele Corporation. You might even be on pretty good terms with them." Lucius swept his gaze over the crowd with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "But from today onward, you'll have to pick a side."Because I'm gonna start taking Phisteele Corporation down brick by brick. If you choose the wrong side, you'll be in for a destructive ride."The part
Rags to Riches Chapter 306 The Terrifying Ghastly Ghosts
"Of course not!" Lucius sneered. "They'll have to pay for disrespecting and disregarding me. Damon Neuf, Marius Patterson, Octavius Coleman, Wade Betelgeuse, Walter Windward, and Xavier Sloane—I won't let any of them off the hook!"We'll start with cleaning up the Northfort underworld, shall we?"Norman's expression shifted. He asked, "What do you have in mind, Mr. Lucius?""The Ghastly Ghosts have been locked up in that small, dark room for too long. It's time for them to get some exercise." Lucius turned to Finnegan. "Let them out, Finnegan. Damon Neuf is their first target.""Yes, sir!" Finnegan headed to the backyard.That midnight, Damon had headed to an old haunt of his, Richwind Karaoke. He'd felt an eerie chill in the air after leaving the Childe residence—it was mainly due to the sound of the Ghastly Ghosts chomping on Ozzy's bones.He decided to head to Richwind Karaoke to hang out with the ladies there and warm himself up. Unbeknownst to him, two Neanderthal-like men a
Rags to Riches Chapter 307 Cherry's Taken Hostage by The Devil
It was obvious that despite her youth, Cherry knew very well who The Devil was. After all, she'd grown up by Marius' side and had helped him manage the Patterson family's businesses. She knew more than she let on.Still, she was Marius' granddaughter. Cherry quickly regained her composure. "If this is how Mr. Lucius extends invitations to others, I think I'll have to ask you to let him know that he needs to be more sincere.""How dare a brat like you talk to Mr. Lucius about sincerity!" Finnegan sneered, looking contemptuous. "Mr. Lucius has your grandfather at his beck and call, let alone you! This is exactly how Mr. Lucius invites people over, brat. You have no right to object!"Howard took advantage of Finnegan's presence to say arrogantly, "Come with us, Ms. Patterson!""I'm not going anywhere," Cherry said angrily. "I'm calling the cops if you don't get out of here!""The cops?" Finnegan snorted. "Go ahead, then."Cherry immediately pulled out her phone to call the cops. At

Marcus and Elijah exchanged a look. Elijah explained, "Marius called me earlier and said he had something urgent to tell us. That's why I told him to come over."Marcus nodded. He said, "Calm down, Marius. Get up and give me the details.""Thank you, sir!" Marius got to his feet with Damian's help. He looked gloomy as he said, "Cherry, my granddaughter, has been taken hostage by Lucius Childe. He said he was going to feed her to the Ghastly Ghosts."It's all because I didn't choose to side with the Childe family during that bogus banquet he held. That's why he's coming after me like this!""Please, help us, commander-in-chief!" Damian begged. "The Ghastly Ghosts are neither human nor beasts; they're vile creatures. Cherry's doomed now that she's in their hands!"Marius bowed deeply. "It's all thanks to your magnanimity that I've retired from Northfort's business world without any problem. I was planning on moving to the country to live an idyllic life, but that's been ruined by Lu

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!"
