Rags to Riches Chapter 32 Eternal Suffering
Nora found it difficult to say those words. After all, she was the matriarch of the Lorimer family and had never stooped so low as to ask her descendant for help.As for Lisa, she stiffened when she heard the former's words. Deep down, she was in utter joy to see Nora asking for a favor from her daughter."Please tell me what you need. I'll do my best to fulfill your request if it's within my capabilities," Vivian answered."I-I was wondering … Could you chat with that mysterious rich guy about letting me live in Hingbrook Hills? I want to live there too …" After saying that, every muscle in Nora's body heated up like she was on fire.It was shocking that the dignified head of the Lorimer family had turned to the neglected and undervalued granddaughter for help."I'm afraid I can't." Vivian struggled to say that.Lisa's eyes bulged from their sockets at once. She couldn't understand why her daughter had refused to help Nora, the Lorimer family's mighty matriarch. All she could th
Rags to Riches Chapter 33 Riding on Our Coattails
"I need to discuss something with you, Marcus … I want to move into Hingbrook Hills." Vivian hesitantly mentioned it to get Marcus' opinion. Lisa had been nagging her to move houses these past few days, so she had no choice but to agree.Marcus smiled while replying, "Sure, I can't wait to experience the high life in a luxury house!" "Oh. Good to hear that," Vivian snapped and felt disappointed in him. At first, she worried that moving into a luxury villa would wound his pride. Yet, she never imagined that he wouldn't mind it at all."Perhaps he doesn't have any dignity. Then again, he might not care about me one bit," Vivian mused while shaking her head. A dull ache spread in her chest at that thought.…Early the next day, Marcus and the others began packing their belongings.Brenda had also rushed back to help, but for some reason, she seemed pale and behaved clumsily as if her mind was elsewhere.Concerned by the former's odd behavior, Vivian asked, "Are you feeling unwell,
Rags to Riches Chapter 34 Make a Deal With You
"Mom!" Vivian was so cross that she stomped her foot. She knew that room was about 50 square feet. There wouldn't be any space after they put a bed in there. So, how would Marcus be comfortable staying in there?"What? It's good enough that he even gets a room. If not for him, I planned to get a dog and let it sleep in that room. I can't tell if Marcus is genuinely stupid or if he's faking it. Doesn't Marcus know that the mysterious magnate only gave you this place because he likes you? How dare Marcus shamelessly live with us here? What a worthless piece of shit!" Lisa glared daggers at Marcus as she felt he had blocked off her chance at becoming wealthy. "I don't mind staying in whichever room. What about you, though? What will that wealthy man think if he visits and sees you hogged the main bedroom that should've belonged to Vivian?" Marcus teased while crossing his arms."Y-You!" Lisa wanted to refute but suddenly felt Marcus made sense. After all, why let the mysterious man st
Rags to Riches Chapter 35 The Mysterious Billionaire Is in Love With Me
"Deal!?" Don't make me laugh. What business deal would an esteemed daughter of the Lorimer family want to strike with me, a matrilocal son-in-law?" Marcus asked incredulously. Since he didn't have anything planned for the day, he decided to play along and see what Faye had up her sleeves.Faye invited herself in and sat on the sofa. She looked around and took in the exquisite decor and exclaimed with jealousy, "So, this is Pinnaclepoint Estate!""State your business quickly!" Marcus urged."Before that, let me ask you something. What do you think the mysterious billionaire is after for treating Vivian so well out of the blue?" Faye asked while making various flirtatious poses. She even bent down and flashed her cleavage at Marcus a few times.Marcus closed his eyes and didn't respond."Hmph! Let me tell you. Actually, that mysterious man is attracted to me, but he doesn't have the courage to confess to me, so he's using Vivian to get close to me," Faye explained confidently."Wha
Rags to Riches Chapter 36 You Sure You Don’t Want to Do Business With Me?
"Reconcile? Looks more like scheming to me," Marcus commented. He was familiar with Nora and Luke's characters after three years of living as a family. They would never compromise so easily."Huh? What do you mean? What are they conspiring?" Vivian asked nervously. She'd never been good at navigating workplace politics, and now she was up against two wolves in sheep's clothing."Oh, it's nothing. I was just talking nonsense." Marcus calmed Vivian down, but his eyes turned cold. Although the nasty ideas that these people came up with were like child's play to Marcus, they could not cross the line, or he'd ruin the whole Lorimer Group.…The next morning, Marcus continued to send Vivian to work on his motorcycle. When she got off in front of the Lorimer Group building, Marcus declared that he wanted to buy a car."That's fine. It'll be more convenient with a car. You can go ahead and have a look first. When you find a good car, let me know, and I'll come and pay for it," Vivian answ
Rags to Riches Chapter 37 What I Want Is Not Your Car, but Your Shop
"Do business with you? Oh, come on, Marcus, don't make me laugh. Do you know the price of our cheapest car? 800 thousand dollars! If I can't afford it even with my five-digit salary, do you think you can afford it as a delivery driver?" Fergus insulted him without holding back. Marcus shook his head dejectedly. If he knew that his friendship with Fergus would sour over this, he wouldn't have made that call."Where's your boss? I would like to speak with him personally," Marcus spat out."You'd like to meet our boss? Marcus, are you here to create a ruckus because you're jealous of my position? My position is the highest and I have the most authority in this branch. If you have anything you wish to say, you can tell it to me!" Fergus answered arrogantly. His eyes were filled with hatred."If your boss doesn't appear in three minutes, I'll make you regret crossing me," Marcus said coldly and found a seat. He didn't want to waste his energy arguing with Fergus. "Regret? I'll make y
Rags to Riches Chapter 38 I've Bought It
Fatso looked at the message and almost dropped his phone in shock."What's the matter, Mr. Fedorov? There's no need to ruin your health over him. Let me handle it. I'll make sure he grovels for forgiveness! At least I still have a keen eye for people." Fergus had indeed become acquainted with some rich people while working for Porsche. He thought that this gave him some leverage against Marcus."A keen eye?" Fatso did a double take and blood started rushing to his face.Smack!A slap landed squarely on Fergus' face before he knew what was going on, and he fell to the floor."You dare boast that you have a keen eye in front of a VIP? You idiot! You useless piece of shit! Don't get me involved if you want to ruin yourself!" Fatso continuously stamped on Fergus' head like a mad dog.It didn't take long for Fergus' face to get bloodied and bruised all over. He couldn't understand what he'd done wrong. He was told that he was a huge asset to the company by Fatso earlier that morni
Rags to Riches Chapter 39 My Wife Is Jealous
Marcus' answer shocked everyone present."Bought … Bought a car?" Vivian repeated in disbelief. Vivian thought, "The cheapest Porsche would cost around 800 thousand dollars. Where would he find the money for it?""Useless piece of trash! Are you still toying with us? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?" Lisa snapped. She was angry that Marcus was still trying to fool them."Mom, stop it. I'll go and have a look and we'll know if he's lying or not." Brenda glanced at Marcus playfully. She was feeling gleeful to have the chance to expose her brother-in-law's lies for Vivian to see.Moments later, a scream could be heard from outside the house.The three of them rushed out of the house to see what happened. What came into their view was a Porsche sports car. Standing next to it was a wide-eyed Brenda."Vivian, it's the real deal! I just checked on the Internet. This is the latest race car series and it's worth more than six million dollars!" Brenda had a bewildered expression on h

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.

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
