Rags to Riches Chapter 381 Why Is Marcus Here
"Alright." Elijah nodded. "We can take this opportunity to see exactly what Jill can bring Phisteele Corporation during this negotiation."After reaching a consensus, Elijah contacted Jill and told her about the negotiations.To Marcus' surprise, he had just left Elijah's office when he was informed by the secretary that Jill wanted to see him. The timing was so coincidental that he started suspecting Jill already knew who he was.With this doubt in mind, Marcus headed to Jill's office. "You wanted to see me?""How many times have I told you to address me as Ms. Black when we're at work?" Jill rolled her eyes. "I wanted to see you because I have something very important to assign to you.""Let's hear it, then!" Marcus sat down opposite her."Here's the thing. I just heard from Mr. Steele that Zayclon Corporation wants to negotiate with us so that we can work together for Northfort's future."Judging from what Mr. Steele said, he wants me to use this negotiation to score as many
Rags to Riches Chapter 382 He's Not Worthy of Moira
Marcus was taken aback when he heard Moira's voice. Then, he saw her standing in the middle of the hall, looking haughty."Moira Oppel?" He smiled. "Long time no see!"Moira looked nostalgic. "Long time, indeed!"Six years ago, Marcus had yet to sever ties with the capital's Coleman family. He had just established Morpheus Corporation in Northfort when the Oppel family had come knocking on his door. They wanted him and Moira to get engaged.Back then, Morpheus Corporation was in its prime, and it had Prudence County's Coleman family supporting it. Because of the special connection between the two families, this made the elite families in Northfort guess Marcus' true identity.They figured he was probably a son of the Coleman family who'd been sent to Northfort as part of his training.The Oppel family, hoping for a brighter future, had suggested that Marcus marry Moira. Prudence County's Coleman family had agreed on Marcus' behalf.But three days before the capital's Coleman fam
Rags to Riches Chapter 383 The Star of Danobe
The Oppel family got right to work. They started preparing for the wedding. Despite Ernest being the groom, the Oppel family planned the wedding on its own. Because of their pride, they didn't even dare to ask Ernest to help pay for the wedding.They didn't want Ernest and his family to think they were only allowing Moira to marry him for his money. And so, the Oppel family burned a hole in its pocket for this wedding.Moira sent invitations to all the people she could think of. Almost every elite family in Northfort received an invitation to the wedding, which was what the Oppel family wanted.They wanted the whole of Northfort to witness Marcus' humiliation.When Marcus arrived home after getting off work, he saw that they'd also received an invitation to Moira's wedding. Vivian was the one who received it."Honey, is this Ms. Moira Oppel a colleague of yours?" she asked curiously."Her? She used to be my fiancée." Marcus smiled."Why is she inviting an ex-boyfriend to her wed
Rags to Riches Chapter 384 An Important Guest Arrives
Hiram wasn't Marcus' biological father, but he'd treated Marcus well when the latter had come to Northfort six years ago to establish Morpheus Corporation. Marcus had eventually become an outstanding youth, and there'd been rumors of him becoming the Coleman family's next head.Hiram had genuinely thought of Marcus as his own. After the capital's Coleman family had renounced Marcus, Hiram and Rhea couldn't bear doing anything to him. They'd gone against the capital's Coleman family's instructions to take Marcus down.Instead, they'd chosen to go into seclusion. Later, when Octavius had tried and failed to defeat Marcus, he'd joined them. Only then did Hiram and Rhea find out about Marcus actually being the commander-in-chief!Hiram's attitude pissed Neal off. "Your arrogance is the same as it's always been, Hiram. Have you considered the consequences of what you've just said?""Yeah." Antonia was also displeased. "You're from Prudence County's Coleman family, so you should know ver
Rags to Riches Chapter 385 The Star of Danobe as a Wedding Gift
In truth, Neal and Antonia didn't know the reason behind these important political figures squeezing time out of their busy schedules to attend Moira's wedding. It wasn't because of Zayclon Corporation but because Marcus had arranged it.He wanted to use this as a way to make it up to Moira for the hurt he'd caused her in the past. Unfortunately, the Oppel family had taken it the wrong way.Of course, this wasn't all that Marcus had done. As Neal and Antonia welcomed Salem and the others inside and arranged for them to be seated at the most prominent seats, something else happened at the entrance."Look, there's a chopper!" Someone pointed at the sky.Everyone looked up to see a helicopter hovering a distance away from the Oppel residence. It seemed to be heading toward the Oppel residence. When it got closer, everyone saw the streamers decorating the helicopter."Oh, my God. That's so romantic!" one of the bridesmaids exclaimed. "Moira, could that be Ernest? Is he making his entr
Rags to Riches Chapter 386 Someone All the Bigwigs Bow Down To
Moira was taken aback when she heard Ernest's words. Even the smiles on Neal's and Antonia's faces stiffened. It was obvious that Ernest wasn't the one who'd bought The Star of Danobe for five billion dollars.In fact, Ernest thought the guy who'd done it was a fool. The bridesmaids that had earlier sung his praises now felt embarrassed.Ernest didn't seem to realize the awkwardness in the air. He continued, "The Star of Danobe may be unique, but it's just a necklace. Spending five billion dollars on it is no different from giving up one's whole fortune for it in hopes that its value will grow."But so what if it does? Who would be foolish enough to spend five billion dollars or more on it? If you ask me, it's only worth two million dollars at most!"Ernest spoke excitedly, but the atmosphere only became weirder. No one agreed with him. In the past, the elite families would agree with his every word. The stark contrast he experienced today made him feel something was amiss.He fro
Rags to Riches Chapter 387 Moira Remains Single for Marcus
Before today, Moira would've thought Marcus was bluffing and would've looked down her nose at him. But now, who would dare doubt him?The fact that he could make the politicians and the Four Monstrous Generals show up at the same time was enough to prove his identity. He was the only man in Merania's history to be conferred the title of commander-in-chief!Moira suddenly found herself laughable. She'd worked so hard to get to where she was. She thought marrying Ernest was the peak of her life and that she'd finally reached a point where she could humiliate Marcus.Yet without her even realizing it, Marcus had long since become out of her league. Even five billion dollars, which was an amount that only the most elite of families in Prudence County could amass, was nothing but spare change to him.To Zayclon Corporation, five billion dollars wasn't a small sum either. Yet Marcus had bought The Star of Danobe with that amount and acted like he'd only bought a regular necklace for 500
Rags to Riches Chapter 388 Ask Amadeus to Head to Merania
For secrecy reasons, the widely anticipated wedding of the century turned out to be surprisingly low profile. The media barely reported on it.Of course, what happened after he left came as a surprise to Marcus. Moira calling off the wedding invited guesses from the media. Ernest's identity and the jarring end to the wedding made it the talk of the town.As everyone had been sworn to secrecy, the media had no idea why Moira had called off the wedding. And so, they could only use their imagination to weave lies. They guessed that Moira had caught Ernest cheating on her with a young model.After all, as Zayclon Corporation's president-to-be, it was normal for him to be a playboy who liked having some fun with models or starlets.When Marcus saw the reports on this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "These tabloids honestly have nothing better to do. It's a waste of their talents that they're not actors or actresses.""Are you saying that isn't the reason?" Vivian said teasingl

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. 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
