Rags to Riches Chapter 429 Filling Misfortune's Gap with Vivian's Marriage
"What?" Upon hearing Vivian's response, Nora was furious. "Vivian, I can't believe you're still thinking about this useless guy even after divorcing him! He's nothing but a waste of oxygen!""Marcus is not a waste of oxygen; he's a good person!" Vivian retorted. "Although we've already divorced, Marcus is pursuing me again!"And he's planning to have a wedding of the century with me!""You're still in contact with him?" Nora immediately turned her anger toward Cassidy. "How could you let that happen? We spent a lot of money to bring you here, and you can't even keep an eye on her!""Madam Nora, actually, I..." She was about to explain but was interrupted by Nora. "Stop! I don't want to hear your explanations! From now on, you must stay by Vivian's side 24/7. No one is allowed to meet her, especially Marcus, until the engagement banquet!""Grandma, I won't agree to marry Dylan," Vivian said defiantly."At this point, it's not up to you anymore," Nora said sternly. "You're my gra
Rags to Riches Chapter 430 Marcus' Three Charges
Brenda recounted the details of the engagement banquet to Marcus."The Lorimers are truly despicable and shameless by forcing Vivian into marriage behind my back!" Marcus immediately set aside what he was doing and rushed to the engagement banquet.Meanwhile, the engagement banquet was in full swing."Mr. Richard, since the two children are getting married the day after tomorrow, I suggest they spend the night together after the engagement banquet!" Nora couldn't wait for Vivian to join the Bennett family. It was as if she feared the Bennett family might regret their decision if the process was delayed. After all, this was the Bennett family of Easton. Becoming their in-laws would undoubtedly elevate the Lorimer family's status."While I'm not in a rush, the suggestion by Madam Nora is quite good," said Dylan, despite his claim that he wasn't in a hurry. However, his eyes couldn't conceal the greedy lust within. He had been smitten since he laid eyes on Vivian. He wanted to
Rags to Riches Chapter 431 One Thousand Dragon Guards
Richard had the confidence for this. His son, Robert, was the president of Bennett Group, and his daughter-in-law, Lily, was the vice president of Wellfield Bank. Even if Bennett Group's influence in the business world of Easton was not mentioned, Wellfield Bank being the largest private bank in Merania, with a major shareholder rumored to be a tycoon from Eagalia, spoke volumes.Because of Wellfield Bank's unique status, many of Merania's top tycoons had formed good relationships with the Bennett family. In addition, Richard himself was the chairman of the Easton Trading Association. Any prestigious family wishing to do business in Easton would invariably pay a visit to him.Richard held tremendous power in Easton. Cromford, which was adjacent to Easton, was tiny in comparison."In Cromford, our family is still the law!" Richard continued, "Offending the law here comes with serious consequences!"Marcus glanced at the dozens of bodyguards who blocked his way. He showed a dis
Rags to Riches Chapter 432 Capture Marcus and Redeem Our Honor
After boosting the morale of the 1000 Dragon Guards, Richard turned to Dylan and asked, "Have you found out Marcus' address o?""Yes, I got the address." Dylan nodded. "We're just waiting for your orders, Grandpa.""Good!" Richard immediately ordered, "Dragon Guards, follow my command and set off to Cromford!"Subsequently, dozens of transport vehicles, stretching endlessly, loaded with 1000 Dragon Guards, set off menacingly for Cromford.…In a run-down courtyard on the outskirts of Cromford, which didn't look remarkable from the outside, was where Marcus and Merania's Four Monstrous Generals, Elijah, Oliver, Denzel, and Sebastiana, resided.The Cromford Military Region designated it as a war zone courtyard.It was a national-level confidential facility.Marcus' presence had brought this originally lifeless courtyard to life. Many soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms were active inside."Elijah, it seems like we have quite a few newcomers in our war zone courtyard today, d
Rags to Riches Chapter 433 Protect the Commander-In-Chief
It was worth noting that civilian gun control in Merania was very strict. Ordinary citizens had no possibility of owning firearms. Even figures like Zenith, who was an underground crime boss of his level, still primarily used cold weapons when in conflict. After all, firearms were considered luxury items for them. However, Dylan not only possessed a handgun but also had 1000 Dragon Guards under his command equipped with firearms.The difference between having guns and not having guns was significant. Although Brian was not afraid, the fact that the Bennett family in Easton possesses firearms on such a scale explained their audacity in claiming to be the embodiment of the law."You're scared now, aren't you?" Seeing the shocked expressions on Brian and others, Dylan appeared smug. "Little brat, I'll give you one last chance to hand over Marcus! Otherwise, we'll step over your dead body and take him ourselves!""You think you're the only one with guns?" Brian didn't flinch a

Seeing the fearful look on Luke's face, Marcus said, "What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine.""You're not dead?" Luke pinched Marcus' arm, confirming that it was real. He couldn't hide his confusion and said, "This can't be! "The Bennetts brought Dragon Guards to attack Cromford. How did you manage to survive?""It was only a mere one-thousand-group battalion, and I didn't even break a sweat to drive them away." Marcus smiled and appeared indifferent."You drove them away?" Luke couldn't believe it and said, "You're bluffing, right?""If you don't believe it, you can ask around," Marcus replied.Nora nodded and instructed, "Luke, go verify his words."So, Luke immediately took out his phone and made a call outside. After a while, he said to Nora, "Grandma, the Bennett family is indeed finished!""What?" Nora was shocked and looked at Marcus with amazement. "You did this?"The Bennett family's influence was undeniable – in Easton, even a mere stomp of Richard's feet could send
Rags to Riches Chapter 435 The Terrifying Laureates Alliance
These two teams of guards also carried machetes on their backs, displaying an imposing aura, much like the ancient guardians.Following that, two more teams of guards came out, each carrying a triangular flag embroidered with a dragon pattern and the word "Laurent", fluttering in the wind. When these two teams of guards merged into one, they stood in front of the square.Finally, an elderly man with snow-white hair walked out, surrounded by ten individuals who wore masks covering half of their faces.This entrance was nothing short of extraordinary, resembling a general inspecting his troops.Although the elderly man had white hair and occasionally coughed, looked frail and sickly, and even seemed as though he might stumble with every step, no one dared to underestimate him. He was none other than Rey's master, the master of both Rey and the hundreds of people who were kneeling."Welcome back, master!" The hundreds of people knelt in unison and paid their respects. Each one of

Unfortunately, before Julius passed away, Zenith had already met his end. Zenith might have waited until after Julius' death to re-emerge and break free from the Laureates Alliance's suppression if it weren't for his encounter with Marcus. Apart from the Laureates Alliance, other organizations like Sundale Group and Zayclon Corporation also had to pay substantial annual tributes to the Laureates Alliance, amounting to tens of billions.After all, their influence extended throughout the southern region of Merania. To make money within their territory, one had to make certain contributions. However, after the downfall of Sundale Group, Zenith, and Zayclon Corporation, the quarterly tribute payments suddenly stopped. This left Julius feeling extremely suspicious.Combined with certain rumors he had heard, he decided to send Rey to establish a front line. At the same time, he intended to provide Rey with valuable experience, paving the way for him to take over the Laureates Allia

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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?
