Rags to Riches Chapter 439 Let Marcus Take the Blame
August got straight to the point, showing no regard for the Lorimer family. He introduced himself, stated his request, and left without waiting for Nora's response. He knew that the Lorimer family wouldn't disregard his words.As the leader of the Octet Guardians of the Laureates Alliance, August had the confidence to act this way. He came and went like the wind, leaving the Lorimers in bewilderment."What is this Laureates Alliance, and who are these Octet Guardians?" Faye appeared perplexed. "Is this guy mentally ill?"Only Nora showed signs of astonishment. "He is August, the leader of the Octet Guardians of the Laureates Alliance!" Nora finally spoke. "The Laureates Alliance is the largest underworld organization in the southern region of Merania, with tens of thousands of members in both the criminal and lawful worlds.""That's terrifying," Vivian couldn't help but express her amazement. After all, Nora had a wealth of experience and broad knowledge. Her words weren't exagge
Rags to Riches Chapter 440 Death Notice
When Marcus arrived at the Lorimer family, he saw that everyone was there. However, everyone's face bore a heavy expression. After all, they were currently facing a death threat. No one's mood could be good."Marcus, where have you been," Nora scolded as soon as she saw Marcus. "You brat, you've brought disaster upon our family!"On the way here, Marcus had already learned from Murray that August had visited the Lorimer residence."Heh! You are all frightened of August?" Marcus had an indifferent expression. "So, are you saying that I should've allowed that scoundrel Rey to humiliate Vivian and do nothing?""What kind of logic is that? Don't twist the facts," Nora burst out angrily. "The calamity has already been brought upon us. August came to our door and summoned the entire Lorimer family to join in Rey's death."You're also a member of the Lorimer family, so you're part of this now!" Marcus couldn't help but smile. The Lorimers had previously tried so hard to distance Ma
Rags to Riches Chapter 441 Only Worshipping Oliver
Tobias had previously lived in the Southeast region and had never directly crossed paths with the Laureates Alliance, but Tobias was aware of them due to their reputation.However, even though the Laureates Alliance was powerful, Tobias, who had once been a national war god, had no fear, especially with Marcus behind him. Who could have a more influential background than the commander-in-chief?"So, you are August, the Laureates Alliance's Octet Guardians leader. I've heard that your punches are unstoppable. Maybe you can teach me a thing or two." Tobias sneered at August. "If I'm not mistaken, the three behind you should also be part of the Octet Guardians, right?""That's right!" August nodded. "They are Kieran Waters, Adrian Maverick, and Sylvan Crimson.""Today, four of the Octet Guardians have come here for one purpose – to take your life and have you join my junior in death!""Let's see if you are capable of that," Tobias said, adopting a combat stance."Attack!" The Four
Rags to Riches Chapter 442 The Wolfpack Brigade
"Could this be ..."As Julius pondered, he dared not imagine further."That's right, just as you imagined," Marcus said with a smile. "I am the commander-in-chief.""Ah ..." Upon hearing Marcus confirm his identity, Julius couldn't help but take a sharp breath. His legs gave way, and he fell to his knees. He prostrated to Marcus and exclaimed, "It's my utmost honor to meet the commander-in-chief!"Despite being the head of the Laureates Alliance, Julius' status was dwarfed by Marcus'. Before Marcus, his position seemed as insignificant as a speck of dust.Seeing Julius' reaction, the Quad Guardians of Valor, Octet Guardians, and tens of thousands of Laureates Alliance members also knelt. Realizing that the person he had been dealing with was none other than the commander-in-chief, Julius was terrified. He quickly prostrated himself and begged for forgiveness. "Please forgive me for offending you by speaking up for that traitor Rey. I deserve severe punishment. Please, comman
Rags to Riches Chapter 443 Can I Pursue You, Marcus?
"Hey, isn't this Marcus, who married into the Lorimers?" Felix said with a smirk. "Your timing is impeccable, showing up right after the Laureates Alliance retreated.""Yeah?" Marcus immediately understood Felix's implication—these two brothers were here to claim credit.Marcus replied nonchalantly, "The two of you showing up is quite timely as well.""Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Felix retorted, displeased. "Do you think kicking out the Laureates Alliance was all thanks to you?""That's right. I'm the one who dealt with the Laureates Alliance," Marcus responded."Hahaha!" Felix scoffed. "This is hilarious! If it weren't for the Hendrix family stepping in, would the Lorimers in Cromford be unscathed? And you dare to come here and take credit!""I think it's you who wants to claim credit!" Marcus sneered disdainfully. "You say the Hendrix family dealt with the Laureates Alliance. Well, let me ask you this, who is the leader of the Laureates Alliance?""Well …" Josiah and F
Rags to Riches Chapter 444 Brenda's Confession
Did she fall for Marcus? Brenda suddenly felt nervous. Upon hearing that Emily was planning to pursue Marcus, Brenda felt a strong sense of jealousy."Brenda, if you like someone, you should boldly confess your feelings," Emily said. "If you don't seize the opportunity, your crush might be snatched away right in front of your eyes. I like Marcus, so I must seize this chance.""You!" Brenda stomped her foot. "You can't pursue Marcus.""Well, then you pursue him," Emily smirked.Seeing Brenda's silence, Emily said, "You won't pursue him, and you won't let me either? Brenda, you're so selfish!""I …" Brenda was rendered speechless by Emily's retort.The two ladies ended up having a falling out over this.…For the whole day, Brenda was in a daze because Emily intended to pursue Marcus. She couldn't even eat dinner."What's wrong, Brenda?" Vivian, noticing Brenda's unusual demeanor, asked with some confusion."Vivian, I want to confess something to you." Glancing at Marcus, who w
Rags to Riches Chapter 445 Escaping Death, but Not the Consequences
Jameson had long coveted Brenda but had been struggling without the right opportunity. Tonight presented the perfect chance, and he wasn't about to let anyone ruin his plan.Marcus spoke calmly, "I'm her brother-in-law.""Brother-in-law?" Jameson gave Marcus a skeptical look, sizing him up. "How come I didn't know?"Of course, Jameson knew. The Lorimers in Cromford had a low-ranking son-in-law. This son-in-law wasn't highly regarded within the Lorimers in Cromford. Judging by Marcus' appearance, he might be handsome, but his plain attire indicated his lack of favor within the Lorimers in Cromford. Therefore, Jameson didn't consider Marcus worth his attention."I've never heard Brenda mention having a brother-in-law," Jameson said, showing disdain. "Who are you, some wild man? Don't mess with me, get out of here!"As he spoke, Jameson tried to shove Marcus. However, the moment Jameson's hand reached out, Marcus seized it. With a swift push, Jameson stumbled backward several steps
Rags to Riches Chapter 446 Past Events
After that, a heart-rending howl was heard. Jameson's right foot was completely destroyed. …Meanwhile, Francesco was in a mansion at the Northfort Chamber of Commerce. He told his housekeeper, "After half an hour, head over to this bar located in the city center. Bring that bastard back here. I don't care if he's dead or alive."The housekeeper replied politely, "Yes, Mr. Guthrie Senior!"Marcus threw aside the steel pipe that he was holding. Then, he walked to a drunk Brenda and carried her up."Brenda, you're drunk," Marcus said helplessly. "I'm not drunk." Brenda grabbed his neck tightly. Then, she muttered to herself, "Marcus, you've already divorced my sister. Why can't I woo you?""I …" Marcus was at a loss for words. However, Brenda had already fallen asleep in his arms. He shook his head, and could only carry her home. The next morning, Brenda woke up early. Since Lincoln, Lisa, Vivian, and Marcus were at home, she conveniently informed them of an importan

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 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

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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
