Rags to Riches Chapter 464 Commander-in-Chief's Preference
Upon hearing Zenny's words, Marcus couldn't help but chuckle.Building a statue for himself? That was certainly a novel idea. However, the Celos appeared to be flattering him.On the other hand, Marcus had never been fond of such sneaky methods. "I think It's better if you don't," he said with a cold smile, his expression filled with disdain. "The commander-in-chief doesn't fancy sycophantic gestures.""What sycophantic gestures? What nonsense are you talking about?" Xavion retorted, clearly displeased. "We're building a statue to honor the commander-in-chief's remarkable achievements."And besides, how do you know whether he'll like it or not?" Xavion's words made Zenny and Lachlan glance at Marcus incredulously. "The commander-in-chief won't like it? Are these your words or his?" Xavion grumbled."I said it, which also means the commander-in-chief said it," Marcus replied."Hahaha!" Hearing Marcus' response, Xavion burst into laughter, pointing at him. "Kid, are you telli
Rags to Riches Chapter 465 Suppressing Vivian
The bid proposal from the Lorimer family was submitted by Nora. Although the contents were filled with grandiose words, it was evident that the entire document revolved around the developmental prospects of the Lorimer Group. Like the Childe family, they were trying to make quick money.Initially, Marcus intended to put a red mark on their proposal, but he had a sudden idea. He erased Nora's name and replaced it with Vivian's name. He trusted Vivian to handle the investment, as she had demonstrated her exceptional business talent after taking over Tension Incorporated.Meanwhile, at the Lorimer residence, a gathering was taking place with everyone present.Nora asked Luke, "Luke, how is everything progressing?""Don't worry, Grandma," Luke grinned and replied. "I've handled things with the Prudence County Trading Association. Although it cost us five million, if we secure the investment shares, we stand to make hundreds of millions, or even several billions, in the future!""Y
Rags to Riches Chapter 466 Ten Billion and Three Models
If only local companies participated, Prudence County Trading Association could easily manipulate the investment bidding conference to make even more profit. However, with foreign companies who were unfamiliar with the local situation involved, it would be chaotic. When various forces got involved, the Prudence County Trading Association would have a hard time maintaining control."By the way!" Matthew frowned slightly after hearing Timothy's words. "I heard that provincial government officials are not personally handling this investment bidding conference. Instead, it's entrusted to a young man named Marcus.""I've looked into him," Winston added. "He's only 25 years old and is currently on a secondment in Northfort. He's not a part of the government system.""He's probably another playboy from one of the major families in Easton or the capital. He was probably sent out by the family to gain some experience and take over the family business."These playboys from collateral branc

"I believe this is a win-win situation," said Winston."In the end, it's only a win for the Prudence County Trading Association!" Marcus coldly retorted, his tone sharp. "Our provincial economy has never developed properly all thanks to you fuckers stirring the pot!""You!" Winston was completely caught off guard by Marcus' directness. He was so angry that he pointed at Marcus, saying, "You're simply audacious!""As for how our trading association operates, it's none of your business!" Marcus taunted, his expression disdainful. "Let me break it to you; ten billion is peanuts to me. If I were truly interested in taking a bribe, the amount I'd ask for is enough to bankrupt your entire organization!"I advise you to give up on this idea."Marcus then got out of the car."You fucker!" Winston shouted at Marcus' retreating figure, "Kid, I know your background. Don't act high and mighty with me. If you offend the Prudence County Trading Association, you won't get away unscathed!"Wins
Rags to Riches Chapter 468 No Reason to Exist
These people contributed significantly to the province's GDP, so the provincial government had to disregard some of their actions. In the end, they indirectly controlled this large amount of funds. The governor took all of this into consideration. The five trillion was too significant, especially with the influx of non-local companies.The stakes involved were enormous. If they were allowed to act recklessly, it could lead to turmoil in the business world. That was why the governor handed over the decision-making power to Marcus."These scoundrels parade under a bright banner while plundering the citizens' wealth. Their so-called contribution to the GDP is just moving money from one pocket to another," Marcus said coldly. "Prudence County Trading Association has no reason to exist."Meanwhile, at the Prudence County Trading Association, the Lorimer family sent Luke to present a five-million-dollar check to Matthew, Winston, and Timothy. Including their previous bribes, the Lorimer
Rags to Riches Chapter 469 No Place for the Celo Family
At that moment, the rhythmic and orderly sound of footsteps outside aroused Matthew's suspicion. He gestured toward Timothy and said, "Timothy, go check what's happening."Timothy nodded and walked to the window to look down. His face turned pale, his eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak."What's wrong, Timothy?" Matthew asked when he saw Timothy's reaction."Matthew, I ... you ..." The overwhelming visual impact left Timothy speechless. "Matthew, you'd better see this for yourself."With a heavy expression, Matthew approached the window and looked outside. He was also stunned by what he saw.On the main road, dozens of military vehicles and even some armored cars were parked. Troops of soldiers were marching in place, shouting, "One, two, one ...""How did so many military forces appear?" Matthew suddenly felt that something was off. He noticed that many soldiers were armed among these troops and heading toward Prudence County Trading Association.He loo
Rags to Riches Chapter 470 Vivian's Misunderstanding
"Oh, this brat's wife is quite pretty," Xavion said as he saw Vivian for the first time today. Her beauty immediately caught his attention. "How did he manage to marry such a beautiful wife?"Zenny corrected him, "Xavion, he married into the Lorimer family of Cromford.""Is there a difference?" Xavion rolled his eyes and said, "She's such a beautiful woman, and she still ended up with that fool.""Let's go and say hello!" Zenny and Lachlan had been to Tension Incorporated before, so Vivian was familiar with them."Are you from the Celo family?" Vivian asked with a puzzled expression. "Are you also here to participate in the investment bidding conference?""That's right," Xavion replied with pride. "We, the Celo family, are determined to win this investment bidding conference. As for your family, victory is not so certain."Vivian's face darkened immediately. She had low expectations for the investment bidding conference. If she failed to secure the investment, she planned to
Rags to Riches Chapter 471 The Deception of the Lorimers
While the investment bidding conference proceeded, a gloomy atmosphere hung over the Lorimer family. Just before the conference began, the provincial government issued a major announcement declaring the Prudence County Trading Association an illegal private organization and shutting it down.Nora collapsed immediately hearing this. The Prudence County Trading Association had been the Lorimer family's greatest hope to secure a spot in the investment bidding conference. They even bribed them with 10 million.Now that the Prudence County Trading Association was disbanded, the Lorimer family not only lost its chance to participate in the conference but they also forfeited the 10 million they had paid.Watching various businesses secure satisfactory investment projects at the conference, the Lorimers were left empty-handed.Nora couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh. "A total of five trillion!" She banged her cane on the ground, her voice trembling. "Yet our family didn't get

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. You should know that Chief Commander Wall would not send an incapable person or someone from

"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
