Rags to Riches Chapter 483 The Celo Family Becomes a Laughingstock
"Yeah, exactly!" Roman nodded. "We missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! What were you thinking, Caleb?""It's really not my fault, sir." Caleb thought about the burly men who wanted to cause trouble. "I was going to inform you about it, but something unexpected happened. That's why I couldn't let you know in time.""And what exactly was that?" Roman asked.Caleb answered, "Someone wanted to cause trouble for the commander-in-chief.""What?" Roman was shocked. Then, he roared, "Who would have the nerve to cause trouble for the commander-in-chief?""There was a group of men, probably about a few dozen of them. They all looked menacing. It was a good thing I showed up when I did and showed them the Celo family's medallion. It was enough to scare them off.""Good job, Caleb," Roman said in satisfaction. "It looks like they didn't know about the commander-in-chief's identity, then. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to do anything to him. "I suppose you indirectly did something
Rags to Riches Chapter 484 The Celo Family Wants to See the Commander-In-Chief
Things were especially bad when the other members of the royal family who were on equal standing with the Celo family heard about this. They made fun of the Celo family and said the Celo family was still delighting in being used as a pawn.These so-called members of the royal family would only make fun of each other and prod them in their sore spots. They didn't care that the Celo family had played a part in Zedekiah's success.The way they saw it, the Celo family's contributions were only a result of Zedekiah's strategizing. For a period, the Celo family's reputation among the royal family plummeted.Roman sighed and lamented fate every day. He hated being mocked but couldn't do anything about it."It looks like we have to think of a way to turn the tides." He gathered the core members of the Celo family and said worriedly, "Otherwise, we'll become the target of everyone.""I agree." Xavion nodded. "I think the only one who can turn the tides for us now is the commander-in-chief.
Rags to Riches Chapter 485 Mutual Misunderstandings
Dominic was super friendly, making Roman think Zeno was a big deal in the Great Mountain Brigade. He even mistook Zeno as the commander-in-chief's right-hand man.The grand reception by the Grand Capital War Zone commander and other generals conveyed just how important Zeno was. Roman couldn't wait to brag about it later.Zeno, Roman's fifth grandson, was a standout in the Great Mountain Brigade. His status was evident as the Grand Capital War Zone personally welcomed their family.Others in the Celo family felt the same. Even those who didn't get along with Zeno before were now planning to befriend him.Zeno shone brightly in the Celo family of Easton. The commander-in-chief admired him, and he was a vital player in the Great Mountain Brigade. It seemed like a promising future for the Celos. They might even outshine royal families.Once they rose above the royal ranks, they could enter the elite circle of the capital's prestigious families.Roman was thrilled. He didn't kn
Rags to Riches Chapter 486 The Celos' Disdain for Marcus
Dominic felt extremely embarrassed to be scolded by Marcus. He never expected Marcus to dislike the Celo family so much.This situation was like a compliment gone wrong.The fact that he awarded them an honorary certificate made the misunderstanding worse.However, since the certificate had already been given, Dominic couldn't retract it without embarrassing himself.At that moment, Dominic realized that the Celos didn't know Marcus's real identity. Otherwise, with Roman being Marcus's grandfather, he would have directly approached Marcus. However, Dominic couldn't confront the Celos about it.When he returned to the reception room, he awkwardly explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Celo Senior. The commander-in-chief is not in the Grand Capital War Zone at the moment.""Oh? Not here?" Roman looked disappointed and asked, "Commander Dominic, could you please check again where the commander-in-chief is? I'd like to go see him myself.""Mr. Celo Senior, please mind your words," Dominic sai
Rags to Riches Chapter 487 The Powerful Tiger Seal Medal
The high-profile return of the Celos to Easton caused a stir in the royal circles. The Celos, especially Zenny and some younger members of the family, saw their social status elevate among the scions. Zeno, the hope of the Celo Family of Easton, was put on a pedestal and frequently mentioned in royal circles.Roman was glad to see the positive changes, unaware that Zeno had nothing to do with these developments. It was Marcus who should be credited.Ever since receiving the warning from the Celos, the Lorimers of Cromford had been toeing the line and laying low, without even attempting to separate Marcus from Vivian.Meanwhile, Marcus busied himself with the wedding plans while simultaneously founding a private security company, which he had started working on since the previous gathering of war comrades.He aimed to continuously attract veterans to work at the private security company, providing financial security for those veterans.Besides that, the founding of his firm would h
Rags to Riches Chapter 488 A Visit From Easton United Entertainment
Cassidy's odd behavior made Vivian curious. It appeared that Cassidy deeply cared for Marcus' friend, from the way she looked baffled by him upon their first encounter.She wondered, "Tell me, Cassidy, do you have a crush on Marcus' friend?"Cassidy was shocked by Vivian's nonsensical remark. Still, she reckoned it'd be better for Vivian to misunderstand her feelings for Zedekiah than to correctly guess Zedekiah's identity."No, Ms. Lorimer. You've got it wrong." Blushing, Cassidy denied it, "It's not what you're thinking. I came from the military and have a special connection to medals.""Is that so?" Vivian wore a look of realization. "Since you care deeply about medals, I'll give this medal to you!"Cassidy jumped in shock and waved her hand. "No! You can't. Ms. Lorimer, this might be a second-hand item, but it's a wedding gift from Mr. Coleman's friend after all. You cannot regift it to me."Vivian agreed with Cassidy's reasoning. "You're right." She gave it some thought and
Rags to Riches Chapter 489 Poaching Talent
Having been recently recruited by Marcus as the Deputy Head of the Security Department at Tension Inc., Donald naturally possessed the authority to prevent activities involving the leakage of trade secrets."Excuse me, live streaming isn't permitted here."Upon noticing a female Internet celebrity stepping into Tension Inc.'s data room and showcasing everything on her live stream, Donald promptly intervened."Hey, who are you?" Chantelle, the Internet celebrity, sneered at Donald, wearing a contemptuous expression. "Do you even realize you're disrupting my live stream?"In my live stream, I connect with millions of fans. Can you handle the responsibility of disrupting that?""Leaking Tension Inc.'s trade secrets is a responsibility you can't bear either." Donald, unaffected by the Internet celebrity's attractiveness, asserted, "By the way, I'm Donald, Head of Security at Tension Inc.""Head of the Security Department?" Chantelle mocked, maintaining her contemptuous tone. "Isn

Even though Vivian was pretty mad, she handled the matter with Courtney well. "Courtney, think about what Mr. Sandman said, okay? Even though you've signed a long-term contract with Tension Pictures, we can terminate it early if it's in your best interest.""Ms. Lorimer is indeed generous," Seth said with a smirk. "Ms. Paulsen, have you ever thought about checking out Easton United Corporation? We've got some sweet opportunities."Come on, there's no need to overthink it. The deal I'm throwing your way is too good to pass up anyway."Seth thought he had this in the bag. Contrary to his belief, Courtney shook her head and rejected the offer."No, thanks for the offer, Mr. Sandman. I think it's more suitable for me to stay and develop at Tension Pictures."Before this, Gareth and some others saw their aspirations crumble at Horizon Celestial, misled by the promise of a powerful conglomerate. It was a lesson still vivid in her memory.Seth's whole cocky vibe didn't sit well with

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
