Rags to Riches Chapter 525 You Must Pay What You Still Owe Us
It might have sounded as though Jill was very angry and disappointed with Marcus earlier. However, she had begun to place a lot of faith in Marcus ever since he had repeatedly helped rescue Jill previously. That was also why she had lost her temper when she saw how carefree Marcus was just now. It was as if he had paid no care to the Lorimers' requests at all. Still, Jill did not hesitate to share her concerns with Marcus. "What? Which company was it?" Marcus' interest was piqued upon hearing Jill's words. "How dare they take our goods but refuse to make the payment!" Marcus would not just stand and do nothing while someone was trying to take advantage of his business. "Huh?" Jill was a little surprised by how worked up Marcus was. Then, she snorted, "You're reacting as if you're the owner of Phisteele Corporation." "I am the owner of Phisteele Corporation," Marcus thought to himself. "You have quite a strong sense of responsibility." After a brief pause, Jill started
Rags to Riches Chapter 526 He's Giving Dawson Orders
As soon as Sylvester stopped laughing, two of his men darted toward Marcus. They unsheathed their swords and held their blades against Marcus' neck. In a flash, Marcus was flanked between those two men. The two of them were ready to slit Marcus' throat open at Sylvester's command. Meanwhile, Sylvester was a little surprised to see how calm and composed Marcus looked. "Are you not afraid?" Marcus lifted a brow. "Why should I be afraid?" "You know you'll be one step closer to losing your life if my men push the blades of their swords further to your neck!" Sylvester said in a chilling voice, "I would have no qualms in getting rid of you for good. Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant to death for me!" "Is that so?" Marcus smiled contemptuously. "I am certain that I can have you killed before these blades reach my throat, though. Would you like me to show you?" "You're insane! Preposterous, even!" Sylvester let out a hearty laugh. He clapped his hands and said,
Rags to Riches Chapter 527 The Wealthiest Families of Easton Gathers
Sylvester had never met any of these individuals but had seen them in newspapers and magazines. Hence, he could easily recognize them. They were the heads of quasi-royal families of Easton. The quasi-royal families fell between the aristocrats and royal families. They fell short of royal standards but were much more affluent than aristocrats. They were also terrifyingly influential. For someone like Sylvester, he would have to endure the humiliation silently even if the quasi-royal families were to relieve themselves on him. Otherwise, he could never establish himself in Easton. "Greetings, esteemed family leaders!"Sylvester panicked and hurriedly greeted them once more. Nevertheless, the heads of these quasi-royal families could not be bothered to acknowledge Sylvester. All of them were arrogant, holding their heads high. That made Sylvester feel very awkward. "The head of the Xenaki family has arrived!""The head of the Yelo family has arrived!""The head of the H
Rags to Riches Chapter 528 The Celo Family and Their Imagination
Marcus' statement basically determined Sylvester's future in Merania.The latter had spent many years in Merania. All of his profits were from business transactions with local companies. Once Sylvester left Merania, his source of income would be gone, too. However, he could only accept such a fate. After all, Sylvester could not afford to offend anyone in the room. Dawson immediately nodded and answered, "I understand! Don't worry, Mr. Coleman. You won't see Sylvester in Easton or anywhere in Merania from today onward."Not only that, Easton Sun Corporation and all its related industries will also disappear!""That's good." Marcus was extremely satisfied. "Furthermore, on behalf of nearly a hundred prominent family leaders, I'd like to express our stance," Dawson continued. "Whenever we see anyone like Sylvester, we'll drive them away immediately."We'll never tolerate any foreigners who think they're superior to Meranians!"The other heads of wealthy families echoed, "We
Rags to Riches Chapter 529 Misunderstood by Jill and Vivian
Roman had made an astonishing discovery. He could not believe that with the Celo family of Easton's power, he failed to find out who the secret boss was. Not only that, but he could not even get the person in charge, Elijah's personal number. The only thing they found out was Jill's information, at best. "We'll settle for the vice president, then," Roman uttered. He realized tracking down the secret boss or even Elijah was hard. Meanwhile, Jill was the one overseeing the day-to-day operations. And so, Roman called Jill. After introducing himself, he recounted Marcus' visit to Easton for debt collection while adding unnecessary drama. "So, Marcus relied on the Celo family of Easton. That's why he had successfully gotten the money," Jill mumbled. The finance department had called her earlier. They informed Jill that the 99 billion dollars Easton Sun Corporation owed had been transferred to their account.Upon hearing the news, she was delighted and even held Marcus in a
Rags to Riches Chapter 530 The Phisteele Corporation Gala
With that, Marcus hung up.On the other end of the line, the infuriated Zenny yelled, "What? How dare the loser hang up on me? "He's driving me crazy!"Roman, beside Zenny, had long noticed it. The latter commented, "He's indeed arrogant."Zenny, keep a close eye on the every move of that loser. Looks like he's addicted to using the Celo family's name. We must take countermeasures!"Zenny promptly answered, "Yes, Mr. Celo Senior!"…Marcus had just hung up on Zenny when Elijah called. So, using the excuse of going for his rounds, Marcus headed to the president's office, where Elijah was."Congratulations, Marcus!" Elijah exclaimed with a grin. He continued, "Phisteele Corporation's market value has surpassed 100 billion dollars. It's now the leading company in the capital. "I believe in no time, we'll become the key industry player of the capital!""Yeah," Marcus responded while nodding. "That's why I took this opportunity to organize the gala. "I want all of the empl
Rags to Riches Chapter 531 The Beautiful President Has a Crush on Marcus
What Marcus had said was the truth. On the surface, the Phisteele Corporation Gala was to celebrate their market value surpassing 100 billion dollars. However, in actuality, it was to let the secret boss, Marcus, make an appearance. The event would become meaningless if the main character did not attend the gala. Nevertheless, Jill was unaware of all this. Hence, she thought Marcus was merely boasting. After all, he was close with the secret boss. So, Jill thought it was only natural that he would jump on the opportunity to show off his capabilities. Jill waved her hand and said, "Okay! I know you're impressive. I also know you're on good terms with the secret boss. "I just don't understand why he would hold a head of security in such high regard!""That's because I'm uniquely charming!" Marcus answered with a grin. Jill sneered in response. "Is that so? Why didn't I notice it?"Oh, by the way, I called you over to discuss something important."After all that bantering

So, Vivian rushed back to the Lorimer residence in Cromford. "Grandma, what's the matter?" Vivian asked anxiously.Upon entering the house, she noticed Nora, Luke, Faye, and the others were all present. "Yes, something major has happened," Luke answered. He continued, "Vivian, do you know that a significant matter had occurred recently? Phisteele Corporation is holding a gala to celebrate their market value surpassing 100 billion dollars."Vivian wore a confused expression. "I've heard about it. But what does it have to do with us?""Of course, it has something to do with us!" Nora exclaimed, tapping the ground hard with her cane. With a stern expression, she questioned, "Are you not seeing the bigger picture here? You must quickly think of a way to get an invitation to Phisteele Corporation's gala!"Even though Vivian had gotten an invitation from Jill, the former did not tell them about it. She wanted to know why the Lorimers insisted that she attend the gala."Phisteele

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

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.

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.

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.

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
