Rags to Riches Chapter 554 The Celo Annual Meeting Has Begun
At that moment, Marcus became a popular guy. At that sight, Lydia hurriedly said, "Get lost! Even if her cousin is looking for a girlfriend, he'd choose someone like me, all chest and not much in the head. I've got the curves in all the right places!"Lydia had always been proud of her curvy physique. Nevertheless, Jordyn refused to back down. "Maybe her cousin prefers a petite girl like me!" she argued. Listening to their banter, Zendaiya was rendered speechless. "What are you girls thinking? I wanted to tell you that my cousin is already married."Lydia and Jordyn's disappointment was evident as soon as they heard that. "Huh? Married?"However, in the next second, they said in unison, "So, when's your cousin getting a divorce?""It's fine if he doesn't get a divorce. I'm willing to be his mistress!" Lydia declared. "Me too!" Jordyn agreed without hesitation. Once again, Zendaiya was at a loss for words. "Oh my goodness! Have you two gone mad?"Although Lydia and Jord
Rags to Riches Chapter 555 A Large-Scale Bragging Event
The Celo family of Easton had arranged for Marcus to sit in a secluded corner. It was a spot where people would not usually notice. In fact, Marcus was not particularly interested in the Celo Annual Meeting. Although it was a grand event for the entire Celo family, it was not worth mentioning in his eyes. So, Marcus had no objections regarding the Celo family of Easton's arrangements. He sat there and observed the situation in the venue.He had to admit that the Celo family of Easton had put great effort into decorating the venue. They had spent a lot to adorn the place with exquisite decor. The venue exuded a majestic vibe. It was on par with Easton City's Tenth Anniversary celebration back then. Nevertheless, not everyone with the last name Celo could attend the Celo Annual Meeting. Only the country's top ten branches of the Celo family could participate. These included the Celo family of Easton, the Celo family of Newcove, and the Celo family of Lommore.The family lea
Rags to Riches Chapter 556 Marcus Burst Into Laughter
Roman looked proud when he mentioned Zeno. However, the others appeared confused. Even Titus was curious and asked, "Your seventh grandson, Zeno?" Titus thought about it momentarily before exclaiming, "I remember him! I remember that since he was young, he did not like studying, lacked skills, and had a bad character."He's also a troublemaker! Ultimately, he violated the Celo family's rules, and you locked him up in seclusion."I was present at that time, too. I even spoke up for him and spared him from death!"As Zeno had a bad reputation within the whole Celo family, Titus remembered the incident well.Back then, Roman was about to execute Zeno. Nevertheless, Titus considered the long-term strategy and rushed to the Celo residence in Easton to persuade Roman to spare Zeno's life. That was because Titus knew Zeno would be like a ticking time bomb for the Celo family of Easton. The latter would cause trouble for them at any moment. And that was something Titus was willing
Rags to Riches Chapter 557 The Return of Zeno
At that very moment, Roman and the others were frightened to the core. They could not believe Marcus had the guts to ignore Titus' command. After all, with his authority, the latter held absolute power in the entire Celo family.No one in the Celo family dared to defy his orders. However, Roman did not know that Marcus never saw himself as part of the Celo family. Hence, he treated both Roman and Titus the same. So, although the whole Celo family held Titus in high regard, he was still just an outsider to Marcus. Since he was merely an outsider, why should Marcus heed his orders?At that point, Titus wore a grim expression. "Hey, rascal, I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?"Roman's heart thumped violently, fearing Titus would explode in fury. If that were to happen, then it was over for the Celo family of Easton. Even if they managed to invite the commander-in-chief, they still could not wipe away the disgrace Marcus brought about.Titus sensed a dent in his pride as M
Rags to Riches Chapter 558 The Pride of the Celo Family of Easton
Zeno's return was timely! Roman embraced Zeno tightly. It was as if he refused to let the latter go."Mr. Celo Senior, you're hurting me!" Zeno complained helplessly. Only then did Roman realize he had lost his composure. "Okay, I'll let go of you."In the next instant, he remembered that Zeno was a member of the Great Mountain Brigade and the commander-in-chief's right-hand man. Thus, the radiant look on Roman's face returned. He finally let go of Zeno. Then, he sized up Zeno, his seventh grandson whom he had not seen in years. Suddenly, Roman realized something. "Huh? Zeno, are you wearing your military uniform? Why are there no shoulder badges or a unit number?" he asked. In Roman's eyes, Zeno should have been dressed in a grand outfit when he returned to his hometown. There should be a dazzling star on his shoulder and a Great Mountain Brigade's badge on his sleeve. That way, it would bring about a visual impact that would impress the other branches of the Celo fami
Rags to Riches Chapter 559 The Third Presidential Chair
On the other hand, the expressions of Gavin and the family heads from other branches changed. That was because they knew that with Zeno around, they could only surpass the Celo family of Easton if their achievements could impress Titus. However, no matter their remarkable successes, how could it be better than Zeno's title as a major general in the Great Mountain Brigade?Moreover, Zeno was the commander-in-chief's right-hand man."Amazing, amazing, amazing!" Titus said three times. He even affectionately pulled Zeno closer to him. Then, Titus pointed at the chair on the left, saying, "Come sit beside me, Zeno!"At that moment, every member of the Celo family understood why there were two more presidential chairs beside Titus. It seemed like the Celo family of Easton had long prepared for this.One needed to have the qualifications to sit beside Titus. Zeno, with his status as the major general in the Great Mountain Brigade, was indeed eligible. The other Celo family heads co
Rags to Riches Chapter 560 He's Scared Out of His Wits
All eyes were on Roman at the moment, and that made him feel extremely pleased. He announced proudly, "In that case, I shall stop beating around the bush." Roman continued, "I have invited a very special guest today. He is Zeno's superior in the Great Mountain Brigade. He's our one and only commander-in-chief!" Roman's announcement caused a small commotion among their guests. The commander-in-chief was the second most powerful man in all of Merania. Six years ago, their army defeated the enemy troops that tried to invade the Meranian borders solely under his command. The opposing army, which consisted of men from over 40 countries, faced a huge defeat.The commander-in-chief was deemed an unmatched war god for his great military achievements. He was also the only person who was bestowed the title of commander-in-chief since the founding of Merania. Almost all men in Merania considered the commander-in-chief their idol. Yet, Roman claimed to have invited the renowned war
Rags to Riches Chapter 561 You Are No Longer Members of the Easton Scions
They were in the middle of the Celo Annual Meeting. To be disciplined in front of all the different branches of the Celo family would be extremely mortifying. It was already a delicate situation for Roman as he had revealed something unsavory about the Easton Celo family. Unfortunately, Roman had run out of options. It was all because of Marcus that he had come to this decision. If they did not cut ties with Marcus as soon as possible, the young man might cause more trouble for the Easton Celo family later on. Moreover, the commander-in-chief would be arriving at any moment. Roman did not mind losing face in front of the other branches of the Celo family. However, it would be unacceptable if they were to cause a scene while the commander-in-chief was around. Roman turned to Titus and asked, "Sir Titus, can I have your permission to discipline the young man now?" "Alright." Titus nodded in affirmation. "Although all of the Celo families have gathered at our meeting today t

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

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.

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.

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.

"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?
