Rags to Riches Chapter 57 Trap
As the Drakon, Marcus' wealth was beyond the Colemans' imagination.Thus, the Colemans were nothing to him."Relax. I won't kill you. I need a dog like you to relay my message to those arrogant people in the capital. "Tell them that they can do whatever they want before I return to the capital. "But, once I set foot into the capital, every one of you has to kneel before me." His words held so much pressure that Lucian almost wet his pants."C-Can I go now?" Lucian pleaded. He regretted it so much. If he could turn back time, he wouldn't have come to Cromford.It was a nightmare!"Sure." Marcus stared at Lucian expressionlessly."T-Thank you …" A joyful Lucian tried to get on his feet.However, his knees went weak, causing him to flop on the floor.Since Marcus might take back his words, Lucian swallowed his pride and crawled his way out."Since your legs are useless, I guess there's no point in keeping them." Marcus snorted and threw a few toothpicks at him.The toothpi
Rags to Riches Chapter 58 Right-Hand Man
Vivian trembled at the contemptuous gazes from her relatives. She almost bit her lip until it bled.They were her family. She couldn't understand why they wouldn't believe her or listen to her explanation."It's alright." Marcus stepped forward, standing in front of her."Since you're going to expel Vivian from the family, you could've just told her privately."There's no need to make a fuss by coming all the way here. But since you're here, I'm sure you have conditions, don't you, Grandma?" He looked at Nora coldly.He wondered what she was scheming this time."Oh? It seems like the matrilocal son-in-law has the final call in your family." She stared at him.She continued, "We're not that cruel. It is true that Vivian is shameless for not staying true to her marriage vows."But this is her first mistake and she has contributed a lot to the company. We can settle the score as long as Vivian promises us two things."Now that Nora was finally revealing their true intentions, Luk
Rags to Riches Chapter 59 My Wife
The air went still for a second before everyone burst into laughter."A loser will always be a loser. He can put up with something ordinary people can't accept.""Isn't it? Everyone in Cromford knows that a mysterious billionaire lavishes on Vivian. But this idiot is saying that he's the mysterious billionaire's right-hand man!""How funny!"The Lorimers were laughing their heads off.Luke glared at Marcus for forgetting about the surveillance cameras. Marcus managed to get Vivian away with it because of his careless mistake."Let's go." Nora cast a disdainful glance at Marcus. She deemed him a loser who basked in another's glory. That kind of person wasn't worth to be her concern.Soon, the Lorimers dispersed."Marcus, was that true? Do you know … that mysterious billionaire?" Vivian bit her lip.She couldn't believe it. If Marcus really knew the mysterious billionaire, how was he able to tolerate the fact that another man was lavishing expensive gifts on his wife?Unl
Rags to Riches Chapter 60 Awful
The air turned tense when Marcus and William shook hands."What a soft pretty boy. I'll let you kneel before me and beg for mercy," William thought.He added strength to the handshake as he beamed wider.However, he frowned as he sensed that something was wrong.He was using about 70 percent of his energy, which was enough to break a mug.Yet, Marcus' expression didn't change at all!The situation became strange.No matter how much more energy he mustered, it didn't hurt Marcus one bit.It was as though Marcus had absorbed all his energy!"Is he a martial art artist? So what? I'll take him down!" William thought and put all his strength into his right hand.He was attempting to cripple Marcus' hand!Marcus remained smiling, whereas William's face contorted in agony.He yelped in pain and withdrew his hand. He glared at Marcus resentfully."You … are quite strong." William wanted to curse.But Vivian's dubious gaze made him swallow the words at the tip of his tongue."Yea
Rags to Riches Chapter 61 A Demonstration
Vivian and Brenda were so shocked by Marcus' words that they couldn't help gulping."Stop spouting nonsense if you don't know what you're talking about, Marcus! Do you know how strong Mr. Abernathy's influence in Merania is?"You're gonna drag our whole family down if you offend his favorite student!" Brenda snarled menacingly. She was the first to return to her senses."How dare you say Clemen—Ms. Whitman's performance is awful!" William bellowed. He slapped a hand on the table and shot to his feet.In that instant, silence descended upon the hotel. One could even hear a pin drop.Clementine approached Marcus' table, looking like an ethereal princess in her white dress.William hurried over to her. He wanted to use her as a stepping stone to get to know Theodore."Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Whitman. My name's William Wray, and I'm a professor at Cromford University. I lost my composure earlier because I was trying to stand up for you. I apologize—""Fuck off!" Clementine spat i
Rags to Riches Chapter 62 Master Pianist
"A demonstration?" Clementine asked in disbelief."Yeah. You have to promise that you won't let anyone know I'm the one playing, though. This includes your teacher, Theodore. How's that?" Marcus smiled."I can do that, but … Mr. Abernathy won't necessarily be interested in getting to know you!" Clementine pouted.If she were to be honest, she thought he was bluffing. Marcus sounded good in theory, but when it came to practical application …He didn't resemble a pianist in the slightest!And so, Clementine agreed. "It's a deal!"With that, Marcus headed to the hotel's chairwoman's office. Clementine returned to the banquet hall. She couldn't help wondering whether Marcus knew the hotel's chairwoman.At this moment, a gorgeous woman moved to stand in the middle of the banquet hall. She was the hotel's chairwoman, Sally Fowler.Tonight, she wore a crimson, figure-hugging dress. It showed off all her curves, making her look sexier than ever."Ladies and gentlemen, we've had the ho
Rags to Riches Chapter 63 Something's Happened
"Maybe it's because Marcus pointed out what was wrong with her performance," Vivian said softly. She glanced at Marcus."Hmph! You got lucky this time. If you run your mouth like this again, I'll cut your tongue off!" Brenda said menacingly.The way she saw it, Marcus had had a lucky guess about Clementine's weakness. If not for that, he would've caused trouble for himself and maybe even them!"You must be Ms. Vivian Lorimer. This is my business card. You can call me if there's anything I can help with!" Sally approached them and held out her business card respectfully. When she met Marcus' gaze, she was so anxious that she almost trembled."Huh? Oh, um, thanks! Thanks a lot!" Vivian was taken aback.Sally Fowler, the leader of Cromford City's underworld, was giving her her business card! And she sounded so respectful!"What's going on?" Vivian couldn't help murmuring dazedly."You're incredible, Vivian! I'd like to see whether anyone has the nerve to pick on me now that Sally F
Rags to Riches Chapter 64 Save Me
"What? What happened to Faye?" Vivian and Brenda emerged from their rooms at the same time. They couldn't help glancing at Marcus, who was yawning.He stopped mid-stretch and shrugged. "I know as much as you guys do.""Nora didn't go into detail. She only said it was a serious and urgent matter. She wants everyone to gather at her villa!" Lisa said rather nervously.20 minutes later, the four of them arrived at Nora's villa. There were already several people gathered inside. Nora sat at the head of the table, looking gloomy.As they made their way inside, Marcus looked around and finally spotted Faye crying in a corner. She was surrounded by people around her age."How dare you show your face here, you loser! It's all your fault! You're gonna be the death of me!" Faye looked up, her face ashen.When she saw Marcus, she became hysterical. If not for people holding her back, she would've pounced on Marcus and bitten him."Me, the death of you?" Marcus looked stunned."That's enou

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

Chapter 724 They're the Ones Who Invited Us to Dinner
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. Shye chased them away before they could even enter the door.After all, Shye was the second-ranked bachelor in the capital, and no one dared to offend him.Just like that, Shye had guarded the Yallops' door for a month.Finally, the Yallops had peace.…Meanwhile, Marcus continued to spend his time with Vivian every day during the month.

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.

Chapter 719 I Am Stronger Than All Members of the Meranian Wolf List Top 100
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
