The Heir's Return
After disappearing for five years, Javon Forger returns from prison—not as the failed, spoiled son he once was, but as a living weapon forged by a secret cultivation technique. He finds his father missing, his family's company on the brink of ruin, and enemies at every turn. His newfound power is immediately tested as he must defend his family name from rapacious business rivals.
At his lowest point, Javon is viciously betrayed by his fiancée, Aleesha Edelweis, who casts him aside for a more powerful man and reneges on a crippling debt that was his last hope. With his honor trampled, help arrives from an unexpected source: Sherly, his ex-fiancée's paralyzed cousin. In a startling sacrifice, Sherly offers to marry Javon herself, upholding a promise her own family has long forgotten.
Now, bound by an unexpected marriage, Javon wages a war on two fronts. He must protect his fragile yet resolute new ally while unravelling the vast corporate conspiracy behind his father's disappearance—a mystery with roots stretching back to a vow he made in his dark prison cell, suggesting his downfall was no accident.

Chapter: Chapter 278. A Step Toward Celestial“Please,” the Grand Elder replied, leading the way.Before parting, Javon took out a small pouch and handed it to Queen.“I’ll be leaving for a while. Keep these Soul Core Pills. Use them for your cultivation… and to stabilize the Frostborne Vein.”He gave a faint smile. “When I return, don’t fall too far behind.”Queen opened the pouch.Dozens of pills lay neatly arranged inside. Their aura was warm, pure, pressing against her breath.“All of these… were made by Elder Javon?”The surrounding elders fell silent, then murmured in awe.With that quantity, even a Great Grand Master could break through several layers without obstruction.Healers were truly terrifying beings.“Second Elder,” Alderon ordered coldly, “Secure Queen under full protection. I don’t want a repeat of the past.”The memory of Queen nearly falling into the hands of the Lincoln family was still too fresh. After Queen was escorted away, Alderon turned to Derric Aljair.“Do you think I don’t know what your son has done

Chapter: Chapter 278. Elder of the Alchemy AssociationMagnus nodded. “A rank above ordinary elders. Twenty-eight seats. A salary of eight thousand Aetherstone per month.”He looked at Javon. “With your abilities, you are qualified. But not yet.”Then he turned toward the girl behind them. “Selena. Elder number one hundred ninety-four. Your room is next door.”Selena gave a bitter smile, saluted, then left.“Vincent Chester?” Alderon asked.“Waiting to regain consciousness.”They continued the tour.In the trading area, a young man ran over. “President, this is Elder Javon’s token.”Javon accepted it and slowly turned it over. The engravings were neat, and the weight felt just right. “Not bad,” he muttered.Lina, who had been following behind the whole time, let out a small laugh. “I really didn’t expect you to come this far.”Javon merely smiled faintly.He knew one thing for certain starting today, his position in this world had changed.“This is your salary for this month.”Magnus opened his storage ring. A cloth pouch appeared in his

Chapter: Chapter 278. An Eight-Thousand Aetherstone Agreement“If that’s the case, then what’s the ‘but’?” Alderon’s voice carried a hint of tension, though his eyes burned with hope. “Young Master Javon, please speak frankly.”Javon rested his chin on the back of his hand. His gaze swept briefly across the hall before he casually raised three fingers.“Three thousand Aetherstone per month,” he said calmly. “Those ten training slots will belong entirely to the Aljair family.”He was not part of the Aljair family. And he was certainly not someone inclined toward charity. Everything had to be made clear from the outset.Without the slightest hesitation, Alderon nodded immediately. “I agree.”His voice was quick, almost as if he feared Javon might change his mind.Three thousand Aetherstone? Training ten mid-tier healers would cost several times that amount. By any calculation, the Aljair family stood to gain.But before the atmosphere could truly settle—“Four thousand Aetherstone per month.”A foreign voice cut in.A middle-aged man stepped forwa

Chapter: Chapter 277. Illusion-Shattering Pill“Why does Javon only have one set of ingredients?”“Maybe that’s his limit.”The elders of the Aljair family exchanged glances. Refining four tier-four pills at once was already a miracle.The incense continued to burn down. Less than ten minutes remained.“Looks like you’ve run out of tricks, Javon,” Vincent mocked.His fifth pill was nearly complete.“The Chester flame is too dominant!”“The fifth one is out!”Vincent raised another King Blood Pulse Pill, smiling in satisfaction. He turned toward Javon, who had only just finished refining the medicinal liquid. “You’re out of strength,” he said, shaking the pill slightly.Javon did not respond. He calmly began forming the core.Vincent glanced at the other contestants.Selene, three pills. Malvin, four. Roland and Charles, only two.Only one threat remained.“For the sixth, I won’t give him any chance!” Vincent forced the Heart of the Sea Flame beyond its limit.The incense ash fell.At the very last second, the sixth pill was comple

Chapter: Chapter 276. Heart of the Sea Flame“Surprised?” Vincent smiled with satisfaction. “This is the Heart of the Sea Flame. I obtained it from the Voidfire Nation. Far superior to your qi flame.”Blue fire enveloped the furnace. The air trembled, space itself seeming to bend. Its temperature was brutal, twice that of ordinary flames. The refinement of the medicinal liquid proceeded at lightning speed.“He was hiding this card?”“A rare flame…”“With this, the Chester family is almost guaranteed first place.”Vincent’s father wore a faint smile in the spectator seats. That flame had been prepared specifically for today.“Prepare your Aetherstone,” Vincent said with a soft chuckle.Javon did not respond. He took out four sets of medicinal plants at once.BAM!A short explosion rang out. Four fireballs appeared simultaneously. In a single breath, all the plants melted perfectly.The crowd fell silent.“Four… at once?!”“Insane! Mass production!”“If it’s about quantity, who can compete with that?”Vincent relied on flame, whil

Chapter: Chapter 275. OverhaulQueen nodded. “That’s right. A hundred years ago, this continent had a different name. After an Overhaul Stage expert appeared, it was renamed.”Javon fell silent for a moment.“Eighteen continents,” Queen continued. “In a hundred years, only two people reached that realm. Skymer is simply too poor in spiritual energy.”“What about other regions?”“The North belongs to ancient clans. The West is ruled by demonic creatures. The East…” Queen paused. “That place is dead land.”Javon’s heartbeat quickened.“A meteor fell a thousand years ago. An entire continent vanished. No survivors. No one knows whether it was a natural disaster or man-made.”“No one investigated?”“Many did. Even Overhaul Stage experts. None of them returned,” Queen said quietly. “Only one person supposedly came back alive. He went insane… then disappeared.”Javon let out a long breath. “Looks like… I still have a lot to learn.”Queen and Javon wandered through Sanctum Alchemica without any clear destination. Before t
