Chapter 428
The Montclair family stood second only to the powerful Marlowes among the ten great families of Coastal Flair. Their influence stretched far and wide, their reputation built on wealth, tradition, and political strength.Aurora Montclair, cherished as the jewel of her house, was treated like royalty within her family. She was stunning, poised, and remarkably intelligent, earning the title of the finest lady of Ray City. To many, she was the standard by which others were measured, a woman who embodied both elegance and pride.Yet despite her grace and prestige, Aurora’s life was far from free. At twenty-two, she had never once experienced a romance of her own choosing. Her only official suitor had been Julian Marlowe. His influence and ruthlessness cast a long shadow over her life. Any man foolish enough to show interest in her was swiftly silenced by Julian’s warnings—subtle or otherwise.In truth, Julian had already staked his claim on her in silence. To the outside world, Aurora was

Aurora’s expression darkened, her voice trembling with rage. “My father is dying, and only Dr. Manchester can save him. Yet you want to kill him? Do you want my father dead, Julian?” She through gritted teeth.Julian forced a laugh, his tone condescending. “Aurora, don’t twist my words. Of course I don’t want to harm your father. Why would I, when he’s to become my father-in-law? But this boy—” he jabbed his finger at Adam “—a so-called master healer? Impossible. You’re being deceived. He’s playing you for a fool. He lied about being the Supreme General, so I'm certain he's also lied about being a Master healer. I can't let him keep deceiving more people.”Aurora’s patience snapped. Her eyes burned with fury as she spat back, “Julian Marlowe, enough with your lies! Since when did my father become your father-in-law?”Julian smirked proudly, tilting his chin. “Since the day your parents agreed to an arranged marriage. It’s already settled, Aurora. You and I are bound by fate. You shoul

Julian’s face darkened, his brows knitting into a tight frown. His voice carried a biting edge.“Aurora, you must be mistaken. Him? A master healer? At his age? Impossible.”Aurora stood her ground, refusing to yield to Julian’s skepticism. “A friend I trust referred me. I don’t believe there’s a mistake.” Her tone grew firmer as she looked directly at Adam. “Dr. Manchester, my father’s life is hanging by a thread. Please, I beg you, save him. Whatever your conditions are, I will agree to them.”Adam finally broke his silence, his voice calm but probing. “Who told you about me?”The question sliced through the air, startling even Julian. Adam’s reputation was carefully guarded, known only to a very small circle. For someone to seek him out so directly… it was unusual.Aurora hesitated, then answered, “Winda referred me to you.”Adam’s eyes widened slightly, betraying a rare hint of surprise. “You know Winda?”The name alone was enough to turn heads.Winda Harris—better known by her ot
Chapter 425
Julian’s gaze sharpened like a drawn blade as he glared at Adam. His voice dripped with cold malice.“You didn’t appreciate your second chance, and you dare talk back to me? You’re asking for death… and I shall gladly grant your wish.”His hand lifted slightly, spiritual energy condensing around his palm, the pressure in the room instantly doubling. Even the air itself seemed to grow heavy. The onlookers instinctively staggered back, hearts pounding, waiting for the explosion of violence.“Stop!”A clear, commanding voice rang out just as Julian was about to strike. The sound cut through the tension like a bell in the dead of night, halting even Julian’s hand mid-air.Everyone turned toward the source.A group of people was rushing over, their steps quick and deliberate. At the front was a young woman in a bodycon white dress that clung perfectly to her graceful curves. Her long, dark hair flowed freely down her back, catching the light with each step. She moved like she owned the gro
Chapter 424
Julian stood tall and proud, his presence alone commanding attention. The title of “Noble Young Master” wasn’t something he had inherited simply because of the Marlowe family name. He had earned it. By the age of twenty, he had already broken through into the Grandmaster Realm, a feat so rare in Coastal Flair that his name was etched in the annals of prodigies.Now, at twenty-seven, his cultivation had advanced even further. Standing on the cusp of becoming a late-stage grandmaster, Julian carried himself with a kind of arrogance that came only from knowing he could crush most men with a flick of his wrist. He didn’t just look down on ordinary grandmasters—he considered them stepping stones on his inevitable rise to the pinnacle.His confidence radiated like a sharp blade, filling the hall with invisible pressure.Emboldened by his presence, Eleanor suddenly found her voice. She sneered viciously at Adam. “Adam Manchester, so what if you’re a grandmaster? Don’t flatter yourself. Compa
Chapter 423
He had previously dismissed Adam as nothing more than a bold clown, an overconfident nobody playing a role he couldn’t possibly uphold. Never once did Julian imagine Adam to be a grandmaster.Julian wasn’t the only one whose blood ran cold at the revelation. The others present were shaken to their core. People of Julian’s standing knew exactly what it meant when the word “grandmaster” was spoken. This was no ordinary warrior. This was a man whose strength towered far above the masses, whose very presence carried an invisible weight that could suffocate those around him.The wealthy might buy the loyalty of skilled warriors. They might even train their own guards to reach higher levels. But a grandmaster? That was a different realm entirely. Grandmasters did not bow to money. They did not serve as disposable protectors. They stood above the chains of wealth and power, living as legends.Only the absolute peak of the elite families could even dream of courting one—and even then, grandma
