2025-02-19 01:02:33"If I may say so, this young man does have quite the appealing face for a girl your age," he said with a wide grin, teasing Harper. Looking back and forth between the two, the cultivator could tell there was something between them.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Though offended by the cultivator's words, Harper tried to keep her tone calm. "Please refrain from making baseless remarks and let us pass."
"Hahaha!" Instead of letting them go, the cultivator burst into laughter as if he hadn't heard Harper at all. "Your reaction—so, am I wrong to conclude that the two of you are engaged in a scandalous affair? Hahaha!"
A grave accusation!
"Sir, mind your words." Lifting her head, Harper's fair and delicate face turned bright red with anger and humiliation. "I am not a woman without principles. So do not say anything beyond your bounds before knowing the truth." Her tone was neither harsh nor loud, but it was undeniably firm.
"Hahaha! Look at that! You'r

"Let's go." Marc casually continued walking toward the door and opened it. As before, Harper obediently followed him.As they stepped out of the cultivator’s room, the bodyguards stationed at the door looked visibly surprised to see Harper walking behind Marc. However, before they could say anything, the young man and the girl had already walked away.A few moments later, Harper got into the driver’s seat of her car without saying a word after seeing Marc enter the passenger side. Having witnessed the young man’s abilities, her perception of him had significantly changed.No one in this city had ever been able to defeat Shadow, yet Marc had done it as if it were nothing. Even if his cultivation level was only at Level 10, did it even matter when he possessed other abilities that made him powerful enough to take down the ninja?Realizing this, Harper refrained from speaking or protesting. With his skills, wouldn’t it have been easy
The Majestic Heir Chapter 110 - The Answer Is No
"You already know what my answer will be, don't you?" With a faint smile, Marc's reluctant expression said it all—of course, the girl wouldn’t be able to attend her own party."You're unbelievable!" Harper pouted, her face tense with frustration. Her clenched fists slammed against the steering wheel of her car—she was absolutely furious and disappointed. Tonight’s party, where she was supposed to gather with her fiancé and friends, would have to go on without her."Good evening and welcome, sir and ma’am." A valet bowed politely and smiled at them. As a modest hotel located right across from a five-star establishment, it was a rare opportunity for The Comfort’s staff to receive such distinguished guests. Luxury cars rarely stopped at their hotel, let alone one as high-class as the Huracán STJ they were driving."Is there anything I can assist you with?" As a valet, it was an honor for him to help the owner of suc
The Majestic Heir Chapter 111 - Not Just A Bunch of Thugs
"Bastard!" Harper, who was already furious, could no longer tolerate their insolent attitude. "It seems like your mouth needs to be disciplined!"Harper might not have been able to use a spell to brainwash these thugs, as she had already exhausted her mental strength by casting it multiple times that day. However, that did not mean she was powerless.As a level-six cultivator, it should have been no problem for her to teach them a lesson.Channeling her inner energy into her palm, Harper swung it forcefully toward the face of the man in the short-sleeved shirt. Swish! The air whistled as her slap cut through it.However, her eyes widened in shock when the man effortlessly pulled his face back with a relaxed expression, as if dodging Harper’s attack was no trouble at all."Wow, wow, wow! Look at this! Not only is this girl incredibly beautiful, but she’s also quite feisty! Hahaha! Totally my type!"Rather than being alarmed or int

"Let go of my hand! I said let go, you bastard!" Harper shouted in frustration and despair as the man dragged her towards the open door of his Jeep."Hahaha, I heard you're getting engaged in a few days," the man sneered. "How about I show you what a real man is like?""At least you’ll have something to compare with that soft, cowardly noble later! But I guarantee, once you get a taste of me, you’ll be hooked, hahaha!""Shut your filthy mouth before I smash it in! Don’t you dare say anything about my fiancé!""Oh, baby, why don’t you trust me?" With a playful smirk and lips puckered mockingly, the short-sleeved man holding Harper’s hand didn’t immediately drag her into the car. Instead, he continued to taunt her. "I wonder if you'll still say the same thing once I have you pinned down, hahaha!""You bastard! You’ll regret everything you’re doing! I swear you’ll regret it!"Harper s

Bang!Before any of the three shirtless men could react, one of them was sent flying backward as an invisible yet brutally powerful punch struck his face. Crashing hard onto the ground, he lost consciousness instantly."What the hell!"The man in the button-up shirt cried out, his eyes widening in shock as he watched one of his men get taken down so swiftly and effortlessly by this unseen attacker."Bastard! Show yourself and fight me like a man! If you're human, stop hiding in the shadows!"He couldn’t recall ever making an enemy, and even if he had, he would have crushed them first. However, it was clear that this attacker possessed some sort of special camouflage technique that rendered them invisible.Bang!Instead of responding to the challenge, another one of his men was suddenly flung into the air before crashing to the ground, his head slamming onto the floor first. If he hadn’t suffered internal injuries, he&rsquo
The Majestic Heir Chapter 114 - I Am Here
"Come out. It's safe now; I've taken them all down." Undoing the restraints on Harper's hands and mouth, Marc gestured for her to step out of the car."You're awful! Awful! You have no heart! You're not even human!"Instead of getting out, the girl lunged at Marc with both hands, flailing wildly in hysteria."How could you leave me alone? What if they had done something to me? Did that thought never even cross your mind?"Tears streamed down her face, her expression a mixture of shock, sadness, despair, and anger."But I'm here. Of course, I wouldn’t have let them take you," Marc said calmly."Shut up! I’m truly disappointed in you!" With her voice thick with emotion, Harper pulled her knees up onto the seat, hugged them tightly, and buried her face against them.As mentioned before, Harper had grown up in a safe environment. Wherever she went, a group of bodyguards would always be close by, watching over her from both nea
The Majestic Heir Chapter 115 - The Suite
"Stop. Put me down." Before exiting the underground garage, Harper stopped Marc and immediately got off his back. Slipping on her sandals, she quickly wiped her eyes and steadied her emotions.As the most beautiful and wealthiest girl in Wyndham, everyone viewed her as a lioness. That was why she refused to appear vulnerable in front of anyone."Welcome, sir and madam. Would you like a suite or..." A neatly dressed female receptionist stood up from her seat behind the front desk, smiling brightly as she saw the two entering the lobby. However, before she could finish her sentence, her expression suddenly froze."I'm not seeing things, am I?" she thought. "Isn't that Miss Winslow?"The receptionist tried to mask her shock, but her expression betrayed her. Never in her life had she imagined that Wyndham's richest young lady would set foot in the modest hotel where she worked."Yes, we’ll take the suite," Marc said with a smile. Though The Comfort had a suite, it was, of course, nothing
The Majestic Heir Chapter 116 - The Dinner
Thirty minutes later.Knock, knock!Harper sat on the sofa, staring out the window, her face unable to hide the sadness she felt, when a knock sounded at the door."Go away! Don't even think that I'll open the door for you!" she shouted from inside her room.Knock, knock!As if ignoring her outburst, the knocking came again."Are you deaf? I already told you not to bother me!" Harper yanked the door open, yelling at the person standing outside—Marc."Aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten anything since earlier, have you?" Ignoring the annoyance written all over her face, Marc glanced into the living room."Look, I ordered plenty of food for both of us.""Go away! I'm not hungry!"Harper was about to slam the door shut again when her gaze landed on the living room. In that instant, her eyes widened in shock.What the—?!On the main table in the living room and on a smaller side table, dozens of plates were piled with various dishes. But that wasn't the most shocking part.On the floor,

"We swear to follow the kingdom’s laws—completely, without question!"Drenched in sweat, his voice cracking with desperation, the mayor writhed on the ground, hands bound behind his back as he looked up at Elliot with pleading eyes."Lord Griffin, please! We’re begging you—have mercy!"But Elliot didn’t even flinch. His expression remained cold, unmoved.He stepped down from the podium and slowly walked toward the mayor, who lay sprawled on the ground, trembling."You still have the nerve to say that now?"Elliot’s tone stayed level, but the restrained fury behind his voice was impossible to miss."Where was all this remorse a year ago? Didn’t I make it clear that this punishment should’ve been carried out back then? You had your chance. I gave you time. So why didn’t you take it?"His words sliced through the silence like a blade. Despite the weight of what he was saying, Elliot’s face remained stone cold.A year ago, the crimes these men committed warranted nothing short of death. B
Chapter 265 - The Pact Made Thirty Years Ago (Part 1)
"Grizelda, what are you talking about?"The man, Elliot, fired back with a puzzled look on his face. His tone was laced with disbelief, like her accusation had come out of nowhere."Open your eyes—and your mind. You're making baseless claims. And really, how could you forget something so important?"His expression hardened as he locked eyes with her. Whatever this was, Elliot wasn’t treating it lightly."Let me remind you of the blood pact we made: no human is allowed to cross the Pennigor Mountains without permission. Anyone who does... dies."The Pennigor Mountains stretched across the southern edge of Cammont County, separating it from the massive Eldrador Forest. Since Cammont was the southernmost region of Walenstein Province, the mountains also served as a border to Brynmor, the neighboring province.But truth be told, most people in Walenstein didn’t even consider Eldrador—or Brynmor for that matter—part of the Lanshire Kingdom.Why? Because the people there acted more like bea
Chapter 264 - You Gotta Be Willing to Die for What You Believe In
"You keep going on and on about revenge—like I owe you something for those goblins—without even thinking about what they did to the human race."Marc's voice echoed from inside the inn’s lobby, each word growing louder as he stepped closer to Grizelda."Don’t you get it? By standing up for them, you're just as guilty as the ones who tore this place apart. You're not some noble leader—you’re just another monster hiding behind a cause!"As he spat out the last word, Marc stepped fully into view through the shattered remains of the lobby’s doorway.Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, and his right arm hung limply at his side, a faint wisp of smoke still curling from it. No need for a closer look—anyone could see his arm was badly damaged.His shallow, ragged breathing and the pain etched across his face hinted at deeper internal injuries. Still, the fire in his eyes never faded. There was no fear in them, no sign of surrender—just raw, unshakable resolve."So go on. Do it. Hit
Chapter 263 - Grizelda’s Wrath
Rising from the ground, a dark aura surged around Grizelda’s body—thick, ominous, and freezing cold. It didn’t just look dangerous. The air around her turned icy, as if the very atmosphere might shatter from the chill she exhaled.“We goblins never lie,” she said coldly. “And we don’t tolerate lies from others.”The moment she spoke, she vanished—only to reappear instantly, right in front of Marc.“You really are a snake,” she hissed. “You slaughtered my people, and now you have the audacity to trick me? You’re going to die for that.”Her hand shot forward—straight for his throat.Marc’s eyes went wide.What the hell? he thought, heart racing. Why’s she accusing me of playing dirty?Just minutes ago, Grizelda had made it very clear—he could attack from any direction, using any method. That had been the deal. So why flip out now, just because he used a vanish-strike technique?But Marc didn’t have time to argue. The aura coming off her hand alone made it clear—this wasn’t just some fla
Chapter 262 - A Deceptive Move
"I know exactly what you're trying to do. You're just playing games with me, aren't you?"Marc scoffed at Grizelda.Even if she let him hit her a hundred times, it wouldn't matter. She was simply too strong. And Marc was running out of ideas."You're talking too much," Grizelda said coldly, flashing a wide, confident grin. Whether Marc landed a hit or not, she didn’t care. She was already convinced he wouldn’t even come close."Go on. Try. Hit me again. Don’t waste my time."Marc didn’t reply. His eyes locked onto hers, mind racing.This isn’t as simple as I thought...He had two shots left—two chances to strike without being countered. He had to make them count."Alright... let’s do this," he muttered.Taking a deep breath, Marc made a bold decision. He tapped into the pure energy within his dantian—a force far more potent than regular cultivation energy. But it came with a price. It would drain him fast, and if he got hurt while using it, recovery would take very long.Still, he had
Chapter 261 - Three Strikes
"You can read my mind?"Marc narrowed his eyes, staring at Grizelda with a mix of shock and curiosity. He didn’t move his lips—just sent the question straight from his thoughts, trying to confirm his growing suspicion: could this goblin leader really hear what he was thinking?You can talk back to me like this too?Grizelda mirrored his expression, surprised herself. She’d always been able to reach into others’ thoughts—but never had she met someone who could respond to her telepathically.That changed how she saw Marc."Telepathy like this? Piece of cake," Marc replied casually, still speaking with his mind. "But let’s be real—you wouldn’t be able to do it if I didn’t let you in, right?"He wasn’t wrong. Grizelda could hear his thoughts only because he hadn't raised his mental barriers. If he had, she wouldn’t be able to break through, no matter how strong her abilities were."You're right. My power can’t penetrate your mind unless you allow it. But as long as you keep the door open,
Chapter 260 - Opening Strike
Grizelda.The goblin leader of the northern territories.At first glance, there was nothing impressive about her—unless you counted the tattered medieval noblewoman’s dress clinging to her bony frame. It was stained, torn, and filthy. Her short, frail body looked like it had been through hell. Her face and hands were scarred and blistered, like someone who had barely crawled out of a fire alive.To most, she looked exactly like what you’d expect from a goblin—grotesque and terrifying. But that impression flipped completely the moment she entered combat.The moment she unleashed her true power.Whoosh!A blast of wind ripped through the air as Grizelda’s small, shriveled fist shot forward like a bullet. Her hand, leathery and lined with age, was wrapped in a chilling black aura—one that radiated both overwhelming force and a bone-deep cold.The surrounding goblins roared in twisted delight as their leader stepped onto the battlefield. But their joy didn’t last long. The moment she bega
Chapter 259 - Marc’s Power
“You damn goblins think you can just waltz into my territory? You’re all walking to your deaths!”Marc’s roar thundered across the frontyard.Standing about a hundred meters outside the inn’s perimeter, he slammed his foot into the ground and launched himself into the sky. Power surged into his fists, energy crackling around them like a storm ready to break loose.At the peak of his leap—roughly a hundred meters high—he flipped midair and dove straight down, both fists leading the charge like twin meteors aimed at the swarm of ten thousand goblins below.BOOM!The earth quaked as his fists hit the ground. A deafening explosion followed, shaking the night and splitting the silence like a bomb going off.Hundreds of goblins died instantly, crushed or vaporized in the first impact.But the destruction didn’t stop there.A powerful shockwave erupted from the point of impact, blasting outward in a vicious burst of wind that hurled even more goblins into the air like ragdolls.Roar! Roar! R
Chapter 258 - A Different Level of Power
Marc didn’t say a word. His brows furrowed, deep in thought.Leah’s question had clearly shaken something loose in his mind.“She’s right… This doesn’t add up. Ordinary goblins shouldn’t be able to break through the magical seal I set up, right?”That thought echoed loudly in his head.Just like he told Leonie before he left for Asheville, the lobby was supposed to be secure—no matter how many goblins tried to breach it. The magic barrier he installed wasn’t just powerful—it was foolproof against anything below level 5 cultivation.And up until now, not a single goblin he’d encountered had shown power anywhere close to that. They’d all been weaker—far weaker.Even if a hundred or a thousand of them attacked the barrier at once, it shouldn’t have mattered.So if one of them—or something else entirely—actually managed to shatter his seal…There was only one possible explanation.“Could its power really be that high?”Marc felt a knot form in his stomach as that realization hit him. A cr
