"Shouldn't his strength have diminished after he stopped being human?"
Terror flooded Preston’s eyes. Instead of dodging or blocking the attack heading his way, his body froze in place—like a statue.
If his opponent had been anyone less powerful than Leopold, he might have had time to think about his next move. But the man standing before him…
"This isn't possible, is it?"
A foolish question, born of sheer desperation, escaped his lips just as a sharp, black, blade-like object pierced his face at high speed.
Crash!
Preston didn't even have time to scream before Leopold, lunging at him with ferocious intensity, sucked the blood spurting from the major general’s face and hungrily sank his teeth into his skin—devouring it as though it were the most exquisite delicacy.
The gruesome sounds of tearing flesh and snapping bones echoed throughout the underground chamber. Leopold hunche

Clang!The sharp clash of two solid objects echoed throughout the room. Yet, there was no one else present except for Leopold and Marc. Moreover, the latter didn’t appear to be wielding any kind of weapon.So where did that sound come from?Roar!At the same time, Leopold’s body was sent staggering half a step backward, his claws trembling violently as if he had just struck an unyielding stone. However, instead of retreating in fear, his monstrous instincts urged him to press forward.Hardening both his palms once more, his sharp, rigid claws extended forward, Leopold swung at Marc’s face again.Clang!Once more, a resounding clang filled the air as his claws made contact with the young man’s face, as if striking an incredibly dense and indestructible metal.And as if confirming his worst fear, the moment Leopold’s claws hit Marc’s face, his body was pushed back again—this time, a full four steps.“Is that all you’ve got, My Lord?” Though Marc’s tone wasn’t mocking, his expression was

"Why does Grandpa have to ruin my mood this early in the morning?"Still fuming with anger, Violet stormed towards the front entrance of the manor, her strides sharp and unrelenting. Parked right in front was her blue McLaren 750S, gleaming under the morning light."Good morning, Miss."A house servant greeted her warmly, his voice polite and respectful. But that only made her irritation worse."Get lost!"Snapping at him, Violet yanked open the car door with her delicate yet surprisingly forceful fingers."Ugh, no. I need to get to the office right now before my mood gets any worse," she muttered under her breath.Moments later, the soft purr of the supercar’s engine echoed through the estate as she sped off, exiting through the front gate.Forty-five minutes later, her car came to a smooth stop right in front of the towering 45-story skyscraper—the headquarters of Richmond Group, a vast conglomerate overseeing numerous subsidiaries. Parking in the front courtyard was strictly reserv
The Majestic Heir Chapter 171 - Yes?
For a brief moment, Violet's face tensed before breaking into an almost impossibly wide smile."Oh, honey. Of course."In an instant, the heavy clouds that had been looming over Violet's expression vanished, replaced by a radiant smile and a gaze burning with desire. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around the slender waist of the woman in the black jacket and pressed her crimson lips against hers."I’ve missed you so much."Smooch!Violet leaned in again, deepening the kiss. It was hot and intense, lasting more than five minutes before the woman finally pulled away, her breath slightly ragged."You seem especially passionate today. What a coincidence—I’ve had a few frustrating days myself. Make me feel better, my big cat."The two women lost themselves in each other, their kisses growing wilder. Within moments, their clothes were scattered across the floor, piece by piece, their moans and soft cries filling
The Majestic Heir Chapter 172 - Another Prisoner
Gripping Leopold's hair tightly with his left hand, Marc clenched his other hand into a fist. At the same time, a faint purple aura emanated from his palm.Leopold was a marquis, a noble of high status—someone who shouldn't even be touched, let alone harmed. Killing him would be a grave offense, of course.But when that same person transformed into a goblin, was he still considered human? And if not, shouldn't the rules change accordingly?Marc's expression remained cold as he raised the index finger of his right hand, pointing it toward the back of Leopold’s neck. Even though the nobleman had turned into a goblin, the young man still wanted to grant him a painless death.On the other hand, as if trying to escape from the grasp of the grim reaper himself, Leopold struggled desperately to break free from Marc’s grip. Forget retaliating or attempting to attack—at this moment, the goblin lacked even the courage to meet Marc’s ga
The Majestic Heir Chapter 173 - A Method
"Alright."Letting out a long breath, Marc simply nodded. After all, the young man standing before him was the son of a marquis.And now, with Leopold in no condition to carry out his duties, it was only a matter of time before Ulrich was officially declared the new Marquis of Walenstein. Even before that happened, though, his opinion still held significant weight."Good. In that case, help me return my father to the isolation chamber." With that, Ulrich sprinted toward the control room.At the same time, Marc, still holding Leopold in his arms, moved with such incredible speed that he seemed to vanish. Within moments, he had placed Leopold back inside the chamber. Ulrich immediately pressed a button, sealing the door shut. Then, he activated another switch, bathing the entire room in a deep red glow."I've been researching this for over a year, and this is the result," Ulrich said as he stepped out of the control room and approached Marc.T
The Majestic Heir Chapter 174 - The Results of a Large-Scale Investigation
Beep-beep-beep!Ulrich entered a code into the keypad beside the door to his workspace. A moment later, the sound of shifting metal echoed as the heavy steel door in front of them slowly slid open.Since he was the only one who knew the code, it was certain that no one had entered this room for the past year."Wow, are you a noble or a hacker?"Marc glanced around Ulrich's workspace, nodding to himself. He was no stranger to professional hackers with top-of-the-line equipment, but this was the first time he had the opportunity to step into one of their lairs firsthand.Rows of massive computer monitors lined the desk—more than ten in total. Additional screens were mounted on the walls, and in the corner of the room stood six towering CPUs, each as tall as a full-grown man."Welcome home, baby!"Ulrich's eyes widened with excitement as he pressed a single key on the keyboard. Instantly, the sound of whirring machines filled the r
The Majestic Heir Chapter 175 - A Greater Scheme
"In Wyndham, the party responsible for bringing in these goblins is..."Satisfied with all the information he had gathered regarding the goblins' presence in Cammont, Marc tapped the screen, shifting his focus to the details about the city he was currently in."Preston..." Marc muttered. "Hmm, that makes perfect sense. But... what?"His eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing."That old man is a member of Dark Star? That bastard! No wonder he ordered that ninja to commit such a heinous act against Abbot Tenzin."Yes, the name on the screen revealed that the Baron of Wyndham, Alistair Everstone, was undeniably linked to this cruel and twisted sect. Marc had suspected from the start that the old man was devious, but he had never expected him to be involved in such a vast network."You're right." Ulrich's voice came from behind him once again. "In other words, if we eliminate these Dark Star members from every city—even from all o
The Majestic Heir Chapter 176 - A Plan
"So that's your goal?"Marc finally understood why Ulrich had stopped him from ending Lord Castellan’s life—even though his father, now a goblin, was beyond saving."You’re trying to buy time before Godfrey realizes everything, aren’t you?""Yes." Ulrich nodded.The young lord didn’t want unnecessary chaos in Wyndham over his father’s death, which could draw the earl’s attention. That was why he had kept the nature of his father’s affliction a secret. Likewise, he had yet to announce Preston’s death."Unfortunately, I’m not a cultivator," Ulrich said, his voice laced with regret. Fate had played a cruel trick on him—born the son of a marquis with immense cultivation power, yet inheriting none of it himself.Being a non-cultivator in his position made him vulnerable. It would be all too easy for the earl or Ulrich’s enemies to eliminate him. That meant he had to rely entirely on his intelligence to survive."I know Godfrey will figure it out sooner or later. But until that happens, the

“Damn it! This is completely out of control!”Still mid-air, Elliot cursed under his breath as he spotted tens of thousands of goblins stampeding out of the forest—racing toward his ten-thousand-strong unit like a swarm of rabid beasts.They didn’t just move fast. They surged like a tidal wave of predators—wild, relentless, fearless.Bang! Bang! Bang!Rattatatat! Rattatatat!Down below, chaos reigned. His soldiers, led by several trusted lieutenant colonels, were panicked and disorganized. Most were shooting blindly, spraying bullets like rookies who'd never held a gun before.Elliot could see the fear had swallowed them whole.These troops were seasoned, sure. But fighting bloodthirsty creatures that moved like cheetahs, leaping through the air with inhuman speed and agility? This was new territory. And it was deadly.“Savage freaks!”Elliot clenched his jaw tight. He had to act—now—or he’d watch his army get wiped out.Hovering two hundred meters above the battlefield, he gathered a

“This can’t be real! That myth… it’s true?!”Elliot clenched both fists on instinct, a blazing golden aura erupting from his body. It lit up the shadowy courtyard beneath the pale full moon like a beacon.Before him stood dozens of ragged, foul-smelling figures, their blood-red eyes locked onto him with razor-sharp intensity.In all his decades in the military, Elliot had encountered supernatural beings from other races—vampires, werewolves, even elves. But goblins? This was a first.He’d always believed goblins were nothing more than bedtime horror stories meant to scare little kids. Yet here they were, right in front of his eyes.Roar!Across the courtyard, around thirty goblins crouched in a semi-circle, feasting on a deer carcass. The moment they noticed Elliot, they froze mid-bite and slowly rose to their feet.Their beady eyes scanned him from head to toe, their nostrils flaring wildly.Sniff-sniff!The scent of human flesh was strong and tempting. They didn’t even hesitate—why

“No. That won’t be necessary.”Elliot shook his head firmly, brushing off the lieutenant colonel’s suggestion to send scouts ahead.“The soldiers haven’t been home in two months. They’ve got families waiting for them. I want them going home in one piece, so I’ll handle this myself.”Elliot wasn’t just a commanding officer, he cared. Deeply. To him, his men weren’t pawns to be sacrificed. They were warriors with lives worth protecting. And if there was a mission only he could take on, he’d never throw someone else into the fire for it.He already had twenty injured under his command. That number was more than enough.And frankly, this final group of fugitives? Just a low-level gang. Nobodies. Not even on the elite threat list. With his cultivation level, it shouldn't be more than a quick cleanup job, capture or kill.Handing his binoculars over to the lieutenant colonel, Elliot stepped forward, his pace steady but alert.“General, then at least let me go with you.”The lieutenant colon

"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

"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,
