Chapter 326 - The Terrifying Effects of a Cure
"Why? Why is there nothing we can do to help Lord Belmont?!"Sasha's voice trembled as she fought to contain her panic, her expression twisted in distress as she confronted her grandfather."What exactly is happening to him?!"Aaaaargh!Even as she spoke, Marc’s agonized screams grew louder, sharper—like the cries of someone being torn apart from the inside. Each one cut deeper than the last, reverberating through every corner of the inn with unbearable intensity."Marc is undergoing treatment. He’s fighting for his life," Elliot said gravely, the gloom on his face refusing to lift."Treatment?" Sasha frowned, confusion giving way to alarm. "What kind of treatment makes him sound like he’s being tortured?!"Given how little she understood of what was happening, her relentless questioning was only natural."It’s a powerful remedy—one with equally powerful consequences."Elliot finally explained everything. Every detail. Including the part he’d deliberately kept from Marc: the devastati
Chapter 325 - A Strange Occurrence
While Lyman believed he was climbing stairs and walking through the corridors of the inn, everyone inside the black Benz saw something completely different.“My love… what is he doing? Why is he just pacing around like that?”Annette furrowed her brows tightly. Her face showed a mix of confusion and concern.From the broken remains of the lobby—now fully visible from the outside due to its shattered walls—Lyman could be seen wandering aimlessly from one corner to another. His expression was tense, serious, almost haunted, but his eyes looked empty. Every now and then, he even appeared to be talking to himself.Thomas noticed something was seriously off with his head butler.“It looks like someone’s tampered with his mind,” the baron said gravely. “We need to help him.”He then glanced toward the man in the black suit sitting behind the wheel.“You,” Thomas ordered. “Go get Lyman. Bring him back here.”Then, more sternly, he added, “And be careful. I suspect there’s someone here capabl
Chapter 324 - A Young Woman’s Welcome
Elsewhere, a few hours earlier…A sleek black Benz rolled to a stop in front of a ruined inn. Moments later, the passenger-side window slid down."Are you sure Lord Belmont is staying here?"Thomas shook his head in disbelief as he addressed Lyman, eyes scanning the devastation around them. Ever since they passed through Greencliff Forest, all they’d seen were crumbling houses and half-finished construction projects—most of them already destroyed.Looking around, it was as if a natural disaster had swept through the area."I’ve confirmed it with Bachary, My Lord," Lyman replied. "This is where Lord Belmont resides."Even Lyman had his doubts—maybe Bachary had given them the wrong location. But the junior butler had reportedly visited this place several times before."My love, doesn’t this seem... too rundown?"Annette's voice broke the silence, laced with unease. Her elegant features creased with concern as she glanced around. “Could Lord Belmont really be living in a place like this?
Chapter 323 - The Real Reason (Final Part)
There was no response from the other end of the line.At that moment, both Marc and Elliot exchanged tense glances, barely daring to breathe. Marc’s eyes, especially, seemed to silently ask—Did it work?Five seconds... ten seconds passed. Still nothing.The tension gripped their chests like a vice.“What if I failed?” Marc thought anxiously. “What if Skarleta rejects my offer?”Then—thankfully—five seconds later, her voice finally came through.“Fine. Tell me what you want.”Hufffff.Both Marc and Elliot exhaled sharply, flooded with relief. The Grand Marquis even punched the air in triumph, unable to contain his joy.“I want you to release Ulrich. Please… don’t hurt him.”Marc’s voice was firm, yet soft—so soft it was almost a plea.“And what will you do in return?”“Anything,” Marc replied without hesitation. “I’ll do anything for you.”“You sure?” Skarleta asked, her voice edged with challenge.“Absolutely. You should know who I am by now. With my position… there's not much I can't
Chapter 322 - That Was the First Option Because It Seemed the Most Likely
Elliot’s voice rang with conviction, but it only made Marc even more uneasy.“No. I can’t accept that, old man.”Marc slowly shook his head.He knew that if he took even half of Elliot’s internal energy, his cultivation would skyrocket.Even if he had to start back at level one, his progress would be unbelievably fast.But Marc didn’t want to accept that kind of help from the Grand Marquis.It wasn’t about pride. It was about understanding what that power meant.For a cultivator, internal energy wasn’t just strength—it was life.If Elliot gave him half of his, it would be like giving away half of his very soul. Marc couldn't accept something that monumental.“You’ve already been generous enough by giving me the Sky Blossom Pill. That alone meant a great deal to me. I can’t take more than that.”His voice was firm—his resolve, unshakable.“What about the first option? Whatever it is, I’ll do it, as long as it’s within my power.”Marc couldn’t bring himself to accept something so immens
Chapter 321 - The Untold Story (Part 2)
"You mean... the real Harper is dead?"Marc's voice trembled with disbelief. He couldn't hide his shock.At first, he had assumed that Skarleta had kidnapped the girl, hidden her away somewhere, and used some form of mental manipulation to trick the Winslow family into accepting her as Harper.If that were the case, Marc would’ve done everything in his power to rescue the real Harper and expose the imposter for what she truly was—a dangerous goblin in disguise."Yes. She died in a car accident that was never reported to the public."The real Harper had been a shut-in with severe mental issues. Some even said her body was frail and deformed, and that her face was… disfigured beyond recognition."But just days after her supposed death, the Winslows suddenly introduced a beautiful young woman as their daughter. My informant said something felt very off about the whole situation. Unfortunately, I didn’t dig deeper back then."Elliot admitted he had no idea that woman was Skarleta. Nor did
