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
Chapter 320 - The Untold Story
Snap!Elliot snapped his fingers, a wide grin spreading across his face."That's it. That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you, Marc."He hadn’t expected to see Skarleta again. But after spotting her a few times, he was absolutely certain—it was her. The goblin.In truth, the first glimpse had already convinced him. Still, to be sure, he rewatched the footage of the woman in the video several times before finally making his decision."I'm absolutely certain this woman," Elliot said, pointing his index finger at the woman on the screen, "She’s Skarleta. No doubt about it.""What?"Marc raised an eyebrow sharply, his expression filled with disbelief."Harper? The girl I’ve known all this time... is a goblin? Old man, you’ve got to be kidding me."He rubbed his temples, trying to ease the pressure building in his head. Too many revelations today—his mind was on the verge of overload."I'm one hundred percent sure, Marc."Elliot nodded, his tone serious, his gaze unwavering."But if that w
Chapter 319 - Her Identity
Marc finally understood why Harper kept trying to hug him. First at his own home in the Winslow mansion, and then again just moments ago in front of the inn's gate."She was doing it to manipulate my mind, wasn’t she?"Harper’s technique worked through physical touch. Before she could influence someone’s thoughts, she had to make physical contact with her target.And it seemed like she’d used that technique quite a lot before."Because she knows the easiest way to get something is to make people give it to her willingly."What happened with Abbot Tenzin and the janitor was living proof of that.But there was still one thing Marc couldn’t wrap his head around. Something that didn’t seem to serve any logical purpose—yet Harper kept doing it."Why do all her plans seem to revolve around me? Why does she always use me as her medium? Am I really that easy to manipulate that she made me her favorite tool?"Marc was still wrestling with the thought. But one thing had become crystal clear: he
Chapter 318 - The Real Reason (Part 8)
"At least there's still a month before the Ashborn launch their assault on Lanshire."Elliot spoke silently in his heart."Until then... maybe I can do everything in my power to help this young man regain his strength."He had never once doubted that the Sky Blossom Pill could cure the corrosive effects of the Death Fist slowly eating away at Marc’s body. That much was certain—Elliot was convinced of it.But the real challenge came afterward.Just because Marc might recover from such a mysterious internal wound didn’t mean he would automatically regain his cultivation energy. It didn’t work that way.Marc would need time—lots of it. At best, it would take a year. At worst? A lifetime.Expecting Marc to shoulder such a burden now wasn’t just unfair—it was cruel.After all, he was still human. There were limits even he couldn’t surpass.And yet, Elliot clenched his fists, hardening his resolve once more. It may have seemed impossible... but seeing the fire in Marc’s eyes reignite, the G
Chapter 317 - The Real Reason (Part 7)
“Old man… even if the king refuses to listen to you, someone in the palace must have, right?”Marc’s voice held a note of disbelief. He was clearly stunned by the idea that Elliot’s words no longer held weight—like his opinions had been reduced to background noise.Elliot might still officially carry the title of Grand Marquis, a title one retains for life, but these days it felt meaningless. At least to the people in the palace. To them, Elliot had become a relic of the past—paranoid, broken, and mentally shaken by the death of ten thousand of his men.“No one. No one’s willing to listen to me, Marc.”The old marquis shook his head slowly, unable to hide the sadness in his expression. But it wasn’t the cold shoulders or dismissive glances that hurt him. That didn’t matter anymore.Even during his years as an active soldier—back when he was nothing more than a grunt—Elliot had always been known as someone who never gave up. That part of him hadn’t changed.What truly weighed on him no
