2025-02-18 01:02:51"Is this the technique that Master once told me about?"
Slowly, Shadow began to realize that the technique the young man was using against him was an illusion technique—a powerful mental technique that made him believe he was being attacked, even though in reality, nothing had touched his body.
The ninja had never encountered anyone who wielded such a technique before, nor had he ever experienced it firsthand. However, one of the masters from Dark Star had once given him a fairly detailed explanation of this mysterious ability.
At that moment, his mind flashed back to something he had heard ten years ago.
"There aren't many cultivators in the entire Lanshire Kingdom who possess a mind-controlling technique so strong that it makes you believe you are suffering immense pain, almost to the point of death, even though your body remains unscathed," the master had said at the time. "This technique does not attack the body but destroys the mind from within

"Huh, are you trying to extort me?" Marc scoffed, his eyes gleaming with menace. How could he possibly hand over money for something that didn't even belong to the baron?"If you break your promise, you know what the consequences will be, don't you?"To Alistair, Marc's voice suddenly echoed throughout the room, making the baron sink deeper into his fear."No! I would never do such a thing!" Despite the terror gripping his heart, Alistair stood firm in his stance."Don't think you can threaten me, let alone harm me." Trembling, cold sweat pouring down his face and body, Alistair spoke in a quivering voice, his eyes tightly shut. "I am a baron. If you cross the line, the entire royal army will hunt you down wherever you run.""You're threatening me?" Marc smirked, already fed up with the baron's arrogance. "Then let me show you that I can kill you without even lifting a finger."As he said this, Marc merely clenched his fist slightly. At that
The Majestic Heir Chapter 107 - The Box to Be Auctioned
"Damn it! He’s truly devious!" Marc muttered as he stepped out of Alistair’s private room. He hadn’t expected the baron to have crafted such a meticulous plan to secure the box.A few minutes earlier."I have already registered it for auction at the Auctionarium," Alistair said, laughing like a madman.The Auctionarium was the largest auction house in Wyndham. In fact, it was part of the biggest auction network in the Walenstein province and one of the largest in Lanshire.As a prestigious auction house, only high-quality items were sold there. From rare artifacts to ancient, one-of-a-kind weapons, one could find them at this venue.Additionally, the Auctionarium accepted requests to auction personal items on a profit-sharing basis. Of course, only individuals with significant wealth or influence were eligible to make such requests. As a baron, Alistair naturally had no trouble securing one."If they don’t see this it

"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
The Majestic Heir Chapter 109 - The Comfort
"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
The Majestic Heir Chapter 113 - Nothing But Trash
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

Harper couldn’t be sure of anything until she heard it directly from Marc. But if that was the reason, why did she feel a pang of sadness in her heart? As if she had disappointed him.But..."What if Marc had planned this from the beginning?" she thought, trying to ease the guilt and burden weighing on her heart.In other words, had Marc intended to take the ring from whoever won the auction from the start?"No! No! That’s impossible!" Unconsciously, Harper shook her head like a madwoman."Marc wouldn’t think like that!"In her eyes, Marc was a good man who would never steal something that didn’t belong to him."Of course, I have to take it," Marc replied flatly, though his expression grew more serious."What?"His answer shocked her to the core. She had never ever expected her thought would be right."Marc, please, don’t do this."With a panicked expression, Harper reached out and grabbed his arm, trying to stop him. "I’ll contact the Auctionarium’s management and see if I can get th
Chapter 140 - Chase After Him!
"We're leaving now, let's go."Marc rose from his seat hastily, gently pulling Harper's hand, though his urgency was evident.After the Golden Nirvana fell into the hands of the mysterious bidder, there was actually one final auction item—meant to conclude the evening—the marquis' broken sword. It was supposed to be the closing event of this monthly auction. However, Marc clearly had no intention of staying any longer to wait for it."Where to?"Harper furrowed her brows, confused about where the young man was taking her. Even so, she simply let herself be led.As they stepped out of the auction building and into the courtyard, Harper’s gaze locked onto a particular spot—a young man standing there, struggling to speak."Mmmm-mmmm," he mumbled, his words indistinct.Around him, several bodyguards looked perplexed. Some scratched their heads, unable to comprehend what the man was trying to say, while others simply stared at him, slowly realizing that something was seriously wrong."My l
Chapter 139 - The Auction Concludes
"Oh, what wonderful luck I have!"Imagining the money in his account increasing, a wide grin spread across the baron’s lips. Not only that, but he even began to dream far beyond."Soon, I might be the richest man in this city! Hahaha!"It wasn’t just the baron—almost everyone in the venue shifted their gaze toward Harper."Will Miss Winslow not place another bid?"That question echoed in their minds. After all, the Winslow family was the symbol of wealth in Wyndham, whereas the mysterious bidder was an unfamiliar man. If the young lady conceded, they would feel the loss just as deeply.It was as if it were a defeat for them and the entire city.Not only them—the auctioneer, who had come to view this as a battle of prestige between Wyndham’s representative and an outsider, hesitated to speak, giving Harper time to consider her next move.Three minutes passed with no sign that the young woman would counter the bid. The crowd held their breath."Five hundred million... huff, that’s truly
Chapter 138 - Surrender
The hall suddenly fell silent for a moment before erupting into chaos."Oh my God! I'm not dreaming, am I? Spending half a billion just for a ring? This is absolutely insane! No, this is beyond unreasonable!"The atmosphere in the hall became even more frenzied as people whispered among themselves. Their heartbeats raced, a mix of excitement and shock overwhelming them.Harper was no exception."I-Is this... really what I just heard?"With disbelief written all over her tense face, her eyes locked onto the far end of the row, where the mysterious man sat calmly in his chair."He spent that much money and still looks completely unfazed?" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Harper's forehead without her realizing it.Unlike the young woman, however, the man wore a broad smile—satisfied yet composed, his expression unwavering."Should I give up?"The question echoed in her mind. Of course, she could bid higher, but still—five hundred million was no small sum. Spending such an amount would
Chapter 137 - The Highest Bid?
As if unwilling to back down, the fat man raised his hand once more and spoke in a loud yet composed voice. His expression remained cold, as if the amount he just bid was nothing significant to him."Unbelievable! What is happening?"Everyone present in the auction hall nearly stood up from their seats. What they were witnessing was simply too surreal to grasp as reality."This man is bidding such an outrageous amount and still looks completely unfazed? I can’t believe it!"No one was whispering anymore. Unable to contain their shock and amazement, people began openly voicing their opinions about the current state of the auction—especially about the mysterious bidder.At the same time, the same expression of disbelief was clearly visible on Harper’s face."Did I hear that right?" she murmured. "He can still raise the bid even higher?"The young woman’s face tensed, and an uneasy feeling crept into her heart. Not only did it seem like the fat man at the far end of the room truly desire
Chapter 136 - The Mysterious Bidder
Alistair, upon witnessing the situation, curled his lips in satisfaction and pride."You’re just a bunch of fools who know nothing," he sneered internally. "How could you possibly grasp the grandeur of this box?"He was elated because he had successfully flaunted himself as someone who had auctioned an item at the highest price in Wyndham’s history—one of the highest even in Walenstein. Moreover, he was pleased because everything was going according to plan."No one will be able to bid for this ring, right? I’d like to see who in this city has the money to place an offer! Hahaha!"Of course, his assumption did not account for Harper, who had been glaring at him with anger and disgust without his notice."Marc, no matter what, I will get the Golden Nirvana," Harper declared.With determination blazing in her eyes, the young woman was resolved to make amends for her past mistakes by doing whatever it took to return the item to its rightful place. "I want us to take it back to the monaste
Chapter 135 - Just A Little Box?
However, when the cloth covering the tray was fully removed, the people who had been watching intently immediately frowned in confusion."Isn't that just a ring box? What's so special about it?"As if he could read the audience's surprise, the MC continued."You are correct in thinking that this is a ring box. However, the ring inside is no ordinary one. This is the Golden Nirvana, a rare ring that serves as a treasured relic of the White Lotus Monastery, the oldest monastery in Walenstein. His Lordship received it as an honorary gift from the abbot of the monastery."The guests nodded in understanding upon hearing this explanation, as if recognizing its value. Even so, they were not entirely convinced that the ring was truly exceptional. Yet, they chose not to dwell on it too much."Well, maybe it's valuable because it was given by a monk, right?" Other than that, there didn't seem to be anything particularly noteworthy about it.To an ordinary person, this ring might not appear spec
Chapter 134 - Curious
Auctionarium was an extremely strict venue. If you weren’t invited to their events, you had to make a reservation at least a week in advance. And even then, it didn’t guarantee you entry.Not only the staff but also Harper, who stood beside Marc, didn’t understand why the young man had chosen to present his identification card instead. Shouldn’t he be showing the invitation envelope I gave him? she wondered.Even so, the young woman remained silent. She chose to trust Marc completely."Ah, my apologies. I meant this," Marc feigned realization of his mistake, pulling back his ID card and handing over the Winslow family’s invitation envelope instead.Only then did the staff member’s wide smile return."Ah, a representative from the Winslow family! My apologies. Ma’am, Sir, your seats are in the front row."The staff member lifted the barrier and gestured for the two of them to enter the rightmost lane, the most exclusive among the three."Thank you."Nodding, Marc resumed walking, Harpe
Chapter 133 - Is This a Surprise?
"You'd better ask yourself that!"Unable to hold back her frustration any longer, the words slipped out of her mouth. After that, without feeling the need to explain or ask anything else, she quickened her pace toward the entrance of the auction house."What? Tell me, is this also a surprise? You didn’t even show up at your own party?"The look of shock and confusion on Nicholas' face was evident. He knew this girl very well. Not once had she ever shown him a sullen or cold expression, let alone treated him indifferently. The change was so sudden and completely unexpected.However, just like before, as if she hadn’t heard a word he said, the young woman kept walking."Honey, at least say something, please."Unwilling to give up, Nicholas kept chasing after Harper, pressing her for answers. "Please, don’t torture me with your silence."At this point, Nicholas realized this was no longer a surprise. Something was wrong, and he needed to fix it."I already told you, get lost! Don’t bothe
