The Majestic Heir Chapter 125 - Another Dinner
"How does it taste? Not bad, right?"Harper beamed as she watched Marc devour the steak in front of him with an expression of pure delight.After the pizza war that ended in Marc’s victory, Harper had pouted and insisted that he accompany her to dinner at one of her favorite restaurants. That was how they ended up here, on the top floor of Epicure—an eight-story restaurant, one of the two finest dining establishments in Wyndham."Perfect! I'm at a loss for words to describe it," Marc said, flashing a broad smile. "The aroma of the meat, the flavor of the sauce—everything is just right."That was all he said before returning to his meal, cutting into the sirloin on his plate with unmasked enthusiasm. The expression of satisfaction on his face was completely genuine.Seeing how heartily Marc enjoyed his food, Harper couldn't help but smile as well. For some reason, it pleased her immensely that he liked her favorite restaurant.Slowly, she found herself feeling more comfortable around M
The Majestic Heir Chapter 126 - Who Are You With?
"I'm afraid you'll only make things worse if you go see them now," Marc continued.Harper might have a million reasons to confront Nicholas for his huge mistake—cheating on her with another girl behind her back. But at the same time, Harper had also come to this restaurant with another young man."If Nicholas finds out who you're here with, he'll have the perfect excuse to accuse you of doing the same thing."Marc was never worried about being mistaken as Harper’s lover because that was never his intention, nor had he done anything inappropriate. He was always ready to face any situation and anyone who came his way.However, things were different for Harper. If Nicholas really turned the tables on her, she would be in a much tougher position."It would be best if he didn’t know we were here."Hearing Marc’s words, Harper didn’t respond. But instead of walking away, she returned to her seat.For some reason, she didn’t feel annoyed when Marc said that, unlike the usual irritation she f
The Majestic Heir Chapter 127 - It's Not Your Fault
Shaken to the core, Harper rested her head on Marc's shoulder—a gesture that signified he was no longer a stranger to her and that she had begun to trust him. At the same time, Marc neither pushed her away nor showed excessive concern."It's not your fault at all if the people around you betray you or walk away from you. At the very least, this is a great opportunity to see them for who they truly are. Everyone deserves happiness, including you. What they did—that will be the best material for making the right decisions about what to do next."Hearing Marc's words, Harper cried even harder for a while, even clinging to his arm. However, it seemed to ease her heart, and her sobs gradually subsided until she finally lifted her head from his shoulder."Thank you, Marc," she murmured weakly, wiping her tears."So, where are we going now? Should we just head back to the hotel?""No." Harper shook her head. "Just drive. I'll tell you where we're going later.""Alright."The soft growl of th
The Majestic Heir Chapter 128 - Sweet Temptation
"What did I just hear? A girl’s voice?" Leonie furrowed her brows. Though the voice was faint in her ears, she was certain it belonged to a girl."Could that be… Marc’s girlfriend?" Curiosity grew within her, especially after hearing Marc’s slightly hesitant tone.Even so, she quickly realized that she shouldn’t stay on the phone for too long. "Whoever that girl is, I’d better not disturb Marc right now," she thought. The young man had gone on vacation. It made more sense to let him enjoy his time off."Marc, I think I should hang up now. Don’t worry about things here and just enjoy your vacation. I can handle everything in the meantime.""Thank you, Mrs. Griffin," Marc replied before ending the call."Mom, why do you look tense? What happened?"Sasha, who had just entered the inn’s lobby after returning from campus, immediately approached her mother and threw out the question."Ah, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about some ideas for renovating a few parts of the inn.""Mom, oh my
The Majestic Heir Chapter 129 - I Made A Choice
Climbing the stairs to her room on the third floor, Harper occasionally cast her gaze downward, where Marc looked back at her, smiling and nodding."I must be going crazy!"Harper whispered weakly, barely audible."How could I even think about flirting with him? And while fully conscious, too!"When she had stepped out of the pool and entered the living room earlier, she saw Marc still on his phone call. She shouldn't have thought much about it, right?And yet, instead of heading straight to the third floor, a strange and baseless concern suddenly crossed her mind."What if he's calling his girlfriend?" The voice in her head was loud, making her stop in her tracks and glance at Marc for a moment. "Are you really going to let this man slip away from you?"Harper wasn't sure if she could still think clearly. The next thing she knew, she saw herself walking toward Marc, deliberately trying to interrupt him.She could feel it—her heart refused to let Marc talk to whoever was on the other
The Majestic Heir Chapter 130 - The List
Meanwhile, in the living room on the first floor.Marc hadn't expected Harper to suddenly run behind him, eavesdropping on his conversation. However, that wasn't what truly surprised and worried him.Holding his phone in one hand, he gestured for the girl to get dressed immediately. After that, as if nothing had happened, he put on a smile while watching her head up to the third floor.Just moments ago, Marc had been staring at his phone screen for a long time when Leonie suddenly called him. And when the woman ended the call, Marc once again had to find a way to keep this secret from Harper.Yes, Marc had to keep his patient list a secret. Other than himself and Helma, no one else was allowed to see it."Thank goodness Harper didn't see it," Marc muttered. He then pulled his hand from behind his back and looked at the names on the patient list."The provincial capital? In two days?"The next patient on the list was an elderly man residing in the provincial capital of Walenstein. Acco
The Majestic Heir Chapter 131 - Who Are You?
A night before.When Marc sneaked into the Winslow mansion, it took him only a few minutes to familiarize himself with every corner of the grand house. He was just about to execute his plan when, by chance, his ears caught a conversation between several women not far from him."Do you think Miss Winslow is lucky to be forming a family connection with Lord Everstone? It’s nothing like people imagine!"A woman in a yellow dress, holding a glass of wine, waved her free hand while shaking her head, looking pityingly at the young lady in question."Let’s say she is the most beautiful girl in Wyndham, or even all of Walenstein, but that’s not what that baron is after. In his eyes, there’s only money and power. After marrying his son to her, I’m sure that bastard will arrange for his son to marry another woman as a second wife, then a third, and so on. Truly pitiful, actually.""Hahaha! Such irony!" another woman in a purple dress, with a cigarette between her lips, chimed in."Honestly, if
The Majestic Heir Chapter 132 - Auctionarium
Wearing an evening gown that draped elegantly over her shoulders, Harper descended the stairs with a shy expression. She still had a faint recollection of what she had done last night while drunk—shamelessly flirting with Marc like a desperate girl starving for affection. Thinking about it now, she bit her lip, feeling too embarrassed to even look the young man in the face.However, when her gaze landed on Marc, who was standing in the living room on the first floor, her embarrassment slowly faded, only to be replaced by a deepening blush.Down below, the young man looked back at her with a smile, forming a gesture with his thumb and index finger, silently praising her appearance. His casual demeanor made it seem as though he wasn’t thinking about what had happened the previous night at all.“You look absolutely stunning tonight,” Marc said, his smile widening as Harper stepped onto the first floor.“The same compliment applies to you. No one would ever guess that the handsome young m

Chapter 229 - A Little Secret
"You really think you can kill that man with just your cultivation power?"Leah had just stepped out of the courtyard, confident that everything was going according to plan, when a woman’s voice suddenly echoed in her ear.She immediately turned her gaze toward where the voice had come from—a vacant house, roughly five hundred meters ahead."A woman’s voice?" Leah muttered. "Who is she?"It wasn’t a shout, not even close. More like a whisper. But from that distance?Still frowning in confusion, she spotted a figure—faint, dressed in white, gliding gracefully forward. The woman’s dress shimmered like silk, catching the faintest hints of moonlight.It was two in the morning, and the surrounding area was dim at best. Yet somehow, the woman was already standing right in front of her."You want to kill Marvel, don’t you?""Who are you?"Leah instinctively clenched her fists, stepping
Chapter 227 - An Old Friend
Slap!“Dignity? Don’t talk crap in front of me! You’re just a filthy woman looking for attention, that’s why you ran off to the city! You just wanted a man to satisfy your lust, didn’t you?!”Ptui!Leah lifted her bruised face and spat—blood mixed with saliva—straight at Marvel’s face, utterly disgusted by his vile rant.“You animal! Your mouth’s just as filthy as your actions! Thank the heavens I dumped you—otherwise, I might’ve died today right alongside you!”Her body was weak, but Leah’s words were sharp, laced with venom.“Hahaha! Die? Are you out of your mind? How could a tiny scratch like this kill me? No, sweetheart. I’m the one who’s going to kill you!”Bang! Bang! Bang!Marvel balled his fist again and drove it into Leah’s gut—over and over. If she weren’t a cultivator, she would’ve
Chapter 228 - A Brilliant Plan
One day earlier."I don’t have much time. I need to take Marc out—fast. But that bastard Marvel... he’s taking my crew to rob a bank tomorrow."Leah muttered under her breath, her brow furrowed deep in thought.She had returned to Duskmoor with the intention of rounding up a few of her people to help eliminate Marc. But the moment she set foot in the district, this unexpected mess hit her like a slap in the face."What the hell am I supposed to do?"She couldn’t use her best men—Marvel had already gotten to them.“Give us the weapons and help us secure the money, and half of it’s yours.”That was Marvel’s promise.Ten million dollars. That was the rumored amount sitting inside the Central Bank of Cammont.If the job went well, the Larsian people would walk away with five million. With that kind of cash, they wouldn’t have to worry about survival for years.<
Chapter 226 - The Retaliatory Slap
"Was I too harsh on him?"Leah sat by her bedroom window, staring at the stars overhead, her heart heavy with doubt. It wasn’t that she wanted to slap him. She just needed him to understand how deeply she hated the way he had acted.But now, ten days had passed.No word from Marvel. Not a single call. Not even a text.He hadn't even tried sneaking into her house to see her like he used to.Every time they had a fight, no matter how big or small, he was always the first to apologize.If they fought during the day, he'd show up that night with a cake—"Sorry" written in frosting.If they fought at night, she'd wake up to find a bouquet hanging outside her window, and there he'd be, waiting on his motorcycle.But this time? Nothing.Not even a hint of remorse.Leah had considered going to him first. She was still angry—hurt, really. Especially because Marvel didn’t seem the least bit sorry.
Chapter 225 - A Satisfied Heart
Leah's body was sent flying over thirty feet from the force of the punch. The pain etched across her face said everything—there was a massive gap in strength between them.Boom!She slammed into a thick tree trunk, splintering it on impact.But as a cultivator, Leah wasn’t one to stay down for long. Gritting her teeth, she struggled back to her feet, still reeling.“Hahaha! That punch won’t kill me. No matter how far you’ve come in your cultivation, it means nothing if you’re still just a bastard like you.”Her cheek throbbed with heat where Marvel had hit her, but Leah burst out laughing. She was satisfied—ecstatic, even—that she'd landed a blow to his face in return.She knew Marvel well. He took great pride in his looks. Damaging any part of his body, especially his face, felt like a personal victory. One worth celebrating."Now look at you! Just another ugly bastard no one would even glance at! Hahaha! What a pitiful excuse of a man!"Leah kept laughing, a raw, triumphant joy bubb
Chapter 224 - You're No Match for Me!
Leah staggered back several steps as Marvel’s punch landed squarely on her rib.She still managed to keep her grip on both daggers, but her chest was tightening, the blow clearly affecting her.“What? That’s it? That’s all you've got?” Marvel scoffed. “Still stuck at Level 12? You must’ve been slacking off like crazy.”His voice was laced with mockery, and the smirk on his face made it worse.They used to be cultivators of the same level. But two years ago, right after their relationship ended, Marvel had gone into seclusion to focus on his cultivation.When he returned to Duskmoor two months ago, no one knew how far he’d advanced. Still, plenty speculated that his current power had to be at least Level 15.“Shut your damn mouth, asshole! I’ll kill you!” Leah shouted, forcing herself to stand tall.But the fire in her eyes wasn’t as bright as before. Deep down, she hadn’t expected Marvel’s cultivation to leap this far.“Kill me? You really think you can?”Marvel clasped both hands beh
Chapter 223 - Don’t You Dare Try That Again
Bang! Bang! Bang!A burst of gunfire exploded from the pistol aimed directly at Marvel’s face. Leah’s expression was cold, merciless—there wasn’t a hint of sympathy or sentiment left. All she wanted now was to blow this bastard’s face apart, just like she had done to that sniper earlier.But Marvel wasn’t just any man.Just like before, when he’d dodged point-blank sniper fire, he moved again—shifting his head left and right with sharp precision, dodging the barrel of Leah’s gun. The bullets tore into the ground, missing their mark completely.“Die, you bastard! That’s what you get for messing with me! You’re gonna feel everything I felt!”Bang! Bang! Bang!Fueled by pure rage, Leah kept pulling the trigger, firing over and over, trying to hit his moving face. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t land a single shot.And by the time the magazine was empty, not a single bullet had even grazed Marvel’s skin.Marvel wasn’t about to waste the opening she’d just handed him.“Stupi
Chapter 222 - A Relationship from the Past
No one knew that Leah had once shared an intimate relationship with Marvel. The young woman had kept their connection tightly under wraps, never displaying it in public—especially not with her father Lars around. Lars harbored a deep hatred for Marvel and all the shadowy factions lurking in Duskmoor. And Leah, of course, knew better than to take that kind of risk.But everything changed two years ago.Leah had planned to surprise Marvel—only to walk in on him wrapped up in a passionate embrace with a woman who wasn’t wearing a single stitch of clothing.In that moment, Leah didn’t scream. She didn’t cry. She didn’t even say a word.But from that day forward, something in her changed. The warmth between them vanished. She never got close to him again.In fact, it seemed like that very incident was what finally pushed her to leave Duskmoor—to become Violet’s personal bodyguard instead.“You
Chapter 221 - What Do You Want?
“Why did you do that?”The sniper's face—crushed beneath Marvel’s boot—was now an unrecognizable mess. But instead of looking pleased, the gangster boss stared at the young woman with a cold, piercing glare. Leah’s actions hadn’t satisfied him—they’d only raised questions.“Tell me why you shot him.”“Oh, come on. What are you even talking about?”Leah, the woman who had just appeared and gunned down the sniper without hesitation, shrugged casually. Her expression was calm, almost bored.“Why would I need your permission to kill someone who was getting in our way? Obviously, I had to take him out.”“Really? That’s your story?”Marvel narrowed his eyes, the intensity in his gaze sharpening like a blade. He studied her carefully, like a predator sizing up an unfamiliar threat.“Tell me—are you hiding something from me?”“Hufff... You're seriously paranoid.”Leah waved him off, shaking her head in exasperation, as if swatting away a pointless accusation.“Why would I do that? We came her
