The Majestic Heir 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
The Majestic Heir 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
The Majestic Heir 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
The Majestic Heir 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
The Majestic Heir Chapter 141 - The Thugs
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
The Majestic Heir Chapter 142 - Anomaly
One hour earlier."First lot, sir, please."Marc furrowed his brows as he noticed the guard at the gate smiling warmly at him, politely allowing him to drive the Huracán into the most exclusive section of the Auctionarium’s parking lot."He doesn’t mind that I’m in the same car as Harper? And sitting in the same row, no less?"Retrieving the invitation bearing Harper Winslow’s name from the guard’s hand, Marc remained calm on the surface, but inwardly, he questioned it.Nearly everyone in Wyndham knew who Harper was—and who her soon-to-be fiancé was. Especially at such a formal auction event, the staff would surely be well aware of the identities of every guest in attendance.The guard’s exceedingly polite and composed demeanor only made Marc more suspicious."Shouldn't he at least look a little wary?"A more vigilant guard might have immediately confronted Marc for sitting next to Harper. But this one?Marc flashed the guard a brief smile before driving forward to the designated park
The Majestic Heir Chapter 143 - Catch You
"W-what?"Harper's face grew tense upon hearing Marc's explanation. That was the only word that escaped her lips. For a moment, aside from trying to quickly process all the information she had just received, she was at a loss for words."How did Marc do it?" Harper wondered, keeping her gaze locked onto the young man beside her. His face was becoming increasingly familiar to her eyes, as if she never wanted to look away again.She couldn't comprehend how this young man possessed such an incredible ability to sniff out danger. He could detect the smallest details that others overlooked with pinpoint accuracy—something that even the best detectives would struggle to achieve."And even in a situation like this, he still thinks about my safety?"When this realization struck Harper, a familiar warmth returned to her heart—the same feeling she had been experiencing over the past two days. A sensation she had never felt for anyone before.At this moment, that feeling only grew stronger."Is
The Majestic Heir Chapter 144 - You Dead!
"Marc, what should we do now?"With clear panic in her eyes and across her entire face, Harper turned her head toward Marc as the SUV in front crashed into a massive tree trunk."Should we help them?"On one hand, she wanted to check on the passengers in the Peugeot. But on the other, seeing a dozen men in combat gear emerge from three black vans that had stopped not far from the SUV, she knew this situation was far too dangerous for them to handle alone."No, forget it! This is too dangerous!"Harper shook her head, horrified by what she was witnessing ahead. The only thing on her mind right now was calling the police.However, it seemed Marc didn't share the same thought."I'm going to check on them," Marc said. "I can't let the Golden Nirvana fall into these people's hands.""No! What are you saying?"As if ignoring the young woman's concern, Marc stopped the Huracan about two hundred meters from the cluster of vehicles ahead."Whatever happens, don’t get out of the car, okay?" Mar

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
