The Majestic Heir Chapter 178 - Harper's Request
"Entering Godfrey's private chambers? How exactly am I supposed to do that?"Marc kept replaying the question in his mind as he maneuvered the Huracán STJ through the military facility’s gates and out onto the open road.Earlier, Ulrich had only asked him to access a master file—a record containing all financial and other essential details regarding the earl’s family.Marc had never met the earl before, let alone set foot in his estate. Given the circumstances, the best approach seemed to be infiltration.“Well, at least I have the ring,” he muttered under his breath. The ring that rendered him invisible—that was the solution.The coupe continued down the road for several minutes before Marc noticed the girl sitting beside him. Harper had been staring blankly ahead, lost in thought, ever since they had left the military compound."Are you alright?" Marc asked, glancing at her briefly.Though she hadn’t said a word about it, her expression made it clear that something was weighing on h
The Majestic Heir Chapter 179 - Nicholas' Confidence
Meanwhile, at the Everstone Manor."Hey, why are you so slow? Hurry up and check if all the lights have been set up along the pathway! We can't have tonight's event looking dull just because you weren’t paying attention."A young butler, one of the senior attendants of the manor, was overseeing the workers who had been busy decorating the estate for the past two days.The garden had been meticulously arranged to appear more stunning; lights were installed along the path leading from the main gate to the manor, and every piece of furniture inside was inspected—many of which had been replaced. Even some of the wall colors had been subtly adjusted."Hey, you! Why are you putting that table there? Move it now! It can’t be blocking the guests!"Not only was he supervising the preparations outside, but the young butler was also closely monitoring the work being done inside the manor.Before long, the unmistakable sound of a Huracan's engine echoed from the front yard. A young man stepped ou
The Majestic Heir Chapter 180 - The Final Preparations
"Miss Winslow, you look absolutely stunning!"The maid helping Harper into her white gown couldn't hold back her admiration. Known as one of the most beautiful women in Walenstein, Harper always looked good in anything she wore. But tonight, with an evening dress specially designed for this occasion, she truly looked like a goddess."Seriously, Miss, even as a woman, I think I might be falling for you!"Another maid, who was in the middle of applying Harper’s makeup, also voiced her amazement.It wasn’t just them. Every maid in the room who laid eyes on Harper felt as if they were seeing someone otherworldly—far more breathtaking than any ordinary human."Lord Nicholas won’t be able to take his eyes off you, not even for a second!"They continued to shower Harper with praise, occasionally mentioning Nicholas as well. But they weren’t just saying these things to flatter her—they were genuinely delighted about the engagement that was about to take place.Yet, as if no one noticed, Harpe
The Majestic Heir Chapter 181 - The Escort
Stepping out of the room, each step Harper took felt heavier and heavier.Because this was such a special night, Margaret had insisted that her daughter get ready at their other residence instead of her own. But even so, it did nothing to ease the unease in her heart.As she entered the elevator, her heartbeat pounded harder against her chest. The resistance she had been suppressing inside her threatened to rise to the surface. For the first time in her life, Harper found herself in a situation she absolutely did not want to be in.Ding!The elevator doors slid open as she reached the first floor.As Harper stepped out, every eye in the room turned to her. The maids, the bodyguards—none of them could look away. Not a single one could even blink."My God… Is this the true beauty of Miss Winslow?" they thought, unable to utter a word, their gazes locked onto her."Lord Nicholas is truly fortunate to have an angel like her.""You look stunning tonight, sweetie."Edward, Harper’s father,
The Majestic Heir Chapter 182 - The Engagement Night (Part 1)
"You... aren't you..."Harper blinked rapidly. The driver in front of her was clearly not one of the usual chauffeurs from the Everstone Manor.Yet, why did he seem so familiar?"Have we met before?"The man turned his head slightly, giving her a clearer view of his face."Of course, Miss Winslow. We meet again. By the way, do you remember who brought you home last time?"With that, he turned back around and slid the small partition window shut, separating the driver’s seat from the passenger area."Ah, so it's you!"Harper’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape.She remembered now. This was the same driver who had taken her back from Asheville.It was Wangyal!She had no idea how he had ended up as her driver tonight, but strangely, she felt relieved.This man had left a good impression on her—kind and trustworthy. His presence alone eased some of the anxiety weighing on her heart.More than that, he suddenly reminded her of someone—an old, wise figure who had influenced her deeply
The Majestic Heir Chapter 183 - The Engagement Night (Part 2)
"Oh, come on! This whole event is so ridiculously stiff and formal!"From the parking lot in the distance, Wangyal stood beside the limo, shaking his head as he gazed toward the grand manor's entrance."I made the right decision running away from my family, Marc. Nobility is just too full of tedious and complicated formalities! Just look at that mess!"Marc leaned against the limo next to him, arms crossed. Hearing Wangyal’s exaggerated complaints, he had to press his lips together tightly to keep from bursting into laughter.Wangyal, the legendary driver from Asheville, was once again launching into one of his bombastic tales—this time about his noble lineage. He claimed he was born into an aristocratic family but had chosen to forsake his title in pursuit of the free-spirited life he truly desired.Anyone hearing him speak and watching his earnest expression would be convinced he was telling the truth.But Marc knew better. He knew for a fact it was all nonsense. Still, he kept a st
The Majestic Heir Chapter 184 - The Engagement Night (Part 3)
Wangyal may have been boasting about noble life, but what he said was true. As the grand double doors swung open, two more attendants, clad in Wyndham’s signature formal attire, swiftly moved to stand beside Margaret and Edward, flanking them.With Harper in the center, the front row now consisted of five people, exuding an air of solemnity and formality."Miss Winslow, please hold for a moment." One of the attendants gently stopped Harper from stepping forward."Ladies and gentlemen, please rise to welcome the family of the bride-to-be from the Winslow household." A commanding voice resonated through the vast hall.The entire room obeyed, rising from their seats."Miss Winslow, you may proceed now." The same attendant finally granted permission. "But please, walk slowly."Harper let out a small scoff, visibly irritated. She had been uncomfortable the moment she arrived at this place. Now, with all these elaborate formalities, instead of feeling the reverence expected of such an occas
The Majestic Heir Chapter 185 - The Engagement Night (Part 4)
"The groom-to-be, Lord Nicholas Everstone, and the bride-to-be, Miss Harper Winslow. May you be blessed by the heavens, protected, and guided by its grace."The wedding officiant, clad in flowing white robes adorned with intricate accessories, wore a golden crown atop his head and held a golden staff in his left hand. With his right hand, he gestured alternately towards Nicholas and Harper. Beside him stood two attendants, each holding a tray.The officiant then took a peacock feather, approximately a foot long, from the tray held by the attendant on his right. He dipped it into a golden basin filled with holy water on the tray of the attendant to his left. With careful precision, he sprinkled the sacred water onto Nicholas and Harper, three times each.Closing his eyes, he pressed his hands together in front of his chest and murmured a prayer. When he opened them again, his gaze was both serene and resolute as he turned to Nicholas."Lord Nicholas Everstone, in the name of the divine

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
Chapter 220 - Attack from the Shadows
Thup! Thup!A pair of muffled shots rang out as two bullets silently left the barrel of a sniper rifle. Even someone standing within twenty meters wouldn’t have heard a thing.Marvel, walking calmly across the open ground, was still fifty meters away from the brush. He shouldn't have been able to hear those shots—just like the subordinates of his who’d already ended up dead.And yet, out of nowhere, the man suddenly raised both arms the exact moment the shots were fired.Tap! Tap!With lightning speed, he swatted the two bullets away before they could lodge in his chest, deflecting them in random directions.“All you know is how to sneak around and take potshots, huh?” he growled, eyes narrowing toward a specific spot beyond the shrubs. He'd already figured out where the shots were coming from.“You’re not getting away. You’re going to pay for what you did.”Thup! Thup!As Marvel spoke, two more bullets whizzed toward him—this time aimed at his head and neck.But just as the sniper pu
Chapter 219 - The Boss Arrives
“B-But…”One of the Scorpion members hesitated, his eyes locked on Bulldog, unwilling to look away for even a second.Up until now, whenever the fat man gave an order, not a single member of the gang ever questioned it—let alone defied it. That included him.But this time... the risk was just too high.Just moments ago, twenty men Bulldog had sent ahead were left sprawled on the ground with bullet holes in their heads—dead. If he and the remaining eighty-nine gang members charged blindly into the brush, they’d likely suffer the same fate.“Wouldn’t it be better if we regrouped and came up with a plan? Charging ahead like this is too dangerous.”He finally voiced the thought gnawing at his mind.“Idiot! What the hell do you know?” Bulldog snapped, lifting one hand like he was about to slap the man, but stopping short. “You think you’ve got a better plan than me, huh?”“Just go! Take everyone and move out! I don’t wanna hear another word. I want that bastard caught, and I want it now!”
Chapter 218 - The Mysterious Shooter
Bang! Bang! Bang!Losing his patience, Bulldog pulled the trigger and fired into the bushes a few hundred meters from the inn.In the pitch-black night, he couldn’t see a thing—not a single silhouette. But that didn’t matter. All he cared about was venting his fury and taking down the mysterious shooter.“Come out, you bastard! Come out!”Rattatatat! Rattatatat!Bang! Bang! Bang!Bulldog wasn’t the only one. Several members of Scorpion raised their weapons and unleashed a hail of bullets into the bushes.The deafening exchange of gunfire turned the atmosphere into something straight out of a warzone.While the thugs seemed to relish the chaos, the workers nearby were the exact opposite. Unaccustomed to the sound of gunfire, they pressed their hands tightly over their ears, cowering on the ground.It wasn’t even the full barrage—it only took a single gunshot to leave their ears ringing. Faced with the overwhelming terror of the moment, all they could do was lie flat, trembling violentl
