The Majestic Heir Chapter 24 - The Burial
Two days earlier."I could have caught that thief by myself. But since you’re all here, let me show you how it’s done," said Jonas to the bodyguards behind him, tucking the pistol he had just cocked back into his waistband."Just watch—I’ll take this thief down with my bare hands!" Jonas quickened his pace as the edge of the forest came into view. He was convinced that Marc’s hint meant the thief was hiding in the woods. And the fact that Marc had returned safely suggested the thief was likely just an amateur.“They’re here at the perfect time,” Jonas thought, glancing back at the still-tense bodyguards. “I’ll amaze them with what I can do,” he mused, a broad, self-satisfied smile spreading across his face.Before becoming the Brown family’s butler, Jonas had been a martial artist who had earned a black belt. “One person? I could take on ten all by myself.” His eyes gleamed with confidence. If he could impress these bodyguards, it would be a great way to show off in front of the mayor
The Majestic Heir Chapter 25 - The Murderers
The front courtyard of the Quentin manor’s armory.“Hello? Speak clearly, what’s happening?” Bachary shouted into his phone, his face tense as he listened to the panicked voice on the other end.“Th-they… they’re not human, sir.” A soldier’s weak voice came through, mixed with screams and gunfire in the background.“What do you mean? Explain yourself!” But before Bachary could get more information, the call was abruptly cut off. The last thing he heard was the sound of something heavy stomping on the soldier’s phone.“Bachary, what’s going on?” Darla, who had just stepped out of the armory wearing a black uniform and a bulletproof vest, asked with a frown, her face full of questions. “Has something happened to them?”“It seems the Alpha team has failed, my lady.” Bachary let out a long sigh, trying to steady his emotions. Although he didn’t have a clear picture of what had happened to the team, he was certain they were in serious trouble.“Then what are we waiting for? Send in the Bra
The Majestic Heir Chapter 26 - The Master Healer
Click!"You've killed my soldiers and innocent people, yet you can still act so nonchalant," Darla's voice seethed with anger as she disengaged the safety on her weapon, pointing it at the back of Marc’s head. Behind the gas mask covering her face, Darla's expression burned with rage. "Daring to endanger innocent lives—you all deserve to die!""My lady…" Bachary, her butler, hesitated, stepping forward to stop her. He wanted to remind her that, no matter how grave their crimes were, these people deserved a trial. An immediate execution would violate the law.However, before Bachary could finish, Darla raised her hand, signaling him to halt."You still have the nerve to act arrogant, ignoring our presence," she continued, her steps slow and deliberate as she moved toward Marc, finger poised on the trigger. Marc’s back remained turned to Darla and her team, a gesture she read as blatant disrespect. "Let’s see if your arrogance can save your head from my bullet.""Lady Darla, please allo
The Majestic Heir Chapter 27 - The Evidence
“What about the healer?” Darla mumbled, her brow furrowed, her expression laced with panic. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. She was reminded that the reason she joined the Bravo team on this mission was to ensure the healer's safety—something her anger toward Marc had momentarily made her forget.“Yes, I must find the healer,” she thought to herself. She knew there was no one better to ask about the healer's whereabouts than Marc. Yet, she refused to approach him. Her hatred for the young man ran far deeper than she was willing to admit.Just as Darla was about to take another step, her phone rang.“Hello, Mom…”“Darla, I have such wonderful news! A master healer from Eastcliff has just arrived at our estate!”“Mom, I’ll be home immediately.”As she ended the call, Darla’s previously dim eyes lit up with excitement. The thick fog of gloom that had clouded her face disappeared, replaced by a wide smile. “A master healer from Eastcliff? He must be able to cure my father!”
The Majestic Heir Chapter 28 - Second Appointment
“Mr. Belmont, are you sure about your plan?” Newell couldn’t hide the surprise on his face when Marc mentioned that he wanted to make massive improvements to the village of Greencliff.“Of course, Mr. Brown.” Unlike the expression on the mayor’s face, Marc nodded slowly and flashed a wide smile. “I want to rebuild this village.”Marc thought it would be wonderful if this village could come back to life, just like it was ten years ago before the goblins caused chaos.“But, Mr. Belmont…” Newell took a deep breath before continuing. Since there was no one else in the lobby at the moment, he felt he could express his thoughts to Marc more openly. “The property prices in Greencliff have dropped drastically in recent years, but rebuilding the entire village… that would cost a lot of money.”Rebuilding Greencliff would consume a significant portion of the city's budget. And seeing the state of the city, Newell wasn’t sure it would be profitable from an investment standpoint. “Even if we spen
The Majestic Heir Chapter 29 - The Guest
One hour earlier.“Is this true, what I just heard?” Keith’s face lit up with a radiant smile, the joy clear in his eyes as he heard that the master healer would be coming to his house today as scheduled. “This feels like a dream come true!”“This is such a great blessing that Master Tilcott is willing to come to our place,” Wilma, who had overheard her husband's conversation on the phone, couldn’t hide her happiness either. “Our daughter will be healed, Keith,” she said, hugging her husband tightly.Although the Felix family was no ordinary family in Cammont, Keith still realized that they couldn't compare to the likes of the Richmonds or the Quentins. While those who made appointments with Helma came from not just this town but from several important figures in the province and even the royal capital, it was clear that Helma’s services were sought by those in power.Aware of his own status, Keith had never considered asking Helma for help. However, seeing his daughter’s condition co
The Majestic Heir Chapter 30 - The Young Singer
"Come in, please." Keith forced a smile onto his face as he welcomed Marc into his house. Despite this, his mind was seething with anger. "Damn it! This brat is such a master con artist!"Just yesterday, Keith hadn’t cared much when the three wives of the shop owners said that Marc was a skilled con man. To him, no con artist or criminal could do anything in front of him. They would all kneel before him soon enough.But today, he had to suppress his anger even further when he saw Marc coming to his house. To Keith, it seemed like the young man was challenging him. And what enraged him even more, this damn brat didn’t come alone but brought a powerful figure with him. "If it weren’t for Mr. Robins being here, I would’ve beaten this bastard into the ground!""After deceiving Mr. Wellington and Mr. Skiyd, now he’s managed to con a butler from the Quentin family," Keith thought again, glaring at Marc out of the corner of his eye with anger and disgust that he tried to hide. "I can't let m
The Majestic Heir Chapter 31 - The Giant Rambutan
“Don’t worry, my dear,” Wilma thought to herself, unable to hide the sadness etched across her face. She knew how much singing had been her daughter’s dream since childhood, and she couldn’t bear to let her lose that dream. “Master Tilcott will surely heal you soon.”As her heart filled with thoughts of hope and prayer, Marc’s voice, though soft, cut through her thoughts like an unwelcome guest. “Have you ever eaten a giant rambutan before?”“About this big.” Locking eyes with Rose, Marc raised his hand as though holding a spherical object slightly larger than a tennis ball. “Yeah, about the size of a soccer ball… Have you ever tried one?”While Rose furrowed her brows in confusion, Wilma could no longer suppress her anger. “You! What nonsense are you spouting?” Her tear-stained eyes widened menacingly, filled with fury.Wilma had never shown this side of herself in front of her daughter, but Marc’s absurd behavior pushed her over the edge. “Get out of here before I truly lose my pati

Chapter 209 - The Scorpion Gang
"What? Are you serious? You actually let them do this?"Leah couldn’t believe her eyes.Hundreds of motorcycles were parked outside the building. Judging by their hardcore punk-style gear, anyone in this district would instantly recognize them—it was the Scorpion gang, the very group that had been Larsian’s sworn enemy for as long as she could remember.Back in the day, if the Larsians—the proud name the people here called themselves—ever spotted a Scorpion, they wouldn’t hesitate to shoot on sight. That hadn’t changed, not even when Leah left the group eight months ago.But now, seeing the Scorpions walking freely into their headquarters and being welcomed by many of her former allies—she simply couldn’t accept it."This is exactly what I wanted to show you, Lee. Things are different now. People think siding with them is the better option," Levi explained."No! This can’t be happening! I have to stop them!""Marvel, we’ve got everything you asked for. We can leave now."An older man
Chapter 208 - You’re Home?
Stepping through the doorway, the interior of the building was a stark contrast to its abandoned exterior. Inside, everything was neat and clean, resembling a fully operational factory.However, instead of just metalworking equipment, the walls were lined with an array of firearms, ranging from the lightest to the heaviest models. Several men and women were busy assembling specific gun parts, working with meticulous precision."This place hasn’t changed. Thank goodness!" Purple grinned widely. Though she hadn’t been born here, she had spent decades of her life within these walls. This place had once been her home.But the further she walked, the more she noticed the stares. Men and women alike watched her with eyes full of doubt. Instead of welcoming her back, their gazes carried disgust and resentment. Not a single one of them made a move to speak to her."Well, thank you all for such a warm welcome back to Duskmoor. You're too kind," Purple said sarcastically, as if addressing them
Chapter 207 - Shadow of Cammont
A few hours earlier in the city of Cammont.Vroom-vroom!A Ducati Panigale roared through the crowded streets, weaving effortlessly between cars and trucks. The rider, a woman clad in a black leather jacket and a matching short skirt, maneuvered with the precision of a professional racer. She had no trouble overtaking one vehicle after another, executing sharp turns and sudden brakes with a confidence that spoke volumes of her skill.Within minutes, she left the bustling part of the city behind and arrived at a district that, while seemingly abandoned, still had buildings in remarkably good condition.Duskmoor District.A large sign at the roadside marked the entrance as she approached a metal gate blocking off a secluded street. This place was infamous as The Shadow of Cammont, a hub for illicit dealings. Law enforcement rarely intervened here—as if there was an unspoken agreement with the government. Criminals who sought refuge in Duskmoor were left alone, so long as they stayed wit
Chapter 206 - The Final Plea
The elderly woman cast aside all the pride and respect she had once commanded as a matriarch of the Everstone clan. None of it mattered now. The only thing that mattered was an apology from the young man standing before her."My lady."Marc spoke, his voice calm yet resolute."This is not a personal dispute between me and Alistair, nor between me and your clan, where a simple apology could erase everything that has transpired. It is far greater than that. This is about my duty to take decisive action against the corruption that has plagued Walenstein Province."As Vice Marquis, Marc held authority second only to the Marquis himself. In the Kingdom of Lanshire, individuals of his rank were often the first to be deployed when matters of security arose, regardless of the situation.He had initially declined this title, knowing full well how it would alter his responsibilities. He had once been solely a healer, but this position burdened him with something far greater—the responsibility t
Chapter 205 - A Fitting Punishment
"Hey, you bastard! You used magic to mess with His Lordship's mind, didn't you?"Lara Everstone, the most beautiful girl in the clan—also the smartest, and of course, the most cunning—could no longer hold back when she saw her distant uncle running away as if he'd seen a ghost.Her anger boiled over. Alistair and Nicholas were both legitimate nobles of this clan, yet their fates were equally tragic.Nicholas lay unconscious in his private chambers, receiving treatment after being slammed to the ground by Harper. And now, his father, Lord Everstone himself, had been sent fleeing in terror by some unknown magical technique."Do you really think you can pull off such a vile trick on my uncle without anyone noticing?" the young woman shouted. "Remember, he is a noble, and you're just a commoner! No matter what you've done, it's a crime, and I’m certain the royal guards will come after you soon!"Lara’s face flushed red with rage, her words burning with passion. It almost sounded like she
Chapter 204 - Written Nonsense
"Y-you..."The cultivator's body trembled violently. The figure standing before him was too terrifying to face."Even if his abilities are only at level 10, why do I feel such overwhelming fear when I look into his eyes?" the cultivator thought."I won’t repeat myself." The words left Marc’s lips once more, his gaze fixed firmly on the cultivator’s eyes. This time, his tone carried an unmistakable authority.Under that piercing stare, the cultivator's body shook even harder. And for reasons beyond his comprehension, his right hand moved on its own, handing over the paper he had been clutching to Marc."W-what... what did you do to me?"The cultivator was even more shocked by the way his body had acted against his will. At that moment, he realized that this young man was no ordinary person. He had to be... a sorcerer!Ignoring the question, Marc took the paper from the cultivator’s hand and snapped a photo of it with his tablet.[What do you think? Is this enough to get him severely pu
Chapter 203 - A Miracle
"Stop!"The cultivator was about to grab the collar of the man in the blue suit, who lay curled up on the floor, his body drenched in blood, when Marc's voice stopped him. Naturally, that irritated him."Hey, what do you want by stopping me? You want to take his place and get beaten instead? Want me to smash your face in, huh?"The cultivator turned toward Marc, ready to strike the young man right then and there. However, for some reason, his body refused to move."Damn it! What’s happening to me?!"At the same time, without paying the cultivator the slightest bit of attention, Marc stepped toward the man in the blue suit, crouched down, and placed his palm on his forehead."He's just an ordinary man, yet you beat him as if he were your equal?"Marc kept his palm pressed against the man’s forehead as his cold, piercing gaze locked onto the cultivator."Yeah? And what’s your problem with that?" The cultivator, clad in black from head to toe, sneered at Marc. Despite his arrogance, he s
Chapter 202 - I Can't
"I-I... I can't sign it."The man in the blue suit stammered, his voice shaking as he refused.If he handed over all his assets, wouldn't that be the same as signing his own death warrant?"You insolent fool! How dare you say that? Have you grown tired of living, huh?!"Slap!A resounding slap landed on the man's cheek. Because it came from a cultivator, the force sent him flying a meter back, his face twisting from the impact. A searing pain spread across his skin, making his vision blur.But the torment wasn't over yet.The cultivator yanked him upright again, forcing him back into his seat."Sign it. Now. Don't resist. If you refuse again, I'll make sure you never show your face in public again!"The man in the blue suit sat dazed, blood trickling from the corner of his lips. Yet, despite the agony, he shook his head. He would rather die than lose everything he had built.“I have a wife and child to protect,” he told himself. “I'd rather die than see them suffer.”"You stubborn bas
Chapter 201 - Surrender!
"Oh, wait! Why should I be merciful? Hahaha!"Laughing uproariously, his body tilting back, Alistair looked as if he were toying with those foolish enough to stand against him."Since you've all chosen to stand behind this boy in defiance of me, you've sealed your own fate!"Pointing his finger at the people gathered behind Marc, Alistair's face twisted into a sinister grin. Any trace of patience and courtesy he had previously shown was now completely gone.It wasn't just Alistair. The other members of the Everstone clan were equally overjoyed, their expressions smug and victorious."That brat—Helma’s disciple—actually thought his status alone could challenge us? What a joke! Hahaha!"The bespectacled man threw his head back in laughter, his eyes fixed on Marc. Not long ago, he had suffered humiliation after losing an argument to the young man. But now, it seemed he had nothing to be embarrassed about anymore. Tonight, this boy and everyone with him would be wiped out.One by one, the
