“You little punk!”

The gangster clenched his jaw in fury. That worker had crossed the line—completely. This wasn’t something he could let slide anymore.

“So you do want me to smash your skull in, huh? Fine! You asked for it!”

He gripped the gun in his hand tighter, ready to slam the butt of it into the worker’s head. In his mind, he wouldn’t stop until the man’s skull was cracked wide open.

But just as he raised his hand, a strange rustling sound reached his ears. It wasn’t just the workers—members of the Scorpions were murmuring too.

“What the hell is that?”

He instinctively stopped and turned his head toward the source of the noise—where everyone else was looking.

“What the—?”

At the top of the hill, emerging through the thick, bone-chilling mist, a horde of strange figures appeared. They stood upright like humans but were dressed in ragged, torn clothes, with a chaotic, almost grotesque appearance.

“Are they... beggars? But that many of them?”

None of the Scorpions or the workers h

    Roar!While the Scorpions were still frozen in shock, watching one of their own get torn to pieces, more goblins came charging in, leaping toward them with terrifying speed.Their movements were agile—almost cat-like, but with the ruthless intent of wolves hunting prey."Aaargh! Help me! It’s biting my leg!"Another Scorpion member hit the ground hard as a goblin latched onto his thigh and yanked him down like a predator dragging off its kill."Don’t let it eat me! I don’t wanna die!"Crash! Crash!His screams didn’t last long. A pack of goblins swarmed him, ripping his arms, head, and torso apart in seconds, devouring him like rabid animals.“Holy shit…”Bulldog was speechless.He had seen his share of carnage—war zones, back-alley shootouts, bloodbaths in city streets. But nothing compared to what was unfolding before him now.These creatures—ugly, twisted, and downright disgusting—were far more savage than he'd ever imagined. Fiercer than wild beasts. More vicious than tigers.Whil

    Rattatatat! Rattatatat!Bang! Bang! Bang!“Hahaha! You ugly, dumb freaks! You think taking us down is gonna be easy? We’re the ones who’ll wipe you out first!”Bulldog’s laughter roared louder and louder. His adrenaline was surging, and the same could be said for nearly every one of his men.They weren’t just armed—they were locked and loaded with enough ammo to mow down every last one of these goblins.But while the Scorpions thought they had the upper hand, one of the newest recruits, an eighteen-year-old named Brad, wasn’t sharing in their enthusiasm. His face was tight with tension, his heart pounding harder with every second.“Something’s not right about this…”He muttered under his breath, still keeping his aim steady, targeting goblin after goblin as they charged toward the group.“There’s no blood... nothing. I hit one in the head, and it looked totally fine.”Everyone else was too hyped to notice the odd details. But Brad saw it clear as day.Every time a bullet struck a gobl

    “Urgh!”Brad’s body lurched forward as a hot bullet pierced his back. Moments later, he felt warm liquid trickling down his spine—pain and burning finally catching up to him.He had never been shot before. Heck, he hadn’t even held a gun until a week ago, when he was forced to join Scorpion.His family was homeless and unemployed. Brad, who had never received formal education because he'd spent his entire life working to support them, didn’t stand a chance at getting hired anywhere. In times like these, no diploma meant no job—period.In the end, he signed up with Scorpion, assigned to guard duty and janitorial work. But for some reason, Marvel had ordered him to tag along on this mission today.He was in pain, sure—but Brad couldn’t afford to stop here. If he did, these man-eating monsters would gladly make him their next meal.Bang! Bang! Bang!Amid the chaos, more gunshots rang out—headed straight for him. But to his relief, the bullets struck the goblins surrounding him instead.T

    Before his subordinate could utter a single word, the goblin yanked him off the ground with nothing but its jaws.“No! Don’t kill me! Please! I want to live! No!”That was the last scream that left his lips—because a split second later...Crash! Crash! Crash!Several other goblins swarmed over and tore his body apart, devouring him hungrily.Roar!!!!And he wasn’t the only one. Cries of agony and desperate pleas echoed from every corner of the inn’s front yard. What was supposed to be a killing ground for the Scorpions had now turned into their own slaughterhouse.“Aaaargh! Help! Somebody help!”“Stay back! Don’t come any closer! Aaaargh!”“No—they’re biting me! Aaaargh! Let go! Get them off me!”The once-arrogant Scorpion crew, who had swaggered in with full confidence, now lay writhing on the ground, their bodies soaked in blood. Many had lost their limbs while still conscious—thrashing, screaming, praying for any way to free themselves from the jaws of these nightmarish creatures.

  • The Majestic Heir    Chapter 237 - Brad’s Last Stand

    “Urgh!”Brad staggered forward, every step heavier than the last. His vision was starting to blur, and his body felt weaker by the second.He had managed to escape the swarm of goblins, but the pain in his back wasn’t letting up—in fact, it was getting worse. He could also feel the blood soaking through his clothes, oozing more and more with each passing moment.“I can’t stop here. I need to get farther away. Just a little more.”But the moment he made that promise to himself, a wave of dizziness crashed over him. His head started spinning, and dark spots danced across his sight.Thud!Brad collapsed onto the ground, unable to stay on his feet.Roar!The guttural snarl of a goblin echoed from somewhere close behind him.He’d only encountered these terrifying creatures tonight, but he was already learning their habits. They had an uncanny sense of smell when it came to blood. Just one drop was enough to send them into a frenzy.“Damn it. It must’ve picked up the scent from my clothes..

    Meanwhile, deep in the tall grass of a dense thicket…“Mya, whatever spell you’re casting—make sure it’s strong enough to hold these things off.”Leah muttered through gritted teeth, her eyes fixed on Mya, who was seated cross-legged beside her. The two girls were huddled within a glowing magic circle barely ten feet in diameter, a fragile sanctuary surrounded by an ocean of death.Leah’s heart was pounding like a war drum. Her face was drawn tight with fear, cold sweat trickling down her temples and soaking through her clothes.“Damn it! This is insane!”What lay before her eyes was, without a doubt, the most horrifying sight she had ever witnessed in her entire life.A massive horde of zombie-like creatures—bodies mangled, faces torn, and exuding a stench so vile it could turn the strongest stomach. It was a grotesque cocktail of death and rot designed to ignite primal terror in anyone who laid eyes on them.And the worst part? There weren’t just a few. Not dozens. Not even hundreds

  • The Majestic Heir    Chapter 239 - A Sense of Relief

    Roar! Roar! Roar!As if responding to the distant gunfire echoing in the night, the goblins grew louder and more erratic—howling, snarling, baring their teeth with bizarre gestures and guttural screams that sent chills crawling up Leah’s spine.She’d been gripped by an unshakable fear ever since she’d been trapped here, and the grotesque spectacle before her wasn’t helping. But something shifted when she remembered she wasn’t truly alone. The Scorpion Gang was out there. Armed and ruthless. That thought alone lightened the crushing weight pressing down on her chest.“Why should I be afraid?” she told herself. “Those brutes came loaded with enough weapons to wipe out every last one of these disgusting creatures.”With that comforting thought, Leah's fear began to fade, replaced by a fragile sense of confidence. All she had to do was wait. Just a little longer until the Scorpions cleared the courtyard of goblins. Then, she’d signal them. They’d come for her. It was all going to be okay.

  • The Majestic Heir    Chapter 240 - First Impression

    “Y-you…”Leah’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her face turned pale, frozen in shock.It wasn’t just what she was seeing—it was how her mind struggled to process it.“That goblin just… spoke?” Her heart pounded as the thought hit her like a hammer.“Aren’t goblins just animals? Disgusting creatures? Whatever they are, how can one possibly talk?”But more than that, what truly left her rattled was the goblin woman’s words—words that cut straight to her deepest, most guarded secret. A secret she’d never told another soul. A secret she never planned to tell anyone.“Then how does she know about me? How? Who—what—is she really?”Leah stood frozen in place, her mind a whirlwind of questions. And somehow, despite how absurd it all seemed, what the goblin had said… felt true.Leah hadn’t been chosen as Violet’s bodyguard because she was the most skilled candidate. Far from it.She’d been picked because—by some strange twist of fate—she had unknowingly sparked something inside Violet. A desire th

    Even though Tedd's voice dripped with hatred, there was a sadness in his eyes he couldn't hide.It was hard to tell if he truly hated Leah... or if he and the rest of the Larsian crew were just using her as a scapegoat for their own frustrations.Leah was, after all, the daughter of their leader.If she couldn’t take responsibility, who else was there to blame?At least, that’s what they kept telling themselves.Leah didn’t say a word.She just stood there, silent.And without meaning to, two tears slowly slid down her cheeks.She hadn’t been lying when she said Larsian was like family to her.So hearing those words—hearing them say they were disappointed in her, that they didn’t want to see her again—hurt more than anything she could’ve imagined."I... I don’t know how to make it right," Leah rasped, her voice thick with unshed tears. "But I really am sorry."She blinked rapidly, trying to keep herself from falling apart right there in front of them. She didn’t want them thinking she

    An hour later, the van Leah was driving rolled through the gates of Duskmoor District.She kept the wheel steady, navigating the van through the deserted streets until she pulled up in front of a run-down building — the headquarters of the Larsian crew.Turning the wheel sharply, she guided the van down into the underground parking lot.Clack!The sound of the van door echoed through the dim garage as Leah hopped out and slammed it shut behind her.A wide grin lit up her face when she spotted the Larsians standing by the entrance — Tedd front and center, acting as the temporary leader while her father, Lars, recovered from his illness.At first, Leah thought they were there to welcome her back.But it didn’t take long for her to realize... something was off.None of them smiled.Instead, they stood stiffly, arms crossed, their faces twisted into scowls. The coldness in their eyes hit her like a slap."You happy now? Huh?" Tedd's voice was icy as he glared at her. "Happy that the missi

    "Well, looks like you’re better than I thought, Mya."Leah, the bank officer inside the second armored van, muttered to herself as she watched the line of police cars and the Benz drive off, leaving her behind.Last night, before Mya set off, she had whispered something in Leah’s ear."Give me the phone number of one of the officers on duty. Make sure it’s someone with a rank. Then just watch—I’ll make everything a whole lot easier for you.""Alright."Leah nodded. It wasn’t hard for her. As a bodyguard, she had plenty of connections among officers and military personnel across Cammont Province. All she had to do was pick someone she thought would be the easiest to sway.After scrolling through her contacts for a moment, she handed Mya a number.And just before the first armored van left the Cammont Bank earlier, Mya had called that number—and she got through."Listen to me carefully..."Mya’s voice poured through the line, firm and commanding."If anyone stops you and asks about me—a

    "Listen carefully. Just move the money. Leave the documents and everything else alone."A strange whisper echoed louder and louder inside the two officers’ heads. It was almost like something was trying to control them. Without a second thought, the officer behind the wheel pulled their car over, parking right behind the armored van they'd been seeing. He flicked on the hazard lights, signaling the three cars behind them to stop, too.The convoy obediently pulled over. But the bank manager from Walenstein wasted no time jumping out of his sleek Benz, his face tight with suspicion."What's going on? Why the sudden stop? Why are you halting us like this?"According to the plan, they were supposed to drive straight to the capital without stopping. No vehicle swaps, no changes. The manager's unease grew as he eyed the situation."Sir, apologies," one of the officers said stiffly, pointing at the armored van ahead. "But there's been a change of plans. We need to transfer the money into tha

    [Good.][Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.][Get ready and wait at the next pickup point.]Three quick messages popped up on Leah’s phone. After reading them, she grabbed her handbag and headed straight to the restaurant's restroom.Zrrrip!She yanked open the zipper on her bag and pulled out a light blue uniform—standard issue for employees of the Walenstein Bank. Next came a reddish-brown wig and a realistic-looking skin mask.First, Leah changed into the uniform, stuffing her formal outfit into the bag. She slipped on the wig, carefully tucking away her natural black hair underneath.Finally, with quick, practiced movements, she pressed the mask over her face. The transformation was seamless—like she’d done it a hundred times before.In less than five minutes, Leah’s appearance was completely different.She topped off the look with a simple cap, then tucked a pistol into the waistband of her skirt.When she stepped out of the restroom five minutes later, anyone would’ve sworn she

    Mya and Leah hurried down the darkened street, their steps quick and determined.At first, they’d been terrified at the thought of facing Grizelda again after the goblin leader's chilling threats. But now, there was something else driving them — something stronger.Excitement."Please let this work," Mya prayed silently, her eyes locked forward, cutting through the thick night air."Because if it doesn't... I’ll never forgive myself."She cast a quick glance at Leah, the younger woman keeping pace beside her — five years her junior and yet already making life-altering decisions with reckless bravery.Leah had chosen her path: she would disappear from Violet’s life for good, cut all ties, and chase the freedom that Mya offered."If I fail her... if I fail us... I'll never be able to live with myself."Mya’s gaze lingered on Leah, feeling the weight of the trust the girl had placed in her. Leah had left behind the security and comfort of her old life, choosing instead the uncertainty of

  • Chapter 246 - Using Grizelda?

    Mya froze for a moment, stunned by Leah’s words.They made sense—painfully so.It was something that had never even crossed her mind before.With Grizelda's insane power, taking down someone like Marc should’ve been child’s play, right?“But...”Mya's brow furrowed deeply as she sank into thought.Still, for the first time in a while, the sadness etched into her face seemed to lift—just a little.“We know Marc isn’t at the inn,” she said slowly.The two women had double-checked—Marc wasn’t anywhere in Greencliff.And if they assumed he knew about the goblins’ arrival... well, that could only mean one thing.“With that many goblins showing up, if he really was planning to run, there’s no way he’d even think about going back to the inn. Not anytime soon, anyway.”Leah jumped in without missing a beat.“Which is exactly why it’s our job to make sure Grizelda hunts him down, no matter where he’s hiding!”Her eyes widened, a grin stretching across her face, practically vibrating with excit

  • Chapter 245 - Mya’s Sorrow

    "Are we safe now?"Leah asked, glancing at Mya as the last of the goblin horde finally disappeared into the distance."Hmm."Mya gave a slight nod, saying nothing more.Out there in the tall grass, the two of them could finally breathe. No more goblins surrounding them, no more immediate danger.It looked like a relief. Like a win.They hadn't even needed to lift a finger to escape.But for Mya, it didn’t feel like a victory at all.It felt like a crushing defeat."My whole life," Mya murmured, her voice low and heavy, "I dreamed of being Grizelda’s only partner in Cammont. I did everything I could to get Marvel out of the way... and in the end, it still wasn’t enough."Her voice trembled with grief. Her face was shadowed, not just with sadness, but deep disappointment — at herself. At her failure to earn Grizelda’s trust.If only she'd succeeded in partnering with the goblin leader, she could've commanded the thousands of goblins swarming Cammont. With that kind of power?

    Back to the present.“No way! How could she possibly know about that?!”Leah couldn’t stop asking herself that question, her eyes fixed on the goblin woman in front of her. She had never told anyone about it—not a soul—and she was absolutely certain no one had ever caught her with Violet.But this goblin?“You shouldn’t speak about things you know nothing about,” the goblin said, her tone cold.Leah’s mouth was slightly open, frozen in shock. She still hadn’t recovered enough to speak when the goblin continued.“I don’t care if you think you or humans in general are better than us. But I won’t tolerate mockery or insults—especially the kind you just threw.”“I—I didn’t mean—”Leah tried to explain herself, to say she hadn’t meant it as an insult. But the words stuck in her throat. And even if she did explain, would this goblin believe her?Mocking someone—whether it’s a joke or not—is never just harmless. It wounds.Meanwhile, seeing the tension spark between Leah and Grizelda, Mya re
