"Mmm, this..." Wiping away the remnants of food from her mouth, Leonie opened her bag and took out a small black wooden box. The box resembled a pencil case and didn’t look particularly special. "This was a gift my father gave me before he passed away."

Without being prompted, Leonie opened the box, and Marc immediately nodded. On the table sat a small stalk of yarsagumba, its blood-red surface velvety, with fine veins that seemed to glow faintly under the light. Its herbal aroma was so potent that every breath felt like it carried the energy of the snowy mountains where it originated. Though this object, resembling a caterpillar cocoon, appeared trivial, among elite healers, they would pay any price to acquire it.

"Yes, this is definitely king yarsagumba. It’s the same one I saw back then," Marc thought, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the medicinal plant. The king yarsagumba before him was identical to the one Helma had given that old officer. "But how did this end up in her possessi

    "Mr. Robins, welcome. We’re sorry we didn’t know it was you who would be coming to see us." Leonie immediately rose from her seat and bowed respectfully upon realizing who had arrived. Sasha followed suit. They both knew the man before them was the butler of the Quentin family.Although the two women wore warm, polite smiles, they couldn’t fully believe what was happening. “So, this is the person Marc meant? Was he really not joking?” they thought, still stunned that Marc had been completely serious about his claims."Thank you, Mrs. Griffin. Please, no need to stand on ceremony. I’ve come here on the recommendation of..."Bachary was about to mention Marc’s name when he noticed the young man at the corner of the room shaking his head and pressing a finger to his lips."Very well, I’ll get straight to business. Mrs. Griffin, I would like to offer one hundred million for this plant. Do you have any objections?" Gesturing toward the king yarsagumba in the black box, Bachary’s expression

    “What exactly is inside this little box?” Marc murmured to himself, clutching the velvet-lined, deep maroon box that resembled a ring case. It was seven in the evening as he walked past the front gate, replaying Annette’s words in his head.“Even though it looks fragile, this box is incredibly sturdy. We’ve never been able to open it, no matter how hard we’ve tried.”Still gazing at the small box, Marc didn’t realize he had already reached the lobby door. As he stepped inside, Leonie and Sasha were sitting on the sofa, engrossed in their phones.This time, however, Marc noticed something different about their appearance compared to the last two days. Sasha was wearing a sleeveless maroon evening gown that fell just above her knees, while Leonie wore an elegant black dress. Their attire made them look not only stunning but also like sisters.“You both look amazing tonight. Are you heading out for dinner?” Marc greeted them, quickly tucking the tiny box into his shirt pocket.“Oh, Marc!

  • The Majestic Heir    Chapter 50 - The Gentlemen

    Twenty minutes before they arrived at this restaurant."Erick, what the hell is this? Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?" A man in his mid-thirties, wearing a black suit with a bright yellow tie, slammed one hand on the table on the eighth floor of The Atrium. His other hand pointed accusingly at a bald man, the same age as him, who kept his head bowed. "Do you have any idea how much I've lost because of your incompetence?""Mr. Moore, please forgive me." Erick lifted his face slightly. "I-I honestly didn’t know the mayor would send a task force to arrest Mr. Egerton," he stammered.As the son of Cammont’s head of security, Erick Keating was a mid-ranking officer in the city’s police force, someone who should have played a major role in cleaning up the city of its criminal elements. However, instead of upholding justice, he used his position to cozy up to gang leaders, offering his services to protect them from the police.Chesley was one of those who had employed Erick’s se

    "No! This doesn’t look right! I can’t just accept terms like this!" Leonie shook her head vehemently as she read the contents of the letter on the table.Randolph owed Ezra ten million dollars. If the first party failed to repay the debt by the due date, he would hand over his wife to the second party until the debt was settled. And, to make matters worse, the letter was signed by the head of the Cammont Department of Security, which meant it couldn’t possibly be fake.Unbelievable!"Mrs. Griffin, do you think this is my doing? I also don’t understand why your husband used you as collateral. But if there’s someone to blame, it’s your husband," Ezra said, feigning an uncomfortable expression, though in his heart, he was grinning ear to ear."Mr. Moore, please understand my situation." Leonie pleaded softly, her voice low and her face half-desperate. "Randolph and I are about to get divorced, so I don’t want to get involved in his affairs or responsibilities."Exhaling deeply, Ezra gave

    "Mom, are you okay?" Sasha hugged Leonie, who was sitting on the floor, still looking dazed and unable to believe what had just happened."Y-yes... Yes.""Thank goodness. Everything is safe now. I brought security officers with me."Behind Sasha, two security officers scratched their heads, staring at the ten bulky bodyguards sprawled unconscious on the floor."Who is this young man?" they wondered, glancing at Marc. "His fighting skills are terrifying!"These two security officers were certified martial artists. In combat—whether armed or unarmed—their abilities were unquestionable. However, witnessing the speed and explosive force of Marc's punches earlier left them both holding their breath. Even a martial arts master might not be able to execute such precise and devastating movements."Sasha, take care of your mom for now. I'll handle this." Marc said firmly before opening the door to a room and stepping inside."M-Marc..." Sasha raised her hand, intending to stop him. Yet, for so

    “This scoundrel, Dad, this is the one I told you about.” Pushing his way through the crowd with hurried steps, Erick pointed his index finger at Marc while looking at his father. “Not only has this guy attacked innocent people, but he’s also been brazenly disrespectful and violated the law by meddling in Mr. Moore’s affairs.”With a disgusted expression, Erick kept pointing at Marc, passionately defending Ezra. Of course, he was doing this to make it clear to the businessman that his father’s arrival tonight was all thanks to him.“Mr. Moore, what do you think? I’ve never let you down, have I?” Erick whispered in Ezra’s ear as he approached him. “With my dad here now, there’s nothing to worry about anymore.”“Deal with this scum and make him rot in prison! I’ll pay you whatever you want!” Ezra, his eyes blazing with fury, could no longer tolerate someone like Marc walking free without facing consequences.“Thank you, Mr. Moore.” Erick’s eyes gleamed with delight. Since the businessman

    Leonie stood silently, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She had nothing left to say, as though her world had crumbled and swallowed her whole. Against these powerful figures, what could an ordinary woman like her possibly do?"Kid, don't tell me you're still not satisfied after all these people have testified against you!" Eric's sharp gaze bore into Marc as he pointed his index finger at him. "Right now, all the witnesses and evidence are stacked heavily against you. If you refuse to cooperate, I won’t hesitate to push for a life sentence!"Eric's stern and resolute expression drew admiration from the crowd that had gathered."Mr. Keating truly is remarkable. He has the ability to uncover even the most hidden truths!" thought the onlookers. They nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with awe and respect as they watched the officer."I almost mistook that young man for a hero—if not for Mr. Keating revealing his true face as a criminal. This city is truly fortunate to have a cl

    "Hahaha! What are you doing? Calling your parents to solve your problem? But why don’t I see you as someone from a wealthy family background?"Hearing Marc call for help, Erick burst into laughter. His face, which had been red with anger moments ago, now turned red from laughing so hard."Funny! So hilarious! This is the first time I’ve seen someone cornered call for help that’s utterly useless!"Not only Erick, but Ezra and everyone else present couldn’t hold back their laughter either. To them, rather than doing something serious, what Marc did looked like a complete joke.The atmosphere at the back of the eighth floor of The Atrium was filled with laughter when, suddenly, a firm voice rang out from behind them."Make way! Clear the path for Mr. Mayor!"The laughter ceased immediately at the sound of the voice. When they turned around, they saw a tall, muscular bodyguard escorting a man in his late forties.

    Marc was still contemplating Randolph's motives when the car they were in passed through the inn's gates."Home sweet home!" Sasha exclaimed spontaneously as she stepped out of the car. After months of feeling like she was in hell at her own home, weighed down by one family problem after another, she found immense comfort here at the inn. Her expression made it clear—she felt like she was truly home.Sniff, sniff.At the same time, Marc's nose caught a familiar scent—the foul stench of flesh-eating creatures."Mrs. Griffin, Sasha, quickly get inside and lock the lobby door!" Marc ordered sharply, his serious gaze fixed on a distant point in the hills."Marc, what's going on?" Leonie asked, noticing that the young man's face was devoid of the playful expression he just wore."It seems we're about to have some visitors," Marc replied, narrowing his eyes as if spotting something far off. "No matter what happens or who tries to get in, except if it's me, don't open the door. Now, go!""Hm

  • Chapter 59 - “Yeah, Right!”

    "What? What did I just hear?" Leonie couldn’t hide the shock on her face, though her scream of disbelief remained trapped in her heart. Marc is the richest young man in Cammont? Her suspicions felt validated. So I was right—he’s deliberately hiding his true identity!“M-Marc, oh, I mean, Mr. Belmont, thank you for helping us. We won’t forget your kindness, and we’re willing to do whatever we can whenever you need it,” Leonie said in a highly polite tone, bowing her head occasionally.“Not just all of Cammont—I’m the richest young man in the entire kingdom of Lanshire!” Marc declared, paying no attention to Leonie’s words. His gaze turned upward toward the car window, his chest puffing out proudly. “I’ll even be king of this kingdom one day!”Leonie turned to Sasha, confusion written all over her face. What is happening? she mouthed silently to her daughter, bewildered by Marc’s peculiar behavior.“I have no idea,” Sasha replied, shrugging both shoulders, equally perplexed. To her, Mar

  • Chapter 58 - In the Darkness of Night

    Three hundred miles outside Cammont, three nights earlier.In an expansive forest surrounded by towering mountain ranges, there was a flat field as large as a football field covered in lush green grass. At its center stood a two-meter-high stone platform with a diameter of thirty meters. Around the platform, about thirty men in black hooded robes knelt in silence. Seated atop the stone platform were three men on intricately carved stone chairs.Dressed in high-collared capes paired with formal aristocratic attire, these men were members of the Dragusin family—a lineage of vampires who commanded the goblins of the northern territories. With shoulder-length hair and skin as pale as corpses, their faces were unnervingly handsome, as though sculpted with extraordinary precision. Despite being over three hundred years old, anyone who saw them would guess their age to be no more than their mid-thirties."Brother, we cannot simply stand by while the people of Cammont massacre the goblins."

    Slap!The sound of a slap echoed throughout the room as Newell finished reading the document. "What is the meaning of this? Can you explain this to me?""M-Mr. Brown, what do you mean?" Winfield clutched his cheek, staring at the mayor with a questioning look. The sting on his cheek was nothing compared to the humiliation, especially since it happened in front of so many people. It was a disgrace he would never live down."You're asking me that?" the mayor snarled, tossing the document in his hand at the old man. "How could you approve such a ridiculous agreement?"Confused, Winfield lowered his gaze to the papers. The moment his eyes scanned the text, they widened in shock, and his face turned red with fury."You insolent fool! What have you done?" he roared, grabbing Erick by the collar. "This is your doing, isn’t it?""D-Dad, w-what do you mean?" Erick stammered, his body trembling as he faced his father’s wrath. "What are you saying?"Slap!Slap!"You bastard! Open your eyes and l

    "Forgive me, Mr. Belmont, but what do you mean?" Newell furrowed his brows, his face showing a questioning expression as he glanced at Winfield and his men before returning his gaze to Marc. "Have they done something to offend you?"Although Newell held immense respect for Marc, it wasn’t merely because the young man had once helped him. Deep in his heart, the mayor recognized that, much like Helma, Marc genuinely cared about others and never acted solely for his own benefit. If the young man said something, it was bound to be serious and required resolution."You..." Winfield stared sharply at Marc, his jaw clenching as he trembled with barely-contained anger. The youth before him had brazenly labeled him and his son as troublemakers and had dragged the mayor into the issue. Even so, Winfield restrained himself from speaking or acting further, out of deference to Newell."They haven’t bothered me in the slightest, nor have they tried to cause any trouble." Marc shook his head."Then?
