The Majestic Heir Chapter 64 - The Healing Zhenqi
"Mrs. Griffin, are you alright?" Marc hurried toward Leonie, who was sitting at the lobby entrance with Sasha. Not only did their faces look utterly shocked, but their appearances were also in complete disarray. Their hair stood on end like they had just been electrocuted, and their makeup was smudged beyond recognition. If the situation were less dire, Marc might have laughed at how they resembled people who had been abandoned and left to go mad for years."Marc... they're not human, are they?" With eyes wide in shock, Leonie asked Marc while glancing at the goblin corpses scattered across the floor."Hmmm..." Marc nodded. "They're goblins—man-eating creatures." Truthfully, Marc didn’t want to explain further. But the fact that Leonie had asked such a question showed she had already witnessed too much. "But you don’t need to worry; I’ve taken care of all of them.""Mrs. Griffin, Sasha, stay inside while I bury the goblin corpses. I need to do this quickly since their bodies are highl
The Majestic Heir Chapter 65 - A Morning Call
"BLARE-BLARE!"The blaring sound of a trumpet filled the room as Marc lazily opened his eyes, stretching one arm toward the small table beside his bed. "Who’s calling this early?" he muttered, pressing the "Answer" button with mild irritation."Good morning, Master Tilcott. May happiness always be with you." The raspy, deep voice of an old man on the other end sounded unusually cheerful, though it didn’t ease the annoyance in Marc’s chest. "Do you still remember me?"Before Marc could respond and explain that he wasn’t Helma, the old man continued. "This is Tenzin of the White Lotus Monastery. I couldn’t wait to share some wonderful news with you."Four months ago, Helma had visited the largest monastery in Cammont after being summoned by one of the monks, who had requested the master healer's help to treat their abbot, who had suddenly become paralyzed."Don’t worry. It’s just a case of severe exhaustion. With the medicine I’ve provided, Abbot Tenzin will recover fully in four months
The Majestic Heir Chapter 66 - The Challenge
Three hours later, in the Asheville district, a cool mountainous area in the southern region of Cammont.“Honestly, I feel reluctant to part with this item.” A ninety-year-old monk took a small box out of his robe pocket and placed it on the small table in front of him. About the size of a ring box, it was covered in purple velvet. “But since I promised Master Tilcott, I must keep my word.”Marc stared at the box briefly. “It looks exactly like mine,” he thought. “Could there really be many relics like this scattered throughout the kingdom?” Even so, he didn’t linger on it and reached out to take the box.“Your Reverence, I greatly appreciate your kindness.” Marc bowed his head slightly to show respect. “I will keep this box safe and deliver it to Master Tilcott.”But before Marc could take the box, the abbot placed his palm firmly on it.“Mr. Belmont, I never said you could take it immediately.”“What do you mean?” Marc frowned.“Before this box leaves the monastery, I must first see
The Majestic Heir Chapter 67 - You See?
One hour earlier."Sir, is this really the path to the White Lotus Monastery?" Marc asked an old farmer resting at the edge of his field. The narrow trail ahead was not only steep but also littered with large stones. It was no surprise that no GPS service had mapped the area this far.However, this was hardly an issue for Marc. With the zhenqi coursing through his body, even if he had to walk ten times farther than the usual route, he wouldn’t feel the slightest fatigue."Yes, you’re correct." The old man, shirtless and drenched in sweat, nodded his head. Hearing Marc’s question, his expression suddenly turned serious. "Young man, where are you from? Did your parents send you to go up there?""Well..." Before Marc could finish his sentence, the old man interrupted. "Please listen to me—for your own safety, you should turn back and never set foot in that monastery.""What do you mean?" Marc furrowed his brows."Sit down, and I’ll explain everything to you." The old man grabbed Marc’s s
The Majestic Heir Chapter 68 - The Effect
“Your Reverence, what do you mean by this? Promising a food package without including any food inside? Can such a thing even be called a deal?”Although Marc’s tone sounded polite, his sharp gaze betrayed his irritation. He didn’t mind if this old man underestimated or even belittled him. But how could he let anyone toy with him? This old man was no exception!As if seeing a completely different person, Tenzin merely waved his hand dismissively without saying a word.“Let me clarify this for you. This ring is not an ordinary item that can be bought with money. Even the box that holds it is of extraordinary quality. So if I don’t give you the ring but only the box, it’s more than enough. There’s nothing wrong with what I’ve said.”“Your Reverence, you…” Clearly, the old man before him was playing games. And Marc had more than enough reasons to act. Yet, as he recalled what he had seen before arriving here, he nodded, as if realizing something.Instead of losing his temper, Marc wore a bi
The Majestic Heir Chapter 69 - Under the Spell
A loud explosion reverberated through the open building as the girl’s fingertips struck Marc’s chest. Instinctively pulling herself back a few steps, the girl’s eyes widened in shock.“Damn!” she cursed internally. “How is he still standing after my attack?”As a level-12 cultivator, the girl could clearly see that Marc’s internal energy was only at level 10. Although it was just a two-level difference, the gap was substantial. Even a level-11 cultivator wouldn’t dare let her attack land, or their chest would have been blown open on the spot. Yet, Marc not only withstood the attack, but his body felt as solid as a boulder.“What kind of trick is he using?” she wondered, still reeling from the shock. At the same time, she kept shaking her hand, which now tingled as though it had been struck by high-voltage electricity.Moreover, seeing no reaction on Marc’s face made the girl furrow her brows. “Strange! Didn’t I already lace his tea with mind-control powder? Why doesn’t he seem affecte
The Majestic Heir Chapter 70 - Misunderstood
"Oh, what have I done?" Shaking his head vigorously several times, Tenzin’s face was filled with regret. "I attacked an innocent man like you. What a grave sin I have committed.""Your Reverence, you’re not at fault. You were under a spell," Marc said, lifting his palm from Tenzin’s chest after healing the abbot’s internal injuries. "It’s this girl who’s responsible for all this chaos," he added, pointing toward the robed girl standing not far ahead.Mr. Belmont, what do you mean? Miss Morgan is a guest at our monastery." Once Tenzin had recovered from the spell, he recalled that the girl before him wasn’t a stranger. Harper Morgan, who had appeared at the monastery gates looking in need of help four months ago, was already familiar to him."Unfortunately, it seems this girl isn’t what she appears to be," Marc replied, shaking his head. "I’m certain she’s the one who put the spell powder in your drink."Marc hadn’t seen Harper slip the powder into Tenzin’s or his own drink directly, b
The Majestic Heir Chapter 71 - Please Leave!
As Marc remained silent in his thoughts, Harper stood up from the floor and approached the abbot."Your Reverence, we should leave this place immediately and return the box to the storage room. It will become increasingly dangerous if this box stays out any longer.""Ah, yes, yes, but…" Tenzin glanced at Marc. Although he had already decided to accept the girl's opinion that the young man was at fault, he couldn't shake off the discomfort gnawing at his heart, as if he had made the wrong decision."Your Reverence, we don't have much time. Who knows what this man might do next? We can't let him take the box back from you."Without waiting for Tenzin's response, Harper gently yet firmly took the abbot's arm. "I'll call the other disciples to handle him.""Your Reverence, …" Marc tried to stop the abbot, but Harper didn't allow it."Damn it! I can’t just attack this girl recklessly!" Marc cursed under his breath.At this point, Harper had completely earned Tenzin's trust. Attacking her w

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
Chapter 217 - Overconfident
“There’s only one option left. Get out of here before your regrets become completely useless!”Leonie’s voice rang out—firm, loud, and laced with unwavering confidence. She was absolutely certain her threat would have an effect.But maybe her daughter had been right. Bulldog and the rest of the Scorpion gang weren’t the kind of people you could scare off with bold words. They were the underworld’s ruling power in this city.Naturally, they didn’t feel fear. If anything, they were pissed.“You bitch! You think we’re some kids you can scare with your mouth? What an insult! And yelling at our boss? You just signed your death warrant!”One of the gang members glared at Leonie, pointing the end of his weapon straight at her.He didn’t care who owned this inn. Even if it belonged to a baron, it made no difference. In his world, power was the only law. And the Scorpions had enough firepower to take on both the city’s nobles and its government.“Hell yeah! Let’s carve her up! But first, let’s
