2025-02-12 01:01:15"Outrageous!" Clenching his jaw, the black-clad cultivator immediately rose from his seat.
Along with him, four other cultivators did the same. Marc’s words had not only insulted one of their comrades but all of them as a whole.
"Kid, I had no prior quarrel with you, yet you dare speak so rudely to me?" The black-robed cultivator took slow, deliberate steps forward, his gaze locked onto Marc. His deep voice carried a weight of anger. "You're clearly asking for a lesson."
Standing a short distance ahead of Marc, Harper swallowed hard, over and over. Her face, already tense, grew even more strained.
"Damn it! Does this kid have any brain cells left?" she cursed inwardly, glancing between Marc and the cultivators, whose tempers had clearly been ignited. "I told him not to stir up unnecessary trouble, didn’t I? So why is he still so stubborn?"
Like the cultivators, Harper was increasingly frustrated with Marc's attitude. Even so, she still

"Thank you, sir." Flashing a wry smile, Harper wasted no time in grabbing Marc's hand and pulling him away from the scene. They made their way to the corner of the room where a staircase led up to the fourth floor—the baron’s private quarters."Have you completely lost your mind?" Harper couldn’t hold back her anger as they reached the second floor. Her face was flushed, and her breaths came in short, sharp bursts. If she hadn’t remembered Marc’s mysterious pressure technique, she would have slapped and beaten him right then and there."Just because you've reached level 10 and have that mysterious technique, do you think you can take them on? That’s completely absurd! I never thought you were this foolish! Do you have any idea how your actions affect me and my family?"Harper continued to vent her frustration. She had almost landed herself in serious trouble with those cultivators because of Marc’s reckless words, which
The Majestic Heir Chapter 100 - Shadow
Even though Harper appeared indifferent to Marc’s words, she did exactly as he instructed. Lowering her internal energy, she took slow steps toward one of the bodyguards."Gentleman, you will let me pass now." Speaking softly, Harper’s gaze never wavered from the bodyguard’s eyes. Without waiting for his response, she moved to the next bodyguard and did the same.Then, something strange happened. With vacant eyes, both bodyguards stood frozen in place, doing nothing as Harper reached for the door handle and pushed it open.With ease, she entered the room, followed closely by Marc."Harper, you’re here?" A man in his early fifties, dressed in an aristocratic-style suit, turned his head as soon as he heard the door open. His forehead creased.He was Alistair Everstone, Baron of Wyndham. Beside him, four men in their sixties sat in chairs, their eyes fixed on a purple box atop the table. It seemed they had been trying to unrave
The Majestic Heir Chapter 101 - Show Some Respect
"Mr. Shadow?" Harper murmured, barely audible, as she turned her head toward the ninja figure emerging from the darkness in the corner—a figure far from unfamiliar to her. She knew that with the ninja’s advanced camouflage technique, detecting his presence was nearly impossible, even for a level 20 cultivator."B-but..." she muttered again, shifting her gaze toward Marc. "H-how could he possibly know?"Someone at level 10 detecting Shadow’s presence? Impossible!It wasn’t just Harper—everyone in the room displayed the same astonishment and disbelief on their faces. Even the expert jewelers present had no idea when Shadow had arrived. Yet, this young man needed only a few seconds to sense the ninja’s presence."Who exactly is he?" they all wondered, unable to take their eyes off Marc.While the others stood speechless, trying to process what was happening, Marc clenched his fists tightly, his gaze locked onto the ninja. Back at The White Lotus Monastery, his highly sensitive nose had p
The Majestic Heir Chapter 102 - An Eye for an Eye
"I spent money to obtain that box," Alistair pointed towards the table, speaking with a wide grin on his lips and eyes gleaming with cunning and pride, as if he had just won a competition. "So where exactly is my mistake?"The baron had never explicitly ordered Shadow to use excessive force against Tenzin, let alone commanded the ninja to kill him. However, he certainly didn't care what methods the ninja used as long as he got his hands on the box."Lord Everstone, everyone sees you as a man of principle, someone who upholds morality and stays on the righteous path." A mocking smirk played on Marc’s lips as he shifted his gaze to the baron. "But to me, you're nothing more than a selfish man who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants.""Huh, do you think I care about your opinion of me?" Alistair scoffed, shaking his head in clear disdain. "Say whatever nonsense you want. The fact remains, the box is mine now, and anyone who tries to take it must have a death wish.""Lord Evers
The Majestic Heir Chapter 103 - The Death Itself
"Y-you insolent brat!" With a trembling voice, ignoring the pain in his ears, Shadow grabbed Marc's hand with one of his own. All this time, he had been a highly respected figure in this manor, second only to the baron himself. What this young man had done had shattered his reputation, and he would rather die than let that happen.However, as if it were an immovable iron clamp, the young man's hand did not budge in the slightest from his neck, no matter how much strength he exerted. Marc might have appeared relaxed, but his grip was like a colossal vice planted firmly into the earth."Damn it!" Shadow gritted his teeth, frustration and humiliation welling up in his heart. Unwilling to surrender so easily, he used both hands to once again try to pry Marc's hand from his throat."Watch this, I'll crush your filthy hand!" He growled, straining to pull Marc's hand in two different directions, intending to break it.Until now, no one had ever dared to attack h
The Majestic Heir Chapter 104 - An Illusion Technique
"Young man, stop right now, or I'll show you what a baron is capable of!" Alistair shouted in rage and frustration as he watched Shadow's body convulse on the floor like a slaughtered animal. The baron couldn't afford to lose the ninja. Yet, faced with someone as formidable as Marc, he found himself at a loss for ways to intimidate him."Hah, do what you must." Grinning, Marc's grip remained firmly locked around Shadow’s neck, as if his decision was absolute. "That won’t stop me from giving this ninja the punishment he deserves.""You bastard! I said stop!" Alistair bellowed, his eyes desperate, his body trembling with fury. But his words no longer held the slightest intimidation over Marc.At that moment, the young man nearly increased the pressure of his grip again—enough to crush Shadow’s throat and kill him on the spot—when suddenly, a realization struck him."Wait, isn't this guy a member of the Dark Star Sect?" he thoug
The Majestic Heir Chapter 105 - The Owner of the Rare Technique
"Is this the technique that Master once told me about?"Slowly, Shadow began to realize that the technique the young man was using against him was an illusion technique—a powerful mental technique that made him believe he was being attacked, even though in reality, nothing had touched his body.The ninja had never encountered anyone who wielded such a technique before, nor had he ever experienced it firsthand. However, one of the masters from Dark Star had once given him a fairly detailed explanation of this mysterious ability.At that moment, his mind flashed back to something he had heard ten years ago."There aren't many cultivators in the entire Lanshire Kingdom who possess a mind-controlling technique so strong that it makes you believe you are suffering immense pain, almost to the point of death, even though your body remains unscathed," the master had said at the time. "This technique does not attack the body but destroys the mind from within
The Majestic Heir Chapter 106 - I Can't
"Huh, are you trying to extort me?" Marc scoffed, his eyes gleaming with menace. How could he possibly hand over money for something that didn't even belong to the baron?"If you break your promise, you know what the consequences will be, don't you?"To Alistair, Marc's voice suddenly echoed throughout the room, making the baron sink deeper into his fear."No! I would never do such a thing!" Despite the terror gripping his heart, Alistair stood firm in his stance."Don't think you can threaten me, let alone harm me." Trembling, cold sweat pouring down his face and body, Alistair spoke in a quivering voice, his eyes tightly shut. "I am a baron. If you cross the line, the entire royal army will hunt you down wherever you run.""You're threatening me?" Marc smirked, already fed up with the baron's arrogance. "Then let me show you that I can kill you without even lifting a finger."As he said this, Marc merely clenched his fist slightly. At that

"Damn it! What’s happening?"The other soldiers flinched as a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the area from Eagle’s direction.Without waiting for orders, the former soldiers immediately raised their weapons, aiming in the direction of the scream, their stance alert."Eagle, what’s going on? Report."Lion asked through his communicator. But there was no response."Eagle, do you copy?"Still nothing."Wolf, Tiger, go check the situation." Realizing the gravity of the situation, Lion didn’t hesitate to give orders to two of his men."Yes, sir."Moving at a half-run, the two soldiers kept their weapons trained forward as they approached the forest. But before they could even set foot on the forest’s edge, something inexplicably bizarre happened.Both of their bodies were suddenly flung backward, sent flying dozens of meters before crashing to the ground, their chests obliterated."Oh my god! What happened to them?!"The remaining soldiers could only stare in shock, holding their br
Chapter 145 - A Voice from the Darkness
"What kind of nonsense am I hearing?"The boss immediately turned his gaze toward the source of the voice. So did all the other thugs."Speaking like that... does this person have a death wish?"Seeing no one in sight, they were certain the voice had come from a point beyond the trees, not too far from where they stood."Hey, coward! Step out of the darkness and show yourself!"A thug holding a bazooka in his hands shouted. "If you don't, I'll blow you to pieces with this!"Still, there was no response. At this point, they could have assumed that the voice belonged to some prankster who had already fled in fear.However, these thugs dismissed that possibility. They knew they could not leave any witnesses behind.Anyone who had seen what they had just done, anyone who had witnessed their actions, had to be eliminated—without exception."Eagle, go check it out."Moving his index and middle fingers from his eyes toward the forest where the voice had come from, the boss signaled one of hi
Chapter 144 - You Dead!
"Marc, what should we do now?"With clear panic in her eyes and across her entire face, Harper turned her head toward Marc as the SUV in front crashed into a massive tree trunk."Should we help them?"On one hand, she wanted to check on the passengers in the Peugeot. But on the other, seeing a dozen men in combat gear emerge from three black vans that had stopped not far from the SUV, she knew this situation was far too dangerous for them to handle alone."No, forget it! This is too dangerous!"Harper shook her head, horrified by what she was witnessing ahead. The only thing on her mind right now was calling the police.However, it seemed Marc didn't share the same thought."I'm going to check on them," Marc said. "I can't let the Golden Nirvana fall into these people's hands.""No! What are you saying?"As if ignoring the young woman's concern, Marc stopped the Huracan about two hundred meters from the cluster of vehicles ahead."Whatever happens, don’t get out of the car, okay?"

Chapter 143 - Catch You
"W-what?"Harper's face grew tense upon hearing Marc's explanation. That was the only word that escaped her lips. For a moment, aside from trying to quickly process all the information she had just received, she was at a loss for words."How did Marc do it?" Harper wondered, keeping her gaze locked onto the young man beside her. His face was becoming increasingly familiar to her eyes, as if she never wanted to look away again.She couldn't comprehend how this young man possessed such an incredible ability to sniff out danger. He could detect the smallest details that others overlooked with pinpoint accuracy—something that even the best detectives would struggle to achieve."And even in a situation like this, he still thinks about my safety?"When this realization struck Harper, a familiar warmth returned to her heart—the same feeling she had been experiencing over the past two days. A sensation she had never felt for anyone before.At this moment, that feeling only grew stronger."Is
Chapter 142 - Anomaly
One hour earlier."First lot, sir, please."Marc furrowed his brows as he noticed the guard at the gate smiling warmly at him, politely allowing him to drive the Huracán into the most exclusive section of the Auctionarium’s parking lot."He doesn’t mind that I’m in the same car as Harper? And sitting in the same row, no less?"Retrieving the invitation bearing Harper Winslow’s name from the guard’s hand, Marc remained calm on the surface, but inwardly, he questioned it.Nearly everyone in Wyndham knew who Harper was—and who her soon-to-be fiancé was. Especially at such a formal auction event, the staff would surely be well aware of the identities of every guest in attendance.The guard’s exceedingly polite and composed demeanor only made Marc more suspicious."Shouldn't he at least look a little wary?"A more vigilant guard might have immediately confronted Marc for sitting next to Harper. But this one?Marc flashed the guard a brief smile before driving forward to the designated park
Chapter 141 - The Thugs
Harper couldn’t be sure of anything until she heard it directly from Marc. But if that was the reason, why did she feel a pang of sadness in her heart? As if she had disappointed him.But..."What if Marc had planned this from the beginning?" she thought, trying to ease the guilt and burden weighing on her heart.In other words, had Marc intended to take the ring from whoever won the auction from the start?"No! No! That’s impossible!" Unconsciously, Harper shook her head like a madwoman."Marc wouldn’t think like that!"In her eyes, Marc was a good man who would never steal something that didn’t belong to him."Of course, I have to take it," Marc replied flatly, though his expression grew more serious."What?"His answer shocked her to the core. She had never ever expected her thought would be right."Marc, please, don’t do this."With a panicked expression, Harper reached out and grabbed his arm, trying to stop him. "I’ll contact the Auctionarium’s management and see if I can get th
Chapter 140 - Chase After Him!
"We're leaving now, let's go."Marc rose from his seat hastily, gently pulling Harper's hand, though his urgency was evident.After the Golden Nirvana fell into the hands of the mysterious bidder, there was actually one final auction item—meant to conclude the evening—the marquis' broken sword. It was supposed to be the closing event of this monthly auction. However, Marc clearly had no intention of staying any longer to wait for it."Where to?"Harper furrowed her brows, confused about where the young man was taking her. Even so, she simply let herself be led.As they stepped out of the auction building and into the courtyard, Harper’s gaze locked onto a particular spot—a young man standing there, struggling to speak."Mmmm-mmmm," he mumbled, his words indistinct.Around him, several bodyguards looked perplexed. Some scratched their heads, unable to comprehend what the man was trying to say, while others simply stared at him, slowly realizing that something was seriously wrong."My l
Chapter 139 - The Auction Concludes
"Oh, what wonderful luck I have!"Imagining the money in his account increasing, a wide grin spread across the baron’s lips. Not only that, but he even began to dream far beyond."Soon, I might be the richest man in this city! Hahaha!"It wasn’t just the baron—almost everyone in the venue shifted their gaze toward Harper."Will Miss Winslow not place another bid?"That question echoed in their minds. After all, the Winslow family was the symbol of wealth in Wyndham, whereas the mysterious bidder was an unfamiliar man. If the young lady conceded, they would feel the loss just as deeply.It was as if it were a defeat for them and the entire city.Not only them—the auctioneer, who had come to view this as a battle of prestige between Wyndham’s representative and an outsider, hesitated to speak, giving Harper time to consider her next move.Three minutes passed with no sign that the young woman would counter the bid. The crowd held their breath."Five hundred million... huff, that’s truly
Chapter 138 - Surrender
The hall suddenly fell silent for a moment before erupting into chaos."Oh my God! I'm not dreaming, am I? Spending half a billion just for a ring? This is absolutely insane! No, this is beyond unreasonable!"The atmosphere in the hall became even more frenzied as people whispered among themselves. Their heartbeats raced, a mix of excitement and shock overwhelming them.Harper was no exception."I-Is this... really what I just heard?"With disbelief written all over her tense face, her eyes locked onto the far end of the row, where the mysterious man sat calmly in his chair."He spent that much money and still looks completely unfazed?" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Harper's forehead without her realizing it.Unlike the young woman, however, the man wore a broad smile—satisfied yet composed, his expression unwavering."Should I give up?"The question echoed in her mind. Of course, she could bid higher, but still—five hundred million was no small sum. Spending such an amount would
