Chapter 104
Nathan shook his head slowly, masking the fire of power rekindling deep within him. He let out a faint sigh and said, with a softer voice, “It’s just disappointing… that a beautiful woman like you would stoop to cheap tricks just because she’s desperate to be laid.”Lulu’s face hardened.The glow in her eyes dimmed, but she straightened up, brushing invisible dust off her robe. Her lips curled into a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “Desperate to be laid?” she repeated with a quiet laugh. “No, Nathan. I’m desperate to be claimed.”She started pacing, her bare feet silent against the polished floor. Her fingers twisted together as her voice grew sharp, then soft, like she was battling herself with every word.“You don’t know what it’s like,” she said, halting mid-step. “To live over two decades in the first part of a cursed village. Alone. Guarding something older than time itself. Watching men pass by, all of them greedy... thirsty... none of them genuine. They want the shape of
Chapter 102
A strange pulse vibrated in Nathan's ears, low and deep like thunder trapped in a tunnel. Then the walls melted into colorless waves. He tried to blink it away but his limbs were suddenly heavy, his strength draining fast.Suddenly disappearing to the other end of the room, Lulu floated inches above the ground. Her long hair swirled around her shoulders like it had a will of its own. Her eyes glowed purple, wild and full of mischief. With a lazy flick of her fingers, she sent a spray of sparkling purple mist toward him. It hit him square in the chest.Nathan convulsed.Electric shocks danced through his nerves. He groaned, arching slightly, clenching his jaw so tightly his teeth nearly cracked. His hands reached for anything he could hold. The quilt beneath him bunched in his fists as his back lifted off the bed. His veins bulged at his neck and arms, blue and angry.And yet, she smiled. “Say you’ll be mine, Nathan,” her voice floated to him, soft and laced with seduction. “Just say i
Chapter 102
The wind whispered through the narrow path, leaves curling at Nathan’s feet like a silent warning. The strange woman in the thin black robe stood tall in front of him, her smile stretching wider when his eyes narrowed.“Actually…” she said, voice low and teasing, “I’m someone who has been waiting for her prince charming.”Nathan’s expression didn’t change. He kept his voice flat. “Well, keep waiting for him.”He shifted slightly, about to step past her, but she moved just as fast, graceful, deliberate, almost blocking his path without force. There was something oddly charming about her confidence, but Nathan’s gut warned him otherwise.“You’re a stranger,” she said, her eyes running slowly over him, “and you’ve got guts too. So… ideal.”Her gaze lingered. She stepped closer, her bare feet brushing the dusty ground. With slow intent, she placed her fingers gently on his arm, trailing upward toward his face. Her touch was cool and slow, like someone tracing the rim of a glass.“Your ski
Chapter 101
Mara’s mother folded her arms, lips tight with suspicion as she stared at the glowing pill in Nathan’s palm. “So we’re supposed to believe that a strange young man appeared from nowhere with some glowing miracle pill, and we should just give it to my son? This isn’t a fairy tale.”Nathan said nothing.Her husband turned to her, voice pleading. “Please. We’ve come this far. Let him try. If there’s a chance Cliff can live, we can’t throw it away because of doubt.”She huffed but said nothing more. Her silence was enough.Nathan moved toward Cliff, gently lifting his head. He placed the Flameheart Elixir in Cliff’s mouth and helped him swallow with a few drops of water. Everyone watched in tense silence. The air around them thickened.One minute passed. Then another.Nothing.The mother’s face twisted. “Why isn’t he waking up?” Her voice cracked. “What kind of doctor are you? Did your pill fail?”Nathan remained calm, though his eyes narrowed in a calculating manner. He stared at Cliff,
Chapter 100
Cliff’s body twitched violently, his breaths growing shorter as his limbs stiffened. Nathan crouched beside him, eyes tracing the spreading discoloration in his hand. The veins there had turned a sickly purple. He rose slowly.“He’s poisoned,” Nathan said, his voice calm but firm. “And it’s spreading.”Her father’s brows creased, astonished. “How do you know that?”Before Nathan could respond, Mara stepped forward, her voice trembling. “You’re right… My brother’s been suffering from an unknown poison for years. We’ve tried everything.”Nathan nodded, gaze still on Cliff. “It’s not just lingering anymore. It’s moving fast. His organs will begin to shut down soon.”Mara’s voice cracked as she asked, “Can you do something? Anything?”Before he could answer, her mother stepped between them.“Why ask him?” she snapped. “He can’t do anything. Call the village doctor. He’s the one who has kept Cliff alive till now.”Nathan looked at her, disappointment flashing in his eyes. But he didn’t arg
Chapter 99
Nathan took a step closer, and stood still, his body calm but charged like a storm waiting to strike. The gang didn’t take his silence seriously.“Who’s this guy supposed to be?” one of them scoffed, tilting his head. “Her brother?”Another chuckled and elbowed the one holding the girl. “Hey, is he your brother?”The girl, her lips quivering, shook her head. “No… I don’t know him.”“Then get lost,” one of them said to Nathan, waving him off like a fly. “This is none of your business.”Nathan’s voice was low but deadly. “Let her go. I won’t warn you again.”The man holding the girl released her arm, smirking as if playing along. But the moment she tried to run, he yanked her back violently by the hair.She cried out in pain. “Ah—!”The gang burst into laughter.“Where do you think you’re going, sweetheart?” the leader mocked, his fingers still tangled in her hair. “We weren’t done with you yet.”Nathan’s fists clenched at his sides.Then the leader narrowed his eyes. “Wait… You’re not
