After leaving the restaurant, Nathan returned home, his body tense but his mind calm. The acupuncture technique he had used on Frank earlier had drained a significant amount of his energy. Even though he had managed to suppress Frank during the medical conference, he knew that his opponent wouldn’t stay down for long. He needed to replenish his strength—quickly.

Stepping inside his villa, he exhaled deeply, rolling his shoulders to relieve the lingering stiffness in his muscles. He needed to cultivate. But this time, the usual space inside the house at the rooftop wouldn’t suffice. He needed a better place so he started looking around for it. He didn't want any stagnation in his progress.

Nathan moved toward the balcony, looking out at the vast land surrounding his property. A cool breeze rustled through the trees, and his sharp eyes scanned the terrain. As he turned to leave, a faint, almost imperceptible pull caught his attention. It was subtle but distinct, like a whisper calling

    Sheila tapped her foot impatiently, her crimson cloak sweeping the air behind her. “So?” she asked Nathan. “What will your decision be?”Lulu took a slow step forward, her lips curving into a soft smile. “He definitely won’t want to upset you, Mother. It’s obvious… you won’t spare him.”Nathan gave a dry chuckle, lifting his tired gaze to meet Sheila’s. “I’m not marrying her,” he said bluntly. “I just want to be free. That’s all.”Sheila’s eyes hardened. “Then I’ll torture you.” Her voice was low and calm, but it carried the weight of thunder. “Lulu, step outside. This is not for your eyes.”Lulu hesitated, eyes darting between her mother and Nathan. “Mother…”“Now.”With a reluctant sigh, Lulu obeyed, stepping out and closing the door gently behind her.Sheila turned fully to Nathan. “My daughter has buried her emotions for too long. All these years, she was a servant to duty, to the curse, to me. But no more.” She took a slow step forward. “She wants you.”“You can’t force love,” N

    Nathan moved quickly toward the door, desperation thick in his chest. His breath fogged in the charged air. He reached out to the open door.Thud.He jerked back, his palm burning from the invisible force he had struck. A sharp sting ran down his arm.His eyes narrowed and he recalled she had sealed it.Turning slowly, he looked over his shoulder at Lulu.She lay sprawled on the cold floor, her hand pressed tight against her stomach. Sweat dotted her brow, her breath shaky. The strength in her eyes was fading, but her defiance hadn’t.“Lulu,” he called out, voice low but steady, “break the seal.”She looked up weakly and managed a bitter chuckle. “Why would I?”“I’m giving you a choice. Just undo it.”She tilted her head slightly. “Then what? You’ll walk out and forget all this?”Nathan took a deep breath. “I won’t forget. But I need to go.”She turned her head away, lips trembling. “Then stay trapped.”Silence fell. Nathan clenched his fists and moved to the center of the door again.

    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

    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 it

    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

    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,
