As Nathan turned slightly, a stir broke out among a group of men seated close to the center—faces he recognized from the last medical conference. The first to stand was Robert Gaius, followed closely by several other renowned practitioners and surgeons.

“Nathan!” Robert called, striding up quickly, a bright smile on his face. “It’s pleasant to see you here .”

Another older gentleman, Dr. Li, joined him. “It’s an honor, truly. Welcome, President.”

Their expressions were respectful—some even reverent. The air around them had shifted. That one incident—where Nathan had defeated Frank Fields with skill, both medical and supernatural—had left a deep impression. And he had become the President of the National Medical Association, their awe only grew.

“We just wanted to salute—” Robert began, lowering his head slightly.

But Nathan’s eyes lifted and locked onto them. Calm, cold, and commanding. There was no harshness in them—only quiet authority. It was enough.

They froze.

Ah… right.

    Nathan met Sheila’s gaze. Her eyes narrowed at him, a mix of suspicion and desperation dancing in their depth. He understood that look. She didn’t trust him. And frankly, she shouldn’t. But he didn’t have time to earn her trust.“I don’t know what I am,” he muttered, voice low, steady. Then he pressed his hand gently against Lulu’s chest. His power, hidden and strange, began to rise, slow and silent like a river under moonlight.Sheila stepped closer, her breath uneven. “What are you doing?”“I can try to revive her,” Nathan replied calmly. “I’ve got… some knowledge about these things.”Her eyes flicked over her daughter’s face, pale and still. “You can hear her heartbeat?”“Faint. But yes. Life still lingers in her veins,” he said, not looking away.Sheila blinked. “So what can be done?”He tilted his head slightly, watching her. “You probably can’t channel energy into her now, can you?”She sighed, almost ashamed. “No. My power’s aren't that much for that.”He gave a dry scoff, the

    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
