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
Chapter 98
The smell of old whiskey, cigarette smoke, and lost hope filled the air as James Baron sat in the dim corner of a rundown bar on the far edge of the city. He looked nothing like the well-groomed, sharp-tongued heir of the Baron family. His once ironed shirts were now wrinkled and stale, his jaw unshaven, eyes hollow and restless. His expensive watch had long been pawned off, and he’d been living from motel to motel, like a ghost avoiding the world.He kept his cap low over his eyes, occasionally glancing over his shoulder. The fear that Nathan might find him had become a choking weight on his chest. He had witnessed Nathan kill Kacper and Dr. Frank Fields, men who once walked like gods and it hadn’t taken him an hour to erase them both including their dozens of subordinates. James knew he stood no chance. Running had been his only option.His phone vibrated on the counter. He picked it up hopelessly.“Hello?”“You bastard!” a furious voice roared from the other end. “Is this how you
Chapter 97
The villa’s rooftop carried a quiet that pressed gently on Nathan’s shoulders like a warm shawl. The stars above blinked slowly, as if watching him. He had chosen not to use the backyard that night. That space was filled with too much powerful energy which he was preserving it for his future pills, his creations. Tonight, he needed somewhere quieter, neutral, less charged. Somewhere his energy wouldn't be disrupted or lost.So, he sat cross-legged on the cool tiles of the rooftop, shirtless, bare feet firmly touching the stone. A soft wind whispered across his skin, brushing his damp hair back. His breathing slowed, eyes closed, and the world slipped away as he sank into a deeper layer of thought and presence.His mind, like a scroll, began to unfold.I have to be ready for Orilah, he told himself. Whatever danger lies there, I need to see it before it sees me.His consciousness moved inward, deeper than he had ever gone before. The buzzing in his ears faded, and silence took over. A

Heath dropped his half cigarette and Braxton leaned forward, eyes sharp and calculating as he scanned the dimly lit room. His knuckles grazed the rim of his glass, then tightened as a decision settled in his gut.“I've got a plan,” he said slowly, voice low and steady.Heath arched a brow, turning his head. His patience was already thinning, and Braxton’s calm tone only made the fire inside him burn hotter.“First, we need to run a background check on Nathan,” Braxton continued, his gaze now fixed on Heath’s. “We need to know how stable he is. Really know.”“Stable?” Heath echoed, voice hard and skeptical. He narrowed his eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”Braxton tapped the side of his temple. “I think he might be hiding something. And if he is, we need to uncover it. I’ll use every means I have… but I need time, Heath.”Heath grabbed the tumbler and downed the rest of his whiskey in one angry gulp. The liquid burned down his throat, but he welcomed the sting, it was a distraction
Chapter 95
Thelma’s eyes widened. Her lips parted slightly. Nathan… killed them?She slowly rose to her feet, thoughts racing. “That fool,” she muttered.Joyce blinked, frowning. “She’s not in her right senses, Mother. I’m sure she doesn’t know what she’s saying.”“Go to your room,” Thelma snapped without looking at her. “Now.”Joyce hesitated for a moment, then turned and left, closing the door behind her.Thelma stared down at Natalia, now sleeping soundly, her breath steady. A sly smile played on her lips. She leaned down and whispered, “Tell me, dear… who was there when Nathan killed them?”Natalia mumbled through her sleep, her words slurred. “Oh… that asshole… James. He just watched. Like a real coward…”That was all Thelma needed.She stood straight, eyes gleaming with triumph. With silent steps, she left the room and headed for hers.In her bedroom, Thelma paced the floor like a lioness circling its prey. Her mind replayed Natalia’s words over and over.Nathan killed Kacper and Dr. Fran
