2025-01-16 05:35:17Nathan was waiting for the bidding price on the necklace, he didn't pay attention to the others cause he couldn't care less about them.
"I take it that's why you're here? You want to take that Amulet?" Elena was looking at Nathan and she could see that he was seriously looking at the stage with much concentration.
Nathan let out a cool sigh, he had a happy look on his face and it was clear as day that he was going to be happy to make sure that nothing was going to keep him from taking it.
"That amulet belonged to our family and it was taken from us wrongly, not only that there are more of the Specter family heirloom they are not even putting out on display but then they are planning to sell it, and they would give it to the highest bidder."
Nathan did not sound happy when he was trying to tell Elena why the Amulet was important.
"So you're telling me that those bozos have something to do with your family's death?" Elena had connected the dots, she knew that he wouldn't be thinking of hurting them if there was not a valid reason.
"Connected? They were part of the people who killed my parents, they tried to kill me too but then, I was saved only in the last minute." Nathan was looking at the stage, his gaze was unwavering.
The announcer brought the amulet out with a smile on his face.
"Now this precious jewel is going for ten million dollars!" He yelled looking around, the crowd was filled with mutters.
"Twelve million!" Someone inside the crowd yelled.
"Fourteen million!" Another yelled.
"Fifteen million!" Yet another yelled, the announcer was filled with different emotions.
"Wow, fifteen million do I have anyone going higher than that?!" He was looking around to see if there was anyone who would go higher than all that.
"Twenty-five million!"
The crowd turned to look at who made the bid, and it was the Nico Family heir, he had a smug look on his face.
"Twenty Five Million!! There is no way anyone would want to go up against one of the city's princes so I take it that there is no way-"
"Thirty-five million!"
Everyone froze when they heard the bid price, they turned to see who was making the bid.
They saw Nathan looking at them with an odd look on his face, he wasn't going to let them take his family's heirloom like that.
"Thirty-five million from the man sitting at the back, I hope he knows that this is not a joke," the announcer was looking at Nathan and the other men in the building.
There was an uproar of laughter, everyone looked at Nathan like he was some kind of poor man with nothing.
The Nico family heir smiled, and he turned to the announcer.
"I love his spirit but then let me humour him, Fifty Million dollars for the amulet!" He yelled, sending the crowd in a frenzy knowing that he was the one who was going home with it.
Nathan smiled when he saw what they were doing, and he was not going to back down.
"I believe they think you're done," Elena was looking at Nathan, she saw the smile on his face and she knew that there was no way for him to back down.
Nathan smiled as he looked at Elena, he gave her the only reply that would be seen as something cold. "What do you think?"
Nathan turned back to the crowd, he took a deep breath. "A hundred and fifty million for that amulet!"
There was silence in the crowd, they were shocked that Nathan was going further with his bid.
"Is he mad?! Can he even pay that amount?!"
"I bet he doesn't even have a quarter of that in his account, he is only doing this to get the attention of everyone here!"
"Who does he think he is going up against the Nico family?!"
The announcer was still shocked that Nathan placed a hundred and fifty million as a bid for the amulet.
"Is there anyone going higher?" The announcer asked looking around.
The Nico family heir raised his hand, he was looking at the announcer and he was waiting for him to say something odd.
"Let the man pay for the amulet if he is all that, I want to see if he is for real or if he thinks that this is a joking ground." The Nico family heir was looking at Nathan, "Or maybe he was saying all that to impress Lady Elena!"
Everyone in the crowd was muttering as well, they knew that there was no way for him to have that amount of money and he was only trying to make sure he would feel amongst them.
Or so they thought.
Nathan smiled, he didn't care about the money he only wanted to take his revenge.
"Where am I making the payment?!" He asked he was looking at them like there was something wrong with all of them.
The crowd was still stunned, they all saw Nathan as a fool for trying to put on the act further.
The Nico family heir smiled when he saw what Nathan was doing. He got up and turned to him properly, he was looking at Nathan.
"If you don't make this payment, you will become my servant and I will make you pay for denting my car! This will show you not to mess with me!" He was looking at Nathan, he didn't want to say anything else.
Nathan smiled when he heard what the man said, "And if I make the payment, I will take your car, your clothes, and every inch of your godamn dignity,"
The crowd gasped when they heard what Nathan said, he was not going to back down.
"This man is a psycho, he is going up against the Nico Family heir and thinks that he will walk out of this place?!"
Everyone was watching, the announcer took the machine meant for payment and headed to Nathan he was looking at him.
"Hey, this is a good time to back down from this madness. It's still early and no one will blame you if you pleaded for his forgiveness!" The man said as he looked at Nathan.
Nathan brought out his card, he took the machine from the announcer and he had an odd look on his face.
"I am not scared of him, besides I do like to have a new car," Nathan placed his card into the machine and waited for the payment to go through but then it was declined.
The buzz sound was loud and it showed that Nathans payment didn't go through.
The Nico family heir began to giggle, "So you're doomed right?! I knew that you didn't have anything but I wanted to humour you!"
Everyone was laughing but the announcer was not seeing payment decline but some words he had never seen on his machine.
"Device can't handle the card's capacity! Bring me the bigger machine!"
The announcer yelled, his voice made everyone in the crowd to be quiet.

Nathan waited for them to bring him the machine that would be able to handle his card. He noticed that everyone in the crowd was quiet and didn't want to say anything. The announcer was still looking at him. They were all wondering one thing, and it was clear from their faces what it was. "Who on earth was this man? And why was he going this far to make sure that he would mess with the Nico family heir like that?" When the machine came to them, the announcer looked at Nathan to see if he would see a sign of him trying to change his mind and do something else but then he could only see the same look on his face and it was only the smile that Nathan wore on. "Here you go sir," The announcer didn't want to butt into something that he would not be able to explain but he was looking at Nathan trying to understand if he would see anything that would hint at what was going to happen next then he didn't see anything.

Anthony knew that Nathan was not joking around and from the looks of things he was going to make sure that he would pay him his part of the bet. "Now, the choice is yours. Pay what you owe me or I will have to make sure that there is no way for you to walk normally again," Nathan threatened Anthony from the looks of things he was not going to be joking with him and he was going to make sure that the part of the bet would be paid.'Who is this man? Doesn't he know that I am Anthony Nico? How on earth is he asking me to make sure I would give up my car and clothes to him.' Anthony for the first time in his life was afraid, he didn't know what he was going to do to Nathan. "You know, we could be civil about this and not act like kids." Anthony wanted to shake things off and make sure that Nathan would calm down. "Shake things off?" Nathan walked closer to Anthony, he showed the clear difference in height staring down at Anthony like an adult would look at a toddler. "You think that t

The crowd was silent. They were still trying to grasp what was happening right in front of them. There was no way they would even want to believe that Nathan was throwing Anthony around like a rag doll, and from the looks of things, he was not going to let him go soon. "I know the people of Caldor think you are invincible, I will make sure you don't walk away here without paying for the nonsense you tried to pull here." Nathan was looking at Anthony, at first he had no intention of making his presence known to anyone but it was clearly going down the drain. With his action, his face had been marked. Anthony was looking at Nathan, he had rage in his heart and there was no way he would be letting go. He managed to look Nathan in the eye as he began to speak. "I don't know how you think you would be able to walk out of this place without me hunting you down. I will see to it that.." "Are you still talking?" Nathan looked at him, he was not in any way happy to hear the man's voice and

"Bloodshed?" Elena stared at Nathan, she knew he was not joking but for him to say that there was going to be bloodshed meant that there was going to be someone who would try to speak against him or even try to get to stop what he was planning to do. "Yes, I know that I have paid for the heirloom, but I also want to find out who sold it to them and how the person obtained it." Nathan sat down; he was not in a jolly mood. He had drawn attention to himself, and he was trying to think of a way to ensure that he would take the heirloom and get the information he needed. "Oh I see, you don't want the Keaton family to play with you and you also want to make sure that they see that you are serious." Elena was trying to understand something but she had already heard what he had in mind. "So I see there is no way for anyone to stop you. I only pray they don't anger that much, but knowing who they are." "I hope they do. I have been looking for an excuse to let loose. Doing General work does

Nathan was looking at the man sitting on the chair, he looked like a normal man but there was no telling what dirty things he had on his mind. "So you're the one that paid the ridiculous amount for that amulet." The man said he looked delighted to see Nathan there in front of him. "It is nice to see you." Nathan didn't know what he wanted to say to him but he was there for the amulet and he was not going to leave until he was sure that he had it. "So to who do I owe the honor?" Nathan was looking at the man, he knew that there was something he would ask him to do. "The name’s James, James Keaton." James introduced himself, he was expecting Nathan to cower in fear when he heard the name Keaton but he got nothing from Nathan. "It's good to see you, Mr. Keaton, I heard you wanted to see me before I got the amulet." Nathan didn't waste time to head to what he came for, he wanted to be on his way faster than possible. "Oh yes, I wanted to see you. It's not every time that you would s

The entire room was turned upside down, the guards were beaten up and they had sent for backup trying to make sure they would kill Nathan before he was going to kill James. “What is this man?! He is not human! Not in any way!” One of the men watching through the surveillance camera said, he was looking at how Nathan was able to move like he was a free being and he was going to make sure that he got his hand on James. James stood there, his soul had left his body when he saw Nathan kill the first three men with his bare hands. He had struck his hand on their neck breaking their spine in an instant. James thought there was no way Nathan would be able to do anything to him but then he saw there was a pure difference between man and beast but Nahan was not in that line. He was above it, he had taken it to another level, and the way he was able to make sure that he would kill the men in front of him whilst avoiding death. “You know, I would have been open to walking out of here if you

It was until the guards showed up with guns, they knew that there was something bad happening and they were going to be having problems if they were there.All the elites who had attended the auction began to leave one by one avoiding the trouble.

The day for the Petoria Gala was drawing close, and not only Nathan and his men were preparing to see what they could do. Cruz was looking for a way to see that they would take them down right there and then. “If I am not making any mistakes, then it would be the best moment to strike him.” He was looking at his plans. It was something that no one would have helped him out with, but then he needed to make sure that there weren't any slip-ups. “So what if this plan fails?” His partner was looking at him, the man’s face always seemed to be blocked out by the light. Cruz looked up, he was looking at the man and a smile was on his face. “There is no way for this not to be the plan I have working for.” Cruz was confident that nothing was going to be wrong with his plan and he would be the one with the last laugh. “I know he is being protected but then there would be a way for me to find a loophole and make sure that I am going to kill him and nothing is going to stop me.” He had the

“I have something to tell you,” Nathan said, letting out a soft sigh. He was looking at Rachel. He knew she was either going to hate him for the rest of her life, or she would be one of the people who would support him through it all. Rachel looked at her husband, and she could tell by the look in his eyes that something was bothering him. “Is anything wrong?” She touched his cheek, looking at him with a worried look. “Tell me, did anything happen? Is anything bothering you?” Nathan smiled. He placed his hand on Rachel’s palm. He knew it was going to be a risky thing to do, but then it would be better to tell her what was going on than to keep it from her. He knew very well that secrets can't be hidden for long. “Nineteen years ago, I was locked in a burning car, left to die.” He began, he was looking at her, and he could see the look in her eyes. “I was in that burning car, no hope for me to walk out of it alive, but then something miraculous happened.” “A girl, somewhere around

I made sure that there is nothing for them to lose, and I would also be doing things to make sure that nothing would take this honour from you.” Stevie was looking at his boss, they were smiling at each other, and it was clear that they were going to be doing something fun. “Good, also please make sure that there is going to be a lot of space for other things, so when the time comes for me to deal with the dirt.” Frank had a smile on his face.

“Nathan, you grew so much. I am so relieved. I thought the Specter bloodline was going to be gone forever, and there was no way for me to even do anything about it. I didn't know what I was going to even do.” Lancer looked at Nathan. Words couldn't explain the joy he felt seeing Nathan. It was like he was relieved. Nathan, who had known that there were some survivors from that horrid incident, never would have thought the old man would be part of them; he was sure that there was no way for any of the family members to even make it out. “I don't know what to say. I was shocked. That day, I thought I was done for. Inside that burning car, I could feel my own life coming to an end, but then the strangest thing happened. I was saved by a total stranger.” Nathan had a smile on his face.

Nathan got to Elena’s company, and he was not sure what had made her call him, but it was clearly something huge. He looked around and saw that there were eyes on him. “I wonder why they are looking at you that way. There has to be something else on their mind. Maybe they are shocked to see someone as handsome as you,” Carl smiled. He looked at Nathan, trying to understand what made the people around them look at Nathan like that. The General didn't even act like he was the one they were looking at; he didn't want to pay any attention to them. He knew there was something off, but he wasn't going to worry himself about it; there had to be something he would do. He walked to Elena’s office, he could still feel their prying eyes on his body as he was trying to make his way into the office. “I’m here…” He said as he walked in, the first person he saw was Steven, whom he was waiting for. But Nathan couldn't recognize Steven, he was looking at Elena and Rachel, a worried look on his fac

“Specter?!” Steven was looking at Rachel with a smile on his face. There was no telling why he had that look on his face, but it was clear that there was something making him smile. “Please tell me, is he in good health? I want to know if he is in good health.” The man was looking at Rachel, the smile still on his face. Elena was even more surprised than anyone else. There was no way she would have expected her customise to act like that, and it was not like he would do anything to harm Rachel, but he was being a bit creepy. “Mr. Lancer, I don't mean to be rude, but if I may ask, what is going on here?” Elena was looking at the man, trying to see if she would get an answer to her question. Steven turned to her, he had a smile on his face. “That necklace belonged to the family I used to serve as a butler, the Specter family. After a Ghastly accident, we thought they were all killed off, but that was not the case. One of them still lives!” Rachel was surprised, she didn't know what

Elena was coaching Rachel; there were things she didn't know how to navigate through, but Elena made sure that she was going to help her every step of the way, making sure that there was nothing going to make them dull. “So you are telling me you are one of the million-dollar companies here in Caldor, but no one in the city would even want to do business with you?” Rachel was looking at Elena, who was bringing out files, and she leaned in and started helping her. “Yup, they see me as someone they can't trust, yet not knowing what I could help them. But let’s leave that, we have customers from all around the world, and they are loyal customers who would do anything to make sure that we keep working together.” Elena brought out a file and smiled. “Like this man, he has been working with me for the past eight years, one of the first people who started working with me.” Elena kept the file on the table, she had a smile on her face, and it was clear to Rachel that the customer was one

“There has to be an explanation for all this. I know it's not the best move, but I invited him here to make sure I would be able to get something out of him.” Frank was looking at Steveie. There was no way any of them would even think of the kind of man they were inviting to the party. It was clear he was someone they were meant to be wary of, but then there was no sign showing he was that bad. “Sir, we are still trying to find out what he is capable of.” Stevie reminded him, he was not going to let his boss back down there. “We just need to make sure that nothing is going to be a bug when we would be trying to get something out of him.” “That is right! We have to make sure that there is nothing to going to be a problem. I believe you made sure to incite a few other people, this gala aside, the fact that we are trying to make sure that man is captured and questioned. We need to see that our esteemed guests would be happy and they won't complain about anything.” Frank was trying to

Nathan had gotten the invite to come to the Petroia’s party. it was not what he expected, but it was a step further in his plans, and he was not going to lose it no matter what. “So, have you made the arrangements for me to head there? Or am I going as a normal person?” He was looking at Carl, he knew that there was no way he would be entering the party like that. “They wanted to speak to you, but they didn't give the reason, and they also made you a VIP guest,” Carl told him he was looking at the file they had sent him. “From all I am seeing here, they want to make sure that you are going to be with the main man; it looks like they really want to have a word with you.” Nathan had a smile on his face, he knew they weren't trying to be friends with him or anything of that nature. He was sure that it was something concerning the whole issue with Lewis and who killed him.He opened the ledger on his table and pulled out a list, which was the names of the families that took the Specte
