Vanessa smirked as she took another sip of her wine. "You know, darling, I couldn’t help but notice how funny you looked in the cleaner's uniform," Vanessa smirked teasingly.Nathan paused mid-chew, raising an eyebrow at her teasing tone. "Oh, really?" he responded with raised eyebrows, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.Vanessa’s grin widened as she leaned back in her chair, enjoying the moment. "Oh, yes. I almost didn’t recognize you... The Almighty Lord Cloud holding a mop in his hands? Who would believe that?"Vanessa's eyes widened with mischief. "You looked absolutely ridiculous. All those executives walking past you with their heads held high, completely unaware that their boss was scrubbing floors right under their noses. I couldn’t stop laughing the entire drive home."Nathan leaned back, crossing his arms. "That was the point, wasn’t it? I had to blend in."Vanessa tilted her head, pretending to be deep in thought. "True. But I must say, seeing you in that clea
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 143
Mr. Hastings grumbled, "We've moved millions already without anyone noticing, but we can’t get greedy. The next phase has to be clean. The last thing we need is for someone upstairs to get suspicious."Nathan’s fists clenched. Millions. The executives were stealing from Cloud Corporation!They were siphoning off funds and hiding them in secret accounts. He had suspected minor corruption in the company, but this was something far worse, a large scale conspiracy to run his empire to the ground.“We’ve got everything lined up,” Hastings continued. “The shell companies are in place. As long as nobody gets too curious, we’ll be sitting pretty by the end of the quarter. "And if anyone does get curious, we’ve got ways of... handling that.”A third voice, Diego, the head of security, laughed darkly. “Don’t worry. If anyone pokes around, I’ll make sure they’re dealt with. No questions asked.”Nathan’s mind raced as he could kt believe what hearing. His heart pounded louder in his ears, bu
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 144
Nathan remained calm, even though he could feel the tension rising in the room. “I wasn’t listening,” he insisted.“I didn’t hear anything... I’m just trying to do my job here.”Hastings’ eyes flashed with fury at the mention of shell companies. He stepped forward, his face inches from Nathan’s. “You’re lying.”Nathan knew he was running out of time. He had to find a way to make these people believe him.“If you didn’t hear anything,” Hastings said slowly, his voice low and menacing, “then you won’t mind if we take you to Diego’s office for a little... chat.”Diego cracked his knuckles again, grinning darkly as he stepped forward. “Just a little conversation. It’ll be fun.”Nathan’s heart raced. “I don’t know what you think I heard,” Nathan said, taking a deep breath, “but I assure you, I heard nothing.”Hastings’ eyes narrowed. “Used against us?” he echoed, his voice dangerously low. “So, you did hear something.”Nathan cursed inwardly. He had said too much.Diego's grin widened. “Lo

Nathan turned slowly, his eyes still lowered in deference, but inside, his mind raced. What now? He had nearly escaped, but Edward wasn’t about to let him go that easily. Hastings and Sylvester exchanged amused glances, sensing that something more dramatic was about to unfold."Come here," Edward said, his voice was so cool but it was laced with poison. "Pour me a drink."Nathan let out a small sigh of relief. Hw called him back for just a drink?In his mind he felt somehow that he was about to pour a drink for someone that should be bowing to him. He decided to pour him a drink, it was a drink after all. Very soon, Edward will be the one begging for a drink behind bars. He walked toward the small bar cart at the side of the room, feeling the weight of everyone’s gaze on his back. Everyone watched as he reached out for the bottle of whiskey, the amber liquid gleaming in the dim light.The room was silent, the only sound the soft clink of glass as Nathan uncorked the bottle and po
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 146
Nathan’s blood ran cold, but he remained calm.He glanced at the shattered glass at his feet and then slowly raised his gaze back to Edward. His expression hardened, his stance unmoving."I won’t do that," Nathan said boldly. "Why would you expect me to kneel on the broken glass?"Edward’s malicious smile faded, and his eyes began blazing in fury. The executives shifted uncomfortably, sensing that things were about to escalate."How dare you?" Edward barked at Nathan. "How dare you defy me? Here? In front of everyone?"Nathan met his gaze, unflinching. "Yes."Edward took a step closer, his fists clenched at his sides. "Can you imagine? An ordinary janitor dares to refuse me? Do you really think you have a choice?"Nathan didn’t waver. "I’m not kneeling."Hastings let out a sharp laugh, his amusement barely contained. "The audacity! He actually thinks he can challenge you… Challenge us." He leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips.Deigo, who had been pacing like a caged a
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 147
Diego groaned loudly, his voice trembling with pain as he rolled on the floor, trying to free himself from the shards of glass making it's way deeper into his skin.His hands shook as he attempted to push himself up, but he cried out even louder as every movement only sent fresh waves of agony coursing through him.Blood dripped from his arms and onto the polished floor and flowed to where Nathan was standing.His face contorted in anguish, and soon the mighty head of security was reduced to sobbing like a newborn baby and gasping for breath.Edward’s face twisted in disgust as he watched Diego struggle. "Useless! So useless!" he spat, his voice dripping with contempt. "You’re supposed to be the head of security, and you can’t even handle a **janitor**? Shame on you!"Diego barely managed to lift his head, his face pale with pain and humiliation. "I… I—""Shut up!" Edward snapped, cutting him off. He took a deep breath, visibly shaking with fury, and then turned his icy gaze toward Na

The other executives exchanged glances. Finally this audacious cleaner will be taught a huge lesson. Nathan had crossed the line and Edward was determined to make an example of him.Nathan remained still, unmoved by Edward call. He set the glass down gently on the bar, the faint clink of the glass echoed through the room.Not too long after Edward made the call, the door to the room swung open, revealing a group of towering security men clad in black uniforms, they had a very cold and deadly expression. These were the kind of men who could break bones with ease. The executives, especially Edward, wore smug grins. These enforcers would definitely beat Nathan till his last breath. "Finally," Edward sneered, waving his hand impatiently. "Get in here and beat this fool until he’s begging for mercy. I want him on his knees. Now!"But something strange happened. The security men didn’t move. They stood at the entrance, their expressions unreadable, their eyes fixed on Nathan. A heavy

Bianca’s cold eyes flicked from Edward to the rest of the executives, and there was no mercy in her expression. She took a step closer to Edward, who remained kneeling and trembling before her.“I’m not going to let this slide, Edward,” Bianca said, her voice colder than ever.“You dared to threaten not only a fellow employee but someone who is far more important than you could ever imagine. And for that, you will be severely punished."Edward’s heart pounded in his chest, his clothes now cold with sweat.Who was this cleaner that he should not have offended?He glanced back at Nathan, who did not even spare him any sympathy. Then he brought his gaze back to Bianca.“Please…” he whimpered like a child.His mouth was still bleeding, and the sharp pain from Bianca’s slap had not even gone away.But all of that was nothing compared to the terror flooding his veins now.Bianca's gaze moved to the security men standing at attention by the door.“Cut off one of his fingers,” she said in a

CHAPTER 305
Nathan’s consciousness began to return as a sharp intake of breath filled his lungs. His chest rose violently, his body convulsing like he’d been struck by lightning. Then came the surge which felt like electricity, the force that seemed to awaken every cell in him. Power unlike anything he had ever felt began to course through his veins. It wasn’t just adrenaline; it was something supernatural. Nathan’s fingers twitched, curling into the dirt beneath him. Despite his wounds he felt zero pain. The darkened sky rumbled, thunder cracked, and the atmosphere was heavy as if the heavens themselves were about to witness what was about to happen. Nathan opened his eyes. They gleamed with an intensity they hadn’t held beforebefore, he staggered to his feet, and his fingers curled into a fist. The branch he had clung to was now in pieces beneath him, Nathanglanced upward, and his jaws tightened. Sebastian!!! Nathan didn’t need to think. He planted his foot against the rock wa
CHAPTER 304
Nathan clung desperately onto the branch, he was not just holding onto the branch, he was holding unto it for his dear life, one snap and everything wound be over. Historic shoulders were seriously bleeding and he did not know how much longer he could hold on. His body trembled under the weight of exhaustion and pain, but in his mind he refused to surrender. Not like this. Not today. The branch creaked remindinf him that time was running out. Nathan closed his eyes and he gritted his teeth as he tired to summon the strength to pull himself up. He could hear Sebastian’s cruel laughter above as he mocked him. The so called Almighty Lord Cloud was finally taken down by his own half brother. "Tell your son that his father was a coward..." Nathan’s eyes burned red with determination but his body was too weak. The branch snapped with a sudden, deafening crack, and Nathan fell once again into the abyss. His body slammed against the rocks as he tumbled down the cliff. Eac
CHAPTER 303
Nathan’s body ached, but he forced himself to stand up.There was so much defiance burning in his eyes.Blood trickled down his face, and his shoulder throbbed where Sebastian had driven the lion's tooth.He tired to catch his breath but he knew one thing for sure, he was not going to fall. Sebastian, however, remained unmoved, he stood over Nathan with a grin on his bloodied face. "You really do not know when to quit, do you?" Sebastian taunted him. Nathan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. "I will never quit," he said in a hoarse voice. "Not until I’ve destroyed you." Sebastian chuckled darkly, he was amused by Nathan's arrogance. "Destroy me?" he repeated mockinghim. "You can’t even stand properly, Lord Cloud." Once again he lunged forward with lightning speed, his fists striking Nathan. Nathan barely managed to block the first blow, but the second punch hit his jaw, and it sent him staggering backward. Sebastian didn’t relent. He clo
CHAPTER 302
The morning sum was rising and everywhere was still except for the crackle of flames from the wrecked vehicles.The sky was filled with smoke and Sabastian glared at Nathan with blood trickling down the side of his face. Yet even in that state, his lips curled into a mocking smile as Nathan finally came to a stop few feet away.Nathan's gun raised and aimed directly at Sebastian's forehead."You should be mourning, Nathan," Sebastian sneered.He knew that his men were able to disarm the bomb at the studium but he saw Vanessa's car go up in flames there was no way she could have survived that."Your wife’s gone. Your child is dead. And here you are, trying to play hero."Nathan's jaw clenched at the mention of his child.He took a step closer, the gun steady in his hand, his eyes blazing with fury. "Vanessa survived," he said. "But my child didn’t. And for that, you will pay—with your life."Sebastian laughed, a very dry and one. "So Vanessa didn't die?"He then paused for a moment."I
CHAPTER 301
Nathan sat in the hospital waiting room, his head buried in his hands. His shirt was still sOaked with his wife's blood, and his heart pounding in his chest. Minutes kind of felt like hours, and every time he heard footsteps, Nathan’s head shot upas he was hoping for answers. Finally, a tall doctor approached him, he had a calm expression but it felt like he was about to set something bad. Nathan stood immediately, his legs unsteady beneath him. “Doctor,” he began, his voice cracking, “how is she? Is she—” “She’s stable,” the doctor said gently. “Your wife is a fighter, Mr. President. She’s going to be okay.” Nathan exhaled deeply, his body sagging with relief. It felt as if a knit in his chest was lossened. “Thank God,” he whispered. His trembling hands moved to his face and he wiped the sweat off his foehead. But the doctor’s expression didn’t change, and Nathan’s heart sank again. “There’s… something else you need to know, ” the doctor said. “What is i
CHAPTER 300
Nathan’s car moved closer to Vanessa's car as the seconds ticked by. His driver kept the pace steady, but Nathan leaned halfway out of the window. The two cars moved side by side, they wereclose enough for Nathan to see the tears on her cheeks, her lips were quivering as she held the wheel.“Vanessa!” he called, his voice thick with desperation. “Stay with me! Listen to me!” She shook her head violently, as she continued to sob. “I can’t,” she mouthed again, her voice was drowned by the sound of the engines. Nathan’s heart twisted painfully. The countdown in his mind was growing louder, and Sebastian’s mocking voice still lingered like poison. Time was running ou, Vanessa has to get out of the car before it explodes. “Vanessa,” he called out against."You have to let go. On the count of three, I want you to jump.” Her eyes widened, fear spilling over into fresh tears. She shook her head, mouthing, No, I can’t. I can’t do it.“Yes, you can!” he said fiercely. “You have to! T
CHAPTER 299
Nathan’s car sped through the streets of Prescott, he was sweating profusely as his mind was racing. The clock was ticking, and Sebastian’s voice echoed in his ears “Choose wisely.”His phone buzzed, jolting him from his thoughts. It was his security chief. “Sir,” the man said urgently, “we’ve manage to track Vanessa’s car. She’s on the move.” Nathan’s chest tightened. “On the move? She wasn’t supposed to move. Send me the GPS coordinates now!” “Understood, sir. Sending them your way.” Moments later, his phone pinged with the location. His eyes scanned the map, and his heart sank. The car was heading toward a major intersection, not far, but not close enough. Nathan barked orders into the intercom. “Get eyes on that car now! I need a visual. And keep the stadium search going. Do not stop until that bomb is found.” “Yes, Mr. President,” he said swiftly. Nathan gripped the steering as he pushed the car to it's limit. His mind replayed Sebastian’s ultimatum over and over.
