THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 180
Darius turned to grin at the commissioner.The commissioner was a lot of help to him, even though he did not want to accept it.Without him, they would be on their way to the station for several rounds of questioning.The commissioner didn’t respond to his annoying smile.He did not like Darius for his arrogance, and the way he smiled even in the worst situations pissed him off.But he was a very useful tool for doing his dirty work; Darius was sneaky and almost impossible to catch.Still, he hated that he had to save him every now and then.The car eventually pulled up in front of the commissioner’s large, secluded house on the outskirts of the city. The officers exited first, dragging Darius out with them. He stumbled, barely able to stay on his feet, but, as expected, he was still holding on to his arrogance.Inside the house, the commissioner led him into his study and shut the door.He turned to Darius, “Sit,” he ordered, nodding to a nearby chair.Darius eased himself down, win

She blinked, utterly stunned, her mouth opening slightly in shock. She had never expected him to offer such a gesture, let alone command it. “Nathan…I…I don’t know what to say. That’s…that’s too much. We can’t just…move in…”Nathan’s gaze hardened, his tone brooking no argument. “Grace, look at the way Darius treated you in front of everyone. Nobody would dare lay a hand on you or Brian if you’re under my roof.”Grace was filled with so much gratitude. She nodded slowly, her voice shaky. “Thank you…Nathan. I can’t tell you what this means to me.”Nathan’s gaze softened again, and he reached out, gently resting a hand on her shoulder. Grace’s face brightened, and she wiped away her tears. “My baby is going to be so happy when he wakes up.”Nathan’s jaw tightened as he recalled everything that had led them here—the money Grace had lost to Darius, who preyed on the innocent. Darius may think he has won, but this was far from over. He was going to make Darius kneel and beg for mercy very

Nathan chuckled, bending down to lift Brian into his arms. “No, Brian,” he said gently. “You’re the real hero here, staying strong for your mom.""You'll grow up to be a very strong man, Brian."Brian’s eyes were filled with admiration. “Just like you!”Nathan chuckled, his expression softening, moved by the boy’s gratitude. He set Brian down, ruffling his hair. “Well, we’re family now. And family always looks out for each other, right?”Grace approached, a small, grateful smile on her lips. “Nathan…thank you,” she whispered. “For everything.”Nathan met her gaze, nodding in understanding. “You don’t have to thank me, Grace. This is your home now, for as long as you want it to be.” He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "No one will ever threaten you or Brian again."Grace blinked back tears. She had cried a lot over the past few days, yet somehow, she still had more tears in her eyes. But she held them back, knowing her struggles were over.Brian tugged at Nathan’s sleeve, look

After dinner, there was still laughter in the air as Vanessa enjoyed playing with Brian so much; they got along easily, and Brian liked her from the moment he saw her.Vanessa even prepared his favorite dish, which made him love her even more.Nathan made his way down to his private study. He settled into his leather armchair, thinking of a plan to deal with Darius.Not long after, the door opened, and James stepped inside, his eyes sharp and focused.Nathan nodded, gesturing for him to sit.“Darius has played with fire," Nathan began in a cold tone."...scamming people like Grace, stealing everything from families who had nothing... It’s time he felt the consequences of his greed.”James leaned forward as he noticed a smile creeping onto Nathan's lips. “I’m assuming you have a plan?”Nathan nodded, his gaze steely. “Darius thinks he’s untouchable because of his connections, but I’ll show him why I am the most feared man in all of Prescott.""We’re going to hit him where it hurts most
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 184
Nathan watched closely as James skillfully planted the seeds of greed.The calculated charm, the flattery—it was working.A silence stretched on the line, and Nathan could imagine Darius weighing his options.Finally, Darius spoke up, his voice filled with skepticism, but he could not deny he was very tempted.“If this is some kind of trick, Carter, you’ll regret it. I don’t take kindly to people wasting my time, and you’ll pay with your life if you think you can toy with me.”James didn’t flinch and spoke even more confidently. “I understand, Mr. Darius. I’m also putting my own money on the line here.""Let’s meet in person, at a place of your choosing, so I can prove to you that I’m genuine.""I know a man of your caliber doesn’t make deals lightly. I'm prepared to show you how serious I am.”Darius considered this, then spoke slowly. “Fine. Tomorrow. The Black Orchid, 3 p.m. Come alone. And you’d better bring the money.”“Of course,” James replied smoothly. “I wouldn’t dream of was

THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 186
The next morning, outside, several of Nathan's most trusted men were busy loading up three hundred thousand dollars in cash—the money they were going to use to trap Darius. Each stack of bills was carefully stowed into sleek black suitcases, filling the back seat of the luxury car.Nathan stood by the car, watching his men. He knew this was a high-stakes game, and he was determined to win. Today, their plan would be set in motion. They would pull Darius into their web, and by the time he realized it, there would be no escape.James walked over, wearing a perfectly tailored suit that gave him the air of someone powerful, someone Darius would never dare to question.Nathan gave him a long look, then nodded. "You look the part," he said with a faint smirk. “Make sure you keep up that confidence. Darius will be watching closely for any sign of weakness.”James adjusted his cufflinks, determination in his eyes. “I know how to play his game, don’t worry.""I’ll show him exactly what he wa

James nodded, suppressing a smirk. “Consider it a down payment.”Darius’s grin widened, his eyes practically glowing with greed. “I think you and I are going to make a lot of money together, Carter.”James looked at the rest of Nathan's men, then made a subtle hand gesture, and they knew what to do immediately.Two of the men went back to the car and brought the remaining suitcases containing the money.They set the cases down, unzipping them one by one, revealing stacks upon stacks of cash.The sight was enough to make Darius’s eyes widen, and he was almost drooling.He reached forward, his fingers brushing the crisp edges of the bills, clearly savoring the moment.James leaned in, his voice a low whisper. “This is just the beginning, Darius. I have even more if you’re serious about this partnership.”Darius looked at him, his face flushed with excitement. “Serious? After this, I’d be a fool to say no.""I can match this sum by tomorrow, one hundred thousand, cash in hand. I’ll have

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

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.

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

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

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.
