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

After dinner, there was still laughter in the air as Vanessa enjoyed playing with Brian so much; they got along so 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 and settled into his leather armchair, thinking of a plan to deal with Darius.Not too 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 creepy 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 will show him why I am the most feared man in all of Prescott.""We’re going to hit him
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 raised his glass in a silent toast, a wicked grin spreading across his face. “To Darius’s downfall.”They clinked their glasses, savoring the moment.For a few minutes, there was silence as they enjoyed their victory.But Nathan wasn’t done yet. “This is only part one. Now that Darius is tangled in our web, it’s time to move on to the next stage."Then, taking a long, thoughtful sip of his scotch, he leaned in closer, his eyes sharp. “Tomorrow, we make the switch.”James raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Switch?”Nathan nodded. “Here’s how we’re going to do it. When Darius’s men go to get the money in cash..."James leaned forward, eager for the details.“We’ll have our men outside in the garage, long before they arrive,” Nathan explained. “Once they go into the building to get the cash, one of our men will puncture the back tire.”A sly smile crept across James’s face as he caught onto the plan. “So they are going to think their tire went flat?”“Exactly,” Nathan replied with a n

"Remember, stick to the plan,” James said in a low voice. “We’ll execute this flawlessly."Once we make the switch, we’re out before they even realize what’s happened. Darius will be too blinded by his greed to see it coming.” His eyes scanned the faces of his men.Some of them looked anxious while others were excited. “This is our moment, gentlemen. Let's make Lord Cloud proud.”Nathan stepped forward, a glint of mischief in his eyes. “Darius has spent too long building his empire on the backs of others.""It’s time we take it all away from him, and we do it without leaving a trace.” He gestured toward the suitcases. “Once we pull this off, he won’t know what hit him.”The men nodded, adrenaline coursing through their veins.They moved quickly, loading the suitcases into the back of the van parked at the side of the garage.James took a moment to go over every detail of their plan; they were ready to go!“Let’s roll,” he commanded, sliding into the driver’s seat.The engine purred to

Tom stepped closer to Darius’s men, feigning nonchalance as he surveyed the chaos unfolding around the SUV.The atmosphere was filled with so much tension, but Tom kept a smirk on his face that infuriated the men.“Who the hell are you?” one of them snapped, irritation evident in his voice.“Just your friendly neighborhood mechanic,” Tom replied, chuckling lightly. “I mean, look at you guys! You’d be lost without me.” He could see the muscles in their jaws tense and how frustrated they were.“Why don’t you take your jokes somewhere else?” another man shot back, his voice low and menacing. “We don’t have time for this.”Tom shrugged, feigning indifference. “Hey, I’m just saying, if you want to get out of here, you’ll need a good mechanic like me.""Otherwise, you might be stuck here all night!” He then chuckled again.Finally, one of the men relented, glancing nervously at his friends. “Fine! Just get it fixed already!”“Great choice!” Tom exclaimed, clapping his hands together. “Now,

As Tom rose to his feet, he wiped his hand with his overall.Tom had successfully stalled them long enough for Darius's crew to complete their swap.“Alright, guys! That’s it!” Tom exclaimed. “You’re all good to go!”The men exchanged glances, their faces filled with both relief and confusion. “Thanks, uh… mechanic,” one of them said hesitantly, glancing at Tom. “We really appreciate it.”“No problem at all!” Tom replied, giving them a wide grin. “Just doing my job!”They chuckled reluctantly, and one of the men reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash. “Hey, take this,” he said, thrusting it toward Tom. “You earned it.”Tom raised his hands in protest. “Nah, I won’t. I was just helping you people out; you don’t need to pay me.” He flashed a smile as he rejected the cash. “Besides, it’s all in a day’s work for me!”The men hesitated, glancing at each other before one of them shrugged. “Suit yourself,” he said, pocketing the cash with a nod. “Just glad you were here, man.”
