THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 219
The grand Prescott Hall was packed with people. Journalists tried to find the best positions with their cameras and microphones. The air buzzed with anticipation; people were intrigued but, at the same time, skeptical. Whispers filled the room as everyone speculated about the announcement from Raymond Locke, a rising figure from the remnants of Darius Royal's disgraced political party. The lights dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated the stage. Raymond Locke appeared, dressed in a sharp navy suit. His demeanor exuded confidence as he stepped to the podium. He raised his hands as he acknowledged the crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen of Prescott,” he began. “Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for our great city and nation.” The crowd quieted, as all their attention was focused on him. The cameras of the reporters fluttered incessantly as they tried to capture every moment. “For years,” Locke continued, “we have witnessed the rise of a single figure—Nathan Cloud—who has

Nathan tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of his desk. "Well... What do you think of your new opponent?" Bianca asked. "Honestly... I'm not bothered," Nathan said, his voice calm, almost nonchalant. "Raymond Locke is nothing more than another name on the long list of those who think they can defeat me." Bianca arched an eyebrow. “He’s confident, Nathan. I don't think we should take him lightly. Remember, he might be one of Darius’s crew." Nathan turned his chair slightly, his piercing gaze locking onto hers. “Confidence doesn’t win battles, Bianca. And if he turns out to be like Darius, he will end up like him." "Besides, he is forgetting something." Bianca tilted her head. “And what’s that?” Even though she had an idea of what Nathan wanted to say, she wanted to hear him say it. Nathan rose from his chair, his imposing frame commanding the room. He walked toward the window, his hands clasped behind his back as he looked out over the city below. “That I am the

As Nathan stood by the window, cheers continued to echo from every corner, and the streets were filled with people waving banners and chanting his name. The victory of Lord Cloud was felt in all parts of Prescott. The phone on his desk buzzed incessantly, vibrating against the wood. Congratulatory messages poured in—politicians, business leaders, and ordinary citizens all reaching out to acknowledge his victory. Some were allies; some were his enemies who now wanted to make sure they were on his side. But Nathan wasn’t ready to answer yet. He needed this quiet moment of reflection. Suddenly, his phone lit up with a video call request from his wife. Her name and photo appeared on the screen, and for the first time that evening, a faint smile tugged at the corner of Nathan’s lips. He swiped to answer. The screen came alive with Vanessa’s beaming face. She was in their home with Brian, and she could not contain her joy. “HONEY!” she screamed, her voice cutting through t

Nathan returned home that evening, with Grace also accompanying him. The ride home had been quiet. As they pulled up to the house, he was greeted by a warm glow emanating from the windows. The door swung open before he even had a chance to step inside. Brian ran out, his little feet pounding against the driveway. “Mom!” he shouted, his voice brimming with excitement. Then his eyes found Nathan. “My hero!” Nathan bent down, scooping Brian into his arms, his heart swelling as the boy wrapped his arms tightly around his neck. “You did it! You’re the president!” Vanessa appeared in the doorway, her face lit with pride and joy. She stepped out to meet them, her gaze locking with Nathan’s. “Welcome home, Mr. President,” she teased him in a playful tone. Nathan chuckled, his arm wrapping around her waist as Brian clung to his other shoulder. “You look happy, First Lady,” he murmured, noting the sparkle in her eyes. “And you look exhausted, Mr. President,” she replied, gently brush

“Tonight, we gather not only to celebrate the victory of Nathan Cloud as the President of Prescott, but we are also going to make history today.” Nathan’s brow furrowed slightly in confusion, his gaze flicking to Isabella and Rajesh, who stood beside Alexander with knowing smiles. Vanessa caught his eye from across the room, her expression glowing with pride. She knew something he didn’t. Alexander continued, his tone growing more solemn. “For years, the Global Triad has been the pillar of stability and economic cooperation." "It is a coalition that commands respect from all corners of the world." "Tonight, we are here to announce a new era. An era led by a man who has not only transformed his nation but has also been a quiet force behind many of the Triad’s successes.” Nathan’s eyes widened slightly. Was Alexander talking about him? “Nathan Cloud,” Alexander said, turning to face him directly, “your leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment to global progress have n

His deep, commanding voice carried an unexpected kindness. “I hope I’m not intruding.” Grace swallowed hard, her throat suddenly dry. “Not at all, Mr. President,” she managed, her voice steadier than she felt. “It’s an honor to meet you.” Alexander smiled, his sharp eyes scanning her from head to toe. “The honor is mine. I’ve heard quite a bit about you.” Grace blinked, taken aback. “Me?” she asked, her voice rising slightly in surprise. President Alexander had heard about Grace? She tried her best to maintain her composure, but she could not hide the fact that she was surprised. He nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “Yes, you. Lord Cloud speaks highly of you, and your story is indeed remarkable.” Grace felt the heat rise to her cheeks. President Alexander had just complimented her! She wanted to scream off the roof, but she held herself in place. “Thank you,” she said softly. “But I’ve only ever done what I needed to survive and support my f
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 225
As the grand celebration began to come to an end, the echoes of laughter and clinking glasses filled the room. Nathan stood near the center, shaking hands and exchanging final words with the members of the Global Triad, whose presence lent even greater significance to the evening. Alexander was among the last to bid farewell, his handshake firm as he looked Nathan in the eye. “Congratulations once again, Lord Cloud,” he said. “I wish you the very best in your new role as the President of Prescott.” “Thank you, Alexander,” Nathan replied with a small smile. As Alexander departed, Isabella and Rajesh joined Nathan, their expressions warm with pride. “It was such a pleasure to get her here once more,” Isabella said. Rajesh added, “I know you will have many battles ahead, Lord Cloud, but you are the strongest leader I know, and I know that you will lead Prescott to success.” Nathan shook their hands in gratitude before they, too, bid their goodbyes, leaving him with his fami

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

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

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
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.
