THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 287
The flight back to Prescott was silent except for the hum of the helicopter blades. Soon enough they were within the walls of Prescott. Nathan sat motionless in his seat while the ministers seated around him exchanged glances but dared not speak. They had seen a side of Nathan today that left them uneasy. As the helicopter descended onto the private helipad atop the Presidential Estate, Nathan finally looked outside the window. The helicopter landed end with a soft thud, and the engines powered down. Nathan rose from his chair and without and ne he exited the helicopter without saying anything. His ministers hesitated before following, the weight of the meeting still heavy on their shoulders. At the foot of the staircase leading to the estate’s main entrance, Vanessa was waiting. The soft glow of the estate’s lights caught the worry etched into her face. Her arms were folded across her chest, she had been waiting, as she always did when Nathan returned from a meeting
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 287
The following morning, the sun rose over Prescott, and in the cabinet chamber, a murmur of voices filled the room as ministers gathered; their faces were pale, especially the ministers who went with Nathan to Vorthax. Gareth, who was still visibly shaken, stood in a small circle with two of the other ministers who had accompanied Nathan to Vorthax. His voice trembled slightly as he recounted the horrifying experience. “Sabastian is… unlike anyone I’ve ever encountered,” Gareth said, his hands gripping the edge of the table. “The man commands fear simply by existing. His presence is.... overwhelming, suffocating."He came up with any words he could use to describe it but it did not feel they were enough. And his threats… they weren’t empty at all.” Another minister nodded, his expression grim. “I could feel it too. He’s not just a tyrant; he’s a predator. Do you know he keeps the teeth of all the beast he has conquered with his bare hands around his neck?” A ripple of unease

Nathan had just finished his speech, and a heavy silence filled the chamber. His words, like iron, had pressed down on the doubts lingering in the room. As the air began to shift from tension to determination, Nathan’s secretary, appeared at the chamber’s side entrance. She moved quickly but discreetly and she leaned close to Nathan, and she whispered into his ear, her voice was filled with urgency. “Mr. President, a package just arrived. It’s marked urgent and addressed to you personally,” she said, holding a small, sealed box in her hands. Nathan’s brow furrowed slightly, his instincts immediately pricked. He turned to face her fully, his expression unreadable. “Bring it to me,” he said, his voice even, though a subtle tension threaded through his tone. Lillian handed him the package, stepping back but remaining nearby, her professional demeanor masking her own unease. Nathan placed the box on the table before him. The ministers who were already on edge leaned forward slight

Lillian nodded briskly, her face pale but her professionalism unshaken. She picked up the box and hurried out of the chamber. Nathan then turned to James who was now Prescott’s Head of Security and Intelligence. “James,” Nathan commanded. James immediately straightened, his sharp features reflecting the seriousness of the situation. “Mr. President,” he replied, his voice steady. “Find out who delivered that package,” Nathan said, each word laced with quiet fury. “I don’t care what it takes—pull every surveillance tape, interrogate every staff member if you have to. I want the person alive.” “Yes, sir,” James replied, already scribbling notes in his notebook. “We’ll comb through every detail. I’ll have a preliminary report on your desk within hours.” Nathan nodded, his expression unrelenting. “Good. And James, if it turns out that someone within Prescott betrayed us…” He let the sentence hang in the air. James eyes darkened with understanding. “Understood, sir.” Nathan

Nathan let out a dark chuckle. The laughter did not mean he was amused but it was the sound of a man who knew exactly how to bend another’s will. He had done it countless times, this particular one even looked ke an easy prey. He just need a small push to convince him. He turned his sharp gaze to James, who stood silently by the wall, his face impassive. “It seems,” Nathan piased before continuing, “our friend here needs... a little persuasion.” James inclined his head, and his lips curled into a smirk, he thought Nathan would never ask. He reached inside his coat and brought out a knife.The bound man’s eyes widened in panic. He began to thrash against his restraints and he cried desperately. “No, please! Please, you don’t have to do this! I swear, I don’t know much! I’m just a deliverey man!” Nathan didn’t react to the man’s words. He simply leaned back in his chair, folding his hands in his lap. He knew that very soon he will start to talk. James stepped closer, with

Nathan stopped pacing and turned back towards the man toed to the chair. “Now,” Nathan began, his tone as calm as it was menacing, “you’re going to tell me everything you know about this man who gave you the packag.” Nathan was determined to find Sebastian and he was going to use him to send a very clear message, no one commits such atrocity and gets away with it. The man’s bloodshot eyes darted around the room as if searching for an escape that didn’t exist. “I—I told you everything already,” he stammered. “He found me at the bar. He was tall, white hair, scar on his left cheek...” Nathan interrupted, his voice razor-sharp. “Not just what he looked like. Everything. What did he sound like? Did he have an accent? What kind of car did he drive? How did he pay you? Cash? A transfer? Details.” The man swallowed hard and his face contorted in pain and fear. He took a shaky breath, clearly struggling to think through the haze of agony. “His voice... it was deep, but smooth and he.

The man in the chair was drenched in sweat as panic surged though him. His eyes darting between James and the operatives.The blade in James’s hand gleamed as the man prayed that he does not use that weapon on him. James remained silent, his piercing gaze locked onto the man , this knife had already tasted someone's blood and it was asking for more. But he had to ask Nathan what to do next, slowly, he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out his phone. The man’s breath quickened. “W-who are you calling?” he stammered. James ignored him as he tapped on screen before raising the phone to his ear. The man could hear the faint ringing from the phone and his heart louder faster with every ring. Finally, a voice answered. “Yes,” Nathan’s voice came through the phone. James straightened slightly, his expression unreadable. “We have him,” he said simply. “He’s confirmed Sebastian’s involvement and spilled everything we need to know. He’s here now.” After a brief conversation

Less than twenty-four hours after receiving the package, Vorthax launched a cyberattack on Prescott’s communication systems.The entire networks were brought to a standstill for hours this disrupted government operations, financial institutions, and even civilian services.

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

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

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.

He reached for his phone, dialing her number with trembling fingers.“Nathan?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “It’s me,” Nathan said trying to be as calm as possible.“Vanessa, listen to me. Everything is going to be fine. I’ve done what Sebastian asked. This will all be over soon.” Vanessa let out a choked sob. “Nathan… I’m so scared. I can’t—” “Don’t say that,” he interrupted gently but firmly. “You’re the strongest person I know. You’ve been through so much, and you’ve never given up. Don’t give up now.” “But the baby…” she cried, her voice cracking. “I can’t stop thinking about what will happen if—” “Nothing will happen,” Nathan cut in, his voice growing more resolute. “You and our baby will be fine. I swear it. We’ll go home tonight, like every other day. You’ll see Brian, and we’ll all be together again.” Vanessa’s

Nathan froze, his stomach sinking. “You’re out of your mind. That’s billions—” “Precisely,” Sebastian interrupted, his voice sharp. “Half of it, or the bombs go off. One in the stadium where thousands will die, and one under your precious wife’s car. Tick-tock, Mr. President.” Nathan’s free hand clenched into a fist, his nails digging into his palm. “You’re a monster,” he spat, his voice trembling with fury. Sebastian chuckled, “Save the moral outrage. You have thirty minutes to decide.” Nathan’s voice cracked with desperation. “Don’t hurt her. Don’t hurt my wife or my child. I’ll do whatever you want, just leave them out of this.” “Good,” Sebastian said, his voice almost gleeful. “Then start moving, Nathan. Time waits for no man.” The line went dead again.Nathan didn’t waste a second. He turned to his security team, his voice cold and commanding. “Seal off the stadium. No one leaves until every inch is searched. I want bomb squads on the ground now. Move!” His men hes
