THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 9
Nathan turned his attention to the manager, who stood trembling before him. The manager quickly bowed his head, his voice quivering as he spoke. "L-Lord Cloud, I humbly apologize for the misunderstanding. I had no idea it was truly you. Please, accept my deepest apologies for the way you were treated," Nathan regarded the manager with a measured gaze, his expression inscrutable. After a moment of tension-filled silence, he spoke. "Apologies are only as good as the actions that follow them. Ensure this never happens again. I expect the highest level of professionalism from my staff, especially in places that hold significant value to me and my family." The manager nodded vigorously, relief evident on his face. "Of course, Lord Cloud. I will make sure that this does not repeat itself." Nathan nodded slightly, accepting the manager's promise. "Here is your new VIP card, sir," Bianca said, handing over the gold-embellished card. Nathan took it, swiping the card, and the door swung
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 10
Nathan scoffed and said, "What do you mean? This is the Celestial Resort and not the Wilson's mansion, or is the Celestial Resort not somewhere I can visit?"Nathan placed his two hands in his pockets as he wore a confident look which seemed to enrage the Wilson family even more.Nathan should even be asking the Wilson family what they were doing here.The entire hotel was shut down because of the meeting he had with the Global Triad.As the country's largest and most exclusive hotel, the Celestial Resort was a favored gathering place for politicians and influential figures from around the world."Don't play dumb with me, you fool!" Ivan cursed, infuriated by Nathan's confidence.How could someone be so confident after stealing gifts worth millions of dollars?Nathan should be somewhere hiding off as the thief and liar he is."You think we don't know what you did last night?" Grandfather Wilson said, pointing his stick furiously at Nathan."What I did last night?" Nathan asked with a
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 11
"You never cease to stop spilling nonsense, Nathan," Grandfather Wilson said."Tonight the Global Triad, which consists of the three most powerful presidents in the world, will be meeting with Lord Cloud in this very same hotel. They are going to deliberate and announce their first key partner in Prescott, and that is going to be us," Ivan said, gesturing to the Wilson family."Oh, the Global Triad is here?" Nathan decided to play along with them like he did not know, meanwhile, the entire hotel was shut down because of him."Yes, the entire Celestial Resort was put on lockdown because of this meeting, and it was due to Liam's influence that we were granted access as important guests to meet with Lord Cloud firsthand. With this opportunity, we will be able to gain the favor of Lord Cloud and reach the top faster than anyone has ever done."Nathan looked frustrated at the family's ignorance. "There's no need to keep telling me about the Global Triad. Of course, I know that they are he
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 12
"I've told you times without numer that the gifts were from me but you did not believe me, but Liam never said a word and you believed it was from him" Nathan paused for a moment ad diverted his attention to Claire"I'm so disappointed in all of you especially Claire, you can't even distinguish between right and wrong"Ivan immediately interjected "Talking this lunatic is pointless, he must have been pretending to be unwell for the past year I order to gain our pity amd attention, and now he has stolen gifts worth million of naira from us, a pauper like him would never return the gifts, because he knows he would never see such money in his life, why then would he return it?"The family nodded in agreement to Ivan's words Claire couldn't believe that she had taken care of him for the past year not knowing he was just pretending, Victoria only wished she had gotten rid of him sooner. "How dare you think of keeping such viffts, do you know the consequences of doing so?" Victoria said a

Ivan scoffed and said, "Nathan, I was quite certain you were merely bluffing when you claimed the Global Triad had invited you here. I had no idea you had made such elaborate preparations. I must admit, I'm not entirely surprised - your forged invitation does appear quite authentic. You've clearly put in a great deal of effort."Ivan paused, a confident smile spreading across his face. "However, as I'm sure you're aware, the Celestial Resort always provides security details to escort any special guests, and they are the ones tasked with verifying invitations. If your invitation were genuine, they would have been the ones to present it to you."Nathan remained silent, recognizing the validity of Ivan's statement.In truth, the Celestial Resort had indeed dispatched a team of highly trained security personnel to escort Nathan, but he had sent them away, believing they were unnecessary as his own security contingent would suffice.At that moment, the Chief of Security nodded in agreement
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 14
"I have arrived at the hotel," Nathan stated."but I think there is a mix-up. The security chief seems to be harboring a certain prejudice against me." The security chief and the Wilson family looked at Nathan, laughing. This was obviously another one of Nathan's displays. He was pretending like he was talking to someone important. They were certainly not impressed. First, he produced a fake invitation claiming he was invited here by the Global Triad, who were extraordinarily powerful people, and now he was claiming to speak to someone of high importance. Nathan's stunts kept getting better and better.President Alexander's voice boomed with fury as he practically spat the words through the phone. "What?! How dare he have the audacity to do that?" The usually composed leader's demeanor had been shattered by the news relayed by Nathan.Nathan could practically feel the waves of anger radiating from the other end of the line. "Please, Lord Nathan, I need you to wait in the lobby," A
THE ALMIGHTY LORD CLOUD CHAPTER 15
Turning to his men, the security chief's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing to slits. "Take down this lunatic immediately," he barked, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Break his two legs if you have to, but I want him subdued and restrained. We've had enough of his ridiculous antics."The armed guards, their faces set in grim determination, moved in swiftly, surrounding Nathan with practiced precision. Their hands gripped their weapons tightly, ready to carry out the chief's orders with ruthless efficiency.Nathan's eyes widened momentarily, but he stood his ground, his expression defiant as he folded his hands at his back.Nathan looked around, studying his opponents. There were five men in total. One thing the Wilson family did not know about him was that, growing up, his father had made him train in various martial arts. His father was a strong believer in being strong in mind and spirit, so he had the best martial artists from all over the world train him. Nathan n

The hotel owner, Mr. Vegas, glared angrily at the security chief, his brow furrowed in a severe expression. "What do you think you're doing?" he demanded sternly, his voice laced with irritation as he barely contained his anger. The security chief winced visibly, immediately cowering under Mr. Vegas' withering gaze. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Vegas," he apologized profusely, bowing his head in a sign of submissiveness. "It's all my fault. I allowed this troublemaker to gain access to the hotel. Please, don't worry, sir. I will rectify this immediately. I will have him thrown out straight away." He thought that Mr. Vegas was angry that he had allowed Nathan to cause a scene. Before the security chief could finish his explanation, Mr. Vegas lashed out, his hand swinging with sudden, forceful motion. A resounding slap echoed through the lobby of the hotel as Mr. Vegas' palm landed harshly on the security chief's cheek, the impact stinging and leaving an imprint of Mr. Vegas' palm on

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

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.
CHAPTER 298
Nathan sat in the back of his private car, after he had just delivered the package, there was only one thought in his mind and thst we Vanessa. 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

As he made his way to the VIP box, the crowd rose in a standing ovation, chanting his name in unison. “Nathan! Nathan! Nathan!” Flags waved in the air and there was thunderous applause that echoed throughout the stadium. Cameras flashed as reporters scrambled to capture his eveImportant extended their hands for a quick greeting as he walked pass them. His expression was calm as he gave an occasional nod of acknowledgment to the fans. As Nathan reached the VIP section, an official ushered him to the seat reserved just for him. The announcer’s voice boomed through the speakers, “Ladies and gentlemen, President Nathan Cloud has arrived!” The cheers grew even louder. Nathan sat down, scanning the field. His eyes focused on the players as they were playing with so much determination. Minutes later, as Nathan se
