Liera’s expression turned businesslike. “Strong, as always. Profits have increased by fifteen percent this quarter. The hotel chains expanded into Europe. There are a few minor issues, but nothing critical.”Nathan nodded. “Good. Keep managing it. Contact me only when necessary.”“Understood, Master. Anything else?”He rubbed his chin. “Yes. I need you to help me find some herbs.”Her brows furrowed slightly. “Herbs?”“Yes. Rare ones. Keep an eye out for these—Yartsa Gunbu, Snow Lotus…” He jolted down the 10 herbs on a piece of paper and handed it to her.She nodded, committing them to memory. “Consider it done. Anything else?”“That’s all for now. You can leave.”She bowed once more and exited without hesitation.Nathan stood alone in the grand villa, yet he felt far from settled. His past was a mystery, his future uncertain. But one thing was clear—he was no longer an ordinary man. Wanting to enhance his skills, Nathan decided to cultivate that night and chose a great spot for it.

Nathan didn’t repeat himself. He simply held her gaze, his unreadable eyes making her shift uncomfortably.But suddenly, Clarke let out a loud, mocking laugh, tilting her head back as if Nathan had just told the most ridiculous joke.“You're such a joker, Nathan! Goodness, I never expected you to say something so delusional.” She fanned herself dramatically, eyes gleaming with amusement. “A thing like you? Having an audience with Mayor Pierce? Oh, please.”She sneered, glaring at him with barely contained contempt. "By the way, I think you're now officially a zero since you've got no connection with my amiable Ms. Natalia. Just a wandering nobody.”“Think whatever you like since it feeds you well, Clarke," he retorted.She gasped in rising annoyance and he turned and walked away, his posture unbothered.Clarke watched him go, her amusement twisting into disgust. With a scoff, she flipped her hair over her shoulder and made her way back to the private room where Natalia was waiting.Sh

Natalia’s pulse pounded, but she refused to let him see her flinch. Instead, she straightened her shoulders and met his gaze head-on.“I don’t beg, Kacper. If you’re serious about this investment, we should talk business. If not, I’m walking out that door.”His smirk twitched, his eyes darkening with amusement. “Feisty as always. I like that.”But Natalia wasn’t here to be liked. She was here to save her company. And she wouldn’t let a man like Kacper dictate the terms.Kacper’s smirk deepened as he watched her hesitation. He swirled his drink leisurely, his piercing gaze locking onto hers.“You don’t get to call the shots, Natalia. I do,” he stated bluntly. “If you don’t keep drinking, I won’t invest a cent in your company.”A slow dread crawled up her spine. Trapped in a game she didn’t want to play, her confidence wavered. Her fingers trembled slightly as she lifted the glass.“That’s my girl,” Kacper murmured approvingly, his eyes dark with satisfaction as she took another relucta

The mayor’s sharp gaze flicked to Kacper, his tone cold and commanding.“Lower the gun, Kacper. Now.”Kacper tightened his grip on the weapon, his jaw clenching. His legs wobbled in fear but his pride wouldn’t let him back down so easily. He scoffed, tilting his chin up.“You forget who I am, Mayor. My father—”“Your father,” the mayor cut in, voice laced with disdain. “You always hide behind him. Always using his influence like a crutch, never standing on your own two feet.”Kacper’s lip curled in amusement. “And why should I? You know damn well how powerful my father is.” He boasted, hoping to save his face despite how superior the Mayor was compared to him or his family.The mayor smirked, unfazed. “Oh, I know well enough. But it seems like you don’t know what I can do.”“Mayor, please just stay out of this," Kacper requested, trying now not to sound arrogant before the mayor because he was afraid.Kacper’s confidence wavered for a split second. Before he could respond, the mayor d

Nathan stepped out of the restaurant with his hands tucked into his pockets, and his gaze straight ahead. Just as he was about to cross the parking lot, Taylor caught up to him, matching his stride.“Nathan.”He barely spared her a glance. “What?”She hesitated, then asked, “Are you okay?”“Everything is fine.” His voice was flat.Taylor studied him for a moment, but his detached expression made it difficult to argue. His mask was flawless—no cracks, no tells.“Alright, then,” she muttered, reluctantly believing him.They resumed walking toward the Mayor’s convoy when a figure suddenly appeared in their path.A man dressed in a gaudy, deep-blue suit stood before them, flanked by two towering guards. His slicked-back hair and diamond-studded watch screamed wealth, but his expression wasn’t arrogant—it was admiring. Not toward Nathan, but Taylor.He was an obstinate fellow who's been pursuing her for a while. He's the son of the Miller family who are more prominent in Spring Hills city.

“Wow. You're a rookie with no strong background in medicine. That’s rich.” He eyed Nathan with amusement. “No medical decree, no good reputation. You just wake up one morning and decide you could perform miracles. That's nice,” he sarcastically said.Just then, Mayor’s wife appeared. “What’s going on?”“We’re discussing my grandmother’s treatment,” Lyon explained. “Father brought this self-claimed doctor who didn't go through any medical school or have a famous teacher to treat her. ”The woman frowned, her gaze skeptical as she took in Nathan’s calm expression. “This young man? You expect us to trust someone with no credibility?”"Exactly, mother,” Lyon groaned. "He looked like he barely finished highschool too but considers himself a great doctor.”"That's ridiculous. He's not fit to even see your mother,” the woman said. “He shouldn't go close to grandmother, father. He might just worsen her illness," Lyon asserted with disdain.Nathan remained composed, unaffected by the skeptici

Nathan tilted his head, his gaze cool and steady. “I’m not sure I can meet your expectations,” he said, his voice calm, almost indifferent. “Perhaps you should ask that famous doctor. Not me.”The Mayor’s shoulders slumped. “No, we were wrong,” he said, his voice cracking. “Please. Show mercy. Come back. You’re our last hope.”Nathan’s expression remained impassive. "So, your family wants me back now?"“Yes,” the Mayor pleaded, desperation thick in his voice. “I don’t care what anyone says anymore. I believe in you. Just… try.”Nathan paused, the silence heavy. Then, with a slight nod, he replied, “Alright.”Back inside, Doctor Orchis’s eyes widened in excitement when seeing Nathan. “So, you’re the one who saved Sir Johnson?”Nathan simply shrugged. “I only did my best.”Doctor Orchis chuckled. “You were incredible. I feel pleased to meet you. If you don’t mind, I’d love to observe your treatment. I’ve never seen such techniques before.”Nathan nodded. “You’re welcome to.”As they ent

Dr. Orchis leaned forward, eyes gleaming with admiration as he regarded Nathan. “You are no ordinary physician,” he said firmly. “Your skills surpass most in this field, and I strongly suggest you participate in the upcoming medical conference . It’s the perfect stage for you. You could compete for the medical association president.”Nathan tilted his head slightly, considering the suggestion. “I was already planning to attend,” he admitted. “But I have no interest in titles. I only seek the rare herbs that may appear there.”Dr. Orchis exhaled heavily, shaking his head. “Then you may be at a disadvantage, my friend. Only the president of the medical association gets first pick of the herbs. If that is truly your goal, you may have no choice but to compete for the title.”Nathan’s expression remained unreadable, but he tapped a finger against the table in thought. He hadn’t considered that factor.“Besides,” Dr. Orchis continued, lowering his voice slightly, “you won’t be the only one

After storming out of Natalia’s home, Nathan didn’t pause to catch his breath. He drove straight to the herbal store, his mind set on gathering the final materials to create the magical pills. The herb store wasn’t hard to find. Tucked between two smaller apothecaries, its deep green signage read: Maebor’s Ancient Remedies. The air inside was thick with the earthy scent of roots, bark, and dried petals. He spent some minutes carefully selecting each needed herb and cross, checking them.By dusk, he’d secured most of what he needed.Except for one thing—the rare crystal. Without it, the pill’s reaction wouldn’t activate. The crystal was the catalyst, the spark. And he had only one place left to try to get a crystal: Kreyson’s Crystal Vault—the largest and most exclusive crystal store in the city.As he arrived there later, he walked in, the glimmering chandeliers and mirrored floors instantly set the tone for opulence. The walls were lined with tall glass cases, each housing crystals

Carrying Natalia in his arms, Nathan stepped out into the cool evening air. The distant howl of wind echoed across the hill road leading to his private villa. With every step, Natalia lay limp against his chest, her head resting near his shoulder.He could feel the faint warmth of her breath, the soft rhythm of her heartbeat against him. The very presence he had once thought he’d never hold again now lay so close, so vulnerable—and yet still out of reach.He placed her at the back of his car and entered. Inside the car, silence hung heavily until Nathan let out a shaky breath. His hands trembled slightly as he adjusted the rearview mirror, catching a glimpse of Natalia slumped in the passenger seat—her face pale, her lips slightly parted, and a faint bruise marring the curve of her cheek.He reached out gently, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“Natalia…” he whispered, his voice barely audible.With urgency and care, he pulled open the glove compartment and grabbed the first-ai

Frank’s face contorted in sheer agony as flames erupted over his arms. The searing pain was immediate and merciless. His screams pierced the room, raw and unfiltered, as he staggered backward, flailing in a desperate attempt to douse the unholy fire consuming his flesh. His once-proud stature crumbled, and terror painted his face in stark detail.Nathan wasted no time. In a flash, he closed the distance between them, his movements swift and lethal. Before Frank could react, a strong hand slammed against his chest. The touch alone sent an unbearable force surging through his body.Frank's cries grew shriller, his agony unbearable as his veins ignited from the inside. His eyes widened in horror as the blood in his body boiled, his veins rupturing with violent force. Blood spewed from his mouth, nose, and ears in torrents, his body convulsing violently. Then, with a final, gut-wrenching shriek, he collapsed onto the ground, lifeless. His twisted, burned corpse lay still, his demise absol
Chapter 42
Frank's laughter echoed through the ruined hall, a deep, guttural sound laced with madness. His crimson claws glowed as he stretched his arms outward, his lips moving in an incantation.The very air trembled as an ominous force surged around him. Dark energy coiled around his body, lifting him off the ground as though unseen hands were hoisting him into the air."You think you’ve seen power, Nathan?" Frank’s voice thundered, his glowing eyes narrowing with a terrifying glint. "You’ve seen nothing!"A deep hum vibrated through the atmosphere, and the ground beneath them cracked. Frank hovered several feet above, his form shrouded in malevolent energy. His claws elongated, crackling with raw, destructive power. Then, with a violent thrust of his hands, he unleashed a barrage of slashing energy towards Nathan.The razor-sharp crimson arcs streaked through the air, cutting through stone and leaving deep gashes along the ground. The force alone sent a gust of wind rippling through the larg

Nathan’s face darkened as he walked in further, his eyes hard with fury. There, lying on a worn cot in the center of the room, Natalia was barely conscious—her hair disheveled, her skin pale, and blood still seeping from a fresh wound. She had collapsed and vomited blood earlier, the brutal impact of Frank’s slap leaving her shattered. When she managed to lift her head, her gaze met Nathan’s. Her eyes couldn't hide her disbelief as another spurt of blood escaped her lips.Nathan’s brows furrowed, and anger surged through him as he laid his eyes on Natalia. His voice, low and seething with contempt, sliced through the silence. “How dare you?” he sneered, his tone echoing his unbridled rage.Across the room, Frank and his cronies stared in shock. Their eyes widened, and Kacper muttered under his breath, “How did this twerp track us down?” as he stepped back, his voice trembling with creeping fear.Frank, however, did not flinch. Instead, his expression contorted into something monstro

Meanwhile, back at Natalia's office, Clarke was sorting through a few documents on Natalia’s desk when the soft hum of a luxury car’s engine reached her ears. Curious, she lifted her head just in time to see a tall, authoritative man step through the glass doors. Her heart nearly stopped.Robert Gaius.She had never met him in person, but his face was well-known in the business world. Stunned, she quickly composed herself and approached him.“Mr. Robert,” she greeted, her voice laced with astonishment. “It's nice to see you. It's like a dream come through," she added in barely contained excitment.Robert turned his sharp gaze to her. His expression remained polite but questioning. “Hello. You are…?”“I’m Clarke, Miss Natalia’s assistant,” she introduced herself with a small bow. Robert nodded. “Good. I’ve come to sign the contract with Natalia.”“Contract?” Clarke echoed, eyes widening in astonishment. “But Miss Natalia already left… to meet you.”Robert’s brows furrowed. His entire

Clarke's smile faltered for a fraction of a second. She had hoped to go with them so she could see Robert Gaius. This was a rare opportunity to meet one of the city's famous moguls in person and it has slipped.Reluctantly, she agreed. "Alright, then. I wish you both the best."As James led Natalia out, Clarke watched them drive off, smiling so widely in admiration.James drove with a quiet smirk, one hand on the wheel, the other resting casually against the gear shift. The hum of the engine filled the space between them as they left the city behind.Natalia, lost in thought, barely noticed the change in route—until she glanced out the window. The roads were unfamiliar. The urban scenery had faded, replaced by open roads and sparse buildings.She frowned slightly. "James, this isn’t the way to Gaius Group."James, still calm, glanced at her from the corner of his eye. "I know. Robert Gaius prefers to discuss matters in a more private setting. He arranged for us to meet at a different

His cultivation had leaped forward overnight, but what truly excited him wasn’t just his newfound strength—it was the realization of what this place could offer.Nathan smirked, his fingers lightly tracing the ring on his hand, its ancient engravings pulsing with a faint glow. “Some pills can strengthen the body, some can cure diseases, and some… can even bring the dead back to life,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.The thought sent a shiver down his spine. Pill concoction was no ordinary skill. It required mastery, precision, and above all, a location rich in spiritual energy. Normally, even the most skilled alchemists struggled to find such a perfect environment. But he? He had stumbled upon the ideal setting by sheer luck.Or was it fate?He clenched his fist, determination burning in his eyes. If he could successfully concoct high-quality pills, he would no longer be dependent on others for resources. He could use them to fortify his own cultivation, to heal wounds
Chapter 37
After leaving the restaurant, Nathan returned home, his body tense but his mind calm. The acupuncture technique he had used on Frank earlier had drained a significant amount of his energy. Even though he had managed to suppress Frank during the medical conference, he knew that his opponent wouldn’t stay down for long. He needed to replenish his strength—quickly.Stepping inside his villa, he exhaled deeply, rolling his shoulders to relieve the lingering stiffness in his muscles. He needed to cultivate. But this time, the usual space inside the house at the rooftop wouldn’t suffice. He needed a better place so he started looking around for it. He didn't want any stagnation in his progress. Nathan moved toward the balcony, looking out at the vast land surrounding his property. A cool breeze rustled through the trees, and his sharp eyes scanned the terrain. As he turned to leave, a faint, almost imperceptible pull caught his attention. It was subtle but distinct, like a whisper calling
