THE SUPREME NATHAN THORNS (The City's god) Chapter 24
Inside the opulent hall, chandeliers bathed the room in golden light, reflecting off polished floors and expensive glassware. The air carried the scent of fine wine, aged books, and the faint sterility of antiseptics. The attendees—renowned doctors from Dunhaven, Westvale, Grimshaw, and beyond—moved in circles, discussing medical breakthroughs and their prestigious apprentices. Their voices overlapped, blending into a hum of self-importance.Nathan entered with a casual yet commanding presence. Though his attire was simple, his aura drew attention. Some glanced at him with curiosity, others with subtle disdain.A familiar voice called out.“Nathan! There you are.”Doctor Orchis approached, his face lighting up with genuine delight. Without hesitation, he clapped Nathan on the back and led him further into the hall.“Ladies and gentlemen,” Orchis announced, his voice cutting through the murmurs. The room quieted as heads turned. “Allow me to introduce a man of remarkable talent—Nathan

Kacper, however, had little interest in the admiration because he knew his uncle was commanding. His gaze swept the hall and instantly locked onto Nathan, his expression twisting into a sneer. Without hesitation, he strode forward, scanning Nathan from head to toe with undisguised contempt.“Well, well,” Kacper drawled, his lips curling in amusement. “Look at you, still acting bold despite everything. You think you can just waltz around after what you did?” His voice dripped with malice. “You’ll pay for your past actions today, Nathan.”Nathan remained unmoved, his expression indifferent. He tilted his head slightly, as if Kacper was nothing more than an annoying fly buzzing in his ear."Is that so?" Nathan said calmly, his tone almost bored. "And what exactly do you plan to do? Glare me to death?"Kacper’s smirk faltered for a brief second before he scoffed. “Do you even know who I am?” He stepped closer, his eyes dark with arrogance. “I’m Frank Fields’ nephew.”Nathan raised an eyeb

Frank stood tall, surveying the room with a smirk. Seeing no one move, he gave a slow, satisfied nod.“No objections, right?” His voice echoed, dripping with arrogance. “I expected as much.”The crowd remained silent, some lowering their gazes in hesitation. Fear had wrapped itself around the room like an unshakable curse.But then, a scoff cut through the tension.Nathan, arms crossed, let out a short laugh. “Dominance through fear? How original.” His voice was laced with sarcasm, his expression unreadable.Heads turned toward him in shock. The doctors who had been paralyzed by Frank’s influence now stared at Nathan as if he had just signed his death sentence.Frank’s eyes snapped to him, narrowing slightly. For a moment, silence stretched between them. Then, with a quiet crack of his nose, Frank simply smiled.“And who might you be?” he asked, though his tone carried no real interest. He then waved a dismissive hand. “Never mind. A nobody doesn’t deserve my attention.”Nathan raised

The hall buzzed with tension as the next challenger stepped forward. The scent of rare herbs and burning incense filled the air, mixing with the nervous energy crackling between the gathered doctors and spectators.A man dressed in deep blue robes adorned with silver embroidery raised his chin, his voice steady and commanding.“I am from Ravenmere City—Doctor Balor,” he announced. His chest puffed with pride, his posture exuding confidence. “I believe in my abilities.”The murmurs of the crowd rippled in response.“Doctor Balor… isn’t he the one who cured the Frostbite Plague in the North?”“I’ve heard of him. He can summon medicine spirits—manifestations of nature’s healing force!”“He’s not just a doctor. He’s a warrior in his own right.”Frank tilted his head, a slow, mocking smile curling his lips. His dark eyes glinted with amusement as he gave a lazy clap.“Oh? Another brave soul. How thrilling,” he drawled. “And what makes you think you’ll fare any better than the last one?”Ba

Frank turned, his sharp gaze locking onto Nathan. But unlike the others, Nathan met his stare with unflinching resolve, his expression calm, unreadable.For the first time that evening, Frank’s smirk wavered. But then, he chuckled, lips curling into an amused grin. “Well, well.” His voice dripped with condescension. “This should be interesting. But are you sure you want to risk your life, young man?”Nathan remained unmoved. “Let’s just see how it goes.” His voice was steady, carrying a quiet confidence that unsettled those watching.The room erupted into chaos.“He’s insane!”“Nathan or whatever they call him isn’t even a prominent doctor, talkless of a warrior!”“Does he have a death wish?”Robert leaned closer to Dr. Orchis, shaking his head. “That boy is as stiff-headed as a tortoise. But you know what happens to a tortoise before it can slip back into its shell?” He made a slicing motion across his neck. “It gets its head cut off.”Dr. Orchis grimaced but said nothing.Kacper sco

"By the forsaken souls, I summon thee!" Frank chanted, his voice reverberating like a storm.From his coat, he pulled out a black bone vial etched with disturbing markings. With a menacing grin, he uncorked it, scattering its contents—ashes, tainted with sorrow and malice.A sudden, piercing wail filled the air. The ashes swirled violently before merging into grotesque, vengeful infant spirits. Their translucent forms twisted in agony, their hollow eyes glowing with eerie hostility. The spirits shrieked, their cries so piercing that several doctors clutched their heads in pain.Then, like a vengeful storm, they lunged.The first victim was the elder doctor. A spirit latched onto his arm, its ghostly fingers sinking into his flesh. He let out a bloodcurdling scream as his skin blackened, rotting within seconds. The toxic essence corroded his veins, spreading like wildfire.More spirits swarmed, their chilling presence turning the hall into a scene of chaos. Doctors and scholars stumble

Among the sea of people, Dr. Orchis stood with misty eyes, overwhelmed with pride. His hands clenched into fists, his heart swelling with admiration.Taylor, slightly trembling from the near-death experience, stepped forward. Her gaze met Nathan’s, gratitude brimming in her eyes.“You saved my life,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “I don’t even know how to thank you.”Nathan simply smiled, his gaze steady and reassuring. “You don’t have to. You’re safe now—that’s all that matters.”Her breath hitched at his words. She had expected some grand response, but his sincerity left her speechless.At that moment, Nathan wasn’t just the man who had won the duel—he was the man who had earned their utmost respect.Dr. Orchis took a deep breath before stepping forward, his voice ringing with conviction.“I have never been prouder,” he declared. “And now, I have no hesitation in saying this—I am honored to be your student, Nathan.”A murmur rippled through the crowd, but unlike befor

As they stepped out of the conference hall, the cool evening breeze greeted them. The city lights shimmered in the distance, and the sound of distant chatter filled the air. Doctor Orchis, still buzzing with excitement, walked between Nathan and Taylor, his chest puffed with pride.“Nathan,” he started, glancing at the young man with admiration, “I must say, today was extraordinary! Absolutely extraordinary! I knew you were skilled, but this? Hah! You had every single one of those old men shivering at just the sound of your voice! Did you see Robert? I swear, if he had a tail, he would’ve tucked it between his legs and fled!”Taylor chuckled softly. Nathan, however, only offered a small, knowing smile.Orchis clapped his hands together and shook his head in amazement. “And now, not only am I your admirer, but your student too! Can you imagine? The great Doctor Orchis, now a student of the young master Nathan! Hah! If someone told me this a week ago, I’d have called them insane!”Natha

The atmosphere in the grand hall had shifted completely. A moment ago, the crowd was filled with skepticism and ridicule towards Nathan. Now, it was filled with awe and admiration.“Who would have thought… Nathan’s pill would surpass even Braxton’s?” whispered one of the guests, his voice tinged with disbelief.Another man who had sneered earlier stepped forward and nodded vigorously. “I’ll be honest—I mocked him earlier. I thought he was bluffing. But this... this man is unremarkable.”“I take back every word I said,” a woman added quickly. “Nathan… I underestimated you. That was a mistake.”“He’s no ordinary man. We were blind,” muttered another voice.The hall buzzed with renewed reverence. Compliments and astonished praises flew freely. Nathan remained still, calm, though a soft, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his lips.Braxton, however, sat rigidly, his smile frozen. He clenched his jaw behind tight lips, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the room. “Are they r

The hall fell silent as Keane Waters stood poised with the wooden box in his hands. Everyone’s eyes trailed him, puzzled.Why would a man of his caliber waste his time on a pill from someone like Nathan?Even Nathan raised a brow, curious about Keane’s sudden interest. He hadn’t expected someone to vouch for him—especially not him.Then came Braxton’s scoff, breaking the silence with his smug voice. “This is a waste of time, Master Keane. I respect your knowledge, but surely you know better than to dignify this nonsense.” He waved a hand dismissively in Nathan’s direction. “That man can’t possibly make a real pill. He’s not an alchemist. He’s just… a lucky nobody.”There were murmurs of agreement.“He’s only trying to save face.”“Why would a man dressed like that have something worth looking at?”“Even if it looks like a pill, it’s probably filled with cheap herbs and colored powder.”“Sir Keane shouldn’t even waste his breath.”But Keane’s eyes didn’t waver. He turned his head sligh

Nathan’s gaze barely lingered on the golden pill Braxton presented. While others stared in awe, their gasps echoing through the hall, Nathan’s eyes swept across the so-called life-prolonging pill with silent calculation. One glance, and he already knew—it wasn’t as miraculous as they believed.“Too much sheen on the casing… the pill’s core isn’t condensed properly. A rushed process,” he thought. “Not useless, but certainly not worth the hype.”He didn't clap. He didn’t even blink. He merely stood still, unimpressed.Braxton caught the lack of reaction and sneered. “What’s the matter, Mr. Nobody?” he said, loud enough to draw attention. “Didn’t bring any gift? Came here just to freeload?”Soft murmurs and laughs of mockery rippled through the room again.Before Nathan could respond, Barbara stepped out from the crowd, face calm but voice sharp. “Even if he didn’t bring a gift, Nathan’s presence here is worth more than gold. He’s no random man off the street, Braxton. So watch your mout

As Nathan turned slightly, a stir broke out among a group of men seated close to the center—faces he recognized from the last medical conference. The first to stand was Robert Gaius, followed closely by several other renowned practitioners and surgeons.“Nathan!” Robert called, striding up quickly, a bright smile on his face. “It’s pleasant to see you here .”Another older gentleman, Dr. Li, joined him. “It’s an honor, truly. Welcome, President.”Their expressions were respectful—some even reverent. The air around them had shifted. That one incident—where Nathan had defeated Frank Fields with skill, both medical and supernatural—had left a deep impression. And he had become the President of the National Medical Association, their awe only grew.“We just wanted to salute—” Robert began, lowering his head slightly.But Nathan’s eyes lifted and locked onto them. Calm, cold, and commanding. There was no harshness in them—only quiet authority. It was enough.They froze.Ah… right.In uniso

The grand banquet hall of Johnson Monroe was bathed in soft golden light, chandeliers sparkling like stars above polished marble floors. Red and gold banners adorned the walls, and elegant flower arrangements filled the air with a subtle fragrance.Everyone in the city knew this was no ordinary birthday celebration—Johnson Monroe wasn’t just a beloved elder, he was the president of the city’s medical association and a symbol of prestige. As such, his celebration was attended by the powerful and elite—representatives from major families, political figures, and high-ranking members of the medical world.Men in sleek suits and women in elegant gowns filled the space, their laughter and murmurs like a constant hum. Waiters glided between them with crystal glasses and silver trays.At the grand entrance, Nathan stepped in, calm and poised. His presence was unassuming, yet he carried a weight that made people pause. Just as he took another step forward, a voice called out.“Nathan!” Taylor’

After returning home, Nathan wasted no time. He stepped out of his shoes, rolled up his sleeves, and headed straight to the secluded garden behind the villa—the quiet, concealed area surrounded by ancient trees and blessed with an unusual stillness. To others, it might look like a patch of overgrown greenery, but to Nathan, it was sacred ground. The soil brimmed with life. The air carried a strange charge. This was where he could work in peace—where power could be drawn from nature’s core itself.He stood at the center of a smooth stone platform that had created over the years. At its heart lay a refined brazier, encrusted with aged runes. Nathan closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, drawing in the energy of the space around him. The soft hum of the Crystal —a rare, glowing gemstone known for amplifying elemental flow—rested in his palm.“It’s now or never,” he muttered, placing the Crystal in the middle of the brazier as a catalyst. He arranged the things herbs he had gotten over the

Meanwhile, in one of the most luxurious suites of a private inn tucked deep into the hills of the city, a glass bottle of brandy soared through the air and shattered against the wall. The once-pristine room, with its polished floors, velvet drapes, and designer furniture, now looked like a crime scene. Cushions lay scattered, the coffee table was overturned, and bits of broken glass glittered like fallen stars across the rug.Braxton Miller stood in the center, chest heaving with fury, his clenched fists trembling at his sides.“Damn it!” he shouted, voice thunderous and echoing through the walls.The door creaked open as one of his men rushed in, face drawn with worry. “Sir? Are you alright?”Braxton didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he spun around and delivered a sharp backhand slap to the man’s face. The impact echoed louder than the brandy bottle’s crash.“How the hell would I be alright when the entire plan failed!” he bellowed.The man staggered but didn’t retaliate, merely

After leaving the store, Nathan and Taylor had settled into the back seat of one of the waiting cars. She had seemed fine moments ago, talking and glowing with her usual confidence. But just as the car pulled away, her little smile trailed off. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat and clutched her stomach."Nathan…" she murmured, voice shaky. "I feel… strange… hot."Nathan turned swiftly to look at her. Her face was flushed. Her pupils dilated. Her chest rose and fell in uneven breaths as she panted and tugged at her neckline like it was choking her.“What’s wrong?” he asked, leaning closer. Her skin was warm—too warm. He gently took her wrist, checking her pulse. It was rapid.“Damn it,” he muttered. “She’s been drugged…”He recognized the symptoms immediately. Aphrodisiac. A strong one. But who would dare slip something like that into her drink or food?His jaw clenched. This wasn’t the time to speculate.Taylor suddenly leaned back against the seat, her body losing control. “Natha

Meanwhile, back at Natalia’s house, Natalia stirred slowly, the weight of the world pressing against her temples. Her eyes fluttered open, blurry images sharpening into the familiar ceiling of the living room. A dull ache throbbed in her arms, and her throat felt dry. She blinked again, struggling to sit up."She’s awake!" her sister gasped."Natalia!" her mother cried, rushing to her side.Both women encircled her in tight, tearful embraces. Relief flooded their voices."Thank God you’re conscious now," her mother whispered, stroking her hair.But Natalia didn’t respond. Her eyes darted around the room, scanning every corner with a sense of urgency."Where is he?" she rasped. Her voice was hoarse but determined. "Where’s Nathan?"Thelma and Joyce exchanged an awkward glance. Thelma’s lips thinned."He’s gone," she said curtly. "I asked him to leave."Natalia froze, her breath catching. "You what?"Thelma folded her arms. "He was here for a while. But we didn’t think he had any reason
