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

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

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

Kacper watched as James staggered out of the building, his lips curling into a grimace. He was still doubtful, but at this point, James had no other choice but to make sure the plan worked. If he failed again, there would be no more mercy.As soon as the door shut behind James, a slow clap echoed from the shadows. Kacper turned sharply, his body tensing, but then his gaze landed on the man stepping forward.Frank.His uncle emerged from the darkness, his presence colder, heavier than before. Despite the vicious beating he had taken from Nathan at the medical conference, Frank no longer looked like a broken man. His bruises were faint, his posture firm, his aura exuding something far more dangerous.Kacper's brows furrowed.He tilted his head, studying him. “Uncle, you look even stronger than ever.What did you do? ”His eyes gleamed with intrigue.Frank chuckled, low and eerie, rolling his shoulders as if testing newfound strength. “A technique,” he said, his voice heavy with satisfacti

A dark silence stretched between them.Kacper’s gaze remained piercing, and impenetrable.Finally, he hummed. “Is that so?”James swallowed hard, his head pounding as he struggled to keep himself upright. His entire body ached, sharp pain radiating from every inch of his battered frame. He let out a trembling breath, his face smeared with blood and dirt. His lips quivered as he stammered, “Y…yes, I've got a perfect plan for that.”One of Kacper’s men scoffed. “Capping,” he muttered, spitting on the ground beside James.Kacper let out a low chuckle, turning his back to James. His fingers drummed lazily against his wrist as he mused. "I don’t like being lied to, James," he said smoothly.At his unspoken command, the men surged forward again.James barely had time to scream before fists and boots landed on him. He curled into himself, coughing violently as a solid kick slammed into his ribs. “P—please!” he gasped, spitting blood. "I swear on my family’s name, I have a plan! A real plan

Natalia’s fingers curled tightly around her clutch as she cast a brief glance at James. A forced smile lifted her lips—polite, detached, yet lacking warmth. James, however, either didn’t notice or chose to ignore it. His usual smirk remained intact, his confidence unshaken.“I booked the best private lounge for us,” he announced smoothly, adjusting the cuff of his tailored suit. “It’s exclusive, quiet, and perfect for—”Natalia cut him off with a small wave of disinterest. “No, James.” Her voice was firm but not unkind. “I appreciate it, but I have to leave. My company just secured a high investment, and I need to handle the related matters immediately.”James’ smirk wavered for the briefest moment before he recovered, masking his displeasure with practiced ease. He exhaled through his nose, a measured breath of someone keeping their emotions in check.“Of course,” he said smoothly, stepping closer. “That’s a huge deal for you. I’ll drive you back to your company.”She remained still
