THE SUPREME NATHAN THORNS (The City's god) Chapter 29
"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

Taylor exhaled, relieved, though her face remained red. But the embarrassment wasn’t over yet. The romantic ambiance—the soft glow of candlelight, the roses, the gentle music—it all made her hyper-aware of her surroundings. And she was a little excited about it.“I—uh, can we get a VIP private room instead?” she quickly asked the manager. The manager chuckled but nodded. “Of course. Right this way.”As they walked, Taylor kept her gaze forward, her posture stiff. Nathan, meanwhile, remained as composed as ever.Once they were seated, he finally spoke. “Embarrassed?”Taylor scoffed, crossing her arms. “Of course not. Why would I be?”Nathan’s lips twitched slightly. “If you say so.”She huffed, burying her face behind the menu, trying to will her heart to slow down.Inside the lit VIP room, an air of quiet satisfaction settled between them as they finished their meal. Taylor leaned back against her chair, crossing her legs gracefully as she tapped a finger on the table, eyes gleaming

Nathan didn’t even flinch when he saw Natalia and James. His expression remained impassive, his strides unbroken as he continued supporting Taylor toward the exit. He acted as if they were nothing more than air, his focus solely on Taylor, whose fingers now clung lightly to his arm.But Natalia saw them. And she felt it—a sharp, unwelcome pang in her chest.She had told herself it didn’t matter. That Nathan was free to do whatever he wanted. But the moment she saw Taylor leaning into him, saw the effortless way they stood together, the way Taylor’s fingers lingered on his arm like she belonged there—her stomach twisted.And he hadn’t even responded to her message.Her grip on her clutch tightened as she stepped forward, her voice laced with unrestrained bitterness. “I see now why you were too busy to respond to my message, Nathan. You were with your new love interest.”Nathan finally stopped. His face remained calm, unreadable. “She’s a friend,” he said smoothly. “That’s all.”Taylor,

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

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

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

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
