THE SUPREME NATHAN THORNS (The City's god) Chapter 39
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

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

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

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

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 absolu

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-aid

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

Nathan's fingers curled lightly as he stepped forward, his voice cool yet firm. “I’m getting that crystal,” he said, unwavering.The couple turned in unison, their faces etched with disbelief, then contempt.The man, tall and lean in a charcoal suit, sneered with arrogance. “You? Getting that crystal? Do you even know what it’s worth?”The woman curled her manicured fingers around his arm, her laughter cold and mocking. “Please. This store isn’t a flea market. Maybe you mistook it for one,” she said, eyes narrowing as she looked Nathan up and down with distaste.Nathan's expression remained still, but his words cut sharper than a blade. “It’s funny to hear that from a mistress who survives on another man’s wallet. You’ve got no right to mock anyone.”The woman’s face twisted in fury. Her cheeks flushed a deep red, not from embarrassment but from wounded pride. “What did you say?!”“I said,” Nathan replied, calmly meeting her gaze, “being kept doesn’t come with class. Try humility.”“G

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
