THE SUPREME NATHAN THORNS (The City's god) Chapter 55
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

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

“Master Nathan, please, just take the card. You’re the chairman of Dynasty Group. If you don’t believe me, take this card to Narvo Bank. Enter your birthday and check the balance. Everything will be revealed.”Liera’s voice was calm but firm, her green eyes glistening with reverence. Without waiting for a response, she placed the sleek gold card on the table in front of him and bowed deeply—almost folding herself in half—before turning and walking out of the café.After countless attempts to convince him, she had given up on words. Now, she would let the truth speak for itself.Her heels clicked sharply against the floor. Outside, a black Rolls-Royce waited, its engine purring softly as she slid into the back seat.A convoy of luxury cars followed her departure, leaving Nathan alone with the card and his thoughts.Nathan stared at the card, his expression unreadable.He didn’t pick it up immediately, instead letting out a low, humorless laugh. “Chairman of Dynasty Group? Me? What a jok

Nathan wasted no time and hurried to Narvo Bank, the Gold card burning in his pocket. His heart pounded—not from excitement, but from the lingering sting of betrayal. But he needed answers, mostly at the moment.As he approached the grand entrance of Narvo Bank, he barely had time to take in the opulent surroundings before two familiar figures stepped in his path.Natalia’s mother, Thelma, and her younger sister, Joyce.Sighting him, their eyes gleamed with something far less polished—contempt.Thelma sneered, her red lips curling in disgust. “What the heck are you doing here, good-for-nothing?”Joyce cackled, flipping her sleek brown hair over her shoulder. “Oh, please tell me you’re lost. This isn’t some rundown café, you know.”Nathan clenched his fists but remained silent.“Ah,” Thelma gasped dramatically. “Maybe he came to see us to beg Natalia to take him back. How pitiful.”Joyce snorted, linking her arm with her mother’s. “If that’s the case, then he’s even dumber than we thoug

Taylor’s fury was relentless, her piercing gaze locking onto the security guard. Without hesitation, she straightened her shoulders and declared, “You’re fired.”The guard’s face was drained of color. “M-Ma’am, please—”“You dare lay hands on him?” she cut him off sharply. “Not only did you fail in your duty, but you humiliated a Supreme Gold cardholder in front of the entire bank! You’re done here. Get out now before I have you dragged out.”The man stumbled back, his lips parting, but Taylor had already shifted her focus.Just as the security guard turned to leave in disgrace, Thelma stepped forward, nostrils flaring. “Ms. Taylor, you’re making a huge mistake!” she snapped.Taylor arched an unimpressed brow.Thelma jabbed a finger toward Nathan. “This nobody is fooling you! He’s not the owner of that card! You should call the police and have him arrested for fraud before it’s too late.”Joyce smirked, nodding in agreement. “Exactly! Someone like him could never have that kind of mone

Taylor’s breath hitched as she stared at the screen. Her eyes widened inch by inch, barely able to contain her own shock. A trillion. Even as the Head Manager, she had never seen such an astronomical balance before.She immediately schooled her expression and turned to Nathan with renewed respect. “Mr. Nathan, this is… truly remarkable. You are the highest-level customer in our bank. We are deeply honored to have you trust our services.”Nathan remained composed, though internally, he was still processing the reality of his newfound wealth.Taylor continued, her voice laced with admiration. “Our bank has numerous industries and investment projects across the country. If you ever need anything—anything at all—please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. I will personally see to all your needs and demands.”Nathan arched a brow. “You mean to say I have the Head Manager of Narvo Bank at my beck and call?”Taylor smiled smoothly. “That’s correct, sir. It would be my pleasure to serve you

Nathan knew Taylor was stepping in to help him, but the warmth of her hand in his sent an unfamiliar sensation through his chest. It wasn’t discomfort—no, it was something else. A slow, persistent thrum beneath his ribs. The closeness, the way she confidently claimed him, made something shift inside him.Natalia, on the other hand, was seething. Nathan has a new lover? Already? It made no sense. They had barely been divorced for long, yet here he was, standing beside a woman so effortlessly elegant and powerful. A sharp pang of jealousy twisted in her gut, though she masked it behind a scoff.James wasn’t faring any better. His pride had already taken a hit from seeing Nathan here, but learning about Taylor? His jaw clenched as he overheard the murmurs around them."That’s Taylor Monroe, right?”“Yes! She’s the Head Manager of Narvo Bank. I heard she’s got immense authority over the bank’s investment business in the city.""Unbelievable. Not only is she gorgeous, but she’s a powerhouse

As the words left Nathan’s mouth, a wave of disbelief rippled through the crowd.“Him?” one man scoffed. “That’s the boldest bluff I’ve heard tonight.”A woman in a silver dress chuckled behind her wine glass. “Nathan can’t even afford to bid for a napkin, let alone an antique ring.”James, on the other hand, clenched his jaw. His eyes darkened with fury. Was Nathan deliberately provoking him? He had tolerated enough of this humiliation tonight.“You want the ring?” James sneered. “I’d love to see how you plan to take it from me.”A few guests snickered, eager to watch the spectacle unfold.Meanwhile, the event continued. A series of dazzling performances commenced—graceful dancers twirling in shimmering costumes, an opera singer’s powerful voice filling the hall, and a magician performing astonishing tricks to entertain the elite guests. Soon, waiters dressed in crisp uniforms began serving dinner—exquisite dishes that satisfied both the eyes and the palate.Simultaneously, the much-

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
