2025-01-16 05:35:17Nathan was waiting for the bidding price on the necklace, he didn't pay attention to the others cause he couldn't care less about them.
"I take it that's why you're here? You want to take that Amulet?" Elena was looking at Nathan and she could see that he was seriously looking at the stage with much concentration.
Nathan let out a cool sigh, he had a happy look on his face and it was clear as day that he was going to be happy to make sure that nothing was going to keep him from taking it.
"That amulet belonged to our family and it was taken from us wrongly, not only that there are more of the Specter family heirloom they are not even putting out on display but then they are planning to sell it, and they would give it to the highest bidder."
Nathan did not sound happy when he was trying to tell Elena why the Amulet was important.
"So you're telling me that those bozos have something to do with your family's death?" Elena had connected the dots, she knew that he wouldn't be thinking of hurting them if there was not a valid reason.
"Connected? They were part of the people who killed my parents, they tried to kill me too but then, I was saved only in the last minute." Nathan was looking at the stage, his gaze was unwavering.
The announcer brought the amulet out with a smile on his face.
"Now this precious jewel is going for ten million dollars!" He yelled looking around, the crowd was filled with mutters.
"Twelve million!" Someone inside the crowd yelled.
"Fourteen million!" Another yelled.
"Fifteen million!" Yet another yelled, the announcer was filled with different emotions.
"Wow, fifteen million do I have anyone going higher than that?!" He was looking around to see if there was anyone who would go higher than all that.
"Twenty-five million!"
The crowd turned to look at who made the bid, and it was the Nico Family heir, he had a smug look on his face.
"Twenty Five Million!! There is no way anyone would want to go up against one of the city's princes so I take it that there is no way-"
"Thirty-five million!"
Everyone froze when they heard the bid price, they turned to see who was making the bid.
They saw Nathan looking at them with an odd look on his face, he wasn't going to let them take his family's heirloom like that.
"Thirty-five million from the man sitting at the back, I hope he knows that this is not a joke," the announcer was looking at Nathan and the other men in the building.
There was an uproar of laughter, everyone looked at Nathan like he was some kind of poor man with nothing.
The Nico family heir smiled, and he turned to the announcer.
"I love his spirit but then let me humour him, Fifty Million dollars for the amulet!" He yelled, sending the crowd in a frenzy knowing that he was the one who was going home with it.
Nathan smiled when he saw what they were doing, and he was not going to back down.
"I believe they think you're done," Elena was looking at Nathan, she saw the smile on his face and she knew that there was no way for him to back down.
Nathan smiled as he looked at Elena, he gave her the only reply that would be seen as something cold. "What do you think?"
Nathan turned back to the crowd, he took a deep breath. "A hundred and fifty million for that amulet!"
There was silence in the crowd, they were shocked that Nathan was going further with his bid.
"Is he mad?! Can he even pay that amount?!"
"I bet he doesn't even have a quarter of that in his account, he is only doing this to get the attention of everyone here!"
"Who does he think he is going up against the Nico family?!"
The announcer was still shocked that Nathan placed a hundred and fifty million as a bid for the amulet.
"Is there anyone going higher?" The announcer asked looking around.
The Nico family heir raised his hand, he was looking at the announcer and he was waiting for him to say something odd.
"Let the man pay for the amulet if he is all that, I want to see if he is for real or if he thinks that this is a joking ground." The Nico family heir was looking at Nathan, "Or maybe he was saying all that to impress Lady Elena!"
Everyone in the crowd was muttering as well, they knew that there was no way for him to have that amount of money and he was only trying to make sure he would feel amongst them.
Or so they thought.
Nathan smiled, he didn't care about the money he only wanted to take his revenge.
"Where am I making the payment?!" He asked he was looking at them like there was something wrong with all of them.
The crowd was still stunned, they all saw Nathan as a fool for trying to put on the act further.
The Nico family heir smiled when he saw what Nathan was doing. He got up and turned to him properly, he was looking at Nathan.
"If you don't make this payment, you will become my servant and I will make you pay for denting my car! This will show you not to mess with me!" He was looking at Nathan, he didn't want to say anything else.
Nathan smiled when he heard what the man said, "And if I make the payment, I will take your car, your clothes, and every inch of your godamn dignity,"
The crowd gasped when they heard what Nathan said, he was not going to back down.
"This man is a psycho, he is going up against the Nico Family heir and thinks that he will walk out of this place?!"
Everyone was watching, the announcer took the machine meant for payment and headed to Nathan he was looking at him.
"Hey, this is a good time to back down from this madness. It's still early and no one will blame you if you pleaded for his forgiveness!" The man said as he looked at Nathan.
Nathan brought out his card, he took the machine from the announcer and he had an odd look on his face.
"I am not scared of him, besides I do like to have a new car," Nathan placed his card into the machine and waited for the payment to go through but then it was declined.
The buzz sound was loud and it showed that Nathans payment didn't go through.
The Nico family heir began to giggle, "So you're doomed right?! I knew that you didn't have anything but I wanted to humour you!"
Everyone was laughing but the announcer was not seeing payment decline but some words he had never seen on his machine.
"Device can't handle the card's capacity! Bring me the bigger machine!"
The announcer yelled, his voice made everyone in the crowd to be quiet.

Nathan waited for them to bring him the machine that would be able to handle his card. He noticed that everyone in the crowd was quiet and didn't want to say anything. The announcer was still looking at him. They were all wondering one thing, and it was clear from their faces what it was. "Who on earth was this man? And why was he going this far to make sure that he would mess with the Nico family heir like that?" When the machine came to them, the announcer looked at Nathan to see if he would see a sign of him trying to change his mind and do something else but then he could only see the same look on his face and it was only the smile that Nathan wore on. "Here you go sir," The announcer didn't want to butt into something that he would not be able to explain but he was looking at Nathan trying to understand if he would see anything that would hint at what was going to happen next then he didn't see anything.

Anthony knew that Nathan was not joking around and from the looks of things he was going to make sure that he would pay him his part of the bet. "Now, the choice is yours. Pay what you owe me or I will have to make sure that there is no way for you to walk normally again," Nathan threatened Anthony from the looks of things he was not going to be joking with him and he was going to make sure that the part of the bet would be paid.'Who is this man? Doesn't he know that I am Anthony Nico? How on earth is he asking me to make sure I would give up my car and clothes to him.' Anthony for the first time in his life was afraid, he didn't know what he was going to do to Nathan. "You know, we could be civil about this and not act like kids."

The crowd was silent. They were still trying to grasp what was happening right in front of them. There was no way they would even want to believe that Nathan was throwing Anthony around like a rag doll, and from the looks of things, he was not going to let him go soon. "I know the people of Caldor think you are invincible, I will make sure you don't walk away here without paying for the nonsense you tried to pull here." Nathan was looking at Anthony, at first he had no intention of making his presence known to anyone but it was clearly going down the drain. With his action, his face had been marked. Anthony was looking at Nathan, he had rage in his heart and there was no way he would be letting go. He managed to look Nathan in the eye as he began to speak. "I don't know how you think you would be able to walk out of this place without me hunting you down. I will see to it that.." "Are you still talking?" Nathan looked at him, he was not in any way happy to hear the man's voice and

"Bloodshed?" Elena stared at Nathan, she knew he was not joking but for him to say that there was going to be bloodshed meant that there was going to be someone who would try to speak against him or even try to get to stop what he was planning to do. "Yes, I know that I have paid for the heirloom, but I also want to find out who sold it to them and how the person obtained it." Nathan sat down; he was not in a jolly mood. He had drawn attention to himself, and he was trying to think of a way to ensure that he would take the heirloom and get the information he needed. "Oh I see, you don't want the Keaton family to play with you and you also want to make sure that they see that you are serious." Elena was trying to understand something but she had already heard what he had in mind. "So I see there is no way for anyone to stop you. I only pray they don't anger that much, but knowing who they are." "I hope they do. I have been looking for an excuse to let loose. Doing General work does

Nathan was looking at the man sitting on the chair, he looked like a normal man but there was no telling what dirty things he had on his mind. "So you're the one that paid the ridiculous amount for that amulet." The man said he looked delighted to see Nathan there in front of him. "It is nice to see you." Nathan didn't know what he wanted to say to him but he was there for the amulet and he was not going to leave until he was sure that he had it. "So to who do I owe the honor?" Nathan was looking at the man, he knew that there was something he would ask him to do. "The name’s James, James Keaton." James introduced himself, he was expecting Nathan to cower in fear when he heard the name Keaton but he got nothing from Nathan. "It's good to see you, Mr. Keaton, I heard you wanted to see me before I got the amulet." Nathan didn't waste time to head to what he came for, he wanted to be on his way faster than possible. "Oh yes, I wanted to see you. It's not every time that you would s

The entire room was turned upside down, the guards were beaten up and they had sent for backup trying to make sure they would kill Nathan before he was going to kill James. “What is this man?! He is not human! Not in any way!” One of the men watching through the surveillance camera said, he was looking at how Nathan was able to move like he was a free being and he was going to make sure that he got his hand on James. James stood there, his soul had left his body when he saw Nathan kill the first three men with his bare hands. He had struck his hand on their neck breaking their spine in an instant. James thought there was no way Nathan would be able to do anything to him but then he saw there was a pure difference between man and beast but Nahan was not in that line. He was above it, he had taken it to another level, and the way he was able to make sure that he would kill the men in front of him whilst avoiding death. “You know, I would have been open to walking out of here if you

He was always trying to see what he would do next. Nathan was the one who made all their lives change for the better, so betraying him like that was not even in his mind.

I will make sure that none of them can run from me when the time comes.’ Nathan was looking at the list of the people that he was going to be taking down. All of them had a particular heirloom he wanted, and he was not going to let it all slide like it was nothing to him. He was going to be dealing with them differently, but he was still going to make sure that every one of them would understand what it means to go through the same pain as he did. “I will be sure that they will not see me coming, and this is going to be the first time in a while I am going to let loose like last night.” He was looking at the list, and he could see that there was something a bit different.

The incident at the party made people wonder who Natthan was and why he was the one who. Liu was quick to defend him, and the man who was sent out of the party was none other than the heir of the Johnson family. He was angry that someone like Nathan could even think of touching him; he was not going to stand for it. When he got home, the first thing he did was tell his father what had happened there. “Impossible! Are you saying that Liu ignored you for that nobody and disgraced you there?!” His father was equally angry, and they were not going to be standing for something like that.

He was not going to be putting it on anyone to look after him or even follow him around to make sure that he was safe and all that; he was not the type of person to even think of help when things were going bad. ‘I need to know what they would be planning on doing, but then this is not going to be easy in any way, and I am not going to be seeing them coming my way.’ Nathan was sure that something more would be coming his way, and it would be to make sure that they would take him down. Nathan looked around, and he didn't see Elena and Rachel there. He knew that she might have taken her down to the Potter mansion, but he was not going to be worried about that. ‘I don't know what is going to be bringing her back here immediately.’ Nathan was not even thinking about anything other than the fact that he was going

He was not sure what he was capable of or what he could do but he was trying to see if he was going to be able to get close to him. He then saw when Nathan was going to the balcony, he followed him. It was not the best idea but he was not going to let him walk away like that he was going to look for something that would give him an idea of who it was he was facing so he would be able to do something to him. “He can't be someone that my hands can't break, he might think that he is invincible but I am going to make sure that he will be broken so bad that when he would think of doing anything again he would be scared of the Keaton family.” Michael thought to himself, determined to make Nathan pay for his atrocities he was not going to let anything slide. “Next time if you want to kill me, go for the head.

He gave Elena a nod, Elena understood what he was trying to tell her. “Rachel let's get out of here before things get out of hand.” She was trying to see if she would be able to get her to follow her so there wouldn't be a problem.
