Gwen Smith drove Nathan to a nearby 7-star restaurant and directed him towards the VIP suite of the hotel. They were both sitting opposite each other, and Nathan was lost in the thoughts of Karina and his divorce.
“How couldn’t I see this coming up? We were both fine, and we had not had a discussion or an argument in a long time, at least not in the last three to six months. Why do I have the feeling something is going on without my knowledge?" Nathan pondered this for a long time and felt something was amiss. He remembered something, and he unexpectedly held his head in his hands.
How could I possibly forget that I am not supervising operations at that firm or monitoring the local news? He probed his thoughts and pulled his phone from his pocket.
“I need to know about all the recent occurrences that took place in Blackwood Company in every single detail,” he said. He sent a message to his men, kept it back inside his pocket and then averted his gaze to Gwen, who was waiting for him to lift his head and pay attention to her words.
“Mr. Nathan, are you sure that you can save my grandfather?” Gwen came directly to the point without beating around the bush.
“I can’t guarantee you anything until I meet the patient directly." Nathan didn’t give her any false hope or belief. After hearing that Nathan didn’t refuse her, she felt a bit relieved and was about to ask something else but Nathan stated,
“You already posed a question and I answered. Now it’s my turn.”
Gwen glanced at Nathan for a few seconds and understood that he was not someone to argue with, so she simply accused him of breaking his rules and indicated that she was ready to answer his question.
“Who informed you about me as a doctor?” Nathan imposed his question on her and even though he questioned her normally, Gwen was able to detect the seriousness in his tone. He had suspicions about her because, even though Lothric was a larger city than Beloberg, it was not the capital or economic center. Gwen was from one of the prominent families and was the eldest daughter so for a person like her with just an identity, it was impossible for her to recognize him as he was not well known to everyone. He hides his identity and learns everything from behind the curtains.
“I got to know about you from Delytery Hamel, who is the president of Hamel’s group." Gwen didn’t have any plans to hide it from Hamel.
Nathan's suspicions of Deltery grew after hearing her say Deletery's name and learning that he had revealed his identity. When he was thinking about it, his phone began to ring, drawing his attention, and he fetched it. When he saw the caller ID, his brow furrowed, and he immediately answered the phone.
“Why did you hit my brother?” When he connected the call, she did not let him say hello and questioned him, which irritated him.
"Ask him what he did," Nathan replied in a neutral tone that was neither angry nor arrogant.
"Whatever he did, you cannot just hit my brother like that; you are not allowed to," Karina said angrily and coldly.
Nathan did not respond to her for a few minutes before saying,
“I don’t think there is something to say. You already believe something and have convinced your heart of it, so I do not see the need to clarify or explain. So think whatever you want," he said to her before hanging up the phone, which surprised Karina because he never did this with her. He had never hung up on her before, and this was the first time. However, she does not have much free time to worry about these minor details because she is in charge of promoting collaboration between her and Smith's companies.
Even before he could put his phone back into his pocket, he received a call from Deltery and heard a man's voice.
“Give me a minute,” Nathan said to Gwen and he went away from there.
“Nathan, please forgive me and let me go. I did not do anything maliciously, but I had to carry out the order that was given to me. Please understand my situation and let me go. I am sorry for revealing your identity, but I had to do it because I want to let you know that they have a connection with your or your parent’s death," he began explaining while pleading for mercy.
Deltrie's men received a private order to detonate the bomb that killed Nathan's parents, but the group's equipment was previously strictly under control. In addition to Deltrie, only one scientific research director has the authority to activate the equipment.
“What was the relationship between the researcher of your company and the Smiyth family?” Nathan posed his question to him directly.
"He worked for the Smith family for five years before joining the Hamel group. Perhaps someone from the Smith family saw him, or someone who knows the Smith family had prepared the bomb on their own," Deltery responded. Nathan took his time analyzing everything he said after obtaining the necessary information from him, and then hung up on him.
“Let’s go,” Nathan said to Gwen after coming back to her and then they both headed towards the Belloberg Central Hospital and reached there within 20 minutes.
Gwen directly took Nathan into the VIP ward, where the old man of the Smith family was housed. The whole ward was filled with doctors. They were all helpless, not knowing what to do with him or how to treat him, as all of their efforts were going in vain.
A girl who is gorgeous and sexy, resembling Gwen, came forward and complained,
“Sister, see, all of these doctors are of no use. I am not sure how they got their doctor's license, but everyone here is useless. They are not able to cure our grandfather and they still dare to call themselves doctors. How shame on them."
“You all step aside and let Mr. Nathan treat my grandfather,” Gwen ordered everyone.
“Wait, what are you doing? How can you let a stranger treat our grandfather and how can we trust him? Ask him to prove himself so we will let him touch our grandfather,” Gwen’s sister objected to the thought of letting Nathan touch her grandfather without proof.
“Yes, she is right. How can someone without a doctor’s license treat an ill person? How can he be capable of doing that?” The doctors who were present there backed Gwen’s sister.
“He is a doctor and he is the one who was recommended by Deltery." Gwen tried to ensure that Nathan was trustworthy but her sister didn’t want to take any risks, so she stood still on her words.
“As you wish,” Nathan simply said these three words. This section can add the status of the sister being controlled.
Nathan opens his mouth, nothing happens. The younger sister was about to laugh at Nathan, but found herself gradually moving away from him. Looking down, she saw that her hands and feet were moving backwards without her control! She wanted to scream, but couldn't open her mouth. She could only stare into Nathan's eyes. Those amber pupils were playful and cold.
Gwen’s sister understood that it was the doing of Nathan and he was proving himself to her.
Gwen noticed that something was wrong with her sister's condition, but Nathan waved his hand back, and Gwen's sister immediately regained control of her body.As Gwen's sister gasped in fear, Nathan said, "I take my deal with the Smith family very seriously. Therefore, I will not do anything to your sister that would be harmful to her.""Of course, I also hope that the Smith family will keep their word once my treatment is complete." “After treating your grandfather, I need a favor from Smith’s family,” Nathan laid down his condition and then started to examine the old man.Gwen listened to Nathan and decided to remain silent because she did not want to disturb him. Nathan had been concentrating his entire attention on her grandfather, and she did not want to disturb him by speaking or in any way. As a result, she remained silent and looked at her grandfather with depression. He is the head of the family and they don’t want to let him go so soon.Nathan was examining the elderly man,
Gwen was stunned after seeing the screen, and sadness enveloped her. Her heart was heavy with grief, and she could not process the news that he had died. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she clenched her fists to contain herself and stop the flow of her emotions. She can feel her nails digging into her skin, but she is not in the mood to care.She walked quietly over to the bedside of Old Smith. Her sister burst into tears, claiming that she was the sole cause of her grandfather's death.“Take her out and give her some water to drink,” Gwen ordered her men and immediately they accompanied her sister out. Looking at how the situation has developed, the middle-aged doctor wishes to flee, but Smith's family bodyguards are not fools to let him go, even after witnessing what has just occurred. So they grounded him and didn’t let him flee away.Gwen dailed back to Nathan with only Nathan's reassurance in her mind. His greeting was audible to her when the call was established a fraction of a
“What happened?” Nathan asked the driver. He felt something was out of line.The driver, who screamed out of his lungs a few seconds ago, went silent. He looked at Gwen Smith, who was smiling a while ago and was looking at him. Gwen was also able to feel something was amiss with the driver. The driver’s Adam apple was moving up and down, indicating that he was tense about something; sweat beads were formed on his forehead even after the car’s AC was at full speed.“Are you planning to sit with your mouth shut all the time or are you going to say something?” Gwen roared. She doesn’t want someone to stay silent and waste time.“Hmm, ma’am, I am sorry,” the driver apologized in the first place. Gwen didn't understand what he was saying and Nathan was saying everything silently.“For-” The driver interrupted Gwen."Someone kidnapped my wife and daughter and kept them captive. I was forced to accept their terms and conditions in order to save them, which were to bring Miss Smith to her des
The presence of a middle-aged man with a bald head in the middle of the attackers served as a clear indication that he was the leader. A man with a masculine body and sharp eyes, he stands at a height of nearly 6 feet 2 inches. Despite the fact that he appears to be of middle age and is bald, his body language conveys the message that he is a powerful individual.A wicked smile was playing on his lips, and he came forward towards Gwen. His confident demeanor is being communicated through his slow and steady steps. He approached Gwen and looked at both Nathan and Gwen.“Hello, Miss Gwen, I am thrilled to finally meet you. Since you are here by yourself, why do you not accompany me to meet with my boss to discuss the matter? There is a look of triumph in the eyes of the gangster as he asks her question with one eyebrow raised upward.Gwen looked at him with disdain in her eyes. There was no fear in her eyes or in her face. She seemed unfazed, as if she had just arrived to pay a visit to
At that moment, the door of the gangster was open, and a figure got out of the car. It was none other than the cultivator and his whole body was concealed in a black mist.Recognizing that he won’t be able to defeat Nathan directly, he seeks a more insidious tactic to threaten Nathan with the life of Gwen.As the cultivator began his boastful tirade, the bald gangster started screaming from behind.“You don't know what he is capable of and you can’t even guess what he can do. You are feeling that you are great just by knocking on a few doors, and you know that my cultivator is stronger than you. He has killed numerous people until now who are much stronger than you. After killing so many people and killing you nothing in front of my cultivator,” the gangster started boasting about his cultivator.“Where did I land myself, and what should I do now?” Gwen experienced panic because she was unable to control her body and wasn't taking any action, but she believed that someone else was in
Seeing that his last resort failed and Gwen was back to normal, the cultivator wanted to kill himself. He already knows that failing at the hands of a mage won’t result in his being in any good condition. So he opted to kill himself.“I am going to end my life. Pardon me,” the cultivator bowed to Nathan in kneeling positions and fetched his pistol out.He glanced at Nathan for one last time, who had already turned away from the cultivator and gone to the gangster who was lying unconscious. Gwen followed the suit.“Bang,” Nathan and Gwen heard the gunshot sound from behind; the gunpowder filled all over and the smell of the firing mixed with the smell of blood filled the place. Even after hearing the sound, Nathan knows that the cultivator has already killed himself. Without even glancing at his body, he said to Gwen,“One wicket down.”“Hmm, let’s see what he says,” Gwen replied and Nathan nodded his head. He kicked the gangster in the abdomen without any mercy. Even after noticing th
Lights were flickering, a red carpet was spread across the entrance, allowing the busy people to attend, and the place was decorated beautifully. It was one of the Smith’s family properties: the Green Heart Building, a western-style hotel.Karina arrived at the venue along with her female secretary. A curvy figure with a blue shimmering frock and a cu on her thigh and V-shoulders, she was looking breath-taking.She paired the dress with a white-colored diamond necklace and matching earrings. Her eyes were tinted with blue and white eyeshades; Kajal, mascara, and a wing eye liner added a positive touch to her looks. Her lips were painted cherry red and they were looking so tempting. Everyone was stunned after looking at her beauty and murmured something among themselves. Her long, wavy black curs were left down freely.Even Karina’s assistant was stunned by the look of the hotel and they both entered the venue. While they were both chatting about business and opportunities, Alex approa
Hearing Gwen’s words, Alex felt Gwen was a fool to say that she doesn’t care about money but rather her looks. According to Alex, looks can fade away but not money. His face turned red with anger. Gwen noticed it, but she pretends that she didn’t notice it.“Young master, don’t give much attention to her words. She is just stupid to not notice you,” the female secretary of Alex tried to persuade him.Karina's thoughts, on the other hand, were going in a different direction. Hearing Gwen’s words, Karina was in a moment of shock.“Did she insult me directly or indirectly or is she saying that I only cared about money rather than caring about his extraordinary looks?” Karina thought to herself. Jer is stopped by Nathan. He is wearing a four-piece suit. with a white turtleneck shirt, a black waisit coat and a suit. His hair is gelled up and combed nicely. His sharp nose and dipped lips, along with his perfectly toned body, make him look extra handsome.Karina’s heart flustered for a secon
