I Am Unstoppable Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Dead End
As the tip of the sword came in Jonathan’s direction, he performed his unique skill, Antelope Lily, in the split second of danger.
His body swirled at the speed of a goat dashing down a cliff. As if he was a ghost, he dodged the sword and appeared behind Lily in a blink of an eye.
Turning around immediately, Lily wielded her sword again at lightning speed. The moment Jonathan stretched out his arm, Lily’s sword came slashing at it.
As the two sides engaged in a sudden fierce battle, they twisted and turned vigorously. However, Cyclops, who was watching at the side, gaped when he saw the imminent danger closing on Jonathan. He almost forgot to breathe.
Jonathan did not dodge Lily’s attack. Instead, he blocked the sword with his bare arm.
The sight startled Lily as she never expected Jonathan to use his body as a shield to take the hit. However, she was not frightened by the sudden twist and drew her sword through his arm without mercy, intending to cut off Jonathan’s arm. She believed no matter how strong and skillful one was, one could not win against her sharp sword.
Her confidence was overflowing at that moment.
A loud swoosh sounded.
Jonathan’s arm was amputated in an instant.
However, Lily instantly felt something was amiss as she realized she had not exerted much force at all. It turned out she had sliced off Jonathan’s sleeves.
Right then, Jonathan extended his arm from the inside of his sleeves, as if a dragon emerging from the sea. With a loud thud, he hit Lily’s wrist with all his might.
Her arm turned numb immediately, causing her to lose her grip on her sword.
Jonathan grabbed the chance to land a hit on her chest. With a loud thump, Lily coughed out a mouthful of blood as she flew backward and slumped to the ground, unable to help herself up.
Then, Jonathan kicked her green sword up into the air and grabbed onto it. Clank! With both hands, he broke the sword into three. Without batting an eye, Jonathan then threw the broken pieces aside.
When Lily witnessed that, her face turned as pale as a sheet before she coughed out another mouthful of blood. She had an unbreakable bond with her sword. She would have it next to her when she slept every night. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Now that her sword was broken by Jonathan, Lily plunged into utter devastation.
Then, Jonathan stared at Lily with furrowed brows as he contemplated what he should do with her. Of course, he was not a ridiculous person who would allow Lily to be his mistress. If he were to handle things the way he would in Smealand, death was the only choice for Lily. However, since they were not in Smealand, he just wanted to live peacefully and did not want to take anyone’s life.
Should I let Lily go? However, I bet Leonardo wouldn’t let this matter slide easily. No, I shouldn’t kill her. If I did, then Leonardo would have more reasons to come at me.
After pondering for a while, Jonathan said to Lily, “Go tell Leonardo that everything is your fault. I don’t intend to be your enemy. This matter ends here. If he wishes to continue, don’t blame me for being merciless then. My tolerance has limits after all.”
Struggling to get up, Lily then gave Jonathan a death glare before she turned and left.
I can’t believe a beautiful woman like her is so rude. You came to kill me only to fail at it. Now you’re harboring hatred toward me? Do you wish for me to kill you instead? Will that satisfy you then?
After Lily left, Cyclops was panicking at the side. He said to Jonathan shamelessly, “I didn’t realize you are so capable, Jon. If it weren’t for your help today, I would be dead. Thank you for helping me despite our past grievances. You’re a virtuous person indeed.”
As Jonathan was not quite fond of Cyclops, he just muttered, “It’s nothing. You should know very well I didn’t save you just because I’m virtuous.”
Feeling a little embarrassed, Cyclops asked, “What should I do now?”
“Leave Horington tonight. It was Leonardo who wanted to kill you. Head southeast to the headquarters of Strikezone Martial Arts. Leonardo is one of the disciples there. He will not cause troubles there,” ordered Jonathan.
Cyclops’ eyes lit up. What a great idea! At that moment, he admired Jonathan’s intelligence even more.
Then, Jonathan returned to the room he rented.
He felt frustrated. The matter happened because of Cyclops. It was an unexpected disaster that he could not avoid. Furthermore, he was afraid Leonardo would not let the matter slide easily. What aggravated him more was that he could not do anything but passively defend himself.
To protect Yasmin in the country, he had to be a law-abiding citizen without any criminal records.
Under these circumstances, Jonathan dared not meet Leonardo. The place where Leonardo resided now was like a lion’s den. There was no guarantee Jonathan could walk out alive after entering.
Then, another idea dawned on him, which was to ask a highly respected senior in martial arts to act as a mediator.
However, it was not an easy task to find someone with such capabilities. Leonardo wasn’t entirely involved in the martial arts world. Instead, he was more of a businessman. Thus, he would not accept a mediation that easily.
As Jonathan ran out of ideas, he decided to go with the flow and see how things would unfold. Now that Cyclops was gone, he had no idea what other reasons Leonardo would use to find trouble with him.
After he went back to his room, Jonathan switched on the light. Tossing his shirt aside, he took a whiff of the room and noticed a hint of Jennifer’s scent lingering in the air.
When he thought of her, rage started simmering within him.
I was so close to getting laid. Cyclops, you idiot! You shouldn’t have come.
He then wondered if he could go see her now to satisfy his desires.
The weather was hot during summer, and so was the desire burning within him.
Although he thought about it, Jonathan knew he would not do something so shameless. Even though he had a lust for Jennifer and wanted her to himself, he told himself he should never hurt her. Else, he would not have told her the truth honestly.
In other words, Jonathan was not the kind of man who would hurt women.
In the past, when he frequented the bars, he only messed around with girls who gave their consent willingly. The next day he would pay the women a large sum of money for the one-night stand.
Thus, there were no women who held grudges against Jonathan. On the contrary, some women couldn’t get over Jonathan and even visited the bar he frequented to meet up with him.
However, Jennifer was different from all those women. Thus, it was not that simple to sleep with Jennifer.
Feeling hopeless, Jonathan could only picture Jennifer’s beautiful figure in his mind as his hand slipped into his pants. Only then did he satisfy his desires, and he went to bed peacefully.
The next morning was a bright and sunny day.
The blazing sun hung in Horington’s sky while the salty tang of the sea saturated the air. As the prosperous city was located on the coastline, it was beautiful and a great place to stay at.
Jonathan drove to Polly’s coffee house to tell her about the incident last night.
Polly was stunned to hear that and said, “Leonardo will not let the matter slide easily. What are you planning to do?”
Feeling frustrated, Jonathan replied, “What could I even do?”
“You could look for a senior to mediate,” suggested Polly.
“I had the same idea, but who should I look for?”
“This is not a trivial matter. Neither you nor I keep in contact with the seniors of the martial arts world. They might refuse to help even if we ask them to. Besides, everyone knows this is a complicated matter. No one would want to mind our business for nothing,” exclaimed Polly.
Jonathan agreed and added, “You’re right, and I wouldn’t want to beg for someone’s help.”
“Be careful then,” muttered Polly.
Nodding, Jonathan asked worriedly again, “What do you think Leonardo’s next move would be?”
The question had Polly deep in thoughts.
After the both of them racked their heads and failed to think of anything, they dropped the matter.
Then, Jonathan bid farewell to Polly and headed to Rose Couture.
When he arrived, Donald informed Jonathan right away, “Ms. Smith is waiting for you at her office.”
Jonathan rubbed his nose. Why is she looking for me again?
Nodding, he then replied, “All right. I’ll head over now.”
Everything was running smoothly at Rose Couture. On his way to the office, Jonathan ran into Jossie, who treated him very well as she knew he was now a famous figure. However, that was just one of the reasons. The main reason was that she found Jonathan manly and charming.
The two of them flirted as they walked down the corridor. With that, Jonathan even mustered the courage to grope Jossis’ butt and enjoyed it.
Not only was Jossie not offended at all, but she also teased him, making his heart flutter.
Coincidentally, when Jonathan arrived at the CEO’s office, he encountered Jessica.
This silly girl is back too.
Jessica was wearing a red dress, and she looked as beautiful as a fairy. Feeling shy, her cheeks turned red when she caught sight of Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Yasmin, who was dressed in a white suit, looked professional and composed.
“Jonathan, you jerk. You’re late again. I’m cutting your pay,” Jessica snarled as she clenched her fists.
Seeing how Jessica looked well, he felt relieved. Giggling, he joked, “Please do as you may, but you’re stuck with me if I am too broke to marry anyone else.”
Jessica snorted and uttered, “Nonsense! Someone as pretty as me is definitely out of your league.”
Jonathan refuted with a grin, “No way. You’re lucky to have someone like me.”
Jessica spat and said, “Keep dreaming! Let me tell you something. If girls were clothes, you wouldn’t be able to afford a branded one like me.” Her words made Jonathan smirk as he said, “I don’t wear women’s clothes, but I like women who don’t.”
Jessica’s cheeks and ears flushed in an instant. “You’re a pervert, Jonathan!”
As Yasmin watched their conversation gradually turn inappropriate, she let out a fake cough and exclaimed, “That’s enough, the both of you. Will it kill you to stop bickering whenever you guys meet for once?”
Jonathan chuckled at her words before sitting down next to Jessica. Jessica did not really harbor hatred toward Jonathan, so she did not move away when Jonathan sat next to her.
Yasmin then paused for a second before saying, “Jonathan, the reason I called you here today is to share some good news with you.”
Her words made Jonathan slightly startled. He asked, “What good news?”
Flashing him a smile, Yasmin revealed, “We should thank Jessy for this.”
Right then, Jonathan stared at Jessica in confusion.
Hesitating for a second, Jessica then explained, “I just realized my Granddad is a master fighter and has a renowned reputation in Fairlake. I have told him about our problem. He thinks that it’s not a
simple matter as it involves Strikezone Martial Arts. However, he’s willing to pay a visit to Jipsdale with some other seniors to talk with Leonardo from Young Corporation. We hope that we could talk it out and solve the dispute.”
