Chapter 150
Mabel smiled but did not deny. “D*mn! Are you really at the Celestial Soul level?” asked Jonathan.
Mabel replied, “I'll leave it up to your imagination.”
Jonathan could not help but feel somewhat dejected. He thought he was a good fighter, but Jonathan's self-confidence was shattered after witnessing Logan and Mabel fight.
Nevertheless, that only lasted for a second. He was, after all, a person with determination.
At the moment, Jonathan was hungry. He chirped, “Let's go out and eat.”
“You go on your own. I've eaten,” Mabel answered.
“Mabel, you can't be serious. What if Logan and Bianca come back for me? I can't deal with them alone,” Jonathan said annoyedly.
Mabel let out a chuckle and said, “Do you see me as your bodyguard that protects you twenty-four hours a day? Most importantly, you're not giving me anything in return for protecting you.”
“Ah. You won't need my money even if I want to pay you. Furthermore, talking about money is tacky. It might ruin our relationship. But, I have something precious to me. I'm just worried that you don't want it,” Jonathan said confidently.
“Oh, please. Isn't your virginity the most precious thing? You lost it a long time ago anyway,” Mabel responded.
Jonathan was rendered speechless. He was indeed about to mention his virginity. However, he just wanted to tease Mabel, and it was true that he had slept with many women. Wow, impressive! How did she know what I wanted to say? She said it before I had the chance to say anything.
Jonathan could only raise his hands to show that he was defeated. “Fine, you win.”
After that, Mabel said in a serious tone, “I'm busy with other things these days, so I can't protect you all the time. Today is your lucky day. I was sleeping in my room when Logan and Bianca strutted into my house. Thus, I hid my aura to see what they were up to. Logan was too confident when he assumed no one was at home since he did not sense anything.”
Jonathan thought that it had been a thrilling and dangerous day.
“Then, what do you think I should do? I can't fight both Logan and Bianca if they attack me simultaneously,” he asked Mabel.
“Your marksmanship is highly accurate, isn't it. I'll give you a custom-made gun. Use it to protect yourself.”
After Jonathan heard that, his eyes lit up. That's a great idea!
Then, Mabel returned to her room. After some time, she came out with a shiny black revolver and passed it to Jonathan. “This is the latest development from the military, and it has great lethal power. It uses mercury bullets. The mercury will immediately burst when it comes in contact with a person. No matter how powerful a person is, they won't survive if this bullet hits them. There are six rounds in total, so take it easy.”
Jonathan took over the revolver delightfully. As a skilled marksman, he knew that it was a powerful weapon the moment he touched it. “What happens if I kill Logan and Bianca?” Jonathan could not help but ask.
“If you kill them, it'd be considered self-defense, and we'll ensure your safety. However, as long as you don't join the Divine Realm, Jeremy will find ways to hunt you down. We can't protect you forever. Thus, it's a pressing matter that you join Divine Realm.”
“But the exam would still take a month!” Jonathan exclaimed.
“As long as you're nominated to be an exam candidate, Jeremy will never go near you. No one dares to harm the candidates of Divine Realm because we won't know which one of the candidates will be a genius and stand a chance to be an outstanding inner disciple. Just like what the president of Anglandur said in his speech, all school buses are significant since he doesn't know whether the future president is in any of the school buses,” Mabel explained.
Jonathan nodded in agreement. After listening to Mabel's explanation, courage rose in his heart as he kept the revolver and headed downstairs for dinner. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Just as Jonathan was about to go out, Mabel said, “Remember to buy me supper.”
Jonathan was infuriated upon hearing that. “I thought you said you've eaten. Come with me if you want to eat.”
“I just want to laze around at home. Do I need to report to you?” Mabel giggled.
Jonathan was speechless at her response.
After he left the residential area, Jonathan found a stall nearby. He ordered two servings of ravioli, two chicken drumsticks, and a bottle of cold beer. Jonathan was satisfied after he had devoured everything. All his worries, concerns, and emotions were swept away in that instant. Nothing can make me feel depressed for long!
After Jonathan had finished eating, he ordered a serving of ravioli, one serving of escargot, and cold beer to go for Mabel.
Only Jonathan would think of drinking cold beer during the winter.
Along the way, he bought some roasted bell peppers for Mabel too. Jonathan headed back to her house after buying the food.
Mabel was delighted to see all the food and started to eat. She enjoyed the peppery escargot and gulped down the cold beer. “I don't buy food from roadside stalls often. I didn't expect everything to taste so good!” Mabel exclaimed.
Jonathan cackled. “Well, good food is everywhere around us, even at roadside stalls. The foods served in hotels are just fancy-looking.”
After Mabel finished, Jonathan retired to his room and practiced as usual. Halfway through his practice, Jonathan got up and ran to Mabel's room. He then knocked on her door.
It was two o'clock in the morning, and his knocking awakened Mabel. She could not help but feel annoyed. “What do you want, rascal? I'm not lonely, so I don't need your companionship.”
Jonathan burst into laughter after hearing her response. “Let me ask you something serious, Mabel.”
“What is it?” Mabel asked.
“Are you still a virgin?” inquired Jonathan.
Mabel snapped in embarrassment, “Are you crazy? Get out of my sight!”
Jonathan chuckled. “Okay, I'm just joking.” He paused for a while before continuing, “I was practicing spirit flow and thought of a question. I'm currently in the state of transforming spirit to vigor, and what comes next will be the transformation of vigor to spirit. Then what comes after that? Am I going to transform spirit into vigor again? Will I have to repeat this cycle over and over?”
Mabel immediately remarked, “What the heck?” She paused before saying, “Next, you'll transform spirit into energy, energy into essence, and essence into a void.”
Jonathan did not understand a word. His mind was in a state of confusion.
Seeing that Jonathan was puzzled, Mabel continued, “It's hard for you to understand everything now. What you have to do now is to transform vigor into spirit. Previously, spirit entered your body, but that's not your true spirit. After changing the nature of the vigor within, it will have your spiritual imprint, and that can then truly be called the transformation of vigor to spirit. As for the subsequent transformation of spirit to energy, you'll gradually come to understand it. In short, you must remember that we live because of our spirits. We're also cultivating our spirits. Without it, we'll not be alive. It's our energy, the air we breathe, and why we're alive. Spirit is the same as Destino Art; it's everywhere around us. Spirit and Destino Art are things that we'll never truly understand and will never be able to pursue fully.”
Listening to Mabel's explanation, Jonathan was in awe. “I understand now.” After that, he went back to his room and focused on cultivating.
The next day, it was bright and sunny in Yaleview.
At Vipod Residence, none of the girls were playing poker. They each had their own worries. Jennifer was heartbroken. Despite that, she was grateful that Jonathan had come into her life. That was because Jonathan's feelings for her were sincere, and he respected her, too. If it weren't for his sincerity, he would have long done nasty things to her.
However, Jonathan had never done anything bad to her.
Though he was a lackadaisical person, Jonathan was a real gentleman.
As for Amber and Jessica, there was a twinge of bitterness that they could not explain. They did not want Jonathan to get married, yet they were in no position to stop him as they were just friends with him.
On the other hand, Yasmin was worried about company matters. She could not feel at ease since Jonathan was always out of the company. Yasmin worried for Jonathan, too.
On the contrary, Arthur was calm. He could see that Amber was unhappy, and he had asked her about it, but Amber refused to tell him the reason.
Knowing that his granddaughter could handle herself, Arthur did not pry into her privacy.
The sun shone brightly at eleven o'clock in the morning.
Arthur was reading the newspaper while enjoying the sun in his backyard.
Just then, a security guard passed him the phone and said, “Commander Johnson, Old Mr. Young is on the phone.”
Arthur was slightly startled. He knew that the relationship between the Young family and him was rather strange. It was all because of Leonardo's passing. Jonathan ended Leonardo's life in the ring, Amber had feelings for Jonathan, and Mabel from the sixth division valued Jonathan. It was a complicated relationship. Hence, Arthur had become distant from Aaron.
“Hello, Aaron!” Arthur answered the phone without hesitation and laughed.
Aaron smiled too on the other end of the line and said, “Commander Johnson, it has been some time since our last chess game.”
“I've heard about what happened to Leonardo. Ah. Life is unpredictable. I'm sorry for your loss, Aaron,” Arthur replied as he let out a sigh.
Aaron's voice became raspy, but he answered in an instant, “Thank you for your concern, Commander Johnson. It's probably my fate and also my grandson's fate.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “By the way, are you free now, Commander Johnson? If you're free, I would like to visit you and have a chat.”
Arthur was slightly taken aback after he heard what Aaron said. After all, he did not know what Aaron was up to. Arthur was not close with Aaron. They had only played a few games of chess before.
However, Arthur would not be able to reject Aaron's request. “Sure. You can come any time,” Arthur responded.
With that, he hung up the phone.
Arthur was not worried that Aaron would harm him. It would be the end of the Young family if that happened. Furthermore, the matter concerning Leonardo had nothing to do with him. Aaron could not put the blame on him.
An hour later, the secret security system guarding Vipod Residence reported, “Commander Johnson, Aaron and Bianca are here. Are they allowed to enter?”
Arthur was flabbergasted. He had heard from Mabel that Bianca was the biggest trouble. He certainly did not expect Aaron to bring Bianca along.
