I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 188

Catherine turned and looked at Jonathan in confusion.

“Come here,” he said hastily.

She obediently approached and squatted in front of him, her gaze fixed firmly on him.

“Aren't you afraid of dying?” Jonathan asked.

Catherine shook her head. “I don't know what fear feels like.”

Jonathan fell silent for a moment before smiling at her gently. “All right. Since you're not afraid of death as well, let's try to survive together. We're husband and wife, after all. Whatever happens, no matter if we live or die, let's stay together, okay?”

Catherine's eyes lit up. She nodded fervently and replied without hesitation, “Okay!”

Jonathan let out a long sigh of relief.

Elijah and Lesley sighed in relief as well.

However, Simon still sat there with his eyes closed, concentrating on healing his injuries.

Meanwhile, Catherine sat cross-legged next to Jonathan quietly and obediently.

Jonathan's heart was at peace.

He did not think that Catherine lacked emotions. She was just a little colder and slower than others. However, it did not mean that she did not have feelings.

Choosing Simon as her first target earlier was proof of that.

It clearly showed that she had a better relationship with Elijah and Lesley.

If I survive this, I swear I will be better to Catherine. I will treat her like my actual wife.

Time slowly ticked away.

Everyone had fallen into a rare silence, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the tenth day, rays of sunlight pierced through the layers of clouds in the sky.

Soon after, a military aircraft emerged from the clouds.

Jonathan had recovered all of his vital energy. He and Catherine were completely fine. Simon, Elijah, and Lesley, on the other hand, were still heavily injured.

All of them felt a mixture of emotions when they saw the arrival of the military aircraft.

While they were excited, they could not help feeling anxious at the same time because this would determine who got to keep their lives.

The military aircraft quickly descended on the beach, sand swirling along with the wind.

The cabin door of the military aircraft opened, and Lailah, dressed in a crisp military uniform, stepped through it.

She approached the group with two people in tow.

Lailah gave them a sweeping glance before turning to Jonathan. “Where are the rest?”

“They're dead,” he answered in a low voice.

Lailah did not even flinch at his words. “All right, then. The five of you have officially passed this test. Get into the military aircraft. In three days, we will hold the Admission Ceremony, where you will officially become external disciples of the Divine Realm. Congratulations!”

Everyone stared at her, momentarily stunned. When the shock wore off, they celebrated inwardly.

We're okay! And we got selected!

They had been worried that someone would come to get rid of them.

The group helped each other up the ramp and into the military aircraft.

Soon after, the military aircraft took off.

All of them sat there in silence but had some burning questions they wanted to ask. However, Jonathan pressed his lips together, forcing himself to keep quiet.

Lailah's eyes swept over them. “You guys must be wondering why all of you have been selected even though we said that we would only allow one person to pass.”

Jonathan nodded. “Yes, we are.”

“It's simple. Divine Realm needs intelligent and powerful people in its ranks. The rules will never change, but that doesn't mean the people won't. We need you guys to figure out the hidden meaning and then break the rules.”

Jonathan had been pondering over that for a while, but he was still unsure. He could not hold back his comment. “But you guys were the ones who implemented the rules. Even if we could figure out the hidden meaning, none of us would be willing to risk our lives for that. It's safest to act according to your rules.”

“You're right.” Lailah paused before continuing, “The battle took place on Ophidian Island because it has dense jungles and is surrounded by the ocean. If you can't beat your opponent, you could choose to hide in the forest or the ocean. If you die, then it's because you have bad luck. No matter how intelligent a person is, nothing matters if luck isn't on their side. The actual rule of this competition was to allow all who survived to pass.”

After hearing her words, Jonathan had a clearer picture of what the Divine Realm was.

Everyone's doubts had been cleared as well.

Three hours later, the military aircraft landed at Yaleview military base.

They each threw on a jacket for warmth and got off the military aircraft.

“You may explore Yaleview freely for the next three days. On the day of the ceremony, we will meet in Jadeborough Hotel Room 408. Be there at eight in the morning. Don't be late,” Lailah instructed.

Two hours later, Jonathan and Catherine returned to the Harrington residence.

The golden silkworms had been removed from their bodies by the female golden silkworm.

After experiencing a close brush with death, Jonathan and Catherine yearned to return home.

Before they set out, Jonathan called Yareth to have him charter a car to pick them up at the spot they had met earlier. Then, both of them boarded the military aircraft and went back.

As for the remaining three, they decided to stay in the base to recover from their injuries as their homes were not in Yaleview.

Harrington mansion's courtyard was covered in a thick layer of snow. The mountains and trees were also covered in fallen snow.

Jonathan held Catherine's hand as they walked through the gates of the mansion, both clad in their military jackets.

It was already one in the afternoon when they arrived.

When the couple entered the living room, they saw Yareth sitting in the main seat. His complexion was ruddy, and he smiled at them warmly.

“Grandpa!” Jonathan greeted him excitedly and announced, “Catherine and I have been selected!”

Yareth did not seem to be surprised. He smiled faintly and said, “Come and sit. I already told Bruce to prepare lunch for us. Let's have a drink while we chat.”

At the mention of food, Jonathan realized that he was starving. He had not been able to eat delicious food while he was on the island.

Ten minutes later, Bruce had laid out a lavish feast on the dining table.

Yareth poured himself and Jonathan a glass of wine. He raised it toward Jonathan and said, “Congratulations, Jonathan.”

“Thank you, Grandpa,” he immediately replied.

Catherine merely sat there and ate her food in silence.

“Was the test easy? Did you run into any difficulties?” Yareth asked.

Jonathan chuckled bitterly. “To tell you the truth, Grandpa, I thought I wouldn't be afraid of Divine Realm's tests, no matter how difficult they were. However, I suffered quite a lot in this test. I almost couldn't make it back.”

Yareth's interest had been piqued. “Oh? Let's hear it.”

Jonathan described everything that had happened in detail to Yareth.

Once he was done, Yareth looked at him in shock. “I didn't expect Divine Realm to make the test this dangerous. Both of you were very lucky to have survived.”

Jonathan gave him a small smile. “I guess you can say it was a blessing in disguise. I did gain some things from it.”

Yareth returned his smile. “Yes, that's good to hear.”

He fell silent afterward.

Jonathan enjoyed the lunch very much.

After the meal was over, Jonathan and Catherine returned to their room.

He let Catherine take a shower first.

Once she was done, he went in for his shower.

When he exited the bathroom, he saw Catherine sitting on the bed. Her hair was still wet, droplets of water dripping off the ends.

She just sat there quietly, lost in her thoughts.

Jonathan no longer treated Catherine like a stranger. His actions were more intimate and affectionate, despite himself being unaware of it.

He strode over to the bed and pinned her down.

They were very close to each other, to the point where they could feel each other's warm breaths.

Catherine gazed up at Jonathan, her eyes shining brightly.

Jonathan could not take it anymore. He bent down and kissed her soft lips. Gently stroking her cheek, he whispered, “You silly girl. What are you thinking about?”

She shook her head and replied, “Nothing.”

She was not being coy; she was telling the truth.

Jonathan was not annoyed by her answer as he was already used to her unique personality.

He sat up, got off the bed, and brought a hairdryer over. “Let me blow-dry your hair for you.”

Catherine nodded in response. “Sure!”

After Jonathan was done drying her hair, she turned to him and asked, “Can I go to sleep now?”

There was a warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart. She would never have asked me this in the past.

“Of course, but only if you give me a goodnight kiss.”

Catherine immediately leaned over and pressed her lips to his. With that, she quickly burrowed herself under the thick blanket. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jonathan chuckled to himself. Oh my. Is she shy? Well, it doesn't matter. She has changed quite a bit, but I'm pretty happy about it.

He suddenly felt very energetic.

Jonathan pulled a white sweater over his head and left the room. He got into one of the Lexus cars and drove out of the courtyard.

As he drove, Jonathan tapped on the touchscreen monitor in the car and called Yasmin.

He was concerned about Yasmin, and she was elated to receive his call.

The two of them chatted on the phone for a long time.

After that, Jonathan asked Yasmin to send his regards to Jessica and Jennifer, to which she agreed.

After ending the call with Yasmin, Jonathan dialed Amber's number.

When Amber saw Jonathan's incoming call, she was very excited. As soon as the call was connected, he told her about the things that had happened recently and the fact that he had passed the test.

Amber was overjoyed when she heard the news. “When will you be available? Let's meet up for a meal to celebrate! It'll be my treat.”

Jonathan chuckled. “Tomorrow night is fine.”

“Deal!”

After she hung up, Jonathan called Mabel.

She was also elated that he had called her. “You've gone missing for so many days! This phone call means that you passed the test, right?” The joy in her voice was evident.

Jonathan let out a light laugh and replied, “It looks like I can't keep anything from you.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “Where are you right now? Can we meet up?”

“We can if you have something important to talk about. If you don't, I'm afraid I'm a little too busy for you at the moment.”

“Yes, it's important,” Jonathan said flatly.

“All right. Where are we meeting?” She paused, thinking for a moment. “You rascal, if it turns out to be something unimportant, you're going to get it.”
