I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 204

Lailah said, “When we're outside, there's no need to call me Ms. Hall. We're peers, so just call me Lailah.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Jonathan was slightly stunned before he replied, “I don't think I have the right to call you that yet.”

A smile formed on her face. “Stop saying stuff like that. Anyone can tell you're an arrogant person.”

He chuckled and called her, “Lailah.”

With a serious expression, she uttered, “I am aware of your current predicament, and I think I know a way to help you out.”

“Pray tell.” Jonathan's eyes sparkled.

“Of course, this plan of mine largely serves my interest, but it can help you out as well.”

Her words intrigued him. “What's the plan?”

“I have a dual-level mission, and I want you to complete it with me. Once it's done, you'll take the target with you to claim the reward. If you do, you'll ascend to Silver rank. Also, the dual-level mission's reward is three Heaven Pills. I'll take one, and you can have the rest.”

Jonathan stared at her, puzzled. “Aren't you basically just handing me what I want on a silver platter? I don't understand why you're approaching me with this matter.”

“I knew you would get suspicious. I told you, this method can help you. Besides, this arrangement

benefits me more, so no, I'm not giving you what you want for nothing. You must understand that the Heaven Pills will help you ascend to greater heights in your cultivation and put you in the Silver rank. Once you achieve that, It'll be easier for you to do a lot of things in the future. Additionally, with the two of us together, I can help you kill Lucio if he comes looking for trouble.”

Jonathan was a shrewd man, so he wasn't immediately moved by the benefits Lailah was mentioning. “What kind of mission is this, Lailah? I see a lot of benefits here, but I have to be alive to claim them. I think it's better if we discuss this transparently today. This way, there won't be any suspicions between us when we work together.”

“This dual-level mission involves finding a book called the Sinai Bible in King Sergiu's temple. I have a matter that requires the usage of the Sinai Bible, so once we get the book, I'll keep it for three days. After that, you can hand it to Divine Realm.”

Hearing that shocked him. “King Sergiu's Sinai Bible?”

The moment he heard the mission goal, he knew exactly how difficult it was going to be. This is definitely a dual-level mission!

Lailah nodded.

A bitter smile formed on his face as he rubbed his nose. “The treasures of King Sergiu have been mentioned many times throughout history. For centuries, people had been looking for this treasure, but nobody found it. King Sergiu and his seventy-two demons are just a myth. I don't think the thing you're looking for is real. If we just search for it rashly, won't we get sealed off?”

“The value of three Heaven Pills is priceless. Do you think it's that easy to get them?”

“How about we look for the Sinai Bible first? Once we find it, we'll take on the mission. This way, we can avoid the risk of getting sealed off altogether.”

“If this works, I wouldn't have asked you for help. In any mission, there are hints that will guide people to the mission goal. It's the same for King Sergiu's Sinai Bible. We'll only be able to see the important hints once we take on the mission.”

“In that case, how about you take on the mission by yourself, and I'll go looking for it with you? Once we find the Sinai Bible, you can just give me a Heaven Pill.”

Without hesitation, Lailah rejected, “No!”

Jonathan laughed dryly. I knew it wasn't going to work, but it was worth a shot, anyway. There's no way anyone is foolish enough to take on all the risk while letting someone else get a portion of the benefits.

“You should know about this, Jonathan. Your cultivation may be impressive, but it's not that good when compared to mine. I willingly chose you and agreed to help you deal with Lucio because I value your luck. Luck is the most important thing we need to find the Sinai Bible. Why would I be talking to you if I'm not here to invite you to join me? You're the Chosen One, and I don't believe the heavens will let you get sealed off when your journey had just started not too long ago. Since you won't get sealed off when you choose to take on the mission, then the only outcome is that we'll find the Sinai Bible.”

“Luck is a vague, immaterial thing. What if my luck's not good enough? Then both of us will be screwed.”

“There's always a risk for anything we do. If you don't want any risk at all, you can just stay in the mountains of Chanaea. No one will disturb you there.”

Inside Jonathan's mind, he began to weigh the pros and cons.

Then, he asked, “Why me? Aren't there many Chosen Ones in Divine Realm beside me? There's also Simon, whose cultivation is stronger than mine and is also a Chosen One. So, why me?”

“It's simple. I've been researching you, and your recent development has shown me that your luck is the most powerful. There are differences among the Chosen Ones. Some of them are only destined to prop others up, while others are fated to be kings.”

A bitter smile was visible on his face. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me.” He paused, then continued, “Fine, I'll go find the Sinai Bible with you.”

Lailah was slightly surprised. “Why did you suddenly agree to it so decisively?”

With a chuckle, he answered, “It's because I no longer have any questions about what we're doing.”

A look of approval flashed past her eyes. “Good. In that case, you should return and prepare yourself. Tomorrow morning, we'll grab the mission and head out.”

“Sounds good!”

When their discussion concluded, their meals arrived.

Lailah began focusing on eating.

As Jonathan glanced at her, he thought she wasn't as cold as she used to be during the evaluation. Instead, she had become much more approachable.

Additionally, she was really pretty.

His line of sight slowly moved downward and arrived at the bountiful assets under her white woolen shirt. Wow, it looks bigger than Catherine's.

Just as he was about to finish eating, he used his visit to the restroom as an excuse to pay the bills.

Despite what he said, he didn't have the habit of letting a woman pay for a meal.

When Lailah finished her meal, she called for the waiter to pay the bills. The moment the waiter told her the bill had been paid, she realized what was going on. There wasn't any change in her expression, but she still felt pleased because that was a gesture of respect from Jonathan.

Women enjoyed being respected like that. They wouldn't mind paying the bills, but they would mind not being respected.

After that, Lailah drove Jonathan back to the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, he returned to his room and saw that Catherine was eating a hearty lunch with Alicia.

Elijah and Lesley were there, too. With a resigned tone, Elijah spoke to Jonathan. “I wanted to invite everyone to a meal downstairs, but your wife refused.”

Chuckling, Jonathan said, “It's fine.”

Alicia stood up obediently and greeted, “Jonathan.”

He smiled. “Just enjoy your lunch.”

In response, she sat back down obediently.

Sweeping his gaze across the room, he asked, “Why is Simon not here?”

Lesley smiled wryly and informed, “Simon's a training freak. He doesn't have time to eat.”

“I need to find him first. Once you two finish your meals, come and find me. I have something to tell you all.”

Both Elijah and Lesley were slightly surprised and quickly put down their forks. “We'll join you now since we're pretty much full.”

“Sounds good.”

Catherine wasn't curious about it and continued to eat lunch with Alicia.

The three men arrived at Simon's room.

Simon was sitting crossed-legged on a couch. Subsequently, he opened his eyes and put his legs down.

After turning on the laptop sitting on the coffee table, Jonathan typed in a web address. After a while, the Divine Realm website was displayed on the screen. He quickly searched through the mission board to find the Sinai Bible mission.

Then, he informed, “Lailah was looking for me today. She asked me to join her on a mission to look for the Sinai Bible. Once the mission is completed, I'll claim the mission reward and hand only one Heaven Pill to her.”

“You agreed to it?” Simon asked the most important question.

With a nod, Jonathan replied, “Yes, I did.”

“The mission is going to be difficult. However, since you already agree to it, there's nothing much any of us can say.”

“Indeed, it will be really dangerous. However, as dangerous as it is, I can't pass up this opportunity and drag things out any longer.” Jonathan paused for a while before he continued, “Here's my plan. Once Lailah and I take on the mission and confirm that Lucio is joining too, you three can pick other missions. Let's all try our best to reach Silver rank as quickly as possible.”

“Sounds good!”

That was the end of the discussion.

After Jonathan returned to his room, he talked about the matter with Catherine.

She said, “I'm coming with you.”

“No, you can't,” he rejected seriously. “This mission is far too difficult. If we can't find the bible, then everyone doing this mission will be sealed off. I just need you to help me take Alicia back to Grandpa's side. Also, you need to consume the Spirit Gathering Pill and reach the realm of Celestial Soul as soon as possible.”

He didn't ask for much from her. As long as she reached the realm of Celestial Soul and was a Silver rank member, she would be able to stay in the Divine Realm or home safely. As for any other matters, he would take care of them himself.

Catherine insisted, “I want to come with you.”

However, Jonathan was more stubborn than her. “You must listen to me on this matter, all right?”

In the end, she could only nod in agreement because she didn't want to upset him.

Seeing how dejected she appeared to be, he felt his heart clench. In response, he gently pinched her cheek and said, “I promise you, I'll return safely to your side.”

She nodded. “Okay!”

After the conversation, he let out a sigh of relief. He proceeded to search for any information about King Sergiu online with his laptop.
