I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 218

Lailah remained silent for quite a while.

Jonathan thought she wasn't going to answer his question, and he wasn't expecting her to.

To his surprise, she suddenly said, “Unlike you, I'm concerned about my background.”

Jonathan was stunned momentarily. “It's not that I'm not concerned with my background. It's just because I was never close to my parents.”

“I can't remember anything about my life before I turned seven. However, I dream about my parents when I sleep. In my dreams, I can see them clearly. My mom would cry and say I'm an evil person. My dad would also say that I'm a monster and wouldn't acknowledge me as his daughter.”

Jonathan was stunned for a moment, but he soon figured out why Lailah had her concerns. This has got to be something Lailah has never been able to overcome. She doesn't know what happened before she turned seven. Yet, her parents are scolding her in her dreams for it.

While driving, Jonathan kept formulating his sentence in his head. After a while, he asked, “Have you asked Master Gideon about it?”

“I have. However, Master Gideon just said he picked me up from the streets.”

“Do you think Master Gideon is lying?”

Lailah went quiet and didn't answer Jonathan's question. Instead, she just turned her head to look out the window.

Jonathan realized that he had overstepped his boundary. That's such a sensitive question, and it would be inappropriate for her to answer it. We're not close enough to tell each other everything.

After they went back to the hotel, they had dinner together and went back to their own rooms.

Jonathan then sat cross-legged and cultivated Ultra Sun Moon Mantra.

At last, his vitality seemed to be in perfect shape.

He had transformed vigor into spirit.

Next, he would have to transform his spirit into energy.

He needed to do that because he wanted to transform his energy into something physical.

Basically, it was like transforming an energy sword into a real sword.

It was a tough breakthrough to make.

If Simon couldn't even do it after taking four Spirit Gathering Pills, it was bound to be even harder for Jonathan.

Although they both seemed to have achieved the final stage of Nascent Soul, there was still a big difference between their strengths.

Jonathan cultivated for around two hours, but there was still no progress made.

However, he wasn't upset because he knew it was perfectly normal. I haven't been in Nascent Soul for long enough. Heck, I was stuck in the final stage of Neutralizing Force for three years. How could I get past Nascent Soul within a few months' time?

Jonathan then took a can of beer from the fridge and went to his computer.

After logging into Divine Realm's website, he went through the mission board.

The mission board was refreshed on a daily basis. Besides available missions, the board also showed the missions being taken.

Jonathan was looking at the missions the others had taken and saw one that was taken by Simon, Lesley, Elijah, and Catherine.

The last name baffled Jonathan. Why did Catherine also join the mission?

After thinking about it for a while, he figured out what was going on. Simon knows how Catherine is, and she would never take up a mission on her own. Hence, he got her to join them so that she could complete missions.

Jonathan then went to see Catherine's mission status and noticed that she had already completed a mission. Without a shadow of a doubt, Simon must have also helped her complete that mission.

With that thought in mind, Jonathan rang Catherine.

In no time, he got through to her.

Jonathan's phone had a roaming function, so he could make international long-distance calls. Although it was expensive, he wasn't bothered by it.

He had an account that Jennifer would transfer his dividends to every month.

“Hey, Catherine,” Jonathan uttered. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Catherine hummed in response and kept mum.

Jonathan was used to getting such a response from Catherine, so he asked, “How have you been lately?”

“Good!”

Jonathan smiled. “Do you miss me?”

After going silent for a while, she answered, “Yes.”

Jonathan smiled in satisfaction upon hearing that. It's not easy getting her to say that.

“By the way, Catherine, I saw that you've completed a mission. What happened?” he asked.

“Simon and the rest helped me. I just went to collect the rewards.”

“You have to respect Simon, okay?” Jonathan urged. At the same time, he felt warmth in his heart

because he was touched by the relationship between his sworn siblings.

Catherine merely hummed in response.

They hung up the phone after a short conversation.

Jonathan then called Simon. Simon must've planned and organized everything. He's the only one who's capable and has organizational skills.

The call went through rather quickly.

“Hi, Simon!” Jonathan greeted in excitement.

In response, Simon asked flatly, “How's your mission going?”

“I've already killed Lucio. However, I have no leads on King Sergiu's treasure.”

In a deep voice, Simon said, “I'm not surprised you've killed Lucio. However, I've already told you it's going to be hard trying to locate King Sergiu's treasure.”

“I know, but I've already made the choice. There's nothing much to say about it now.”

Simon grunted in assent and said, “On my side, I'll keep collecting information for you. I'm busy now, so I'm hanging up.”

“Wait, Simon!” Jonathan quickly yelled.

“Is there anything else?”

It was evident Simon was also a reserved person. He wouldn't tell anyone what he was up to. Instead, he would just act.

“Thank you, Simon,” Jonathan said.

Simon was stunned momentarily before saying, “I'm hanging up now.”

With that, he ended the call.

Jonathan kept his phone and felt relieved. Now I know if something were to happen to me, Simon would take care of my friends and family. Although he's cold and emotionless to his enemies, he appreciates his sworn siblings.

At ten that night, Lailah suddenly came to knock on Jonathan's door.

Jonathan looked through the peephole and jumped in alarm when he saw who was at the door. I'm in my boxers, drinking beer, and watching a cartoon.

He was watching a cartoon because he couldn't understand the Irethielian shows on television. I can only understand cartoons because I only need the graphics.

At that moment, Jonathan's heart was racing. Why is Lailah looking for me at this hour? Could it be that she's lonely? F*ck! What if she's here to sleep with me?

Jonathan's mind was running wild. However, he knew how ridiculous his thoughts were. None of those

things will happen.

He quickly got dressed and opened the door.

After he did so, Lailah walked in expressionlessly and sat on the couch.

Closing the door, he walked into the living room. “Lailah, do you want something to drink?”

Lailah glanced at the beer in Jonathan's hand and said, “Give me what you're drinking.”

Jonathan was taken aback. After that, he reluctantly said, “Oh, okay. If you don't mind, you can have it.” With that, he gave her his beer.

Lailah couldn't help but be astounded. “What are you thinking? I said I want what you're drinking. That doesn't mean I want to drink from the same can.”

Jonathan was embarrassed. D*mn it! I've misunderstood her.

He then quickly turned around to get Lailah a can of beer. After that, he changed the topic by asking, “Lailah, we still have some time before going to see the Holy Boulder. May I know why you've come to look for me at this hour?”

“Nothing much. I was bored, so I wanted to have a chat with you.”

Jonathan sat on a separate couch and asked, “Could it be that you have some new doubts, Lailah?”

Although Jonathan usually appeared carefree, he was actually very observant.

“Can I trust you?” Lailah suddenly asked.

That stunned Jonathan slightly before he replied, “That's not up to me to decide. You have to come to your own decision.”

Lailah let out a self-deprecating laugh. “It seems like I've asked a pointless question.”

“Lailah, I can promise you this. Whatever you tell me today will be kept between the two of us.”

Sighing softly, she said, “It's nothing much. It's just that I don't show my weak side to anyone. However, I feel like I need to get something off of my chest.”

Jonathan kept quiet and listened.

Lailah continued, “You guessed it right. I've been suspecting Master Gideon. In actuality, I shouldn't be telling you this because if we end up going back alive, you might use it against me. I'll be in trouble when that happens.”

“I'm not going to do that.”

“Well, I don't think I have to worry about that. We'll most probably die here. If not, we'll get sealed off. I've been too impulsive. I thought if I could find you, I could find the Sinai Bible.”

In a deep voice, Jonathan said, “Lailah, things aren't over yet. We still have a chance.”

Lailah drank a big gulp of beer and answered, “Yes. Let's hope that's the case.”

“Why do you find Master Gideon suspicious?” he asked.

“I'm twenty-six this year. Do you know how hard is it to achieve the final stage of Celestial Soul by this age?”

“I don't know how hard that is, but I know it's hard enough to even achieve the initial stage of Celestial Soul.”

“Master Gideon took in five disciples. The oldest is thirty-three, Frost Carnell. He's a very powerful Level Three Divine Master. The youngest among us is twenty-two, Yuna Long. She has achieved the middle-stage Celestial Soul. Indeed, we've eaten a lot of elixir pills, so we have an advantage over others. However, no matter how much of an advantage we have over others, we'd still need natural talent to get to where we are today.”

Instantly, Jonathan knew what Lailah meant. His face fell as he said, “He has five disciples, and they're all geniuses. It's rather hard to believe that he had picked all of you off the streets. It seems like you guys were deliberately chosen.”

“That's right.”

“Are you suspecting Master Gideon murdered your parents?”

Instead of giving a straight answer, she said, “I won't jump to conclusions before getting to the bottom of things.”

Right then, Jonathan finally understood why Lailah was so obsessed with getting to the bottom of her

background. If Master Gideon had really murdered her parents and she has been serving him in return, it's going to be so hard for Lailah to accept it. That's just cruel.
