I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 237

At ten o'clock in the morning, Jonathan finished worshipping the Divine Emperor.

The sun was shining on Olympus' courtyard, making the lush branches and leaves of the old mulberry trees glisten. Rays of sunshine shone on the ground as they seeped through the leaves and branches.

It was a beautiful sight.

Even so, Jonathan felt extremely troubled as hundreds of thoughts passed through his mind. I wouldn't have stayed the night in Divine Realm if I knew worshiping the Divine Emperor would be so troublesome. I won't need to worship the Divine Emperor once I leave Divine Realm. I'll just have to make sure to worship him twelve times per year, that's all.

Jonathan had just stepped out of Olympus when Yuna leaped out of a corner.

Looking extremely cheerful, she said, “Let's go, Jonathan. Let's meet Master Gideon.”

Jonathan still put up his guard. Is Yuna really innocent or... Don't tell me she's being so affectionate to me because Master Gideon told her to do so? Besides, she appeared as soon as I walked out. She was definitely waiting for me. Could Master Gideon know that I have the raw stone?

Indeed, Jonathan kept the raw stone on him at all times. Truth was, he had no idea where to hide it. He would be at a loss for what to do if it were stolen. Now that Jonathan was a Silver, no one would dare to outright snatch it from him.

Many thoughts passed through his mind, but he did not allow them to show on his face. He merely smiled and answered, “Sure.”

Jonathan had no other choice for the time being because he was determined to get the three Ninth Immortality Pill from Gideon.

Immediately, Yuna walked in the front to lead the way while Jonathan followed her.

Just like that, the duo made their way to Astral Hall.

Astral Hall was located southeast of Olympus. From the outside, it looked like the palace of Ustrana's nobles because of its royal architectural style.

Upon arriving outside the palace, Yuna said to the guard coldly, “We're here on Master Gideon's orders. Here's the warrant.” With that, she revealed a document.

Seeing that, the guard immediately granted them entry.

Jonathan secretly gave Yuna a puzzled glance, for the latter was cold and calm now, which differed completely from her earlier innocent and bubbly behavior.

However, Jonathan did not question the matter. His heart was racing wildly, and he had a gut feeling that Gideon's request to see him was not as simple as just giving him the Ninth Immortality Pills.

After entering the palace, Yuna flashed Jonathan a smile and said, “What is it, Jonathan? Did I scare you? The guards are total snobs, so we need to act fierce around them, got it?”

With a faint smile, Jonathan responded, “Got it!”

The shiny floor of the palace's main hall was covered with a golden carpet, and the interior was surrounded by luxurious-looking bronze and emerald artifacts.

At the frontmost of the hall was a seat that resembled the throne of a king.

All the facilities there seemed to exist to accentuate the person in the seat.

Jonathan could not help but lament in his heart, Does everyone in Divine Realm want to be a king badly or something? What's their obsession with all this grandeur?

“Wait for me here, Jonathan. I'll report our arrival to Master Gideon,” Yuna said.

Jonathan nodded in response.

With that, Yuna quickly entered the inner palace.

It did not take long for Yuna and Frost to come out. Striding ahead of them was Gideon.

He had changed into a black suit, which made him look exceptionally domineering.

His gaze was calm as if there was nothing that could faze him.

However, the aura he exuded made others think twice before messing with him. The moment Gideon appeared, Jonathan lowered his head.

The individuals here were each more powerful than the next. Jonathan was merely an insect in their

presence.

In fact, Frost could kill Jonathan with just one finger, let alone Gideon.

Regardless, Jonathan could not help but wonder if Frost was Gideon's son.

At the same time, Gideon had sat on the throne while Frost and Yuna each stood on either side of the former.

Jonathan, being a tactful person, quickly bowed politely. “Greetings, Master Gideon.”

Gideon smiled faintly and said, “Please rise.” Though he was domineering, he looked amicable.

“Thank you, Master Gideon,” Jonathan responded.

He did not dare to meet Gideon's gaze.

The entire hall gave Jonathan a strong, oppressive feeling.

Right then, Gideon said, “Jonathan, you did a great job completing your task. You've also made our faction proud. Here. This is the reward you deserve.” He then gestured to Frost to give Jonathan an embroidered box.

Just like his name, Frost handed the box to Jonathan expressionlessly. Taking the box, Jonathan quickly thanked Gideon, “Thank you, Master Gideon.” Regardless, he felt incredibly worried.

He feared that the Ninth Immortality Pills would not be inside. If his worry came true, he would be

courting death if he talked about it after walking out of the hall.

Even so, he did not dare to check the contents in the presence of Gideon.

Jonathan pondered over it. This is bestowed by the Divine Emperor, so Master Gideon probably won't dare to play any tricks.

That thought gave him some relief.

“It's what you deserve,” Gideon said with a smile.

Jonathan merely remained in a respectful posture silently.

Once I have the Ninth Immortality Pills, I'm going to leave Astral Hall and Divine Realm and return to Chanaea. D*mn it! This place makes me so uneasy and stressed.

“Lailah went looking for the Sinai Bible with you back then. Why isn't she back when the task is completed?” Gideon queried.

Jonathan quickly replied, “Master Gideon, Lailah was mesmerized by Yeringham's beauty. Thus, she could not bear to leave.”

“I see.” Gideon paused for a while before adding, “There aren't many young people as outstanding as you out there. It's been more than ten years since I last accepted a disciple. However, I'm rather delighted to have met you. Here's my suggestion. Bow before me three times, and I'll accept you as my disciple. You'll be my Divine Realm's second generation of inner disciples. You'll have an honorable identity in the future.”

It was practically a great blessing.

Any ordinary person would be elated to hear that offer.

Jonathan, however, felt goosebumps all over his body.

If he had not heard what Lance said back then, Jonathan would be unaffected. However, he immediately recalled Lance's reminder the moment he heard Gideon's offer.

Clearly, Gideon wanted to steal Jonathan's raw stone.

Jonathan had been feeling something was wrong from the very beginning. Gideon was known to have an aloof personality, so the way he treated Jonathan so kindly earlier had given the latter goosebumps. Come to think of it, Gideon is putting in a lot of effort to get my raw stone. How should I go about this? Do I reject him right away?

“What is it? Do you not like the idea?” Gideon's voice turned cold.

Jonathan lowered his head, answering, “Of course, I'd love to be your disciple. It's just that I don't have the honor of being one.”

“What makes you say that?” Gideon asked coldly.

Yuna looked worried, while Frost seemed frosty.

Jonathan explained, “I was an orphan since young. It was my master who took me in. Deep down, I

only have one master. I really cannot accept another. I hope you can understand my struggle, Master Gideon.”

Gideon's expression relaxed, and he said, “That's not a problem. You becoming my disciple won't affect your relationship with your master. I won't make you change your faction.”

Jonathan felt a chill run down his spine. From how he's in such a hurry to make me his disciple, his intention is so obvious.

Though his skills were great, he was still far behind Gideon's disciples.

Being an arrogant person, Gideon would not have humbly insisted on making Jonathan his disciple if not for an ulterior motive.

Jonathan could picture a miserable future ahead of him if he actually became Gideon's disciple.

Hence, he quickly said, “Master Gideon, I'm really grateful for your favor, but my master has specifically instructed me to not take another master. I'll be punished terribly for breaking the oath.”

Finally, Frost spoke up. “Nonsense. You're someone who practices Destino Art. You should know that such oaths are useless. Master Gideon has shown you so much favor, yet you aren't being grateful. Bow down before Master Gideon now!”

Yuna, too, chimed in, “That's right, Jonathan! We'll share the same master once you accept Master Gideon. With Master Gideon here, you'll get to enjoy all kinds of unimaginable benefits. Why are you being so slow today?” She was truly worried about Jonathan as she feared he might offend Gideon and bring trouble upon himself.

Taking a deep breath, Jonathan said firmly, “No matter what people view oaths as, I'll never go against the one I made to my master. I'll never waver, no matter the consequences!”

Yuna stomped in frustration while Frost scowled harder.

Of course, Gideon did not look any better. He said, “If that's the case, then I have no choice but to grant your wish.” Gideon, naturally, would not force Jonathan to accept him as his master. After all, his reputation would be ruined if word got out about it.

“You may leave,” Gideon announced, dismissing the younger man with a wave of a hand.

Relieved, Jonathan quickly said, “I'll take my leave now.” With that, he scurried out of Astral Hall. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

At that moment, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was warm.

Jonathan panted heavily. Standing in Astral Hall earlier made him feel as if he was in hell. It was as if he could bring death upon himself with a single misstep.

Thank goodness I'm out of the hall. I can't stay at Divine Realm any longer. I've got to leave this place quickly.

However, he still could not resist the urge to open the embroidered box. The moment he opened it, he spotted three black pills laying inside.

The dark luster of the pill was queer, and there were streams of light flowing over them.

When he carefully took a sniff, he caught a refreshing scent as if someone had gotten out of the shower.

These are definitely Heaven Pills! They're treasures!

Relief washed over Jonathan. He had a feeling he should leave the place right away, or Gideon would come after him again.

I've got to leave and hide the raw stone.

With that, Jonathan rushed to Divine Realm's entrance.

Alas, a shocking turn of events was about to unfold.
