I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 267

Mabel was not going to blame Jonathan for Otto and Kairo's deaths.

However, Mabel still valued Jonathan's words.

It seemed like experts like Otto and Kairo, who had come for money, had a mysterious force backing them up. What's the aim of this mysterious force?

Mabel was the chief of the Department of National Security's sixth division, and she could smell the scent of danger. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The Department of National Security was meant to keep the country safe, and Mabel's job was to decimate the hidden forces that were a threat to public safety.

It was her duty.

Once Mabel mulled over Jonathan's words, she immediately led her subordinates to Wildefield.

Once she boarded the plane, she started commanding the armed forces of Wildefield.

Otto and Kairo's bodies were soon removed by the gendarmerie who did everything discreetly and did not bring any trouble to Victor at all. That night, Bjarne and Terry were arrested by the gendarmerie as well.

Although both were not weak in their cultivation, they had suffered in Jonathan's hands and were recovering in the hospital. Therefore, the gendarmerie had no trouble arresting them.

Jonathan never thought that things like these would happen when he was only doing his mission.

Nevertheless, regardless of how things would turn out on Mabel's side, Jonathan knew that his mission was almost complete.

Both Otto and Kairo were dead, and Bjarne and Terry had been arrested.

There was no way Briana would be able to interact with Otto anymore.

Technically, Jonathan had completed his mission as stated in the terms and conditions.

Despite that, Briana was not in a good condition. She was suffering from massive shock. In all the twenty-three years of her life, she had been getting everything she wanted. Therefore, Otto's incident stunned her to her core.

Victor took Briana back to the mansion to take care of her.

Jonathan could not bring himself to ask for the prismatic crystal from Victor, for it would make him seem heartless.

At eight at night, Mabel reached Wildefield. The moment she landed, she called Jonathan. When the call went through, Mabel said, “I'm with the gendarmerie squad. Do you want to come over?”

Uninterested, Jonathan replied, “Go ahead first. I'm guessing that Bjarne and Terry don't know anything about this. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given you the chance to arrest them.”

Despite knowing that Jonathan had a point, she said, “But we still have to give it a try.”

Jonathan agreed, “Yes.”

“Okay, I'll call you again when I'm done.”

“Sure.”

Just as he ended the call, a number Jonathan did not recognize called.

He picked it up.

As it turned out, it was Johanna.

Confused, Jonathan asked, “How do you know my number?”

Johanna huffed. “It's tough to find you. I had to go to Victor to get your number.”

Jonathan let out a hum of realization. Indeed, he had given his number to Victor.

Thus, he asked, “Anything I can help you with?”

“Since you don't want the money, allow me and my sister to treat you to a meal tonight.”

Jonathan chuckled. “You don't need to go through such troubles. I have something else to work on tonight.”

However, Johanna was insistent. “What do you need to do?”

Jonathan froze before answering, “I have a friend who's here and wants to have a meal with me.”

“That's even better. We'll treat you and your friend.” A pause later, she continued, “We'll eat at my place, and I'll cook. You've got to come.”

Jonathan sighed in resignation, but he knew he could not reject her anymore. Hence, he said, “Okay, but my friend might be busy until much later in the night.”

“That's fine. Call me when you're done. We'll be waiting for you,” Johanna reassured.

“Okay.”

“See you later,” said Johanna before finally ending the call.

A bitter smile crept onto Jonathan's lips, but he soon recalled what Beatrix said previously.

Beatrix told him about Joanne's situation. Ice would form whenever anyone with a high level of cultivation shook hands with Joanne.

Jonathan muttered under his breath, “This is Beatrix's theory, but she hasn't tested it out yet. Moreover, Mabel has more cultivation than I do. What if I take her to Joanne and have her shake hands with the latter? What will it be? Well, we'll find out once we try it.”

Once Jonathan made up his mind, he started to look forward to the dinner.

There was nothing else Jonathan needed to do, and there was nowhere he could go.

Hence, he contemplated going to a bar to get some drinks and wait until night came.

He then hailed a cab and told the cab driver to head to a bar.

At ten at night, Mabel was finally done with work.

Jonathan was quietly drinking away in the bar. He had passed the age of flirting with women, so he was doing nothing but drinking.

Johanna was surprisingly patient, for she never once called Jonathan to urge him to hurry.

Right then, Jonathan received a call from Mabel.

“How is it?” Jonathan queried.

“Where are you? We'll talk about it when we meet.” Mabel sounded tired.

After giving her his current location, he said, “I don't have a car, so please come and pick me up.”

“Sure.”

Half an hour later, Mabel came in a military jeep.

Jonathan was waiting for her by the bar entrance, so when Mabel's car stopped by the side of the road, he climbed into it and sat in the front passenger seat.

He was surprised to see her in a military outfit, and she looked handsome in it.

Furthermore, there was something about her that told others that she was no simple individual.

When Mabel started the car, Jonathan suddenly laughed.

Baffled, she asked, “What are you laughing about?”

“I used to want a pretty and elegant woman like you, but alas, it never happened. Don't you think that your getup will make men turn into beasts?”

Mabel was speechless, and she rolled her eyes at Jonathan. “That isn't funny.”

Jonathan chuckled but did not continue the topic.

“Let's go for barbecue somewhere and talk while we eat,” Mabel said to Jonathan after driving out of the street.

However, Jonathan told her, “That won't do. Someone's about to treat me to dinner tonight, so I'm going to take you there too.”

Mabel stiffened for a while before saying, “Why are you taking me to meet your friends?”

Jonathan chuckled. “They asked me to bring a female partner. Since we're on such good terms with each other, please sacrifice a little of your time for me.”

Mabel's response was instantaneous. “No.” After a pause, she went on, “If I go to an unsightly meeting like this, my grandpa's going to kill me. He'd say it's a disgrace.”

Jonathan laughed again. “All right, all right. I was joking with you. It's true that someone is treating me to a meal tonight, but they're upstanding members of society. The chairman of Falcon Corporation is inviting us to dinner.”

Mabel hummed. “I know about Falcon Corporation. Joanne's a pretty capable woman. Why is she treating you to a meal?”

“That isn't important. What's important is that Jonathan has a strange physique.”

Hearing that, Mabel gave Jonathan a look. “You're quick, aren't you? It hasn't been long since you came, but you already know that woman has a strange body.”

Jonathan was momentarily taken aback. He never thought that Mabel would be rather unrestrained in private when she was a rather solemn individual at most times.

“It's not what you think.” Jonathan then explained to her what happened when he shook hands with Joanne. He also told her about Johanna's suspicions.

Mabel's interest was piqued after hearing him.

She said, “There really are all kinds of miracles in this world. I'd like to see her for myself.”

“Good to hear that. I'll call them and tell them about this.” Mabel nodded.

Jonathan then called Johanna.

Johanna gave no words of protest, and her tone was gentle. When Jonathan asked her for the address, she gave it to him right away.

“I'll see you later,” Jonathan said before ending the call.

Jonathan then said to Mabel, “The third block at Serenyte Garden.”

Mabel hummed in response before saying, “Key in the address in the GPS.”

“Okay.”

That was how convenient modern technology was. As long as one had the address, one did not need to ask for directions.

After keying in the address, Jonathan asked, “How did the inquest go with Terry and Bjarne?”

Mabel seemed to look downcast when the question was raised. “You were right. They were both hired by Otto and Kairo later on. They barely know anything, and they've contributed nothing to our investigation.”

Jonathan was not surprised.

“Messenger from hell? Hell? What kind of organization is that, and what aim do they have?”

“Don't get too worried about this. I'm sure these men from hell will come to me when the time is right.

Didn't Otto leave a threat behind before killing himself? If they come to me, I'll do my best to get some clues for you.”

“You have to be careful,” Mabel reminded.

Jonathan smiled and reassured, “Don't worry. I'm a lucky man. By the way, is General Watson not here yet?”

“It's more like he's gone now. The men are dead, and it's pointless for him to come. He has asked me to convey his thanks to you.”

“I see.”

Half an hour later, which was twenty minutes past eleven at night, the two of them finally reached Serenyte Garden.

It was a place of serenity amidst the bustling city, and it was certainly a good place to live in.

The inside of the neighborhood was constructed to be a forest park.

Johanna had come to the entrance of Serenyte Garden to welcome them.

After parking her jeep outside the residential area, she and Jonathan got out of the vehicle.

“Ms. Johanna!” Jonathan greeted with a chuckle. He then moved to hug Johanna. As Mabel was around, she forced herself to go along with his actions.

Jonathan was amused, but he was only hugging her as a greeting.

That made Johanna sigh in relief.

Jonathan then introduced, “Ms. Johanna, this is my friend, Mabel.”

Bearing a hint of fear and respect for Mabel, Johanna politely and tentatively greeted, “Ms. Sandler.”

To her surprise, Mabel reached out her hand and calmly said, “Ms. Johanna, sorry for the late visit. I hope you won't mind.”

Johanna quickly answered, “No, of course not. It's our honor to have you here, Ms. Sandler.”
