I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 270

Although an Immortal Pill paled in comparison to a Heaven Pill, it was still a top-notch elixir pill.

In the past, it was something Mabel yearned for wholeheartedly.

Jonathan generously gave her two Heaven Pills previously. Consequently, she soared right up to the Divine Master level.

The Divine Master level was truly a mysterious realm. Even if extraordinarily talented people wanted to break through to the Divine Master level with their own capabilities, that would only be a pipe dream.

After all, the complement of elixir pills was indispensable.

That aside, it hinged on luck and destiny. Mabel initially hadn't much of an opportunity to step foot into the Divine Master level.

But then, the two Heaven Pills given by Jonathan successfully helped her overcome the insurmountable obstacles.

Thus, she was even more anxious than Jonathan then when he failed to obtain an Immortal Pill. At once, she promised, “Okay! I'll have someone investigate this matter right away.”

After Jonathan hung up the phone with Mabel, he returned to the living room to meet with Victor.

“Why did Briana steal the prismatic crystal for no apparent reason? She can't take her revenge against society by doing so. At most, she can only take her revenge against you,” Jonathan lamented, unable to figure things out.

Meanwhile, Victor was filled with bitterness. By then, he was utterly heartbroken and disappointed in Briana.

Upon seeing that the man was all despondent, Jonathan stopped grousing. Instead, he murmured, “I'll inform you once there's any news. Don't be so pessimistic. We were given two months to accomplish this mission. In other words, we still have close to two months' time. I won't report this to Divine Realm before the time is up.”

Gratitude showed on Victor's face, and he gushed, “Thank you!”

Flashing him a smile in return, Jonathan replied, “Don't mention it.”

Thereafter, he took his leave from Victor and left.

After he had left the man's mansion, his spirits plummeted, for he had nothing to do. Ultimately, he had to wait for Mabel's news.

Feeling somewhat hungry, he found a random diner and went in for breakfast.

That diner specialized in spaghetti, so he ordered a plate of spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. When the plate of fragrant spaghetti bolognese was served, he mixed a large amount of oregano into the food. At once, the plate of spaghetti turned into a mass of red and green. Then, he started eating with relish, enjoying the food greatly.

When he had finished eating, he felt that his depression had also faded significantly.

Hmm, could this be what they term eating negative emotions away?

Subsequently, Jonathan phoned Catherine out of boredom.

He learned that everything was fine with her.

Next, he called Simon. Similarly, everything was fine with the latter.

In fact, Simon had already gone to Saspiuburg to execute his mission.

Later, he rang Lailah up.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable,” a cold voice courteously uttered from the other end of the phone.

Jonathan's heart promptly clenched. He had no idea what she was up to right then, but he was exceedingly worried about her safety.

After all, she was the first woman of significance in his life.

In the past, he merely fooled around with those women from the entertainment clubs.

However, Lailah was different.

At that moment, the sun shone brightly overhead, yet the wind was howling away.

Verily, the weather was strange.

Jonathan's hair was very short, but if it were a little longer, it would start dancing in the wind.

As he strolled along the sidewalk, all the businesses around him had their doors open for business, and the sidewalk bustled with people coming and going.

The prosperity of Willowbank was evident to all.

Walking among the crowd, Jonathan appeared adrift and aimless.

Amidst the crowd, a few pickpockets surreptitiously made their move, furtively surrounding a young girl.

When one of them was about to sever her bag with a blade, Jonathan suddenly shot his hand out and grabbed the pickpocket's wrist.

Nonetheless, no fear showed in the pickpocket's eyes. Instead, he regarded Jonathan icily and warned in a low voice, “Mind your own business.”

The young girl in front finally realized what was happening. She swiftly whirled around and glanced in Jonathan's direction.

The instant she made out the situation, she took off.

Jonathan, on the other hand, was surrounded by the few pickpockets.

“How foolish! You think others will be grateful to you just because you helped them in their times of trouble?” sneered the pickpocket he caught.

The rest of the pickpockets attacked Jonathan together, wanting to teach him a hard lesson.

Chortling, Jonathan shot his leg and fist out at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he knocked them all to the ground. “Who were you calling foolish, kid?” Right after saying that, he slapped the pickpocket across the face.

Following that slap, the pickpocket immediately started bleeding from all his orifices, making for a horrifying sight.

In spite of that, he didn't die, merely passed out unconscious.

Dusting his hands, Jonathan walked away nonchalantly.

He had never hoped that others would be grateful to him when he helped them. It was merely for the sake of having peace of mind and his own enjoyment.

Human nature was inherently cowardly, selfish, and fearful, so there was nothing to be condemned. If he hadn't such capabilities, he wouldn't interfere either when he encountered a theft.

Despite the aforementioned inherent human nature, there were still love and sacrifice. All those personality traits would show in a single person, but it depended on their environment.

In life, one should first love oneself before loving and helping others within one's capability; being able to do so was a wonderful thing.

If one couldn't even take care of oneself and one's family yet went out of one's way to help others and protect unrelated people, that would be foolish.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. Haha...

Jonathan continued wandering about the city without a care.

When he had walked for some distance, he came across a bookstore. Unbidden, he walked in.

There were tons of books in the bookstore, ranging from books on attaining success, motivational, and philosophical to workplace knowledge.

That aside, a large portion of them were about parenting, quotes from mothers, and the like.

Additionally, there were a lot of books meant to soothe and comfort the soul.

Verily, such books could be found everywhere in this world.

This world was just like the epitome of a bookstore. Every single book had its own truth.

Alas, many of those truths were contradictory.

The process of learning functioned as a pathway to knowledge, giving one the ability to know what one needed.

Once, there was such a joke—a weasel erected a sign on the edge of the cliff, on which was written: Abandon the restraints of tradition. How would you know that you're not an eagle if you don't jump down bravely?

Subsequently, the weasel ate the chickens that fell to the bottom of the cliff every day.

The moral of that tale was that one must be discerning even when one read such books meant to soothe and inspire, for most of them were written by weasels.

Jonathan didn't spare the motivational books a single glance. Instead, he picked up a book adapted from a web novel entitled “Legend of the Super Secret Service” and started reading it.

He enjoyed the story so much that he lost track of time and ended up reading until four o'clock in the afternoon.

All of a sudden, a phone call from Mabel came in.

He answered the call right away.

“There's news of Briana,” Mabel started.

Delighted, Jonathan asked, “Where did that moronic girl go?”

“Horington,” Mabel answered.

At that, Jonathan was inexorably stunned. She actually went to Horington.

Needless to say, he was familiar with that city. The first place he set foot on upon returning to the country was none other than Horington. Too many things happened in Horington. Moreover, Jennifer, Yasmin, and Jessica were all there.

Thus, Jonathan couldn't help inquiring, “What is she doing there?”

“She rented a yacht there and went out to sea,” Mabel replied.

For a moment, words eluded Jonathan. “Has she lost her mind? She's always doing something that boggles the mind.”

Mabel continued, “It isn't ideal that she's at sea. If she were to throw the prismatic crystal into the sea, no one would be able to retrieve it.”

“It looks like she's targeting me. Could it be that she still harbors a deep-seated grudge against me though I helped her see Otto's true colors?” Jonathan mused.

Chuckling wryly, Mabel quipped, “A man can never understand a woman's thoughts.”

“Fine, then. I'll admit to my ignorance. You're a woman, so you probably understand, right?” Jonathan queried.

Rolling her eyes, Mabel retorted, “I don't know either.”

Thereafter, Jonathan questioned, “Do you have any way of forcing her back to shore?”

“Of course, I do. But I'm also afraid that she'd do something drastic if we were to take forceful

measures. I think it's best that you go,” Mabel suggested.

“Okay. I'll set out for Horington immediately,” Jonathan concurred.

“I've already contacted Horington's fire rescue department. They'll dispatch an aircraft to pick you up. Besides, we've already locked onto the yacht. You can board the yacht and seek Briana out directly,” Mabel explained.

“That's great!” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Be careful in everything you do. I can't shake off the feeling that this matter isn't as simple as it seems. Her actions are exceedingly peculiar, going beyond an ordinary person's understanding,” Mabel urged.

“Okay, got it,” Jonathan replied.

Then, Jonathan and Mabel decided on a location.

After doing that, Jonathan gave Victor a call.

“I'm going out to sea in search of Briana,” Jonathan stated.

At once, Victor asserted, “I'll go with you.”

“Forget it. It's best that I go alone. Don't worry, for I'll try not to hurt her as much as possible,” Jonathan vowed.

“Thank you in advance, then,” Victor murmured.

A tiger, though cruel, would not devour its cub.

Yet, the cub had the intent of killing its father.

Horington was a distance away from Willowbank.

Two hours later, the aircraft from Horington arrived.

Jonathan waited on the rooftop of a grand hotel.

On the rooftop, he climbed into the aircraft without hesitation.

The aircraft was a high-powered helicopter. As soon as he had boarded the aircraft, it took off and flew toward Horington.

Truth be told, he had too many memories in the city.

There was also his regret—Jennifer.

He peeked at her bathing multiple times and fantasized about pinning her underneath him in his dreams countless times.

But in the end, they weren't destined to be together.

Right then, he had already broken up with her amicably. Therefore, he really hadn't the cheek to disrupt her life.

He couldn't possibly seek her out just to bed her. If he were to do so, she would undoubtedly regard him as a scoundrel.

At half past eight at night, the aircraft entered Horington's airspace at long last. Subsequently, it reached the sea.

The temperature there was still as warm as ever.

Indeed, Horington was a perfect city to settle in.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, yet the sea was a vast blanket of blackness, appearing like a massive black hole that could devour all things.

Jonathan didn't like being on the sea.

There were two things he loathed in life. Firstly, he detested being in the sky. Secondly, he hated being on the water.

Elites at the Nascent Soul level were bestowed the title of Immortal Level.

That meant they were invincible.

Regretfully, that only applied to the land. When they were in the sky or on the sea, they still lacked the ability to manipulate the clouds or fog.

Soon, the aircraft flew more than sixty nautical miles out to the sea. Finally, the yacht on which Briana

was on board came into sight.

The yacht wasn't that big, so it looked just like a tiny blip on the sea.

A light shone from it like a beacon.

The aircraft then started descending.
