I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 282

In fact, Jonathan was not a narrow-minded person. He usually didn't hold grudges. He really saw Mabel as his friend and confidante. Thus, he felt genuine disappointment this time.

Anyhow, Jonathan decided to keep his feelings to himself.

He always believed that one should help others out of sincerity and not out of obligation.

It seemed a bit melodramatic if he talked to Mabel about this matter.

Jonathan stood there in a trance while holding the phone before he thought of Jennifer.

He knew he should feel sorry for Jennifer.

Thus, he decided to call her.

The call went through quickly.

Jonathan said, “Jennifer, it's me.”

Jennifer tried her best to suppress the joy. “Jonathan, are you all right?”

Jonathan replied, “I'm fine.”

Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that. Then, for a brief moment, she didn't know what to say next.

“How are things with you?” Jennifer tried to fill the silence.

Jonathan took in a deep breath and said, “Thank you, Jennifer.”

Jennifer smiled. “It's your dividend, anyway. There's no need to thank me for that.”

Jonathan said, “I will visit you and Winnie at Horington after I finish my matter here.”

“Really?” Jennifer was overjoyed.

Jonathan chuckled. “For real. I'm starting to miss Winnie too.”

Jennifer said, “I'll take your word for it then.”

Jonathan responded, “It's a deal!”

They chatted for a little longer before ending the call.

Just then, Jonathan's phone rang again.

He looked at the caller ID and realized the caller was Mabel.

Jonathan wasn't too keen on picking it up, so he let the phone ring for another minute.

However, it seemed that Mabel was persistent and kept calling.

In the end, Jonathan relented and answered the phone. As soon as the call was connected, he said, “Sorry, I was in the shower.”

Mabel let out a bitter laugh. “Stop lying. I know what you're thinking.”

A wry smile played across Jonathan's lips.

Mabel said, “Let's meet up. I'll find you in Willowbank.”

Jonathan responded, “All right.” He was thinking of having a face-to-face talk with Mabel too.

With that, both of them agreed to a meet-up location. Mabel said, “Wait for me.” Then, she hung up the phone.

Jonathan found his mind to be slightly more at ease now.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and the smell of freshly-cooked pasta wafted through the air.

Jonathan turned around and saw Monroe holding a bowl of mac and cheese.

“Mr. Lawson, here you go.” Monroe smiled ostentatiously and added, “I also made you two sunny eggs.”

“Thank you,” Jonathan responded.

Then, he took the bowl and delved into the food.

The dish was delicious, and Jonathan had a hearty appetite.

After eating, Jonathan sat cross-legged.

Then, he started practicing Ultra Sun Moon Mantra to cleanse the impurities within his body and cultivate his strength.

He continued the training for the next three hours or so.

It was already seven in the evening when he finished cultivating.

The night arrived, and the lights lit up throughout Willowbank.

Jonathan got up and left the room. Meanwhile, Monroe was watching TV in the living room.

Oh my, he's watching Bold and the Beautiful!

“Mr. Lawson, are you going out?” Monroe asked when he saw Jonathan.

The latter let out a faint smile and said, “I'm leaving. Take care of yourself.”

“I'll see you out,” Monroe hurriedly said.

“It's all right,” Jonathan replied with a smile.

With that, he left Monroe's house.

Monroe was dumbfounded. Everything that happened that day was like a dream to him.

A dream that seemed somehow surreal and legendary.

Naturally, Jonathan did not bother what Monroe had been thinking. After he left the building, he went straight away to Starlet Hotel.

Mabel was waiting for him there.

Half an hour later, both of them met on the top floor of Starlet Hotel.

It was very quiet on the top floor.

A private jet was parked at the other side of the floor.

Usually, that area functioned as a rooftop bar. The place would be filled with guests for a drink on a summer night.

However, since the night was freezing cold in this season, there weren't many customers.

Mabel was wearing a thick black coat and a pair of sunglasses. She had taken her seat, and there was a bottle of champagne on the table.

Jonathan arrived and sat opposite to Mabel.

She proceeded to fill the glasses with champagne.

Jonathan took one of the glasses and smiled. “It's a great honor to have alcohol personally served by Chief Sandler.”

His casual tease sounded like it was insinuating something.

Mabel also picked up the wine glass and took a sip of champagne. Then, she smiled and said, “I'm sure you don't find this matter the slightest bit unusual at all.”

Jonathan said, “Actually, I don't hold many thoughts about this. Never once did I think that you owe me any favor. I regard you as my best confidant and friend. If we were to really settle the scores, I know very well that I actually owe you my life. If it weren't for you, I would be long dead.”

Mabel took a sip of the champagne again.

One did not need to voice out one's thoughts word by word for the other to understand. She composed herself before saying, “I can say what I want to say on the phone. But I flew here for three hours today because I also regard you as my best confidant and friend. I have little friends, and you count as one.”

Jonathan finished his glass of champagne in one gulp and said, “Go ahead.”

Mabel stated, “I didn't know you were missing. I've been investigating a rather peculiar incident that happened in Yaleview recently. I didn't know that you had an accident until you called me.”

“What's so peculiar about it?” Jonathan felt relieved for a moment. He believed Mabel's words. But now, he was more curious about what had happened in Yaleview.

Mabel explained, “There are about two hundred and fifty babies born in Yaleview every day. The survival rate is over 99%! This is because there are outstanding medical resources in Yaleview.”

Jonathan nodded and listened attentively.

Mabel continued, “However, there have been multiple accidents in ten hospitals. In each case, we lost both the pregnant mothers and babies together. As of today, more than eight hundred pregnant women and babies have died within half a month. In the beginning, we thought that it was due to medical malpractice. But now it seems that this is not the case at all.”

Jonathan was taken aback. “Could those be murders?”

Mabel responded, “We managed to acquire the hospitals' surveillance videos and found nothing abnormal. The only abnormality is that in every place where there were cases of dead pregnant women reported, there were also reports that a child could be heard singing at night. According to people who heard it, the voice was full of resentment and would send chills down one's spine.”

Jonathan suggested, “Could it be wrathful spirits?”

Mabel said, “We also suspect that there are some supernatural elements involved. However, ordinary wrathful spirits or vengeful spirits wouldn't have the ability to cause this. As you know, if an unborn baby were killed, the resentment they generate would be quite intense. An ordinary vengeful spirit would never dare to get close to such a baby.”

Jonathan asked, “Could it be that Eonetara is involved in all these?”

Mabel looked at Jonathan and questioned, “By the way, you haven't told me what happened to you?”

Jonathan was no longer on edge. He replied, “This is what happened...”

Immediately, he told Mabel about the weird experiences he had gone through in the past half month.

“What I don't understand the most is what the hell did Eonetara use to dope me so that I fell into their hands unknowingly.” Jonathan was still bothered about this unsolved mystery. There is no trust between people nowadays. D*mn! I might even get killed during my sleep. I certainly don't feel safe. F*ck.

Jonathan felt like he might suffer from bedtime phobia in the future.

Mabel remarked, “It's not surprising. As you said before, that old man in black is a Divine Master. He has converted his spiritual power into mana. He must have sneaked into your brain using his mana and guided you into Void Domain. It is a simple trick, actually.”

Jonathan let out a hum as realization dawned upon him. He commented, “Why are Divine Masters so common nowadays? It's like I can easily bump into one on the streets. If I didn't have Mr. Cadman's Golden Badge Power, I would have died this time.”

Mabel's heart almost leaped out at the thrills of Jonathan's story. She felt apologetic and said, “I'm sorry, Jonathan, for not being there when you needed me the most.”

Jonathan waved his hand graciously and replied, “You didn't know it would happen. It's okay.”

Seeing that Jonathan wasn't mad anymore, Mabel heaved a sigh of relief.

She also found the whole matter amusing afterward and said, “I used to not care much about other people's thoughts and opinions. I didn't expect that I would be afraid that you might get angry. That's why I came here from Yaleview right away. I just want to explain the whole situation clearly to you face to face.”

Jonathan felt a little touched. He said, “There are many kinds of love in the world. Romantic love is not the only one.”

Mabel agreed, “You're right.” She paused for a moment before continuing, “Let's get down to business. Do you think Eonetara is involved in the case of wrathful spirits in Yaleview?”

Jonathan responded, “It's just a guess, and there is no basis for it. In fact, there is still one thing I don't understand.”

“What is it?” Mabel asked.

Jonathan analyzed, “Is Eonetara an organization, or do they really come from the actual hell?”

Mabel pondered and replied, “I can't give you an answer. I have never had contact with this group of people. I can assure you that there is more to them than meets the eye. They were able to send three Divine Masters at one time. No other forces except for Divine Realm is able to do that.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jonathan continued, “I have been trying to find out their origins. However, these people are very vigilant and keep their mouths shut. However, when I activated Mr. Cadman's Golden Badge Power, the old man in black made a slip.”

“What did he say?” Mabel was intrigued.

Jonathan explained, “The old man in black knows Mr. Cadman. I can tell that he is very afraid of the latter. His subordinates asked him if he knew Mr. Cadman, and he said that Mr. Cadman once...”

“What was it?” Mabel couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Jonathan stated, “That's it. He stopped talking immediately after he said that. If we can find Mr. Cadman and ask him about this, perhaps we can get more clues.”

Mabel was rendered speechless. Then, she stated, “Mr. Cadman is now in Void Domain. We are not even sure which realm he is in now.”
