I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 548 Schemes

The weather in Eastsummer was always clear. Even if it rained, the sky would still clear up quickly.

Periwinkle Eastsummer Lake remained as pristine and beautiful as ever. That city was a haven for tourists and leisure seekers, boasting both the bustling vitality of urban life and the refreshing air of the mountains.

The government of Eastsummer spared no effort in protecting the ecological environment of the city. That city was a popular destination for many newlyweds to spend their honeymoon. Jonathan's choice of Eastsummer as his base was not without careful investigation and consideration.

Moreover, there were many Chanaean people and Chanaean restaurants in Eastsummer. Therefore, it wouldn't be difficult to adapt to the living environment there.

Larry arrived in Eastsummer by noon that day.

The first thing he did upon returning to Eastsummer was to meet Anakin.

Inside Dietrich Castle, Anakin met with Larry in the palace. That place was originally inhabited by Jonathan, but after he was driven out, it naturally became the residence of Anakin.

Anakin ordered everyone to withdraw. Even the Four Marquises were not summoned.

“Your Majesty!” Larry immediately knelt on one knee.

Anakin said, “Get up and talk. What's the situation?”

With a sneer, Larry said, “Your Majesty, just as you suspected, this whole matter is the doing of Jonathan and his remnants. They have indeed returned.”

Anakin asked, “What is his cultivation level now?”

Larry said, “I can't be certain, but it should only be around the Third or Fourth Level of Immortal Stage!”

With a cold laugh, Anakin said, “He's still a useless piece of trash!”

Larry said, “Your Majesty, you truly are a master strategist. As expected, Jonathan is indeed planning to use me to assassinate you.”

Anakin said, “This is their only way out. As soon as I heard about the Blood Lotus, I knew there was a plot involved. If there really was a Blood Lotus, how could Ocantine possibly let the news leak out!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Larry said, “I'm fortunate to have taken the Panacea Pill you gave me. With this pill, I was immune to all poisons! Jonathan gave me a poisoned pill, and he now thinks he has me under his control.”

Anakin laughed heartily and said, “That guy is so full of himself, yet he doesn't realize he's as stupid as a pig!” Then, Anakin asked, “So, what's his next move?”

Larry said, “He wants me to assassinate you within three days. Even if I can't kill you, I must try to injure you severely. Then, he will collaborate with me from outside!”

“He sure has a good plan!” Anakin sneered repeatedly.

Larry said, “Jonathan also gave me a spell, which he said can isolate all sounds. He mentioned that

while they were hunting me, they had already placed this spell outside the rooms of the Four Marquises. Therefore, he wants me to bring the spell back to make you suspect that the Four Marquises have already betrayed you!”

Anakin took the spell given by Larry, studied it for a moment, and said, “This spell is indeed a bit peculiar!” He paused, then added, “This brat is indeed very cunning, and his plans are well thought out. He took into consideration that I trust you completely, and if anything unusual happens, I will only suspect the Four Marquises. Who would have thought that he actually planned to use you!”

With utmost respect, Larry said, “This brat is adept at scheming and thinks highly of himself. But in your presence, Your Majesty, he is nothing more than a joke!”

With a faint smile, Anakin said, “Indeed, he is a worthy opponent, but he's still too immature compared to me!”

Larry also chimed in agreement. Although Larry appeared cold and arrogant in front of others, he was extremely cautious around Anakin. Back when Anakin was not yet the king, he could hang out with Anakin like they were brothers.

Ever since Anakin ascended to the throne, Larry had been particularly mindful of his conduct.

From that, it was clear that Larry was no fool but rather a cunning old fox!

Since Larry had earned Anakin's trust deeply, if he maintained a kind and amiable front in front of others, winning the public's affection, would Anakin still be able to tolerate him?

After an ancient king had initially seized control of the realm, his most trusted subject had to embezzle and monopolize the fertile lands intentionally. In the end, the common people brought their complaints before the ancient king. Upon hearing that, the ancient king was, surprisingly, overjoyed.

That was just the way it was!

“Your Majesty, what do you plan to do next?” Larry cautiously asked Anakin.

A glint flashed in Anakin's eyes as he said, “You secretly get in touch with them. Once they've arrived, tell them that you've severely injured me. At that time, I'll create some noise and sounds of fighting within the palace. You then pretend to escape with serious injuries. Afterward, I'll have people chase after you. At that point, you rendezvous with Jonathan and his party, and after a round of fighting, our people will retreat inward. Once we've lured Jonathan and his party in, we'll close the gates and trap them inside! This time, we absolutely cannot give them another chance; we must capture all of them in one fell swoop. After you pretend to be injured, seize the opportunity to strike!”

“Your Majesty, that's a brilliant plan!” Larry immediately buttered Anakin up enthusiastically.

That evening, Jonathan and his party arrived in Eastsummer.

Larry managed to get in touch with Jonathan. Over the phone, Larry said, “Your Majesty, your brilliant scheme has fooled Anakin. He is now filled with suspicion toward the Four Marquises!”

Jonathan laughed heartily, saying, “That idiot. Haha!”

Unbeknownst to Jonathan, Anakin was also listening in on the side as the speakerphone on the mobile phone was turned on.

Upon hearing Jonathan called him an idiot, Anakin fumed in anger. However, he could only endure it for now. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he muttered under his breath, “You fool. You'll realize how incompetent you are tomorrow.”

After ending his call with Jonathan, Larry felt a bit awkward as he said to Anakin, “Your Majesty, this Jonathan is so full of himself. He's practically asking for death! He previously tormented me endlessly at Ocantine's place. When we catch him tomorrow, I beg you to let me take my revenge.”

With a cold sneer, Anakin said, “Of course. I intend to make this arrogant fool suffer a fate worse than death!”

That night, Jonathan and others were secretly hiding in a small inn.

That night was incredibly peaceful!

Unable to contain her curiosity, Mabel asked Jonathan, “Where is Torrence?”

Jonathan said, “He will arrive by tomorrow morning.”

Mabel said, “How could he be late for something so important? What on earth has he been doing?”

With a smile, Jonathan said, “That's a secret that can't be divulged!”

Mabel was at a loss for words.

On the evening of the second day, Larry and Jonathan agreed to prepare for action.

Torrence reported in that morning, and Jonathan gave him Luminous Sword.

Everyone set off on time in the evening, heading toward Dietrich Castle.

Although Mabel and the others felt uneasy, they chose to remain silent. It was time for action, and further questioning Jonathan would be pointless, only serving to disrupt the morale of the troops.

Under cover of night, Jonathan led his men on a swift march toward Dietrich Castle.

After experiencing so many things, it felt like a time loop.

On such a night, everyone returned to the Dietrich residence, much like when Anakin raided the residence previously.

Today, it was as if Jonathan and Anakin had swapped places.

However, could Jonathan really defeat Anakin this time?

On Jonathan's side, no one had the confidence to win.

On the contrary, Anakin was completely confident in taking down Jonathan and his group.

Anakin was not the least bit worried about dealing with Jonathan and his group; the concept of losing was foreign to him. His only concern was that some of Jonathan's group might slip through the net and escape.

He was determined to take out Jonathan and his entire crew in one fell swoop!

Once Jonathan died, Anakin could finally let go of his concerns. He could then rule as the king without any worries, and his reign would be truly legitimate.

That night was as dark as spilled ink, concealing a silent murderous intent.

Jonathan and his companions had already arrived and were lying low outside the castle.

Just then, a signal emanated from the castle. Then, a clamor arose, soon followed by the sounds of fighting. All that was accompanied by Anakin's furious roars.

“Larry, how dare you betray me? I will kill you!” Anakin bellowed like a wounded beast.

“Did we succeed?” Mabel and the others exclaimed joyfully.

“Should we charge?” Beatrix asked.

“Charge!” Jonathan commanded, simple and direct, leading the charge himself!

Everyone immediately followed behind, rushing in like bolts of lightning.

The castle's estate gate was directly kicked down by Jonathan.

“Who's there?” The vampire guard on duty immediately shouted.

Everyone immediately took action, knocking the guard out in an instant.

They were all vampires, so they didn't wish for excessive slaughter.

Upon entering the estate, figures could be seen everywhere. The first one to appear was Larry, covered in blood, his hair disheveled, fleeing in utter disarray.

Immediately following, the second strongest subordinate under Anakin, Kelvin, led several other experts to launch an attack.

Anakin also staggered out, his body drenched in blood.

Both parties were finally having a face-off.

“Attack!” Jonathan gave the command, his voice fierce and commanding.

Larry hid behind Jonathan and the others.

Both sides were engaged in battle!

After Jonathan commanded his men to attack, he didn't rush forward. Instead, he turned around and asked Larry, “How are you? Are you okay?”

Sneering inwardly, Larry said, “Your Majesty, Anakin took a hit from me. His injuries are severe, and he's definitely done for. However, he managed to land a hit on me too, so I'm afraid I can't assist you anymore.”

“Take a good rest!” Jonathan said to Larry, “Don't worry. You've done me a great favor tonight. I won't

forget your contribution.” As he spoke, he patted Larry on the shoulder.

Naturally, Larry couldn't dodge, as doing so would give him away. He gave a slight smile, allowing Jonathan to pat his shoulder.

But in that instant, a powerful force suddenly surged from Jonathan's hand. It was like a current of electricity rushing toward him. As Larry was about to resist, Torrence pierced him with a sword from behind, leaving Larry on the verge of death.

Torrence and Jonathan were old comrades-in-arms, so their cooperation was exceptionally tacit. As soon as Jonathan made a move, Torrence followed suit.

“You...” A look of surprise and fear flashed in Larry's eyes. He couldn't understand what was happening at all.

Subsequently, Jonathan and Torrence ignored Larry and directly charged Anakin.

Anakin was in the midst of attacking Aurora when he suddenly saw Larry being killed, which left him greatly shocked.

At that moment, Jonathan and Torrence had already arrived in front of Anakin.
