I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Crisis Of Confidence

Jonathan’s sudden appearance sent ripples through Jennifer’s heart. It was as if he had descended from the heavens. Although she did not know any combat arts, she could tell that Randy was a true master.

He was unstoppable. Just then, Jonathan stepped forward and defeated the enemy with one blow.

His heroism reminded Jennifer of her childhood fantasies. Back then, she had always imagined a hero would suddenly appear before her.

At that moment, Jennifer’s impression of Jonathan changed again. She had a hint of admiration for him.

However, the atmosphere of the scene was quite tense at the moment. Jennifer held her breath.

Jonathan was not his usual insouciant self. Instead, he stood as calm as ever and looked at Randy indifferently. Then, he turned his gaze toward Cyclops, who was struggling to get up. Jonathan sneered, “Cyclops, it seems you have forgotten what I told you. You probably think you’d be safe if you get this guy to support you.”

Cyclops suppressed a shiver when his eyes met Jonathan’s. Unknowingly, he took two steps back.

Jonathan ignored Cyclops. He turned to Randy. “Are you here to stand up for Cyclops? Bring it on. Let’s settle this today.” With that said, he raised his fist, ready to strike

His actions had exposed his true temper.

Yet, Randy did not make a move. He stared at Jonathan. “You’re indeed a worthy opponent, but I won’t fight you today. I’m here to resolve grievances.

Jonathan sneered, “You almost killed Landon the minute you got here. Is that how you resolve grievances?”

Randy calmly said, “He attacked me first.”

Jonathan decided not to dwell on the topic. “Fine. Now tell me, how do you plan to resolve grievances?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Randy stated, “We’re all combat artists. There’s no better way than to resolve this with a duel. Three days later, I’ll wait for you at Jade Fencing Club. We’ll sign a liability waiver form on that day, so we won’t have to worry if anyone dies or loses. If you lose, you’ll have to agree to sell Rose Couture to Cyclops at the agreed price. How about that?”

Jonathan said coldly, “You seemed to have everything planned out. What if you lose? Are there any additional conditions?”

Randy asked, “What do you want?”

Jonathan replied, “I want Cyclops to get out of Horington and never step foot in the city ever again.”

Randy nodded and said, “Okay.” He paused for a brief moment and asked, “Do you have the power to make the call for Rose Couture?”

Jonathan responded, “Of course.”

Randy said, “Great. I’ll tell Cyclops to draft the agreement when I get back. I’ll also invite a few seniors in the martial arts world to do a notarization.” With that, he turned around and left.

Cyclops immediately followed.

“How can you make your own decisions without consulting us?” Jessica blamed Jonathan.

Even though Jonathan had saved Landon’s life, Jessica and Yasmin were infuriated that he had taken Rose Couture as a bet.

For a moment, a terrifying thought came to their minds.

What if Jonathan is Cyclops’ spy, and he is only putting up a show to seize the company?

Jonathan was stunned upon seeing how angry Jessica was. At the same time, he noticed the displeased look in Yasmin’s eyes, but she held it back and said nothing.

Jonathan fell silent before he said, “I’m sorry. I was wrong for not discussing it with you beforehand, but don’t worry. You can take my life if I lose.”

With that said, he left Rose Couture without looking back.

His retreating figure somehow seemed lonely and desolate.

Jessica and Yasmin were taken aback. They felt bad all of a sudden.

Although Landon was still terrified by what had just happened, he was curious too. He asked, “Who is this Jonathan?”

He wondered how someone as skilled as Jonathan had suddenly showed up at Rose Couture.

Jessica said, “We don’t know where he came from, but he used to be a security guard in our company. Later, Cyclops kept looking for trouble. Jonathan helped us out, so we decided to let him be our driver and bodyguard.”

“There’s something’s fishy about him,” Landon commented.

Even though Jonathan had rescued Landon, the latter did not feel good about Jonathan. He initially thought that Jonathan was an unprofessional security guard, but Jonathan caught Randy’s attention.

Landon clearly remembered the indifferent gaze Randy had cast on him.

Moreover, Landon did not think that Jonathan was fishy just because he didn’t like the man very much. He thought it was weird that Jonathan had been willing to settle as an ordinary security guard despite possessing impeccable skills.

Yasmin’s and Jessica’s hearts lurched. Stumped for words, they exchanged glances.

“Let’s talk inside,” Yasmin said after a moment of silence.

Landon nodded.

The security guards were not seriously injured. They had gotten up and stood at the side.

Yasmin said to them, “Thank you for your hard work today. Everyone, please go to the finance department later to receive a bonus of five hundred bucks each.”

That was not a small amount. The security guards beamed upon hearing Yasmin’s announcement.

Later, in the CEO’s office, Yasmin and Jessica seemed upset.

They had a bad feeling about Jonathan. They did not want to believe that he was a spy. They were actually getting along with him. They trusted him wholeheartedly.

“Landon, why are you so sure that there’s something wrong with Jonathan?” Yamin asked.

Landon took a deep breath. He looked at Yasmin and said in his deep voice, “Yasmin, you and Jessy are too naïve. With my skills, I can be a rich man’s bodyguard for at least one million a month. As for Jonathan, his skills are immeasurable, yet he’s working as a security guard for you, and only gets several thousand a month. Doesn’t that sound fishy to you?”

Yasmin and Jessica were at a loss for words.

After that, Yasmin told Jessica to bring Landon to rest while she asked Donald to come over to the CEO’s office.

Donald seemed nervous as he sat uncomfortably on the couch.

Yasmin looked at Donald and said, “Mr. Baker, I have something to ask you.”

Donald responded respectfully, “Ms. Smith, please ask away. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Yasmin said, “What kind of person do you think Jonathan is?”

Though a little startled at first, Donald quickly said, “He’s rather insouciant.”

Puzzled, Yasmin thought Donald would say that Jonathan was a good man. She assumed that if Jonathan were a spy, he would have to mask his true self in order to get close to everyone else.

“Oh. Why would you say that?” Yasmin asked.

Slightly embarrassed, Donald knew he had made a blunder. He put on a serious face and explained, “I’m just saying how I really feel about him. Please don’t be bothered if you find my thoughts offensive.”

Yasmin smiled and said, “Of course not.”

Donald continued, “Jonathan is quite carefree. He doesn’t seem to care much about anything, including money.”

Yasmin asked, “Do you think he’s a corporate spy?”

There was a brief moment of silence before Donald responded, “I don’t think so.”

Yasmin uttered, “Why would he work as a mere security guard with such a great skill set?”

Donald stated, “Perhaps he doesn’t have a special reason. He’s just doing whatever he likes because he doesn’t restrict himself.”

Yasmin still could not wrap her head around it. Nevertheless, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Baker. You may go now.”

“Okay, Ms. Smith.” Donald stood up.

After Donald left, Yasmin sank into deep thought. Then, she dialed Jessica’s number.

Yamin asked in a low voice, “Jessy, do you honestly think that Jonathan is a corporate spy?”

Jessica was silent for a long while, then she said, “I don’t think so, but he does seem suspicious.”

Yasmin sighed and hung up the phone.

She decided to look for Jonathan. She rose to her feet.

Meanwhile, Jonathan had walked home as he thought it would be inappropriate to take Yasmin’s car.
