I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 27 Gruesome Battle

Jonathan sensed he was in grave danger, so he immediately unleashed Dragon Claw with his fist.

The technique’s full name was called Dragon Claw Grab, and it allowed the user to grab the opponent effectively.

His Dragon Claw suddenly gripped Randy’s arm tightly.

The nails on his fingers were sharp like swords. Randy’s tendons would split immediately if his arm was caught by the Dragon Claw.

However, Randy sneered and retreated backward.

His single leap carried him three meters back.

Jonathan rushed forward instantly while Randy prepared to unleash a new technique.

It was called Arrow Shot, and it was a unique technique that belonged to Kung Fu. Basically, the user would act as a bow by amassing their power before releasing it all in a single strike.

Usually, in a battle between experts, retreating meant defeat as the opponent would use that opening to unleash the decisive move.

Arrow Shot was a special technique that asked the user to hide their true strength. That way, when the opponent struck again, the user would be able to kill their opponent with a powerful strike.

In an instant, Randy shouted and unleashed the Force he had been building up in his body. His rampaging vitality sprung out like a deadly dragon.

“Ha!” A shockwave was sent forward by Randy’s Steel Punch. The shockwave moved as fast as lightning and hit Jonathan’s chest.

Suddenly, Jonathan had difficulty breathing. He failed to dodge the attack.

The tension was getting incredibly high. From the moment both experts began their fight, their battle had essentially been a thrilling roller coaster ride.

Meanwhile, the spectating masters were on the edge of their seats.

Similarly, Jennifer and the others’ hearts were racing. They were not able to see exactly what happened because the moves were too quick, but they could tell the fight was getting really dangerous.

The Arrow Shot caught Jonathan off guard, and when that technique was combined with Steel Punch, it instantly pushed Jonathan into a corner he might not escape from unscathed. The masters were holding their breaths as they wondered if Jonathan was going to lose like that.

Polly’s hands were covered in sweat.

Suddenly, Jonathan’s posture changed. “Antelope Rhythm!”

Like an antelope running in the mountains, he galloped forward and dodged the shockwave of Steel Punch.

Antelope Rhythm could not be found in any schools of martial arts.

That was because it was a skill Jonathan’s master created by observing how an antelope jumped.

Randy felt like his vision went blurry for a second and lost sight of Jonathan. Not good! He swiftly leaped backward, but it was his mistake.

Jonathan promptly grabbed Randy’s neck with Dragon Claw Grab. However, Randy moved fast and instantly unleashed Major Grab.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Both of their attacks clashed against each other.

They used their moves three times, yet none of them manage to gain an upper hand.

The two of them were quite equally matched.

Jonathan abruptly backed away and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

Upon seeing that, Randy directly grabbed his opponent’s wrist. Without waiting for his opponent to react, he jumped into the air and coiled himself around Jonathan’s body like a snake.

Jonathan sneered and used Dragon Claw to grab Randy’s wrist instead. Then, both of his hands advanced and strangled Randy’s arm.

“Crocodile Bite!” Jonathan released his terrifying strength through his arms and spun Randy’s arm like it was a top.

A crunch was heard as blood poured out.

In that instant, Randy’s arm was completely ripped out by Jonathan’s bare hands. Randy’s eyes turned red as he roared. His legs swiftly clenched around Jonathan’s waist with great force. He had gathered all his remaining vitality at his legs in an attempt to crush Jonathan. It was so powerful that it likely could have crushed a pillar of metal.

Jonathan almost blacked out from the attack. Therefore, without any other choice, he committed a death blow in order to save his own life.

Bang!

His punch made contact with Randy’s brain.

Randy instantly fainted as blood rushed out of every hole in his head. He died on the spot.

His body, of course, lost all strength and fell to the ground.

Jonathan appeared to be quite shaken as he fell down, too. That was way too much of a close call! In the beginning, both of them were fighting rather conservatively. Because of that, they were evenly matched. Thus, Jonathan created an opening to let Randy advance.

He had a pretty good idea of how Randy fought, so he decided he must allow the advancement to happen. His Crocodile Bite attack was prepared for Randy.

What he did not expect was how powerful Randy’s legs were. It was a miscalculation on his part that almost got him killed.

If Jonathan had not used Crocodile Bite in advance to tear off Randy’s arm and weaken him, Jonathan would have died instead.

Even then, if Jonathan had not killed Randy in time, his internal organs would have been crushed by the inhuman strength of Randy’s legs.

The battle was way too gruesome.

“Randy!” Cyclops cried out when he saw his friend had perished in the battle. Without hesitation, he rushed toward Jonathan with the intention of killing him.

At that point, Jonathan had not returned to his senses yet, and his mind was still in a daze. He did not even know he had already killed Randy.

Cyclops ran so fast that Jonathan did not have the chance to realize he was about to die.

At that moment, an even faster figure rushed out.

Polly arrived in front of Jonathan in the nick of time and sneered, “How insolent!”

Bang!

She kicked Cyclops and sent him flying. He landed a couple of meters away and stopped moving.

“Since the fight is over, we’ll be taking our leave now,” she informed after turning to the masters. Then, she helped Jonathan up and swiftly left with the Xanthos brothers.

Jennifer followed behind them dumbfoundedly.

It was the first time she saw a dead person.

Yasmin and Jessica were similarly shaken too.

Jonathan only returned to his senses after he got in the car. Polly sat by his side while Jennifer sat in the front passenger seat, and Donovan was the one driving the car.

“Where are we going?” asked Jonathan.

“To my coffee house,” Polly answered.

He grew silent for a few moments before speaking up again. “Thank you. I’ll forever remember what you did for me.”

She smiled plainly. “I didn’t do anything much. You’re the one who’s more impressive. For the sake of Yasmin and Jessica, you put your life on the line and almost died. I don’t think they really appreciated what you did for them. Also, I don’t think the people from Strikezone Martial Arts are going to stay quiet

after you killed Randy today. If he hadn’t died, then they probably would’ve upheld the promise he made.”

“I had no choice.” Jonathan’s spoke with lowered voice.

“I know. That’s why I didn’t ask you not to kill Randy. My suggestion for you right now is to leave Horington.”

Jennifer’s heart thumped, but she did not say anything.

Jonathan grew silent as well.

“What’s wrong?” Polly asked.

A faint sigh escaped his mouth. “If I leave, Yasmin and the others will have to clean up the mess themselves. It’s not how I do things.”

Her eyebrows furrowed. “Then I don’t understand you. Why do you want to help the two of them?”

He reluctantly replied, “Yasmin’s brother is my comrade, and he’s dead.”

Polly and Jennifer were both stunned upon hearing Jonathan’s explanation.

Jennifer finally understood why he came to Horington and decided to become a security guard despite his incredible strength. He’s trying to protect Yasmin in secret. What an incredible man he is. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I want to return to my home, Polly,” Jonathan abruptly requested.

Hearing that, Polly nodded. “Okay.”

“Also, I hope you all will keep the secret about my connection with Yasmin.”

“I will!” replied Polly.

Half an hour later, Jennifer and Jonathan got out of the car. Before long, the others drove off as well.

Jennifer stared at him caringly when it was just the two of them. “Are you okay?”

He shook his head. “I’m fine.”

Both of them entered Jonathan’s messy rental room.

He sat on the bed silently as she poured him a cup of water.

After he accepted the glass of water, he turned to Jennifer and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of me, Jennifer?”

The question stunned Jennifer for a second before she shook her head. “Not at all.”

Truth be told, she was a little afraid when her mind flashed back to the scene of him killing someone. However, she knew she should not say that at the moment. Besides, she respected and admired him.

Jennifer recalled something and asked, “Won’t you get into trouble for killing someone?”

“Not really. We signed the liability waiver, so Cyclops and the others will take care of it.”

“What about the disciples from Strikezone Martial Arts? Won’t they come looking for trouble?”

“It’ll be quite troublesome, but I don’t know for sure.” Jonathan turned to her and sighed in his mind. Guess the good days are over now. There’s no escaping from a big problem like this.

At that moment, Jennifer’s heart churned as her emotions grew complicated.

Jonathan’s phone abruptly rang. It was a call from Jessica.

He answered the call, and Jessica’s voice immediately came through. She sounded as though she had a very complicated feeling. “I want to meet you, Jonathan.”

He could tell it took a lot of courage for her to make the call. Therefore, he did not put her in an even more difficult spot and spoke in a casual tone instead. “Where are you right now? I’ll come and find you.”

Her mood was lifted a little when she felt the care he expressed in his voice. “I’m at home right now. You should come over.”

Jonathan was slightly surprised. “Okay!”

After hanging up the phone, he turned to Jennifer and said, “I’ll be going out now, Jennifer.”

She nodded absent-mindedly.

A faint sigh slipped through his mouth before he left the room silently.

Then, Jonathan got into his AMC Gremlin, turned on the engine, and drove all the way to Maple Mansion.

Half an hour later, he arrived outside of the area the mansion was in. The security guard there followed the rules strictly and refused to let him in. He resignedly called Jessica to let him in. She immediately arrived to welcome him and asked the security guard to let him in.

Her graceful and classy red dress was still worn on her body.

Jonathan followed her into the mansion and asked, “Where’s Yasmin?”

“She went to the company,” Jessica answered.

“What about your cousin?”

“He’s back in Fairlake.”

“I see.” He did not know what to say next.

Their relationship had changed a lot. They could no longer joke about and with each other anymore.

Jessica’s expression was calm, so Jonathan had no idea what she was thinking.

The mansion was a duplex. The living room was clean and elegant, and the floor was lined with red- colored carpet.

The two sat on the couch.

It was then Jonathan noticed there were bottles of wine on the coffee table and that there was a scent of alcohol on Jessica’s body. It was obvious she had been drinking. Her hair was draped behind her head as she looked somewhat languid. It unironically made her look a little more stylish than usual.

Jessica grabbed another wine cup for him and suggested, “Let’s drink a little.”

He smiled. “I can drink a little, but I’m scared you’re going to beat me after you get drunk. How will I be able to defend against you if you make your move on me?”

Jonathan’s words stunned Jessica for a second before joy was seen flashing past the edge of her eyes. She was happy that he was still able to joke with her and that he had a big heart.

Her eyes suddenly became wet as a single tear streamed down her cheek. “I’m sorry.”

Jonathan smirked. “There’s no need for you to apologize. I never blamed you all.”

Her voice was starting to sound emotional. “You risked your life to help us, yet we suspected and doubted you. Why aren’t you blaming us for what we did? I think I’ll feel better if you scold me.”

Jonathan raised his cup and took a sip of the wine. “Don’t think like that, Jessy. Trust is something that needs time to build up. It’s only natural you’ll be suspicious of me, a person who suddenly popped into your lives without warning.”

At that moment, he seemed more like a mature man than a perverted security guard.

Jessica calmed down and continued, “You also just came to know Polly not too long ago, yet she trusts you completely. I don’t think I deserve the kindness you’re showing us.”

Jonathan stared at her and thought she was actually quite kind. “Polly is an expert like me. That’s why she opened up to me much more quickly.”

“You really don’t blame us at all?” Jessica asked with tearful eyes.

He smiled a bit bitterly. “Why would I have come here if I blame you?”

Jessica finally let out a long sigh of relief. “Then I expect to see you at the company tomorrow.”

He nodded. “Of course.”
