I Am Unstoppable -
Chapter 148
Chapter 148
For someone who took good care of his personal hygiene, the stink coming from the sewage river hadnearly made Logan puke. Deep down, he pondered for a moment, then decided not to jump into theriver. I can always replace another chance to murder him, but there's no way I will ever jump into thissewage river.
This was what distinguished Jonathan from Logan and Bianca. While Logan and Bianca were bothexperts in cultivation, Jonathan played the role of a mercenary. For a group of mercenaries, they couldnever reject whatever duty that was thrown at them, even if it meant jumping into a cesspit and stayingin there for a few nights.
On the other hand, as disciples who cultivated martial arts, Logan and Bianca could never bringthemselves to do such a thing.
Not long after, Bianca caught up with Logan. The moment she saw the sewage river, she immediatelyunderstood where Jonathan could have gone to. Realizing that Jonathan had escaped, she could nothelp but become utterly enraged and questioned Logan, “Why didn't you jump into the river and chaseafter him?”
Speechless, Logan rolled his eyes and replied, “Show it to me first, then I'll follow you.”
Bianca glanced at the dirty river again. Me? No way! Despite this, she was still fuming with anger andhatred.
Seeing how furious Bianca was, Logan immediately tried to calm her down, “Jonathan has suffered asevere smack from me. My Force reached his bone marrows, so I don't think he is able to recoveranytime soon.”
Bianca stared at the meandering sewage river. Knowing their abilities, Bianca was clearly aware that itwould be extremely difficult to track Jonathan down, even if she ganged up with Logan.
On the other side, Jonathan held his breath and swam his way out along the sewage river. The riverwas so cold that he was chilled to the bone.
Jonathan could sense that the muscles on his shoulders had been impaired by Logan. Moreover, thevigor from Logan's smack was so powerful that it damaged his bone marrows. This resulted intremendous damage to Jonathan's vitality, as though his force field had been destroyed at the sametime. Moreover, what intrigued Jonathan was that he could actually feel his stage of Nascent Soulbeing disrupted.
It seemed as though he had regressed from Nascent Soul to Peak Neutralizing Force.
Even Logan himself can be so scary, not to mention how horrifying Jeremy must be?
Just the thought of it sent chills down Jonathan's spine.
Whoosh!
Jonathan continued to swim forward. He was not rushing to leave the river despite the dirty sewage.Instead, he found a perfect corner and quietly revealed his head out of the river to deeply inhale somefresh air several times before diving into the river again.
After that, he attempted to circulate the vitality within his body, hoping that it would dissipate Logan'svigor. To his disappointment, no matter how many times Jonathan tried, it was to no avail.
“Sh*t!” Jonathan cursed as he could not help but feel deprived.
D*mn it! When I was at Peak Neutralizing Force, I used to believe that the final stage of Nascent Soulwas invincible. But how come when I finally reached Nascent Soul, I have to encounter a maniac ascrazy as Logan? Am I not worthy of a sense of achievement, no matter how little?
Nevertheless, Jonathan did not know it was actually because when his cultivation stage levitated, sowould his standing.
The same way worked for other people. For instance, when someone was merely a millionaire,everything he could come in touch with remained within the social circle among millionaires. However,one day when he became a multimillionaire, the stratum he could then integrate into would becompletely different.
Jonathan patiently waited until the sky turned dark. He left the dirty sewage river only after he wasassured that it was safe for him to leave.
While the river was indeed frigid and soaked him in coldness, Jonathan would not fall sick so easilygiven his strong immune system.
He removed his jacket and took his phone out. As he had expected, his phone had long died and couldnot function anymore. Jonathan could not afford to stay any longer. Without a moment of delay, hehurriedly left the scene.
Jonathan took extra caution when returning. He made his way back by taking a rather hidden alley.Deep down, he could not deny his worry that Bianca and Logan might be expecting him somewhere.
D*mn it! I can't even call out for help. How miserable!
Along the lane that Jonathan took, not even a bird could be spotted when the night struck, not tomention bumping into another human being to borrow a phone.
Nevertheless, fortunately for Jonathan, throughout his entire journey back to the city, he did not comeacross Bianca and Logan.
Jonathan stood amid the bustling city of Yaleview and gazed into the night. Not long after, a taxistopped right in front of him.
Since Jonathan was once traumatized when taking a taxi, he wanted to first check on the taxi driver toensure that it was safe before getting into the taxi. However, the driver only took a glimpse of Jonathanand then swiftly covered his nose, as Jonathan smelled extremely intolerable right now.
The driver instantly drove his taxi away.
“Sh*t!” Watching the taxi disappear into the dark, Jonathan uttered a curse irritably.
Left with no choice, Jonathan could only return to Appleton Residences on foot. Indeed, no driverwould be as kindhearted as to pick him up considering how horrible he looked and how unendurable hesmelled right now.
Jonathan walked at a steadily fast pace. He made it to the Appleton Residences after half an hour. Heentered the elevator and arrived at the third floor soon after.
When Jonathan finally set his foot at the door of Mabel's house, he let out a gentle sigh of relief. I amhome safely at last.
He took out his keys, unlocked the door open, then entered Mabel's apartment.
The apartment was dark and quiet, signaling that Mabel was apparently not home yet.
Jonathan was about to turn the lights on when he heard a voice that made him sweat buckets.
“Welcome back!” The person was Logan.
Jonathan immediately turned over and spotted Logan, who was sitting on the couch.
At the same time, Bianca also walked into Jonathan's sight from the balcony.
Bianca then switched on the lights with the remote control in her hand.
Jonathan subconsciously wanted to run away from the scene without further ado, yet the door behindhim had been locked by himself just now. Silently, Jonathan contemplated that if he dared to open thedoor, Logan would definitely take the chance to finish him off. What was more, Jonathan was stillinjured, therefore his cultivation was definitely weaker than Logan's at this moment.
Jonathan found himself barely able to suppress his fear any longer and wanted to cry so badly. D*mn it!I have taken anything possible into account and tried my best to avoid everything, yet I still missed thisimportant part out!
With his black outfit and white hair, Logan smiled gently. His smile was filled with evil charm under the
lights. Logan sneered at Jonathan, “Well, I guess it wasn't too bad inside the dirty river? Of course, if Iwere you, I would be vexed too. Had I known this would happen, I would rather die in the first place.”The next moment, he frowned and continued, “You seriously smell horrendous right now. How aboutwe make a deal? I will not torture you anymore, on the condition that you take your own life. You shouldhave understood that Bianca will rip you into a million pieces if I catch you alive.”
Jonathan smiled bitterly. “I came to the wrong door. Can we start all over again?”
Logan burst out laughing. “How interesting! However, you better drop the stupid idea of running away,because once I notice you making any nasty move, I will definitely sever your arms straight away.”Jonathan could feel the coldness behind Logan's words even though he appeared to be smiling.
Jonathan was certainly aware that Logan never joked around.
Jonathan strongly felt that he must have reached a dead end this time. He privately blamed himself forhis carelessness. How stupid I am! I could have avoided the two crises if I had been more careful. Now,I've landed myself in this hell!
Yet, it did not come to Jonathan's mind that the reason behind his unusual and reckless behavior wasactually that he had encountered too many problems that same day. Both the treacly melancholy frombreaking up with Jennifer as well as the sadness that Amber went through put Jonathan in devastation.More unthinkably, the unconfirmed marriage that was just around the corner almost suffocated him aswell.
With multiple emotions intertwining within Jonathan, it was understandable that he was unable to retainhis usual thought process.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Jonathan would not have committed a mistake as stupid asgoing straight into the apartment without a second thought.
At this crucial moment, an angel-like voice traveled into Jonathan's ears.
“How shameless. It is my house. How dare you two act so presumptuously.” The voice was stern andfilled with an intense aura that could not be ignored. It was Mabel!
Her voice came from the bedroom.
Jonathan instantly brimmed with joy and surprise. D*mn it! Mabel, so you were actually at home! Ha!Heaven is on my side!
Upon hearing Mabel's voice, the expressions on both Logan's and Bianca's faces instantly changed.
Logan was thunderstruck because he did not even realize that there was actually another personhiding inside the apartment.
Logan and Bianca instantly exchanged gazes. The desire to murder flashed across their eyes, and theysilently decided to take Jonathan's life first.
Out of their expectation, right when they were just about to execute their plan, Mabel started to talkagain.
“I advise you two not to do so.” Mabel stated, “Trust me. If you two ever take anyone's life in my house,even your master, Jeremy, will be unable to come to your rescue!”
Logan's body shivered, and he immediately rid his desire to take Jonathan's life. However, Mabel'swords fell on deaf ears for Bianca. Bianca ignored Mabel and rushed over to attack Jonathan.
Bianca's body moved forward so swiftly that in the blink of an eye, she was already standing in front ofJonathan with her Esberg dagger stabbing toward him like a meteor shot.
Jonathan could feel the hostility in her eyes. Bianca's desire to take his life was clearly intimidating.
While Jonathan suffered from some injuries beforehand, he was not as weak as a kitten. Without amoment of delay, he resorted to the dirty move of kicking between Bianca's legs, no matter how low ofhim it seemed.
His move irritated Bianca. Without hesitation, Jonathan proceeded to apply the Shadow Step andAntelope Rhythm, which were the two eminent skills that he mastered.
In the meantime, Mabel pushed the door open and stormed out of the bedroom. Jonathan hurriedlyfound his way to the front of Mabel.
Mabel, with a black windbreaker and her hair down, looked like an aloof goddess.
Bianca quickly chased after them.
Bianca was indeed out of her mind. She was not afraid of anything. The only thing she wanted was totake Jonathan's life.
Once Bianca caught up with them, Mabel stood in front of Jonathan and protected him behind herback.
Bianca aimed at Mabel's chest with her Esberg dagger, her moves as fast as lightning.
Mabel snorted coldly, then kicked forcefully toward Bianca's abdomen.
Bang! Before Bianca could react, she was already kicked over and thrown violently onto the ground.
Seeing this situation, Jonathan was dumbfounded. He had never expected that Mabel's cultivation hadescalated to this stage. Her kick at Bianca looked extremely impressive.
Jonathan had actually tried to kick Bianca several times, yet she managed to avoid all of them.
D*mn it! So that's the difference between me and her!
Logan frowned and stared at Bianca. The latter immediately got herself up from the ground.
With a rather emotionless tone, Mabel said, “Bianca, count yourself lucky. If not because of the Youngfamily and your master, you would have been dead by now.”
Bianca's face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Suddenly, she turned to Logan in a fury and asked angrily, “Why didn't you do anything?”
Logan answered Bianca sternly, “She is the chief of the sixth division. We can't afford to take people'slives in front of her.” He then paused, turned to Mabel, and said softly, “Chief Sandler, it has been awhile. I never imagined that you would be this formidable.”
Mabel smiled plainly. “Well, things that you don't know are a lot more than you could ever imagine.Now, get out of my sight, both of you.”
“You...” Bianca was outraged. She coughed out another mouthful of blood again.
In contrast, Logan did not say more. “Let's go!”
Logan then leaned Bianca against himself and left together. However reluctantly, Bianca knew too wellthat there was no way for her to take Jonathan's life that day.
After they had left, Jonathan let out a sigh of relief.
Cold sweat droplets ran down his body. What a near miss from death!
Nevertheless, Jonathan was puzzled. “Why didn't you just take their lives just now? Once they aredead, we have nothing else to worry about.”
Mabel frowned at the horrible smell coming from Jonathan's body. She then instructed Jonathan, “Youbetter clean yourself first before we discuss anything. I will ask someone to bring you some newclothes.”
It was at this time that Jonathan realized how horrible his body smelled. He was previously toooccupied by the sticky situation to register his awful smell and horrendous look. With a rather guilty andrestrained smile, Jonathan entered the bathroom.
He felt intensely satisfied and pleasant after getting a hot shower.
Meanwhile, Logan and Bianca were leaving Appleton Residences. Once they stepped out of the area,Bianca pushed Logan away. She stared at Logan in fury and shouted at him, “Why didn't you fightback? If you did, that trash would be dead by now.”
Logan frowned and replied in a resigned manner, “Bianca, you should know that we were at Mabel'shouse. She is the chief of the sixth division at the Department of National Security. If we murder anyonein front of her, do you think we can get away with it? If she mobilizes the government against us, evenour master won't be able to keep our lives safe.”
