I Am Unstoppable
Chapter 196

Chapter 196

Comrade - this word had become a meaningless word in the current society.

At that moment, Simon, Elijah, and Lesley stood up without hesitation as they called out, “Ourcomrade!”

Jonathan felt an unknown sensation upon hearing that. He could feel a sense of warmth in his chest.There's nothing to fear when I have my comrades with me!

At that moment, the eyes of Jonathan and the others were glimmering. They stared at Lucio untilLucio's dominant aura was slowly suppressed by them.

A glimmer of unnoticeable astonishment flickered across Lucio's eyes. He could not believe Jonathanwas able to bring people together so quickly.

However, he was not willing to accept defeat so easily.

Lucio looked at Simon and said, “Simon, do you know the consequences you will face when you makethis choice? All of you can't be together forever. There are always chances to kill any of you. As amaster who has reached the final stage of Nascent Soul, why are you still fixated on loyalty like a littlegangster? Don't you replace it ridiculous?”

Lucio was a cunning person. He could tell that Simon was the leader of the group of people.

Simon said calmly, “Lucio, thank you for your kind words. I do have some understanding of the grudgebetween you and Jonathan. However, your actions are definitely not what an upright person should bedoing. Moreover, you're already a Gold disciple in Divine Realm and no longer a mortal. However,

you're still so fixated on a small matter when you're supposed to have a broader horizon. This seemslike an unwise decision.”

He paused before continuing, “There's no doubt you're stronger than us now. However, you shouldn'tforget that you're almost seventy years old, aren't you? What about us? We're still young and haveunlimited potential. Also, four out of five of us are the Chosen Ones. The Chosen Ones have destiniesto fulfill. To go against fate is foolish.”

Jonathan was surprised upon hearing Simon's words. There are four Chosen Ones? I didn't evennotice.

Since Simon was so certain, Jonathan believed him.

He could deduce that Simon and Lesley were also Chosen Ones, whereas he felt that Elijah did notseem to be one.

The world works in mysterious ways. There were many life-and-death situations on Ophidian Island.Only a few Chosen Ones were able to survive. Although the Chosen One is a man chosen by theHeavens, there are still some differences.

Lucio's gaze was cold as he said, “Kid, there are many Chosen Ones. It's just a sign of a chaotic world.You're just luckier than ordinary people. Do you think that can be something you rely on?”

Simon replied, “Since you're still so stubborn, I have nothing more to say. We're all on Jonathan's side.You can try to kill us.”

Lucio nodded and said, “Good, good. Today, I'll see what you kids are capable of.”

With that, he headed upstairs.

Lucio was not scared of Simon and the others.

If Simon and the others killed him, they would not be able to escape Divine Realm's punishment.

Even if they just hurt Lucio, it would be difficult for them to explain to The Inquisition.

However, Lucio could kill them as he pleased. Even after he killed them, he would only receive awarning from The Inquisition.

This was because Lucio was acting accordingly to the rules.

Upon seeing that Lucio was still insistent on fighting, Jonathan's heart sank.

He definitely understood the pros and cons of the situation.

Once they started fighting, bloodshed was inevitable.

They were powerful fighters, so it was very likely to cause casualties while fighting.

Once they started fighting, even if Jonathan's side won, they would still be placed in a situation wherethey would never be able to recover.

It was at this point Simon's eyes turned cold.

He said coldly, “All right. Since this sly bast*rd insists on fighting with us today, we will treat it like weare returning the lives we got back from Ophidian Island. We will be unable to avoid the punishment ofoffending a superior. Listen to me carefully. We're going in with full strength and force. Let's kill this slybast*rd today.”

In an instant, murderous intent appeared in Simon's eyes.

His mind was clouded by his thirst to kill.

When he said to eliminate Lucio, he really meant it. Someone like him at his cultivation stage was aman of his word.

Since Simon had spoken, Jonathan and the others immediately roared back, “Yes! Kill him!” Instantly,their terrifying killing intents pervaded the surroundings.

Lucio stopped in his tracks when he felt the terrifying bloodlust.

He thought he had struck Simon and the others on their Achilles' heels.

However, he did not expect these young men to be this extraordinary and have such horrifyingmurderous auras.

Although Lucio was powerful, these young men were also very outstanding fighters. He did not think hewould be able to win against them alone.

If they really fought, Lucio knew that he would die in this battle.

If he died, it would be pointless to him even if these people received punishments.

Jonathan was powerful, but Simon was even more powerful.

It was natural for Simon to be powerful since he was able to lead Jonathan and the others.

Lucio had underestimated Simon's determination. However, he had already made his intentions known.He wanted to back out, but his ego prevented him from doing so.

He could lose his life, but not his pride.

Lucio took a deep breath and made a decision. I'll just fight to the end. I had a reputable life. Whyshould I be scared of these young kids?

In an instant, Lucio exuded an astounding and powerful aura.

He was going to execute a deadly move, Peacock King Strike.

Just as the battle was about to start, a yell sounded from outside the entrance. “Stop!”

It was Lailah.

She was wearing a white cloak, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders.

It was undeniable that Lailah was beautiful and had the aura of a leader.

Everyone was amazed by her.

She looked completely different from when she was in military uniform. They were two completelycontrasting styles.

Of course, no one had the time to focus on Lailah's beauty.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her shout.

Lucio, Simon, and the others were unable to control the situation anymore. Although they did not wantthe situation to intensify, they had no choice.

Lailah's appearance was godsend.

Lucio's imposing aura quickly disappeared, replaced with a state of calmness.

Simon's and the others' murderous auras also disappeared. The looks in their eyes became clear.

Lailah walked in, and the surroundings were filled with a faint fragrance.

“What happened?” she asked as she looked at everyone.

Lailah was an inner disciple. Even Lucio had to show respect to her. He politely replied, “Ms. Hall, theywere new here, so I was just joking with them.”

Lailah coldly retorted, “Is the joke over then?”

Lucio immediately replied, “Yes!”

“So, can you leave now?” Lailah asked.

Lucio instinctively said, “Yes, Ms. Hall! I'm leaving.” Then, he turned around and left.

A huge crisis was averted with just a few words from Lailah.

Jonathan and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, Jonathan was puzzled. Was it really a coincidence that Lailah came here?

“Thank you, Ms. Hall!” Simon said as he brought everyone downstairs.

Lailah swept her gaze at everyone and sat on the couch in the living room. Then, she said, “Come overhere and sit down.”

Everyone immediately went over to the couch beside her and sat down.

After everyone had settled down, Lailah said, “I only found out about the grudge between Lucio andJonathan. After replaceing out about it, I knew that he would come to replace Jonathan. That's why I rushedover here immediately.” She paused before continuing, “I'm sure all of you are curious as to why Ihelped you. Right?”

Simon replied, “That's right.”

Lailah said in a serious tone, “There are still many things that you do not understand about the inner

circle of Divine Realm. Also, there's a power struggle in the inner circle. It is no secret. You will replace itout sooner or later. For now, there are three factions in the inner circle. First, it's Oswald's faction whereOswald Anderson is the leader. He runs The Inquisition. Next is Richard Norris' faction. He's in chargeof the Luminary Vessel. Last but not least, it is Gideon Carnell's faction to which I belong. MasterGideon runs the administration department. All the disciples from this year's recruitment are underGideon's faction. Master has personally asked me to take care of you. Therefore, all of you belong toGideon's faction.”

Jonathan's expression changed slightly. If I could choose my faction, I would pick Richard's faction.

Lailah's gaze swept across the crowd, and she said, “Every external disciple is in one of the threefactions. The three factions take turns organizing the recruitment of new disciples every year. Themoment you stepped foot in Divine Realm, you have been imprinted with the mark of Gideon's faction.”She paused before continuing, “I know what you're thinking. If you could choose, you would chooseRichard's faction because they have unlimited elixir pills, right?”

Jonathan and the others all felt slightly embarrassed but did not deny Lailah's words. It would be toopretentious to deny at that point.

Lailah continued, “It would be the biggest mistake to think about it that way. Although Richard's factionis in charge of the Luminary Vessel, they are only responsible for making the elixir pills. Every elixir pillmade by them has to be given to Olympus. Then, Olympus will distribute the elixir pills.”

Jonathan was puzzled and asked, “Olympus? Is Olympus another faction?”

Lailah answered, “Divine Emperor controls Olympus directly. No one dares to tamper with anythingrelated to Divine Emperor. Do you understand? So, even if Richard's faction is in charge of the

Luminary Vessel, they don't have any advantages in terms of elixir pills. It's the same as us.”

Everyone was enlightened.

Lailah continued, “As for now, Oswald's faction controls The Inquisition. There are a few outstandingdisciples in their faction. Therefore, their faction is the most powerful currently.” She paused andcontinued, “Master Gideon has high regards for all of you here and hopes that you will succeed soon.This is so that our faction has enough power to face off Oswald's faction.”

Jonathan and the others could not help but feel immensely pressured.

Lailah continued, “It's not something that can be changed overnight. You don't have to feel pressured.The most important thing now is for you to rise up to Silver. Or else, if Lucio replaces your weaknesses, wewon't be able to protect you. Also, he is from Oswald's faction. They have always been an arrogantbunch.”
