Chapter 307

Beatrix and Mabel were equally curious, so they turned to look at Jeff.

Jeff said, “Cacodemons are born with powerful demonic energy. In fact, they're considered kings of allthe demons in the world. Cacodemons are so rare that only one emerges every one thousand years. Itcan do many evil things if given the chance to rule all the demons.”

Jonathan and the others were shocked.

Even Zoe found it unbelievable.

After recollecting himself, Jonathan asked, “What will happen if the cacodemon is born in Chanaea?”

He believed there was no need for the people of Daphunova Temple to pursue so closely if thecacodemon would only bring trouble upon Chanaea after being born here.

Jeff answered, “The cacodemon is a creature with brains. Its origin is in Thymion. That means its baseis there, so it definitely has to return to Thymion.”

“Then what do you think we should do, Chief Yount?”

“I don't have an answer for now. I'll need to take her back and have a thorough examination.”

Those words frightened Zoe, and she quickly glanced at Jonathan. “Mr. Lawson?”

Looking serious, Jonathan said, “Zoe, no matter how great a mother's love for her child is, you have tounderstand the seriousness of this matter. If this child is born, it won't have any emotional attachments

to you. Instead, it'll bring disaster upon the country. Besides, you're still young. You can still pursue abetter future.”

Zoe looked sad, but she said nothing.

At that moment, Jonathan could sense that Zoe was feeling hopeless. There was even a hint ofresentment.

Jonathan only let out a gentle sigh. He could not be bothered to care about so much anymore.

Soon after, Jeff brought Zoe away, leaving Jonathan, Beatrix, and Mabel alone in the house.

Feeling dispirited, the trio began clearing the table. After that, Mabel said, “Jonathan, can you take awalk with me?”

“Okay.” Jonathan did not decline, knowing what Mabel was feeling.

The two went down and got into the car, with Jonathan driving and Mabel in the passenger seat.

The scenery kept changing as Jonathan drove the car steadily along the road.

Mabel started, “I'm planning to stay in my house from tomorrow onward.” There was an inexplicabletrace of loneliness and reluctance in her tone. “I've been away from home most of the time ever since Iwas born. I always thought I had a lot of time to be with my family. But now, I don't have much time left,and I can't keep deceiving myself.”

Jonathan could not bring himself to say anything.

Mabel continued, “You don't have to be sad. You've helped me so much, and I owe you a lot. In fact,you're the one who's been helping me in all our years of friendship instead of it being the other wayaround. Even if you do your best to help me now, whatever happens is still up to my fate.”

“I believe there's a way to cure you,” Jonathan said through clenched teeth.

Mabel merely smiled. Instead of responding to his words, she said, “I used to think I can be nonchalantabout death. I even thought I could serve the country with all my heart and soul. Now, I realized I havemany regrets. There are so many places I haven't been to, and I haven't even dated anyone. My lifefeels incomplete if it ends just like that.”

“It's not the end yet. We still have a chance. Please don't give up so soon,” pleaded Jonathan asanguish flashed across his eyes.

“I haven't given up. I will continue fighting if there's a chance. But I just want to go home to make up formy regrets. I just hope I can leave the world with fewer regrets if I can't avoid my fate. Do youunderstand what I mean?”

Jonathan fell silent.

Mabel went on, “All relationships, be it friendships, romantic or familial relationships, they're all thesame. If we can't get along with someone, then we must forget that person. You, however, will besomeone I'll remember for life. I'll never forget I had a true friend like you in my life.”

“How will you remember if you're dead? You can't even get into the time loop, nor can you reincarnate.You'll just return to dust.”

Mabel smiled bitterly. “That's how cruel reality can be, but you're not here to remind me about it.”

That night, Beatrix, Mabel, and Jonathan began drinking away.

After all, only getting drunk could rid them of all their worries at that moment.

Not that they did not want to replace a solution, but they did not know how or where to begin.

The Infant King's subordinates were like dust in the wind that left no traces behind. It gave the trio nochance to plan an attack.

The subordinates were absolutely nowhere to be found.

By the time it was seven in the evening, Jonathan and the other two were already slightly drunk.

It was then Jeff dialed Mabel's number.

Upon answering the call, Mabel chuckled and said, “Jeff, are you thinking of getting a drink, too?”

She was completely unrestrained, and there was a hint of innocence in her joke. It was a rare sight.

Jonathan could not help but feel a stab in his heart.

Mabel had always been as graceful and proper as a goddess. But now, she looked like a fallen angel.

“Listen to me, Mabel. I think I'm close to saving you. Wait for me. I'll be right there,” Jeff said.

With that, he hung up.

Mabel's eyes gleamed with joy.

“What's wrong?” asked Jonathan and Beatrix.

“Jeff says he found a way to save me.”

Jonathan and Beatrix were delighted to hear that.

With excitement bubbling in their hearts, they waited for Jeff to arrive.

Jeff arrived with Zoe, who was unconscious, half an hour later because he had given her some kind ofsleeping drug.

“Jonathan, take her to the room,” said Jeff.

Jonathan responded swiftly. He would do anything as long as Jeff had a way to save Mabel.

Jonathan carefully placed Zoe on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Truth be told, he felt rather sorry for Zoe, but he could not afford to dwell on his emotions.

He stepped out of the room and shut the door.

Everyone sat on the couch, and Jeff began explaining, “When a cacodemon dominates the otherdemons, it forms a network of negative energy objects. I can create a formation through thecacodemon and replace the Infant King's subordinates.”

Jonathan and the others were overjoyed by the news. However, Jonathan quickly voiced, “But thecacodemon isn't mature yet, and Mabel doesn't have much time left.”

“It's just the embryo that's not mature. The cacodemon won't be affected. In fact, the cacodemon willleap out of the embryo when the time is right. Currently, its mind is not functioning yet, and it hasn'tgained the ability to move. This is probably the luckiest situation I've ever encountered so far. I guessit's still not time for you to die yet, Mabel. I can't believe the cacodemon actually delivered itself to us ona silver platter.”

Jonathan rubbed his nose and said, “Hey, you can't put it that way. It's all because of the good deeds Idid.” After a momentary pause, he asked solemnly, “Does that mean the child is a goner?”

Jeff nodded. “No matter what, the child should not be born. If the cacodemon matures by leveragingthe embryo, its powers will increase greatly, which will complicate the situation. It'll also give the peopleof Daphunova Temple a headache. Once the cacodemon grows up, it'll be a disaster. The cacodemonis currently unconscious in the womb. Now is our best chance.”

“Zoe will be fine, right?” asked Jonathan hurriedly.

“She's eight months into the pregnancy. Performing a C-section might not be beneficial for the child, butit'll keep her alive. It's a good thing that we never wanted to keep the child.”

Jonathan fell silent. He thought the entire situation was extremely unfair and cruel to Zoe.

Even so, his heart did not soften. After all, he knew well the gravity of the situation, and he was adecisive person.

Even if Zoe and the baby were good people or the cacodemon was not supposed to be born, Jonathanwould do the necessary evil as long as it could save Mabel's life.

A person will be easily swayed if they are not ruthless.

Jonathan would never be indecisive at a critical time.

He urged grimly, “If that's the case, let's not waste any time and contact the hospital to arrange for a C-section right away.”

Mabel, however, seemed to be a little hesitant. “Is this really okay?” Deep down, she felt that the planwas immoral.

Jeff answered, “By doing this, we're hitting two birds with one stone. We can restrain the cacodemonand prevent it from causing Thymion trouble. Besides, Zoe might die if the people of DaphunovaTemple capture her. To them, she's already an evil being. There's no way they'll let her live.”

Mabel breathed a sigh of relief, feeling less guilty upon hearing his words.

Jeff added, “I've already made the arrangements with the hospital and asked a specialist to bring theinstruments to the underground base in Pearl Building to perform the surgery. I've set up the formationas well.”

“Let's go, then,” Jonathan prompted, then returned to the room and carried Zoe out.

When he regrouped with the others, he asked, “Jeff, you've been the most dependable person indealing with this matter so far. Then again, why did you bring her here when we still have to bring herback, anyway? Isn't it troublesome?”

Jeff said, “The experts of Daphunova Temple have already appeared in Yaleview. We can't affordmistakes when the stakes are so high. I figured it's safer to keep her near me.”

Mabel piped up, “You should've asked us to go to you, then.”

“Oh, it's no trouble, anyway. Come on. Let's go.”

With that, all of them left the residential area, with Jonathan being the driver, as usual.

They sped all the way to Pearl Building.

The sky was pitch black that night; there were no stars or moon to be seen anywhere.

On top of that, the chilly night breeze made people shiver.

That was how strange the weather in Yaleview was. It could be scorching hot one day and freezingcold the next.

The further Jonathan drove, the more he realized something was amiss.

The road ahead was pitch black, with no streetlights, as if he had driven into the wilderness.

Jonathan could not help but mutter, “This isn't right. The road from here to Pearl Building should besurrounded by bustling cities. I wouldn't arrive at such a place even if I took the wrong way. Which partof Yaleview does this place belong to?”
