I Am Unstoppable Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Destiny Of The Chosen One
Although Jonathan was a carefree person, he was on the brink of death. He could not help but wishfully hope for miracles to happen. Yasir’s ringing phone caught Jonathan’s attention. Jonathan was aware that he was the Chosen One himself. He felt like miracles might just happen at that moment.
Yasir frowned slightly but did not answer the call. Instead, he stared at Jonathan with a weird expression.
Jonathan felt uneasy. Why is he not picking up the phone?
Yasir glanced at Jonathan with his cold eyes and said, “There’s something strange about you. Every time I try to destroy you, unexpected things happen. How lucky you are! Perhaps you are truly the Chosen One. If I fail to end you today, you might become a pain in the ass.”
He was not going to look at his phone or pick up the call at all. He just wanted to end Jonathan’s life.
Jonathan groaned in frustration repeatedly. He felt that Yasir possessed an unfathomable level of cultivation and a crystal-clear state of mind, which allowed him to pick up every minor change around him.
He took a few steps back, with his eyes fixed on Yasir, and asked in a tense voice, “Since you have made up your mind to end me, why would you be afraid to pick up the phone call? Is there anything in this world that can hinder your determination? Why are you afraid? Does that mean there’s a flaw in your spirituality?”
Jonathan was trying to weaken Yasir’s spirit with his words. Yasir’s face changed slightly upon hearing what Jonathan had just said. He looked at Jonathan with an odd look in his eyes and answered, “I can
see that you’re trying to influence my actions. But then again, you’re not completely wrong. Okay, let’s see who has the ability to stop me.” After he said that, he out his phone to answer the call.
Jonathan let out a sigh of relief, with beads of cold sweat running down his forehead. He did not let his guard down, knowing that his life was still under Yasir’s control.
Yasir answered the phone call, only to hear Edward’s voice from the other end of the line.
Edward’s voice was as frosty as a thousand-year-old glacier stone that remained unchanged even with the passage of time.
“Let Jonathan go!” he demanded.
The look on Yasir’s face changed at once upon hearing the instruction. He knew that he had no choice but to obey Edward’s demand. Even so, he couldn’t help but feel slightly reluctant. He then asked, “Why should I do that, Edward?”
“Arthur asked me for a favor. It’s for Jonathan. I agreed,” Edward said to him.
Upon hearing that, Yasir suddenly came to a realization. Nevertheless, he carried on and said, “Edward, I feel like there’s something off about Jonathan. Whenever I try to harm him, something comes up. That’s what just happened. I was about to end his life and I received a call from you. I’m starting to suspect that he is the Chosen One. If I set him free today, I’m afraid he would become a thorn in our flesh someday.”
Edward replied coldly, “Even so, you’d still have to spare his life today.”
Yasir asked, “Do we let it slide, just like that?”
“We’ll deal with it later. But I’m warning you now. If you defy my order, don’t blame me for what I’ll do then.” Edward finished his final sentence and hung up.
Yasir was taken aback by that.
Nevertheless, he had to comply. Even though his cultivation was extraordinary, it was nothing compared to Edward’s.
Edward’s capabilities were way beyond his. Yasir could only wish to be as powerful as Edward was.
Upon hanging up, Yasir stared at Jonathan with a complicated expression.
With the look on Yasir’s face, Jonathan knew that he was out of danger. He then let out a long and heavy sigh of relief before he collapsed onto the ground.
Yasir turned and left in the blink of an eye without saying a word.
After a brief rest, Jonathan regained some strength. He helped himself up and sat aside. Damn, this is still a dangerous highway. Even if Yasir spared my life, I might still die if I get hit by cars. If that happens to me, the Chosen One, I would be the joke of the year.
Standing in the middle of the emergency lane, Jonathan looked at the damaged BMW. At that moment, he was on the verge of crying, but his tears did not come to him. He was completely helpless without his phone.
Furthermore, he had lost all of his strength. It would definitely take a while for him to heal from that.
However, those obstacles and hardships were nothing compared to death. Deep down, Jonathan felt grateful as he had just avoided a catastrophe.
To him, the reason behind Yasir’s sudden change of mind was quite obvious. It wouldn’t have happened if hadn’t been for Amber’s grandpa.
It was half an hour later when a passing car finally stopped by. The driver offered to help Jonathan. Jonathan borrowed the driver’s phone and gave Amber a call.
Meanwhile, Amber was extremely devastated and heartbroken. She did not pick up the call as it was from an unknown number. Out of frustration, Jonathan dialed the number again and again. After five attempts, it finally went through.
The moment Amber picked up, Jonathan could sense an explosion of fury. “Who the hell is this? Are you out of your mind?” she yelled.
Jonathan was speechless. “It’s me,” he answered weakly.
“Jonathan?” Amber called out. Her voice changed. “You’re still alive?” she exclaimed.
Jonathan replied impatiently, “Oh please, how could I be talking to you if I were dead? I’m being trapped on a highway right now. My car is completely wrecked. Hurry up and get someone to save me.”
Amber was absolutely delighted to hear the news. Tears of joy burst out of her eyes. “Okay, I’ll be right there,” she said, trying to keep her emotions under control.
Half an hour later, Jonathan’s BMW was towed away. Signs were also being set up at the damaged parts of the roads.
Amber, Yasmin, Jessica, and Polly rushed to the scene in their cars.
Upon arrival, they immediately saw Jonathan. He looked a little messy but was doing just fine.
It was at that instant when Yasmin, Amber, and Jessica started shedding tears. Polly was much calmer. She looked at Jonathan and smiled slightly.
Jonathan returned the smile. No words were needed for that moment.
Soon after, Jonathan got into the car. The girls felt really bad for him as there were injuries all over his body.
They started the journey back home, with Polly being the driver.
She found the nearest exit and drove back in the other direction.
The night had finally come to an end. It was a hazardous and terrifying night, but Jonathan survived.
Somehow, Jonathan seemed to be peculiarly lucky. So much so that it felt surreal.
Of course, it was also thanks to his intelligence and determination, on top of good luck.
Jonathan returned to Yasmin’s mansion at one o’clock in the morning. He did not have major injuries, just some minor skin abrasions. It would only take one night to heal them.
As for Yasmin and Jessica, both of them understood that Jonathan got into danger because he had offended Strikezone Martial Arts while trying to protect them previously. So, Strikezone Martial Arts was making a comeback this time.
Seeing Jonathan getting into this life-threatening situation because of them, the two girls felt even more guilty yet touched.
Jonathan returned to his own room after taking a shower. There were many questions that Yasmin, Jessica, and Amber were dying to ask Jonathan. However, when they noticed the exhaustion on his face, they decided not to disturb him at that moment.
Meanwhile, Polly was already back at her own sea-view mansion. She couldn’t be as affectionate as the other girls, because that’s just the way she was.
Jonathan sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing the Ultra Sun Moon Mantra.
If there was something that he could learn from the incidents earlier that day, it would be the fact that he was not powerful and strong enough. He was still far too weak when compared to those who were truly mighty.
His journey as the Chosen One was long and winding.
Jonathan knew that he might be facing evil forces that were even more malicious in the future.
To avoid being humiliated again, and in order to protect his loved ones, he had to toughen up.
At that moment, Jonathan was crazily determined to become stronger. A cold glint flashed past his eyes, and his vitality fired up vigorously.
Two hours later, all the minor injuries on his body started healing. Jonathan exhaled deeply. Even though he had not fully understood the mystery of Nascent Soul, his body had fully recovered.
He was then hit by a sudden wave of tiredness and fell asleep.
In the meantime, while Yasir was in the presidential suite of Horington Hotel, he received a call from Edward once again.
“Hi, Edward,” Yasir greeted him respectfully.
“How’s the preparation for the Golden Sword Tournament?” asked Edward.
“Everything is ready, Edward. It will begin on the twenty-eighth as planned.” Yasir replied.
“Just keep thinking of ways to get Jonathan to take part in the tournament. You’ll fight him personally this time. If that’s not enough to take him down, we’ll surely be a big joke in the foreigners’ eyes.”
Edward’s words stunned Yasir for a moment before he comprehended the meaning behind them. “All right. I understand, Edward,” said Yasir.
“Good,” Edward replied before ending the call.
Now, Yasir understood why Edward instructed him to spare Jonathan earlier. It was merely out of political courtesy. Since Edward had already made an agreement with Arthur to set Jonathan free, he had to keep the promise. He was not the kind to go back on his own words.
However, in the event that Jonathan took the initiative to take part in the Golden Sword Tournament, it would be a different matter. Even if the disciples of Strikezone Martial Arts defeated Jonathan and ended his life during the battle, there was nothing Arthur could do or say.
That was exactly what Edward was plotting.
Immediately, Yasir started contemplating his moves. Not only was he banned from harming Jonathan, but he also had to get him to join the Golden Sword Tournament. It was definitely a challenging task.
Yasir was unable to come up with a good plan. So, he asked Levi for help.
Levi agreed that it was a tricky situation. However, he came up with an idea right away. “Master Sullivan, it’s all right if we can’t come up with a good plan. Perhaps we could ask for help from Dragon King of the underground world of Horington. He’s a resourceful man. Let’s see if we get some input from him,” suggested Levi.
Since Yasir was already in a desperate situation, he immediately agreed. “Okay, contact him for me,” he instructed Levi. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“All right, Master Sullivan,” said Levi.
The next morning at seven o’clock, Jonathan sat up on the bed. After a whole night of sleep, he felt rejuvenated. His energy level was at its peak again.
He had yet to comprehend Nascent Soul. However, he did not feel demotivated. Nascent Soul is such an incredible stage of cultivation. If it had been easy, everyone would have done it.
Jonathan rubbed his face, got up, and got dressed.
He bumped into Yasmin when he was washing up. The dark circles around her eyes made it seem like she didn’t get any sleep at all.
Jonathan was reminded of his own words last night after seeing Yasmin. At that time, he was so sure that he wasn’t going to make it, so he told the truth about Connor’s death. Therefore, he couldn’t bring himself to face Yasmin right now.
