I Am Unstoppable

Jonathan called out with slight excitement, “Jen!”

Jennifer flushed a little. She had too many questions for him. When she heard from Amber about everything he had done for her, she could not wait to see him.

At that moment, all the resentment had disappeared.

Soon after, Jonathan let Jennifer in.

As she sat on the couch, she was cautious not to expose herself by crossing her legs.

Seeing that she had settled into the seat, he asked, “What would you like to drink? I have coffee, wine, and soft drinks.”

“I'll just have plain water,” she answered.

Jonathan nodded and took out two bottles of mineral water from the fridge. He gave one to Jennifer, and the other was for himself.

After passing the bottle of mineral water to her, he sat on the armchair next to her.

Jennifer twisted the cap open and took a sip. Then, she looked him in the eye and said, “Can you tell me exactly what happened? When I called you earlier, Amber picked up the phone and said a lot of things that I didn't understand.”

Jonathan's expression became awkward as he had no idea about that incident. However, he decided to come clean. “It's Strikezone Martial Arts again. The person who came knocking isn't those from the same generation as Cyclops and Leonardo, but someone from the same generation as the leader of Strikezone Martial Arts!” he explained.

Jennifer was clueless about everything, so she asked, “What do you mean?”

Jonathan was stunned for a moment. With an odd expression, he inquired, “Do you know who the abbot of the monastery that invented Kung Fu is?”

That was when she suddenly remembered something. I think the abbot's name is Trenton Sullivan.

Jennifer's face turned pale as she asked, “Are they powerful?”

He nodded. “Do you remember when I called you to say my goodbyes?”

“Yes. Don't tell me... That day...”

“That's right. That day, an expert from that generation was pursuing me. I was making my escape on a highway and thought I would die, so I called you.”

Jennifer immediately prompted, “What happened afterward?”

“Then... Then we have to thank Amber. Her grandfather is a big shot in Yaleview, and he asked Edward Weiss, the leader of Strikezone Martial Arts, for a favor. If it weren't for that timely call, I wouldn't be here talking to you,” explained Jonathan.

The woman's eyes reddened as she found herself overwhelmed with emotions. At the same time, she blamed herself.

I can't even begin to imagine what was going through his mind when he phoned me while anticipating his death. Yet, I was cold to him. He must've been heartbroken.

“I'm sorry, Jonathan!” Jennifer hung her head.

Jonathan chuckled and replied nonchalantly, “What is there to be sorry about? You didn't know.”

He would never put the blame on her. Deep down, Jonathan was a generous and forgiving person. When Yasmin and Jessica misunderstood and doubted him, he was not truly angry.

Seeing him act that way, Jennifer felt even more guilty. She thought he was a dependable man, whereas she was a petty woman. However, she soon found something was amiss. “Since the grudge had been resolved, why was Winnie...”

Jonathan clarified, “Edward promised Old Mr. Johnson that he wouldn't kill me, but Strikezone Martial Arts wouldn't be satisfied until I'm dead. They didn't dare to make a move on me, so they decided to target those around me. Under these circumstances, they messed with Winnie. In fact, I was the one who dragged you and Winnie into this mess.”

Jennifer was frightened but relieved that Winnie was no longer in danger.

He continued, “Strikezone Martial Arts did it surreptitiously, so Old Mr. Johnson couldn't say anything either. That day when you asked me where I went, I actually received a call that told me to go to a certain location to save Winnie.”

Jonathan then told her everything that happened that day.

When Jennifer heard he had signed a liability waiver form, she could not help but shed tears even though Winnie was involved in the matter because of him. Regardless, he risked his life to save her daughter.

At that moment, she only had gratitude for Jonathan and not a speck of resentment.

Once again, she apologized, “I'm sorry, Jonathan!”

The man laughed aloud and said, “It's nothing.”

“What's the situation now?” Jennifer immediately asked another question.

With alacrity, he answered, “Tomorrow will be the last day of the Golden Sword Tournament. It is also the last chance for Strikezone Martial Arts to kill me. They will definitely fight like crazy. Plus, I'm injured, so I likely won't survive tomorrow.” There, he paused before adding, “Which is why I don't want to hide anything from you anymore, Jen. I don't want to die with you still hating me.”

Jennifer was appalled. There was no way she could handle the grief from his death. “If that's the case, don't fight anymore. Can't we run away from here?”

Jonathan said, “It's not that simple. Strikezone Martial Arts is constantly monitoring me. I wasn't injured that day, and I drove to the highway, yet I still didn't manage to escape. Now that I am injured, the chances of escaping are even slimmer. The only way for me to survive is to fight.”

“Amber is so capable. We can ask her for help!” she suggested.

“She wouldn't be able to help us either.” He paused, then continued, “Don't worry too much, Jen. There's still a chance for me to make it out alive. I have to break through the most critical step of my cultivation tonight. If I manage to succeed, my injuries will likely heal, and I can survive the Golden Sword Tournament tomorrow. Now that I have told you everything, I don't have any more regrets.”

Jonathan actually wanted to say he would truly have no more regrets if he could sleep with her that night. However, he could not bring himself to say it before her.

When Jennifer fell silent, he, too, remained quiet.

Time ticked by.

After an unknown period of time, she suddenly lifted her head and looked at him. “I've been thinking about something for the past few days.”

Puzzled, Jonathan asked, “Thinking about what?”

“Will you not feel pressured and be willing to date me as long as I don't think about marrying you?”

He began to sweat as he fumbled for words.

Jennifer went on, “I understand that you like wandering around without any concerns. Then I wondered which is more important, the marriage certificate or you?”

Jonathan stared at her but did not interrupt.

“I mulled things over, and I finally thought things through.” She paused a bit, then said, “I have a bar and enough money, plus I have Winnie. I shouldn't be asking for too much. I'll be happy as long as I have you. If you go out, I still have the bar and Winnie. Besides, I know you'll come back. It's actually not such a bad idea. You were never the average joe, to begin with. Why must I change you?”

Her utterances caused him great excitement, and he gazed at Jennifer with an indescribable desire. Then, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly declared, “I can't promise that I won't cheat on you.”
