I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 142

One hour later, Mabel and Jonathan arrived at the Harrington mansion in Mabel's car.

There was a private courtyard in front of the mansion, where tall trees and thick bushes were grown.

The gate was made of metal bars, and it was huge.

Mabel and Jonathan got out of the car after Mabel parked the car. Then, they approached the gate and pressed the doorbell. There was a pinhole camera at the doorbell. Obviously, it was linked to the videophone of the house. Mabel immediately stood in front of the camera.

Jonathan asked uncertainly, “Did you make an appointment?”

Mabel looked at him and said calmly, “I'd made an appointment, but Old Mr. Harrington didn't answer my call and hadn't agreed to this.”

Jonathan immediately broke into a sweat. “Oh, my goodness. You're unbelievable!”

After the doorbell rang, no one opened the gate. “What do we do now?” Jonathan asked Mabel.

Remaining calm, Mabel said, “Let's wait!”

After saying that, she went back to the car and got into it. Jonathan followed her and got back into the car as well. “Obviously, Old Mr. Harrington doesn't want to see you. Do we still need to wait here like idiots?”

Mabel replied softly, “I don't know if doing that would help, but I know for a fact that it definitely wouldn't help at all if we don't wait. Besides, who allowed you to get into the car? You are the one asking for help, so you don't have the right to wait in the car. Get out of the car quickly and stand in front of the camera so that Old Mr. Harrington knows you're still here.”

Jonathan said helplessly, “Are you kidding me? Old Mr. Harrington doesn't even know who I am. He will think I'm some psycho standing at his gate.”

Mabel instantly became exasperated. “You can try another better way if you have one, or you could kick the gate open as well.”

“You're insane!” Jonathan said helplessly.

Jonathan had said the same thing to her before, and she did not say a thing last time. However, Mabel reacted to his words this time and said, “You're the one who's insane. Your whole family is insane!”

Jonathan was startled, then he realized what was going on. It really isn't a good idea to tell a woman that she's insane!

Seeing Mabel getting angry, Jonathan was instantly happy, as it was a rare sight indeed. Taking the gift, he then got out of the car and stood in front of the camera.

Jonathan merely felt fortunate that he did not need to kneel and beg the way characters often did in television dramas.

The characters often kneeled outside a master's door for three days and three nights, begging to become the master's apprentice.

Jonathan thought he would die on the spot if he had to do that, and he would not easily kneel for anyone.

The only ones he would kneel for were god, his parents, and his master.

Meanwhile, Mabel fell asleep in the car.

Jonathan kept standing in front of the camera. Although he often looked frivolous, he had a strong willpower and was determined when it came to serious matters.

He stood there for two hours, not moving at all.

Just then, he heard the sound of footsteps inside the mansion and was delighted.

Then, the gate opened.

Standing before Jonathan was the Harrington family's butler, Bruce Parker.

He was in a green suit, and he looked like he was in his seventies.

Although he was in his seventies, he looked healthy.

Seeing Bruce, Jonathan immediately smiled. “Hello, sir.” He could be sweet and polite at times.

Jonathan's smile was bright and sincere. It would definitely make people feel comfortable around him.

Instantly, Bruce gained a good impression of Jonathan. With a smile, he said, “Young man, you've stood outside for two hours. Why are you here at Harrington mansion?”

At this moment, Mabel was still asleep in the car.

Being an independent person, Jonathan did not bother disturbing Mabel either. He smiled sweetly. “I need to seek Old Mr. Harrington's help on a matter. Please help me to inform him that I would like to talk to him.”

Bruce was surprised at Jonathan being so sincere and straightforward. “Old Mr. Harrington's old now, and he doesn't simply meet guests anymore. How about you tell me what the matter is about? I will let Old Mr. Harrington know you want to meet him if I think he could help you. Otherwise, you may save your energy waiting for him as well. Is that okay?”

“Okay,” came Jonathan's reply. Then, he paused before continuing, “I want to participate in the test for the intake of external disciples of Divine Realm, but I need a referral. I hope Old Mr. Harrington would be my referral and help me to get a slot.”

Bruce's expression changed slightly. He pondered a moment and said, “Recommending someone to Divine Realm isn't a simple matter. I'm afraid Old Mr. Harrington can't help you with that.”

Jonathan remained calm and said, “Let me be honest with you. I want to participate in the test because it's a life-and-death matter. As the saying goes, every life is precious. I dare not ask for much but only for you to help me with my request.”

Bruce was amazed by Jonathan's good attitude. “I can't decide on this matter. How about you wait outside for a while, and I'll inform Old Mr. Harrington about this. What do you think?”

“Thank you!” Jonathan said at once and respectfully.

Flashing a smile, Bruce went back inside the mansion.

Jonathan heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Mabel smiling in the car.

Jonathan immediately walked to the car, asking Mabel curiously, “Are you partnering with Bruce to test me?”

Mabel stopped smiling and said, “I've known you well. Why should I test you? Besides, you are already a Nascent Soul cultivator, and you're not an ordinary young man anymore. Isn't such a test just a joke to you?”

Jonathan thought her words made sense. He paused for a moment and said, “Why do I feel it's hard to ask for Old Mr. Harrington's help this time?”

Mabel replied, “Honestly, I feel the same, but this is the only way. I believe you are the Chosen One. Since God had chosen you, he surely wouldn't let you down.”

Jonathan had to agree with Mabel's point. Then, he said, “However, we're here to show our faces. You have a higher status than me, so why are you hiding?”

Mabel replied, “Now, aren't you just dumb? I even failed in the task of getting an appointment! I'm sure Old Mr. Harrington prefers a responsible young man, which is why you have to do this yourself. Besides, Old Mr. Harrington has a genius granddaughter whose name is Catherine Harrington. Perhaps if you manage to make him happy, he would marry her to you.”

Jonathan was most afraid of getting married. He immediately said, “No, thank you. No one can lure me into the trap of marriage.”

After a while, Bruce came out again.

Jonathan and Mabel quickly approached him.

Mabel said with a smile, “Hello, Bruce. I'm Mabel.”

Bruce looked at Mabel, but he did not look surprised. With a smile, he said, “I didn't expect you to come to Harrington mansion, Chief Sandler. Welcome.”

Mabel smiled but did not say anything.

Then, Bruce said, “Please follow me.” He turned and walked into the courtyard after saying that.

Taking the gift, Jonathan and Mabel followed him.

When they walked into the courtyard, Jonathan saw that the ground was mostly grass-covered and was split by a bluestone path. There were a lot of trees on their right, and the air was filled with a nice floral scent.

There was also a water fountain in the middle of the courtyard, but it was not turned on at the moment.

The mansion was majestic but not too lavish.
