I Am Unstoppable

As Gabriel fiddled with the magic ring on his finger, his mind was flooded with memories of the humiliation Jonathan put him through.

“I only lost to you because of a miscalculation on my part, Jonathan. This time, I won't repeat that mistake again. I'm going to torture you to my heart's content, so try to stay alive for as long as you can,” he mumbled to himself with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Lailah saw Jonathan sleeping on the floor when she woke up in the middle of the night. While most other people would feel sorry for Jonathan and ask him to sleep on the bed, that was clearly not the case with Lailah. Oh, he's tough enough to sleep on the floor! I shouldn't have to feel bad for him at all!

With that in mind, Lailah smiled faintly and went back to sleep.

Little did she know, Jonathan actually had sexual fantasies about her before he fell asleep.

Although he was a very honorable man, he still found himself being tempted when faced with Lailah. That was especially the case in intimate situations like these.

Even so, Jonathan had his limits and wouldn't act upon his sexual fantasies regardless of how strong the temptation was.

While having such urges was perfectly normal for a healthy young man like Jonathan, he was able to suppress said urges and keep his thoughts to himself.

Had he been the kind of guy who acted upon his impulses, he would've taken advantage of Jennifer long ago.

Jonathan ended up having a nightmare in the middle of the night.

In his dreams, he saw Gabriel sitting in a wheelchair and staring coldly at him while rotating a magic ring on his finger.

It looked as though Gabriel was trying to tell him that no miracle would save him from death this time.

“What the f*ck?” Jonathan yelled as he sat bolt upright.

Having been woken up by his sudden outburst, Lailah sat up straight and glanced at him in confusion. “What is it?”

Jonathan rubbed his eyes and asked, “Huh? How did I end up on the floor? Did you kick me off the bed or something?”

“Haha. Very funny, Jonathan,” Lailah replied coldly.

After giving it some thought, Jonathan recalled he had been sleeping on the floor all along. He then tried to change the subject by saying, “I had a nightmare. I dreamt of that b*stard Gabriel sitting in a dark corner and staring at me.”

Lailah rolled her eyes at him in response. “You defeated Gabriel, didn't you? Why are you so scared of him that you're having nightmares before he even shows up?”

“Please, I'm in the final stage of Nascent Soul! I'm only a step away from reaching Celestial Soul, for goodness' sake! My mental state is incredibly strong, so there's no way I'd have nightmares! I bet Gabriel is in this hotel right now. He must've cast one of those illusion spells from the Crimson Onyx Sect to try and intimidate me,” Jonathan replied.

Instead of coming up with a snappy comeback, Lailah froze and fell silent after hearing that. Being a powerful individual herself, she knew full well that Jonathan wouldn't possibly have such nightmares.

“If this really is Gabriel's doing, then his spiritual energy must be unusually powerful,” Lailah said after a brief pause.

“That guy has the ability to see the future. How about we go check with the staff at the front desk and see if Gabriel is staying here?” Jonathan suggested.

“It'd be pointless to do so if he's able to see the future,” Lailah replied.

“That's not necessarily true. He can only see a bit of the future, not every single detail. If we're able to find some information on him, we might be able to get the drop on him and take him out right away. What do you think?”

“I think you're still dreaming. Master Oswald wouldn't have sent him here if he were that easily killed. You know, you really should stop underestimating Master Oswald.”

“I don't care. I'm going to try asking the front desk. You're free to come with me if you're afraid of Lucio jumping me!” Jonathan said as he got to his feet and made his way toward the door.

What if he's right? What if this is all a trap? What if Gabriel deliberately gave him that nightmare to flush him out of his room? Letting him go on his own would just give Lucio the perfect opportunity to kill him!

Not wanting to take any risks, Lailah let out a helpless sigh as she got off the bed and left the room with Jonathan.

Unbeknownst to her, Jonathan only dared leave the room on his own because he knew she would tag along.

He had actually been feeling rather depressed throughout the past two months. I felt unbeatable after achieving Neutralizing Force when I was in the Smealand woods. I honestly thought I'd be able to have my way after returning to Horington, only to realize this is where the truly deep waters are. Even after achieving the final stage of Nascent Soul, I'm still considered fairly weak and easy game to most of the “big fish” here! F*cking hell! I can't even leave my d*mned room without fearing for my life! I'm going to defeat Lucio, or my name isn't Jonathan Lawson!

After leaving the hotel room, the two of them were making their way through the corridor when Jonathan suddenly stopped in front of room 804.

Lailah shot him a puzzled look in response.

“Do you think they're inside?” Jonathan whispered while pointing at the door.

Lailah smacked herself on the forehead and let out a sigh. “You're a genius, you know that?”

Those words had barely left her mouth when Jonathan kicked the door open and rushed into the room.

My goodness... Does this guy's recklessness know no bounds? Lailah shook her head helplessly as she followed him inside.

The room was dimly lit by a lamp on the nightstand, and the first thing Jonathan saw was a naked couple having sex in bed.

The two of them were going at it pretty hard, even though it was really late at night.

Jonathan bursting into the couple's room all of a sudden scared the living daylights out of them.

The two of them quickly pulled the blankets over their bodies to cover up. The man, who was from Anglandur, yelled in Ustranasian, “Whoa! What the f*ck is going on here?”

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Jonathan put on his most authoritative voice possible and asked, “We're from the Global Police Force, and we're currently investigating a human-trafficking case involving young women. What's your relationship with this woman next to you?”

The look on the man's face turned pale the moment he heard that, which made it obvious that he was having an affair.

“You know what? Never mind. You don't look like you've got the b*lls to do something like that anyway,” Jonathan said and walked out of the room.

Feeling relieved that he was let off without any trouble, the man didn't even dare confront Jonathan about it.

As Jonathan continued down the corridor, he stopped in front of yet another room door. Afraid of what he might do, Lailah grabbed him by the arm and shouted, “Hey! Don't go barging into the room again, genius!”

“Don't worry; I was just messing with you!” Jonathan replied with a mischievous chuckle.

Lailah rolled her eyes in annoyance as the two of them took the elevator down to the main lobby on the first floor.

The entire lobby was brightly lit, and a lady was stationed at the front desk.

“Hello, sir. Is there something I can help you with?” the lady asked with a smile when she saw Jonathan and Lailah making their way over.

“I just received word that someone is going to plant a bomb here! Could you help me check if a person by the name of Gabriel Carter is staying in this hotel?” Jonathan asked anxiously.

The lady went pale with fear when she heard that. As she wasn't sure if Jonathan was telling the truth, she decided to escalate the matter and said, “Hold on, I'll give the security manager a call!”

Jonathan nodded. “Please hurry!”

After making the call, the lady put the phone down and asked, “The security manager will be here shortly. Could you tell me who you are and how you know about this bomb?”

“Gabriel is an enemy of mine. He followed me here and sent a text claiming he had hidden a bomb in this building. That's why I need you to hurry up and find out if he has checked in to this hotel. We might just be able to avert this crisis if we catch him in time!” Jonathan replied.

After hesitating for a bit, the lady at the front desk clenched her teeth and began searching through the records.

Lailah couldn't help but be impressed by what she had just witnessed. Wow... Jonathan lies as easily as he breathes... Well, I suppose that can be a useful skill to have in situations like this!
