I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 238

By the time Jonathan arrived at Divine Realm's entrance, the guards had changed.

One was required to scan their eyes to gain entry into Divine Realm, but that was not needed to leave. Just as Jonathan was about to leave the place, the two security guards pressed a button and shut the entrance.

Jonathan's heart sank. Knowing the security guards were just like watchdogs, he questioned coldly, “What's the meaning of this?”

The two guards swept an icy gaze over him without saying a word.

Their reactions made Jonathan mad. As if it was not bad enough that I had to endure the oppression from Gideon, but now this?

Jonathan could not believe that even the security guards dared to ignore him.

If he was not at Divine Realm, he would have lost his cool by now, thanks to his horrible temper.

He took a deep breath and was about to speak when two men stepped out of the security office.

They were Gideon's other disciples and twins at that. Their names were Eirwen Trigiani and Dilean Trigiani.

They were twenty-eight years old, dressed in black shirts, and had cold expressions. Even their gazes were frosty.

Most importantly, the two of them had already entered the final stage of Celestial Soul.

Jonathan did not recognize the twins, but he could sense that they had bad intentions.

His heart skipped a beat. This is Divine Realm. There's no way they'll attack me, right?

Despite how panicked he was, he managed a calm expression and stared coldly at them.

Eirwen, the elder twin, walked up to Jonathan and stood still. Suddenly, the former scoffed, “How dare you? Are you trying to leave after stealing from Master Gideon?”

At first, Jonathan was stunned, but he immediately came to a realization.

They're Gideon's disciples and have been laying in wait here. It was all planned, obviously.

If he did not accept the offer of being Gideon's disciple, then they would proceed to the second plan, which was to frame him.

What a series of cunning schemes, all for the raw stone in my possession. Suddenly, Jonathan cursed in his mind, panic flooding his heart. Sh*t! The raw stone is still on me. Once Gideon says the raw stone is his and that I stole it, I won't ever be able to clear my name.

A thousand thoughts ran through his mind, but he could not come up with a solution.

Dilean asked, “So, what is it going to be, thief? Should we forcefully drag you back, or are you going to come back with us on your own?”

Jonathan knew he would only be asking for trouble if he tried to fight them. Hence, he replied grimly, “I'll go back with you.”

With that, he turned around and took the lead.

Eirwen and Dilean each took a side, holding Jonathan hostage. The latter had zero chance of escaping.

Not long after, Jonathan arrived at Gideon's Astral Hall again under the watchful eyes of the twins.

Gideon was still seated on his throne, and his eldest disciple, Frost, was watching from the side with his ever-present icy expression.

Yuna, however, was stunned by the sight. She could not understand what was going on.

“Get to your knees!” Frost yelled emotionlessly.

Jonathan merely scoffed and glanced at the arrogant Gideon, saying, “Gideon Carnell, and here I thought you were some bigshot! Well, it looks like you're nothing but a thief. You know better than anyone that I didn't steal from you. You're doing all this just for a raw stone, right? Fine. Take it!” With that said, he took out the raw stone and tossed it at Gideon.

Unfortunately, he had no other choice.

He never expected Gideon to play such cheap tricks just for the raw stone.

Right then, Frost caught the raw stone and respectfully handed it to Gideon.

After accepting it, Gideon stroked the stone in his hand. The look in his eyes changed. Utter delight flashed through his eyes, but he skillfully concealed it.

“Can I leave now?” Jonathan asked, glancing at Gideon.

Gideon eyed Jonathan coldly, but said to Frost, “How should we deal with this thief who stole my raw stone?”

Frost immediately replied, “This thief is too bold. Death is what he deserves. However, the Divine Emperor has always been impartial. We should hand him to The Inquisition for a fair trial and conviction.”

Gideon nodded. “All right. Bring him to The Inquisition, then.”

“Yes, Master Gideon,” Frost responded emotionlessly. Jonathan could not help but comment in his heart that Frost was indeed Gideon's most loyal dog.

“Master Gideon!” Just then, Yuna stepped up and said hurriedly, “Master Gideon, Jonathan's young and immature. Since he's returned your item, can you let this matter pass?”

Gideon threw her a cold stare. He then got to his feet and walked away, ignoring Yuna.

Yuna was beyond anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Jonathan, however, was surprised. He had thought Yuna was pretending to be innocent and merely someone Gideon had sent to seduce him.

Looks like this girl isn't putting on an act, after all.

“Jonathan!” Yuna looked at him sorrowfully.

The corners of Jonathan's lips lifted to form a subtle smile, and he assured, “I'll be fine, Yuna. At worst, I'll face death. I'll still be known as a good man out there.”

Jonathan knew he had no way out of the situation.

Now that Gideon had taken Jonathan's raw stone, the only end for the latter was death.

If word about Gideon snatching something from an external disciple got out, the former's reputation would be destroyed. Hence, Gideon had to kill Jonathan to preserve his dignity.

Though the other masters were well aware of what truly happened, they still had to pretend otherwise for the sake of everyone's dignity.

Therefore, Jonathan had to be sacrificed.

Immediately after that, Frost shoved Jonathan out of Astral Hall while Yuna stood there in a daze.

Sometimes, fate between people was a bizarre thing.

Yuna had just gotten to know Jonathan, but she felt as if she had known him for years.

Soon, Jonathan was brought to The Inquisition by Frost.

Oswald was in charge of The Inquisition.

His faction was the most powerful faction among the three factions. Even people like Edward and Jeremy were from that faction.

I heard Gabriel's from Oswald's faction, too. Sh*t! I'm done for. I'm not going to live once I'm handed to Oswald's faction. Wait a minute; something's not right. Why was Gideon so sure that I had the raw stone? That's right! D*mn it! It must be that stupid Gabriel! He must've snitched on me to Gideon! Jonathan suddenly had an epiphany.

The interior of The Inquisition was a massive hall, but it had a solemn atmosphere, and every inch of it gave one a suffocating feeling.

At the frontmost of the hall were the judges' tables and chairs.

There was another set of tables and chairs on both sides of the hall, which was meant for the jury. At the end of the hall were seats for the audience.

The Inquisition was clearly a court.
