I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 287

Jonathan and Beatrix chatted for a while. Although Beatrix gave off an aloof impression, she was an interesting person. She would continue the conversation every time Jonathan brought up a new topic instead of acting high and mighty.

Soon, after the masters paid their respect to the Divine Emperor, it was Jonathan's and the other second-generation inner disciples' turn to meet the Divine Emperor.

The masters were chatting happily among themselves as they exited Olympus.

The disciples bowed before the masters immediately. “Greetings, masters!”

Jonathan and Beatrix followed. At the same time, Jonathan heard someone whispering among them.

“Look! The young man dressed in the white robe is Edward Weiss, who has just been promoted to master.”

Jonathan glanced toward the masters and spotted Edward instantly.

The latter was the youngest-looking person out of all the masters. He looked like he was in his twenties.

However, as much as he was older than he looked, he was still the youngest among the rest of the masters. Edward's cold and handsome face gave him a solemn and dignified aura.

Edward became famous at a young age because he was the leader of Strikezone Martial Arts. Besides, he attained great wealth and exceptional martial arts skills. Even the country was impressed by him.

As a man of power, there was something very stately about him.

Now that he had become one of the masters in Divine Realm, his prestige increased.

Not to mention that Oswald's power was boosted with the addition of Edward to his faction.

Glancing at Edward, Jonathan felt his heart skip a beat.

Odd enough, Edward had a feeling that someone was observing him. He immediately turned and looked in Jonathan's direction.

Jonathan avoided Edward's gaze instinctively.

However, he regretted it the next second.

F*ck! Why am I acting like a coward?

When Jonathan raised his head again, the masters, including Edward, had already left.

Jonathan's heart sank.

How can I ever deal with someone as powerful as Edward?

Perhaps he doesn't hold a grudge against me. But what if he does?


Jonathan did not like the feeling that his fate was not under his control.

“You don't have to be afraid of Edward. With Master and I around, he won't dare to do anything rash.”

Jonathan was touched. “Thank you, Beatrix!”

To that, Beatrix nodded in response and said nothing.

A ceremony was held for Edward's promotion at Divine Realm in the afternoon.

All masters and first and second-generation inner disciples, as well as Gold disciples, were allowed to attend the ceremony.

Besides, the elders from the enforcers' department, the alchemy department, and The Inquisition came.

Champagne, wine, and other delicacies were already served in Grand Hall upon arrival, which made the ceremony seem more like a banquet.

The disciples waited below respectfully as the masters and elders took their seats.

Jonathan observed them quietly. Each of the elders was an individual of merit.

The power of Divine Realm is truly scary!

Furthermore, he knew that some of the exceptional disciples did not attend the ceremony because they were out traveling, and some of the elders were absent because they were in solitary training.

Meanwhile, Edward emitted a cold and intimidating aura as he stood on the stage calmly. It was as if he was sending off the message that he would not bow to anyone easily.

Oswald smiled as he faced the crowd. “Today is a day worth celebrating in Divine Realm because a new master has arisen from our inner disciples. It is none other than Edward Weiss. Let's welcome him!”

Everyone applauded.

Edward thanked the crowd emotionlessly.

Oswald turned back to Edward and continued, “Edward, on behalf of the masters, I award you this Golden Token! This is the symbol of you and the inner disciples. From now onwards, every inner disciple in Divine Realm will have to address you as 'master.' If anyone disobeys, you have the right to send them to The Inquisition.”

After Oswald finished his speech, he handed Edward the symbolic Golden Token.

Edward received the Golden Token with both hands. “Thank you, Oswald!”

Smilingly, Oswald continued, “I have discussed with the elders, and we decided to let Edward be in charge of the discipline in Divine Realm. Is everyone in favor of this arrangement?”

The question was intended for the first-generation inner disciples.

However, a master named Scott Bennett scoffed, “Discipline? Have I heard wrongly? Divine Realm is not a military camp nor a primary school. Do you want us to follow the rules like we're back in school, Oswald?”

The way Scott put it was hilarious. Some of the inner disciples had to stifle a laugh.

However, Oswald replied in a serious tone, “The rules in Divine Realm are too loose. It is undeniable that we have done well without setting up rules in the past, but we have to reconfigure as time changes! From today onward, Edward will abide by the eight rules of Divine Realm seriously and set up new rules for the disciples.”

Since Gideon was on the same side as Oswald, he immediately chimed in, “I agree with Oswald's decision.”

Glancing at Richard, Oswald asked, “What do you think, Richard?”

“Since you have decided, why bother asking me?” Richard retorted indifferently.

Oswald smirked. “All right then. This is settled.” Then he said, “Edward, you can discuss with the administration department and the logistics department to build your department. You can also bring in any talents you require. Now, you have the power to take in six second-generation inner disciples as well.”

“Yes, Oswald!” Edward responded respectfully.

The banquet started officially after the arrangement was settled.

As Richard stormed out of Grand Hall with a furious expression on his face, Jonathan and Beatrix immediately followed him out.

Jonathan knew that Richard was upset because it was evident that Oswald was using Edward to balance the power among the factions. He knew that Edward's power and influence were growing, and it would be a problem for him to be in charge of discipline.

It was hard to pinpoint a standard for discipline. If Edward wanted to, he could easily pin fault on anyone.

Jonathan and Beatrix followed Richard back to Chard Hall.

The moment Richard sat down, he slammed his fist on the table, sending pieces of it flying across the hall.

It was rare to see Richard lose his cool because he was always gentle and calm.

“Master, please calm down!” Jonathan and Beatrix advised.

Richard was fuming with anger, but he calmed down quickly after a while. “When Lance and the others were around, it was always peaceful. Everyone was focused on practicing Destino arts. There was no such scheming!” Richard said coldly.
