I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 293

Jonathan froze as he slowly came to understand what she meant. Mabel is right! I clearly didn't think things through. The act of prolonging one's life goes against the laws of nature, so the Great Tribulation might just be a form of punishment for Divine Realm. As such abilities can upset the balance between life and death, their usage is forbidden by Heavenly Law. A country would have its luck ruined if its people practiced such alchemy.

With that in mind, Jonathan immediately gave up on the idea.

“Do you still want to continue creating an alchemy department?” Mabel asked when she saw him going into deep thought.

“Of course I do!” Jonathan replied with absolute certainty.

Mabel stared at him in confusion.

“I'll take everything you've said into consideration and figure out something else,” Jonathan added.

“What will you do?” Mabel asked.

“Like Divine Realm, I will find a well-developed city and set up my own base there. After that, I'll focus on businesses that'll make me lots of money. I'll wait till I have acquired enough wealth and power before setting up an alchemy department,” Jonathan replied.

“That's a good plan you've got there, but it's going to take a very long time. You'll need to work hard for at least ten to twenty years,” Mabel said after a brief pause.

“Yeah, I know that.”

“You said you're going to build a base in a well-developed country. Does that mean you won't be staying here?”

Jonathan nodded. “That's right. Things could get really messy if my business runs into conflicts of interest with the local government. After all, I can't be using my extreme methods against my home country. In a foreign country, however, things would be extremely different. That is especially the case for well-developed countries. Those have a tendency to prioritize safety, stability, and peace, so they're likely to compromise as long as I don't go overboard.”

“Capital is another huge issue you need to take into consideration. I'll try my best to help you scrounge up some money when the time comes,” Mabel said.

“Money is merely a tool to help accomplish a goal. I'll figure something out myself. You're a civil servant, so I can't expect much from that meager salary of yours. Can't have you going corrupt for my sake now, can I?” Jonathan replied with a chuckle.

Mabel rolled her eyes at him in response. She did have quite some money saved up, but it wasn't enough to be of much help.

Jonathan waved at her. “Anyway, we can leave this discussion for later. Right now, we need to focus on solving your problem.”

The light in Mabel's eyes dimmed slightly.

Having recalled something, Jonathan asked, “Oh, by the way, you brought Joanne to see Chief Yount in Yaleview a while back, right? What's going on with her?”

“Chief Yount isn't exactly sure about the details either. All he told me was that the being who reincarnated into Joanne's body is something remarkable. It could be an ancient demonic being of some sort. It's best if we just leave her alone and let nature take its course.”

Jonathan gasped in shock. “An ancient demonic being?”


“Given how this planet has been in existence for billions of years, it's not surprising that such beings could be living among us. They have found their own ways to survive and coexist peacefully with us, so we should just leave them be,” Mabel explained.

She then paused for a few seconds before adding, “Sometimes, it's best to curb our curiosity to avoid being the cat that gets killed. There's no telling what could happen if we mess around with the unknown.”

Although Jonathan was still curious about Joanne's condition, he knew better than to probe any further.

“So, has Joanne returned to Willowbank?” he asked.

“Yup!” Mabel replied.

“I see,” Jonathan mumbled.

Feeling a little tired, Mabel lay down to get some rest.

Jonathan decided to leave her alone as he thought about the future. First things first, where do I start building my own empire? Hmm... Leyrudon sounds nice. Neogarus isn't too bad either, but Anglandur already has a Divine Realm of its own. I'm bound to run into trouble if I set up my organization there, so I should just forget about Neogarus. Let's see... I could also consider Illurasia, Beshya, and Soblonaro. Those locations all sound like decent options on paper, but I will still need to conduct some fieldwork to gather more information. It is crucial that I choose a large and well-developed country for my organization. Small countries often suffer from political instability, and that could spell disaster for me. If the rebels manage to defeat the government troops, they might destroy my base after taking over the country. This is pretty much the same as investing in countries that are not stable. No one is going to give a crap about your business when a war breaks out.

Meanwhile, in Lostaria, the sun was shining brightly at nine in the morning.

Due to Lostaria being a coastal city, the weather was much warmer over there, and the sky was an exceptionally beautiful shade of blue.

Yaleview, on the other hand, had extremely horrible weather most of the time.

After exiting Lostaria International Airport, Jonathan gave Beatrix a call and arranged a meetup.

He then hung up the phone and turned toward Mabel as he said, “Come on, let's head over to Heritus Hotel. My master will be here soon.”

Mabel nodded in response. She was actually feeling a little nervous about meeting a master from Divine Realm, but she did her best to hide it.

Heritus Hotel wasn't too far away, so it only took thirty minutes for the two of them to get there by taxi.

After checking into a presidential suite at the hotel, all that was left for them to do was wait patiently.

Richard arrived outside the hotel about an hour later.

After receiving a call from Beatrix about their arrival, Jonathan and Mabel quickly went downstairs to greet them.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky as Beatrix pulled up outside the hotel in a Chevrolet.

Richard was dressed in a white tracksuit and looked like an elegant, middle-aged teacher.

Beatrix had on a plain-looking dress which gave her a dignified and demure appearance.

“Master! Beatrix!” Jonathan and Mabel moved forward to greet them the moment they stepped out of the car.

“Master Richard, Ms. Lachman, thank you both very much for coming over today,” Mabel said respectfully.

Richard flashed her a faint smile. “No need to thank us, Ms. Sandler. Divine Realm has a very deep connection with the country, so it is only natural that we all help each other out.”

Mabel nodded. “Much appreciated, Master Richard!”

“Let's talk inside, shall we?” Beatrix suggested.

“Okay!” Jonathan and Mabel replied in unison.

The four of them then made their way into the hotel.

About five minutes later, they were all seated in the presidential suite.

Richard began assessing Mabel's condition by pressing a finger against her Forehead Acupoint.

As though he had established a direct connection with her brain, Richard was able to clearly see everything within Mabel's mind.

Had Richard reached Lance's cultivation stage, he would've been able to access Mabel's mind from over a hundred meters away.

Jonathan and Beatrix watched on eagerly as Richard continued to browse through Mabel's mind.

A few minutes later, Richard pulled his finger away from Mabel's forehead.

“How is she, Master?” Jonathan asked worriedly.
