I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 418

Simon glanced at Mauve and said, “Hurry up and pack your stuff. When you're done, I'll take you down the mountain. This isn't a place for you to stay.” His tone was a little frigid.

Mauve knew that she could not question further after hearing his words. If she did, Simon would truly get angry.

After a half-hour wait, the group of university students and their elderly professors were finally ready to leave. They had all packed their things and were waiting for Simon to lead the way.

Simon walked ahead without saying anything else, ignoring everyone, whether it was the students or their professor.

Then again, despite his advanced age, Matthew had not expressed his gratitude to Simon for saving their lives.

An understanding of worldly wisdom is true learning.

Simon was still his savior, regardless of how indifferent he was. For a person of Matthew's age to neither say nor do anything, he could only be described as self-centered. However, if it were a child, that behavior could be dismissed as ignorance.

In life, there will always be a group of people who are particularly selfish and carefree. They always take people's help for granted. Such people are self-centered.

There is also the type of person who does not think before speaking, hurting others with every word they say. Not only that, but they justify themselves after, saying they are direct with their words and telling the other party not to get angry lest they appear petty.

When faced with such individuals, all one could do was hurl profanities at them with indignation and resentment, wondering what made them so great that everyone had to give in to them.

Human emotions are very complex. Everyone alive will be caught in its web.

There are two distinct kinds of people we will encounter when interacting with others. The first kind will be concerned that you might lose out, so if you help them, they will surely repay you more. Such people will make you feel comfortable.

The second kind of people, on the other hand, seek small advantages wherever they go. They have no notion of picking up the tab when dining with others. When other people help them, they believe it is only natural since they have a good relationship with the other party.

Be it friends or close friends, the bond needs to be maintained and managed well. For example, if one is rich and the other is poor. Being wealthy is not a sin. If the rich friend spent a thousand treating you to a meal, you could treat him to a drink that would not cost that much.

Friendship contributions are not determined by how equally it is divided, but by the principle that if you treat me well and help me, I will repay you with whatever I can. That makes it even.

Some people might say that true friends need not be concerned about such things.

If so, one can only conclude that whoever wants to be your true friend lacks virtue in their previous life.

As we live in a society where human emotions are concerned, friendship is not something only stated in words, nor is it true that only difficult times reveal who our true friends are. Life is not a drama series with numerous trials and tribulations.

Of course, Simon would not care about these things right then, for in his eyes, none of these people could be considered his friend.

Even Mauve was merely a girl he was slightly fond of and had rescued once.

The group continued on their way, heading downhill this time.

Everyone followed the direction of the sun and a compass to determine the route.

They were moving slowly as the mountain path was evidently difficult to navigate. Moreover, these university students had poor physiques.














































Just then, everyone spotted a lush grassland ahead with vegetation over a foot tall. Strangely, there was mist in the sky above.

“This place is so strange,” a male student commented. He hurriedly took out his camera, ran up, and started snapping photos.

Seeing that, Matthew said, “This must be the wild breeding place of Marlington's parasites. Be careful, students. Contact with Marlington's parasites is extremely dangerous.”

His statement scared everyone, and the boy taking photos quickly retreated backward.

“Let's go!” Simon uttered coldly. As he was speaking, Mauve suddenly saw a black insect falling toward his neck from a tree.

“Watch out, Simon!” she yelled.

Simon acted as if it was nothing as he caught the insect between his two fingers and threw it. With a snap, the insect flew far away.

“That was awesome, Simon! Are you a combat arts expert?” Mauve asked him in a tone filled with admiration.

Simon ignored her, of course.

However, something horrible happened there and then.

Dense swarms of insects fell from the sky like rain.

There was no way the students could escape it in time, given that they did not have Simon's skills.

Some students screamed while others shrieked in agony.

It was chaotic.

Mauve, too, froze in shock.

Simon took off his shirt amid the crisis, spinning it with his hand.

At once, like a big fan, the shirt flicked away all the parasites attacking Mauve.

Simon then wrapped his arm around her waist and leaped off the ground.

At that moment, Mauve felt as if she was flying through the clouds.

Simon put her down once they reached a safe place.

Mauve turned to look at her classmates, all of whom had been pierced all over by those strange parasites.

The insects crawled in and out of their noses and mouths.

Everyone died on the spot, and no one survived.

It all happened far too quickly and tragically.

Even with Simon's cultivation, he could not have saved all of them at once.

It was then that he finally experienced the mystery and horror of Marlington.

As a girl who had yet to step out of her ivory tower, Mauve was on the verge of breaking down upon seeing the tragic scene.

She crouched down and cried her heart out.

Simon had always been indifferent, but he unexpectedly felt somewhat helpless when he saw the girl in that state of distress.

Just then, Mauve's body tilted as she passed out.

Simon was startled. He hurriedly supported her before taking her pulse. In that instant, the veins of her body and his formed a strange connection.

He was fully aware of her physical state.

Mauve was bitten by a parasite that contained a deadly poison and said poison was advancing toward her body rapidly.

Simon was shocked.

The parasite had bitten her chest. It had probably slipped in from her collar.

It was still latching onto her chest firmly. Simon knew that he could not hesitate as it would cost her life.
