I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 356 The Hazy Silhouette

“The Demon Emperor spared me?” Jonathan couldn't understand why he would, adding, “I can tell that the Demon

Emperor is an individual who doesn't go back on his word. He isn't a merciful person at all, so why would he spare

me?”

Mabel said, “All I remember is that at the time, the Demon Emperor looked shocked. He kept saying that something

was impossible, and then he just left you there and went away.”

Jonathan's heart sank. He felt that there must be something big he didn't know about all of this. This mystery was

about himself, and the Demon Emperor already knew about it.

Jonathan immediately said to Mabel, “No, I have to go find the Demon Emperor.”

“Find him?” Mabel was surprised. She was extremely afraid of the Demon Emperor. Hence, when she heard that

Jonathan wanted to go looking for him, her heart trembled. She voiced, “That's unnecessary. The Demon Emperor

is a person whom we cannot afford to provoke. We just managed to survive by the skin of our teeth. Why do we

need to go looking for him?”

Jonathan's heart was like a lump in his throat as he uttered, “This must be related to my identity. I have to figure out

who my parents are, so I must meet the Demon Emperor.”

Mabel, Vananeru, and Wretched were all stunned. They didn't expect the mystery to be related to Jonathan's

identity.

Jonathan never talked about his identity and his parents with others. However, Vananeru knew that Jonathan cared

a lot about his mother. After all, when Pedor insulted his mother back then, his face immediately darkened.

Mabel didn't try to persuade him otherwise anymore. She said, “Okay, the Demon Emperor has gone to Mount

Goliath. If you want to go to him, I'll go with you.”

“I can go alone. Since the Demon Emperor didn't kill me when he had the chance a while ago, he won't kill me

either when I go to Mount Goliath. But it's different for you,” Jonathan dissuaded.

Mabel wanted to say more, but Jonathan added, “Let's not talk about this topic anymore.” He turned to Wretched

and asked, “What are your plans for the future?”

Wretched smiled bitterly, then said, “I thought I was invincible and that no one could kill me. Yet the death

tribulation almost killed me. It was your luck that saved me, so you're my savior now. From now on, Jonathan, you'll

be like a brother to me. If you need any help, I will not hesitate to help you no matter what I have to do.”

Jonathan's eyes instantly flickered with a strange light. For the moment, he put aside his questions about his identity.

After all, he had thought of an exciting idea!

He jumped up and laughed loudly. “Wretched, I can rest assured after hearing you say that. I have always wanted

to build a base like the Divine Realm, and then we can use alchemy and cultivate toward the level of Divine Master.

Someday, we can become someone with high cultivation like the Demon Emperor.”

This was Jonathan's ambition and desire.

Wretched also became excited upon hearing this. “That's right, Jonathan, you are the strongest of the Chosen

Ones. Besides, you have luck on your side. If they can do it, you can certainly do it too.”

Mabel was stoked as well. She had heard of Jonathan's idea before and knew that he wanted to build his own base

and use alchemy. She had thought it was a bit unrealistic with their current strength.

However, now that Wretched was joining them, it might really be possible.

“But this matter can't be rushed. We have to plan carefully!” Jonathan stated.

Wretched replied, “Of course, I know that. Whatever you need me to do, just say the word. This battle with Tristan

has made me understand one thing—what Tristan said was right. The physical body is bound to decay and wither.

Although I can be immortal, I cannot defy the laws of nature. Only by cultivating the primordial spirit, allowing it to

roam and see through The Void, can one truly embark on the path of eternality. Therefore, your alchemy will

provide many benefits for me as well.”

Mabel couldn't help but laugh and said, “Hopefully, in the future, our achievements can rival those of the Demon

Emperor. By then, we can traverse through The Void together. How wonderful that would be!”

All of this was a beautiful dream.

Vananeru listened to everything but was pretty confused.

Soon, the sun rose, and the golden rays of dawn shone in the place of worship.

The whole village was deathly silent.

The deaths of the villagers were all because of Wretched the Great.

Wretched should have received retribution and died that day, but by a twist of fate, he was saved by Jonathan.

The cause and effect of all of this were too complicated to explain.

Perhaps Wretched was still alive because he had an unfinished mission.

Who knew for sure?

At present, Galad was dead.

Wretched could be considered Vananeru's enemy who killed her father, but Vananeru could never avenge her

father.

In the morning, Vananeru discreetly said her goodbyes and left the village.

Jonathan did not bid farewell to her as their relationship was awkward. Although they had met by fate, their paths

were destined to diverge.

After Vananeru left, Jonathan said to Wretched, “Mabel and I are returning to our country. Will you come with us?”

Wretched replied, “I won't go with you for now. I have made some breakthroughs in my physical cultivation recently

and need to go into seclusion for a while. But if you need to find me, you can come to this place and look for me.”

Wretched reached out and touched Jonathan's head while speaking.

Suddenly, Jonathan received some information in his mind and knew where Wretched was heading.

Wretched continued, “If you don't have time to come to me yourself, you can send someone to bring this token to

me.” Then, Wretched took out a black silk ribbon and handed it to Jonathan, who took it.

After they said their goodbyes, Wretched soon left the village.

Jonathan and Mabel stood outside the temple. Although the village was deathly silent, the golden light of the

morning sun illuminated the entire place, making it look so bright and beautiful.

Everything had finally been resolved perfectly.

Thinking back on everything that had happened, they couldn't help but feel emotional.

Although over three thousand people had died in the village, it was not something that Jonathan and Mabel had

control over, so they did not feel too guilty about it.

People should be kind in life, but they shouldn't punish themselves for other people's mistakes or feel pain because

of them.

Otherwise, life would be exhausting and meaningless.

After leaving the village, Jonathan and Mabel arrived in downtown Mapleton. They did not have a private aircraft at

the moment, so they had to take a flight from Mapleton to Yaleview.

The flight was scheduled for seven in the evening.

Since there was still time before the flight, Mabel went to see the king and explained the situation. She assured him

that Wretched would no longer harm Mapleton.

The king and his ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and the king expressed his sincere gratitude to Mabel.

Originally, the king wanted to hold a formal banquet to thank Mabel, but Mabel politely declined as she wanted to

enjoy herself in Mapleton.

Seeing her firm determination, the king didn't insist.

Mabel returned to the hotel at eleven in the morning.

They had booked the presidential suite, and when she arrived, Jonathan had just finished showering and was feeling

refreshed.

He had already put on his clothes just as Mabel returned.

“Back so soon?” Jonathan was slightly surprised.

Mabel smiled and said, “Let's go out and take a stroll later. The weather is nice today, and I can finally relax.”

Jonathan had no objections. “Why don't we go out now? I have some personal matters to attend to anyway.”

Mabel said, “I need to take a shower first. What personal matters do you have?” She paused for a moment, and she

gave him a peculiar look. “Are you going to go see Vananeru?”

Jonathan rolled his eyes, asking, “Why would I do that?”

Mabel chuckled and replied, “You can't deny that you're a little attracted to her.”

Laughing, Jonathan stared at Mabel deeply. “If I were to be attracted to anyone, it would be you. That little girl can't

compare.”

Hearing that, Mabel simply thought Jonathan was joking and didn't think much of it. She laughed out loud and

quipped, “Too bad I'm not interested in you!”

That piqued Jonathan's interest. “Then, who are you interested in?” His mood had lightened considerably.

Mabel rolled her eyes and said, “I'm planning to be a spinster. Do you have any objections?”

Jonathan chuckled before answering, “That would be such a waste. You're beautiful, have a high social status, and

are busty. To not take advantage of such good resources would be a shame.”

Mabel was slightly surprised, and she gave him a confused look. She felt that something was off about Jonathan's

comment about her chest.

But what's off about it?

Mabel was not stupid, and although she was a little slow in matters of the heart, she wasn't completely clueless.

She felt that Jonathan's joke was a little too much and was even slightly suggestive.

When a man makes suggestive jokes toward a woman, it's often because he desires the woman.

Her heart skipped a beat at that thought, but she did not show any changes of expression on her face.

Some things were better left unsaid.

She then said, “You still haven't told me what your personal matter is.”

Jonathan was also good at reading people's expressions, and he immediately realized that his words had revealed

his true feelings. Moreover, he could tell that Mabel didn't like it.

Jonathan also felt a pang of emotion, and he immediately looked serious as he said, “I want to extort some money.

A person spoke out of turn before, and it wasn't convenient for me to retaliate at the time. Now I don't have any

scruples about doing it.”

Mabel couldn't help but laugh when she heard him. “You really have a vindictive personality!”

Jonathan grinned in response.

Soon after, Mabel went to take a shower while Jonathan watched TV in the living room.

The sound of water echoed from the bathroom.

Mabel didn't notice that her faint silhouette in the bathroom was visible from the outside.

Her heart was currently in a mess because she had sensed Jonathan's desires, and her usually calm heart was now

in ripples.

Jonathan was not an ordinary person, and she couldn't just ignore him.

He felt that he shouldn't have such thoughts as well. He actually preferred their previous way of interacting.

Nevertheless, desire reared its ugly head, and it was something he couldn't control.

He had initially planned to compose himself, but then he caught sight of Mabel's slender and hazy silhouette in the

shower.

His imagination instantly ran wild, and a burning sensation surged in his lower abdomen.

At this moment, Jonathan wished he could barge into the bathroom and share a moment of passion with Mabel.
