Chapter 105 Life Or Death
A gush of feelings surged through Jonathan when he heard Yasmin’s concerns. He saw her as her
sister while Connor was a friend who stood by him through thick and thin.
At the moment when death seemed imminent, Yasmin’s incoming phone call seemed like as if it was
destiny. His eyes instantly reddened.
“Jonathan, why are you not saying anything?” asked Yasmin worriedly.
After clearing his throat, Jonathan recomposed himself and responded, “Yasmin, I’m sorry. I’m afraid I
can’t take care of you anymore. There’s something I haven’t been telling you. Your brother and I were
best friends. He sacrificed himself during our mission in Smealand and lost his life. I’m sorry for only
telling you about it now.”
As soon as his words fell, Jonathan disconnected the call right away and focused on driving.
He did not mention the cause of Connor’s death because he did not want Yasmin to know about what
crimes her brother had committed, even though Connor had paid the price with his life. However,
Jonathan wanted Yasmin to remember Connor as someone great.
What he was not aware of was the fact that his words had an immense impact on Yasmin.
In fact, she did not grieve much for Connor’s sacrifice as there was no news about him after so many
years since he left. Sometimes, she thought something terrible had happened to Connor.
Obviously, when her doubts were proven correct, she felt sorrowful. However, a greater terror filled her
heart. She was worrying about Jonathan the whole day. The latter’s words sounded like a farewell note
to her. Something bad is going to happen to him.
Thus, Yasmin didn’t have the time to care about anything else and dialed Jonathan’s number hurriedly.
However, the line was engaged.
Her mind was in utter chaos before she called Amber right away. To her dismay, the latter did not pick
up her call too.
In the end, Yasmin decided to give Polly a call.
This time, the call was connected.
“Polly, is Jonathan with you now?” asked Yasmin anxiously.
In a calm voice, Polly replied, “No. He just left.”
“Where is he going?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLetting out a sigh, Polly responded, “I don’t know where he’s headed, but none of it matters anymore.
Someone is after his life, and he can never escape.”
“What? Why are you not helping him, Polly?” exclaimed Yasmin. She said so because she knew Polly
was capable of doing that.
“Even if Jonathan and I join forces, we’re no match for our enemy. He didn’t want us to get dragged in
this, so he decided to go all by himself,” revealed Polly in a low voice.
Her words had Yasmin stunned.
She then mumbled to herself, “Is it really the only way?”
The question was not meant for Polly. Then, she hung up and looked as if her soul had left her body.
A strong urge for familial affection rose in her heart. Whenever Jonathan showed up beside her to
protect her, she felt as if he was her brother, Connor.
However, Connor was dead now while Jonathan was about to meet his demise as well.
At that moment, hot tears started rolling down Yasmin’s cheeks.
Meanwhile, Jonathan made a call to Jennifer to say his final words.
However, she did not pick up.
Only after Jonathan dialed three times did she pick up the phone. Jennifer’s voice was cold and distant
amidst the loud noise. Jonathan reckoned she was busy at the bar.
“What is it?” asked Jennifer indifferently. Then, she moved to a quieter spot.
Even though Jonathan had much to say, no words left his mouth in the end. A bitter smile stretched
across his face as he stated, “Take care of yourself!”
Then, he hung up, leaving Jennifer in a daze. Right after, an ominous feeling loomed over her. Why did
he say that suddenly? Is he perhaps leaving Horington?
Her thoughts were in utter chaos as she yearned to find out what was going on. However, her self-
esteem was holding her back from doing so.
After Jonathan hung up the call, he tossed his phone out of the window before he gripped the steering
wheel and focused on driving.
The car was moving at breakneck speed.
Just then, a silhouette emerged from the beam of light before his eyes suddenly, as if it was a ghost.
Before Jonathan could catch a clear sight of it, his BMW ran over it.
The impact was terrifyingly huge.
However, Jonathan did not do anything at all. Even though the shadow was indiscernible, he reckoned
it was Yasir.
As he had expected, Yasir emerged from beneath the car and glared at Jonathan. Clenching his fists,
he straightened his back and stood tall in front of the car before grabbing both sides of the hood with
incredibly great force.
With a loud crash, the BMW started to sink into the road from the impact.
Jonathan felt the car shaking tremendously and immense inertia on his body. Right then, his seatbelt
snapped.
The rear side of the car was hauled into the air while the front side was pushed down toward the
ground.
A small pit was formed on the road while the back wheels of the BMW whirled in mid-air.
Such a scene would surely scare the hell out of anyone.
Yasir looked incredible ferocious and intimidating.
In fact, he did not suffer from the impact of the hit by the vehicle. Instead, he gathered his strength and
directed the momentum from the car toward the ground.
In other words, it was the weight of the BMW and Yasir’s force that resulted in significant damage on
the road.
Nevertheless, Jonathan, who was in the car, remained unharmed as he had an incredible vitality. It was
at this moment that he kicked open the car door without thinking much, sending it flying. Then, he
stepped out of the car.
Having no intention of escaping and taking a deep breath, Jonathan glared at Yasir intently.
There’s no way to escape anyway.
Looking at Jonathan calmly, Yasir questioned, “Do you wish for me to kill you, or will you end your life
on your own?”
Surprisingly, Jonathan muttered calmly, “I have no intention to take my own life.”
A cold glint flashed across Yasir’s eyes. “In that case, I’ll end you then.”
Then, he took a step forward, closing the three-meter distance between them. In the blink of an eye, he
had already appeared in front of Jonathan.
At the same time, he threw a strong punch at Jonathan’s abdomen.
His Hammer Fist seemed to have the powers to turn something basic into something marvelous.
At that moment, an image of an archer shooting an arrow at his abdomen appeared in Jonathan’s
mind.
As Jonathan was skillful, he realized right away he was hallucinating from the powerful impact.
Is Nascent Soul not strong enough to resist it? Gritting his teeth, Jonathan decided to advance instead
of retreating in times of danger. Then, he gripped Yasir’s face with his Dragon Claw.
The latter was slightly taken aback by his opponent’s sudden move as he never expected Jonathan
would fight back. However, it did not bother him at all. Yasir sneered, took a step back, and switched
between a closed and open fist before grabbing Jonathan’s wrist.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeeling the enormous force on his opponent’s hand that was sufficient to make his entire body go
weak, Jonathan thought there was no way he would allow Yasir to have the upper hand. Immediately,
he retrieved his Dragon Claw and swung his leg toward Yasir’s groin.
Losing his grip on Jonathan, Yasir blocked the attack with his hands. No matter how Jonathan
launched his attacks, Yasir could already figure out his opponent’s every move.
Jonathan could tell how strong Yasir’s force was from the latter’s grip and knew that his leg would only
get broken if he proceeded with his attack. Thus, he did not make any rash moves.
Despite having impressive strategies in mind, Jonathan did not have the chance to attack as Yasir was
almost undefeatable.
Reluctantly, Jonathan retracted his leg.
As both of his moves did not work, his vitality was unstable. As he retreated, he sensed something was
amiss and backed off at lightning speed using Antelope Rhythm.
However, as soon as he drew back, Yasir made his move again right away.
In a flash, Yasir lunged forward like a huge, towering mountain.
With a loud thud, Yasir smacked Jonathan’s head at lightning speed.
Jonathan crossed his fists in front of his chest to defend himself.
As the powerful strike landed on him, Jonathan felt an intense penetration on his body. Every last drop
of his vitality was crushed to dust. His body flew three meters away, plummeted hard to the ground,
and slid further away.
An intense pain surged through his pelvis and back immediately. His clothes were ripped from friction
on the surface, and countless bruises formed on his back. Sand entered his clothes as well.
Meanwhile, there was a buzzing sound in his head as he began to see stars.
Blood was flowing out from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Yasir’s blow had caused Jonathan’s vitality to collapse, like a closed pot of water overflowing after a hit.
However, to a human’s body, it was considered a significant injury.
Shaking his head vigorously, Jonathan hurriedly calmed his mind and regained his composure. When
he raised his head, he saw Yasir pacing toward him. The latter’s gaze was cold and filled with
determination to end Jonathan’s life.
However, at that moment, Jonathan struggled to get to his feet. He only had one choice which was to
wait for his death.
As he expected his death would come one day, he was already mentally prepared for it. However, now
that it was really happening, he refused to accept reality.
How did I end up like this? What have I done wrong? Is it wrong to protect Yasmin or to take down
Strikezone Martial Arts? No. The gravest mistake is that I’m not strong enough.
At that moment, realization dawned upon Jonathan. However, he knew it was already too late.
Right then, Yasir’s phone rang.
Seeing that, Jonathan’s heart raced.
