I Am Unstoppable novel

Jonathan looked into King Sergiu and discovered that the latter acceded to the throne in 971 CE. That was almost three thousand years ago.

My calculations might be wrong.

Jonathan had to admit that his history wasn't that good.

It could only mean one thing—King Sergiu's treasure had been hidden for thousands of years.

Over the span of a few thousand years, many had tried to locate King Sergiu's treasure but to no avail. Can | find it? I'm not sure about that.

Nonetheless, Jonathan wasn't about to go back on his word. He knew he was placing his life on the line. Lailah stepped up, so it was his chance to shine. He would receive a plump reward if he were to succeed.

Jonathan continued researching about King Sergiu.

The more he found, the more interested he got.

In Chanaea, they were taught history that started five thousand years ago. Not many Chanaeans knew what the

people from the other side of the ocean were up to. In the past, they assumed Chanaea was the only country in the world.

Yet, King Sergiu's era was spectacular—the Holy Knights expedition, their mythical stories, the era of the Holy Book, and the ruins of Radford.

King Sergiu, the Seventy-Two Demons, and many more were part of Epea's history and mythology.

Perhaps there were planets with living beings in outer space, or parallel worlds did exist.

Many mysteries and secrets remained incomprehensible to humans in the world.

Jonathan spent two hours reading everything about King Sergiu. He finally got an understanding of what the man was all about.

According to legends, King Sergiu was a nobody until he received his god's instructions. He then got to own the Sinai Bible, the Holy Chest, and the legendary King Sergiu's

treasure.

King Sergiu built the Sacred Temple in Yeringham, and he became well-respected by Yartranians and Irethielians.

He gathered countless treasures and placed them in the Sacred Temple.

During 590 CE, the new Bera king attacked Yeringham for the second time. Three years later, the Bera army finally captured Yeringham. The palace and Sacred Temple were burnt to ashes. Many Yartranians were transported to Bera to be the latter's prisoners. Since then, the valuable Holy Chest, King Sergiu's treasure, and the Sinai Bible had gone missing.

For years, people tried to find the Holy Chest and King Sergiu's treasure but forgot all about the Sinai Bible.

Perhaps everyone assumed it wasn't that valuable.

Unfortunately, they remained missing until today. The first person to search for the Holy Chest was an elder from Irethiel going by the name of Shamai. When ‘Yeringham was captured, Shamai went into hiding and

didn't get captured by the Berans. After the Berans left, he went to the remains of the Sacred Temple to find the Holy Chest. His plan was to steal it and hide it somewhere outside Yeringham. Shamai saw the legendary Holy Boulder among the ruins of the Sacred Temple. It was said that the Holy Chest was placed on this boulder.

Nevertheless, the Holy Chest was nowhere to be seen.

Where on earth was the Holy Chest hidden? At the beginning of the century, some scholars believed that the Holy Chest and King Sergiu's treasure were hidden in a hole beneath the Holy Boulder.

Jonathan was thinking that the Sinai Bible was hidden together with these treasures.

Feeling tired from all the reading, Jonathan massaged his temples. He got all the information from various posts online and wasn't sure if they were accurate.

The matter was extremely complicated, so Jonathan knew it was hard to find Sinai Bible.

He then recalled Mabel.

Mabel is the chief of the sixth division at the Department of National Security. She should know more than | do.

With that thought in mind, he hurried out of his bedroom and went to a quiet area to give Mabel a call.

Mabel answered his call almost immediately. “Jonathan, do you have any updates?” Jonathan replied sternly, “Yes, | do.” “What is it?” Mabel urged.

“I need to talk to you about something,” Jonathan told her.

“Sure. What is it?” “You wanted a Fortune Pill, right? It's an Immortal Pill that is quite hard to come by,” Jonathan responded.

Stunned, Mabel replied, “That isn't urgent. If you can help, then help me to find it. If you can't, never mind.” Jonathan chuckled. “What if | can get you a Ninth Immortality Pill?” Shocked, Mabel chided, “D*mn it! Jonathan, are you taking me for a fool? A Ninth Immortality Pill is a Heaven Pill. Stop

dreaming about it. You can't get it easily.” Jonathan told her solemnly, “I'm not joking. Anyway, I'm going all out this time. I'm taking on a dual- level mission.

Once | succeed, I'll get two Ninth Immortality Pills.” “Are you serious?” Mabel was astonished.

Calmly, Jonathan said, “Let me explain everything to you...” He then explained everything to her, including Lailah and his current predicament. He didn't forget to list out the benefits that he stood to receive.

“I've already agreed to it. | need to try one last time, even if it means | have to risk my life,” Jonathan declared.

A brief silence later, Mabel sighed. “I thought you'd stop after entering the Divine Realm. Alas, you're merely jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. You've already made up your mind, so | won't say anything else. Be careful, though. Let me know if you need my help.” Jonathan didn't hold back and questioned, “You're knowledgeable, so do you know anything about the Sinai

Bible?” Mabel was quick to reply, “We don't have any files about King Sergiu. However, | believe the Irethiel government has information about him. | can't ask for their help, or they will assume we are planning something against them.

Nonetheless, this could be a clue for you.” She paused before adding, “I still think that King Sergiu's treasure is a legend. It doesn't exist.” “| used to think the same way, too. In Divine Realm, the Divine Emperor's power is limitless. Since he wrote the mission on the mission board, | believe it exists.” “I hope so,” came Mabel's answer.

“I think Lucio and Jeremy will cause trouble for me during my journey. Can you get my gun into Irethiel?” Jonathan inquired.

“Sure. But | think you shouldn't rely on the gun. It's a good opportunity for you to hone your skills,” Mabel reminded him.

She's right. Jonathan then agreed readily.

The call was soon ended.

The next morning, Lailah came to the hotel and called Jonathan in the lobby.

Jonathan climbed out of bed and washed up. He then bade Catherine goodbye. Before heading downstairs, he gave Simon a call and told the latter to inform Elijah and Lesley.

Jonathan went downstairs to meet Lailah, who came here in her Beetle.

Jonathan got into the passenger seat.

Inside the car, he immediately caught a whiff of her perfume.

Lailah was clad in a bright red coat, making her look like a city lady.

Her straight hair looked sleek and pretty. One would think she was a manager working in a company.

Jonathan also realized that Lailah had put on some lipstick that day. Her lips were lush and attractive. He was even

tempted to give her a kiss.

After Jonathan made himself comfortable, Lailah told him, “It's not too late to go back on your word. The mission is dangerous, so | won't force you to come with me.” Jonathan flashed a smile. “It doesn't matter if we fail. | would be honored to be sealed off together with you, Lailah.” Lailah chuckled lightly. “You're married. Why are you still such a sweet talker?” “Even though I'm married, nothing can stop me from admiring pretty flowers as long as | don't pluck them off.” He sounded quite flirtatious.

Jonathan immediately regretted saying that.

Lailah wasn't an ordinary woman. She was an inner disciple in the inner circle of the Divine Realm and a Celestial Soul expert.

A nobody like me isn't fit to flirt with someone as influential as her.

Fortunately, Lailah didn't respond to his flirting. Calmly, she started the engine and drove away. “| prepared some breakfast for you. There are some donuts and milk in the glove compartment.” Jonathan was starving, so he nodded in acknowledgment.

Oh, I'm glad she didn't fly into a rage.

Opening the glove compartment, Jonathan took out the box of donuts. The donuts were still piping hot and tasted delicious. He ate five of them in one shot.

“Where are we going?” Jonathan asked.

“I've booked us flight tickets for eight-thirty. Our destination is Yeringham International Airport in Irethiel. We're going to board the plane in an hour,” Lailah informed him.

Jonathan knew what she had in mind. “When are we going to accept the mission?” “When we arrive in Yeringham. | brought my laptop and wireless card, so we can accept the mission anytime. After

we receive the mission, it will appear on our phones. We will know who took the same mission, too,” Laila explained.

Jonathan nodded. That is a thoughtful function.

Half an hour later, Jonathan and Lailah arrived at Lostaria International Airport.

It was only seven in the morning, and the snow had stopped. Sunlight filtered into the departure hall.

Jonathan and Lailah checked in and got their tickets.

Soon, it was time to board their plane. They boarded the plane successfully. Before that, Lailah reminded him, “Don't reveal our identities easily. The Divine Realm might be feared by many, but those who are capable know that the members of Divine Realm only show up when they have set their eyes on something. If our identities were to be revealed in Yeringham, the government would keep an eye onus.” Jonathan nodded. “Okay, got it.” He chuckled and added, “It's not like I'm going to stop anyone to tell them that I'm a member of Divine Realm, right?”

Lailah ignored his joke.

The plane soon took off and soared into the sky.

It flew among the clouds.

Jonathan had the window seat, and Lailah sat beside him.

The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky.

Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene, filtering through the marshmallow clouds outside Jonathan's window. It was a sight to behold.

Lailah was very relaxed throughout the flight.

She wasn't very interested in looking at the scenery—that was why she had let Jonathan sit by the window. Not long after, she fell asleep.

Jonathan stared at the beautiful fluffy clouds in the sky and suddenly felt that life worked in strange ways.

He remembered a quote from Forrest Gump.

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

Avyear ago, he was on the battlefields in Smealand with his men as they ate and drank heartily together.

Then, half a year ago, he reached Horington and had been through so much.

Although it wasn't like what he had experienced on the battlefield, the hidden darkness and bloodbath were even more terrifying.

Yet, what he missed the most were the days he spent at the cheap rental place in Horington, where he peeked at

Jennifer when the latter was taking a bath.

The chances one would face in life were really unpredictable.

He never expected to get married so quickly and be in Divine Realm.

Jonathan had only become who he was after going through all that.

Therefore, at that moment, he was excited about the next mission.

The moment he was engrossed in his thoughts, Lailah's head suddenly leaned onto his shoulder.

He stiffened up all of a sudden and slowly lowered his head to look at her, who was still sleeping soundly.

Jonathan stayed still for fear that he would wake her up.

They looked like a couple then.

He lowered his head and peered in her direction.

Lailah didn't wear her cardigan that day. Instead, she wore

a white, round-neck T-shirt.

‘With his head lowered, he could see the inside of the shirt through her collar.

He hastily glanced and caught a glimpse of her fair skin.

At that moment, all he could hear was his violent heartbeat.

Back then, he was completely calm when he peeked at Jennifer because she wasn't a cultivator. That was why he was able to maintain calm when it came to her.

However, that wasn't the case with Lailah.

To him, Lailah's identity was very intimidating.

No. | can't look anymore! This is immoral! Immediately, another voice rang in his head. Bullsh*t! Who are you to talk about morals? How many times have you peeked at Jennifer? But I'm a married man now! So what if you're married? Peeking at other women doesn't mean that you're having an affair!

All right! After a brief internal debate, he finally persuaded himself.

Most importantly, he didn't want to let such a great opportunity slip by. If he didn't seize the opportunity, he wouldn't be himself anymore.

This is such an excellent opportunity! I'l definitely die a terrible death if | let this slip! With that, he turned around again and lowered his head slightly before glancing downward. The way he swept his gaze across the place for fear that someone might see him was the same as what a thief would do before stealing something.

Once he was sure that no one was paying attention to him, he let out a relieved breath and looked downward.

Lailah wore a black bra. He was completely drawn to her fair skin and captivating cleavage.

Soon, Jonathan couldn't take it anymore as blood was threatening to flow out of his nostrils.

It shocked him. Sh*t! I'll be doomed, and it'll be so embarrassing if | get a nosebleed and let the blood get on her chest! There was no way someone as intelligent as Lailah wouldn't know why blood was on her chest.

In a rush, Jonathan quickly circulated his vitality away to force the blood back.

D*mn it! That was close! Fortunately, | am a cultivator.

Otherwise, | would not have been able to get away with that! At that moment, Lailah woke up.

She blushed the moment she realized that she was leaning on Jonathan's shoulder. Then, she sat up abruptly.

Trying to brush off the awkwardness, she ignored him as she tidied her messy strands of hair.

Her actions were charming and attractive.

With that, the tiny interlude was over.

Lailah would never know that her bra was exposed, and

Jonathan would never admit to peeking.

After a long flight, the two of them finally landed at ‘Yeringham International Airport at ten o'clock in the evening, following the time in Irethiel.

The flight took around ten hours, but there was a time difference between Irethiel and Lostaria.

After they walked out of the airport, Jonathan saw the age- old city of Yeringham.

The place was rich with the history of Epea, including history about the intrusion of the Holy Knights, King Sergiu, Sacred Temple, Yartranians, Irethielians, and many other religions.

‘Yeringham was a bustling city, but many ancient castles still existed due to the preservation of heritage and culture.

There was a square with a water fountain outside the international airport and a bright moon in the clear sky.

Tourists who had just arrived were everywhere; they included Jetroinians, Chanaeans, Koandrians,

Smealanders, and locals. Excitement filled their faces as they stepped into Yeringham.

Besides that, many tourists were leaving the place.

Jonathan took in a deep breath as he closed his eyes briefly.

That moment he did that, countless images surfaced in his mind as a result of the historical aura. For instance, he saw the intrusion of the Holy Knights, the scene on the cross, and the ancient Yartranian.

“Let's find a hotel first,” Lailah said to him.

Of course, he had no problem with that. “Okay!” Then, Lailah hailed a taxi, and they got in.

The taxi driver was a Yartranian who had intelligent eyes.

“Please bring us to a five-star hotel nearby,” Lailah said in Chanaean.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

The Yartranian looked confused when he heard what Lailah said.

Jonathan said to Lailah, “I guess he doesn't understand

Chanaean.” Lailah asked, “Should we speak in Ustranasian then?” Jonathan chuckled bitterly and said, “As much as | don't want to admit it, Ustranasian seems more internationally recognized.” After a brief pause, he said to the driver in Ustranasian, “We're here on holiday.” Obviously, the driver understood and replied in Ustranasian, “Welcome to our city!” Jonathan continued, “But it's getting late, so we'd like to stay in a nice hotel first.” The driver replied, “Okay. No problem!” Then, he paused before asking, “You're a married couple, right?” Jonathan answered, “Yes, we are.” At that moment, Lailah looked at Jonathan strangely.

Despite not being happy about it, she remained silent.

On the other hand, Jonathan thought it would make things simpler if they pretended to be husband and wife since they shouldn't expose their identities as members of the Divine

Realm.

After that, the Yatranian driver focused on driving.

Jonathan had a nap during the flight, so he was very energetic and took in the sights of Yeringham excitedly.

After half an hour, the taxi driver pulled over in front of Grand Yeringham Hotel.

Since Lailah had already prepared the local currency beforehand, they didn't have problems paying the driver.

After that, they walked into Grand Yeringham Hotel.

The hotel lobby was huge, and there were many hotel guests around.

Both of them approached the front desk straight away.

The receptionist was a dignified-looking Irethielian lady.

She greeted them with perfect Ustranasian.

Lailah said, “Two presidential suites, please.” Since Lailah was rich, she made that request without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Jonathan was happy to enjoy it since he thought money was just something in exchange for service.

They might die at any time during their jobs, so they took the opportunity to treat themselves well whenever possible.

The receptionist smiled slightly as she said, “I'm sorry, but it's the peak season, so we only have one standard room left.” At that moment, Lailah was stunned.

It was the same for Jonathan, but he was a little excited.

However, he felt a little sorry for Catherine for anticipating it.

He'd rather stay quiet and leave everything to fate.

Lailah frowned. “How is it possible? This hotel is huge!” The receptionist apologized immediately, “I'm sorry. There are too many tourists lately, so...” Lailah was quiet for a while as she thought about it. Since she was tired and didn't want to look for another hotel, she

said, “Okay. Give me the room.” “All right,” the receptionist replied instantly.

“You'd better not overthink it. We're just here for the mission, so desperate times call for desperate measures,” Lailah said to Jonathan in Chanaean after shooting him a glance.

He smiled. “Don't worry, Lailah. I'm not thinking about anything | shouldn't. I'll sleep on the couch.” Lailah hummed in response.

After that, the two took their keys and headed to the room.

The room was situated on the eighteenth floor. They realized that the room had a vintage feel after opening the door.

Other than that, the room was great and exotic.

Nonetheless, Jonathan was troubled. Why is the room so small? And where's the couch? How come it doesn't even have a couch? There was only a big bed, a LED television, and a

bathroom with a hazy glass screen.

Obviously, the room was meant for those who wanted a one-night stand.

Lailah's face fell slightly the moment she saw the room.

Without hesitation, Jonathan suggested, “Why don't | sleep on the floor?” She responded, “No. Desperate times call for desperate measures.” Since she said it herself, it would be too melodramatic if she asked him to sleep on the floor because of the situation.

“I'm going to take a shower. Can you go out first?” she said ‘emotionlessly, implying him to get out of the room.

At that moment, Jonathan was still fantasizing about how she would look when she showered.

Hence, it was as if cold water was poured onto his head when he heard her. What else could he say other than agree to it?

After that, he went out and closed the door behind him.

Half an hour later, Lailah opened the door.

At that moment, her hair was still wet, and she was scrunching her hair with the towel. Besides that, she wore a red round-neck T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

Irethiel was mainly covered by deserts, so the place was very dry.

Therefore, it was warm there, even during winter.

Jonathan was stunned when he saw how Lailah was drying her hair. She looks more normal now.

After Lailah finished rubbing her hair dry, she took out her laptop and sat cross-legged on the bed.

No one knew what she was doing on her laptop.

Jonathan closed the door. Feeling a little stirred up, he asked, “Lailah, I'm going to shower now. Would you like to go out first?” She looked at him and said naturally, “Why do | need to?

I'm not going to peek anyway.” He was stunned for a moment and couldn't say anything.

She's got a point.
