Jonathan snickered icily and turned to Sean to say, “What goes around comes around. Victor hasn't offended you in any way, but you wanted to bully his daughter and take his fortune away from him. You're an evil man. Do you think God will let you go free?” Sean declared viciously, “That's enough. Who do you think you are? Are you God? Or a judge?” Jonathan replied coldly, “Who | am doesn't matter. Most importantly, you won't get what you want today.” A frosty glint appeared in Sean's eyes as he declared, “Right now, Victor and Briana are in my hands. Retreat immediately if you want them to be safe.” Jonathan burst into laughter before saying, “Sean, do you think I'm a fool to believe that they will be safe after | retreat? You are a Nascent Soul cultivator now. When you are at this cultivation stage, you know threats like this mean nothing. Besides, Victor and | are not related to each other.
I'am here only because he invited me here. If | allow you to bring him away, putting his life in danger, that will be a
failure on my part. However, my reputation won't be affected even if word got out that | killed you and Kairo here.” Hatred flashed across Sean's eyes when he realized Jonathan wasn't about to cave in. He knew someone as powerful as Jonathan would never go back on his word.
“Are you sure you want to fight to the end?” Sean asked coldly.
Jonathan remained calm. “No one wants to fight to the end.
Why don't we do this? If you agree to release them both, | promise to let you both go free.” Delight surfaced in Sean's gaze, but he quickly regained his composure and asked worriedly, “How do | know you'll keep your word?” Jonathan told him, “That's your only chance. You have to try your luck. If you win, both of you will survive. If you lose, you'll lose your life. Anyway, if you try to take Victor and Briana away with you, you'll end up dead.” Sean glanced at Kairo, who seemed afraid.
Kairo blurted out, “Sean, he's a strong cultivator who keeps his word. | think we can trust him.” Sean clenched his jaw and told Jonathan, “Okay. | shall release Victor and Briana. | hope you'll keep your word and release us. From today onward, we won't cross paths again.” Jonathan nodded. “But of course.” With that said, he stepped aside to make way for them. “Go ahead,” he said nonchalantly.
Sean and Kairo shared a look, and the latter released Victor and Briana.
After regaining freedom, they both began to pant.
Slowly, Sean and Kairo made their way out without putting their guards down. They kept an eye on Jonathan, afraid that he would take action suddenly.
Nevertheless, Jonathan remained impassive as though he didn't plan on taking any action.
Sean and Kairo were about to arrive at the door, so they
could finally relax a little.
It looks like Jonathan is a man of his word.
Alas, a shocking turn of events was about to unfold.
“I think you should stay!” Jonathan's icy voice rang out.
At the same time, he took action in a flash.
In just the blink of an eye, Jonathan appeared behind them using Shadow Step.
Jonathan slapped Kairo's shoulder. Kairo was caught unaware and couldn't avoid Jonathan's attack.
Crack! His shoulder blade shattered into pieces as he was pinned to the ground, unable to get to his feet.
Sean blanched in horror and turned to flee the scene.
However, Jonathan was faster than him. Activating his Haemocore, he struck Sean's head with the Great Sage Seal.
In an instant, the skies and earth shook violently.
Sean's vision tuned dark.
He raised his arm to stop Jonathan, but Jonathan's Great Sage Seal forced him to fall to his knees.
Sean crashed to the ground, his knees bleeding profusely.
Despite his efforts, he could no longer stand up.
They were both Nascent Soul cultivators but weren't ethical or strong-willed enough. Thus, it wasn't hard to deal with them.
Jonathan wouldn't be able to defeat strong-willed and righteous cultivators easily.
Perhaps some might ask why Sean and Kairo were able to achieve the Nascent Soul cultivation stage when they were despicable beings.
That was because they relied on elixir pills and other means to achieve success just like the descendants of respectable families.
Jonathan was just an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but he wasn't afraid of them at all.
Nevertheless, if he was still at the final stage of Neutralizing
Force cultivation stage, he wouldn't be their match.
The gap between cultivation stages couldn't be narrowed by one's strategy and murderous intent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut that was a story for another day. Right then, Sean was boiling with anger. Glaring at Jonathan, he demanded, “You're a cultivator. How could you go back on your word? What a despicable person!” Jonathan gave him a look and said, “Previously, | was honest enough to keep my promise to a despicable man. As a result, | nearly died at his hands.
After that, | realized one thing—one shouldn't be honest to despicable men. If you're despicable, | must be more despicable than you.” Sean was shaking in fury, but there was nothing he could do about the situation. He hissed, “My grandpa won't let you off easily.” Jonathan snorted. “Kids might fall for your lies, but | won't.
If your grandpa is that powerful, you won't have to resort to despicable means.” He paused before adding, “Don't you
worry. I've asked my friend working in the Department of National Security to investigate your background. | will find out who you are soon.” With that, he pulled his phone out.
Meanwhile, Briana was standing aside, seemingly in a daze. She was still shocked after what happened and couldn't accept the outcome.
Victor came to Jonathan, both impressed and filled with respect for the latter.
Deep down, he couldn't help but think, The Divine Realm indeed lives up to its reputation.
He asked, “What should we do about them?” Before Jonathan could answer, his phone rang.
It was a call from Mabel. What a coincidence.
Jonathan told Victor to wait before answering the call.
Mabel's voice rang over the phone. “Jonathan, how are things faring on your side?”
Jonathan's gaze swept over Sean and Kairo, who were both captured, and replied, “Sean and Kairo wanted to kidnap Victor and his daughter, so | captured them both.
How did your investigation go?” “I found out who he is,” came Mabel's answer. There was a hint of excitement in her voice as she continued, “There is an influential figure in the military world whose surname is Watson. His name is Barnaby Watson, and his grandson is Sean Watson. However, we have contacted the real Sean Watson, and he's on the way here with his subordinates.
Jonathan, make sure they don't escape. Do you know you've done a great service this time?” Jonathan scratched his nose and flashed a smile. “It tus out I've done a great service without realizing it. What exactly happened?” Mabel explained, “It's a coincidence. The fake Sean's name is Otto Sharp, and he resembles General Sean Watson.
We have yet to find out where they came from, but Otto has impersonated General Watson to do many evil deeds.
General Watson hated him to the bone, so both Old Mr.
Watson and General Watson are delighted that you have captured them.” Realization dawned on Jonathan. “But that doesn't mean I've done a great service.” Mabel told him joyfully, “Of course it is. Otto is evil and has caused great harm to society. Besides, he's a strong and sly cultivator, so it is hard for us to get something on him.
‘You've done a great service to the Department of National Security by capturing them.” Jonathan chuckled. “All right, then. Whatever you say. We shall talk later.” He then hung up.
“What is going on?” Victor asked earnestly.
Jonathan's lips curled as he pointed at the fake Sean. “Mr.
‘Yarbrough, you don't have to worry about this man. He isn't the real Sean Watson, for his name is Otto Sharp. The real General Sean Watson is making his way here. This impostor won't be able to escape.” After saying that, Jonathan turned to the fake Sean. “Your
name is Otto Sharp, right?” The fake Sean, who was dejected, lifted his head slowly after hearing Jonathan's question.
Without warning, his gaze turned extremely vicious and cruel. A horrifying grin crept across his lips as he declared, “Yes, you're right. | am Otto Sharp. You think you are clever, huh? You've got yourself into deep sh*t, you big fool.
Haha! That's because we are messengers from Eonetaral” Suddenly, black blood emerged from his eyes and trickled down his cheeks.
Jonathan felt a chill go down his spine after he heard Otto's words. The terrifying sight caused him to jolt in fear. Sh*t! He committed suicide! The sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
It was too late for Jonathan to stop him. He whipped his head around to look at Kairo, but the latter suffered from the same fate—he had consumed poison to commit suicide.
Both Kairo and Otto collapsed onto the ground, dead.
Briana was horrified by the sight.
Victor's face was pale as well. He might be a capable businessman, but that was the first time in his life that he had seen dead people.
“What should we do now?” Victor asked.
“The Department of National Security has interfered, so you won't get into trouble,” came Jonathan's calm answer.
Victor said, “But Otto said something about messengers from Eonetara before he died. What does that mean? It sounded really scary.” Jonathan was frustrated, too. D*mn it. Kairo and Otto are Nascent Soul cultivators, but they prepared poison in their mouths. They were disciplined, so it looks like someone is behind them. Besides, the mastermind must've ordered them to raise money. Messengers from Eonetara, huh? What does that mean? Jonathan couldn't figure out what Otto's dying words meant.
Something told him that a mysterious and scary force was behind Otto.
One thing Jonathan was sure about was that he had definitely got himself into trouble once again.
“Well, it's no different as | have many enemies now.” Jonathan didn't take it to heart as he had gotten into too much trouble.
Nevertheless, he didn't stay idle and immediately gave Mabel a call.
The call went through quickly.
Jonathan reported solemnly, “Mabel, something unexpected happened. Otto and Kairo consumed poison and died. Before dying, they claimed | got into deep trouble because they are messengers from Eonetara. You need to hurry up and send someone to arrest Bjarne and Terry, whom | crippled earlier, to see if there are any leads.”
Jonathan snickered icily and turned to Sean to say, “What goes around comes around. Victor hasn't offended you in any way, but you wanted to bully his daughter and take his fortune away from him. You're an evil man. Do you think God will let you go free?” Sean declared viciously, “That's enough. Who do you think you are? Are you God?
