Chapter 305 Jonathan turned around and caught sight of two men looking at them in front of the hospital across the street.
The two men had white khatas wrapped around their heads. They had dark skin and sturdy physiques, and they did not look like Chanaeans.
They were foreigners.
There was a sharp look in the men's eyes. Jonathan could tell at a glance that they were Thymionians.
It was likely that they were trained in kickboxing and had a good foundation in kickboxing.
Jonathan ignored them and did not take them seriously. He opened the door to the passenger seat and let Zoe get in the car before he got into the driver's seat.
It was half past eleven in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly.
The weather was hot, which seemed to indicate that summer had quietly arrived.
“Drive! They're the kickboxing experts from Daphunova Temple in Thymion,” Zoe, who was still in shock, hurriedly said.
Starting the engine, Jonathan shot her a confused look and asked, “Who exactly are you? Why did you manage to get the attention of such powerful enemies?” Zoe was stunned for a moment. “I will tell you everything when we're safe.” Jonathan stopped asking questions.
His driving skills were excellent as he quickly weaved through traffic and overtook other vehicles.
At the same time, he saw the two kickboxing experts following closely behind. They were so fast that he could not shake them off.
Jonathan also discovered that the two kickboxing experts were tailing him on purpose, as they could easily catch up
if they tried to.
Jonathan then saw daylight. The two men wanted to find a quiet place to fight. After all, they were in the downtown area, which was not a good place to stir up trouble. That was especially the case in Yaleview, the capital of Chanaea.
Zoe, who noticed the situation in the rearview mirror, could not help but feel anxious.
“It's going to be okay. Don't worry. | don't give a damn about these two men. You must know that here in Yaleview, very few people can lay a finger on the people | want to protect.” His confident tone put Zoe at ease for no reason.
Jonathan drove to a remote area, which was a route through the national highway. There were not many vehicles.
Soon, he came to the relatively empty highway.
It was then he saw the two men speeding up and catching
up to him like lightning.
Even after he stepped on the gas, he still could not get rid of them. At that moment, he understood that the cultivation of the two kickboxing experts had probably reached Nascent Soul.
“Hurry!” Zoe could not help but urge.
However, Jonathan slowed down and hit the brake.
As soon as the car came to a halt, Zoe's face turned pale with fright. She was baffled by Jonathan's action.
By then, the two kickboxing experts were already five meters away.
Jonathan said to Zoe, “Stay in the car and don't move.” He then got out of the car and walked toward the two men.
“Why the hell are you two following me?” The two men understood Chanaean, and their eyes turned cold.
The kickboxing expert on the left was Greyson Saab. Being in the final stage of Nascent Soul, he was extremely good
at kickboxing and was born with superpowers.
He dedicated his life to Daphunova Temple and remained a virgin.
The slightly shorter kickboxing expert on the right was Jamison Xzibit. He was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and was also a virgin. The positive energy of the two of them was particularly strong.
“Get out of here, you Chanaean, or we'll end you!” Greyson shouted at Jonathan as he clenched his fists.
Jonathan sneered. “Let's cut the nonsense and fight.” With that, he made a beeline toward Greyson and threw a Universal Punch.
His attack was unexpected and powerful, and his fist traveled through the air in an unpredictable course with strong force.
The punch proved the power of Jonathan's boxing skills.
Greyson and Jamison were taken aback as they did not expect Jonathan to be so aggressive at his first strike.
“Get out of the way!” Greyson yelled at Jamison. A strong fighting intent flashed across his eyes.
Faced with Jonathan's attack, Greyson took a step back and suddenly did a leg sweep.
Although the move was not particularly powerful in kickboxing, it produced an impressive effect when it was used by Greyson.
The move carried a strong gust of wind with it as if it was about to break the air.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was a high-speed, violent attack.
Without even thinking about it, Jonathan crouched down and dodged Greyson's leg, which swept over his head.
He then straightened himself up abruptly and kicked Greyson in the crotch.
Jonathan's fighting style was so sophisticated that it was unpredictable.
The look in Greyson's eyes changed slightly as he withdrew his leg and backed away. As soon as he took a
step back, he struck downward with his elbow.
His downward elbow strike was unimaginably intimidating.
Jonathan could not help but admire the change in Greyson.
He exclaimed happily in his heart, as it had been a long time since he had a well-matched opponent.
He could not dodge Greyson's downward elbow strike at all. Having already crouched down, he would lose his balance if he backed away.
Facing an expert like Greyson, Jonathan would only lose the fight if he lost his balance.
Without even blinking, he targeted Greyson's leg with his hand as though it was a knife.
His knife hand was so powerful that even a person who was good at hard technique could not withstand it.
Greyson had wanted Jonathan to dodge his elbow strike so that the latter would lose his balance. Little did he expect the latter to gain the upper hand first.
As long as Jonathan pierced through Greyson's leg,
Greyson would be the one to lose his balance.
Jonathan's attack was sped up when he unclenched his fist and used a knife hand, which was longer than a fist.
The fight between experts was a fight of a slight difference in skills.
Greyson was taken aback again as he felt the full force of Jonathan's strength.
He had no choice but to back away at that moment.
He took another step back, and Jonathan immediately rushed up to him like a crazy beast.
He threw Greyson a Hammer Fist.
Jonathan's boxing skills were a combination of the essence of various boxing styles.
Needless to say, the lethal power of a Hammer Fist was great.
Greyson felt a person appear before him, which made him feel as though he was about to be hit by a truck. The force was so powerful that it made him tremble in fear.
Being no easy target, Greyson roared and suddenly raised his forearms to block Jonathan's attack.
Jonathan felt as if he had hit a piece of steel that did not produce any reaction.
However, he knew that his Hammer Fist had definitely hurt Greyson.
Letting out a roar, Greyson attacked Jonathan with a series of elbow strikes.
Jonathan gritted his teeth. He did not dodge but took the strikes head-on.
After dozens of punches, Jonathan became stronger as the fight went on.
In the end, he threw a Rolling Thunder Punch.
Greyson was sent flying. After falling to the ground, he died on the spot.
Jonathan's vitality was stronger than that of Greyson. The latter was no match for him in a head-on fight.
When it came to boxing skills and techniques, Greyson was still no match for Jonathan.
The outcome was inevitable.
Jonathan looked at Jamison and said, “He died in a fair duel with me. | know you've spent a lot of effort and time to reach your current cultivation level, so just take his body and leave.” Jamison shot Jonathan a complicated glance and replied in poor Chanaean, “Your cultivation has reached perfection.
Even Greyson is no match for you, let alone me. But | advise you to hand over Zoe to me, or you'll face endless troubles. You'll be the enemy of the entire Daphunova Temple.” Jonathan was slightly startled. He could feel that the Daphunova Temple might be very powerful.
Nevertheless, he really could not hand over Zoe.
“Why do you want to catch Zoe? She's just a defenseless woman. Daphunova Temple is a temple, isn't it? Isn't a temple compassionate? Why would you give a pregnant,
defenseless woman a hard time?” “You don't understand. The baby that Zoe is carrying is no ordinary child. It must not be born, or it will be bad for our country!” Jonathan got even more curious. “How superstitious. It's just a child, isn't it? Or are you saying the child is the Chosen One?” Jamison took a deep breath. “Forget it. It's pointless to talk to you. The experts from Daphunova Temple will come to you after some time.” With that, he turned around and picked up Greyson's body before leaving.
Jonathan was filled with questions. He felt that he might have gotten himself a hot potato by helping Zoe out of kindness.
He turned around and got back into the car.
Zoe looked at him, and her expression changed. She said excitedly, “I didn't know you're such a powerful person.
With you protecting me, | won't be afraid.” Jonathan gave her an indifferent look, then started the car.
“Are you angry?” Zoe asked cautiously.
“Shouldn't | be? You drag me into this after messing with such a powerful enemy. If you hadn't met me by chance, you would've died. That man also said that Daphunova Temple will come to us again.” The car moved forward smoothly.
With eyes filled with tears, Zoe said, “I'm sorry, Mr. Lawson.
| didn't mean it. But being here all alone, | really can't think of any good solution, so | dragged you into this. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry!” Jonathan let out a faint sigh. “All right, all right.” After a pause, he asked, “Anyway, why does Daphunova Temple want you?” Not daring to hide it from him, Zoe revealed, “I don't specifically know how it happened. Just three months ago, a ray of light flew into my body. Then people from
Daphunova Temple came to me and said that the child I'm carrying is a monster and cannot be born.”
Chapter 306 “A monster?” Jonathan became curious. “What kind of monster?” Zoe replied, “The abbot of Daphunova Temple said that the fetus in my womb is the reincarnation of a cacodemon. If it's born, it will become an ominous omen for our country and lead countless demons to stir up trouble.” She paused briefly with a look of sorrow on her face. “I don't understand what the abbot said, but all | know is that this child is my flesh and blood. It's my child whom | will carry in my womb for several months. | don't have any family in this world. | only have this child. So what if i's a cacodemon? It's still my child, and | will give birth to it safely.” Maternal love is undoubtedly the greatest love in the world.
A woman may be willful and unruly before having a child, but they can magically become loving after having one.
This is the power of maternal love.
Of course, some deranged mothers and the like cannot be excluded.
After all, there are all kinds of miracles in this world.
“Where is the child's father?” Jonathan asked.
Zoe became even more depressed at that question. “I don't want to talk about him. He's the heir of a wealthy family and is already married. | thought he loved me, but once he found out | was pregnant, he gave me some money and told me to abort the child. After that, | took the money and fled to Yaleview under the protection of a kind monk from Daphunova Temple. He told me that Yaleview was the capital of Chanaea. Even Daphunova Temple wouldn't dare to go overboard here.” Jonathan began to feel uneasy after listening to Zoe's story. He was a sensible person.
If there was something wrong with the fetus in Zoe's womb, but he still insisted on protecting her, he would become the sinner of Thymion if the fetus brought disaster to Thymion.
Everything carries a certain level of importance.
Compared to the country, a person's life and death were insignificant.
However, Zoe was also not in the wrong.
If his wife were pregnant with a cacodemon, he would put his life on the line to protect it. After all, it was his child.
However, Jonathan did not have a deep relationship with Zoe, so his thoughts were still rational.
Jonathan could not bear to leave Zoe behind either. All right. I'll stop thinking about this and leave it to Jeff and Mabel. After all, they're from the Department of National Security and are in charge of the country's safety. Whether they decide to Kill the baby or not, | won't have to feel guilty about it.
Jonathan's heart clenched in sorrow when he thought of Mabel.
Mabel was still young and could be considered a peerless talent.
Was she already reaching the end of her life? Jonathan did not want to lose such a friend.
The car continued moving toward Appleton Residences.
It was one o'clock in the afternoon when Jonathan and Zoe arrived.
Jonathan brought Zoe upstairs to Mabel's apartment and opened the door with his keys.
To Jonathan's surprise, Mabel and Beatrix were drinking in the living room.
There was even a pot of delicious beef stew on the coffee table.
Jonathan felt touched by Beatrix when he saw this scene.
Although Beatrix might look cold and aloof, she was a kind and warm person. She knew that Mabel must be feeling depressed. After all, in the face of life and death, no one can stay indifferent about it. That was why Beatrix had ‘come to accompany and drink with Mabel.
‘When Mabel saw Jonathan, she smiled and said, “You came back just in time. Come and drink with us.” Then she immediately saw Zoe, who was following behind him.
Mabel and Beatrix did not know what was going on.
They knew that Jonathan liked to fool around, but he would not be so absurd as to bring a woman back home to spend the night. Moreover, this woman was pregnant.
Mabel stood up and asked, “What's going on?” Jonathan turned to Zoe and said, “Go to the room first.
Come out when | tell you to.” To Zoe, Jonathan was her last hope, so she listened to him without hesitation.
“Okay,” she said, then headed to the room.
Jonathan sat down in front of Mabel and Beatrix.
The two of them looked at him and waited for him to explain.
“Her name is Zoe. | met her three days ago when we took a taxi together. At that time, she wasn't feeling well, so | sent her to the hospital and left after paying for her hospital expenses. | left my phone number, and she called me today.” “Then you brought her back with you?” Beatrix asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“This matter is not that simple. The fetus in her womb is strange. It is believed to be the reincarnation of a ccacodemon. That's why people from Daphunova Temple have been hunting her. At that time, | didn't overthink it and just felt that | should not sit back and do nothing. However, according to the people from Daphunova Temple, the fetus would bring great misfortune to Thymion if it was born. | don't know how to deal with this.” He paused before continuing, “I think the only way to solve this is to find—" “Jeff, right?” Mabel rolled her eyes.
Jonathan chuckled. “That's right!” “It seems that Jeff is the only person we can turn to for something like that,” Mabel mused.
“That's right. | think so too,” Jonathan replied.
“All right, I'll call Jeff,” Mabel said and took out her phone.
The call went through quickly.
“Jeff...” Mabel looked gloomy as soon as she spoke. She rolled her eyes at Jonathan and immediately changed her
form of greeting. “Chief Yount.” Jonathan and Beatrix could not help but laugh.
Jeff was also feeling gloomy. He had been a cultured person all his life, but it all went down the drain because of Jonathan.
However, Jeff being gloomy was one thing. When he heard Mabel's explanation, he placed great importance on this matter. If Jeff was a petty person, he would have told them to bring Zoe over to him. However, he said, “All right. I'll come over right away.” With that, Mabel and Jeff hung up.
Mabel said to Jonathan, “As the saying goes, 'If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas!” Jonathan and Beatrix burst into laughter again.
At that moment, Jonathan was not troubled anymore. All of his troubles had been unloaded on Jeff.
He did not feel any guilt toward Zoe either. If he had not saved her, she would have been captured by the two
kickboxing experts.
As for handing her over to Jeff, at the very least, the latter was an upright person. All of his decisions were for the greater good.
After that, Jonathan welcomed Zoe out of the room. She had not eaten lunch either, so they ate together.
Mabel was very hospitable and even got someone to deliver some dishes suitable for a pregnant woman.
Jonathan took a sip of beer and said, “Zoe, a priest will be coming in a while. He's very curious about your situation and may observe you for a while.” Zoe instantly turned pale. “Mr. Lawson, you aren't—" “This situation is no small matter. You can ignore everything else for the sake of the fetus in your womb, but | need to take precautions. Do you understand?” Jonathan said seriously.
Zoe immediately stood up and said resolutely, “I want to leave!”
Jonathan glanced at Zoe. “Fine. If you want to leave, | won't stop you. However, if you stay, we will be studying your situation in detail.” If Zoe insisted on leaving, Jonathan would be freed from his responsibilities on this matter.
He would not be troubled by this anymore.
Zoe was stunned. If Jonathan had insisted on making her stay, she would have been determined to leave. However, Jonathan had agreed so easily that she did not dare to leave anymore.
She knew that once she left Jonathan, people from Daphunova Temple would find her quickly, and this time, she would not be that lucky.
Zoe hesitated for a moment. “The priest won't hurt my child, right?” “I can't guarantee anything, but | can assure you that he will never hurt you,” Jonathan replied.
Zoe clenched her teeth and said, “All right, Mr. Lawson.
You're a good man. | trust you.”
“Sit down and eat, then.” Zoe sat down obediently.
Half an hour later, Jeff arrived.
The moment he entered, he said, “I could feel the demonic aura when | was outside, but why can't | feel it when | enter the house? Could it be that the cacodemon sensed danger and restrained its aura?” He came to a stop in front of Zoe as he spoke.
At that moment, they were still having lunch.
Jonathan chuckled. “Jeff, do you want a drink too?” Jeff glanced at Jonathan and said, “Mabel's matter is not resolved yet, and there's another big issue. You're still in the mood to eat?” Jonathan instantly became somber.
Mabel sighed lightly and said, “If | really can't escape from this, then it's fate. If it's fate, I'll accept it.” A man's will prevails over the heavens'? It's all bullshit. Men
are insignificant compared to the heavens. We are as insignificant as dust. How can | win over the heavens? Jonathan remained silent.
Beatrix did not say anything either.
Jeff did not say anything more and turned to Zoe. “Can | touch your stomach?” He paused and continued, “I have no other intentions. | just want to feel what is happening to the fetus in your womb.” Zoe looked at Jonathan, who reassured her, “Chief Yount is an upright person. Don't worry.” Zoe said to Jeff, “Sir, | beg you. Please don't hurt my child.
As long as you don't harm my child, | will do anything you ask.” Jeff smiled wryly and said, “This makes me seem like a villain. Let me take a look first.” Zoe nodded.
Jeff reached out and rested his hand on Zoe's stomach.
Jonathan, Mabel, and Beatrix looked at Jonathan
nervously.
After what seemed like forever, Jeff withdrew his hand.
There was a grim look on his face.
Zoe was terrified. “What's wrong, Sir?” She was on the verge of tears.
“It really is the reincarnation of a cacodemon,” Jeff said.
“What exactly is a cacodemon?” Jonathan asked.
