I Am Unstoppable novel

Gabriel still hadn't said what he did before Jonathan closed the laptop and stomped it into pieces.

Jonathan pulled Lailah out of the room. “Let's go.” As they speedily left the room, she asked with curiosity, “Why didn't you let him finish?” “He's trying to buy time. There must be something strange inside the room. It's probably an object that, once we interact with it for long enough, he'll be able to capture our magnetic field, breathing rhythm, et cetera accurately. Then he'll use what he learned to control us.” “How can you be so sure?” “Gabriel is a smart man, but I'm no fool, either.” “What do we do now?” “We go back to our room and rest.” Inside another room, Gabriel and Lucio were observing what was happening through a surveillance camera. The moment Jonathan and Lailah left the room, Lucio paled slightly. “What do we do? Your Octagram Abstruse

Formation was just activated. It didn't have time to suck their spirit essence at all.” Gabriel's expression remained unchanged. “This is more interesting. If they were controlled by me so easily, then they aren't worthy of being my opponents.” “What do we do now?” With a faint smile, Gabriel said, “When they came out of their room, | asked someone to release a little Incense of Lost Souls inside their room. | made it myself. Once they leave the room, I'll use magnetic force to retrieve the Incense of Lost Souls, which will have their spirit essence inside.” Lucio was shocked as a chill ran down his spine. Gabriel is terrifyingly shrewd. How can anyone defend themselves against him? Only disaster awaits those who become his enemy.

The greatest skill Gabriel possessed was his ability to manipulate people.

As they spoke, he connected the laptop to the surveillance cameras in the corridor, allowing them to watch what was happening there live.

On the screen, they saw Jonathan and Lailah arriving in front of their room.

Just as Lailah was about to enter the room, Jonathan abruptly grabbed her.

She turned to him and asked, “What's the matter?” With a deep voice, he said, “Gabriel's a cheeky b*stard.

There's no way he'd let me see through his tricks that easily. It's very possible he did something in our room when we went looking for him.” Lailah's heart dropped. She was beginning to realize how scary Gabriel was.

She had always honed her skills to kill, and whenever she engaged in a fight, she would do so openly. However, all of Gabriel's tactics were secretive and unpredictable.

“Maybe you're just overthinking it?” Lailah asked.

Jonathan replied, “It's better to be safe than sorry, especially when we're dealing with Gabriel. | think we should stay out of the room and ask a staff member to retrieve our luggage for us.” In response, she nodded in agreement.

And so, both of them went to the lobby and asked a staff member to grab their luggage for them.

‘When they received their luggage, they examined it carefully. Once they determined there was no issue with the luggage, they paid the bills and left.

Gabriel and Lucio were still in the room.

At that moment, Lucio realized how good Jonathan was. | thought Gabriel was crafty, but Jonathan's no slouch, either.

Their battle is undoubtedly a ferocious one. | thought | was pretty good, but now that I've seen what the two of them are capable of, | feel like I'm just a kid in the park compared to them in terms of intelligence.

“What's next?” he asked.

Rotating the ring in his hand, Gabriel replied with a plain

expression, “We still have plenty of time and opportunities, so let's just take this slow.” After Jonathan and Lailah left the hotel, they called for a taxi.

When they entered the vehicle, they asked the Yartranian driver to drive them to the city center, which he did speedily and attentively.

Jonathan and Lailah proceeded to use Chanaean to communicate. That way, they wouldn't need to worry about the driver listening to their conversation.

“Are we just going to keep running like startled cats?” When her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked beautiful in a unique way.

He replied, “They're hiding in the dark while we're in the light. It's difficult for us to fight back like this. Gabriel's divination is simply too powerful. He can simply deduce where we're going.” His previous battle with Gabriel upset him because no matter what he did, Gabriel would already know about it in

advance, whereas he had no idea what Gabriel was planning.

“It's not difficult to find out where they are. We'll just pay the local mob bosses a visit. Their vast network of connections will probably help us find them. If we don't kill Gabriel before we find the Sinai Bible, we'll only be handing it to him on a silver platter.” Jonathan's eyes glimmered. “That's a good idea.” “Then we shall pause our search for the Sinai Bible until we can kill Gabriel, no matter how long it takes. At most, all of us will just get sealed off together.” “I bet if we head home now, it'll dumbfound Gabriel and the others.” Suddenly, he became very interested in seeing Gabriel's expression if they did that.

Upon rolling her eyes at Jonathan, Lailah said, “They'll have lots of difficulties finding the Sinai Bible. We shouldn't put our fates in someone else's hands.” “I know. | was just joking.”

When they arrived at the center of Yeringham, they found another hotel to check in.

Additionally, both of them were still staying in the same room. Since Gabriel's threat was looming over them, sleeping in separate rooms would only increase their risk of getting caught off guard.

They slept inside a presidential suite. Jonathan took the couch, which he found comfortable, while Lailah took the bed.

Nightmares didn't haunt him again when he fell asleep.

That was because he was very far away from Gabriel at the moment. The latter didn't have the ability to give people nightmares from a long distance.

Additionally, the nightmares were kind of pointless.

In the past, vengeful spirits loved to appear in the dreams of those who wronged them as a means of seeking revenge. They would haunt those people's dreams, making them unable to sleep and deteriorating their mental states.

However, Jonathan wasn't the type of person who would get controlled by nightmares.

Both he and Lailah had a pretty good sleep after a rough night.

It wasn't until eight in the morning that he woke up, sat up, and stretched his body. Then he arrived in front of the balcony and opened the curtains.

The moment he did, sunlight poured into the room, bathing him in a golden glow.

Since they were on the thirty-sixth floor, Jonathan was able to see the entire city when he looked down. In the distance, he saw a couple of temples.

YYeringham was also a city filled with religious overtones.

The air was a little dry, though that didn't affect Jonathan's mood. Moving from the cold Lostaria to the warm ‘Yeringham would make anyone happy when they saw bright sunlight like that.

Soon, Jonathan heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.

Turning back, he saw Lailah standing at the entrance. She had just woken up, which was why she looked drowsy.

‘When he saw her, it made him excited in an instant.

That was because her white robe wasn't properly secured.

Thus, her fair thighs were somewhat visible behind the robe.

Hot d*mn! Jonathan gulped.

It had been a long time since he touched a woman, and it was still early in the morning, which was when men were the most energetic.

She was practically tempting him to commit a crime.

When Lailah noticed Jonathan's stare, it woke her up completely. Without delay, she returned to the room and slammed the door shut.

He depressingly rubbed his nose. | can't be blamed for doing that! Around five minutes later, Lailah exited the bedroom, fully

clothed.

Upon seeing him, she acted as though nothing had happened, and there weren't any unique expressions on her face.

Besides, nothing really happened. Jonathan only glanced at her thighs. The sight that day was far tamer compared to when he saw her breasts on the plane.

After they washed up, they grabbed their luggage and went downstairs.

Considering Gabriel's threat, they couldn't stay in the same hotel and the same room for two days.

They went to the hotel's second floor to enjoy their free breakfast.

While the breakfast was said to be free, the price was likely already included in their bills.

There were many other guests around when they ate their breakfasts. The guests around came from different countries and had different skin colors.

It would appear that Yeringham's tourism industry was relatively well-developed. Religious people especially loved to visit the city.

After all, the Sacred Temple was considered a holy land by many worshippers.

Lailah's outfit was pretty simple, as it only consisted of a white shirt and a pair of jeans. Her hair was also tied into a ponytail. Her look made her seem like she was really a tourist.

On the other hand, Jonathan had a buzz cut and was wearing a black shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of sports shoes, making him look clean and simple.

As she ate bread and drank cream corn soup, she asked, “Where should we start looking for an information broker? Any ideas?” “I do have some, but we shouldn't be looking for information brokers. Instead, we should be looking for the person controlling the brokers. In other words, we're looking for the ruler of Yeringham's underworld. Someone like that would

definitely know a lot more about the location of the Third Sacred Temple, the Sinai Bible, and even Gabriel's whereabouts than ordinary people.” “But we know basically nothing about the city. We have no idea who the ruler of the underworld is or where he is. How are we going to find them?” With a faint smile, Jonathan stated, “It's simple!” “Simple?” “There are always gray businesses in cities, and Yeringham is no exception. Those running a gray business tend to have an even more powerful figure supporting them.

Otherwise, government officials or other people from the underworld will come looking for trouble. Later on, we'll go and find the entertainment district in the city.” Lailah's eyes glimmered. Jonathan's quite smart.

After they finished their breakfasts, both of them deposited their luggage in a hotel before leaving the building and hailing a taxi.

The taxi's engine started when they entered the vehicle.

The driver was an old Irethielian.

However, he didn't know any Ustranasian, so he used his country's language to communicate with Jonathan.

Jonathan frowned. | have no idea what he's saying.

With no other choice, they had to hail a new taxi.

Before they entered the vehicle, Jonathan asked, “Do you know Ustranasian?” The driver was Chanaean, and he spoke using Chanaean.

“What? Is speaking Chanaean not good enough for a fellow Chanaean anymore? I'm just a driver. | don't need to pass sixth-grade Ustranasian.”

Jonathan's face immediately reddened with embarrassment. Bloody h*ll, | should've noticed that he was a Chanaean too! At the side, Lailah held her forehead and sighed. While Jonathan's an intelligent man sometimes, he's also a big, dumb idiot at other times.

As the two of them entered the vehicle, the driver welcomed them fairly enthusiastically. The driver was a thirty-odd-year-old man. While starting the engine, he asked, “You're here for vacation, right? Let me tell you two something. There are a few places here that you must visit.

You'll regret it if you don't.” The man spoke in a Dellmoor accent.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, “You two should make a wish at the Crying Wall. Your wish will come true, you know. Since you two look like an unmarried couple, you two should go there and make a wish. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Sacred Temple mountain, the Serenity Monastery, the Bitter Road, the municipal government, and

the bookstores are all our specialties here!” He rattled on and on before turning to Jonathan. “Oh yeah, are you two married yet? You two don't look like you're married.” From the rear-view mirror, Jonathan was able to see the driver looking pretty excited.

Thus, he mercilessly shattered that excitement. “You're wrong. We're already married. Look, we even have our wedding rings.” He then showed the driver the wedding ring that he got when he married Catherine.

Red colored Lailah's cheeks as she sat at the side. Though embarrassed, she didn't say anything.

The driver laughed, thinking that Jonathan wasn't a good conversationalist.

“Where are you two going?” the former asked immediately.

Rubbing his nose, Jonathan answered, “I don't wanna go to the tourist spots that you mentioned!” “Then where do you want to go?” the driver asked in

confusion. “Aren't you two here on a trip?” “lI want to gamble. Is there a bigger, more exciting, and more proper casino?” “Do you have a loose screw in your head, mister? If you want to gamble, you should go to Livingsfill or Mysonna.

‘Why come to Yeringham to gamble?” Jonathan grumbled, “Is there or is there not a casino like that here?” Suddenly, the driver parked the car at the side of the road, turned his head back, and uttered in a serious tone, “Buddy, | think there's a problem with your way of thinking.” “I don't have any problems!” Outraged, the driver lectured, “How can you say that? Look at your wife. She's beautiful! Don't you know how lucky you are? You're in Yeringham, so you should bring your wife on a tour around the city and make a wish at the Crying Wall! Gambling is a deadly, insidious activity. It's all artificially manipulated behind the scenes. Do you think you can win against machines?”

Lailah really wanted to laugh, but she thought she would ruin the atmosphere if she did, so she covered her mouth, desperately not wanting to let that happen.

“Look, you're making your wife cry!” the driver said swiftly.

Her body was shaking from her attempt to stifle her laughter, making her look like she was crying.

Like h*ll she's crying! Jonathan cursed in his heart. With gritted teeth, he asked again, “Is there or is there not a casino like that?” The driver went silent for a while before speaking in a lamenting voice. “Why are you so stubborn, mister?” That made Jonathan want to cry. Godd*mn it, I'm just asking you if there's a casino like that here. Why did | have to come across a conscientious driver like him? In the end, he relented. “Fine, let's just go to the Crying Wall.” Only then did a bright smile appear on the driver's face.

“That's more like it!”

An hour later, they arrived at the Crying Wall.

Before Jonathan and Lailah left, the driver even waved at her. “No need to thank me, miss!” Despite the fact that she was a serious person, she couldn't help but snort and wave goodbye at the driver.

The sun was hanging high above the sky as it was already ten in the morning.

Jonathan and Lailah turned back and saw the old mighty castle wall in the distance. It was a wall covered in scars of history.

Countless people of different skin colors were kneeling in front of the ancient wall and praying with little hats on their heads.

Among those people were Yartranians and tourists who simply wanted to make a wish.

Tourists who visited the spot would follow the local customs.

‘While the wall looked ordinary, it was the world's famous

Crying Wall.

Why was it called the Crying Wall? There were many secrets and history hidden in the answer.

The Crying Wall was what was left of a Yartranian Sacred Temple that was rebuilt and destroyed twice. It was the spiritual home of the Yartranian people that had been displaced for two millennia. It was also the most sacred place in the hearts of Yartranians. The Yartranians believed that God was located above the wall, which was why Yartranians who visited the place had to wear a small hat. It was because they believed allowing their heads to face God directly was a sign of disrespect.

It was part of people's lives to pray at the Crying Wall, which was what was left of the famous Second Sacred Temple of Yartranians, located in an ancient city with three thousand years of history. Among those who prayed, there was a female soldier carrying a gun on her back and a Holy Book in her hand.

There was also an old Yartranian man with a beard that

was over thirty centimeters long praying devoutly.

The men who visited the wall had to wear a traditional hat.

If they didn't have a hat with them, there were paper hats they could take at the entrance. There were many worshippers wandering near the wall, touching the wall, reciting their religious text, or writing down a note of prayer before they shoved it into the gaps in the wall. After enduring all sorts of weather and numerous touches of pilgrims over the course of millennia, the stones of the Crying Wall glimmered faintly as though it was tearing up.

No matter who came to visit, they would be affected by the religious devotion of the worshippers there.

Jonathan muttered, “After the First Sacred Temple was destroyed, Yartranians rebuilt it. Hence, they called it Second Sacred Temple. However, even that was destroyed, and all that was left was this wall. The mission hint mentioned the Third Sacred Temple, but there is no Third Sacred Temple in history.” Glancing at the wall, Lailah commented, “It's not that

strange. If people had heard of it, then King Sergiu's treasures wouldn't have eluded so many people across millennia.” Rubbing his nose, he said, “So, we need to find something that people haven't found over the course of thousands of years in a month. Just saying that makes us look insane.

Gabriel and Lucio are mad, too. They should've considered that there's no way they can escape the punishment of failing the mission even if they take us out.” “Let's go. There's no reason for us to stay here.” “How about we make a wish? Since we're already here, we may as well join the fun.” Lailah shot a glance at Jonathan. “What kind of wish do you want to make? Are you going to wish that Gabriel would explode and die?” Teasingly, he said, “I want to wish that you can find a boyfriend soon.” In the beginning, he respected and feared Lailah. However, after spending lots of time with her, he became a lot bolder,

's0 much so that he had the guts to make fun of her.

Lailah was slightly stunned before she uttered coldly, “Whether | find a boyfriend has nothing to do with you.” A chuckle escaped Jonathan's mouth. “I'm just wondering what kind of man can be a match for you, Lailah. That image is so beautiful that | kind of don't want to imagine it.” She wasn't someone who could joke around with him, so she said faintly, “Let's focus on the task at hand.” Thus, he stopped joking around and turned to eye at the Crying Wall.

The Crying Wall hadn't been the Crying Wall it used to be for a long time. At the moment, it was a tourist spot.

Jonathan had been paying a lot of attention to King Sergiu, so he knew quite a lot about the wall.

He knew of the persecution and humiliation of Yartranians throughout the course of history. Their country was destroyed, their homes were razed to the ground, and they were forced to leave.

However, Yartranians did not assimilate into other cultures and managed to stay independent.

It must've looked like a miracle back then.

In the Yartranians' most vulnerable and loneliest moments, the Crying Wall was their spiritual support.

As Jonathan stared at the wall absentmindedly, an image surfaced in his mind. Nationality and beliefs! Maybe the Third Sacred Temple has something to do with this wall.

Once | have the time, | must look into potential connections between the two. Right now, we need to deal with Gabriel first.

Upon calling yet another taxi, Jonathan asked the driver if they knew Ustranasian, and the driver said yes.

Only then did Jonathan and Lailah enter the vehicle. Unlike last time, he cut straight to the chase. “I want to gamble with lots of money, and | want to do it at a very safe place.” The driver glanced at him. “Okay.” Then he drove to his customers’ destination.

Half an hour later, they arrived in a high-class residential area.

“The casino is located in the underground parking lot. You can enter if you have enough money,” the driver informed.

Jonathan and Lailah promptly exited the car.

The residential area was called Mylers Residences.

It looked like a forest park inside. The entire place was brimming with luxury and prestige.

Jonathan and Lailah headed to the guard post.

Inside the room were six Smealander security guards. All of them looked muscular and fierce. It would appear the place had pretty formidable security.

Before the duo could speak, a security guard approached them and shouted in their direction, “This isn't a place where anyone can enter, you pigs! Go away!” He spoke Ustranasian in an unfriendly tone and discriminated against their skin color.

Upon chuckling, Jonathan dashed forward.

All the security guard saw was darkness before Jonathan's fist smashed into his face.

Jonathan then grabbed the security guard's hair and slammed the latter on the doorpost. With a smile, the former said in Ustranasian, “Try calling me that again, you son of a b*tch.” When the other security guards saw what was happening, they immediately rushed toward Jonathan's location.

The moment the security guard Jonathan grabbed saw his ‘companions coming, he was emboldened to say, “Pig—" “Screw you!” Enraged, Jonathan lifted the guard up and slapped the latter's face.

The other security guards attacked immediately. They swung their electric batons in Jonathan's direction. Those people did not hold back and didn't care if Jonathan would live or die.

Upon dodging the attacks, Jonathan grabbed a security

guard's hand, turned it around, and stabbed the latter with the electric baton. The security guard passed out on the spot.

Then Jonathan knocked two more people down with a punch and a kick, respectively.

It basically turned into a brawl. Not long after, all of them were taken out by him.

“Try calling me that again, you b*stard,” Jonathan shouted at the security guard whose head was swollen after being beaten up.

Fear flashed past the security guard's eyes as he cowered backward.

“Kneel in front of me, sh*thead!” Jonathan yelled.
