I Am Unstoppable Chapter 16
Chapter 16
Chapter 16 Shameless
Cyclops was an external disciple of Strikezone Martial Arts. It was a martial arts center exceptionally famous in the countries located in the southeast. Edward Weiss was the leader and founder of Strikezone Martial Arts. According to rumors, his cultivation level was unmatched, and he was also a martial arts expert himself.
Not only that, but he had also combined the martial arts skills he had learned with his own theories about martial arts, which made him all the more terrifying.
Cyclops was now using a very powerful skill known as the Eagle’s Ironclaw.
At this moment, Cyclops was in a rage. He stomped on the ground viciously, causing cracks to spread out across the ground. His hands took the form of the eagle’s claw, and veins were seen popping out across the back of his hands, which was a horrifying sight to behold. After that, he took a step forward, showcasing the Cloud Supreme Strides of Strikezone Martial Arts. He stretched his feet outward, and strong friction was instantly caused between his feet and the ground.
All of a sudden, Cyclops appeared in front of Jonathan like a bolt of lightning, his Eagle’s Ironclaw aiming straight at Jonathan’s abdomen.
Cyclops was obviously aiming straight for Jonathan’s life. Although such performances might impress the amateur, they might not necessarily impress the expert.
Jonathan was skilled as well. He narrowed his eyes as he sized Cyclops up, already knowing that the latter was a highly skilled man. In a flash, Jonathan’s vision became dark as a strong gust of wind ensued. Feeling the tingling sensation spreading across his abdomen, he realized that he wouldn’t be able to dodge Cyclops’ attack.
His opponent was just too fast.
However, at that moment, Jonathan moved as well.
He used his own skill, the Antelope Rhythm.
The skill allowed him to move like an antelope, leaving no traces behind.
And his movements would be as free as an antelope dashing through the mountains.
Cyclops felt that he was grazing Jonathan’s clothes. However, just then, Jonathan moved his body sideways and avoided Cyclops’ Eagle’s Ironclaw.
Jonathan’s moves were incredibly clean and perfect.
In the eyes of Yasmin, Jane, and Jessica, Jonathan was like a master of movements as he avoided Cyclops’ attacks.
Jonathan instantly went over to Cyclops’ right side, preparing to perform a Waist-Snapping Twist. He swiftly moved his hands below Cyclops’ arms and grabbed hold of Cyclops’ waist.
This was one of his punching techniques, which resembled the motion of a farmer chopping off weeds with a sickle.
His body locked in place by Jonathan, Cyclops didn’t even have the chance to react before he felt an enormous force pushing him down. That force knocked all his strength out of him.
He was utterly stunned.
Jonathan smiled slyly. “Were you really planning to hit me? Looks like I’ll need to teach you the lesson your parents missed!” After that, he kicked his shoe into the air and grabbed hold of it, using it to smack Cyclops’ butt over and over again.
He smacked Cyclops more than a dozen times, and all his smacks were with brute force. Unable to take it, Cyclops screamed in agony at the top of his lungs.
This scene truly stunned the three women present.
Cyclops was basically the devil of Horington, and yet, he was now being smacked in the butt by a random security guard. It was beyond unbelievable. If word about that got out, Cyclops would surely lose all respect.
Jonathan finally tossed Cyclops aside after he finished hitting him.
Cyclops fell to the ground with tears and snot smearing his face. After struggling to stand up, he ran away without saying a word.
Jane watched in bafflement as Cyclops ran away.
Jonathan looked at her and chuckled. “What is it? Are you waiting for me to smack your butt, too?”
Jane screamed in terror, and her face turned pale as she instantly turned and ran away as well.
Now that everything was settled, Jonathan wore his shoe and turned to the two women who were still in a daze, Jessica and Yasmin. “Well, Ms. Smith, Ms. Theron, I’ll be taking my leave.” With that, he left.
In fact, Cyclops was indeed a highly-skilled martial arts expert and was in no way an easy opponent.
Jonathan may look like he had defeated Cyclops with ease, but he had only managed to accomplish it thanks to his high level of cultivation.
As he left the office, Jossie, Donald, and the others were waiting for him outside.
They were all gazing at him as if he was a monster. One of the security guards muttered, “You’re really something, Jonathan. I can’t believe you just smack the King of Guards’ butt with your shoe.”
Jonathan did not like to show off but chuckled lightly. “He was given the title of King of Guards only because he knows how to train. It doesn’t mean he’s good at fighting. I used to be in the military, so he’s just a piece of cake to me.”
Hearing that, the crowd came to a realization.
Jossie was looking at Jonathan in a different light. He must be the manliest, coolest guy on earth!
“All right, everyone, please leave.” Jonathan waved his hand as he spoke.
Donald and the others left obediently. It was a sign that all of them were now regarding him as a dignified figure.
After that, Jonathan left as well.
As for Donald, he felt quite dejected as he entered the security guards’ break room.
Seeing Donald’s expression, Jonathan punched the latter’s shoulder jokingly. “What are you thinking about, Donald? Are you afraid that I’ll take your position as the chief security officer? Don’t worry about that. You helped me today when I was late, so I would never snatch your position away.”
Donald was, in fact, worried about this very issue. When he heard Jonathan’s words, his spirit was immediately lifted as he smiled awkwardly. “You little rascal.”
All the other security guards had a good impression on Jonathan as well, and they chit-chatted together joyfully after that.
Half an hour later, Jessica arrived at the break room. Jonathan was chatting away with his fellow guards in the room, saying, “Those drug smugglers used to hide in the forest of Venria, and they were difficult to find. They even had better equipment compared to the military! I almost died in their hands, I swear.”
Everyone was paying full attention to his story until Jessica coughed, and they all whipped around to look at her.
Jessica was wearing a blue dress, and on her neck was a beautiful diamond necklace. Overall, the way she was dressed made her look exceedingly elegant.
She always maintained a stern demeanor when she was dealing with the security guards, acting the part of a leader.
That was why they always acted reservedly in front of her.
However, Jonathan smiled cheekily when he saw Jessica. “You look very pretty today, Ms. Theron! The moment you came in, our break room instantly brightened up!”
Jessica was initially planning to put on a stern face when she came here, but she almost cracked up when she heard Jonathan’s lame flattery. She actually hated Jonathan with a passion. After all, what he did yesterday was too much, but seeing his “performance” now changed the way she looked at him.
Jessica then took a deep breath, trying to hold back her laughter, saying, “Come with me. Ms. Smith would like to see you.”
“Oh, okay. I’m coming.” Jonathan went with her.
“Wow, Ms. Theron. That’s a beautiful bracelet. Real classy of you. Can I take a look?” Jonathan grabbed Jessica’s wrist while he walked beside her, acting as if he was really scrutinizing it.
As for Jessica, she just stood there, letting Jonathan “admire” her bracelet.
He touched her hand with the excuse of looking at her bracelet and was quite pleased to be able to take advantage of her like that.
“Have you seen what material it is made from yet?” Jessica asked coldly.
Jonathan let go of her hand unwillingly and replied, “It’s made from jade, isn’t it? It must be quite expensive! Only a bracelet like this could accentuate the elegance of such a beautiful woman like yourself, Jessy.”
He was really good with words and had subtly gotten closer to her by addressing her as “Jessy.”
“I bought this from the roadside stall for ten bucks,” Jessica replied tonelessly as she walked forward.
Jonathan froze on the spot at that. Oh, my god! That was embarrassing!
However, being a shameless man, he immediately hurried forward and caught up with Jessica again. In fact, Jessica was laughing internally at that moment. Somehow, she had an unusual feeling toward Jonathan.
As Jonathan came up to her, she immediately composed her expression, remaining calm.
“Jessy, I have a question that I’m truly curious about,” Jonathan started again.
“What is it?” she replied in a mild tone.
“Are your boobs real?”
Jessica was stunned at first, and then she became infuriated. “What the hell are you talking about? Of course, they are real!”
Jonathan wasn’t flustered at all as he replied, “Oh, I just thought you had pads to lift them up or something. So, they’re the real deal, huh?”
Hearing that made Jessica flush. Why am I even discussing this with him? I’ll just ignore him from now on.
They soon arrived at the CEO’s office.
Yasmin was flipping through the sales report on her desk, but it was obvious that she was thinking about something else.
Jessica closed the door when they entered and spoke up. “Ms. Smith, Jonathan is here.”
With that, Yasmin closed the file and got up, moving to the couch, and Jessica sat down next to her.
“Well, don’t be nervous, Jonathan. We’re—” Before Yasmin could even finish her sentence, Jonathan had already sat down on the couch and crossed his legs. Jonathan was never nervous.
Yasmin was utterly speechless when she saw that.
Why is he acting as if this is his office instead?
As for Jonathan, he became a tad embarrassed when he heard Yasmin cutting herself off mid- sentence. He then put down his leg and sat properly.
Yasmin smiled. “I never thought that you were so skilled in martial arts. I even almost fired you yesterday.”
With a chuckle, Jonathan replied, “Oh, it’s nothing. I’m only ranked the third globally.”
Yasmin and Jessica were slightly stunned and were, once again, speechless. My goodness, this chap really isn’t humble at all.
Yasmin spoke up again. “Why did you decide to work as a mere security guard when you have such skills?”
“Because of all the beauties here, of course!” Jonathan replied straightforwardly.
Yasmin and Jessica were beyond shocked when they heard that. What the hell? Does he have to be so honest?
Yasmin found it a little unbelievable. “That’s it?”
Confused, Jonathan replied, “Is that not enough?”
Yasmin sighed helplessly. “All right, then. What were you doing for a living before this?”
Yasmin was actually thinking of promoting Jonathan, but she was afraid that he might be a spy, so she needed to ask about his background first.
“Oh, I used to be in the military, but I retired from that.”
“From which troop?” Yasmin asked.
Jonathan was just trying to bullshit his way through, but he never thought that Yasmin would be so sharp as to ask a question like this, so he continued with his nonsense, “I served in the Salinsburgh military zone, specializing in guerilla warfare. My leader was Tyga Karlos.”
“Oh? That means you should receive a nice amount of veteran’s allowance, am I right? I’m guessing not many military men are as talented as you,” Yasmin asked. Jonathan countered, “I gave the one hundred and twenty thousand I received to the family of my dead comrades.”
Hearing that, both Yasmin and Jessica instantly looked at him in a different light, thinking that he was truly a loyal friend.
Jonathan only said what he said because he wanted to gain Yasmin’s trust. He could only offer her his close protection if they got closer.
Yasmin then pondered for a moment before she finally made her decision. “Well then, Jonathan, I now appoint you as chief security officer.”
Jonathan immediately rejected the offer. “No can do. Donald is my good mate. I’ll resign if you force me to become the chief.”
“Who’s Donald?” Yasmin asked, confused.
Jonathan was dumbfounded by that reply as he answered, “He’s the current chief!”
With that, both Yasmin and Jessica finally understood. Yasmin would never let Jonathan resign, so she immediately continued, “How about this? You can be my and Jessy’s private bodyguard and driver.” from now on
Jonathan was elated now that he had finally gotten what he wanted Nonetheless, he still asked the most important question, “I’m fine with that, but you need to raise my pay!”
Yasmin and Jessica giggled hearing that, and Yasmin replied, “We’ll pay you ten thousand per month. How about that?”
Jonathan immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, that would be great!”
“All right. You can get to work now, and you’ll be sending us back tonight,” Yasmin replied.
Jonathan finally got what he came here for and was truly happy about it. Thus, he left the office without a word.
At around five in the evening, both Jessica and Yasmin stepped out of Rose Couture, and Jonathan was called over as well.
Yasmin then passed the keys to Jonathan. “You have a driving license, don’t you?”
“Of course, I do.”
Yasmin’s car was a BMW 7 series, which cost around one million.
Jonathan first opened the door for the ladies and invited them into the car, and then he went to the driver’s seat.
His driving skills were smooth and swift as if he was driving a sports car. In Yasmin and Jessica’s eyes, he was truly a man with many talents.
The two ladies lived together in a mansion located in Maple Villa District.
After Jonathan sent them back, Yasmin said, “Take the car home. You’ll need to pick us up tomorrow morning at half past seven.”
Jonathan agreed to that and drove away.
The security facilities in Maple Villa District were not bad, and they even had surveillance cameras all over the area. Thus, Jonathan felt at ease, thinking that Yasmin should be safe here.
Jonathan drove straight home after leaving Maple Mansion. He was not especially impressed by the car, nor did he feel the urge to drive it elsewhere, as he had driven all sorts of cars before in the past.
However, on his way home, he received a call from Jennifer. She invited him to stop by her place for a meal as a token of appreciation.
Jonathan was elated when he heard that. What a great opportunity!
He agreed at once.
Half an hour later, just as the sky darkened, Jonathan arrived at Baykeep. The moment he arrived, he saw Harrison and the other guards.
“Wow! Way to go, Jon! You’re driving a BMW now and a seven series at that!” Harrison and the others surrounded him when he arrived with looks of admiration upon their faces.
“What are you talking about? That’s not mine. It’s my boss’. I’m just the driver.” Jonathan chuckled as he rolled down the window. He did not like to lie or boast about something like this.
“You get to drive your boss’ car? That’s still cool!” They were all still looking at him with admiration.
“All right, enough with this. Now, will you let me pass? I have a date today.”
“Haha! Well, I hope you get the woman of your dreams tonight, Jon!”
“I sure hope I do!” Jonathan replied shamelessly.
Once he parked the car, he rushed toward Jennifer’s place on the twenty-ninth floor.
When she opened the door, she was clad in an apron, and her hair was a tad messy. She looked like a beautiful cook who just walked out of the kitchen, and Jonathan’s heart fluttered seeing that.
If she was my wife, I’d never have divorced her!
As for Jennifer, her face turned red when she saw the way Jonathan was gazing at her, and her heartbeat began racing as well. She suddenly regretted inviting him over for a meal, but there was no turning back since she had already done it.
“Please, come in,” Jennifer said.
Jonathan smiled. “You’re cooking today, Jen? I hope it’s edible.”
Jennifer felt speechless at his remark. “I’ll make sure I poison you to death!”
“What? You want to kill your own husband?” Jonathan replied, and that earned him a glare from Jennifer.
Sometimes, she really didn’t know how to deal with Jonathan’s strange behavior and words. She planned on treating him with sincerity today, but now, she didn’t feel like doing that anymore.
“Go get yourself some drinks from the fridge if you’re thirsty. I’m going to continue cooking,” said Jennifer as she turned and left.
Jonathan had just come in through the front door and replied enthusiastically, “Let me help you.”
“There’s no need for that. It’ll be a big help to me if you would just wait in the living room.”
Well, if you insist. Jonathan was just being polite just now when he offered, so he merely smiled when she said that.
After around twenty minutes, Jennifer finally finished cooking and laid the food on the dining table.
The dishes all looked scrumptious, and there was even beer to go with the meal.
“Do you want beer or wine?” Jennifer asked as she sat down.
“Beer is fine, but you need to drink with me. There’s no point in drinking alone, right?”
“You’re not planning to take advantage of me when I’m drunk, are you?” Jennifer immediately asked as she looked at him suspiciously.
“Do I look like the kind of person who would do that?” Jonathan replied. He looked insulted, but in fact, it was exactly what he was thinking of doing.
Jennifer continued, “Well, whatever. You wouldn’t dare to anyway, but I’m only drinking a bottle, and that’s it.”
“Sure,” Jonathan replied swiftly.
With that, they started drinking.
Alcohol was a really great stress reliever.
Jennifer wasn’t feeling her best. She had her own demons to fight, especially today since she was hurt quite badly by her ex-husband. She felt like an utter failure.
That was why as soon as she downed one bottle of beer, her face instantly became flushed. Jonathan didn’t want her to continue drinking after seeing her like this. “Jennifer, I think you should stop drinking.”
“Who said I can’t drink? I’m going to continue drinking,” Jennifer replied.
“Why are you being so difficult? You were the one who said you didn’t want to drink, and yet now I can’t stop you from drinking even if I tried to. Aren’t you afraid that I’d take advantage of you once you get drunk?”
“What do you know? You don’t know anything at all.” With that, she took gulped down another glass of beer. After that, she pointed her finger at Jonathan and continued, “I know I look fine and pretty most of the time, but I’m actually just an idiot.”
Jonathan finally knew what was going on. Jennifer was trying to let go of herself through drinking. It was obvious that she was having too many thoughts in her mind. However, Jonathan was only confused regarding one thing. Why would she point at me and call herself an idiot? She’s so weird sometimes.
After that, Jennifer was about to drink again, but Jonathan stopped her by grabbing her hand. “All right. Let’s stop here for now.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
However, she pushed his hand away and downed the entire bottle of beer. Jennifer was drunk as she said, “Ever since I was a little girl, I was pretty, and I had good grades, too. I was always the school belle from kindergarten to university. I’d always thought that I was a princess since my parents loved me so much, but I was stubborn. I just wanted to marry him then. My parents didn’t approve of our marriage, but I didn’t care and got married anyway. Now, look at me. This is karma, I tell you. Karma!”
