I Am Unstoppable Chapter 25
Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Sharp Words
Jonathan got a call from Jennifer the next day. She said through the phone, “I want to go to your match today.” Jonathan was slightly stunned after hearing that. He then asked her, “It will not end up well. Plus, someone might even die. Are you sure you want to watch?”
Jennifer’s heart shuddered a little. She quickly replied, “I’m coming to find you now. Wait for me.”
Her words thoroughly stunned Jonathan. However, Jennifer had already hung up the call.
It did not take Jennifer long before she reached him though. She looked beautiful in her beige-colored blazer and a matching skirt. On the other hand, Jonathan was ready too. He was in a white coat that day, just like a martial master in a movie. His coat had buttons as well.
Jennifer asked confusedly, “Why are you wearing this today?”
Jonathan smiled and replied, “This type of clothing is light and convenient. Besides, it will be easy to exert strength with it. A light flick of my coat, and it can cause damage!” As he spoke, Jonathan gave his coat a powerful flick. It caused a loud thud that resounded through the air.
It sounded like a whip against a millstone.
Jennifer could imagine how painful it would be against someone’s skin. With a dumbstruck expression, she asked Jonathan, “How did you train your martial arts skills? Don’t tell me you are worse than the martial artists in shows and novels.”
Jonathan let out a faint smile. “Once you’ve grasped the art, you’ll realize that the true meaning of martial arts is infinite. Firstly, you have to understand the true meaning of training. The true meaning is to make the ends of your hair stand, close off, and concentrate on your vitality! Once the hair on your body is stimulated, it will stand straight. It’ll be best if every single hair follicle is able to rise. Look at my
hair right now. They will rise at my command. They just need specific feelings like chills down your spine and the feeling of goosebumps.”
After he said that, Jennifer saw his hair follicles rise immediately.
Jonathan continued, “This is the first step. Raise the hair follicles and close off your pores. With this, you will not sweat no matter how intense you are moving. Because once you start sweating, you lose vitality.”
Suddenly, Jennifer felt the profoundness of everything. Nonetheless, she would never want to learn martial arts. Thus, Jonathan did not continue with his explanation. The two of them tidied things up before heading out together.
Just as they left the house, a Porsche appeared in front of them. It came to an abrupt stop and billowed grey smoke all over.
The car door then swung open. Polly’s subordinate, Donovan, proceeded to get out of the car.
Donovan was serious and acted like an old fogey. He was gentle but still intimidating.
When Jennifer noticed Donovan’s aura, she couldn’t help but feel a little panicked and scared.
“He’s a friend.” Jonathan sensed Jennifer’s nervousness and squeezed her hand in assurance.
Upon hearing his words, Jennifer then relaxed.
Immediately after, she saw another scene than stunned her.
Donovan came up to Jonathan and greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Lawson, Ms. McDaniels asked me to pick you up.”
Jonathan smiled at Donovan lightly before responding, “Ms. McDaniels is too kind.”
Donovan chuckled and replied, “Mr. Lawson, Ms. McDaniels did say clothes make the man. We need to have a domineering presence. Otherwise, we would definitely be looked down on.”
Jonathan knew that Polly was genuinely worried for him. Therefore, he did not reject the offer. After agreeing, Jonathan held onto Jennifer’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Jennifer blushed when she felt Jonathan take her hand. She originally wanted to pull away but was reluctant to do it. I feel so conflicted.
On the other hand, Jonathan did not hesitate. With Jennifer’s hand in his, he brought her over to the Porsche.
Donovan also got into the car but in the driver’s seat.
After the engine started, Jonathan let go of Jennifer’s hand reluctantly. Her hand felt so soft…
Jennifer felt a strange feeling in her heart. Plus, Jonathan was more different than usual today. He gave off an aura of elegance and sturdiness. Jonathan was actively changing Jennifer’s impression of him and making her heart beat faster.
After the ride, Polly was waiting for Jonathan at the coffee house.
In front of the coffee house were six luxury cars. They were all Jaguars.
The car body of a Jaguar had a smooth and streamlined silhouette. The paint job looked really distinguished as well.
It was quite an astonishing scene.
Additionally, there was one well-built man dressed in black assigned to every single Jaguar. They all had fierce and intimidating auras.
As she looked at the scene, Jennifer could not help but feel intimidated again. Fortunately, Jonathan seemed to have sensed it and held her hand once more. His touch made her feel at ease.
At the same time, Jennifer could feel her heart sinking.
She had thought that it was going to be a small-scale battle. However, when she saw the current situation, Jennifer knew that it was not a trivial matter. She could not help but feel worried for Jonathan. Jennifer then turned her head and looked at Jonathan.
Yet, the man seemed relatively relaxed. He brought Jennifer over to Polly after they got out of the car. He grinned and said, “Polly, this feels like a mafia.”
Polly was dressed in black sturdy clothing. With that outfit, she looked valiant and charismatic. Along with her domineering aura, Polly was definitely attracting a lot of attention. The way she carried herself demanded it too.
Polly chuckled softly before shifting her attention to Jennifer. She asked, “Are you not introducing this lady to me?”
Jonathan smiled and did exactly that. “This is my friend, Jennifer Hoffman.”
The said woman pulled her hand away from Jonathan’s in embarrassment. Jennifer then nodded at Polly and greeted, “Hello. Nice to meet you!”
Polly stretched her hand out for a handshake. “Ms. Hoffman, nice to meet you too.”
Both parties shook hands and parted.
Polly then spoke to Jonathan. “This time, a few grandmasters have come. Randy’s side seems impressive. If you appeared shabby, I don’t think they would listen to what you have to say. It would be impossible for you to settle the matter you have with that disciple of Strikezone Martial Arts that way.”
Jonathan understood that too. Words meant nothing when one was lower in status. If Jonathan really wanted to eliminate all possibility of things going wrong before the fight, he needed enough power and influence on his side as well.
As for that, Polly had indeed thought about it in detail.
Jonathan cupped his fist with his other hand and said solemnly to Polly, “Thanks a lot.”
Polly merely replied, “Let’s get in the car.”
The group of them got in the car, one after another.
Jennifer and Jonathan were in the same car while Polly sat in another one alone.
Shortly after, the cars began to move.
Jennifer and Jonathan’s driver was another well-built man in black. He seemed calm and did not speak at all.
On the other hand, Jennifer was a little nervous. She managed to exchange glances with Jonathan.
Jennifer asked him, “You will be fine, right?”
Jonathan smiled at her and replied, “Yes. I’ll be all right.”
Upon hearing those words, Jennifer was able to calm down a little.
Jonathan then spoke suddenly. “However, Jennifer… I heard that a woman’s kiss could bring good luck to a man. We are friends, right? Why not wish me all the best and give me some good luck?”
Jennifer’s face instantly flushed beet red. I am too shy to do that…
The driver had a strange expression after hearing those words as well. This guy… Even at a critical time like this, he’s still able to flirt around?
Jonathan sighed a little before comforting himself jokingly, “Never mind. I will just wish myself luck. I’m on my own anyway.”
Jennifer averted her gaze and looked toward the other side as she stayed silent.
Immediately, Jonathan thought that his joke had gone too far this time. He added urgently, “I was just kidding. Don’t be angry at me!”
Jennifer replied coquettishly, “You can’t joke around like that.”
Jade Fencing Club was closed that day and did not allow any customers or members to enter.
Randy and his team arrived first. They went into the club and rested inside.
When Jonathan and the rest reached the club, it caused a slight stir.
Naturally, Jessica, Yasmin, and Landon had arrived as well. The three of them were waiting for Jonathan outside the whole time.
As they watched the luxury cars pull up and Jonathan got out of the car with Jennifer, their faces contorted into a slightly strange expression.
“Jonathan!” Yasmin and Jessica were the first to welcome him.
The two women wore beautiful dresses that revealed their delicate collarbones.
Yasmin had called out Jonathan’s name, but she did not know what to say suddenly.
Jessica said, “Jonathan! If you win today, I will compensate you and apologize.”
These few days were tormenting for her as well.
Jonathan chuckled lightly at that. “Let’s just wait and see.”
Jennifer proceeded to greet Yasmin and Jessica in a soft voice.
Just then, Landon exclaimed coldly, “You better not pull any tricks. My family in Fairlake won’t let you off if you do!”
Jonathan froze at his words.
He thought that Landon would be grateful toward him. Why does it seem like he hates me to the core?
Jonathan was unhappy at Landon’s sudden attack. He scoffed, “If I remember correctly, you were being choked by Randy just three days ago. If I didn’t step up to save you, you would’ve been dead. Anyone should know how to be grateful when someone saves them. So, who do you think you are to say that to me?”
“You…” After being reprimanded by Jonathan, Landon was furious.
Jonathan chuckled and asked, “What’s wrong? You want to fight me?” The smirk on Jonathan’s face was rather chilling.
Landon was tempted. His heart trembled, but he still did not have the guts to do it.
“Let me tell you something. People usually humiliate themselves, which gives others an open opportunity to do the same.” Jonathan continued, “You don’t even know one of the most basic principles? It seems like you wasted your life.” After saying that, Jonathan felt satisfied and entered Jade Fencing Club.
Polly was smiling before she went in to the club as well.
As for Jennifer, it felt like this was the first time she met Jonathan. She always thought that Jonathan was a bright and cheerful person. She really did not expect him to have a moment where he was this sharp with his words.
Yasmin did not even glance at Landon before she entered the club.
Even Jessica was standing far from Landon. As Jonathan had saved Landon the other day, the latter’s behavior from earlier was rather repulsive.
In an instant, Landon was left standing in his spot alone. This is humiliating.
Landon’s gaze was filled with hatred. He gritted his teeth before going into Jade Fencing Club. He wanted to watch Jonathan get beaten up badly before exposing the man’s motives.
The person in charge of Jade Fencing Club then welcomed Jonathan and the rest as they entered.
His name was Joshua Lange. He was dressed formally in a suit and emitted a strict aura. When he noticed Polly, Joshua was a little shocked before he smiled. “I never expected Ms. McDaniels to be here as well.”
Polly smiled back at him and replied, “They are all here already?”
Joshua responded quickly, “Yes, they are. Mr. Randy, King of Guards Cyclops, and Ms. Young are here. Along with them are Mr. Edric Barrett, Mr. Rowan Fisher, and Mr. Henry Rhodes. They are in the other room, just resting and chatting. Ms. McDaniels, would you like to see them now?”
“There is no need for that.” Polly continued, “We will get to meet later anyways. Please arrange a place for us to take a break as well.”
“Sure thing, Ms. McDaniels,” replied Joshua.
He arranged an extremely spacious VIP room for them to rest in. After they settled down, Joshua also had attendants bring in some tea and desserts.
Shortly after, Joshua left them alone.
Jonathan was grateful for Polly. Today would have ended up being extremely different if it was not for Polly. Joshua would have treated us differently as well. It would have been so awkward if that happened.
Even though these things did not bother Jonathan on a daily basis, he would still care about his image when he was with Jennifer, Yasmin, and the rest.
