I Am Unstoppable Chapter 107


    Chapter 107 Fighting Your Own Demons


    Yasmin’s mansion had a balcony which also served as an observation deck. It offered a panoramic


    view from the balcony. On top of that, she had specially built a swimming pool there.


    At that moment, the bright morning sunlight shone into the swimming pool. The pool glittered with the


    sun rays shining in.


    Jonathan and Yasmin were seated on the lounge chairs under a parasol.


    With a tormented expression, Yasmin asked, “Is Connor really gone?”


    Jonathan nodded grimly and replied, “Yes, he’s gone.”

    Instantly, tears welled up in Yasmin’s eyes. She asked again, “When did it happen?”


    Jonathan answered, “About half a year ago.”


    Yasmin tried hard to stop her tears from falling. After a while of silence, she uttered, “What has Connor


    been doing out there for so many years? Why did he perish? How did you guys know each other?”


    After taking a deep breath, Jonathan replied, “Back then, Connor was on the run after taking the life of


    someone for his uncle. With the help of his uncle, Connor escaped to a small country in Smend


    called Quesdia. Initially, Connor worked for a general in Quesdia. Unfortunately, that general was


    defeated by rebel enemies in the end. After the attack, that general died. With no other choice, Connor


    joined other mercenaries. At that time, I joined the same mercenary team and met him. At first, Connor


    was the weakest mercenary soldier on the team. As a result, the other teammates often bullied him. I


    took pity on him and helped him whenever I could. Eventually, I also taught him skills and


    marksmanship. From there, we became as close as brothers.”


    After a pause, Jonathan continued, “After some time, that mercenary team was wary of me for my


    outstanding performance. The leader of the mercenary team even nned on assassinating me as he


    wanted me out of his way. After Connor got to know his n, he warned me about it. That night,


    Connor and I fled from that mercenary team. After our escape, we bit the bullet and set up our own


    mercenary team instead. We called our team Red Wolves. I was Alpha Wolf, the leader of the Red


    Wolves. Connor was my second-inmand, Beta Wolf. After three years, we became the top


    mercenary team in Smend.”


    Jonathan added, “Unfortunately, Connor perished in a mission half a year ago. I knew he was most


    worried about you when he was alive. Hence, I disbanded Red Wolves and returned to Horington to


    take care of you.”


    After Yasmin heard Jonathan’s words, her eyes were filled with tears. Next, she asked, “Where is


    Connor buried now?”


    In a low voice, Jonathan replied, “I buried him in the woods, back in Smend.”


    With a sorrowful tone, Yasmin probed, “Can you bring me there? I wish to pay my respects to Connor.”


    Jonathan nodded and replied, “Of course. We can set off anytime. Just let me know when you are


    ready.”


    Yasmin answered, “I’ve been tied up at worktely, so I can’t leave yet. I will have some time about one


    monthter.”


    “All right. I will wait for you.”


    Yasmin gazed deeply at Jonathan and said, “No matter what, I have to thank you.”


    Jonathan looked guilty and replied, “Please don’t say that. I failed to take care of Connor. It’s my fault.”


    Yasmin responded, “I’m sure Connor never regretted following a brotherly friend like you.”


    After Jonathan heard that, he fell silent for some time. He reminisced the good old days with Connor.


    Thetter was like a brother to him. Together, they drank and flirted with thedies at bars. On their


    missions, they braved countless crossfires together. At nightfall, the duo slept on mud swamps and


    chatted about anything in life. Hence, their friendship was ride-or-die.


    However, Connor was now deceased, leaving Jonathan behind.


    When Jonathan thought about it, he was guilt-ridden and sorrowful. Suddenly, Jonathan uttered,


    “Yasmin, I am sorry. Actually, I lied to you. Connor did not perish in a mission.”


    At that moment, Yasmin was stunned.


    Jonathan was a thoughtful person who had intricate emotions. On the one hand, he did not wish to let


    Yasmin know about Connor’s blemished past. On the other hand, he did not want to lie to Yasmin.


    Even more so, he did not wish to evade the truth. The truth was—Jonathan was indirectly rted to


    Connor’s death.


    “What actually happened?” asked Yasmin anxiously, with a changed expression.


    With a painful look in his eyes, Jonathan exined, “About half a year ago, we received a mission. We


    were supposed to bomb a bridge for the Corleon rebels. However, the enemy organization got to know


    about it beforehand. In turn, they sent a female spy over who seduced Connor. Unfortunately, Connor


    exposed our location out of carelessness. As a result, eight of our men died during the mission. Finally,


    Connor and I escaped after a fierce fight. At that time, we were infuriated after deducing there must be


    a spy among us. In the end, Connor stepped up and apologized. He admitted his grave mistake to me


    and ounted for the truth.”


    When Yasmin heard that, her body shook violently. She asked, “Did Connor die in your hands in the


    end?”


    In response, Jonathan shook his head. He exined, “I did not take his life. However, I was


    disheartened at that time. After that, I decided to disband Red Wolves. Even so, I did not tell Connor


    about it. Instead, I told him to leave Red Wolves on his own ord. In the future, we will have nothing


    to do with each other anymore. However, I did not expect him to have such strong pride. When I looked


    away, his gun misfired. He was shot in the head with a bullet. Before he sumbed to his injury, he


    told me he would always be a part of Red Wolves. Even in the afterworld…”


    At that point, Jonathan was tormented by self-reproach. He said, “Yasmin, I am sorry. Connor and I set


    up Red Wolves together. I should have considered his feelings when I wanted to disband the team. If I


    spared more thought for his feelings, he would have been able to rest in peace.”


    After Yasmin heard that, she heaved a long sigh of relief. She was deeply scared that Jonathan was


    the one who ended Connor’s life. If that had happened, she could never forgive Jonathan. Hence, she


    was thankful that was not the case.


    Yasmin did not me Jonathan for Connor’s death. Instead, she said, “Please don’t me yourself.


    You wanted to disband the team out of frustration at that time. Hence, you were not in the right frame of


    mind. As for Connor’s death, it was simply unfortunate. I hope he is at peace in heaven. I’m sure he will


    not regret having you as a buddy.”


    After hearing Yasmin’s words, Jonathan felt slightly better.


    The duo kept quiet for a while. Together, they observed a moment of silence for Connor.


    Shortly after, Yasmin seemed to recall something. She asked Jonathan, “Do the people from


    Strikezone Martial Arts still bother you?”


    Jonathan shook his head and replied, “No. This time, Amber’s Grandpa has warned them. No matter


    what, those guys have to respect him.”


    Yasmin knew Amber had a powerful background. Hence, she was relieved to hear that from Jonathan.


    On that day, Yasmin insisted on going back to work. Although Jonathan was worried about her, he


    noticed she looked normal. Thus, he did notment any further. Out of no choice, Jonathan asked


    Jessica for a favor. He told her to take good care of Yasmin.


    Although Jessica did not fully understand what went on, she could tell that Yasmin was feeling a bit off.


    Jessica responded, “Don’t worry, Yasmin and I are best friends. I will look after her.”


    After that, Jonathan nodded in acknowledgement.


    That night, Jonathan and Jessica became much somber instantly. The duo was no longer at


    loggerheads like before.


    As a matter of fact, Jessica’s heart was in turmoil that night. She had heard about Jonathan’s crisis


    from Yasmin. Next, Yasmin looked lost and confused when she said Jonathan was dead. At that time,


    Jessica’s heart was overwhelmed with suffocating pain. There was a sense of unspeakable sorrow


    looming in her heart.


    In the end, Jonathan turned out to be alive. It was as if she had been through a rollercoaster ride of


    emotions.


    Together with Yasmin, Jessica felt like they had put Jonathan in danger. After all, Jonathan incurred the


    wrath of Strikezone Martial Arts for them. As Jessica thought about that, she felt even more troubled.


    Without a doubt, Jessica’s feelings for Jonathan were unique.


    At midday, Jonathan went to the coffee house.


    Polly was at the coffee house break room with him. Together, they sat on the floor across from each


    other, with their legs folded.


    “After going through a near-death experience, do you have any words to say?” asked Polly with a slight


    smile.


    With a bitter smile, Jonathan replied, “I was on the verge of death twice yesterday. First, we were


    helpless in front of that person. That was because weck the experience, too. Next, I exchanged a


    few blows with him. Even though I lost in the end, I discovered a crucial point.”


    Polly answered, “Oh, what is that?”


    Jonathan replied, “With my fighting experience, I am fearless even in the face of weapons. However, I


    was intimidated by that person’s aura when I dueled with him yesterday. I found myself giving way to


    his punches when I was fighting him. The more I evaded his moves, the quicker I was losing.”


    Polly replied, “That’s right. I noticed that too.”


    Jonathan added, “In the end, I overcame my fear. I’ve realized that even though the person was


    powerful, he was still a human being after all. Hence, I was able to fight with him for a while.”


    Polly remarked, “We have to fight our own demons. Humans are controlled by their desires and


    emotions. That is how faith can sumb to attacks by evil forces. The most powerful thing that person


    can do is to lure your inner demon out. When you say you’ve ovee your fear, I’d say it’s because


    you overcame your own demons instead.” After a pause, Polly continued, “I learned somethingst


    night as well. After you left, I suddenly realized something.”


    Looking slightly surprised, Jonathan asked, “ Oh, what did you realize?”


    Polly said, “People maye and go in life. Nothing remains the same forever. The surrounding


    people, like my friends, will alle to a demise one day from the tribtions of life. That includes you;


    you will be gone too. This is the natural cycle of life. I y the role of a neutral observer. As I observe


    the people around me, I am also rediscovering myself. When I feel Amber’s sadness and experience


    the rest of the emotions, I feel I am nothing but a passerby in their lives.”


    Jonathan was astonished for a moment when he heard Polly’s words. He replied, “I’m not sure if that is


    a good sign, Polly. Are you thinking about spending your life religiously as a nun from now?”


    Polly replied, “I will go with the flow of life. To live my life infinitely, I must detach myself from the burden


    of human emotions. That is the way of enlightenment I seek.”


    Jonathan did not utter a word any further as he resonated with Polly’s words. Both of them had to figure


    out the road ahead. Thus, Jonathan could not say that Polly was wrong. Likewise, it was the same for


    her.


    As Jonathan and Polly continued chatting, Donovan came in from outside.


    “Jonathan, Ms. Sheene is here. She is looking for you,” informed Donovan.


    Jonathan was slightly taken aback when he heard that. He stood up and replied, “All right, I will meet


    her now.”


    As Jonathan was about to step out, Polly suddenly called out to him. She said, “Jonathan, wait a


    minute.”


    Thetter was caught in a daze. He turned around and looked at the woman. “What is it, Polly?”


    “If you really like Jennifer, then don’t suppress the emotions in your heart. If you don’t want to get


    married, then don’t do it. However, if you truly like Jennifer, then marry her. I’d advise you to go with


    your heart. Let your heart lead the way. When that happens, you may embark on a path that is truly


    meant for you.”


    Jonathan broke into a bittersweet smile. He said, “If I wish to be with Jennifer but not marry her, she will


    be unhappy. When she is sad, I will be miserable too. However, if I marry her, I will be the one who is


    unhappy in the end.”


    Polly reminded Jonathan, “As long as you leave this mess unsorted, you will never be able to ascend


    into the Nascent Soul stage.”
