Chapter 149


    Bianca kept quiet. She understood what Logan meant. To her, nothing else mattered as long as she


    killed Jonathan. However, Logan could not do that.

    National power was always terrifying. Even people like Logan and Jeremy dared not defy thew and


    go against their nation.


    Things would be fine if Logan and Bianca sneaked into Mabel''s house, killed an insignificant Jonathan,


    and left silently. They would not get themselves into trouble. Moreover, they had the Young family to


    back them up.


    Plus, Mabel could not use them as there was no evidence. However, killing Jonathan in front of


    Mabel was an entirely different story. It would be an act of provocation toward the government.


    In addition, there was another important point. Logan was unsure whether he was Mabel''s match. Had


    he killed Jonathan earlier, he might not have been able to escape in one piece.


    Revenge was the only thing that Bianca cared about.


    Leonardo had always loved her, and she felt the same way about him. There were too many regrets


    between the couple. Bianca never imagined that she woulde across Leonardo''s corpse.


    Her whole world crumbled at that very moment.


    Avenging Leonardo''s death by killing Jonathan was the only thing that kept Bianca going.


    Undoubtedly, Mabel was an intelligent woman. She analyzed Bianca''s personality through the intel she


    gathered, and she learned that thetter would lose control of her emotions once she found out


    Leonardo was dead.


    If Bianca could turn back time, she would definitely ignore the taboos of society and marry Leonardo.


    Bianca was thirty-six, whereas Leonardo was thirty. However, their love blossomed when the man was


    very young.


    Leonardo was a talented and cheerful young man at the time. Back then, Bianca was very young, too.


    She was the only one Leonardo loved, and Bianca loved him, too.


    As a talented and courageous fighter, Leonardo had had many young women fawning over him. Yet, he


    was never interested in other women.


    For years, they kept their rtionship a secret and loved each other passionately.


    Sadly, Leonardo was already dead.


    Bianca''s life waspletely devoid of meaning, and she did not want to carry on living anymore. Apart


    from feeling regret over the things she did not do with Leonardo, she also harbored hatred for the


    world.


    Bianca felt only pain and sorrow. She would not find peace unless she took the lives of everyone


    around her.


    Those who did not understand love would never understand that sort of pain.


    Jonathan spent half an hour bathing himself. Meanwhile, Mabel ordered an agent from the sixth


    division to send some clothes. Then, she ced the clothes outside the bathroom.


    They consisted of a set of sportswear, a jacket, and a set of thermal underwear. The outfit fitted


    Jonathan''s body. He felt more refreshed after the bath.


    Mabel sprayed half a bottle of air freshener in the living room. As soon as Jonathan entered the room,


    he sneezed. He remarked, “D*mn, Mabel! Don''t be ridiculous. Was I that smelly?”


    Mabel was sitting on the couch and watching television. She replied firmly, “You were smellier than you


    think. Did you jump into a huge pile of sh*t? You''d better discard those clothes of yours.”


    A frustrated Jonathan muttered, “It''s almost the same. You don''t know how dangerous it was today. I''m


    very lucky to still be here and speaking to you.”


    Mabel smiled and said, “You should say you''re thankful to me for saving your life.” She paused, then


    added, “You rascal, count the number of times I saved you!”


    Jonathan chuckled. He knew Mabel was equivalent to his savior in life.


    After that, Mabel urged him to throw his dirty clothes away. Jonathan found them smelly, too, so he


    discarded them.


    Once that was done, he washed his hands twice.


    Finally, Jonathan sat down on the armchair to the left of Mabel. He grabbed a few pieces of chocte


    from the coffee table and ate them.


    Mabel was thinking about something, so she ignored him. When she noticed Jonathan swallowing the


    chocte pieces, she said hastily, “Don''t...”


    With a grimace, Jonathan spat the chocte into the trashcan. He felt awful and asked, “When did you


    buy these chocte pieces? Why do they taste so funny?”


    Mabel answered sheepishly, “I bought themst summer. I seldom live here, and I forgot to throw them


    away.”


    Jonathan rinsed his mouth immediately. He was confounded by the woman''sziness. She doesn''t


    know how to enjoy life!


    Hungry, he asked, “Is there something to eat here?”


    Mabel replied, “I think there''s some spaghetti in the kitchen, but they were also purchasedst year if


    I''m not mistaken. See if they are still edible?”


    Jonathan was annoyed and sat down. “I think I''d better eat something else. The food here has already


    been around for ages. This isn''t the way to enjoy life!”


    Mabel burst intoughter and said, “It would be strange if I know how to enjoy life.”


    Jonathan was stunned. After a few seconds, he had to agree with what she said. Following that, they


    got down to business. He asked, “Why didn''t you kill that white-haired guy and Bianca? We''ll have less


    trouble once Bianca''s dead.”


    Mabel rolled her eyes and exined, “It isn''t as simple as you think. The two are disciples of Jeremy,


    and Bianca has strong ties with the Young family. This family is pretty influential in Yaleview. Logically


    speaking, it would be very unreasonable of me if I kill them under such circumstances. After all, you


    didn''t die, and they merely dropped by my house. Killing Lucian is easy because he doesn''t have ties to


    any influential figures. Although his grandfather, Peacock King, is a powerful cultivator, I''m not afraid of


    him. Jeremy is no ordinary man, either, but I''m also not afraid of him. The Young family is what I''m truly


    afraid of.” She paused, then continued, “Of course, it would be apletely different story if they killed


    you in my house today. Whoever kills someone right in front of me has to be prepared for the


    consequences, including Jeremy.”


    Jonathan was in awe andmented, “Bad*ss!” A momentter, he added, “What if Divine Emperor


    kills someone in front of you?”


    Mabel was at a loss for words. Then, she said, “Do you want to get pped?”


    Jonathan sniggered and asked, “Will I bring trouble upon myself if I kill Bianca? It sounds like the


    Young family is very powerful.”


    Mabel replied, “If you don''t join Divine Realm, and you kill Bianca, you''ll certainly be in big trouble.


    Firstly, Jeremy won''t let you off the hook. Secondly, the Young family wille after you. Although


    Leonardo is already dead, he died in the ring. Thus, the Young family dare not create any trouble. After


    all, Old Mr. Johnson and I are involved, and we can still hold them back. There''s something else you


    don''t know. If Old Mr. Johnson and I didn''t defuse the situation, you would have been captured by the


    Young family.”


    Jonathan sucked in a deep breath. Sh*t! I now feel like a weak, little rabbit!


    “If I join Divine Realm, will I be safe after killing Bianca?” he asked. After a brief pause, he continued,


    “Does Divine Realm have this sort of authority? Isn''t it afraid of the government? When the timees,


    will the Young family look for me?”


    Mabel said, “You fool! Firstly, when you join Divine Realm, you''ll be protected by the organization.


    Secondly, you have me and Old Mr. Johnson to protect you. Thirdly, you aren''t going to kill Bianca in


    front of the Young family, are you? At any rate, when the timees, the Young family can''t do


    anything if you keep denying it.”


    The light dawned upon Jonathan. He gave Mabel a thumbs up and cried, “Amazing!” After that, he


    cocked his head and said, “However, don''t you represent the government, righteousness, and justice?


    Why are you teaching me crooked and sinister tactics?”


    Mabel replied, “Are you trying to be funny? I''m not the court. Extreme organizations resort to extreme


    methods. I only care about the result over here. The process isn''t important.”


    Jonathan was just trying to make a joke. After that, he became serious. “Right, when the white-haired


    guy hit me earlier, he seemed to have suffused my body with his Force. It has suppressed the flow of


    my vitality. Are you able to help me?”


    Mabel exined, “The white-haired guy is Logan Xander, and he''s Bianca''s senior. He has already


    reached the final stage of Nascent Soul in his cultivation. Moreover, at his Force level, he''s able to


    transform vigor into spirit. You won''t be able to break down the vigor once it has entered your body.”


    Jonathan was astonished. “Don''t you mean transforming spirit into vigor?”


    Mabel exined, “The first step is to transform spirit into vigor. Everything boils down to a single origin.


    When Logan transforms vigor into spirit, it belongs to the spiritual imprint in his body. You won''t be able


    to refine your spiritual imprint when this sort of spirit is inside you, and it will affect your cultivation. This


    is deep stuff, and you''ll soone to understand it.” Then, the woman added, “Simply put, it''s just like


    adding a chromosome to pure water. If you don''t remove the chromosome, the water will never be


    pure.”


    Jonathan groaned silently. He asked, “What should I do now? I feel that my cultivation has deteriorated.


    I just can''t break down this vigor.”


    Mabel said, “Come here, and I''ll help you.”


    Jonathan was delighted and approached her.


    “Squat down.” Mabel was sitting still.


    Jonathan squatted down obediently, and he did so in an amusing manner.


    Mabelughed and spoke. “It''s rare to see you behaving obediently. I wonder whether I should help


    you break down the vigor so soon.”


    An earnest Jonathan smiled sheepishly. “I''ll always be obedient.” Mabel was not someone who often


    cracked jokes. Thus, she went back to being serious and gave his shoulders a pat.


    Soon, a tender force surged within Jonathan''s body. In a matter of seconds, the vigor belonging to


    Logan was broken down, and it vanished without a trace.


    Whoosh!


    Jonathan felt revitalized. His force field had returned, and his cultivation level was restored to Nascent


    Soul. Furthermore, his vitality was no longer obstructed.


    Jonathan''s admiration toward Mabel grew, and he respected her greatly. He could not help but ask,


    “What''s your current cultivation level?”


    Mabel grinned. “Haven''t you guessed?”


    Jonathan was frustrated and said, “What''s the point of guessing? Last time, you said I could guess it. I


    thought you were at Nascent Soul. However, based on what happened today, you must have reached


    at least Celestial Soul in your cultivation. After all, Logan''s cultivation level is at the final stage of


    Nascent Soul, but he behaved like a meek, littlemb in front of you!”
