Chapter 164


    “Yes, you''re right!” Jonathan could not hide his identity, and he could never deny it because he had


    always been a prideful man.


    Jeremy nodded when he heard Jonathan. A grim look shed across his eyes, and he said


    forbiddingly, “Prepare to die!” And with that, he dashed toward Jonathan.


    Jeremy had achieved Celestial Soul. The moment he moved, Jonathan could feel the air around him


    condensing into a ripple of fluid.


    His surrounding became sticky and moist.


    As if he did not know how to swim, he struggled to breathe.


    Jeremy isn''t fast at all, but why is it that I don''t know how to dodge his attack? An expert of Celestial


    Soul is simply terrifying!


    Right then, Jeremy leaped onto the stage, grabbing Jonathan''s neck all of a sudden, rendering him


    motionless.


    Jonathan could only watch when Jeremy had charged at him. He did not know how to avoid him at all.


    “Stop it!” Yareth eventually exploded.


    He had been observing the scene by the side, wearing a smiley expression on his face. At this


    moment, he wasn''t moving at all, but he managed to break the maic field that Jeremy had created


    with just his words.


    Jonathan felt relieved, as he could finally move his body again.


    He quickly sucked in multiple deep breaths and pulled Catherine backward.


    Catherine could feel that Jeremy was a threat and was fearful about it as well.


    Yareth, still seated in his seat, nced at Jeremy casually and said, “Today is my granddaughter and


    Jonathan''s big day. If you''re here to witness the ceremony, please suit yourself. Otherwise, leave if


    you''re here to cause trouble!”


    Jeremy could sense Yareth''s power, but he could not care less about it. He sneered, “You''re Yareth


    Harrington, the head of the Harrington family?”


    “Yes, I am.”


    “I heard you''re powerful! I suppose you cultivate in Longevous Deception too, huh?”


    Yareth said with a smile, “Close enough! As a matter of fact, it''s not Longevous Deception, but


    Requiem!”


    “You''re three meters away from me, and there''s a stage here. On the other hand, I''m only one meter


    away from your grandson-inw. Do you think you can stop me from killing him?”


    “Of course not!”


    “Then can you stop me from escaping after I''ve killed him?”


    Yareth remained calm and said, “No, I can''t.” Jeremy scoffed, “Haha! Then why are you behaving so


    arrogantly in front of me? You can''t do anything to stop me from killing him and escaping. So why can''t


    I kill him?”


    “I can''t stop you, but you can''t kill my grandson-inw either.”


    “Oh?” Jeremy was startled.


    “How about this? Let''s make a bet. You are to leave if you fail to kill him and fall off the stage. But I will


    admit that you''re capable if you can do away with him.”


    Jeremy''s pupils constricted. Then, with a flicker in his eyes, he said, “That''s a deal!”


    “Good.”


    Hearing this, Jonathan could not help but groan inwardly, Are you kidding me? I can''t even take a hit


    from Jeremy! How can I kick him off the stage?


    A pang of despair washed over Jonathan. However, he was not going to admit defeat as he took out


    the revolver from his sleeve.


    Below the stage, Amber and the other girls turned pale. Undoubtedly, they had noticed that Jonathan


    was at a disadvantage.


    “Yas, you''ra right!” Jonathan could not hida his idantity, and ha could navar dany it bacausa ha had


    always baan a pridaful man.


    Jaramy noddad whan ha haard Jonathan. A grim look shad across his ayas, and ha said


    forbiddingly, “Prapara to dia!” And with that, ha dashad toward Jonathan.


    Jaramy had achiavad Cstial Soul. Tha momant ha movad, Jonathan could faal tha air around him


    condansing into a rip of fluid.


    His surrounding bacama sticky and moist.


    As if ha did not know how to swim, ha strugd to braatha.

    Jaramy isn''t fast at all, but why is it that I don''t know how to dodga his attack? An axpart of Cstial


    Soul is simply tarrifying!


    Right than, Jaramyapad onto tha staga, grabbing Jonathan''s nack all of a suddan, randaring him


    motioss.


    Jonathan could only watch whan Jaramy had chargad at him. Ha did not know how to avoid him at all.


    “Stop it!” Yarath avantually axplodad.


    Ha had baan obsarving tha scana by tha sida, waaring a smy axprassion on his faca. At this


    momant, ha wasn''t moving at all, but ha managad to braak tha magnatic fiald that Jaramy had craatad


    with just his words.


    Jonathan falt raliavad, as ha could finally mova his body again.


    Ha quickly suckad in multi daap braaths and pud Catharina backward.


    Catharina could faal that Jaramy was a thraat and was faarful about it as wall.


    Yarath, still saatad in his saat, ncad at Jaramy casually and said, “Today is my granddaughtar and


    Jonathan''s big day. If you''ra hara to witnass tha caramony, asa suit yoursalf. Otharwisa,ava if


    you''ra hara to causa trou!”


    Jaramy could sansa Yarath''s powar, but ha could not carass about it. Ha snaarad, “You''ra Yarath


    Harrington, tha haad of tha Harrington family?”


    “Yas, I am.”


    “I haard you''ra powarful! I supposa you cultivata in Longavous Dacaption too, huh?”


    Yarath said with a sm, “Closa anough! As a mattar of fact, it''s not Longavous Dacaption, but


    Raquiam!”


    “You''ra thraa matars away from ma, and thara''s a staga hara. On tha othar hand, I''m only ona matar


    away from your grandson-inw. Do you think you can stop ma from killing him?”


    “Of coursa not!”


    “Than can you stop ma from ascaping aftar I''va kid him?”


    Yarath ramainad calm and said, “No, I can''t.” Jaramy scoffad, “Haha! Than why ara you bahaving so


    arrogantly in front of ma? You can''t do anything to stop ma from killing him and ascaping. So why can''t


    I kill him?”


    “I can''t stop you, but you can''t kill my grandson-inw aithar.”


    “Oh?” Jaramy was stard.


    “How about this? Lat''s maka a bat. You ara toava if you fail to kill him and fall off tha staga. But I will


    admit that you''ra capa if you can do away with him.”


    Jaramy''s pupils constrictad. Than, with a flickar in his ayas, ha said, “That''s a daal!”


    “Good.”


    Haaring this, Jonathan could not halp but groan inwardly, Ara you kidding ma? I can''t avan taka a hit


    from Jaramy! How can I kick him off tha staga?


    A pang of daspair washad ovar Jonathan. Howavar, ha was not going to admit dafaat as ha took out


    tha ravolvar from his ava.


    Balow tha staga, Ambar and tha othar girls turnad p. Undoubtadly, thay had noticad that Jonathan


    was at a disadvantaga.


    They could understand the situation that he was in. If he were to be careless, he would be killed right


    on the spot.


    Amber immediately turned to Louie and said, “Louie, you have to save Jonathan!”


    Louie answered in a low voice, “Don''t worry, Amber. Jonathan will be fine.”


    “But...” Amber was worried sick.


    However, she did not have a choice, seeing that Yareth and Louie were unfazed. She could only


    believe in their judgment.


    Truth be told, Jonathan had no confidence at all.


    Jeremy immediately noticed the revolver when it fell out of Jonathan''s sleeve.


    “Ha! Do you think you can beat me with the revolver in your hand?”


    Of course, Jonathan had never thought of relying on the revolver. He knew he could never shoot an


    expert like Jeremy from such a close distance, but it was hisst card.


    Taking a deep breath, Jonathan decided to give it a try, as it was the only way out.


    He was a fighter, and a fighter would walk fearlessly into an unknown despite knowing that danger


    awaited him ahead.


    With a snort, Jeremy began charging at Jonathan.


    This time, he did not summon a maic field around Jonathan anymore. Instead, he wanted to end


    this as soon as possible.


    Jeremy had achieved Celestial Soul. An attack from him would deal a great amount of damage.


    At that instant, Jonathan''s vision blurred and turned ck. He felt as if something was crushing him.


    The sky had lost its colors, and there was no lighting from the sun.


    He thought he was going to die soon. It was indeed the most ruthless attack that he had encountered in


    his life.


    Jonathan recalled the time when he was hunted by Yasir. Thetter''s skills were nothingpared to


    that of Jeremy''s.


    “I''m dying!” Jonathan''s mind went nk.


    Just at that critical moment, a voice echoed in Jonathan''s mind. “Fire!”


    The sonorous voice snapped Jonathan back to reality as a sense of enlightenment engulfed him.


    Without hesitation, he fired three shots in a row.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Three mercury bullets were fired from Jonathan''s revolver.


    The color instantly drained from Jeremy''s face. He never expected that Jonathan would be so swift and


    agile all of a sudden. He was too close to Jonathan to dodge the bullets. Hence, he could only deploy


    the Shadow Step technique.


    Unfortunately, Jonathan knew this technique too well.


    Jeremy had tried to dodge the bullets, but when he came back to his senses, he realized he was not on


    the stage anymore.


    Regaining hisposure, Jonathan recalled what had happened a while ago. It was a strange feeling


    as if he had received help from another source. He felt feverish and could see things with extra rity.


    Immediately, he turned to look at Yareth.


    Yareth was still sitting there with his eyes closed. Then, he opened his eyes and said, “All right! Can


    you leave now?”


    Jeremy''s face darkened. ncing over at Yareth, he said, “Ha! So you''ve achieved Primordial Soul.


    Fine, I admit defeat! Goodbye!”


    “You can leave, but your disciple, Bianca, has to stay,” Yareth said abruptly.


    Jeremy looked at Yareth and asked coldly, “What do you mean?”


    “I know you well enough. You''re Jeremy Depp and you''re one of the external disciples of the Divine


    Realm. I should have killed you because you''ve vited my granddaughter''s wedding. However, I have


    to respect the Divine Realm and the Emperor of Chanaea. So, you may leave, but not your disciple.”


    “What if I insist on bringing her with me?” Jeremy said through gritted teeth. Then he looked at Yareth


    dubiously and asked, “Who are you? How do you even know the Emperor of Chanaea?”


    Yareth answered with a chuckle, “I''ve had the chance to drink with Lance Cadman, the Emperor of


    Chanaea, once. What''s so surprising about it?”


    Jonathan was at a loss listening to their conversation. He only knew from their words that Yareth had


    helped him when he fired the three shots.


    Man, he''s good... and terrifying.


    As for the Emperor of Chanaea, he could not care less about who he was. He had no desire to know


    him either. He reckoned that Lance and the Demon Emperor, Tristan Cadman, were of simr


    cultivation level and that they were both the inner disciples of the Divine Realm.


    These Great Emperors are legendary figures. I''d have no regrets if I could be as great as them.


    Jeremy took a deep breath before saying, “I''m sorry for offending you. However, I must take my disciple


    away with me. In exchange for this, she will never retaliate against Jonathan. What do you think?”


    All eyes were on Yareth and Jeremy. The guests were taken aback by the tense atmosphere and the


    scene in front of them.


    Yareth responded, “It''s not that I don''t want to spare her, but your disciple is stubborn in her resolve to


    wreak vengeance on Jonathan. I''m afraid you can''t talk her out of it either.” Here, he paused before


    continuing, “Oh, whatever. I''ll let you go since you''ve apologized. Leave at once!”


    Jeremy''s expression was unreadable. “Thank you so much!”


    After that, he left with Bianca.


    Bianca was chagrined because she had failed to achieve her objectives. Even Jeremy could not help


    her out too.


    Before she left, she could not help but look daggers at Jonathan.


    A chill shot down his spine when Jonathan saw Bianca''s murderous nce. He said, “Bianca,


    Leonardo''s death was the result of a fair fight between me and him in the fighting ring. In the ring, one


    has to go, so I''ve got no choice at that time. If you have to put this me on someone, then put it on


    those who forced him to the ring. You''ve been looking for the wrong person all this while.”


    “Don''t worry, Lawson! After killing you, I will settle the scores with the people from Strikezone Martial


    Arts. I will never let those who have killed Leon go easily. Just you wait! You can''t keep your guard up


    against me all the time. I''ll make you regret killing Leon!”


    “Hey, girl!” Yareth called out.


    Bianca turned around and looked at Yareth in an aloof manner. “Are you going to renege on your


    promise of sparing my life?”


    “I''ve promised to let you go, but you''re hopelessly consumed with hatred. If that''s the case, don''t me


    me for doing this to you.”


    “Argh!” Bianca held her head as blood and tears started flowing from her eyes.


    When she lifted her head again, she looked disheveled and lost. Suddenly, she broke into a fit of


    giggles.
