Chapter 209


    Gabriel still hadn''t said what he did before Jonathan closed theptop and stomped it into pieces.


    Jonathan pulled Lah out of the room. “Let''s go.”


    As they speedily left the room, she asked with curiosity, “Why didn''t you let him finish?”


    “He''s trying to buy time. There must be something strange inside the room. It''s probably an object that,


    once we interact with it for long enough, he''ll be able to capture our maic field, breathing rhythm, et


    cetera urately. Then he''ll use what he learned to control us.”


    “How can you be so sure?”


    “Gabriel is a smart man, but I''m no fool, either.”


    “What do we do now?”


    “We go back to our room and rest.”


    Inside another room, Gabriel and Lucio were observing what was happening through a surveince


    camera. The moment Jonathan and Lah left the room, Lucio paled slightly. “What do we do? Your


    Octagram Abstruse Formation was just activated. It didn''t have time to suck their spirit essence at all.”


    Gabriel''s expression remained unchanged. “This is more interesting. If they were controlled by me so


    easily, then they aren''t worthy of being my opponents.”


    “What do we do now?”


    With a faint smile, Gabriel said, “When they came out of their room, I asked someone to release a little


    Incense of Lost Souls inside their room. I made it myself. Once they leave the room, I''ll use maic


    force to retrieve the Incense of Lost Souls, which will have their spirit essence inside.”


    Lucio was shocked as a chill ran down his spine. Gabriel is terrifyingly shrewd. How can anyone defend


    themselves against him? Only disaster awaits those who be his enemy.


    The greatest skill Gabriel possessed was his ability to manipte people.


    As they spoke, he connected theptop to the surveince cameras in the corridor, allowing them to


    watch what was happening there live.


    On the screen, they saw Jonathan and Lah arriving in front of their room.


    Just as Lah was about to enter the room, Jonathan abruptly grabbed her.


    She turned to him and asked, “What''s the matter?”


    With a deep voice, he said, “Gabriel''s a cheeky b*stard. There''s no way he''d let me see through his


    tricks that easily. It''s very possible he did something in our room when we went looking for him.”


    Lah''s heart dropped. She was beginning to realize how scary Gabriel was.


    She had always honed her skills to kill, and whenever she engaged in a fight, she would do so openly.


    However, all of Gabriel''s tactics were secretive and unpredictable.


    “Maybe you''re just overthinking it?” Lah asked.


    Jonathan replied, “It''s better to be safe than sorry, especially when we''re dealing with Gabriel. I think


    we should stay out of the room and ask a staff member to retrieve our luggage for us.”


    In response, she nodded in agreement.


    And so, both of them went to the lobby and asked a staff member to grab their luggage for them.


    When they received their luggage, they examined it carefully. Once they determined there was no issue


    with the luggage, they paid the bills and left.


    Gabriel and Lucio were still in the room.


    At that moment, Lucio realized how good Jonathan was. I thought Gabriel was crafty, but Jonathan''s no


    slouch, either. Their battle is undoubtedly a ferocious one. I thought I was pretty good, but now that I''ve


    seen what the two of them are capable of, I feel like I''m just a kid in the parkpared to them in


    terms of intelligence.


    “What''s next?” he asked.


    Rotating the ring in his hand, Gabriel replied with a in expression, “We still have plenty of time and


    opportunities, so let''s just take this slow.”


    After Jonathan and Lah left the hotel, they called for a taxi.


    When they entered the vehicle, they asked the Yartranian driver to drive them to the city center, which


    he did speedily and attentively.


    Jonathan and Lah proceeded to use Chanaean tomunicate. That way, they wouldn''t need to


    worry about the driver listening to their conversation.


    “Are we just going to keep running like startled cats?” When her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked


    beautiful in a unique way.


    He replied, “They''re hiding in the dark while we''re in the light. It''s difficult for us to fight back like this.


    Gabriel''s divination is simply too powerful. He can simply deduce where we''re going.”


    His previous battle with Gabriel upset him because no matter what he did, Gabriel would already know


    about it in advance, whereas he had no idea what Gabriel was nning.


    “It''s not difficult to find out where they are. We''ll just pay the local mob bosses a visit. Their vast


    network of connections will probably help us find them. If we don''t kill Gabriel before we find the Sinai


    Bible, we''ll only be handing it to him on a silver tter.”


    Jonathan''s eyes glimmered. “That''s a good idea.”


    “Then we shall pause our search for the Sinai Bible until we can kill Gabriel, no matter how long it


    takes. At most, all of us will just get sealed off together.”


    “I bet if we head home now, it''ll dumbfound Gabriel and the others.” Suddenly, he became very


    interested in seeing Gabriel''s expression if they did that.


    Upon rolling her eyes at Jonathan, Lah said, “They''ll have lots of difficulties finding the Sinai Bible.


    We shouldn''t put our fates in someone else''s hands.”


    “I know. I was just joking.”


    When they arrived at the center of Yeringham, they found another hotel to check in.


    Additionally, both of them were still staying in the same room. Since Gabriel''s threat was looming over


    them, sleeping in separate rooms would only increase their risk of getting caught off guard.


    They slept inside a presidential suite. Jonathan took the couch, which he foundfortable, while


    Lah took the bed.

    Nightmares didn''t haunt him again when he fell asleep.


    That was because he was very far away from Gabriel at the moment. Thetter didn''t have the ability


    to give people nightmares from a long distance.


    Additionally, the nightmares were kind of pointless.


    In the past, vengeful spirits loved to appear in the dreams of those who wronged them as a means of


    seeking revenge. They would haunt those people''s dreams, making them unable to sleep and


    deteriorating their mental states.


    However, Jonathan wasn''t the type of person who would get controlled by nightmares.


    Both he and Lah had a pretty good sleep after a rough night.


    It wasn''t until eight in the morning that he woke up, sat up, and stretched his body. Then he arrived in


    front of the balcony and opened the curtains.


    The moment he did, sunlight poured into the room, bathing him in a golden glow.


    Since they were on the thirty-sixth floor, Jonathan was able to see the entire city when he looked down.


    In the distance, he saw a couple of temples.


    Yeringham was also a city filled with religious overtones.


    The air was a little dry, though that didn''t affect Jonathan''s mood. Moving from the cold Lostaria to the


    warm Yeringham would make anyone happy when they saw bright sunlight like that.


    Soon, Jonathan heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.


    Turning back, he saw Lah standing at the entrance. She had just woken up, which was why she


    looked drowsy.


    When he saw her, it made him excited in an instant.


    That was because her white robe wasn''t properly secured. Thus, her fair thighs were somewhat visible


    behind the robe.


    Hot d*mn! Jonathan gulped.


    It had been a long time since he touched a woman, and it was still early in the morning, which was


    when men were the most energetic.


    She was practically tempting him tomit a crime.


    When Lah noticed Jonathan''s stare, it woke her uppletely. Without dy, she returned to the


    room and mmed the door shut.


    He depressingly rubbed his nose. I can''t be med for doing that!


    Around five minutester, Lah exited the bedroom, fully clothed.


    Upon seeing him, she acted as though nothing had happened, and there weren''t any unique


    expressions on her face.


    Besides, nothing really happened. Jonathan only nced at her thighs. The sight that day was far


    tamerpared to when he saw her breasts on the ne.


    After they washed up, they grabbed their luggage and went downstairs.


    Considering Gabriel''s threat, they couldn''t stay in the same hotel and the same room for two days.


    They went to the hotel''s second floor to enjoy their free breakfast.


    While the breakfast was said to be free, the price was likely already included in their bills.


    There were many other guests around when they ate their breakfasts. The guests around came from


    different countries and had different skin colors.


    It would appear that Yeringham''s tourism industry was rtively well-developed. Religious people


    especially loved to visit the city.


    After all, the Sacred Temple was considered a holynd by many worshippers.


    Lah''s outfit was pretty simple, as it only consisted of a white shirt and a pair of jeans. Her hair was


    also tied into a ponytail. Her look made her seem like she was really a tourist.


    On the other hand, Jonathan had a buzz cut and was wearing a ck shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair


    of sports shoes, making him look clean and simple.


    As she ate bread and drank cream corn soup, she asked, “Where should we start looking for an


    information broker? Any ideas?”


    “I do have some, but we shouldn''t be looking for information brokers. Instead, we should be looking for


    the person controlling the brokers. In other words, we''re looking for the ruler of Yeringham''s


    underworld. Someone like that would definitely know a lot more about the location of the Third Sacred


    Temple, the Sinai Bible, and even Gabriel''s whereabouts than ordinary people.”


    “But we know basically nothing about the city. We have no idea who the ruler of the underworld is or


    where he is. How are we going to find them?”


    With a faint smile, Jonathan stated, “It''s simple!”


    “Simple?”


    “There are always gray businesses in cities, and Yeringham is no exception. Those running a gray


    business tend to have an even more powerful figure supporting them. Otherwise, government officials


    or other people from the underworld wille looking for trouble. Later on, we''ll go and find the


    entertainment district in the city.”


    Lah''s eyes glimmered. Jonathan''s quite smart.


    After they finished their breakfasts, both of them deposited their luggage in a hotel before leaving the


    building and hailing a taxi.


    The taxi''s engine started when they entered the vehicle.


    The driver was an old Irethielian.


    However, he didn''t know any Ustranasian, so he used his country''snguage tomunicate with


    Jonathan.


    Jonathan frowned. I have no idea what he''s saying.


    With no other choice, they had to hail a new taxi.


    Before they entered the vehicle, Jonathan asked, “Do you know Ustranasian?”


    The driver was Chanaean, and he spoke using Chanaean. “What? Is speaking Chanaean not good


    enough for a fellow Chanaean anymore? I''m just a driver. I don''t need to pass sixth-grade


    Ustranasian.”
