Chapter 213


    The owner of the voice was none other than Jonathan.


    Lucio nched the moment he heard the voice.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan and Lah sauntered into the living room.


    shing a smile, Jonathan said, “Lucio, you might be skilled, but you''re no longer young. Knowledge is


    power. You''ll run into trouble everywhere if you can''t speak Ustranasian!”


    Lucio''s expression was dark as he sneered, “B*stard, do you think you can kill me today?”


    Jonathan sighed. “That''s inappropriate of you, Lucio. I showed you respect, but you''re rude to me. We


    can''t get along if you insist on being rude.”


    Lucio assumed Jonathan was mocking him, which was indeed the truth.


    He took a deep breath. Lah is capable. If I try to escape and turn my back to face them, they will


    seize the opportunity and kill me without hesitation.


    An icy glint shed across his eyes as he set his gaze on Jonathan.


    Without warning, Lucio stomped his feet.


    Countless cracks immediately spread across the ground like an intricate spider web.


    He had unleashed his power as the Peacock King, and the overbearing aura was unrivaled.


    His aura which was powerful enough to make people bow before him swept across Jonathan.


    Jonathan was suffocating. To his horror, Lucio was charging toward him in a menacing manner. Out of


    nowhere, the skies and grounds shook violently.


    It seemed that Jonathan had no choice but to retreat immediately.


    Once he did that, Lucio would be able to flee the scene sessfully.


    Everything had happened in a sh. It was too sudden and unexpected.


    Something shed across Jonathan''s eyes as he unleashed the Great Sage Force Field without


    hesitation.


    The more intense Lucio''s pressure was, the more Jonathan retaliated against it.


    Jonathan also unleashed his Haemocore.


    At that very moment, the strong vitality power rumbled and spread across his body.


    Boom!


    Jonathan''s eyes turned red as he let out a roar and executed the Rolling Thunder Punch.


    Bang!


    Jonathan''s fist collided with Lucio''s. The former instantly stumbled back several steps from the impact


    as his vitality rumbled within his body.


    Lucio also staggered one step back as disbelief filled his eyes.


    Despite having only achieved the final stage of the Nascent Soul, Jonathan was capable of defeating


    him, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Celestial Soul. He couldn''t believe his eyes when the


    realization struck him.


    How is this possible?


    Lah was equally shocked as well.


    Her heart sank when she realized Lucio had resorted to a sudden attack. She couldn''t save Jonathan,


    and she had assumed that Lucio would be able to flee the scene sessfully.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    To her utter surprise, Jonathan stood in his spot and defended himself against Lucio''s attack. He even


    managed to force Lucio to retreat.


    Without hesitation, Lahunched an attack as quick as a sh of lightning.


    She was at the final stage of the Celestial Soul andunched a seemingly weak attack. However, she


    had gathered all the power and vitality in her punch.


    It was like a highly explosive bomb—seemingly harmless on the outside but could detonate violently


    and cause a massive amount of damage.


    Neutralizing Force experts could shut their vital energy, causing their vitality to rumble and explode


    within their bodies.


    Nascent Soul experts were capable of unleashing their aura to the maximum and exerting pressure on


    their enemy. With their Destino Art, they could form a formidable spirit and use their vitality to create a


    Nascent Soul. That way, the explosion would be more terrifying.


    Celestial Soul experts were able to reserve their vitality. Their single punch would attack the enemy''s


    body without wasting any ounce of their energy.


    When a ball was floating on the water, if an ordinary human were to punch it, the force would be


    disced by the water.


    However, if it was a punch from a Celestial Soul expert, all the force wouldnd on the ball without


    dispersing.


    Lahunched her Hammer Fist and aimed for Lucio''s throat.


    Lucio retreated without hesitation. He was sensible to realize how strong Lah''s punch was.


    Lah charged ahead and didn''t hold back in attacking him.


    She was as fast as lightning, and Lucio had no way of defending himself.


    After his vitality recovered, Jonathan let out a roar and charged forward yet again.


    He had five seconds of explosive strength.


    As the power of Haemocore went berserk, cracks formed on the ground.


    Lucio had barely dodged Lah''s attack when he sensed a force that felt as if a train was barreling


    toward him at full speed.


    Failing to avoid the attack, he was sent flying and crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.


    Blood gushed out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He slumped and died on the spot.


    Jonathan steadied himself instantly. There was a horrifying, tyrannical aura surrounding him. He


    promptly calmed down and returned to his usual self.


    Lah was speechless. Jonathan is unpredictable in fights. Despite acting on a whim, he managed to


    kill Lucio. Known for being the formidable Peacock King, I can''t believe Lucio was knocked to his death


    by Jonathan.


    Isaac was also dumbfounded. It was then that he realized how powerful Lah and Jonathan were.


    Fortunately I didn''t offend any of them.


    Raul was right behind them. He immediately went to Isaac and asked, “Boss, are you all right?”


    Isaac replied, “I''m fine.” He paused before asking, “Why did youe back?”


    Hearing that, Jonathan revealed, “We were nning on going to the hospital, but Raul was worried


    about you. He had a feeling that something was going to happen here and asked us to stay behind. I


    think it isn''t easy for Raul to work alone in a foreign city, so I agreed to his request. Indeed, the enemy


    came here.”


    Isaac began seeing Raul in a different light. He patted Raul''s shoulders approvingly. “Raul, I knew you


    have it in you.” Naturally, he didn''t doubt Jonathan''s exnation.


    Never in his wildest dreams had he expected that Jonathan would predict the enemy''s arrival.


    “Please take care of the person''s body, Mr. Mendenhall. We need to take our leave now,” Jonathan


    said.


    Isaac nodded. “You saved my life. Why don''t you stay for dinner? You can leave after that.”


    Jonathan chuckled. “No need. We were the ones who brought the enemy here, so we''re obliged to


    save you.”


    As Jonathan had made up his mind, Isaac said, “Then I shall ask Raul to give you a ride.”


    “Thank you. What about your security?” Jonathan reminded him.


    “I shall make the arrangements. I got careless, but that won''t happen again,” Isaac assured him.


    “I''m d to hear that.” After a brief silence, he continued, “This man is Gabriel''s aplice. Gabriel''s


    legs are crippled, so he cannot walk. Please continue investigating his whereabouts, Mr. Mendenhall.”


    “Does that mean Gabriel is not a threat?” Isaac asked.


    Jonathan shook his head. “We can''t be sure about that. Gabriel is full of tricks. Once you locate him,


    don''t take action instantly and let us know at once.”


    “Okay!” Isaac agreed readily.


    After that, Jonathan and Lah bade goodbye to him.


    Raul followed them out.


    He drove the car while Jonathan and Lah upied the back seat.


    The car soon drove out of Mylers Residences.


    “Mr. Lawson, are we going to the hospital?” Raul asked. Grateful for Jonathan''s help, Raul''s tone


    brimmed with courtesy and respect when he spoke to Jonathan.


    “No, we''re not going to the hospital. Bring us to a nearby hotel,” came Jonathan''s answer.


    “Why are we going to a hotel?” Lah blurted out.


    In a stern voice, Jonathan answered, “It''s Gabriel. What if Lucio sprinkled something on our bodies


    without us realizing it? We should get a shower and change out of our clothes. That way, we will be


    safe. Gabriel is a cripple, so he is no longer a threat to us. We just need to focus on finding the Sinai


    Bible.”


    Lah got curious. “Is Gabriel that capable?”


    “No matter what, it''s better to be safe than sorry. Am I right?” Jonathan asked.


    They weren''t in a hurry, after all. Thus, Lah agreed to his suggestion.


    Raul dropped them off at a nearby hotel. Then, Jonathan told him to get their luggage from the hotel


    they previously stayed in.


    While Raul went to get their luggage, Jonathan and Lah each checked into their respective rooms.


    After they both took a shower, Raul arrived with their luggage.


    He ced their luggage outside their rooms and left.


    Lah wrapped herself in a towel and grabbed her luggage to change into a new outfit.


    Jonathan did the same.


    Afterpleting all the steps, Jonathan could finally heave a sigh of relief.


    He was thinking in Gabriel''s shoes. Gabriel must''ve predicted that Lucio might run into me. That was


    why he stayed put. There is a huge possibility that Gabriel did something.


    Jonathan had enough experience to know that some drugs could be sprinkled on humans'' bodies.


    They were potent despite being colorless and tasteless.


    He had to put his guard up.


    I showered and threw away my clothes. There is no way I''ll fall for his trap. Now that Lucio is dead,


    Gabriel is like a toothless tiger. Even if he''s full of tricks, he couldn''t do anything else.


    After taking a shower, Jonathan left his room to meet Lah.


    Lah had dried her hair, so it looked soft and bouncy.


    They were both d in T-shirts. Jonathan was wearing a ck T-shirt, and Lah in white. They looked


    like they were wearing matching outfits.


    “We haven''t eaten anything the entire day. Why don''t we get something to eat?” Jonathan nced at


    Lah. “We can head to the hospital after eating something.”


    “Sure,” came Lah''s reply. She was relieved as Lucio was dead.


    Just like Jonathan, she assumed Gabriel was a toothless tiger and wouldn''t be a threat to them


    anymore as Lucio was already dead.


    They were in the middle ofpleting the mission, and the mission was already closed to others.


    Thus, there was no way Gabriel had other helpers.


    Jonathan, Lah, and Raul had a sumptuous dinner in the hotel.


    Raul insisted on footing the bill, so the other two let him be.


    It was already ten at night when they finished dinner.


    Without further dy, they headed to Peace River Hospital.


    Meanwhile, Isaac, who assumed all the trouble had been resolved, was rxing in Mylers Residences.


    Besides, he even got acquainted with Jonathan and Lah, who were both experts. That was good


    news to him.


    He didn''t hesitate to arrange for ten bodyguards and a professional team to get rid of Lucio''s body.


    Being in the underground circles, Isaac had killed his fair share of people and knew how to dispose of


    bodies easily.


    However, things didn''t go that smoothly this time.


    Ten bodyguards soon arrived at the living room of his mansion. A van was waiting outside, and four


    bodyguards were wearing white gloves to move Lucio''s body.


    Isaac leaned back on the couch and puffed on his cigar calmly.
