Chapter 259


    After that, Beatrix added, “You said that frost only appeared on the woman''s hand after shaking yours,


    but I''m not really convinced.”


    Jonathan immediately replied, “It is true. I wanted to ask if you have ever encountered such a strange


    thing.”


    “I have not,” she replied.


    Jonathan was a little disappointed when he heard that. “Then, it seems you like don''t know what''s


    going on either, Beatrix.”


    Beatrix replied coldly, “I''m not omnipotent, so I won''t know everything.” She paused for a moment


    before continuing, “You said that the frost only appears on her hand when she touches yours but not


    when she touches others, right?”


    “Yes.”


    “And you suspect that there is some kind of mysterious connection between yourself and her, which is


    why the frost appears on her hand when she touches you, right?”


    “Yes, that''s right,” Jonathan replied. It was impossible to not follow that train of thought.

    “That''s very childish thinking.”


    Jonathan nearly popped a vein in anger upon hearing that.


    “You should think about what makes you different from a normal person. You''re a powerful spiritual


    fighter, and your vitality is very strong. Perhaps that woman has an unusual constitution, and it caused


    a reaction when she came into contact with you. In other words, it''s not that you''re special but every


    powerful spiritual fighter who touches that woman''s hand would get the same reaction.”


    Jonathan was slightly stunned, but he had to admit that Beatrix''s words made a lot of sense. In fact,


    that was the best exnation for what had happened.


    It was really childish of me to think of it as a connection from our past lives!


    “Why does she have such a constitution?” Jonathan asked.


    “I don''t know.” Beatrix paused before continuing, “The world is never short of curiosities, so this isn''t


    really that surprising. Moreover, some people are born with a higher mental capacity than others and


    mana. Some carry someone else''s memories when they are born; in other words, they were


    reincarnated. But is that really reincarnation? It''s just that their thoughts have merged with a newborn


    after their death.”


    Jonathan agreed wholeheartedly with what she said. At least he knew that Gabriel was born with


    innately strong spiritual energy. Gabriel''s mind was not strong like Divine Master''s because he


    developed it at ater stage. It was because his mind was already naturally much stronger than an


    ordinary person''s.


    Beatrix piped up again, “The world is vast and always evolving with time. There is nothing in this


    universe that is strange, no matter how extraordinary or astonishing it is.”


    “That makes sense,” Jonathan voiced his agreement.


    “If there''s nothing else, I''ll hang up now,” Beatrix said.


    Jonathan chuckled. “I''ll bring you a gift when I get to Lostaria, Beatrix.”


    “I don''t need one!” With that, she ended the call.


    Jonathan put away his phone with a small smile on his face.


    He was used to her antics anyway.


    After speaking to her, he was no longer feeling troubled about Joanne.


    No matter what she was like or what kind of secrets she was harboring, it was her privacy. There was


    no need for him to get to the bottom of it.


    With that thought, Jonathan merrily dug into the te of spaghetti bolognese. After that, he called a cab


    and headed toward Victor''s location.


    Willowbank was truly an extraordinary ce. Falcon Corporation was very influential in Willowbank and


    could be considered the top corporation in the city.


    However, Victor was the richest man in the city. How was he able to aplish that?


    It was simple for he owned a real estatepany.


    Victor seemed to have copied the business model of a very sessful developer. He developed some


    clubs, mansions, and plots of auspiciousnd in geomancy terms. He always targeted the wealthy.


    That was a rather unique approach.


    However, Victory Enterprise had established its business empire and others were unable to imitate it.


    Half an hourter, Jonathan arrived at Victory Enterprise.


    He stood in front of the towering building under the sunlight.


    At that moment, a gust of cold wind blew past him.


    The warm sunlight and the cold wind were strangely harmonious.


    Jonathan was dressed coolly in a ck leather jacket and a pair of sunsses.


    He didn''t have Victor''s phone number, so he could only contact him this way.


    As soon as he entered the building, two security guards stepped forward and blocked him.


    “May I know who you are and who you are looking for?” one of the security guards asked.


    Jonathan smiled politely and said, “I''m here to see Victor, the Chairman. I have an appointment with


    him.” He swept his gaze over the two security guards and added, “Well, it''s not really an appointment.


    He was the one who invited me over.”


    The two security guards were dumbfounded, unsure whether to believe him or not.


    “Are you going to keep blocking my path?” Jonathan''s temper instantly red. “Do you know who my


    father is? He is the chief of this city''s police station. If you get on my bad side, I''ll turn Victory Enterprise


    into Loser Enterprise.”


    His ability to lie was second to none, and he always did it in a serious manner.


    He was particrly good at putting on an act.


    Seeing how confident he was, the security guards became somewhat convinced.


    It was mainly due to Jonathan''s assertiveness when he spoke. Moreover, he behaved with the


    arrogance of a spoilt son of a government official.


    Suddenly, a young woman''s voice rang out. “Hmph! That was really arrogant!”


    The security guards directed their gaze behind Jonathan and immediately greeted her, “Ms. Briana!”


    A sense of dread filled Jonathan. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman dressed in a red coat


    with an angry expression on her face.


    The woman appeared to be around twenty-two years old and carried herself with an air of nobility. She


    wore simple and light makeup, which entuated her beauty.


    The woman was tall and slender, and she was even a little taller than Jonathan.


    Judging from her demeanor and what the security guards had called her, he immediately guessed her


    identity. She was none other than his target, Briana Yarbrough!


    Two mean-looking bodyguards dressed in ck trailed behind her.


    “Briana!” Jonathan immediately broke into a smile and called out to her.


    Briana simply stared at him coldly. She truly disliked him quite a bit. But that was not unexpected,


    because firstly, she felt that Jonathan was a scammer and a liar. Secondly, he dared to say that he


    would turn Victory Enterprise into Loser Enterprise. That was absolutely infuriating! Thirdly, he was


    extremely arrogant and had no ss.


    “Do you think a low-life hooligan like you is allowed to call me that?” she spat coldly.


    Jonathanughed dryly. “Well, I''m no low-life hooligan. Even if I were, I would be a powerful one!”


    Briana looked at him with a frosty gaze and did not entertain his childish humor. “I heard you say earlier


    that your dad is the chief at the police station.”


    Briana was cautious and worried that he really was the chief''s son as that would cause problems for


    her father. Hence, to err on the safe side, she decided to rify with him.


    “That''s right,” Jonathan replied.


    “Alright. What is Chief Holmes'' full name?”


    Jonathan was extremely sharp-witted and had noticed the glint that shed across Briana''s eyes. That


    was how he knew her question was a trap.


    Most people would ask what the chief''s name was or what their surname was.


    However, Briana asked what Chief Holmes'' full name was.


    Therefore, it was highly likely that the chief''s surname was not Holmes. It was just to trick Jonathan into


    exposing himself.


    “I don''t know who Chief Holmes is. My dad''s surname isn''t Holmes!” he answered.


    Of course, it isn''t. My dad''s surname is Lawson!


    Briana was slightly stunned at the fact that he didn''t fall for her trick.


    However, she still didn''t believe that he was the chief''s son. Perhaps he had learned what the chief''s


    name was from the news.


    “In that case, what is your dad''s name?”


    Jonathan chuckled and said, “Alright, I''ll tell the truth, Briana. My dad isn''t the chief at the police station.


    I was just kidding.”


    Briana was startled for a moment. Then, her face turned red with anger.


    She turned to the two guards standing behind her and said, “Kick this lunatic out immediately.”


    “Wait!” Jonathan hurriedly interjected. “I''ll confess, Briana. My dad and your father are close friends,


    and we have been betrothed to each other at birth. I''m here to ask for your hand in marriage. If you


    don''t believe me, you can check with your father.”


    Briana instantly flew into a rage. This guy has no shame! He''s clearly trying to take advantage of me!


    “Kick him out now!” she ordered the two bodyguards.


    There was a menacing air around the bodyguards and the sunsses they wore strengthened that


    aura. They immediately stormed over to Jonathan aggressively.


    They reached for him, ready to throw him out of the building.


    Jonathan backed away and yelled, “Hey, hey, hey! We''re all civilized people, aren''t we? Why are you


    getting physical? Misters, we can talk this out. Hey, are you really going to throw me out?”


    Jonathan kicked and punched the bodyguards, sending them crashing into the ground. He sat on one


    of them and put his foot on the other. “Do you yield?”


    Briana was shocked. She never expected Jonathan to be such a powerful fighter!


    “You two!” She turned toward the security guards and shouted, “Quick! Get back up and call the


    police!”


    “No, don''t do that!” Jonathan immediately stood up and smiled sheepishly at Briana. “Please let me see


    our dad, Briana! He''ll determine once and for all if I was lying or not.”


    She did not relent as she was scared that he would harm her father. Then, she took several steps back


    and said, “Wait there. I''ll call my father now.”


    The call went through in no time.


    “Briana, can I talk to him first?” Jonathan asked.


    She nced at him before speaking into the phone, “That lunatic wants to talk to you.”


    Victor also couldn''t wrap his head around the situation.


    Despite that, he acquiesced. “Give him the phone, and let''s see what he says.”


    Briana nodded and handed the phone to Jonathan with a disgusted expression on her face.


    Jonathan let out a chuckle as he took the phone from her.


    Then, he turned away from Briana and whispered, “Divine Realm.”


    As soon as Victor heard those words, he instantly understood what was going on.


    After that, Jonathan spoke loudly, “Mr. Yarbrough, is the marriage that you and my dad decided on


    back then still valid? You are a very wealthy man now, but you wouldn''t forget about us, right? I hope


    you are not that heartless!”
