Chapter 292


    After finishing a phone conversation with Catherine, Jonathan called Beatrix up.


    Thetter was delighted when she received the call. Even though she kept her feelings hidden,


    Jonathan could still hear the joy in her tone. Beatrix and Master truly care for me. I''ll surely repay them


    if I seed in the future.


    Edward''s incident was too huge a blow for Jonathan. However, he was strong-willed and would not be


    brought down easily.


    As a person of principle, he drew a clear line between gratitude and grudges.


    “Jonathan, are you all right?” Beatrix asked.


    “Don''t worry, Beatrix. I''m fine.” Jonathan broke into a smile.


    Upon hearing that, Beatrix heaved a sigh of relief. “d to hear that. Count me in the next time you


    want to deal with Edward.”


    Her words made Jonathan even move, yet he could only reply, “Thank you.”


    Beatrix shed a faint smile as she added, “Is there anything else?”


    “There''s something I want to ask for Master''s help, but I''m afraid that it''d be too abrupt of me to meet


    him directly, so I''m thinking of discussing it with you first,” Jonathan answered without hesitation.


    Beatrix was slightly stunned before she said, “Go ahead.”


    Jonathan told her about Mabel''s condition after that.


    After listening to his words, Beatrix remarked, “Since it''s a life and death situation, bring your friend


    over quickly. Although your friend can''t enter Divine Realm, Master is able to excuse himself.”


    Jonathan''s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Sure!”


    “Let me know when you arrive,” said Beatrix.


    “Understood!” Jonathan finally felt calmer after calling Beatrix.


    Half an hourter, Jonathan met up with Catherine outside Pearl Building.


    When Catherine arrived in her Ferrari, he hopped into it immediately.


    Once he closed the car door, Catherine took out the two Immortal Pills.


    “Here,” she uttered coldly and clearly as she handed him the brocade box with the pills inside.


    The Immortal Pills that were worth a fortune meant nothing to her, yet she gave them to Jonathan just


    like that.


    Catherine, wearing white sportswear that day, tied her hair into a ponytail and looked pretty and elegant


    as always.


    After receiving the brocade box, Jonathan put it aside without looking closer at it. He dominantly pulled


    Catherine into his arms.


    The woman did not avoid it and nestled in his arms quietly.


    “Catherine, Edward has already be the first disciple of Divine Realm''s inner circle. From now on,


    all of us have to address him as Master whenever we see him,” Jonathan uttered in a deep voice.


    Catherine, who had always been unperturbed, couldn''t help but gasp at his words. The news made her


    face turn pale from shock. She finally understood why the man suddenly changed his mind and asked


    for the two Immortal Pills.


    After all, he refused to ept them before.


    Despite her silence, Catherine was actually incredibly perceptive. It piqued her interest when Jonathan


    suddenly requested Immortal Pills from her. Nheless, she couldn''t be bothered to ask.


    Now that Jonathan brought the matter up, she finally got her head around it.


    She knew well that the man had made up his mind, and there would be no way he could reconcile with


    Edward.


    Shortly after, Catherine raised her head and held Jonathan''s hands. “I will always stay by your side.”


    That was the only thing she could do to help him.


    Jonathan was moved by her words and kissed her lips.


    Although he met many enemies along the journey, he felt his life was not in vain for having many


    friends and lovers who stayed by his side in life-and-death situations.


    “I''m going to Lostaria after this. Something happened to Mabel.” Jonathan subsequently told Catherine.


    However, she appeared not interested in that and only reminded him, “Be careful.”


    After sharing some intimacy with each other, Jonathan bade her goodbye. “I''ll take good care of Alicia,”


    said Catherine before driving off.


    Hearing that made Jonathan feel his heart filling with warmth at once.


    After sending Catherine off, he went to meet Mabel.


    Although Mabel had sealed the dark forces in her Forehead Acupoint, her abilities and body were


    unaffected.


    Still, the Infant King''s primordial spirit was like a time bomb.


    Soon, it was six o''clock in the evening. The sky was already dark in Yaleview.


    Jonathan and Mabel boarded the ne to Lostaria and were seated in the VIP cabin.

    The service in the VIP cabin was excellent, and they provided wine and fruit to their guests.


    Moments after the flight attendant left, Mabel poured Jonathan a ss of red wine.


    She wore a small, ck leather jacket coupled with a pair of jeans. Her outfit gave her the vibe of a


    beautiful modern city girl with a more regal aura.


    Men would always feel shame and inferiority in front of her.


    However, Jonathan was excluded.


    He was d in a casual ck shirt and jeans, making him appear decent and capable.


    “Cheers!” Mabel shed him a bright smile as she spoke.


    Her smile was indeed captivating.


    Jonathan, however, was invulnerable to such beauty of hers, as they only saw each other as friends.


    He took a sip of red wine before saying, “Are you really not afraid of death?”


    Mabel smiled faintly. “Whates around goes around. People who have ended countless lives like us


    should understand that we must return what we owe.” She paused before continuing, “I actually


    thought about it before that it was never my destiny to achieve Divine Master. You''re the one who


    changed my life. Since I met you and consumed the two Heaven Pills, I managed to break through and


    enter the Divine Master realm. However, tribtion came to me at the same time. I guess what


    happened to me now was my tribtion. If I can get through it, I will definitely seed in the future.


    Otherwise, it''s fate.”


    “Tribtion!” Jonathan heaved a sigh upon hearing that.


    The moment spiritual creatures aplish their cultivation is also the time they break through their


    destiny. It''s against the Heavenly Law. Eventually, a lightning tribtion wille to them. Ah... Could it


    really be that Mabel is facing her tribtion?


    “I believe you will get better.” He told Mabel. The man was full of confidence when he spoke.


    After saying that, he assured her, “I will do my best to protect you.”


    Mabel was not only moved by his words but also felt something peculiar about destiny at the same


    time.


    It was as if she was given a chance to live.


    I''m supposed to die in the current tribtion. However, Jonathan''s protected me, giving me hope. With


    that thought in mind, she drank her wine in one gulp and said meaningfully, “Thank you.”


    Jonathan only shed her a faint smile, saying nothing.


    The two then began to stare at the scenery outside.


    Unfortunately, they could see nothing as the sky was already dark.


    “If you and I be Divine Masters, our primordial spirit will roam in the air or even travel in the void


    together. Don''t you think it''s a wonderful thing?” Mabel suddenly said.


    A sudden insight came to her, and she thought it would nevere true.


    Jonathan was slightly taken aback. It was then his eyes lit up, and his ears perked up.


    I can neither have such a dream with Jennifer nor Catherine and Amber. But it''s possible with Mabel


    because we''re on the same path—not a couple but friends. The world between friends somehow will


    be much wider.


    Having that thought in mind, he said, “Such a day will definitelye.”


    Hearing that, Mabel smiled in response.


    “Mabel, I suddenly have an idea. It may sound immature, but I''ve already decided to do it. I believe


    sess depends on the effort we put in, after all,” Jonathan added.


    Mabel, momentarily stunned, became interested in the topic and asked, “What is it?”


    “I need your help in this,” he said.


    “Well, I''ll do it as long as it''s within my capabilities,” Mabel answered.


    “I''m thinking that if we continue relying on the pills from Divine Realm andpleting the missions to


    receive them, the progress is too slow.”


    “Don''t tell me you n to get involved in alchemy.” Mabel made a guess.


    “Is there a problem? If Divine Emperor can do it, so can we.”


    Mabel smiled bitterly at his response. “I''m very impressed with your courage. Back then, Divine


    Emperor had three senior disciples under him. They were known as Lance, Magnus, the Asura


    Emperor, and Tristan, the Demon Emperor. Three of them were the top at that time. Divine Emperor


    relied on them to gather talents from around the world, went through a lot of hardship to create Divine


    Realm, and set up the alchemy department to achieve today''s feat. It''s way too hard for you to follow


    his path.”


    “Everything is in our own hands. No matter how hard it is, I''m going to give it a try,” Jonathan insisted.


    Upon hearing that, Mabel looked at him. Her face turned grim as she spoke. “Are you serious?”


    “Of course!” Jonathan replied eagerly with a nod.


    “How do you want to start it then? It''s too hard to begin.”


    “I know it''s hard. And once we start to get involved in alchemy, without a strong backing, we will


    probably get ourselves killed and benefit someone else.”


    “I''m d you know that. I think I know what you need my help with now. You want me to use the


    national power, are you?” asked Mabel.


    “Yes!” Jonathan answered without hesitation.


    However, Mabel shook her head. “There''s no way I can do that.”


    Jonathan''s expression slightly changed at her words. “Why?”


    Mabel exined, “The country is indeed capable of protecting you, but I''m only an insignificant person


    in the eyes of the big shots. So what if you have put in a lot of effort to set up the alchemy department?


    When the timees, everything will no longer be under our control.”


    Jonathan was stunned, as he had thought of the matter too simply.


    “There are some things that I can''t say too much. In short, you must know that you''ll be caught


    between a rock and a hard ce once you get involved in the system. There''s also a very important


    reason behind this—the country will never agree with you to set up an alchemy department,” Mabel


    said in a deep voice.


    Color instantly drained from Jonathan''s face. “Why?”


    Mabel answered, “In fact, the country has long thought about this issue but never bothered to


    implement it. Do you think there''s no reason behind it?”


    “What is it?” Jonathan promptly asked.


    Mabel said, “First, alchemy itself is difficult. We need a special furnace, and finding one is not easy.


    Second, alchemy needs materials. Again, it''s not easy to source the materials. Even the country itself


    faces difficulties looking for some materials in the elixir pill. The third reason is the most crucial. The


    existence of elixir pills is actually against the Heavenly Law, and setting up an alchemy department


    may bring misfortune to the country. Imagine if elixir pills became a norm, and those in power could live


    longer. Isn''t this disrupting the bnce of nature?”
