I Am Unstoppable Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Chapter 79 Returning To Horington
Amber’s father, Robert Johnson, looked like he was forty years old. In actual fact, he was fifty years old. Robert was wearing a white shirt. He was in good shape and was not chubby at all. Most wealthy tycoons had big bellies, after all. He exuded a sense of superiority from the way he carried himself.
Robert was a city official in Jadeborough, a city that was near Horington. Although Jadeborough was not as densely populated as Horington, it still had a population of three million people. Robert was also relatively young compared to the other city officials. He had a lot of room for improvement.
“Mr. Johnson, Amber’s condition has stabilized.” Jonathan faced Robert, looking a little remorseful. After all, Amber only got seriously hurt because she followed him. He continued, “She’s in a coma now, possibly because she got hypnotized. I know a way to wake her up, but I need to bring her back to Horington first.”
Robert stared at Jonathan with a complicated look on his face. Amber, my precious little girl. I’ve always pampered you since you were young. You were always very obedient, though, so you made me feel at ease.
It was safe to say that Robert was in a very bad mood. His daughter was in a coma, and he was very angry. However, he was an influential figure in the city. There was no way he would allow himself to take his anger out on Jonathan. As Jonathan reassured Robert that Amber would be all right, Robert asked in a low tone, “What is the situation?” He paused before continuing, “I’ve heard about what kind of person Zachary is. He used to be a major-general, so his marksmanship is quite good. I knew that Amber could never have caught him.”
Jonathan could sympathize with Robert. I know exactly what I’d do if it was my own daughter who was lying on the bed. I’d kill the guy responsible for doing this to her!
Since he did not want to hide anything from Robert, Jonathan immediately started explaining everything from their confrontation with Felicia from Golden Years. He admitted that he and Amber were friends and that he had brought Amber to break through Felicia’s force field, and so on and so forth.
Robert had already known about the situation regarding Golden Years. Amber was once heartbroken when her colleague died there. Robert also paid attention to that incident before. Unfortunately, despite his authority, he could not do anything about Golden Years.
“How foolish!” Robert could not help but shout when Jonathan told him that he broke into Golden Years with Amber.
Jonathan smiled cheekily. He responded, “Mr. Johnson, what I’m about to tell you next might be even harder to believe. But trust me when I say that everything I’m telling you is true.”
Robert stated in a serious tone, “Tell me, then!”
Jonathan did not intend to hide anything, hence why he proceeded to tell Robert everything from start to finish. He even talked about how they were caught by the Crimson Onyx Sect. However, Jonathan avoided talking about the Great Tribulation and the Chosen One. He simply said that he had been kept in a building where there was Percy’s stuff.
Robert’s eyes widened. He had been in power for many years, so he had seen more than his fair share of strange things. However, he still found it hard to believe what Jonathan was saying.
When Jonathan finished speaking, Robert’s face softened a bit. He asked, “Having said all that, I take it that you were the one who saved Amber? Do I owe you my thanks?”
Jonathan did not want to take the credit for that. He quickly replied, “Mr. Johnson, Amber got in danger precisely because of me. I didn’t take good care of her. I take full responsibility for that.”
Robert looked at Jonathan intensely. This young man is very honest, brave, and responsible.
Robert had witnessed a lot of hypocrisy for networking purposes in the political world. All the young people I’ve met would always butter their words as they try to climb the political ladder. Those who have fathers in high positions of power tend to be very arrogant. This is the first time I’ve met a young person like Jonathan.
Robert always felt that his daughter was different from other girls. He often worried about her marriage prospects. I always thought that ordinary people were not worthy of my daughter. But Jonathan? This young man seems very suitable for my daughter!
Robert’s mind had changed on the spot. However, he kept a placid expression on his face.
Jonathan did not know this, though. He was a little uneasy while standing in front of Robert. His daughter ended up like this because of me! I can’t justify that no matter how hard I try, nor do I want to!
“It’s a miracle that Amber is all right,” Robert stated after remaining silent for a long while.
When Jonathan heard that, he finally understood that Robert did not blame him for what happened. He could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
During the afternoon, Robert left to attend to an urgent matter. Since Amber’s condition was stable, Robert asked Jonathan to take good care of her. He also said to call him if anything happened.
Jonathan gave his word.
While Robert had left, his secretary stayed behind to take care of Amber.
Robert’s secretary was a man in his thirties who was calm and collected. Alexander Gilbert was his name.
Alexander was very polite to Jonathan.
The two of them spent three days together at Kenfort Hospital. During that period, Jonathan took the opportunity to call Jennifer on his phone and update her that he was safe and sound.
Meanwhile, Amber was in a very stable condition. The only issue was that she was still in a coma, which made everyone feel helpless.
Jonathan made up his mind to bring Amber back to Horington. He told Alexander about his plans. Alexander immediately informed Robert about it. After receiving Robert’s approval, Alexander finally told Jonathan that he was allowed to bring Amber back to Horington.
Jonathan nodded in response.
Alexander then proceeded to arrange a private jet to Horington.
At five o’clock in the evening, they boarded the private jet and flew back to Horington.
Zachary had been kicked out by the people from Yaleview’s Department of National Security two days ago.
Jonathan did not know where fate would lead Zachary to. Regardless, he would not worry about him.
They reached Horington at seven o’clock at night. The sun had set not too long ago.
The private jet landed at Horington’s international airport.
Jonathan did not tell anyone about his plans as his number one priority was to bring Amber over to Golden Years.
I didn’t even tell Mr. Gilbert about this. Only Mr. Johnson and I know.
“I’m going to bring Amber to an old doctor who practices traditional medicine. Mr. Gilbert, you should find a place to rest for a while. I’ll contact you as soon as Amber wakes up. How does that sound?” Jonathan said to Alexander, hoping to convince him to say yes.
Alexander had been ordered by Robert to always trust Jonathan. And so, he smiled and nodded. “Okay,” he replied.
Alexander had already arranged for a car outside the airport for Jonathan’s use. Jonathan carried Amber into the car and got into the driver’s seat. He bade Alexander goodbye before rolling up the car window and driving off.
It was currently half-past seven. Jonathan parked the car in front of Golden Years. He carried Amber over to the entrance and kicked the door open.
The Golden Years force field has changed a lot since I last came here!
That was what Jonathan could immediately feel upon entering the bar.
What changed exactly? The fact that it’s no longer as dim, of course. I hated that about it. This is a step in the right direction.
The whole bar was still quite dark, though. When Jonathan carried Amber inside, the door behind them closed itself. Jonathan proceeded to gently lay Amber onto the ground. He then shouted, “Felicia! Show yourself!”
The moment Jonathan finished his words, a wave of energy gathered in front of him. Then, the energy morphed and became Felicia.
The color immediately drained from Felicia’s face as soon as she saw them. She asked, “What happened to her?”
Jonathan answered, “To be honest, I don’t know either. She might have been hypnotized by Gabriel. I can’t seem to wake her up no matter what I do. That’s why I came here to ask for your help.”
Felicia gave Jonathan a curious look. She asked, “You met Gabriel?”
Jonathan replied in a low voice, “Oh, I’ve met Gabriel all right. I nearly got killed by him! It’s a pretty long story, though. You should go and examine Amber first.”
Felicia nodded her head in response. She was not an unreasonable person, after all.
Her whole body suddenly turned into a greenish gas, which entered Amber’s mind directly.
Her ability was kind of like Monkey King.
Jonathan kept focused. He was both nervous and afraid that Amber might not wake up after all.
Fortunately, Felicia made it out after a short while. At the same time, Amber let out a cough. Her face twitched for a bit before her eyes started to open.
Jonathan could not help but feel overjoyed. He shouted, “Amber!”
It took a while before Amber regained her senses. She looked at Jonathan in confusion, asking, “Are we all dead?”
Jonathan rolled his eyes. “Of course not!”
Amber wanted to sit up on the bed, but her body had no strength. Jonathan proceeded to help her sit up.
It was at that very moment that Amber noticed Felicia. Then, she looked around in confusion. She immediately asked in shock, “Did we all make it out of there? What exactly happened?” As she said
that, she suddenly coughed heavily.
Some of the blood clots inside Amber had not been removed yet. Although it was not life-threatening, it was still affecting her health quite seriously.
Jonathan heaved a huge sigh of relief at Amber’s waking up. He sat down cross-legged and replied, “Why do you make it sound like we had to do it secretly? I openly carried you out of there.” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“What?” Amber was shocked. “But I remember that we were both caught! What exactly happened after that?” she asked.
Jonathan looked at Amber and Felicia. He replied, “All right. Since the two of you are here, I might as well tell you guys what happened.”
Jonathan gave the whole story this time around.
He started talking about the Chosen One and the Great Tribulation. He also narrated how he was thrown by Gabriel into the alchemy furnace like a lump of coal. The storytelling went on until it reached the part where Percy showed up.
Amber listened to Jonathan in shock and disbelief. It all sounds so strange!
When Felicia heard that Percy was still thinking about her, she could no longer hold back her tears.
“And that’s about it.” Jonathan continued, “To think that Gabriel managed to get away from me. I guess fate has something in store for him. He probably wouldn’t die even if he fell off a cliff.”
Felicia firmly believed in what Jonathan had told them. I can practically smell the scent of Supreme Nascent Pill on him. Also, it would be impossible for Jonathan to have made up this whole story.
Both Jonathan and Amber helped Felicia through thick and thin. Felicia also had a heart, after all. She felt immense gratitude toward the two of them.
“Thank you, both of you!” Felicia thanked with all her heart.
Both Jonathan and Amber noticed how appreciative Felicia was. They could not help but smile in relief. All their hard work and sacrifices were worth it in the end.
Amber suddenly started coughing heavily again.
Jonathan patted her on her back to soothe her.
He then asked Felicia, “So, what’s your plan after this?”
Felicia looked back at Jonathan. “I want to return to the Crimson Onyx Sect. Can you help me with that?” she asked.
Jonathan looked very happy when he replied, “Do you still need to ask? I came to chase you out of here! Of course I’ll help you return!” That was a very frank answer.
Felicia could not help but smile. “Thank you.” Despite what he said, however, Felicia knew that Jonathan was a warmhearted and brave person.
