I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 317

Jonathan's expression changed suddenly, and he jumped in alarm. “No way! If we do that, are we not sending the cacodemon to die? The people in Thymion are terrified of cacodemons. They wouldn't treat it with mercy and compassion.”

“However, that's our only option. Neither of us is capable of dealing with the cacodemon now, so we have to send it to Thymion,” Jeff uttered.

Jonathan ignored Jeff and turned toward Mabel. “Do you think so as well?”

Mabel smiled bitterly and answered, “Chief Yount and I are working for the country, Jonathan. We can't act on our emotions like you do.”

Fury filled Jonathan's eyes when he said, “I'll bring the cacodemon away!”

Jeff voiced out. “Jonathan, please don't act rashly. We're having a discussion, aren't we? If you can't accept my suggestion, we can just forget about it. However, there's one condition. You must take the cacodemon with you and leave Chanaea. You can also bring it to a tropical jungle in another country. I think it's probably going to live more comfortably there.” Jeff paused and continued, “Having said that, I don't think that'll do the cacodemon any good. Everyone has their own fate, and the same can be said about cacodemons. No matter how hard we try, there are things we can never change.”

Jonathan calmed down upon hearing that. “Okay. Please make the arrangement for me. I'll leave with the cacodemon tonight.”

“Sure!” Jeff nodded.

Jonathan then rose to his feet and left Jeff's office. I can't blame Jeff and Mabel. After all, everyone has their own opinion and reason for doing things differently. Still, I'm not comfortable with the fact that even Mabel agreed with the suggestion of getting rid of the cacodemon.

Jonathan went back to Zoe's bedroom and saw the cacodemon nestling in the woman's arms the moment he entered the room.

The cacodemon got out of bed when it saw Jonathan entering the bedroom and called him “Daddy” in a loving manner. In response, Jonathan picked the cacodemon up. He would always remember the conversation the cacodemon had with the Lone Demon Beast before the latter died. The cacodemon and the Lone Demon Beast were both mystical creatures, so they were incredibly insightful. When the Lone Demon Beast said the cacodemon shouldn't be saving humans, the cacodemon stated that it would never let anyone harm its mother. Jonathan was touched because of the cacodemon's dedication.

Since the cacodemon is willing to do whatever it takes to protect me, I should also save it and forget about the fact that it's a monster and whether it's capable of causing chaos. Zoe's eyes brimmed with gratefulness when she saw Jonathan. “Thank you for saving my son, Mr. Lawson.”

Jonathan flashed her a faint smile and replied, “Well, it saved me. Perhaps this is fate.”

Elated, Zoe said, “Nevertheless, I'm just happy it's still alive.”

“But Zoe, I need to bring the cacodemon away,” Jonathan uttered. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Zoe's face went pale when she heard that. “Why? Where are you bringing it to?”

“Please remember the fact that cacodemons can't coexist with humans. Neither Thymion nor our country would let the matter slide. Hence, I'm planning to bring it to a tropical forest overseas. That's where it belongs.”

“But...” Obviously, Zoe was reluctant to part with the cacodemon.

“As long as it's still alive, you guys can still see each other,” Jonathan said.

Zoe knew what Jonathan said made sense. She then embraced the cacodemon and nodded, agreeing with Jonathan's suggestion.

Although the cacodemon couldn't speak fluently, it was smart, and it had amazing comprehension skills.

Jonathan couldn't really trust Jeff, so he brought the cacodemon out of Pearl Building and made it put on some clothes and a cap. That way, no one would notice anything peculiar about it.

Right before Jonathan started driving, Mabel rushed up to them and sat in the back seat.

The moment Mabel got into the car, the cacodemon bared its teeth ferociously.

Jonathan didn't utter a word when he saw that.

Instead, Mabel took the initiative to say, “Jonathan, I'll arrange a private flight to a tropical jungle in Norham in the afternoon. Military operations are frequently carried out there, so Thymionians wouldn't dare to go there. It's safe.”

“Thanks!” Jonathan answered.

“Now, let's go back to my place first,” Mabel uttered.

“Okay.” Jonathan had no problem with that, and he started the car.

Mabel didn't bother explaining herself because she knew why Jonathan was mad.

At five in the afternoon, Jonathan and Mabel brought the cacodemon to Yaleview International Airport.

Jonathan and the cacodemon boarded the private plane, and Mabel quickly followed suit.

“Why are you here as well?” Jonathan was surprised.

Mabel merely smiled faintly in response. “The cacodemon is my life savior, so I need to send it off.”

Hearing that, Jonathan went silent.

Shortly after, the private plane took off and soared into the sky. There, the passengers saw the mesmerizing horizon that showcased the beauty of their home country.

“Silly!” Mabel suddenly knocked on Jonathan's head.

Jonathan was baffled.

Mabel laughed and said, “Did you really think I was that heartless? The cacodemon saved my life! How

could I agree to let the Thymionians kill it?”

Still confused, the cacodemon and Jonathan stared blankly at Mabel.

“Jeff isn't a bad guy, but he has his principles. There was no way we could change his mind. He had already discreetly contacted the officials in Thymion. He was planning to send us straight to the enemies. Although he didn't tell me his plans, I knew what was on his mind,” Mabel explained.

Jonathan drew back in shock. What the f*ck? And I thought I was smart! I'm practically as innocent as a lamb in front of Jeff.

“Are you saying that you were pretending to be on Jeff's side?” Jonathan was over the moon when he realized what was going on. I would be so sad if Mabel turned out to be a cruel and heartless person. If she was, that would mean we would never see eye to eye.

“Of course!” Mabel responded, annoyed.

At that moment, the cacodemon was less hostile toward Mabel.

“What should we do now?” Jonathan asked.

“I made the arrangement for this private plane, so I've already set the course. We're going to Olswick instead of Norham,” Mabel replied.

Jonathan let out a sigh of relief.

A second later, Jonathan asked, “Have you considered the consequences, though? If the cacodemon harms Thymion in the future, we're going to get punished.”

“I've already gotten a second chance at life. Why should I be afraid?” Mabel smiled.

“Okay, then. I'm relieved,” Jonathan answered and smiled.

Mabel seemed emotional as she said, “After experiencing such a fatal catastrophe, I came to understand a lot of things. Human lives are fragile and short. Instead of trying to achieve things in life, it's better to just live life to the fullest. Prior to this, I lived with too many constraints. Whatever I did back then, I did it for the country. From now on, however, I'm going to live my life as easily and freely as possible. When I'm going through difficulties, my friends are the ones helping me and showing me concern. If I die, the ones that would cry for me are my friends and family. In other words, I know what's important in life now.”

Jonathan smiled in response. That has always been my perspective on life. So, we're like-minded people.

Still wearing a smile on his face, Jonathan said, “I thought you were so touched that you were going to marry me!”

Mabel rolled her eyes at him and snapped, “You wish!”

Jonathan chuckled. After their lighthearted banter, the atmosphere became relaxed and harmonious once more.

The cacodemon was tilting its head and darting its gaze around when it looked at Mabel. At that

moment, it was no longer hostile toward her. In fact, there was even a hint of affection in its gaze, and it allowed her to pat its head.

The cacodemon appeared to be a sensitive creature, and it could sense if a person was sincere toward it or not.

At the same time, Jonathan's mood had lightened up. “I find something extremely odd. The cacodemon is little, but it can transform into something that's around the same size as the Lone Demon Beast,” he uttered. This is real life instead of a movie scene. How is something like that possible?

He then asked Mabel, “Where do you think it's hiding its huge body? Also, the Lone Demon Beast transformed into a humanoid figure when it was dying.”

Mabel couldn't help but flash a wry smile. “I have no idea! You should ask Jeff that question because I think he knows more about it.”

Jonathan was disappointed.

Right then, the cacodemon reached out its hand, and it wanted to touch Jonathan's forehead.

However, Jonathan was too tall for it to do so.

Seeing that, Jonathan picked the cacodemon up.

Subsequently, the cacodemon touched Jonathan's forehead with its finger, and all of a sudden, Jonathan experienced some changes in his mind. Right then, it was as if the cacodemon and Jonathan were somehow connected.

A few moments later, comprehension dawned on Jonathan. He then put the cacodemon back down and exclaimed, “Oh, I see!”

Mabel's interest was piqued, and she asked, “What just happened?”

“The body structure of cacodemons is different from that of us humans. Every cell in them is mutated, and a lot of those cells are similar to Beatrix's spatial ring because they have spaces within them. When we cultivate, our cells will gradually absorb nutrients. That's how our bodies grow stronger. However, we can never be physically as strong as these creatures. That's a limitation set by Heavenly Law. Therefore, we can only develop our minds to form mana and achieve the state of having infinite mana.” Jonathan paused and continued, “Things are different with cacodemons. A cacodemon cultivates its body, and when it reaches a certain level, it'll become unimaginably strong. If needed, it can also mutate all the cells in its body. Once the cells are mutated, the cacodemon will become stronger physically. Meanwhile, both the cacodemon and Lone Demon Beast can transform into humanoid figures. This is because...”
