Chapter 326
After spending two whole hours working on the Golden Divine Beads, Mabel could clearly feel that her body had become one with them.
Whoa... This is such a strange feeling! It is as though the Golden Divine Beads have become a part of my body!
The Golden Divine Beads themselves contained energy, so Mabel could easily kill her enemies by manipulating the beads with her mind.
Because Mabel's mana was fairly powerful, it amplified the power of the Golden Divine Beads even further.
While waiting for Mabel to fuse with the Golden Divine Beads, Jonathan had received the weapons that Mabel requested from the Department of National Security.
Upon examining the compact-sized revolver, he saw a total of six explosive mercury bullets inside, making it an extremely deadly weapon.
After examining the weapons, Jonathan kept them away and continued waiting for Mabel.
“How did it go?” he asked when he saw Mabel open her eyes.
Mabel simply flashed him a faint smile as she moved all thirty-six of the Golden Divine Beads with her mind, causing them to levitate in front of Jonathan.
“Whoa... This is unbelievably incredible!” he exclaimed in shock.
“These magical weapons may be light in weight, but they sure pack a powerful punch. It's similar to how a tiny remote-controlled airplane can fly in the sky as easily as a full-sized airplane.”
Jonathan nodded in response.
Mabel then joined the Golden Divine Beads together to form a bracelet, and the bracelet soon landed gently in her palm.
“These Golden Divine Beads belong to Master Gardner of Daphunova Temple, so you had better keep them safe and hidden. If anyone finds out that you have them in your possession, they will know that we're the ones who killed him,” Jonathan reminded her.
Mabel nodded. “Don't worry; I know what I'm doing. Anyway, I'm feeling a little hungry. Could you go buy us some food? I'll take a shower in the meantime.”
“Sure thing!” Jonathan replied with a nod.
Huh... Why do I find myself getting a little turned on? I know I shouldn't be having such thoughts, but I desire to see her shower... Why are my feelings toward her changing? I used to only see her as a best friend, nothing more. That's why we were able to drink together and aimlessly wander around the streets of Yaleview side by side. Neither of us wishes to take things further because we treasure this friendship of ours. We don't want to taint it with such impure thoughts and feelings, and yet, I find myself starting to lust after her. Why is this happening? Hmm... It probably started when I saw her cleavage on the plane. And then, there's the part where she wrapped her arm around mine. Honestly, it's scary how a person's feelings for another can change in such a strange and uncontrollable manner. A man could have absolutely no feelings toward a woman, only to develop feelings immediately after
having a pleasant dream of said woman. If the woman is charming and alluring in the dream, it's very much possible for the man to fall for her after having that dream.
With that in mind, Jonathan left the hotel to go buy some food. He knew the feelings of lust would only intensify if he saw Mabel showering.
Jonathan hated himself for having such shameless thoughts about Mabel, especially when they had yet to confirm if the cacodemon was still alive.
Mapleton had an abundance of delicacies, but most of the food revolved around curry.
Jonathan spotted a decent restaurant shortly after stepping out of the hotel building. He was about to enter the restaurant when his phone started ringing in his pocket.
Jonathan frowned in confusion when he saw Mabel's name on the caller ID.
“Hurry up and buy me a box of bottled water!” Mabel said awkwardly when the line got through.
“What happened?” Jonathan asked.
“I was halfway through my shower when the water stopped all of a sudden. I'm covered in foam from head to toe right now,” Mabel replied.
The first thing that came to Jonathan's mind when he heard that was Mabel's current state.
She's not the type who would bring her phone into the shower, so she must've stepped out of the bathroom to make this call. If that's the case, then that means she's currently standing in the room completely naked while speaking to me on the phone! Oh, that must be a real sight for sore eyes! Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Resisting the urge to laugh out loud, Jonathan replied, “All right, I'll go buy you some water right away.”
After hanging up the phone, Jonathan casually made his way into the restaurant and bought them dinner before making a trip to the convenience store.
He then returned to the hotel room about twenty minutes later with dinner and two boxes of bottled water.
That was when Jonathan realized another problem.
The door to their hotel room was locked, and he had left the key card inside.
Therefore, there were only two ways for Jonathan to get in.
He could either have Mabel open the door for him, or knock it open using Force.
However, the second option would result in a damaged doorknob, and that would make the Thymion authorities suspicious.
Having come this far, they couldn't afford to screw everything up by making such a simple mistake.
With no other options left, Jonathan had no choice but to knock on the door.
“How am I supposed to open the door?” Mabel exclaimed from inside the bathroom.
Her voice aroused him, and he almost couldn't suppress the burning desire within his heart.
It took him every ounce of willpower to suppress his lust as he deliberately asked, “Would you prefer if I destroy the lock with Force instead?”
He was actually feeling nervous about the whole situation, so he tried his best to conceal it by sounding helpless and conflicted.
For some reason, he found it a lot harder to do so than it was in the past.
Mabel was a cautious person, so she freaked out when she heard Jonathan mention breaking the lock. “We can't do that either. Hmm... Ugh, fine. Just give me a minute.”
Jonathan's eyes lit up with excitement as he imagined how she would look like when opening the door.
He felt like a person who was getting excited about unwrapping a mysterious birthday present.
It wasn't long before he heard the sounds of footsteps, and the door opened a few seconds later.
The first thing that Jonathan saw was Mabel standing in front of him with a huge towel wrapped around her body.
Her hair and the fair skin on her exposed shoulders were all covered in foam.
The mere thought of her being completely naked underneath that towel got Jonathan's blood rushing to his loins instantly.
Mabel slammed the door shut immediately after Jonathan handed her the bottled water.
Jonathan found it hard to keep his lust in check as he waited outside.
Mabel took about thirty minutes to wash the foam off before opening the door for Jonathan.
This time, she had her hair wrapped in a towel and was dressed in a red, figure-hugging shirt and a
pair of jeans.
She had a rather huge bust, and that tight-fitting outfit only served to highlight her bust size even more.
Jonathan had never lusted over her body in the past, and neither did all of those men whom she had worked with.
If anything, the only feelings they had toward her were that of fear and respect.
It wasn't until that moment that Jonathan truly noticed Mabel's feminine charm.
After having dinner together, Mabel said, “Try to get some rest tonight. My men are keeping a close eye on our target. They'll inform me if they notice anything.”
Jonathan nodded. “I think I need a shower too.”
He said that because the hotel's water supply had been restored.
After all, it was impossible for a fancy hotel such as this to be out of water for too long.
Mabel rolled her eyes at him. “Come on! You're a man, aren't you? It's okay if your body stinks a little! Now, go sleep on the couch!”
“I'm sleeping on the couch?” Jonathan asked with a slightly disappointed look on his face.
“Duh! You don't expect me to sleep on the couch, do you?” Mabel retorted.
Jonathan let out a chuckle. “Well, I don't mind sharing a bed with you.”
Mabel stared at Jonathan in shock when she heard that.
She wasn't expecting him to make such a joke, but she figured she was probably just overthinking things. Not wanting to make a mountain out of a molehill, she pulled the blanket over her shoulder and switched off the lights. “Good night.”
The room was instantly plunged into pitch-black darkness.
Jonathan felt a little awkward as he realized he had spoken without thinking again.
Eventually, he decided to lie down on the couch anyway.
Thanks to the air-conditioning, the temperature in the room was comfortably cool.
After taking some time to rid his mind of lustful thoughts, Jonathan's focus shifted back toward the cacodemon. Just thinking about the cacodemon was enough to fill his heart with anxiety.
It was nearly impossible for others to understand his concern and attachment toward the cacodemon.
Jonathan had considered seeking the help of Richard and Beatrix, but decided against it when he considered the severity of the situation.
To get Richard involved in something so serious would only result in worse consequences.
Besides, Galad's cultivation level surpassed that of Richard's, so he wouldn't be of much help anyway.
To rescue the cacodemon, one would need to rely on one's brain instead of brawn.
Not wanting to give Richard any more trouble than he already had, Jonathan gave up on the idea of asking Richard for help.
It was around midnight when Jonathan finally drifted off to sleep.
The weather was looking great the next morning.
Jonathan woke up when he heard loud music playing outside the window.
He opened his eyes groggily in confusion, only to see Mabel standing in front of the full-length window.
She was still dressed in the same red shirt and jeans, but she had her hair tied into a ponytail, which made her look a lot more attractive.
“What are you looking at?” Jonathan asked casually as he got off the couch.
“Come on, let's go downstairs and have a look,” Mabel replied.
Jonathan wasn't sure what she had seen, but she seemed to have made up her mind on the matter.
Seeing as she had already stepped out of the hotel room, he decided to do as told and followed behind her.
Due to his pure body, it didn't really matter if he brushed his teeth or not in the morning as he would
never suffer from bad breath.
As Mabel walked in front of him, Jonathan's gaze fell upon the curve of her plump buttocks inside those skin-tight jeans.
He got so horny that he had to shake his head to clear his thoughts as they left the hotel.
Upon stepping into the streets outside, Jonathan was shocked to hear the hotel playing the national anthem of Thymion.
Jonathan then noticed that all the locals in the area, including the pedestrians and hotel staff, were all standing still and facing the Thymion flag while wearing serious expressions.
It was a very solemn and sacred moment that brought all the locals together.
