Chapter 235

Jonathan continued, “Besides, the women you like must be very impressive individuals, no?”

Lance smiled placidly. “You're right. In fact, I can tell that you're deeply troubled by these things. Sinceyou've asked me, I'll let you in on something.”

Jonathan sat tight and listened intently.

“When I was young, I faced the same troubles as you. We weren't born unfaithful. If I weren't LanceCadman back then, I would've done what other commoners did. I would've only married one womanand led a quiet life. Of course, I'm not saying that just because I'm capable, I deserve to have morewives. It's just because, as humans, we're not capable of refusing love. In fact, the power of love islimitless. As I've said, if I were a commoner, I wouldn't have to trouble myself with romance. Ashumans, we have to live by the rules of society. If I were to do that, how could I have a harem?

“That being said, I was facing a lot of trouble, and I held a lot of grudges. I knew I had to strengthenmyself so that I could protect my wife and my family. However, I met a lot of people and did a lot ofthings. From time to time, I would get involved with other women. At first, I tried to suppress my feelingsbecause I didn't want to betray my wife. Yet, the more I tried to suppress it, the worse I felt. When Iwasn't feeling great, I couldn't cultivate. Meanwhile, my enemies were getting stronger every day. Itwas a tough decision to make, but for my family and my wife, I chose to fall in love with other women.

“How you want to deal with your feelings depends on what kind of person you want to be. If you want tomake some money and spend your life with your wife and kids, you can. However, if you want toachieve great things during the Great Tribulation and rise above others, you can't suppress yourfeelings. Otherwise, you're going to end up hurting yourself and others. Think about who you want tobe, and you'll have your answer. Society has its rules. Likewise, the Divine Realm also has its rules. A

commoner will always live by the rules. If you want to stand out, you must bend the rules and challengethem. For example, a rich man can have a glass of wine worth millions, but that will be impossible for acommoner.”

Upon hearing that, Jonathan felt as though he had understood something, but he couldn't tell what itwas exactly.

“I actually feel a little sad now,” Lance added.

Without missing a beat, Jonathan asked, “Why is that?”

“I can sense that I have a long life ahead of me, but my family is growing old. I can't accept the fact thatthey're dying. It seems that they're just passersby in this long life of mine.”

“You're sad because you want to live a long life, aren't you?”

Lance smiled and posed a question instead. “Live a long life? As in eternal life?”

Jonathan didn't dare to ask further.

Seeing that, Lance uttered, “All right. I've already said what I need to say. Now, it's your turn.”

Jonathan drank a gulp of beer and started telling his story.

For some reason, Jonathan felt he could trust Lance and be open with him. It was as if they were closefriends.

Perhaps it was because Lance exuded a warm and gentle aura.

Jonathan started off by telling Lance about his background. After that, he told Lance about how hismaster had nurtured him and how he had trained on the battlefields in Smealand, and then returned toHorington to protect Yasmin.

Jonathan felt he didn't need to hide anything from Lance. He even told Lance about liking Jennifer andpeeking at her when she was showering.

He also told Lance how he was forced to join the Divine Realm and how he had married Catherine.Then, he told Lance about looking for King Sergiu's treasures and how he had got his hands on the rawstone.

When he was done, two hours had passed.

Lance paid close attention to Jonathan's story.

After Jonathan was done talking, Lance asked, “Why did you tell me about your raw stone? Aren't youafraid that I might snatch it from you? You should know that the Holy Chest is capable of creating afive-dimensional space, right? That shows how much mana the raw stone holds. For smart people likeme, that's a valuable treasure...”

Jonathan was stunned for a while. He then smiled and whipped out the raw stone. “Mr. Cadman, if youwant it, I can give it to you. You don't have to snatch it from me!”

“You're truly something. Despite how valuable the raw stone is, it's also going to cause you trouble.

Remember that a person's treasures can arouse the envy of others. I would suggest you keep ithidden. You should only take it out and use it when you have enough mana to activate it in the future.”

“What? I need mana to activate this raw stone?”

“Of course. Mana is a strong spiritual energy. Like signals, you can only communicate and transmit themana inside if you have powerful signals.”

At that moment, Jonathan had an epiphany. “Since I can't use it now, Mr. Cadman, perhaps I shouldlend it to you first.”

Lance waved his hands dismissively. “That's not necessary. Although that raw stone is a good item,fate has brought us together. I can't possibly take something of yours as an elder.” In response,Jonathan said, “But—”

“That's enough,” Lance uttered in a serious tone.

Hearing that, Jonathan clamped his mouth shut.

“By the way, you mentioned Yareth. I think I remember him. Back when I was in Yaleview, I had thepleasure of meeting him. He had some questions regarding cultivation techniques, so I ended uphaving a chat with him. Who would've known that I would end up crossing paths with you?”

Jonathan chuckled and replied, “My grandpa has always been proud of having met you. When I return,I'll tell him I've had a deep conversation with you! He's going to be so jealous!”

Lance laughed out loud in response.

After a pause, he uttered, “Also, I need to advise you on something.”

Jonathan immediately sat up straight. “Please go ahead, Mr. Cadman!”

“Regarding your mission to look for King Sergiu's treasures and bring back the Sinai Bible, Gideonsurely knows you've also found the Holy Chest. This raw stone is incredibly important to him, so he'llwant it. However, he's your senior, so he won't snatch with you. After all, the Divine Emperor iswatching. If Gideon ever asks you to be his inner disciple, you must reject him. If you were to becomehis inner disciple, he would have control over your life. By then, you may end up dead if you don't givehim the raw stone.”

Jonathan's heart dropped. He was beginning to realize how much trouble the raw stone could causehim.

Lance added, “Even so, you can't give your raw stone away because it's an opportunity of a lifetime tocome across such a treasure. It's going to serve you tremendously in the future. If you give it away,nothing's going to save you then.” Jonathan nodded. “I'll remember that, Mr. Cadman. Thank you foryour advice.”

Lance waved his hand. “Even if you don't end up as Gideon's inner disciple, he may still try to take itaway from you. You ought to keep your guard up.”

“I will, Mr. Cadman.” Despite his words, Jonathan's heart was still racing wildly. That's only MasterGideon! What if Oswald, Richard, and the others get tempted as well? Whatever happens, I must listento Mr. Cadman. This is my fate. I can't simply give it away. In fact, I must protect it with my life.

The two of them then continued chatting casually.

Jonathan wanted to ask Lance to teach him martial arts. However, he didn't dare to do so. If I did that, itwould seem like I'd planned it all along.

Lance also didn't want to say much about it.

In the end, they both ended up having a glass too many.

At that point, Lance seemed to be overwhelmed by emotions. Perhaps he knew he was going to missthat place dearly.

He said, “What's the earth for if we can't sleep soundly at night? What's food for if we always starve?What are temptations for? Why should there be changes if we're all bound by religious beliefs? Whatare walls for if there's nothing to contain? What is the use of consciousness if everyone is alwaysfoolish? Why was I born if happiness eludes me? Why should I live if I'm just going to keep runningwild? Where did I come from? We're in the same world. We should enjoy each other's company andappreciate the journey together. Why spend a thousand years looking for something undiscoverable?Why don't you just have a great time with me instead? What's the purpose of my existence if I can'thave what I want? Why don't we just forget all about our troubles instead?”

Jonathan listened intently, and he was fascinated. It sounds like Mr. Cadman is telling me to be like himand live my life to the fullest.

Little did Jonathan know Lance was remembering his younger days.

Back then, Lance had been hunted by the leader of the esoteric sect, Torma. It was Linda Reed, a rich

girl, who had hidden Lance away and kept him alive. Consequently, Linda got into trouble whenLance's enemies raped her.

Enraged, Lance ended up murdering countless people to avenge Linda.

After he had done that, he sat in a bar with Linda and said those words to her.

Unlike now, Lance had been youthful and full of life back then.

That was why he was emotional.

After a long while, Jonathan and Lance went to their own rooms to sleep.

When Jonathan woke up the next morning, his gut feeling told him that Lance had left.

He then went to Lance's room and found Lance's bed untouched. Mr. Cadman didn't even sleep! Heleft last night. Where is Mr. Cadman going exactly? Is there even a place he can't go? Why was he sosorrowful? He can't leave Earth, can he? That's impossible, right?
