Chapter 363 A Discussion
It was almost May, so the weather in Yaleview was getting sunny.
With the comfortable and bright golden morning sun hanging in the sky, the morning breeze was to diefor.
The flight Simon, Lesley, and Elijah were on was arriving at nine that morning.
Hence, Jonathan borrowed a military jeep from Mabel and went to the international airport to fetch them.
Upon arriving at the airport, Simon and the others saw Jonathan right away.
Despite the crowd, they managed to spot each other easily.
As usual, Simon was wearing a black shirt and an icy expression. He had always been an uptightperson.
Lesley, on the other hand, was smiling warmly. It was important to note that he had achieved the finalstage of Nascent Soul in his cultivation, so he was one step away from reaching Celestial Soul.
Meanwhile, Elijah was still in the middle-stage of Nascent Soul.
“Hi, Simon, Lesley, and Elijah!” Jonathan greeted in excitement. He couldn't help but feel emotional whenhe saw the three of them.
Lesley smiled and gave Jonathan a light punch in the chest.
As for Elijah, he hugged Jonathan and said, “I missed you, Jonathan! Simon and Lesley are boring ashell. They know nothing when I talk to them about girls. Unlike them, Jonathan, you're an expert!”
Jonathan was rendered speechless when he heard that. “Cut it. I'm an innocent and good man.”
Simon and Lesley couldn't hold back their laughter when they heard those words.
After that, Jonathan turned toward Simon and greeted him respectfully, “Hi, Simon!”
Simon merely nodded in response.
Jonathan wasn't bothered because he knew Simon was never one to show his emotions.
With that, they left the airport.
Before they got into the car, Simon ordered, “You're driving, Elijah.”
Elijah was reluctant to drive, but he didn't dare to defy Simon's order.
Seeing that, Lesley laughed and uttered, “Elijah is a bum. He would never comply when I asked him todo something. However, he never dared to do the same to Simon.”
Hearing that, Elijah rolled his eyes and said, “Don't talk badly about me in front of Jonathan, Lesley.”
Lesley laughed out loud in response.
They all then got into the car while Elijah drove.
Jonathan could tell that the trio was closer to each other than before, and their relationship washarmonious. There's nothing I can do about that. Relationships usually grow stronger over time. Sincethey're always together, it's only natural they're close to each other.
With that in mind, Jonathan couldn't help but feel indebted to his companions.
In the car, Simon asked Jonathan, “Jonathan, what's your plan?”
Elijah and Lesley were also interested in hearing Jonathan's answer.
“Throughout this period, I witnessed the Emperor of Chanaea and the Demon Emperor's magnificentmana. They can really use their primordial spirits to traverse Void Domain and see the Void. I think if wecontinue to rely on the Divine Realm and the Spirit Pills of the Divine Realm, we won't be able to matchthem. Let me simplify the situation. If Divine Realm is the boss and we are the employees, then we aren'tever going to get rich by working for it. Therefore, I would like to be the boss myself,” Jonathananswered.
“I don't think that'll do it because it took the Divine Realm a century to get to what it is today.Furthermore, the Divine Emperor has plenty of distinguished disciples. What do we have?” Simonqueried.
“I know it's going to be an uphill battle, but no matter how hard it is, we have to do it. That being said, Idon't have a complete plan yet. Now, I'm looking for a place abroad to set up a base. After that, we'llgrow stronger and figure out the method for alchemy,” Jonathan replied.
“Since you've already made up your mind, I won't say anything further. We're like your brothers, so we'llhelp you. If you want to set up your own base, you're going to need money. I have one billion in mysavings. Take all of it,” Simon responded.
“I can fork out five hundred million,” Lesley quickly chimed in.
“I can contribute eight hundred million,” Elijah voiced.
Touched, Jonathan uttered, “Money isn't the main issue here. I need you guys to join me.”
“That's surely the case. Since you've decided to do that, we'll stick together and get it done,” Simon said.
Jonathan was so moved that his eyes were brimming with tears. With his head lowered, he said, “Thankyou, Simon, Lesley, and Elijah. I know I shouldn't be saying this, but I know I've been selfish with youguys. I'm always asking for things, and I've never repaid you guys once.”
Obviously, Jonathan was getting emotional. Elijah was the first to voice his awkwardness. With achuckle, he said, “Stop it, Jonathan. We're like brothers!”
Those words warmed Jonathan's heart.
“That's right, Jonathan. Don't worry about it,” Lesley said.
“Why did you say something you knew you shouldn't have said?” Simon asked in a flat tone.
“There's something I haven't told anyone. However, I'm going to tell you guys today,” Jonathan uttered.
Simon was slightly surprised to hear that. “What is it?”
“When Edward became a master in the Divine Realm, Master Richard was worried that Edward wasgoing to take revenge on me. Hence, Master Richard gave me the Longevity Pill, and I offered it toEdward.” Jonathan would remember what happened that day for the rest of his life because that was themost humiliating day he had ever had.
Jonathan wouldn't tell Mabel, Beatrix, Catherine, or Jennifer about it because they were all women.
Jonathan was only willing to reveal what had happened because Simon and the others were likebrothers to him.
“That day, Edward rejected the Longevity Pill and said I was bribing a master. Since he was in charge ofdisciplinary matters in the Divine Realm, he targeted me. At that moment, my life was in Edward'shands,” Jonathan revealed.
As he spoke, pain flashed across his eyes.
Simon and the others were strangely quiet.
Jonathan then added, “Edward gave me two options. The first option was to let him kill me there andthen, while the second option was to beg him for mercy. I hesitated for a long time. I actually thoughtabout taking the first option. However, I couldn't bear to do it. I wasn't afraid of death. It's just that Iwanted to kill Edward myself in the future. Therefore, I chose the second option!”
A terrifying look appeared in Simon's eyes as he thundered, “Edward deserves to die!”
Lesley and Elijah were seeing red as well.
In a deep voice, Lesley said, “Jonathan, we're all in it together. Hence, he humiliated us when hehumiliated you.”
Elijah remained quiet because he didn't know what to say.
“That's only one of the things I want to tell you guys!” Jonathan recomposed himself and said, “That'swhy I decided to set up my own base and have my own troops. The second thing is...”
Jonathan told them about the grudge between him and Tristan, the Demon Emperor.
Simon and the rest fell silent once again after hearing what Jonathan said. Now we know why Jonathanis being so persistent. Cruel and bad things just keep happening to him.
They soon arrived at the hotel, and the room was already booked beforehand.
While the men showered and rested, Jonathan ordered food and had it delivered to their room.
As they were eating, Jonathan said, “I don't want to talk about what happened in the past anymore.Besides, there's nothing to talk about. We're men, so we need to endure. I'll have to be responsible. Afterall, great men aren't born great; they are made. If Divine Emperor can do it, so can we.”
Simon nodded. “You're right, Jonathan. We have plenty of luck. Lesley, you, and I are the Chosen Ones.We shouldn't be afraid of anything.”
Hearing that, Elijah scratched his head sheepishly and said, “It seems like I'm the odd one out, and I'mbeing a burden.”
“That's silly! Since the three of us are the Chosen Ones, what makes you think we can't support you?You should just sit back and enjoy the ride!” Lesley laughed.
Elijah chuckled and replied, “That sounds great!” He then paused and continued, “However, I heard thatonly one of the Chosen Ones will live. Will you guys—”
“No!” Simon interrupted. He then swept a glance at Jonathan and Lesley. “I don't mind dying, but ourrelationship will live on forever. I've never been one to share my feelings, but since I consider you guysas my brothers, I'll never let you guys down!”
Upon hearing those words, Jonathan, Lesley, and Elijah exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
With that, Simon uttered, “Carry on, Jonathan.”
“Got it!” Jonathan paused briefly before saying, “Prior to this, I've already done my research. Edward builthis base in Norham, while Jose established his military academy in Saspiuburg. These two locationshave one thing in common. They are both located in small countries that are chaotic and have unstableregimes.”
Elijah couldn't help but ask curiously, “Why did they choose smaller countries?”
“In those places, they can build their own troops and gain control over the local authorities,” Lesleyanswered.
“Yet, the Divine Realm was established in Lostaria. Everyone knows how developed Lostaria is,” Elijahsaid.
“The Divine Realm was established in Lostaria because it's strong enough to intimidate the Anglandurgovernment,” Jonathan explained.
“What are we considered as, then?” Elijah questioned.
“Edward and Jose started off early, so they're now already strong enough to have control over theirrespective locations. If we were to build a base somewhere far away, it would be difficult for us toovercome the local forces. Therefore, I think we should build our base in a prosperous and stablecountry,” Jonathan said.
“However, there will always be someone stronger than us. What if the government in the targetedcountry doesn't allow us to build a base in their territory? After all, we're still not as mighty as the DivineRealm,” Lesley uttered.
If it were before, Jonathan would be full of confidence. After going through all sorts of hardships,however, he understood that there would always be people stronger than him. Indeed, the strength of apowerful country is unimaginable.
Right then, Jonathan flashed a faint smile and said, “Initially, I was worried we wouldn't be able to set upour own base because it's a tough task. I've found a solution, though.”
“Oh?” Simon and Lesley grew interested.
“I have a friend. With this friend of mine, all our problems are solved,” Jonathan replied.
