I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 43 Underling

The police officers shifted their gazes to the youngster standing before them.

They felt a dissonance in him because he wore a suit despite the scorching heat.

Other than that, his emotionless appearance made him look unnatural as if he were a ghost.

The youngster’s existence had horrified everyone in the precinct, and the police officers could no

longer remain calm as usual. After some time, the police officers gathered their courage, then rose to

their feet and approached the youngster with batons and firearms.

One of them even dropped the weapon on the ground due to anxiousness.

“Who are you? What is your purpose here in the precinct?” one of the police officers stammered timidly,

questioning the youngster.

The youngster in the suit stared at the police officer and slowly uttered, “I am here to visit my friend.

Please arrange a meeting for us.”

Although he had said it politely, his tone sounded more like an order than a request.

The officer then questioned, “Who is your friend?”

“His name is Jonathan Lawson,” the youngster replied.

A moment later, he repeated, “Can I see him?”

The officer intended to reject his request. However, when he met the youngster’s cold yet dark gaze, he

blurted, “Y-Yes, you may.”

He immediately regretted after saying it.

The youngster responded with appreciation before the officer could say another word.

Since the officer had promised the youngster’s request, he did not want to go back on his words.

The officer even deluded that the youngster would eliminate him if he refused the request, as he could

tell the youngster exuded a horrible murderous intent.

The other police officers did not have any objections, as they were also afraid of the youngster.

Later, the officer brought the youngster to the holding cell and opened the cell door. The latter then

walked into the cell to meet Jonathan.

The police officers stood outside of the holding cell and stayed guard, just in case of any accidents.

“My friend!” Excitement filled the youngster’s cold eyes the moment he saw Jonathan.

Jonathan looked at the youngster and stood up immediately.

“Rascal, there you are!” he stepped forward and hugged the visitor.

The youngster’s cheeks flushed red when Jonathan hugged him. However, he did not refuse the hug.

Later, Jonathan noticed the blush on the youngster’s face when he let the latter loose, then laughed

and said, “Rascal, you look like a girl with that face! Do you feel shy when I hug you? Don’t fret. I’m

only into women.”

The youngster immediately looked down, appearing to be embarrassed.

Such a scene had made the police officers dumbfounded, as their instincts told them the youngster

was a cruel murderer. However, he seemed to behave well in front of Jonathan.

“Jonathan, why are you here? Let’s get out of here!” he said.

“Not today. You know I can leave this place if I wanted to.”

The youngster was startled when he heard Jonathan’s reply.

Jonathan continued, “I’m here because someone framed me. I’ve summoned you here to help me with

something.”

The youngster immediately responded, “Who do you want me to eliminate this time?”

He spoke with ease while talking about eliminating someone’s life as if it were something normal to

him.

The youngster’s words made the police officers shudder. It appeared their instincts were correct about

his identity as a murderer. However, no one dared perform their duty to arrest him.

Jonathan stared at the youngster and rebuked, “Hey, mind your words! You’re in a precinct. The

officers can arrest you right away if you speak about murdering someone!”

“I will eliminate those who try to arrest me,” the youngster responded in a serious manner.

Jonathan continued, “All right. Let’s cut to the chase. Your mission is to locate Polly. She’ll explain the

whole situation to you, and I believe you’ll know what to do next. It is inconvenient for me to say it out

loud here. You may go now.”

The youngster had talked to Polly on the phone before, so he knew who she was. Hence, he replied,

“Got it. I will depart at once.”

Jonathan nodded and reminded him to be careful. The latter replied with a nod, then turned around and

left the holding cell.

The police officers sent the youngster out of the precinct. As he left, they felt a sense of relief.

After that, they reported back to their duties and notified Amber about the situation in the precinct.

Amber rushed to the precinct immediately upon receiving the report, even though it was already late

night.

After she arrived at the precinct, she checked the footage from the surveillance cameras and watched

the whole interaction between Jonathan and the youngster. Later, she interrogated Jonathan herself in

the interrogation room.

“What kind of shenanigans are you guys planning? Who is that young man?” Amber questioned.

Jonathan glanced at her and responded indifferently, “He is an underling I recruited overseas. He

returned to assist me when he heard I’m in trouble.”

“How is he going to help you?” Amber asked. The surveillance cameras had recorded the footage but

not the sound. Thus, she did not know the context of the conversation between Jonathan and the

youngster. Though, her instinct told her that the youngster was a threat. She questioned Jonathan

about the youngster’s identity, as she was worried that the youngster might conduct a felony, such as a

murder case.

After all, Amber’s responsibility as a policewoman was to fight crimes and stop criminal activities.

With a sigh, Jonathan explained, “Captain Johnson, you are not the Almighty. Don’t feel bad about

yourself if you can’t save the world.”

Upon hearing Jonathan’s words, Amber felt anxious and thundered, “Jonathan, what is your motive?”

Jonathan calmly looked at her and replied, “I only want to live a peaceful and innocent life, and that is

it. If I were proven guilty someday, Leonardo must be the mastermind behind the scheme. Captain

Johnson, I understand your position as a cop. However, I hope the laws won’t only serve to restrict my

freedom of movement and do nothing. I have to help myself if you all can’t give me a hand.”

Jonathan’s words made Amber speechless. A short while later, she responded, “Jonathan, my concern

is there might be no way back for you.”

He chuckled. “Jail time would be waiting for me if I did nothing, and Leonardo would send an assassin

to get rid of me there by then. That is the worst-case scenario. So I guess I have to do something to

turn the tables.”

Again, Amber was rendered speechless.

There was nothing else she could do about Jonathan’s decision. Thus, she stopped asking anymore,

as she understood her actions would lead to no end. At the same time, she realized the reason behind

Jonathan’s decision to protect Yasmin, Jessica, and Jennifer. She knew he was planning to strike

Leonardo without anything holding him back.

With all the thoughts in her mind, she said, “Yasmin and the rest are here in the city. They are now in

my uncle’s house. It is a safe place, so you can stop worrying about them.”

Jonathan asked, “Your uncle? Who might that be?”

“He’s the state standing committee,” Amber notified.

Jonathan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that. The state standing committee’s residence was a

safe location not only because it was a well-guarded area but also because Leonardo would not dare to

raid that place.

A murder case in the state standing committee’s residence would be a focal point of the country. By

that time, the case would be on the authorities’ radar. Once Leonardo became their target, he would

never be able to escape from that.

The government’s power was formidable.

One would never know how many highly skilled agents were in their secret hideout.

It was six o’clock in the morning. Polly noticed a youngster in a black suit appear in her coffee house.

She had rushed over to the coffee house after receiving a call from someone.

The warm morning light shone into the coffee house. However, the youngster’s appearance remained

as cold as an iceberg, void of any emotions.

Polly had her eyes on the youngster. However, she could not tell the peculiar feelings she had for him.

It was because he seemed unpredictable to her.

She wondered why a terrifying youngster like him would call himself Jonathan’s subordinate. Polly

could not help but be impressed with Jonathan, and she thought he was a mysterious man with

unlimited surprises.

“How do I address you, young man?” Polly asked.

“The name is Kieran Black,” the youngster responded in a calming tone. He sat on the chair with his

back straight as though he was in a battle state, which required him to remain vigilant at all times.

Polly responded, “That’s a good name.”

A subtle hint of pride filled Kieran’s eyes when he heard that. “My friend gave me this name,” he

replied.

“Who is your friend?” questioned Polly. She immediately felt dumb after uttering that question, as she

already knew it was Jonathan.

Regardless, Kieran replied, “Jonathan!”

Polly, however, appeared to be surprised. She did not expect a sloppy man like Jonathan to give his

subordinate such a nice name.

Kieran then went straight to the point as he spoke. “Jonathan has sent me here to learn more about the

situation.”

Polly went on and explained, “So this is what happened…”

She immediately explained and unfolded Jonathan’s situation to Kieran. After her speech, she asked,

“So, what is your upcoming plan?”

Kieran ignored her, then stood up abruptly and left the place.

Polly could not help but smile bitterly. She had thought she was a respectable woman. Most men were

afraid of her presence, and they would not even dare to talk about her behind her back. However, after

she met Jonathan and Kieran, she started to doubt her charisma.

Having much to learn about Kieran, Polly got up and decided to visit Jonathan at the precinct.

It was seven o’clock in the morning. The sun shone brightly in the sky.

Polly drove her Audi and stopped in front of the precinct.

Later, she notified the officer on duty that she wished to have a meeting with Jonathan. As Jonathan

was currently under Amber’s protection, the whole precinct knew that he was someone special. Thus,

everyone was kind to him. The officers allowed Polly’s request to visit Jonathan, as she was one of

their close acquaintances.

Meanwhile, in the holding cell, Jonathan was practicing Ultra Sun Moon Mantra.

He could already sense Polly’s presence before she came into the cell.

Polly was wearing a crimson red spaghetti strap top that exposed the smooth complexion of her

delicate collarbone, which made her appear elegant and alluring.

Jonathan’s eyes instantly lit up upon seeing her.

He giggled while muttering, “You look gorgeous, Polly! It would be better if the top’s neckline is lower.”

Polly had no words for Jonathan’s reaction. Instead, she said, “I’m glad that you are still having fun.”

Jonathan chuckled. “It is a man’s nature to stare at beautiful ladies. Seeing a pretty woman like you

would certainly grab my attention. Those without a reaction must be really pathetic!”

A gush of pleasant scent filled the tiny space of the room following Polly’s entrance. “Stop with your

nonsense. Tell me everything about Kieran,” she demanded.

“I already guessed that you’re here for him. Come have a seat, and we’ll talk about it,” Jonathan said

with a cheeky grin.

There was only a bed in the cell. Hence, Jonathan invited Polly to sit on it.

As Polly moved to sit on the bed, Jonathan took a quick glimpse at the former’s upper chest while she

bent down. He managed to sneak a peek at her cleavage from her top’s neckline while standing in front

of her.

She is indeed well-endowed!

Jonathan gulped upon witnessing such a sight.

When Polly noticed Jonathan was looking at her, she sighed while touching her forehead. He is such

an oddball!

She then looked at him and asked jokingly, “Do you want to touch these?”

Her words excited Jonathan, and he replied in an instant, “I would love that!”
