Chapter 19 The Queen

 

“What now?” Jonathan chuckled and continued, “Didn’t I tell you that this car is expensive? What’s more, I advised you to handle it properly, but you didn’t listen to me. Look! The car owner is coming to look for you now.”

 

“You tricked me!” Borat said angrily.

Jonathan sneered, “Ha! I never told you this car was mine.”

Despite being amused, Jessica and Yasmin suppressed their laughter.

 

At that moment, Polly came to the car with two bodyguards in tow. Fuming with anger, she swept a cursory glance over the car and then fixed her gaze on Borat. “What’s all this?”

 

Before Borat could say anything, Jonathan responded in a hurry, “This is what happened, pretty lady. These men smashed your car. I told them that your Jaguar is very expensive, and they wouldn’t be able to pay you back if it was damaged. However, they didn’t listen to my words and insisted on smashing your car.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Polly turned to look at Borat. She was not an idiot but an intelligent woman.

 

Borat took a deep breath and replied, “Ms. McDaniels, he tricked us into doing this. We thought this was his car.”

Jonathan snorted in disdain. Then, he turned to Polly and said, “No, I didn’t trick them. I happened to pass by your car when I came out, and these guys stopped me. Seeing that they wanted to smash your car, I reminded them not to do it because it’s an expensive vehicle. Alas, they didn’t listen to me, and they became even more insistent once I started stopping them from doing what they wanted.”

Polly looked at Jonathan indifferently before saying to Borat, “You guys were the one who smashed up my car, weren’t you?”

 

Borat wanted to refute, but he could not find the words to do so. Eventually, he nodded in response.

Seeing this, Polly said, “Bravo! No one in Horington has ever dared to lay a finger on my car. You’re the first one. Looks like you’ve really got some guts, huh?”

Borat almost wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, but all he could do was plead with a forlorn expression, “T-This was all a misunderstanding!” Ignoring him, Polly said, “You have one day to fix this. Hand me two million at my coffee house tomorrow at this time. Else, there will be consequences to pay!”

After uttering those words, Polly took her bodyguards and left.

Seeing this, Jonathan darted forward and called out to Polly with a smile, “Hey, pretty lady!”

Polly looked at Jonathan coldly. “Don’t think I don’t know what’s on your mind.”

Chuckling, Jonathan went on, “Don’t be upset, pretty lady. You don’t have a car now, do you? Why don’t you take our car, then? It’s not much, but at least it’s something.” As he spoke, he led the way, walking toward the BMW and opening the car door for Polly.

“This way, pretty lady,” Jonathan called out earnestly like a slave begging his master.

Polly pondered for a moment but eventually got into the car, and Jonathan handed his car keys to the two bodyguards.

 

Soon, the car started up and took off.

Turning around, Jonathan chuckled at Jessica and Yasmin. “Let’s go.”

 

“No way!” Infuriated, Borat and his lackeys circled Jonathan and his friends.

Jonathan glanced at Borat with a smile and said, “I think you should be digging for the money you need to pay her now.”

“Compensate me! If not, I’ll finish you off today!” Borat snarled.

Jonathan replied, “Are you crazy? Why should I do this for you? I didn’t ask you to smash her car.”

“Go to hell!” Borat was livid upon hearing Jonathan’s words. He grabbed a steel rod and charged toward Jonathan, wanting to strike at the latter’s head.

A gust of wind ensued as he swung the steel rod in Jonathan’s direction.

Jessica and Yasmin were utterly shocked and horrified at the sight of that.

However, in the blink of an eye, Jonathan grabbed hold of the steel rod and crushed it into a ball the way one would scrunch up a piece of paper.

Letting out a scoff, he said, “Get out of my face before I get mad at you!”

Everyone froze in thunderstruck silence.

Borat and the hooligans were rather stunned after seeing what Jonathan just did, and both Jessica and Yasmin could not believe their eyes either.

Terrified, Borat and his lackeys glanced at Jonathan and scampered away.

After that, Jonathan yawned languidly. “Ah! How boring it is! Come on, let’s leave now.”

Jessica and Yasmin had finally witnessed for themselves Jonathan’s capabilities. The three of them then hailed a taxi. In the car, Jessica decided not to mess with Jonathan anymore but couldn’t help asking, “Hey, Jonathan! How did you get so strong?”

Jonathan grinned and said, “Well, you haven’t even seen me in bed yet.” Blushing in embarrassment, Jessica pulled Jonathan’s ear and said, “Hey! Why can’t you just talk properly with me?”

Due to the pain, Jonathan had no choice but to beg for forgiveness. Seated in the passenger seat, he somehow looked a comical sight.

The taxi driver looked at them puzzledly and suppressed his laughter.

“All right! Stop fooling around, you two!” Yasmin said solemnly.

Only then did Jessica let go of Jonathan.

Yasmin then thought for a moment before asking, “Jonathan, were those hooligans related to Cyclops and Jane?”

Wow! What a smart woman.

Jonathan nodded and answered, “Yes, you’re right!”

Realization soon dawned on Jessica as well. However, she came across a puzzling thought. “Isn’t it weird that Cyclops sent those hooligans to go against you? After all, he has confronted you before, so he must know your capability.”

Jonathan gave her a silly grin upon hearing her words. “It seems you’re not the boobs-for-brains type. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be this intelligent. Looks like your boobs must mostly just be padding, eh?”

Jessica instantly lost her temper as she snapped, “Are you trying to pick a fight with me?”

Jonathan laughed and responded, “It’s true that those few punks earlier were not very powerful. However, I guess I’d be in troubled waters if I fought with them and beat them up. Cyclops must have colluded with the police. They were simply waiting to arrest me for assault and would accuse me of the crime once I’m in custody. If I resist, I’d become a wanted criminal. If not, then I’d have to go to prison. These are the dirty tactics they’re using now!”
