Chapter 46 No Compromising

Jonathan could not help but secretly contemplate the meaning behind Leonardo’s phone call. It makes no sense for Leonardo to say such a perfunctory threat based on his identity.

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Jonathan went straight to the point.

Leonardo replied, “As I said before, I have underestimated you. No matter whose fault it is, the bad blood between us has already been established. We can’t put an end to this matter just like that. How about this? I’ll regard you as an opponent of equal standing and have a life-and-death battle with you in the arena.”

Although Leonardo was someone of prominent status, he had brute courage. He was still a fighter at the end of the day. Therefore, at this moment, he would use his life to defend the dignity of the disciples of Strikezone Martial Arts.

Jonathan replied without hesitation, “Oh, come on! Leonardo, none of the disciples of Strikezone Martial Arts, including you, is trustworthy. When I had that life-and-death battle with Randy that day, everyone agreed that no one could butt in. But do you remember what you did after that? So if I fight you now, I have to die if I lose. However, if I win, I’m afraid that the masters supporting you might make a surprise appearance. Doesn’t that mean I would have to fight endlessly?”

“No. I’ll report this to the masters and explain all the details to them clearly,” Leonardo answered.

However, Jonathan rejected his suggestion. “Doing this is meaningless. I still don’t trust any of you. And even if I do, I’ll not fight you.”

“Why?” Leonardo started to sound irritated.

Jonathan chuckled as he replied, “You’re thirty this year, while I’m only twenty-six. Not only are you experienced, but you’re also in the prime of your life, and your cultivation is already unmatchable. On the other hand, I still have a lot to work and improve on, and I admit that I’m not your opponent now. A fighter needs to be courageous. But if he went ahead and insisted on fighting a losing battle, that’s not being courageous. That’s just a fool trying to seek death.”

Hearing that, Leonardo was at a loss for words.

Jonathan added, “Leonardo, both of us have already reached a certain cultivation stage. I do care for these women. But if you used them to threaten me, I guess I have to get over it. At most, I’ll take revenge on you after you killed them. It’s an option I can consider. You and I will always be enemies. Think it over yourself.” He hung up after finishing his sentence.

The meaning behind his words was clear—if Leonardo captured Jennifer and the other women, he intended to force Jonathan to submit to him. However, not only would Jonathan not submit to him, but he would even take revenge in an unimaginable way.

That was how reality worked. If an enemy was to capture someone’s woman, was the latter supposed to satisfy his opponent by kneeling at his feet and hurting himself?

Things would not work out in the end, and both that person and his lover would get killed.

People of the modern days like Jonathan had their way of doing things, which was to let the other party complete the killing before making them pay a far steeper price. If people with great vision could not even be decisive in such matters, how could they even be capable of accomplishing great things?

There used to be an emperor in the past whose parents got captured by his enemy, and the latter even used his parents’ lives to threaten him, wanting to invade his land. However, the emperor did not give in and managed to save his country.

Jonathan did not give it much thought after hanging up the call. Knowing that Leonardo’s cultivation was at an unfathomable level, there was no way he would foolishly agree to that battle. If they were to fight openly in the arena, he knew that he was no match for Leonardo. However, if he could play dirty, he would not have to fear fighting the other man.

That was also what had been bothering Leonardo currently.
