I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 107 Fighting Your Own Demons

Yasmin’s mansion had a balcony which also served as an observation deck. It offered a panoramic view from the balcony. On top of that, she had specially built a swimming pool there.

At that moment, the bright morning sunlight shone into the swimming pool. The pool glittered with the sun rays shining in.

Jonathan and Yasmin were seated on the lounge chairs under a parasol.

With a tormented expression, Yasmin asked, “Is Connor really gone?”

Jonathan nodded grimly and replied, “Yes, he’s gone.”

Instantly, tears welled up in Yasmin’s eyes. She asked again, “When did it happen?”

Jonathan answered, “About half a year ago.”

Yasmin tried hard to stop her tears from falling. After a while of silence, she uttered, “What has Connor been doing out there for so many years? Why did he perish? How did you guys know each other?”

After taking a deep breath, Jonathan replied, “Back then, Connor was on the run after taking the life of someone for his uncle. With the help of his uncle, Connor escaped to a small country in Smealand called Quesdia. Initially, Connor worked for a general in Quesdia. Unfortunately, that general was defeated by rebel enemies in the end. After the attack, that general died. With no other choice, Connor joined other mercenaries. At that time, I joined the same mercenary team and met him. At first, Connor was the weakest mercenary soldier on the team. As a result, the other teammates often bullied him. I took pity on him and helped him whenever I could. Eventually, I also taught him skills and marksmanship. From there, we became as close as brothers.”

After a pause, Jonathan continued, “After some time, that mercenary team was wary of me for my outstanding performance. The leader of the mercenary team even planned on assassinating me as he wanted me out of his way. After Connor got to know his plan, he warned me about it. That night, Connor and I fled from that mercenary team. After our escape, we bit the bullet and set up our own mercenary team instead. We called our team Red Wolves. I was Alpha Wolf, the leader of the Red Wolves. Connor was my second-in-command, Beta Wolf. After three years, we became the top mercenary team in Smealand.”

Jonathan added, “Unfortunately, Connor perished in a mission half a year ago. I knew he was most worried about you when he was alive. Hence, I disbanded Red Wolves and returned to Horington to take care of you.”

After Yasmin heard Jonathan’s words, her eyes were filled with tears. Next, she asked, “Where is Connor buried now?”

In a low voice, Jonathan replied, “I buried him in the woods, back in Smealand.”

With a sorrowful tone, Yasmin probed, “Can you bring me there? I wish to pay my respects to Connor.”

Jonathan nodded and replied, “Of course. We can set off anytime. Just let me know when you are ready.”

Yasmin answered, “I’ve been tied up at work lately, so I can’t leave yet. I will have some time about one month later.”

“All right. I will wait for you.”
