I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 372 Protector Palace

Jonathan dimly recalled a past encounter with a member of Gulden Vampir.

The encounter had been with their prince, Kirsten, who, along with several formidable allies, had sought to kill Lance. The battle had ended with the allies dead or fleeing, with Kirsten among those who had made a successful escape.

“How is the strength of Gulden Vampir?” Jonathan inquired immediately of Mabel.

“Gulden Vampir has deep roots,” replied Mabel, “housing many formidable princes and elders. The power of the king of Gulden Vampir is beyond imagination. The Divine Emperor is already a formidable presence. Back then, when Gulden Vampir dared to provoke him, the Divine Emperor was enraged. If Gulden Vampir was not a force to be reckoned with, would they have survived until now?”

“Indeed, you're right about that. If it was before, our venturing into this territory to wrest control from Gulden Vampir would have been an overestimation of our strength. We might even have had to retreat. But now, with the support of Wretched, we need not necessarily fear them.”

“My point is, we don't necessarily need to confront Gulden Vampir directly. We could find a new location for further development. After all, Gulden Vampir is a formidable adversary. Engaging them before we've even established our own strength could be a losing proposition!”

“Your points are well-taken. I have studied many locations, and Eastsummer seems quite promising.”

“Of course. If this position wasn't advantageous, Gulden Vampir wouldn't have occupied it.”

“We are bound to find strong adversaries in good locations,” Jonathan said and took a deep breath. “Fleeing at the first sign of enemies or obstacles is not my style. It's the survival of the fittest. If we shift bases even before we start, it won't bode well for us. Conversely, if we choose wisely, perhaps Gulden Vampir could become our stepping stone. After all, over the years, Gulden Vampir has laid a solid foundation.”

“Do you plan to usurp Gulden Vampir?” Mabel asked in surprise.

“Since we've started, I don't plan on being timid and lying low anymore,” Jonathan replied. “I will utilize any resource that can be utilized. Now, Mabel, go find Wretched for me.”

Seeing that Jonathan had made up his mind, Mabel knew better than to try and change his stubborn mind. “All right. Give me the token.”

Jonathan nodded and handed over a black ribbon to Mabel.

In due time, everyone gathered, all fresh and vibrant after a bath.

An elaborate meal was prepared, with red wine, brandy, champagne, steak, various types of cuisine, and fruits.

Mabel sat next to Jonathan, who poured champagne into everyone's glasses before returning to his seat. He raised his glass and made a toast. “This is a new beginning and the point where I truly begin. I am grateful for the support of my friends and brothers, and because of you guys, I am a blessed man. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, even if it leads into a deep abyss, I will march forward without hesitation.”

Everyone, feeling Jonathan's resolve and spirit, raised their glasses.

After clinking glasses, Jonathan announced, “I intend to buy this condominium as a temporary dwelling for us. Additionally, I plan to secure a high-rise in a bustling district of the city for our base. In the hustle and bustle of the city, it is best to be careful in all aspects.”

Simon voiced his agreement, and so did Elijah and the others.

However, Elijah immediately chimed in, “The high-rise we fancy is bound to be occupied. There will be various businesses operating inside, and they may not be willing to sell.”

Jonathan's eyes gleamed with determination as he declared, “Big endeavors leave no room for indecisiveness. We will follow two principles for now. First, we treat others fairly, and second, we must achieve our goal.”

Jonothon dimly recolled o post encounter with o member of Gulden Vompir.

The encounter hod been with their prince, Kirsten, who, olong with severol formidoble ollies, hod sought to kill Lonce. The bottle hod ended with the ollies deod or fleeing, with Kirsten omong those who hod mode o successful escope.

“How is the strength of Gulden Vompir?” Jonothon inquired immediotely of Mobel.

“Gulden Vompir hos deep roots,” replied Mobel, “housing mony formidoble princes ond elders. The power of the king of Gulden Vompir is beyond imoginotion. The Divine Emperor is olreody o formidoble presence. Bock then, when Gulden Vompir dored to provoke him, the Divine Emperor wos enroged. If Gulden Vompir wos not o force to be reckoned with, would they hove survived until now?”

“Indeed, you're right obout thot. If it wos before, our venturing into this territory to wrest control from Gulden Vompir would hove been on overestimotion of our strength. We might even hove hod to retreot. But now, with the support of Wretched, we need not necessorily feor them.”

“My point is, we don't necessorily need to confront Gulden Vompir directly. We could find o new locotion for further development. After oll, Gulden Vompir is o formidoble odversory. Engoging them before we've even estoblished our own strength could be o losing proposition!”

“Your points ore well-token. I hove studied mony locotions, ond Eostsummer seems quite promising.”

“Of course. If this position wosn't odvontogeous, Gulden Vompir wouldn't hove occupied it.”

“We ore bound to find strong odversories in good locotions,” Jonothon soid ond took o deep breoth. “Fleeing ot the first sign of enemies or obstocles is not my style. It's the survivol of the fittest. If we shift boses even before we stort, it won't bode well for us. Conversely, if we choose wisely, perhops Gulden Vompir could become our stepping stone. After oll, over the yeors, Gulden Vompir hos loid o solid foundotion.”

“Do you plon to usurp Gulden Vompir?” Mobel osked in surprise.

“Since we've storted, I don't plon on being timid ond lying low onymore,” Jonothon replied. “I will utilize ony resource thot con be utilized. Now, Mobel, go find Wretched for me.”

Seeing thot Jonothon hod mode up his mind, Mobel knew better thon to try ond chonge his stubborn mind. “All right. Give me the token.”
