Chapter 100 Yasir Taking Action
Jonathan felt conflicted. On one hand, he yearned for a carefree life on his own. On the other hand, he enjoyed a happy life there with everyone.
If I leave Horington now, where would I go?
He did not wish to go back to living amid violence in Smealand anymore. While rubbing his nose, he told himself that he could not leave. There are too many things to worry about to leave just like that. I’ll worry about Jennifer and even more so about Yasmin. More importantly, I won’t allow myself to scurry away wordlessly. What kind of person will I be perceived as if I flee before my enemy makes a move? A coward?
If he had left just like that, he would never get over it for the rest of his life.
I must face all difficulties head-on, as evading problems is not my way of doing things.
Hence, after some consideration, Jonathan chose to reject Polly’s suggestion.
He took his leave after chatting with her for some time.
As soon as he left her coffee house, he returned to Maple Mansion.
That night, Jessica and Yasmin had indeed cooked dinner for him. The dishes looked scrumptious, consisting of mostly cooked food. In the end, the three paired a glass of red wine with their meal and ate happily.
After they had finished eating, Jessica told Jonathan to do the dishes. However, he teased her in return, “Kiss me, and I’ll do it.”
Jessica side-eyed him. “In your dreams! Who do you think you are? A fairytale prince?”
Watching them bicker yet again, Yasmin merely smiled helplessly before taking the initiative to collect the plates and wash them.
Jessica couldn’t bear to let her friend wash the dishes alone, so she glared at Jonathan before going to help her.
It was indeed a beautiful night.
After cleaning up, the trio watched a horror movie in the living room. Despite that, Jessica and Yasmin were very calm throughout the film, giving Jonathan no sense of achievement.
Jessica said that she was sleepy and went straight to her room for a good night’s sleep.
Jonathan slept very well that night, unaware of the events that were happening at the Young residence in Jipsdale.
It was evident that Leonardo was not having a good life.
He had already received the news from Edgar that Jonathan refused to participate in the Golden Sword Tournament.
The news infuriated him, as he felt that Jonathan was extremely despicable for never acting according to the plan for once.
After all, the tournament was set up for Jonathan, and Strikezone Martial Arts had contributed a large number of manpower and resources to organize it. But what’s the point of having the tournament when that idiot Jonathan is not participating?
Leonardo planned to go to Horington personally to force him to participate. After some investigations, Leonardo knew that Jonathan cared about Jennifer and Yasmin. Hence, he decided to target those women. I’ll simply kidnap them and force him to participate in the tournament.
Although it was a despicable move, he could not come up with a better idea to achieve his goal. He felt that Jonathan was like a mule, stubborn and loathsome.
Since it was already ten o’clock at night, Leonardo decided to sleep in Bianca’s room after releasing his frustrations.
However, Wallace came up to him at that moment. “Young Master, Master Sullivan is here.”
Leonardo’s heart skipped a beat as he was somewhat scared of Yasir. He also knew that the man’s purpose for coming was because of Jonathan’s matter. Without any delay, Leonardo quickly tidied up his appearance and headed to the main entrance to welcome his guest.
There was a garden with a fountain outside the Young residence.
The water that shot up from the fountain sparkled against the light.
Upon arriving at the main entrance, he noticed that Yasir’s black Maybach was parked in front of the fountain.
The car door then swung open. A calm-looking Levi got out first to open the rear door for Yasir.
Following that, the latter stepped out of the car.
Leonardo stepped forward and greeted politely, “Master Sullivan!”
Yasir merely gave him an indifferent glance before he replied, “Let’s head inside.”
“Yes!” answered Leonardo.
After everyone had entered the Young residence, Leonardo led Yasir to the parlor and instructed Wallace to prepare some coffee.
He only took a seat beside Yasir once everything was completed.
Yasir did not put on airs but asked calmly, “I heard that Jonathan refused to participate in the tournament?”
“That’s right, Master Sullivan,” Leonardo hurriedly replied. After a short pause, he continued, “I’ll be heading to Horington tomorrow morning, Master Sullivan. Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to force him to participate.”
“What is the plan you have in mind?” Yasir questioned.
Leonardo replied, “Jonathan is a pretentious man. There are a few women that he cares about in the city. As long as I kidnap them, there’s no way he can say no to me.”
Hearing this, Yasir frowned. “By doing so, aren’t you exposing the fact that we’re the mastermind behind this matter? Jonathan is already an expert in Neutralizing Force, and such experts have their temperaments and decisions. I’m afraid that forcing him will make matters worse. You’ve confronted him a few times, so you should know that he’s not easy to deal with.”
Leonardo was momentarily stunned.
Yasir continued, “Besides, if he spreads the news, all our efforts will be in vain.”
“What do you intend to do, Master Sullivan?” asked Leonardo, feeling troubled.
Yasir was silent for a while before replying, “Don’t meddle in this matter anymore. I’ll personally go to Horington tomorrow.”
His words surprised Leonardo, who did not expect Yasir to handle the matter personally. “Understood!” he responded respectfully.
At seven in the morning, Yasmin and Jessica got out of bed and prepared to go to work. Both of them took their jobs seriously as it was their career.
Jonathan, on the other hand, was still sleeping soundly. Jessica unsympathetically banged on the door while shouting, “Get up and take us to work, Jonathan!”
Sitting up groggily, he muttered a reply.
Despite his sleepiness, he was more than happy to carry out the task.
Jessica snorted before remarking, “That’s more like it.” She then went to wash up with a smile of satisfaction while Jonathan also got out of bed.
Yasmin prepared breakfast that day. There were sandwiches, scrambled eggs, and milk.
After breakfast, Jonathan drove Yasmin’s BMW and sent the women to work.
He followed them into Rose Couture and chatted happily with Donald and the others.
Seeing him having a good relationship with Yasmin and Jessica, Donald was envious.
One of the security guards said, “Wow! You’re so good at socializing, Jon! You’ve managed to seduce both our bosses. Does that mean that you’ll become our boss too in the future?”
“Don’t spout nonsense. They’re like sisters to me,” Jonathan responded after clearing his throat. He was not that shameless.
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard that.
Following that, Jonathan mindlessly loitered around the company, intending to have lunch there at noon. Anyway, I have nothing to do every day, so I’ll be loitering wherever I go.
In terms of his horror-themed bar, things were going well with a professional team handling everything, so he did not need to worry about it.
Despite not working or doing anything at present, the dividends he earned each month alone could allow him to lead a good life in Horington.
He could even buy a house with a mortgage if he wanted to.
However, he had never once thought of doing that. It’s nice staying with Yasmin and Jessica. I can take care of Yasmin and protect her.
Right after, he bumped into Jossie in the corridor, who scowled at him in annoyance. “You’re finally willing to come here, huh?”
At noon, Jonathan was having lunch with Jessica and Yasmin in the cafeteria when he received a call from Polly.
He immediately answered, but it was a male voice who spoke on the other end of the line.
