It was eight o'clock at night when Jonathan arrived at Lostaria International Airport.
There was a valuable treasure in his backpack—the Sinai Bible.
Jonathan kept his guard up as he didn't want anything unexpected to happen. After getting off the plane, he left the airport quickly.
The sun was up in Lostaria, but the weather was still cool.
Jonathan strode out of the airport and saw an endless stream of travelers of different races in the square.
He hailed a cab and headed to Divine Realm in Mount Frallein.
It was a smooth journey.
Half an hour later, he arrived at Mount Frallein. The spectacular Divine Realm was right before him.
Jonathan hurried to the entrance surrounded by guards.
After the iris recognition device scanned Jonathan's iris, a notification popped up saying that his identity was verified.
He was allowed entrance to the Divine Realm.
Jonathan went straight to Olympus as all missions were supposed to be handed in there.
He would have to complete the ritual by bowing and leaving the book in front of Divine Emperor.
The next day, Divine Emperor's envoy would give him the reward he deserved.
Inside Olympus, Jonathan came to a stop before the grand and imposing statue of Divine Emperor.
The entire Olympus felt rather grim to him.
That was the first time Jonathan was inside Olympus at night. There was no electricity inside, so the hall was lit up by candles and incense.
It looked like a monastery.
Jonathan took three incense sticks and lit them up. He then gave Divine Emperor three bows.
Strangely, he didn't feel anything wrong with his action. In fact, giving his respects to Divine Emperor was akin to praying to a divine being.
After that, Jonathan offered the Sinai Bible and took his leave.
He walked out of Olympus.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was supposed to be dark at night, but the courtyard outside Olympus was lit by the street lights and seemed bright as day.
Jonathan received a notification on his phone.
He fished his phone out and clicked into it. It was a notification informing him that the dual-level mission was completed.
Jonathan turned over his shoulder to look at Olympus.
There was no one in sight. His reverence for Divine Emperor intensified.
At the same time, Jonathan felt his Bronze mark changing.
He shrugged off his jacket and rolled his sleeves up hastily.
The Bronze mark had turned into a Silver mark automatically! Oh, this is amazing! Jonathan mused to himself.
He could finally heave a sigh of relief as he had successfully completed the difficult and dangerous mission.
The first thing he did was to give Mabel a call.
Strangely, she was the first person who popped up in his mind.
Jonathan didn't see anything wrong with his action.
The call soon connected.
Mabel chided, “F*ck you, Jonathan. It's five in the morning! Why are you calling me at this hour? Can't you call me later?” Stunned, Jonathan belatedly realized the time difference.
He chuckled and told her, “I have good news.
‘You won't be able to go back to sleep after hearing it.”
“Did you find the Sinai Bible?” Mabel sounded delighted.
Jonathan said, “Yes. I've handed in the Sinai Bible, and the mission is completed. You'll get the Heaven Pill soon.” Mabel grew shy at his words, for a Heaven Pill was too precious.
After a brief silence, she said, “Jonathan, you should think over it carefully. A Heaven Pill isn't a Spirit Gathering Pill.
Many people will die to get it. Will you really give it to me?” Jonathan chuckled and responded, “Well, no matter how valuable a Heaven Pill is, it isn't as important as our friendship. Besides, I'm going to get three. I'll still have two after giving you one.” “Thank you,” Mabel thanked him gratefully.
“Wait for my return. That's all.” Jonathan grinned and hung up.
He then called Catherine.
The call was answered quickly. Through their exchange,
Jonathan learned that Catherine had completed two missions. She was currently in the Harrington mansion with Alicia. It was all arranged by Simon. According to Simon, Alicia needed someone to take care of her.
Jonathan then called Simon to share the good news with him. The latter was delighted to learn that. When asked about his whereabouts, Simon revealed that he was with Lesley and Elijah, trying to search for the snow fox on Mount Kransbay.
They wouldn't be meeting each other for the time being.
Jonathan couldn't return to his country immediately. He would only get the Heaven Pills tomorrow, and he also had to wait until Lailah returned to give her the pill she deserved.
The mission was completed, so Jonathan felt utterly relaxed.
It was still early. Before the clock struck nine, Jonathan returned to the condominium. He then proceeded to shower thoroughly before putting on a clean set of clothes.
It had been a while since Jonathan last went to a bar alone, so he decided to have fun that night.
He left the condominium after making up his mind.
The Divine Realm spanned a huge area. Jonathan had to make several turns.
After walking past a path, he arrived at the garage.
He entered the garage without hesitation.
The Divine Realm had arranged for his car—a Ford SUV that looked intimidating.
It was black and looked gorgeous.
He climbed into the car. Before starting the engine, he belatedly realized that he couldn't drink and drive.
What if the police asks me to pull over? Jonathan didn't like breaking the rules.
However, it was impossible for him to hail a cab in that place. He sat in the vehicle, seemingly frustrated.
Awhile later, Jonathan figured out a solution. He could drive to the bar and take a cab back! Yes, I'm smart! Jonathan then drove out of the underground garage.
He had just driven out of the garage when a man blocked his way.
Standing underneath the street lights, the man was clad in a white shirt and black slacks. He looked nice and seemed to be in his forties.
The middle-aged man looked like a charming gentleman.
Many young ladies would fall for his charms.
Jonathan was visibly shocked as it was a strange situation.
A second ago, he didn't see anyone before him. Where did he come from? Did | run into a ghost? However, Jonathan wasn't afraid at all. He was in the final stage of the Nascent Soul, so ghosts couldn't come near him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCould it be an expert from the Divine Realm? Or is this.
Divine Emperor in person? Instead of getting out of the car, Jonathan waited and stared at the middle-aged man silently.
He wanted to see what the man wanted.
The middle-aged man looked at Jonathan calmly. Suddenly, he flashed a smile and asked, “Young man, are you going out?” Jonathan responded warily, “Who are you? What do you want from me?” The middle-aged man said, “I want to go to the bar too.
Why don't you give me a ride? I'll buy you a drink in return.” D*mn it! Yes, | want to go to the bar, but | didn't say that out loud. Who the h*ll is this middle-aged man? Anyway, he must be an expert in Divine Realm.
Taking a deep breath, he wound down the window and said, “Sure, no problem.” Da*n it. Is this a blessing or a curse? But then again, it's not
like 1 can run away from it. I'll have to face it head-on either way...
The man thanked him and got into the car.
Jonathan floored the accelerator and soon drove out of the Divine Realm.
The car sped down Mount Frallein.
“Young man, you are a good driver,” the man commented with a smile.
Jonathan chuckled. “Back then, | often had to drive to escape from danger, so | have no choice but to be a good driver.” “Oh, | see. What was your previous job?” the man asked.
“Mister, you know everything, don't you?” Jonathan returned with a question.
The man was surprised. “How would | know?” Jonathan replied, “You know that | want to go to the bar.
Don't you know my past?” The man chuckled in response. “You got it wrong. | didn't
dig into your privacy. A man who drives at night is most probably heading to the bar. That's how | know your destination,” he revealed.
“You're wrong. | want to have fun with an Anglandurn girl in a hotel,” Jonathan told him.
“No, that's not what you have in mind,” the man insisted.
“Why not?” Jonathan asked.
The man responded cheerfully, “A person's character can be determined through his aura. You are very much like me when | was young. You might look carefree, but you are upright and frank. It's obvious you won't do ‘something that ridiculous.” Jonathan didn't sense any hostility from the man, but he refused to put his guard down. “My name is Jonathan Lawson. May | know what's your name?” “Names are just a form of address,” the man answered.
As the man refused to reveal his name, Jonathan didn't press on. Curious, he asked, “Can | guess your identity?”
The man guffawed at his words. “You won't be able to guess who | am.” “You can't be sure of that. There are many capable members in Divine Realm, but only a few are as capable as you.” He flattered the man in a discreet manner.
“Sure, go ahead then.” Jonathan guessed, “Are you Divine Emperor? After | completed the mission today, did you come here to take a look at me as | excelled in the mission?” The man burst out laughing. “You have a wild imagination, huh? Divine Emperor's primordial spirit is traveling around the universe. He won't be interested in anything or anyone.” “Then how did Divine Emperor know when | handed the item in? He even handled it immediately.” Jonathan was baffled.
The man told him, “That's because Olympus is Divine
Emperor's force field. He knows everything that happens inside even though he's somewhere in the universe.
Besides, his thought can emerge through the help of the magnetic field. Divine Emperor is said to be omnipresent, and that isn't a lie.” Shocked, Jonathan couldn't help but praise, “Oh, Divine Emperor is far more capable than | imagined. No one can travel here instantly and know everything that happens inside despite being thousands of miles away.”
