Chapter 70 The Chosen One

When Gabriel noticed Jonathan and Amber, there was no sign of surprise on his face. Jonathan, on the other hand, found the sight before him to be unbelievable.

He was at the level of Peak Neutralizing Force. He had a strong perception of the happenings around him, so much so that he could feel the ants crawling on the ground within fifty meters of his location. However, Gabriel was standing within ten meters from him at that moment, yet he couldn’t feel his presence.

Jonathan concluded that Gabriel had a cultivation level that was much greater than him. Nevertheless, he also questioned the logic behind that. As his cultivation level was already beyond what most people could achieve, it couldn’t be possible that the three people had cultivation levels that were higher than him at the same time. The chance of that happening was the same as winning the jackpot.

Jonathan observed Gabriel and the rest. It’s either he has no cultivation or he is too much of an expert to be detected by me. I think he belongs to the first category. After all, Felicia grew up with him, and never once did she mention that Gabriel knows how to fight. It can’t be possible for him to have such a high level of cultivation in such a short time.

Jonathan continued sizing up the people in front of him. He could see that the young man with a buzz cut had cultivation in Neutralizing Force. The latter had a menacing aura that would make people fear him, so it wasn’t hard to see that it would be terrifying to be his opponent in a fight.

It was one thing to have cultivation, but having fighting experiences was a completely different thing. Just because one was an expert in Neutralizing Force didn’t mean that one would have a sure win over those with expertise in Latent Force.

As for the young man in a white shirt, Jonathan could feel his heart skip a beat when he looked at him. His cultivation is at the level of Peak Neutralizing Force! It is hard to discover that because of his gentlemanly appearance.

“You must be wondering why you can’t detect our presence even though we are right beside you, right?” Gabriel said placidly, looking at Jonathan.

Jonathan feigned a relaxed look although he had secretly put his guard up. “Well, it’s nothing strange to me. You are an expert from the Crimson Onyx Sect who can detect the change in the magnetic field. You messed with the magnetic field around me so that I wouldn’t be able to notice you, right?”

Gabriel smiled. “You are a smart man.”

“I’m flattered,” Jonathan responded.

“I guess you are here to seek revenge on behalf of Felicia, aren’t you?”

Jonathan knew that there was no point denying it at this moment so he said, “That was my intention, but it seems that it’s not going to work.”

“I know that Felicia has been relying on the Phoenix Jade to create her own force field to keep herself alive at Golden Years. Her force field seems so powerful that outsiders can’t get in. I have a few ways to destroy her force field if I wanted to. But do you know why I didn’t do it?”

Jonathan narrowed his eyes. “You’ve been waiting for me?”

Amber felt the hair on her back stand when she heard Jonathan’s words. If Gabriel has been waiting for Jonathan, then damn that’s terrifying. Is he perhaps an immortal who can see the future?

Gabriel smiled. “Not really. I just happened to know that Felicia has something to do with the Chosen One and that the Chosen One will end up killing me because of her. I also figured out that the Chosen

One would definitely go to Golden Years to meet Felicia and then avenge Felicia. And to do that, the Chosen One will have to come to me. This is actually one complex calculation.”

“What the hell is a Chosen One?” Jonathan asked.

Gabriel explained generously, “The Chosen One is a man chosen by the Heavens to suppress the evil and bring back peace when major chaos erupts in the future.”

“Is that a joke? We’re living in the twenty-first century now with advanced technologies, and we live in peace. There is no way the evil will cause chaos in the future.”

“It’s not about the unrest in the country, but the advancement in technology has made it impossible for otherworldly creatures to exist. The Heavenly Law states that all demons, ghosts, and supernatural beings are not allowed to exist. There’s no point telling you this because you won’t understand.”

Jonathan was an intelligent person. He quickly filtered through Gabriel’s words and vaguely understood some of them, but not all of them. “Are you trying to say that I’m the Chosen One? Then does that mean the fate of the world is in my hands? In other words, I will be lucky in times of trouble and I can turn evil into good? And if you go against me, you are going against the Heavens?”

Gabriel chuckled. “That is so naïve of you. We’re not filming a drama, so there’s no such thing as evading every danger that comes your way and becoming an immortal. We are merely insignificant beings living in this world. When you die, your luck will be transferred to another Chosen One. Every generation has a Chosen One. Most of the historical figures we know today were the Chosen One. You all exist as pawns for the Heavens to bring about reformation. Once you die, there will always be a new pawn to replace you. The difference between the Chosen One and an ordinary person is that he will have better luck.”

Amber was rather confused by Gabriel’s words. Some of his words were easy to grasp, but some parts were just nonsensical.

Jonathan’s expression changed slightly. “So, why have you been waiting for me to come? Is it just to pin the death of Master Yarrow on me?”

“It’s true that Master Yarrow was the most capable master in divination at the Crimson Onyx Sect. However, he was too afraid of the Heavenly Law. He didn’t dare to defy it, which makes me question this. If every one of us is like him, what’s the use of knowing the Heavens’ secrets? We might as well remain clueless if that’s the case.”

“So you killed Master Yarrow because you wanted to replace him?” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Gabriel smiled. “That’s right. He didn’t believe in me at all and assumed that I would bring the Crimson Onyx Sect to the point of no return. That’s why I had to get rid of him.” He paused before continuing, “I waited for you to come because someone must be held responsible for Master Yarrow’s death. Also, I want to be the one to take away your luck and make myself the Chosen One.”

“You can take away someone else’s luck?” Jonathan asked in surprise.

“Normal people can’t do that, but I can. Okay, Chosen One, I have answered all of your questions. You can stop recording our conversation on your phone now, right?”

Jonathan’s expression stiffened. Indeed, he had secretly turned on the recording on his phone earlier and then tricked Gabriel into admitting that he had killed Percy. Yet little did he expect Gabriel to have noticed that.

Jonathan’s heart sank. He knew that I was trying to get his confession on tape, yet he didn’t avoid the topic. There is only one reason for this! Gabriel isn’t afraid of letting me know because he’s totally confident in taking me down.

Amber noticed the change in the atmosphere. She moved closer to Jonathan unconsciously and said to Gabriel sternly, “I’m a cop. You’d better watch yourself.”

Gabriel glanced at Amber and said, “I don’t care who you are. It doesn’t matter to me. All I know is that you will disappear from the face of the Earth and nobody will know where you are.”

Sweat dripped down Amber’s back. Gabriel is way more terrifying than Felicia. She is nothing compared to him.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce someone to you,” Gabriel went on as he spoke to Jonathan while patting the shoulder of the young man with a buzz cut beside him. “This is Drake, a Jetroinian. Even though he is at the young age of twenty-six now, don’t look down on him. He was the student of Ida Iwamatsu from the Sapphire Blade Clan. Ida trained him for years under a waterfall, so ten years of training have made him a master of blade combat. When he was fifteen, he killed his master and rose to fame. And until this day, countless experts have died in his hands.” Then Gabriel proceeded to introduce the young man in the white shirt. “This guy here is even more impressive. His name is Zachary Lopez. He was a major-general in the military, and his marksmanship is one of the best!”

Jonathan’s eyes widened. “I’ve heard of Major-General Lopez before,” he sneered.

Zachary was surprised. “You have?”

Jonathan burst into laughter. “Of course I’ve heard about the man who sold our top-secret and confidential information to Drieso. After all, you are the most-wanted man in our country now.”

A ferocious glint flashed in Zachary’s eyes, but it was gone before anyone noticed it.

Gabriel sighed. “These aren’t important, Chosen One. What’s important now is this. Are you going to come with us the easy way or the hard way?”

“Gabriel Carter, you are a wicked and cruel man. How dare you dream of becoming the Chosen One? Take a look at these demons around you. They are as mean as you are. Why do you think the Heavens

would let you become the Chosen One?”

“Oh, aren’t you a naïve one? History has always been written by the victors. But it seems that you won’t go down without a fight,” Gabriel said, then turned toward Drake. “Get him!”

“Yes, Master!” Drake’s eyes turned cold, and they were filled with bloodlust as he took a big step forward.

His killing intent was so strong that it sent shivers down Jonathan’s spine and caused Amber to feel suffocated.

Jonathan quickly stood in front of Amber. The moment he did, she realized she could breathe smoothly again.

“Stay back!” Jonathan said to Amber.

Amber knew she had to listen to Jonathan. She couldn’t risk being a burden and nuisance to him.

If not for her, Jonathan thought he could still probably escape unharmed. And if he could kill Drake, his chances of escaping would increase. Zachary was his only threat now. Although Zachary did not take out his gun, Jonathan reckoned he must have a gun on him since he was an ace shooter. His only fear now was Zachary’s gun.
