Chapter 565 Call from Joanne
Chapter 565 Call from Joanne
Jonathan held a gold card in his hand, the money inside was enough for an ordinary person to squander through three generations.
However, Jonathan was not frugal with money. Even if he were given a mountain of gold and silver, he might spend it all in a day.
He had never cared much about money, never allowing it to manipulate his character or will. That night, Jonathan took a flight straight back to Chanaea. He believed that Chanaea was the true homeland of The Destino.
The culture of The Destino had a long and profound history!
Jonathan yearned to traverse the famous mountains, desiring to experience life in the wilderness and dine under the open sky. He wondered if such an adventure might lead him to a serendipitous encounter with immortal destiny.
That was the thought going through Jonathan's mind at that moment!
After enduring a lengthy eighteen-hour flight, Jonathan arrived at Moulmore's international airport.
After getting off the plane, it was exactly five in the afternoon in Moulmore. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Moulmore was currently in the throes of a sweltering season. At five in the afternoon, the sun was still blazing hot, showing no intention of setting anytime soon.
Jonathan wasn't acquainted with anyone in Moulmore, so he could enjoy absolute freedom there.
That was also why he chose to go to Moulmore first. He didn't want to get in touch with anyone he knew, but he didn't throw away his phone. He still had many things on his mind, fearing that Aurora and the others might need to contact him or if something happened in the Divine Realm.
In the end, he was just an ordinary person, unable to completely detach himself from worldly matters!
It was worth mentioning that during that time, Mabel did call Jonathan. Mabel learned about Jonathan's situation from Beatrix, so she called to comfort Jonathan.
Even though Jonathan was laughing and joking on the phone with Mabel, she said, “You don't need to hide anything from me. I know you're not happy.”
“It's been so long,” Jonathan said lightly. “I can't possibly burst into tears just because I'm catching up with you.”
Mabel said, “If you have time, come to Yaleview. I'll join you for a drink!”
Jonathan said, “I've had all the drinks that I needed to have. In the coming days, I will double my efforts in training and cultivation, striving to awaken Catherine as soon as possible.”
Mabel let out a soft sigh. She didn't know what to say anymore.
The phone call just ended up afterward.
After Catherine was met with a mishap, Jonathan underwent significant changes.
He became more composed, carrying a subtle sense of world-weariness.
At that point, Jonathan was feeling a bit peckish, and he didn't have much cash on hand. So, he found a nearby bank to withdraw some money. His gold card was universally accepted at any bank, and he would always be treated as a VIP!
At that time, the bank staff were busy closing the books for the day, typically not entertaining any more customers. However, when Jonathan presented his gold card, the bank staff still welcomed him.
Jonathan withdrew half a million in cash to spend.
He was accustomed to splurging money, but he also knew that he might end up in some remote places. Wherever he went, money could open all doors for him.
However, he was worried not everywhere he went would accept card payments. If he didn't bring some cash with him, he might end up making a fool of himself.
After withdrawing the five hundred thousand, the bank staff packed it into a black garbage bag for Jonathan.
Jonathan took the money and left the bank.
He didn't even consider the danger of carrying so much money around.
Even though the money was contained inside a black plastic bag, its shape easily gives the impression that it could be money.
Jonathan first found a small eatery. He wasn't fussy about his food, so he didn't mind any small restaurant. Once inside, he asked the shop owner for food recommendations.
The shop owner, a middle-aged chubby man, smiled and said, “Here's the menu!”
Looking over, Jonathan saw that there was meatloaf, cheeseburger, and so on! Jonathan then said, “I'll have a meatloaf and clam chowder on the side!”
The shop owner cheerfully said, “All right!”
Jonathan casually placed the money on the table. Then, he closed his eyes to concentrate.
At that moment, two young thugs quietly followed. They had been tailing Jonathan since he left the bank. Now, one of them was standing guard outside while the other one stealthily came in.
Soon, the blond young man arrived in front of Jonathan.
The shop owner turned around only to witness that scene, which gave him quite a start. Just as he was about to speak up, the blond young man glared menacingly at the shop owner.
The shop owner was an honest man. He was immediately scared into silence.
The blond young man suddenly reached out to grab Jonathan's half a million. Just as he was about to seize it, Jonathan suddenly opened his eyes. He grabbed the blond young man's hand and asked with a smile, “What's up? Trying to steal my money?”
The blond young man instantly showed a fierce glint in his eyes, brandishing a shiny switchblade in his hand. He cursed angrily, “D*mn it, let go!” He thrust the switchblade viciously toward Jonathan's hand.
The young man with a buzz cut outside also quickly rushed in. The two of them planned to join forces to take down Jonathan and then rob Jonathan of his money.
Jonathan's money had tempted the two into committing crimes.
With a single finger, Jonathan pinched the blade of the switchblade, then swiftly took it away.
Without even standing up, he lightly pressed his finger on the belly of the blond young man.
With a violent shudder, the blond young man collided with the young man with a buzz cut behind him.
Then, the two of them fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up.
The two guys were crying out in pain, but they couldn't escape. Jonathan's finger strike was packed with immense Force, displaying his transcendent strength level.
Following that, Jonathan pulled out his phone to call the police. When the officer asked for the location, Jonathan turned to ask the shop owner.
The shop owner didn't dare to offend Jonathan, so he told the truth.
After giving the address, Jonathan hung up the phone. He gave the shop owner a slight smile and said, “Could you please hurry up? I'm hungry.”
The shop owner replied, “Okay!”
The shop owner was inwardly astounded, feeling he had encountered an extraordinary person from the martial world! It was as if a peerless master had suddenly appeared in an inn like in the novels.
While Jonathan was halfway through his meal, the police arrived.
Four police officers arrived.
The two young offenders were quickly apprehended, and a male police officer approached Jonathan, asking, “You're the one who called the police, right?”
Jonathan looked up and gave a slight smile, saying, “That's right. It was me.”
The male police officer said, “We also need you to come back with us and give a statement.”
Jonathan said, “Can I finish my meal first?”
The male police officer was slightly taken aback. He, too, found Jonathan to be a peculiar individual. Nevertheless, he replied, “Of course!”
After finishing his meal at a leisurely pace, Jonathan opened the garbage bag, revealing the half a million inside. The sight left the police officers and the shop owner utterly speechless!
Jonathan casually pulled out a stack of ten thousand and placed it directly on the table. He said to the shop owner, “I'm sorry for the scare, sir. Consider this a small compensation.”
After he finished speaking, he walked away cheerfully with the few police officers.
The shop owner held Jonathan's ten thousand in his hand. Everything that had happened was too surreal for him. He was destined to be sleepless that night.
When Jonathan arrived at the nearby police station, he was asked to give a statement. The police officer asked him, “Why are you carrying so much cash?”
With a light smile, Jonathan said, “This isn't illegal, is it?”
The police officer was momentarily speechless, then said, “Indeed, you're not breaking the law, but your actions are suspicious!”
Jonathan said, “If you find me suspicious, feel free to investigate. All my documents are here. You can check them at your leisure. However, I reserve the right to answer or not to answer. If there's evidence of my crime, you can arrest me, but I need to leave now.”
The policeman gave Jonathan an extra glance. He wasn't a fool. He could tell that Jonathan was no ordinary man.
An ordinary person couldn't possibly possess such a formidable aura.
If an ordinary person had spoken to this police officer in such an arrogant manner, the officer would certainly have lost his temper. But after Jonathan spoke, the officer was left speechless. He quickly processed Jonathan's paperwork. The only thing he didn't do was personally escort Jonathan out.
Upon leaving the police station, it was already dark outside.
The night in Moulmore was vibrant with color, brilliantly illuminated by lights.
Jonathan was walking alone on the street with four hundred and ninety thousand in his hand. That was a commercial street, and an endless stream of people walked past Jonathan.
A mischievous child came running over and directly bumped into the trash bag Jonathan was using to store his money. Instantly, the four hundred and ninety thousand Chanaean currency was scattered all over the ground.
That scene instantly left the passersby dumbfounded.
Fortunately, the passersby were all very decent, and no one tried to steal Jonathan's money.
Jonathan crouched down to pick up the money. After a while, he realized he couldn't possibly pocket all the money!
Jonathan was wearing a shirt with jeans on the bottom. It was really not easy to carry all the money around.
“D*mn it. I completely forgot I had a spatial ring!” Jonathan was genuinely confused for a moment. He had been so downcast recently that he hadn't used the spatial ring for a long time, almost forgetting he had such a thing. So, on the spot, he put all the money into his spatial ring like performing a magic trick.
That scene also left everyone dumbfounded.
Jonathan quickly left the scene.
As soon as he walked away, his phone rang.
Jonathan pulled out his mobile phone and glanced at it, only to find it was a number he didn't recognize.
The phone number was registered in Willowbank!
Suddenly, Jonathan thought of a person, Joanne Wilkinson!
That person was rumored to be the reincarnation of an ancient demon.
Jonathan found it a bit odd. Why is Joanne calling me?
Intrigued, Jonathan answered the phone. Immediately, a woman's voice came through, pleasant and melodious. It was indeed Joanne!
“Is this Jonathan?” asked Joanne in her cool and clear voice.
Jonathan spoke in a deep voice, “That's right. It's me!”
Joanne let out a slight sigh of relief, saying, “Finding you is no easy task!”
With a smile, Jonathan said, “I'm quite curious. How did you manage to find me?”
Joanne said, “I had some connections with Elder Jeff Yount before. Later, I went through some trouble
to find Elder Yount, and that's how I got your number!”
Mr. Jonathan asked, “I wonder what do you need from me, Ms. Wilkinson?”
Joanne asked, “Can we meet for a chat?”
Jonathan couldn't help but hesitate. However, on second thought, he felt it wouldn't hurt to meet. After all, he didn't have anything important to do at the moment, and there were many secrets surrounding Joanne. Perhaps she was his immortal destiny. In that case, he shouldn't be refusing her.
Jonathan immediately replied, “Sure!” He paused, then asked, “I'm in Moulmore. Where are you? How shall we meet?”
Joanne said, “I'm still in Wildefield. Can you make a trip to Wildefield? If it's inconvenient for you, I can come to you!”
Jonathan said, “I don't have much going on either. All right. I'll come to Wildefield to find you!”
