Chapter 336
Jonathan could feel that Torny was up to no good. He wanted to see what the latter was planning, so he said, “Sure.”
After that, he took the check.
“Now, young man, this car belongs to me, right?” asked Torny.
Jonathan nodded and replied, “Yes.”
Tony then ordered his men, “Go ahead and smash this Ferrari.”
His subordinates obeyed and immediately took out their tools to smash the Ferrari.
The scene of a Ferrari worth millions being demolished just like that was quite shocking and intimidating.
The scene was a complete mess.
While Vananeru watched in horror, Jonathan pulled her into his warm embrace, comforting her.
After the Ferrari was smashed to smithereens, Torny turned to faced Jonathan again. Still gentle and amicable, he asked, “Young man, we've settled the issue of the car, right?”
Jonathan answered, “Yes.”
Subsequently, Torny continued, “After all, the car is just an inanimate object with a price tag attached to
it. Now that we've settled the car issue, should we talk about you hitting my son? To me, my son is priceless. You slapped him twice and kicked him once. I won't extort money from you, but one slap is worth fifty million, so two slaps and a kick add up to one hundred and fifty million. Well, since you're Chanaean, I'll calculate that in your currency.”
Jonathan finally understood Tony's scheme. He furrowed his brows and said, “I think you're desperate for money. You said the Ferrari had a price tag, and I agree with you. You also said your son is priceless. I think I agree too because your son is a scumbag and isn't worth any price at all.”
At that moment, Jonathan exhibited a powerful, courageous, and masculine aura, his voice resonating with confidence.
In truth, if Vananeru wasn't present, he would have already beaten Pedor and Torny to a pulp. Not only that, but he would also extort money from Torny until the latter went bankrupt.
Jonathan was just as ruthless and cruel as Torny.
Pedor and Torny expressions turned grim at that point. Torny's eyes glinted murderously as he said, “Kid, it seems like you won't yield until the very last second.”
He conversed with Jonathan fluently in Ustranasian the whole time, which was surprising for a thug like him to possess such language skills.
After finishing his sentence, Torny turned to a man clad in white behind him and said, “Go teach him a lesson.”
The man in white was a pale-faced Anglandurn. His complexion was sickly pallid, and he was so skinny
that one could almost see his blood vessels.
Jonathan could tell at a glance that this man in white was not to be trifled with.
The man's cultivation was probably already at the final stage of Nascent Soul.
With someone this strong on his side, no wonder Torny is so arrogant.
Jonathan's mind was racing. He wasn't afraid of this man in white, but most importantly, he had no idea how to resolve the situation at hand.
He couldn't just let Vananeru protect him, but at the same time, he couldn't reveal his skills. Once he did, he would blow his cover, and all his efforts would be in vain.
At that point, Jonathan took a deep breath and said to Torny, “Wait a minute!”
Before Torny could speak, Pedor piped up, “Do you finally regret your actions, you b*stard? It's too late.”
Ignoring Pedor, Jonathan said to Torny, “You're just after money, right? Fine, I can give it to you. But you have to let her leave first.”
Torny replied, “She's your woman, right? In that case, I would have to charge you more for her life.”
Jonathan was incensed. “You—”
Torny interrupted, “You drive a Ferrari, so your family isn't short of money. Just call your father and
have him wire fifty million in Anglandurn currency to my account, and I'll let this matter slide.”
Jonathan shouted in anger, “Why don't you go rob a bank?”
Torny said, “I'm a reasonable person. Why would I rob anyone including you?”
Jonathan replied, “My father can't fork out that much money.”
“Then have your father borrow it.”
Jonathan roared, “You motherf*cker!”
After cursing at Torny, he pounced on the former without warning. He had no choice but to get himself hurt first, or there was no way he could get his “father” to wire him money.
Bam!
Torny struck Jonathan with his foot, and the latter was sent flying before landing heavily on the ground, spewing a mouthful of blood in the process.
Torny was cautious and didn't exert too much force since he wanted money from Jonathan.
Jonathan played along and pretended to be in excruciating pain.
The kick was harmless to Jonathan, but if an ordinary person were to take it, they would have been in agonizing pain.
Frightened, Vananeru's face went pale as she sprinted toward Jonathan and asked, “Are you okay?”
Jonathan was frustrated. My goodness, can you please unleash your father's primordial spirit already?
Enduring the pain, he said, “I'm fine. Hurry up and go...”
Even if Vananeru wanted to leave now, she simply couldn't.
Torny and Pedor, along with their gang, approached Jonathan and Vananeru again.
“If you don't agree, all our men here will have a taste of your girlfriend,” said Torny.
“How dare you!” Jonathan erupted in anger.
Torny sneered, “I dare to do just about anything.” Pausing, he turned and said to Pedor, “Go and strip her clothes off.”
“Okay!” Pedor's eyes gleamed with lust. He was excited beyond measure as he loved doing something like that.
As Pedor approached Vananeru, Jonathan mustered his strength and struggled to get up from the ground.
Getting in Pedor's way to protect Vananeru, he snapped, “Bring it! Kill me if you can!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The sight of Jonathan doing everything in his power to protect her touched her so much that she decided to marry the man without hesitation.
It was also at that moment that she suddenly stood in front of Jonathan, shielding him in return.
Pedor cackled loudly and was about to grab her.
However, the look in Vananeru's eyes suddenly turned frosty as she ordered, “Kneel down, you lowly insect!”
She spoke in authentic Thymionan, and an invisible but terrifying pressure emanated from her.
Pedor was taken aback.
Torny and the man in white also realized that something was wrong. The former looked at Vananeru and said hesitantly, “You're...”
Suddenly, a ball of light descended upon Vananeru, and shortly after, Galad's primordial spirit appeared before her.
Vananeru immediately returned to her normal state.
“Oh no, this is the manifestation of Master Methendriel's clone!” Torny, who was quite well-informed, immediately recognized it. He then remembered the legend and looked at Vananeru in horror. “Are you the daughter of Master Methendriel?”
Vananeru said coldly, “That's right, my father is Galad Methendriel. I will make you pay a heavy price for offending and hurting the man I love.”
Horrified, Torny felt his heart sink, and he hoped he could just die on the spot.
If one played with fire too often, one would eventually get burned.
He had done many despicable things, and today he had finally learned his lesson.
Instantly, he knelt down and commanded his son, the man in white, and his subordinates to do the same, too. “All of you, kneel down! Hurry!”
The others didn't understand why, but they did as told anyway.
Torny then respectfully said to Vananeru, “I was foolish and blind to have offended you. Please don't hold it against me. I beg for your forgiveness.”
Following that, the arrogant and condescending Torny actually slapped himself in the face.
The others followed suit and slapped themselves in the face as well. Within the blink of an eye they had gone from being intimidating to pitiful.
Surprisingly, the drastic change in their attitude didn't seem weird at all.
At that instant, Jonathan finally came to understand the powerful authority that Galad held in Thymion.
That terrifying power of his was equivalent to that of a king that conquered the entire world.
“Get lost! We'll settle the score tomorrow,” Vananeru said sharply.
She, too, could be menacing and wasn't always as quiet and graceful as her usual demeanor.
Torny and his gang quickly scampered away in relief.
After they left, Vananeru immediately went to Jonathan and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
Jonathan smiled weakly and said, “I'm fine.”
Immediately, Vananeru helped him up and said, “I'll take you to the hospital.”
Jonathan didn't refuse.
Before long, they hailed a cab and went directly to the hospital.
During the ride, Jonathan recalled the Thymionan conversation Vananeru had with Torny, which he didn't understand. So, he pretended to be curious and asked, “What was that strange light just now? Why were Torny and the others so afraid of you?”
Vananeru became a bit uneasy and didn't know how Jonathan would react if she told him the truth.
Jonathan immediately guessed, “Are you a princess?”
Vananeru shook her head and replied, “No.”
Jonathan said, “Then your family background must be quite impressive. I...”
Concerned, he questioned, “Will your father accept me?”
When Vananeru found out his concerns, her gaze turned tender and she reassured him, “Don't worry. As long as it's someone I'm like, my father won't object.”
Jonathan immediately became excited and asked, “Do you like me?”
Blushing, Vananeru nodded after a brief moment of hesitation.
Speaking of which, Pedor, Torny, and the others were indeed annoying troublemakers, but they had inadvertently played the role of support in Jonathan's plan. After all, Jonathan wouldn't have been able to win Vananeru's heart so quickly without them.
Moreover, this matter wouldn't seem like a coincidence or raise any suspicion because Vananeru knew about Pedor's character.
Besides, it was also impossible for Jonathan to have asked Torny to put on an act with him.
Jonathan hugged Vananeru in excitement while the latter silently allowed him to embrace her.
It was such a sweet and peaceful moment that Jonathan found himself indulging in it.
He felt like he was looking at a beautiful vase, but in the end, he had to cruelly smash it.
“Vananeru,” Jonathan suddenly called out softly.
Vananeru looked up at him. Her lips were so tempting and rosy.
Jonathan almost couldn't resist kissing her, but in the end, he didn't.
“What's wrong?” Vananeru asked.
Jonathan took a deep breath and said, “Nothing. I just feel like everything is happening too suddenly, and I'm filled with so much bliss.”
Vananeru shared his feelings and hummed in agreement while burying her head in Jonathan's arms.
Jonathan's heart sank even further.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital and alighted from the vehicle.
That was when Vananeru's phone rang.
