Chapter 21 Jonathan Made His Move
Such a carefree man like Jonathan would not feel that his pride was hurt.
He then turned around and walked into the CEO’s office.
Jessica and Yasmin were both on their lunch break in the office and were sleeping in alluring postures.
Next, Jonathan opened the door and went in quietly.
Yasmin’s sleeping posture looked better than Jessica’s. The latter was lying on her back on the couch and wearing a skirt with her legs spread apart unknowingly.
Jonathan tiptoed and looked over, but to his disappointment, Jessica was wearing safety pants.
Just then, Jessica woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Jonathan, who was sneaking around suspiciously. Soon, she realized that her pants could be seen. Hence, she immediately sat up and hugged her chest as she said angrily, “Jonathan, you pervert. What are you doing?”
Jonathan replied seriously, “Oh, I just want to verify whether you wear anything inside.”
Jessica blushed and retorted, “Piss off! It’s none of your business whether I wear something inside or not.”
Yasmin was woken up by the noise of the two. She only felt helpless at the sight of the two arguing with each other again.
Knowing that he was in the wrong, Jonathan said, “I’m just worried about you, so don’t get too agitated. I’ll leave then!”
With that said, he was about to turn to leave when a young man suddenly appeared outside.
The young man was wearing a white shirt. Moreover, his dark brows and sharp eyes made him look dignified. It was evident that he was a domineering CEO.
This young man exuded an intimidating aura as he walked calmly with his piercing gaze. All of these made him look like an expert in internal-style martial arts.
Seeing that, Jonathan immediately stopped and blocked the young man’s way. “Who are you? What are you doing here?” Jonathan then frowned and asked the young man since he must be responsible for the safety of Yasmin and Jessica.
The young man glanced at Jonathan indifferently as if he was looking at trash. After that, he said coldly, “Get out of the way!”
Jonathan grinned and responded to him, “Ha! That’s pretty arrogant of you.”
Just then, Jessica suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise, “Landon, why are you here?” She hurried over and said to Jonathan, “Pervert Jonathan, get out of the way. He is my cousin.”
Despite feeling frustrated, Jonathan could only get out of the way obediently.
Landon was Morgan’s grandson, and his full name was Landon Hamilton.
He was very friendly to Jessica as he let out a faint smile elegantly and stated, “I came here to handle some matters. So I stopped by to see you.”
Landon’s voice was magnetic yet firm and powerful. He was the typical style of the leading actor cast in a drama.
Hearing his reply, Jessica complained, “Landon, why didn’t you tell me in advance? I could have picked you up.”
The man replied smilingly, “That would be too troublesome for you.”
Meanwhile, Yasmin had also fixed her makeup and stepped forward. Stretching out her hand, she smiled at Landon and said, “Hello, Mr. Hamilton.”
Looking at Yasmin, a look of admiration flashed across Landon’s eyes.
In fact, Yasmin did look pretty. She looked a bit like a well-known actress. Moreover, with her calm and quiet personality, she would look like an ice fairy if she wore a white dress.
Landon and Yasmin retrieved their hands as soon as their hands touched.
“Yasmin, we met before,” Landon said with a smile on his face.
Yasmin beamed as well. “Mr. Hamilton, you haven’t eaten yet, right? It’ll be my treat today.”
Hearing that, Landon responded cheerily, “I’d be honored to dine with you.” Then, he paused and continued, “Yasmin, you and Jessy are best friends. So, it feels weird when you call me Mr. Hamilton. Why don’t you just call me Landon?”
Yasmin did not insist and said, “Landon!”
Upon hearing her reply, Landon smiled heartily. “That’s music to my ears.”
Jonathan watched Landon from the side. D*mn, it’s so obvious that you want to woo Yasmin!
However, he had no objections about that as he thought that Yasmin had to marry someone one day. It was just that he still needed to observe Landon’s character.
He treated Yasmin like his own sister, so he was concerned about matters concerning her.
Then, Jonathan quietly left as he did not have the need to stay in the CEO’s office. Arriving at the other office, he started to tease other female employees. Later on, everyone began to joke with him, and he felt good about it.
Moments later, Landon went out with Yasmin and Jessica to dine together.
Therefore, Yasmin made a call to tell Jonathan that he did not need to pick her up today and that he could have his free time.
Knowing that Landon was an expert, Jonathan was not worried about the two girls. Hence, he decided to have some fun in the company until he got off work to pick Jennifer up as he had nothing else to do.
Meanwhile, Landon and the ladies had just left Emerald building and were about to get into the car when suddenly an Audi pulled up.
The car door then swung open.
Yasmin’s heart skipped a beat as she sensed that the people in the car did not have good intentions.
When the door opened, the first person stepping out of the car was Cyclops.
Then, he went to open the car door at the back respectfully for a man in his thirties.
The latter was wearing a white button-up coat and covered-up shoes. There was also a string of green rosary in his hand.
The man was not tall, but he had a strong body. To be specific, his body was well-built, not fat.
Cyclops seemed to admire this man a lot as he guided him all the way forward diligently.
The man did not talk much and walked toward Yasmin coldly.
Suddenly, Landon’s eyes lit up as he saw that this man was very stable while walking and had a luxurious aura around him.
Thus, Landon knew that this man must be an expert and couldn’t help but wonder, What’s his identity?
Yasmin’s and Jessica’s faces went pale. They could see that those people were here for the two of them. Although Yasmin and Jessica were not trained in martial arts, they could still sense the man’s terrifying aura. Therefore, they were very afraid at this moment.
Landon quickly blocked Yasmin and Jessica from those people as he noticed they were frightened and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Upon finishing his words, he said to the man and Cyclops icily, “Who are you guys? What are you doing here?”
That man was Cyclops’ senior, Nirvana.
Those people were all disciples of Strikezone Martial Arts.
Nirvana’s real name was Randy Tartal.
He looked at Landon frostily without any words.
On the other hand, Cyclops spoke up. “Go away. We’re here to find that bastard, Jonathan. Get him out here now!”
A trace of anger flashed across Landon’s eyes when he heard Cyclops’ words, as he was also an arrogant man. Hence, he could not tolerate Cyclops’ insults. Moreover, he did not know who Jonathan was as well. However, the way Cyclops talked to him was an offense and a crime that deserved death.
Those who practiced martial arts could not stand the slightest humiliation. Once they were infuriated, those who infuriated them would need to pay.
The next moment, Landon glared at Cyclops and hollered, “What a dirty mouth you have. I think you’re definitely looking for a fight!” Landon made his move as soon as he finished speaking.
He practiced Spirit Fist, the same skill as Harold Floyd’s. The latter had mastered this skill and defeated everyone who fought against him.
At that moment, Landon suddenly dashed forward like a snake coming out of a hole with a hissing sound at lightning speed. His hands resembled eagle claws, as if a mystical snake sticking its poisonous tongue out, and suddenly grabbed Cyclops’ throat.
A terrifying shockwave formed as he stretched his hand out.
Cyclops was taken aback by the sudden attack. However, as he was also a martial arts expert, he reacted fast and took a step back. Then, he raised his palm as if it was a knife and pointed it to Landon’s hand veins.
The skill Cyclops used was Veins Cutting Palm.
The martial arts Cyclops learned was from Strikezone Martial Arts, which originated from Kung Fu. Therefore, he had learned the skills—Eagle’s Ironclaw and all the Seventy-Two Supreme Grab. The Veins Cutting Palm was one of the moves in it.
Seeing Cyclops’ reaction, Landon sneered as he suddenly retracted his Eagle’s Ironclaw, and his whole arm immediately went limp.
Next, he launched the move—Ferocious Beast Trap, and his entire arm wrapped around Cyclops’ wrist like a python in an instant.
At that moment, Landon looked like a thousand-year-old snake, cunning and mysterious. As expected, Spirit Fist was meant to have both the form and spirit.
Cyclops was horrified, and he retreated in a hurry.
In a battle between experts, retreating meant losing the upper hand. Thus, Landon immediately went after Cyclops when the latter retreated. He launched another punch—Half-Step Crash Punch.
With a deafening bang, his fist flew out like a heavy bow shooting out its arrow.
This time, Cyclops could not dodge the attack and was hit in the chest, which sent him flying. He then spat out a mouthful of blood and stopped moving.
Seeing that, Landon grinned and turned to Randy again.
As things had turned out like this, Landon thought that he did not need to hesitate to make a move anymore. Hence, he gestured to Randy and said, “Shall we?”
Meanwhile, Randy was still glancing at Landon coldly without any reaction.
Landon was somehow creeped out by Randy’s gaze. He then gritted his teeth and shouted violently as he moved his body as fast as lightning.
He dashed forward and launched another round of Half-Step Crash Punch.
His attack was superb as it was his special ability.
His punch was so powerful that an outburst of gusts ensued, and the air around them reverberated in clangor!
With a shift of his body, his fist flew out like an arrow breaking through its bow. The fist aimed at Randy’s chest and abdomen with a strong lightning force directly.
Nevertheless, the latter remained on the spot, motionless.
Just as Landon’s fist was about to hit him, Randy’s chest and abdomen suddenly sank inward, and Landon’s fist fell into it. Landon immediately felt that the power from his fist was sucked away. Realizing that, he was shocked and knew that something terrible was going to happen. Hence, he intended to dodge, but the sucking force from Randy’s chest did not allow him to retreat his hand.
At the same time, Randy made his move. He stretched out his hand and gripped Landon’s neck instantly.
Randy then lifted Landon, and the latter’s face immediately went pale. If that went on, Landon was going to suffocate to death. He kicked his feet wildly as he was in extreme pain.
All of that had happened too quickly.
Not long ago, Yasmin and Jessica saw Landon rushing toward Randy. However, in the blink of an eye, Landon was the one being strangled by Randy in the neck instead.
Randy’s cultivation was extremely terrifying.
Cyclops was the King of Guards, but he was incomparable to Landon. On the other hand, Landon could not even stand an attack from Randy.
Jessica and Yasmin were horrified when they saw all these happening. The former’s face turned ashen, and she hurriedly shouted, “Stop! Stop now!” She could not watch her cousin getting killed without doing anything. With that, she rushed toward the two.
On the other hand, Yasmin was calmer and quickly called Jonathan.
When Jessica rushed over, Randy waved his sleeves with the other hand. A violent wind was produced by that action, immediately sending her flying and falling to the ground.
At that moment, Jessica fell into despair. She could not believe that Randy actually wanted to kill Landon in the middle of the day.
Suddenly, Yasmin yelled, “In this country, you’ll need to go to the prison if you kill people. So hurry up and let him go.”
Hearing that, Randy still had a cold expression on his face as he remained silent.
Nevertheless, Landon’s breath was getting weaker and weaker.
At that time, everyone in the company heard the commotion outside, and most of the people who enjoyed observing a chaotic scene quickly ran out. Jennifer also tagged along with them.
The crowd went pale upon looking at the scene before them.
Furthermore, the security guards rushed out as well upon hearing the noises. Yasmin hurriedly ordered, “Hurry up and save him.”
Upon seeing the scene, the security guards, including Donald, rushed forward and fought for them without giving it a second thought.
Nevertheless, Randy just stood there and waved his sleeve.
At that moment, his big sleeve was like a terrifying leather whip to flog those security guards out of the way. All of them moaned and groaned in pain, but there was nothing they could do.
Jennifer’s face also went pale, and she instantly thought of Jonathan.
At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed past like a gust of wind.
Jonathan had finally arrived.
As both the men’s fists collided, Randy staggered a few steps back before finally standing firmly. Jonathan, on the other hand, caught Landon and quickly stepped back a few steps as well.
Landon immediately gasped heavily as soon as he was placed down.
Jessica and Yasmin rushed forward to check on Landon.
“Landon, how are you feeling?” Jessica asked as she burst into tears.
Landon waved his hand with his reddened face and replied, “I’m fine.”
Yasmin and Jessica heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his reply.
Then, they turned to look at Jonathan.
The man’s appearance made them feel safe in an instant.
