Chapter 538 The Grand Reunion
Chapter 538 The Grand Reunion
After Jonathan finished speaking, he also noticed some issues. His attire was quite antiquated, which was a white robe, making him look as if he was in a play.
The man was still very afraid of Jonathan, so he quickly said, “You don't look like a ghost! You don't look like a ghost!”
Jonathan asked, “What's your name?”
The man didn't dare to cross Jonathan, mainly because Jonathan's appearance was too mysterious. He said, “My name is Jace Lott.”
Jonathan said, “I'm going to ask you a few questions. Answer me honestly. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I won't give you a hard time.”
“Yes, what's your question?” Jace responded earnestly.
Jonathan asked, “Where is this place?”
Jace gave Jonathan a strange look and said, “This is Decton District on the eastern suburbs of Yaleview.”
Wow, I actually went straight to Yaleview! Jonathan couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. This will save us a lot of trouble!
At the same time, Jonathan also found the five-dimensional space channel to be truly fascinating. He had previously entered Moranta from Eastsummer, thousands of miles away. Yet, upon exiting, he
found himself in Yanjing.
“What's the date today?” Jonathan immediately asked Jace.
Upon hearing these words, Jace looked at Jonathan with an even more peculiar gaze. However, he still responded, “Today is the first of August!”
“Time in both locations flows at the same rate!” Upon hearing this, Jonathan had a clear understanding of the situation. He then said, “Lend me your phone for a bit.”
Jace dared not disobey, so he pulled out a Samsung phone from his pocket.
Jonathan picked up his phone and dialed Jeff's number.
The call was quickly picked up over there as well.
“Who is it?” Jeff asked. His voice was steady. He knew that his number was private, so anyone who could call in must definitely be an old acquaintance.
“It's me!” Jonathan said.
Jeff was immediately delighted and said, “Jonathan? What a coincidence. I just got off the phone with Mabel, and here you are, calling me.”
“Where is Mabel now?” Jonathan immediately asked.
Jeff said, “In Tayhaven.”
“D*mn it!” Jonathan muttered under his breath. To think crossing the vortex spread us across continents and seas!
Jonathan immediately said, “I'm on my way to Yaleview now. I'll come to find you at the Pearl Building later. Could you arrange my accommodation for me?”
“Sure!” Jeff naturally agreed.
Jonathan hung up the phone immediately. Then, he said to Jace, “Could you do me a favor and give me a ride? I need to go to the Pearl Building on Route Three of Yaleview. You know where that is, right?”
Jace nodded.
Soon after, Jonathan also got in the car.
He sat in the back, while the woman took the passenger seat.
The car then headed straight to Yaleview.
On the road, both Jace and the woman couldn't help but steal glances at Jonathan repeatedly.
Finally gathering her courage, the woman asked, “Did you fall from an airplane?”
Before Jonathan could speak, Jace said, “Aren't you being silly? If someone falls from an airplane, do
you think they could survive? We'd also get crushed to death.”
The woman also found it reasonable. She said, “But...”
Jace wanted to ask Jonathan something, but he was somewhat hesitant.
Jonathan chuckled, saying, “I've traveled back from the future. Soon, humanity will trigger a third world war, and the Earth will be engulfed in nuclear warfare. At that time, mutated zombies and monsters will be everywhere. There will be no nations among humans, only federations. I've come back to prevent the war from happening.”
“Ah?” Jace and the woman couldn't help but gasp in shock.
“Is what you're saying really true?” The woman asked, her face pale and her voice trembling.
Jonathan laughed heartily and said, “No.”
The woman and Jace immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “Who are you really...” the woman asked.
Jonathan was also feeling a headache. D*mn it. Even told I've told countless lies, I really can't come up with a suitable excuse to deceive these two curious people at this moment. I can never tell them the whole truth. If I do, it'll be even more unbelievable than the lie I just told.
With a glare, Jonathan said, “Why all the questions? I made a hot air balloon and accidentally fell out of it.”
“D*mn it!” Jace was instantly enraged. When he heard that Jonathan was just a hot air balloon
enthusiast, he thought, Why the heck should I be afraid of you? He immediately slammed on the brakes and said, “Let me tell you something, kid. You damaged my car, so you'll have to pay for it!”
Jonathan was taken aback for a moment. Then he grinned. “All right. I'll compensate you. How about three hundred thousand?”
Jace said, “Are you messing with me?”
“Exactly, I'm just messing with you!” Jonathan said with a chuckle. Jace was so angry that he was about to explode. Without warning, Jonathan quickly grabbed Jace's wrist, saying, “Aren't you getting out of line, buddy?”
“Ah, it hurts!” Jace immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
“Keep driving!” Jonathan, not in the mood for idle chatter, let go of Jace's hand and said coldly.
Afterward, Jonathan ignored Jace. Jace and the woman also completely settled down, not bothering Jonathan with a single question.
Jonathan closed his eyes in deep concentration, and as he did so, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Within the cerebral domain, the mind sphere no longer existed.
The chaotic energy had completely vanished, disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, Jonathan could no longer feel elemental energy in the surrounding air. Jonathan understood
that, from that moment on, his dream had ended. It was as if he had returned to the real world.
Everything about Moranta seemed like a splendid yet unreal dream. It also felt like a very realistic game!
However, Jonathan was still grateful for his journey to Moranta. He gained a companion, Torrence, and also obtained the dragon essence ball of Holy Dragon, which made his body even stronger. Additionally, his cultivation reached Level Three of Immortal Stage. That terrifying speed was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Around ten in the night, Jonathan arrived at the front of the Pearl Building. After the car stopped, Jonathan got out. As soon as he stepped out of the car, he saw Jeff.
Jeff, dressed in a suit, immediately gives off the vibe of a private school teacher. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What kind of getup is this?” Jeff couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jonathan.
Jonathan gave a wry smile, then said, “I messed up that guy's car. Can you help me cover the cost?”
Even though he might seem gruff on the surface, he was definitely reasonable.
Jeff smiled and said, “No problem!” Then, he pulled out a stack of money from his bag, totaling ten thousand.
“Is this enough?” Jeff asked.
“Enough!” Jonathan took the money and then came to the front of the car. He handed the money to
Jace and said, “This'll include the car repair costs, the fuel cost for you to bring me here, labor costs, tolls, and so on. This ten thousand shouldn't put you at a loss, right?”
“No, no!” Jace exclaimed with great joy. The damage to his car roof was minor and could be fixed for just two thousand. After all, it wasn't a luxury car. Hence, Jace was quite pleased.
“Get lost!” Jonathan finally said, clearly annoyed.
Jace quickly expressed his thanks, then started the car and drove off.
After all that, Jonathan finally came to face Jeff.
Jeff said, “Let's go. I'll take you to my place to rest first. Now that you're in Yaleview and Mabel is not around, it's only natural that I take good care of you. I can't let you be treated unfairly. Otherwise, Mabel will admonish me!”
Jonathan laughed and said, “Actually, I feel more at ease in a hotel.”
Jeff rolled his eyes and said, “That's not up to you!”
Therefore, Jonathan decided not to say anything more.
Even though Jonathan and Mabel had some unpleasantness with Jeff in the past, those disagreements were about defending the country and personal principles. Those disagreements did not affect their personal relationships, especially since so much time had passed. There were no hard feelings between them anymore.
Subsequently, Jonathan got into Jeff's Jeep Wrangler before the latter drove.
Only then did Jonathan find the time to appreciate the beautiful night view of Yaleview. Having spent a long time in Moranta, he found himself missing everything about the boundless universe. That place, after all, was where human civilization resided!
No matter how far he traveled, no matter where he ended up, and no matter how great his achievements were, for Jonathan, Chanaea would always be his home in the boundless universe.
Just then, Jeff's phone rang again. “Who is this?” Jeff heard the person on the other end chattering away in Ustranasian. His Ustranasian wasn't that good, and he couldn't understand the other person at all, which made him want to hang up in frustration.
“Give it to me!” Jonathan hastily snatched Jeff's phone.
“Hello!” Jonathan answered the phone.
“Jonathan, is that you?” The other side immediately became excited.
It was Torrence!
“Haha, Torrence, I'm glad my teachings weren't in vain. You can actually use a mobile phone now,” Jonathan said with a laugh.
Torrence spoke in a hushed voice. “You know, if it weren't for all the things you've told me about the main world, I would have been scared to death by this place. Where on earth did all those monsters on the road come from? They run so fast!”
“Monster?” Jonathan was taken aback, “D*mn, you're not talking about cars, are you?”
Torrence said, “Yes, yes! The car. I remember you mentioning it!”
Jonathan burst into hearty laughter, exclaiming, “So, in your eyes, cars are monsters!”
Torrence was somewhat flustered and frustrated. He asked, “Where are you? How am I supposed to find you?”
“Let me come to you!” Jonathan said, “Where are you?”
“How would I know where on earth am I?” Torrence exclaimed, somewhat exasperated.
Jonathan said, “Oh, you're right!” He paused for a moment, then added, “Okay, don't go too far. I'll come to find you as soon as I can. Let's keep in touch at all times!”
“How will you find me?” Torrence asked, filled with worry.
Jonathan said, “Don't worry, I will find you.”
Finding Torrence was quite straightforward. By using the phone number he had called from, his location could be quickly pinpointed. That was a piece of cake for Jeff.
Afterward, Jonathan received calls from Walrion, Yeverie, Beatrix, and Aurora, one after another. Everyone was scattered all over the place. It was quite a mix. However, gathering together was quite simple since everyone was from the boundless universe.
The toughest part was dealing with Torrence, who was undocumented. If he wanted to come back, he needed to connect with some local underworld figures to find a way!
However, that wasn't really that difficult.
It was clear that Jonathan wouldn't be getting a good night's sleep. He asked Jeff to pinpoint the location of Torrence. Fortunately, Torrence was not abroad but in a city up north. That saved them a lot of trouble. Immediately, Jeff dispatched a private jet to pick up Torrence with Jonathan on board.
