JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 136
Ronny was in the running mode as Jim opened the door, but his body language completely changed after seeing that there was no beast inside the room. In fact, there was nobody in the room, except that it was full of cylinders fixed to the walls. There were also beds and television.“Whoa…” Ronny entered the room and shut the door. There was even a red carpet on the floor. There were small bulbs glowing and lighting the room, so it looked beautiful. “I was not expecting there’d be a room like this.”“We’re going to be staying here for a while…” Jim touched one of the cylinders. There were seven cylinders inside, but these cylinders were almost thrice as big as the one he had used before.“What are those cylinders for?” Ronny asked.“It’s something that will help me with my cultivation,” Jim said.“Cultivation? That’s a very fantasy term.”“Well, that’s the best term I could think of,” Jim replied. “If I assume each cylinder is going to take six hours at the least, then seven cylinders w

Almost three days later.At Spring hospital.“It has been seven days. Why isn’t she waking up?” Lola looked really worried as she asked the doctor.“Don’t worry, ma’am. Her brain readings show signs of improvement,” the doctor told her. “She’s going to wake up soon. At worst, it’ll take another week.”“Are you sure?”“Yes, you should trust me.”After the doctor left, Marc looked at Lola. “I don’t think we should trust this doctor. Why don’t we take her to another hospital then?”Lola frowned. “Get a copy of the medication they’re using for Rena. I’ll contact other hospitals and ask if there’s anything wrong with the medicine she’s being given or not.”“I don’t think that’s a good idea. Different hospitals give different medication, so they’ll most likely disagree with this hospital’s report.”Lola’s frown deepened. “Then what the hell are we supposed to do?”“Either shift her to another hospital, or wait.”Just then, Rena’s best friend came to the hospital to see how Rena was doing. T

After Shiney shut the door, she stood by the door and observed Solomon.Solomon shook his head and ate a flower from the bouquet purely out of frustration before leaving the place.“This guy… Sis did tell me that he’s interested in me, but I don’t get it,” Shiney thought. “Why does he like me when all I do is sit at home for the past four years or so? On the other hand, he’s the creator and CEO of a retail chain, and his net worth is probably over ten million dollars. I’m sure lots of women are all over him, so why does he still want to date me? This is making things difficult for me. This is an unnecessary burden for me.”Solomon was a handsome dude, though he was on the swole side unlike Jim. Anybody who looked at Solomon would tell that he would spend a lot of time in the gym every week. His proportions were not to Shiney’s liking. Moreover, Shiney always had her eyes on Jim. In front of Jim, no man even came close to match him. No. Not one.Shiney went back to her room and washed
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 139
Jim had been reading the martial arts book for many hours now, which made Ronny wonder what exactly he was reading.“Is that book that interesting?” Ronny asked.“Well, there’s a technique in this book that helps the martial artist to levitate,” Jim said, “so, yeah, it’s exciting to think about.”“Levitation, huh. Like the superheroes in the movies.”“Yeah. Something like that,” Jim shifted his focus back to the book. “A positive vortex creates a negative vortex around itself, and levitation is one of its effects. If I create the vortex with vivre, then I’ll also be able to levitate, huh. But I think it’s going to take a lot of energy to fly. Come to think of it, airplanes also create vortexes with their turbines to create a pressure difference that helps them levitate. Birds also fly in the same fashion, right?”[You didn’t attend school all that much, so how do you know that?] Joe curiously asked.“Well, I might not have not attended school, but my dad still made me read those class
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 140
Many years ago.When Shiney was young, she came to Drake’s restaurant with her friends, and she asked her uncle Marcus for a free lunch.Marcus agreed, but Jim didn’t.“Why should we give you and your friends free meals?” Jim asked back. “Do you think we’re getting the ingredients for free?”“Did I ask you?” Shiney retorted. “Why are you interfering when you’re not even the owner?”“What? You really are…” Jim gritted his teeth. He was eleven years old at the time. Shiney was eight years old. He didn’t want to waste his energy arguing with her, so he went back to the kitchen and argued with his dad instead. “Dad, if you give her a free meal, she’ll bring her friends again every week. You shouldn’t do this.”“She’s your cousin, Jim. If she asks for something, you should do it as long as it’s a reasonable request,” Marcus replied.“Huh? How is this a reasonable request?” Jim asked back.Marcus put juicy chicken pieces on five plates. “Take these starters out.”“Why are there five plates?

Ronny had long finished eating all the food in the room, and so he was ready to move out any time.However, he could see that Jim was still practicing very diligently.“If I don’t say anything, it looks like he’s going to practice for an entire year,” Ronny muttered under his breath.Jim was standing with his eyes closed, so it looked like he was doing nothing. Howbeit, Jim was learning to move vivre through his veins as he wanted.[Feel the energy pulsing through the veins…] Joe whispered in Jim’s mind to make things easier for him. [Once your mind is in sync with the energy flow, the veins will resonate.]Jim followed exactly what Joe said, and he was able to release vivre all over his body just like he did in his fight with Pyros. This was the first time he was able to do it again after that. So, it made Jim feel a lot happier.“I finally know how to do the full-body energy release,” Jim said. He could feel that his energy was much more stable now. Even his breathing was normal. “

A few minutes passed.No noise came from inside the room, so Ronny couldn’t tell whether Jim was alive or not.“Damn it. Do I have to do everything by myself now?” he could hear his own heartbeat. “I don’t think I can do that, though.”Just then, the door opened.Jim stepped out, looking completely alright.Ronny was extremely relieved to see him. “I thought you died.”“Did I disappoint you?” Jim asked, not smiling.“Of course, not.” Ronny looked into the room. The hornet nest was gone. “Did you kill the hornets?”“I practiced my new techniques on them,” Jim replied. “Anyway, let’s go. It’s time to face the werewolf.”“What?” Ronny was shocked. “You want to face that monster? Don’t you remember barely escaping from that thing last time? Why do you want to face it all of a sudden?”“Because I want to test myself against it,” Jim said confidently. “And I think I can defeat it now. Even if I can’t defeat it, I think I can at least stand my ground against it for a while. So, there’s no ne

The werewolf was fast, but Jim’s eyes were able to keep up with its movements. Not just his eyes, but his body was also able to move accordingly. He ducked to the side and dodged the claws, but the werewolf slashed its other arm even faster.“Ngh!” Jim was forced to unleash a kick. He struck its forearm and stopped the attack in its tracks.The werewolf brought its mouth closer fast, trying to bite Jim’s face off.Jim landed a hook punch, which barely stopped the beast. “Damn, he’s quite heavy.” Jim felt his own hand hurting. “I don’t think I’ll do any damage if I don’t use vivre.” Jim released vivre into both of his hands.The werewolf, as if able to sense the pressure building around Jim’s fists, howled at him, releasing a gust of wind like it did in the past.Jim felt the energy in his body and hands shake slightly but not as much this time like it did in the past. “That’s not going to work this time!” he jumped in to punch, but the werewolf quickly jumped back. “He’s backing away?
