The Geared Immortal

Chapter 713

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao stood in front of his now finished room and showed a contented look on his face. The underground room looks futuristic almost just like the large facility he has on earth. However, it is a bit smaller and he is not sure if those lords on the surface would be able to detect that around 100 meters below them there is a large structure.

But he has to make this because he needed a lot of space for his experiments. He has to be able to do a lot of things if he has the space and freedom to do them. And in this underground facility which is very sturdy as it is constructed using some of the materials he has found and supported by a powerful magic array.

He knew that with this the facility would be able to stand the test of time. Not unless the universe\'s energy would vanish from the immortal land.

While looking at his creation and feeling a bit happy, Shin Jiao suddenly feel something is happening outside.

With a knitted brow, he took the portal up and appears at the first underground room he designated as the entrance.

As soon as he appears, Shin Jiao immediately expanded his psychokinesis and scanned the whole shop.

He could see the family of three huddled together with Hans Jung standing in front to protect his wife and daughter, while in front of him stood a pompous looking young man.

Grim Mills has a smug look on his face as he scowled and pointed his finger at Hans Jung. While behind him is a blonde young man with a proud disposition as he folded his hand and watches the drama happening in front of him.

"How could you do this? We already paid what we owed… if the town knew about this; do you still think the Mills could protect you?" Hans Jung said with an angry expression on his face.

Although afraid, Hans Jung did not cower under the pressure of those people who looks imposing.

"Haha… the town? Who would care about a measly blacksmith like you? Even if we imprison you and keep you captive, no one would be able to stop us… Hahaha…" Grim Mills shouted as he looks at Hans Jung with a scowl.

When his eyes landed on the fair and beautiful Eva Jung, his eyes were suddenly filled with lustful desire, but if one observes his gaze, it actually contains more than lust in it, jealousy, pride, covetousness, selfishness, greed, envy, and more. It\'s like he is looking at his old rival and at the same time longtime lover.

The complex emotion in Grim\'s eyes showed his feelings towards the young woman who is crying in the arms of her mother who is hugging her daughter.

Hans Jung and Lyn Xuan are scared but as experienced individuals and have gone through the baptism of life and death struggles in their old worlds, the two are able to control their emotions.

"Hehe… You guys will not escape my wrath for shaming me that time." Grim suddenly said and looks at the shop.

He seems to be looking for something or… someone.

"Where is that bastard?! Where is he?" Grim shouted to Hans Jung.

A serious stare just met his gaze, but Hans Jung did not say anything. He just stood there trying to protect his family.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao who has already seen this scene did not want to linger and did not want to just watch on the side. So his figure suddenly flashes out from the underground room.

When his figure appears, the people in the shop immediately noticed him.

Everyone\'s eyes turned vigilant, especially those that came with Grim Mills. They did not know where this person who just appears came from, but they could sense hostility from that person.

"Ahhh… Such a nuisance…" Shin Jiao said as he stretches forth his body.

He then looks at the group and showed a faint smile on his face. When the eyes of Shin Jiao and Holstein Mills met, the two immediately tried to gauge the strength of each other. Holstein with one looks snorted in disdain towards Shin Jiao. This is because he could already see that Shin Jiao\'s power level is lower than his, and so he deemed that Shin Jiao is not his opponent.

He was a bit dismayed and thought that he just went to this place for nothing.

But of course, letting his brother vent his frustration is also one of his goals.

"Restrain them… Grim… let get this over with…" Holstein Mills said with a bored expression on his handsome face.

With his command, the dozens of people behind them moved and blocked Shin Jiao\'s path and also surrounds the family.

Hans Jung now showed a worried look on his face. If something happened, then he might lose the child in his wife\'s belly. That is something that he did not want to happen. Although they are considered as immortals, the child in his wife\'s belly is not, it does not have a soul imprint yet in the immortal land. So if they are killed, his wife would resurrect without the child, and he could not let that happen.

So without a second thought, he immediately positioned himself for a fight to defend his family.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Suddenly, he froze on the spot upon seeing some figures flying all over the place. Some are even sent outside the shop through the windows and the broken walls. Those who are sent flying lay flat on the ground without moving.

This scene also astonished the Mills brothers who are now looking at the direction of the commotion.

In the middle of that commotion stood a young man with a relaxed expression on his face while patting the imaginary dust on his clothes.

Shin Jiao has already made his move against those who tried to block his path. Although he did not kill them with one move, he is able to cripple their ability to fight back and render them all, unconscious.

"It seems that I have to teach you guys a lesson before you would leave us alone…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Then he suddenly donned in a piece of gold breastplate which is different from the common breastplate used by the town.

The face of Grim Mills turned unsightly upon seeing the armor on Shin Jiao\'s body. While Holstein Mills showed a serious expression on his face.

"It seems that you are also a gold armored protector… I am Holstein Mills, and what is your name?" Holstein said with a short nod.

"I am Si Ji…" Shin Jiao replied while cupping his hand.

With his gesture, Holstein Mills showed a bit of reluctance in his eyes. What the young man in front of him showed is the gesture of the Long clan. If this young man is from the Long clan, it would be very hard for them to face the consequences if they offend him.

So Holstein decided to reign on his temper and decided to probe further.

"This brother… the family has offended my brother… hopefully you will not interfere with this… as a gesture of my appreciation, I would consider you as a friend…" Holstein said with a respectful tone.

Being his friend? Who does this person think he is?

Shin Jiao just sneered at the remarks of the young man.

"Haha… It\'s not them that offended your brother… It was me." Shin Jiao said nonchalantly.

He now walked in front of the Jung family shield them behind him. He then handed Hans Jung a piece of a metal plate.

"Go below and enter the room together using this... then wait for me." Shin Jiao calmly said.

Although a bit hesitant, Hans Jung still followed upon seeing the serious expression on Shin Jiao\'s face. Then the three went down the underground path without anyone obstructing them.

"It seems that this brother would not give me some face. Then pardon me for not giving you faces either…" Holstein Mills said as he suddenly extended his hand to grab the back of the last person going down the stairs to the underground room.

But before he could exert his domain, a strange force suddenly hit his hand. This made Holstein Mills a bit perplexed as he did not see Shin Jiao moving or doing anything. Yet, he could feel that something hit his hand at that time breaking his concentration and his domain.

And before he could recover, the three are already underground.

But Holstein did not bother with those three peasants. He wanted to fight this, Si Ji, in front of him and test his strength.

"Would you like to fight in here or…"

But before Holstein could finish his words, a voice interrupted him.

"The Mills are really becoming uncontrollable these days…"

Then a figure walked leisurely through the door. When Shin Jiao saw the figure he was a bit surprised and also showed a sheepish smile on his face.

Because he was too busy designing and creating the underground facility, he forgot about some of the things he should have done. Though it only took him around 2 days to construct the facility, his focus at that time is on his work. He even almost forgot the Jung family. Luckily for him, he finished on time and was able to come out of the underground facility and discover this scene.

If not, then he would be a great sinner towards the three. But everything is okay, now that he is able to at least save them.

However, the scene right now is different, he almost forgot someone who has been of great help to him so that he would be able to enter the town. Though he took care of her and rented the room and also heal her wounds, she still felt a little guilty for leaving her in the inn.

So now that she came to the blacksmith shop, he showed a sheepish smile on his face to try and cover his guilt.

"Why if it isn\'t Miss Zin… I thought you were in trouble by fighting against James… I guess he lets you off… Hahaha…" Holstein Mills said with a chuckle.

The beautiful woman standing by the door is Alea Zin who found herself alone in the inn after becoming unconscious after getting hit by that despicable woman, Marie Alduin.

But right now, what made her feel a bit worried are the Mills brothers offending the young man in front of them. She knew how strong this young man is, and also thought of the things that might happen if the Mills family would try to defend their pride.

She is actually afraid for the town and its people…
