The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1298

…

Being accused of attempted rape and caught in the act made the case of Xin Ja a bit difficult. They did not even give him someone to defend his case.

And so, as Xin Ja stood there under the accusing gazes of everyone, he feel a bit calm.

If this had happened when he was young and inexperienced, he would surely cave-in at the pressure. He was a bit introverted, actually, even now, he feels the same thing as that uncomfortable feeling in his heart seemingly wanting to surface and make him hide away from these people.

But the confidence he had built for 3 years, gaining strange names for himself in the kingdom of Jimal, made him stand in front of these people able to handle the pressure they gave him.

"Adam Summers… You are accused of abducting two women, and attempting to rape them… How do you plead?" Burges Grim said while looking straight at Xin Ja.

In fact, the mere presence of the President of the Union at this time gives everyone in the hall a slight shock in their hearts.

What is the reason for the president to preside in this case is a bit baffling to them.

Xin Ja looks at the middle-aged man in front of him and then at the two young women. He did not know how to react to how those two looked at him with those accusatory glances.

"Not guilty…" he said calmly.

A cacophony of voices erupted inside the hall which made a lot of people frown.

"How could he be so shameless as to plead not guilty? I heard that he was seen at the crime scene and was beaten…"

"This is outrageous, he might be handsome and all but being too shameless is really hateful…"

"We should just beat him to death!"

"Kill that bastard!"

The women became riled up.

Within the crowd, two young men look at each other with satisfied looks in their eyes. A slight sneer could be seen on their faces while looking at the figure of Adam. It was like they are looking at someone who is very stupid.

"Then let us proceed with the case…" the president said as the start of the trial began.

The case was presented and the evidence has been shown, the lawyer standing for the two women began his rebuttal which turned the tide against Xin Ja who just answered the questions truthfully.

When Xin Ja's turn was about to go, a person suddenly stands up.

"President Burges, I think the accused should not be permitted to talk… I've heard that he has a weird ability to subdue those that hear him talking… It would be safer for us that way… Oh, by the way, it was my teacher… Miss Miller told me this." Leo Carbin said with a polite smile on his face.

His words made everyone turn silent as they did not expect that such a person as a D-rank would actually be interested in such a proceeding.

Although Burges Grim is a person who is a bit impartial, he too also knows what is at stake if Chloe Miller would surely be involved in this matter.

She is known as the Great Fire mage… In Dee city, she holds a high position within the Union which could almost rival that of the Burges Grim.

Before he could say something, everyone suddenly heard someone chuckling.

"Hahaha… Do as you deemed fit… You guys would soon be dead anyway…" Xin Ja chuckled.

He felt a bit wronged and a bit angry, but he did not retaliate. If he so wanted to, he could actually get out of this place by coming back to the other side... however, he chose not to do so.

He still has a lot of things to do in this place, and he still needed to grow. So this kind of scheming is something that he has already expected.

If worse comes to worst he would just escape this place.

Everyone was silent and many glared at him for saying such things.

He was taken back to his cell and was thrown like a rug while a few guards even punch him.

That night…

Xin Ja has two visitors… the Carbin brothers.

"Why if it isn't my old friend, Drake… and his brother…" Xin Ja greeted with a smile.

The two frown as they noticed that something is wrong with the guy.

"Did you turn crazy after all that beating?" Drake asked while looking at Xin Ja suspiciously.

"It seems that you are in a high spirit… We are just here to pay back what you've done to my brother…" Leo said with a wave of his hand.

A guard gave him a metal rod as he showed a sinister smile.

"It seems that the two of you are going to treat me real good tonight…" Xin Ja sarcastically said with a smile.

Bam!!!

The rod hits Xin Ja's back and the impact made him curl up in pain.

"Beat him up!" Leo commanded his brother who excitedly began punching Xin Ja.

Blood began to seep out of Xin Ja's mouth as bruises appear on his face and body.

But he did not do anything as he just put up his hand to cover his face every now and then.

Suddenly, a rod flew towards him targeting one of his eyes.

He knew that this would be very serious if one of his eyes is hit. So without hesitation, he suddenly shifted his body to the left and dodges that metal rod.

Then with a precise movement, he tackled the body of Drake Carbin as if he is a snake wrapping around him.

Crack!!!

One of Drake's arms was grabbed by Xin Ja and without hesitation, he dislocated it.

"Shit! Big Brother, help me!" Drake shouted while gritting his teeth in pain.

The eyes of Leo bulge in disbelief as he watches those weird movements. He did not expect that after being besieged by his brother, the enemy would still be able to retaliate even by breaking his brother's arm.

"You're dead!" Leo shouted.

Crack!

This time, the other arm of Drake was broken by Xin Ja.

Before Leo could attack, Xin Ja has already rolled to the ground away from Drake who is on the ground with a face filled with a painful expression.

Bam!!!

The rod struck and Xin Ja was not fast enough to dodge it so he just shifted his body to lessen the impact.

Bang!!!

His body hits the prison wall really hard.

At this time, before Leo could do anything, he saw something rolling on the ground.

Psst!!!

Suddenly gaseous substance came out of the object which startled him.

It did not take long before the whole prison cell was covered with smoke.

Leo waves his hand and a gust of air appears inside the prison cell blowing the smoke away.

But this time, he showed a flabbergasted expression on his face.

This is because, right at the wall of the cell, there is a hole that could fit a single person if he jumps out of it horizontally.

When he saw the hole, his expression turned ugly as he glared at it.

"You wanted to escape? Hahaha… That was your biggest mistake. I will make sure that you will die out there." Leo said in anger as he helped his brother up.

Before hunting that bastard, he has to help his brother recover from his two broken arms.

"Big brother… You must kill that bastard!" Drake shouted as he was taken inside the infirmary.

At this time, several instructors and awakened are gathered inside the Union's lobby.

"This is the target. An F-rank trainee… He was last seen going towards the outer part of the city in the northern location…" an instructor explained.

"Wait a minute… northern part? That's the location of those ugly giants, right?" one of the awakened who wanted to join the hunt said with an astonished expression.

"If he is truly going there, then we do not have to worry anymore… I think even his bones would not be found in that place…" another one said.

"Regardless of the situation, I am going to commission everyone here to find that guy dead or alive… I will pay 5,000 Sumar each… and if you can find that guy alive then I will give 100k Sumar." Leo explained with a crafty smile.

"You wanted to escape? Did you want to run? Then let us see if you can run away from the pursuit of the awakened from Dee city Union… Hehe…" Leo thought.

"Haha… Leo is a bit generous today, this is unusual… I guess this guy has truly offended you." Another awakened commented.

"Hehe… This guy dares to hurt my brother and rape women, I would do anything just to capture that guy…" Leo said while trying to display a righteous disposition.

When the people heard his declaration, they knew that the guy is truly resolved to chase after the trainee. As awakened, they did not want to miss this chance to earn both money and merit.

It did not take long before 10 awakened set out to hunt Xin Ja.

Out of the 10 awakened, 3 are D-rank and the rest are E-rank. With this lineup, Leo is confident that Adam would be apprehended in no time at all.
