The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1400

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 150

…

Xin Ja is in deep contemplation after hearing what the officers have told him about the current mission they are going be in.

Now that the middle-aged officer told him that the artifact they are going to retrieve is actually a thing that could create portals to the world of the demons, he was stunned.

Plus, he has learned that they are not the only force that would be joining this mission. There are other two forces that would come and after the rest arrives they would be briefed on their own teams and how they would go about the mission.

A day later…

Xin Ja heard that the young man who he sent flying is still in the ICU unit but he is now out of danger.

The village is only so big that he would sometimes see those fellows walking on the streets these days.

Every time he would notice them, they would immediately lower their heads or go the other way just to not see him.

On the 3rd day though, while walking down the street, Xin Ja saw the young leader of that group.

She did not go the other way around but just walk straight right towards him.

"Excuse me…" she said with a cold tone.

Xin Ja nodded his head in greeting.

"You have been pressuring my comrades and it is not good for their mentality as a soldier…" she said frankly.

Xin Ja showed a slight smile on his face and then looks at the people from a bit distance from them. Those people also noticed this and showed a frightened gaze while looking at their leader who is confronting him.

"You guys should know that in this world, the strong rule the weak, right? That is the reason why you throw your weight around the village…" Xin Ja suddenly said.

"Whenever I see you guys, you would either bully someone or frighten them… I really despise people like you. If you are not part of the military, I would have already buried you a long time ago…"

"How about you? You are doing the same…" she suddenly rebutted.

"To you… I am doing the same to only your group." Xin Ja interjected.

"Do you see these people fearing me?" he pointed behind him.

The young woman noticed that some of them even showed smiles on their faces while looking in their direction.

Then she turns around and noticed the fear in the people's eyes while looking at her companions.

"I am stronger than you… not because of my power but because I gained respect around me… As long as I see you guys threatening people, I make sure that my aura will oppress you and that you people will not want to go to war ever again…" his pressure suddenly increases bearing down on her.

This made the young woman's expression paled.

She suddenly collapses to the ground with her body trembling.

Suddenly a middle-aged woman saw this and she quickly walked towards the two.

"Ey… You young fellow… Why would let this beautiful young woman fall to the ground…" the woman said while slapping Xin Ja's arm.

Xin Ja scratches his head and nods to the old woman.

"I'm sorry auntie… I was just shocked that she suddenly falls down…" he said while scratching his head.

"Alright, go now… I hope that you two have a nice date…" she said while giving Xin Ja 2 pieces of rice cake that he would always but on her stall.

She then winks at him with a big grin on her face.

The young woman at this time stood rooted to the ground when she saw the interaction between the two. She noticed that Xin Ja did not even get angry when he was hit by the old woman.

She just could not believe that a powerful person like himself would not get angry after getting scolded by a mere weakling.

Xin Ja did not want to talk to the woman anymore and just handed her one of the rice cakes in his hand.

"Remember what I have told you…" he said while walking away.

She did not reply and just watches him leave.

The rest of her group approaches her and then looks at her stunned expression that is still looking at the back of Xin Ja.

"What did that man say? Did he threaten you?" one of the young men in the group asked.

She did not say anything and just looks at the rice cake in her hand which is now turning cold because of the snow.

"Let's report this to the commander… I think it's time for the military to teach him a lesson…" a young woman said with a deep frown.

Their leader just shook her head and then looks at the middle-aged woman who is now hiding behind her stall while looking at their group.

The contrast is really big and it made her feel a bit ashamed.

"Let's just leave…" she said as the group left the area.

…

A week later…

The other groups have already arrived in the village and amongst the group, there are around 10 C-Ranks and 3 B-Ranks.

The B-Ranks made Xin Ja feel a bit uneasy because of the way they stood there like tall pillars.

From the looks of it, their uniforms did not show that they are from the military. This means that those three are from some powerful forces in the city besides the military.

According to what he had known about the B-Ranks and above, they already have a hint of their knowledge from before they came to this place.

For some reason when they unlocked their potential as an awakened, they have already become aware of the place where they came from. But since there are B-Ranks in this place where there is a chance to open the other part of this world, Xin Ja knew that there might be an A-Rank awakened.

And his conjecture did not fail him.

This is because, while the groups are waiting for the start of the meeting, the door opened and a tall and handsome young man enters the conference room.

Everyone quickly stood up and saluted at the man decked in military uniform.

Xin Ja squinted as he scanned the man's body, but his sight only displayed that the energy in that man's body is… incalculable.

This means that even with his strength which also upgraded the tech in his soul, it is still unable to determine the true strength of the A-Rank awakened before him.

"Everyone at ease!" a high-ranking officer called out.

Everyone took their seats and then looks at the few figures that stood in the middle.

"We will now show you the complete plan. After we did a thorough investigation of everyone in this place, we know that you guys are trustworthy and will be of great help to finally end this war against the demons…" an officer said while looking at everyone in the room.

Xin Ja frowned as it seems that he too was investigated secretly.

But his identity as Adam Summers should now have been exposed to the military, and yet he is not afraid of it.

If worse comes to worst he still has the other world to retreat into.

Then the man in front of the group began to explain what the military's target is and its purpose.

When Xin Ja realized that a target is actually a person who has accidentally entered the misty part of the snow forest, he was a bit stunned.

But no matter how he recalls… he had not seen any human in that area when he absorbed the mist.

"This is the location of the target…" the man pointed to a mountainside which is on the opposite side of the misty forest.

When Xin Ja saw the mountain, he quickly recognized it.

But he still did not see anything weird in that place which made him frown.

"The target is the daughter of one of our scientists that has discovered and repaired the artifact. Her name is Ella Exe, a 19-year-old college student. She stole the artifact and ran to the forest with it… We cannot pinpoint the exact location of the artifact, but we are sure that the signal is coming to that area…" the officer explained.

Suddenly someone raised his hand.

"This artifact is able to open a portal to the demons, right?" the guy is a C-Rank just like Xin Ja but with a weaker aura.

"Yes… and no… It is able to open a portal. But it needed a person to operate it. And that is the reason why you guys have another mission. We heard from our scouts that she was wounded in the chase. So we need to make sure that she survives. She is the only one who can use the artifact so far…"

Everyone looks at each other and nodded their heads.

"Ladies and Gentlemen…, we are racing through time here. I heard that a B-Rank demon just descended deep into the forest. And that thing is heading towards the misty area. Though we are not worried because that mist can cause both man and demon to be disoriented… still we have to hurry."

After hearing the words from the officer, everyone turned silent.

"Alright! We're leaving at 20:00… Everyone dismiss."

The group then walked out of the room each with their own thoughts.

Meanwhile, the A-Rank and the 3 B-Ranks talked to each other inside the room. Unknown to them, a small device is in that room picking up their conversation.
