The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1408

…

The expression of Xin Ja is calm, which made everyone around him feel a bit awkward. They have read the reports about what this man did. He is not part of the military, but the report says that he seemed to have said about him serving the army or something.

They might need to further investigate which branch of the military he served, but for now, their main goal in this commission is to get this guy into the army.

He has a technique that would be of great help to the military. If they can popularize such a technique, then they would have another edge on the battlefield.

With such a technique, their commanders would be safer on the battlefield.

But it seems that the young man is going to pose a little bit of a problem judging from his expression.

"I did not come here to be extorted, but I came for a trade. I saw the military's capacity to battle… but your battling ability seems a bit lacking." Xin Ja said with a smile.

Well, he did not want to underestimate the military. They are able to face enemies with just around 200 of them versus more than thousands of demons. Even without the array that he put up, the army would be able to halve the size of the demons before succumbing to their deaths.

That is a feat that is worth praising.

"What do you want?" an old man with a general epaulet suddenly asked in a cold tone.

"I will help teach the military the technique… I can see that Master Vale has already tried the basic camouflage array. But it is a bit rudimentary… Though I am not that proficient yet, I've been practicing and learning these spells since young… So I have already memorized every array in that note."

"I need resources, metal, ore, anything that can be of use in crafting… If you can provide me with this, then I am willing to stay in the army and help out." Xin Ja finally put up his offer.

He is still young and has not the craftiness of these old fellows, so he could only put his offer towards them honestly.

"And why would we agree to that? We can just let Officer Vale, here learn everything…" an old man sneered.

Xin Ja stood up and then dusted his pants.

"Then I will bid you farewell. Thank you for your time…" he said as he turns around without hesitation.

He has already put up his offer and these fellows wanted to play mind games with him. He would rather deal with those soldiers on the battlefield than play politics.

Seeing the young man leaving without a heartbeat, the old man in the middle of the group suddenly called out.

"Stop…"

Xin Ja stopped from his track but did not turn around.

"We will think about it…" the old man said in a calm but a bit cold tone.

"Your audacity is infuriating…" the middle-aged man who was scolding Xin Ja a while ago suddenly snorted.

His snide comments and words have ticked Xin Ja a bit, so he decided to sneer.

"I have another request…" Xin Ja suddenly raised his hand with a smile.

"I will work with the military… But I don't want to see that guy…" he suddenly pointed at the grumpy middle-aged man.

This suddenly made everyone silent.

This time, Cohan Vale showed a slight smile on his face.

As a Shen in his previous life, he has already experienced being in power. But he also knows the feeling of being suppressed by the world itself. He wanted to break out, to fight against the heavens, but he could not.

When he decided to go to this side of the planet, he thought that he would be able to fully display his power as a Shen, but it seems that fate played another game on him.

As he looks at the rest of the men in the room, he could not help but shake his head.

He knew that these people are also Shens like himself.

And the way he looks at it, these old men are just playing with fire.

He could already tell that the young man in front of them is not that simple.

As a former Shen and a head of his own big clan in an empire on the other side, he could tell that the young man is holding a unique bearing… a bearing that does not belong to this world, but on the other side.

But what confuses him is the low-level aura coming from his body. He knew that the young man could exert a C-Ranks power.

He has already learned the strength equivalent of the rankings here on this side and on the other.

If he is not wrong, then this young man is already in the Ki-Champion realm. But how come he could only see a Ki-Fighter aura which is really strange?

"I agree!" Cohan Vale suddenly said as he stands up and walked towards Xin Ja.

"Mister Adam… Come walk with me…" he said without minding the reaction of the rest of the officers in the room.

Xin Ja and Cohan Vale walked out of the room and then took a path through a lush garden.

They soon arrive in a place where three women are sitting calmly on a gazebo while drinking tea.

"Honey! How is the meeting with those old farts." A beautiful and tall young woman with light brown hair suddenly puts down her tea cup and walked toward them.

Her long dress which looks like a balloon ball gown dances in the air as she walked near the two young men.

When she reached Cohan Vale's side, she tip-toed and gave him a peck on his lips.

Xin Ja shifted his gaze at this scene as he felt a bit awkward.

Seeing his reaction, the two girls on the gazebo suddenly chuckled which further made Xin Ja feel awkward that his face reddened.

"Haha… Come, my darling… I would like to introduce to you my new friend here… This is Adam… Adam Summers." Cohan Vale pointed at Xin Ja.

Xin Ja was a bit surprised so he cupped his hand to greet the young woman.

Seeing his reaction, the expression of the young woman turned weird as she followed Xin Ja's action.

Xin Ja suddenly caught himself and scratches his head awkwardly.

"Damn it, why do I suddenly feel flustered from these women?" he thought as a hint of confusion enters his mind.

A slight glint appears on Cohan Vale's eyes but suddenly vanished as he patted Xin Ja's shoulder.

The five of them sits on the gazebo and talked for a while. The three women asked Xin Ja a lot of questions and become interested in his family.

When they heard his story, they were all stunned and realized that he too actually belong to a big family.

Dee city is further south and has a big population. Before the emergence of the demons, that city is known for its booming industry.

And the Summers family is one of the well-known figures in the city.

After some chit-chat, the group left while Xin Ja was invited by Cohan Vale to go to his office.

When Xin Ja enters the door, he already knew that it was not an office, but an underground tunnel by using his absolute sense.

"You seem not surprised… You already know how to use your spirit sense at such a young age… Hahaha… No wonder you were able to come here…" Cohan Vale suddenly said while seeing the nonchalance reaction of Xin Ja.

Xin Ja could already tell that the young man before him knew of his secret. But because the guy did not make a move on him, he decided to trust the guy. In fact, he does not have any choice in this.

If this man so wanted, he could easily defeat Xin Ja with just his brute strength.

"Senior is too polite. I have decided to trust senior in this matter…" Xin Ja said with a hint of respect in his tone.

"Do not call me senior… I'm just 26… I presume that you are around your 20's right?"

Xin Ja just nodded his head.

"Hahaha…  A 20-plus young man has already reached the Ki-Champion realm, if wonder which lucky clan did you belong to? Ahhh… No, if you belong to a clan, then you will not have such an attitude. Hmm…" Cohan Vale thought for a moment.

Xin Ja decided to tell the guy his name.

"Senior… this junior is called Xin Ja… I am from the Xin family."

Cohan Vale stopped as he was surprised to hear that clan name.

"Xin… right? The Xin Clan of the Northern Asrong Empire?... No… No… That might have been thousands of years ago…" he suddenly pondered.

"Actually, my family is in the Jimal Kingdom, under the Empire of Gong…" Xin Ja explained.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of Cohan Vale turned confused.

"Gong… Do you mean that small kingdom in the southern territory of Myrth?... So that small thing is now an Empire, huh…"

Xin Ja could not fathom what is happening in the mind of the young man. But seeing that he sees the Empire of Gong as a small kingdom means that his background is not ordinary on the other side of the planet.
