The Geared Immortal

Chapter 895

(Unedited)

…

The steed in front of him was suddenly blown into bits but the bullet did not stop after the destruction of Xentong Han's steed. It flew straight towards him like an unstoppable object which made Xentong Han feel a threat in his life.

Without hesitation, he suddenly lifted his sword to block the path of that projectile.

Dang!

The loud reverberating sound almost made him deaf as his figure was sent flying towards a house that was turned into ruins.

…

While the battle is happening, on the tower, the expression of Prince Lamier turned grave upon seeing the battle on the ground.

"So you are the mastermind? Interesting… someone who worshipped the goddess of light is actually dabbling in dark magic. Very interesting indeed…" suddenly a deep voice echoed in the room which startled everyone.

A person is sitting leisurely with both of his hands clasped on the top of the table from one of the empty tables.

His eyes are glued towards the prince without even looking at the soldiers around him who have already drawn their weapons.

"Who… who are you? How dare you enter the prince's quarters!" shouted one of the guards as he pointed his sharp swords at Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao did not say a word and just look at the prince with a slight smile on his face.

Seeing this, Lamier Grav wanted to scold the person in front of him and attack but how could he? As a level 37 warrior, he considered himself strong and could hold himself against other warriors or mages below the Arch Magus level or 40th level. Hence he is confident of his skills and is very critical with his judgments.

But right now, in front of him is a man which looks like in his late 30's and seems to wield unfathomable power. He might not be able to tell the man's level, but he could feel that suffocating aura that a Grand Magus has.

Hence he dare not make a sudden move. He now knew why the Mystique Shop did not fear entering the city and would even not budge in front of an ambush. This is because of the guy in front of him.

"It seems that you do not know who I am…" Prince Lamier said as he calms himself and sits on one of the chairs.

"They call you a prince. So seeing your age, I'm guessing that you belong to the generation of the current king, right?" Shin Jiao said casually.

"That is correct. I am Prince Lamier Grav. And how may I address you?"

"I am Shin Jiao… I am the master of the Mystique Shop merchant group. People call me Master Shin…" Shin Jiao said as he casually waved his hand and a tea set appears on the table.

Upon hearing that this person is a prince and seems to be a direct relative of the king, he has already formulated a plan in his mind.

"It is an honor to meet the owner of the famous Mystique Shop. I have heard a lot about you guys…" the prince said casually.

"Well, let's cut to the chase…" Shin Jiao poured some tea on two cups.

He drank his cup and then sent one floating towards Lamier.

"This is my gesture of goodwill to the prince…" he said as the cup landed on the table in front of the prince.

Lamier looks at the tea and did not move. He wanted to deny it but he saw Shin Jiao drinking it so he is a bit sure that it is not poisoned. However, he still could not lower his guard.

He first took a whip of the scent of the tea. Upon doing this, his expression greatly changed. How could it not? He could actually faintly feel his body becoming light upon just a single whiff of the tea. Plus its aroma is really amazing.

Without a second thought, he downed the tea in one go.

"Master Shin… this thing…" Lamier's expression changed as he could feel something is coursing through his body making him feel invigorated.

Shin Jiao did not answer and wave his hand.

"I am just a merchant. Coming here is to give the Viscount a face. However, the prince has attacked my group. I would like to hear an explanation about this?"

Upon hearing this, the expression of Lamier Grav changes and turned dark. He knew that he has kicked a metal plate this time. He did not really do his investigation and thought that with the power of the soldiers in the city and through his secret machinations everything would not be exposed. But this guy seems to know that he is the mastermind for some unknown reason.

"How dare you accuse the prince?!" shouted a guard as he suddenly extended his blade and put it near Shin Jiao's neck.

But before his blade could touch Shin Jiao, it was already deformed and bent.

This scene made everyone in the room feel fear in their hearts. How could they not when they just saw a metal being twisted like it was nothing and without even touching it at that. How powerful could this person be?

If they really offended a Grand Magus, then it would be their funeral.

"Everyone stand down!… Master Shin, this is a misunderstanding. I admit that I was the one who orchestrated the attack. But could you really blame me for it? You are an unknown rising power. As members of the royal family, we have to protect this newly acquired victory against the forces of darkness after a millennium. So I could only do as such for the sake of the royal family…"

Upon hearing this reason, Shin Jiao was actually not angry. In fact, he also understands this in his heart, but how could he not take advantage of this situation.

"Well, if that is what the prince said, then how could we go about this thing then? I have provided the kingdom some weapons to fight against the enemy forces; I have produced some things that could give people happiness and a good livelihood. And yet you deem us as terrorists? Should you give me some sort of explanation about this?"

"Ah… Alright, what do you want? I can compensate you to the utmost of my ability as a prince…"

"Hmmm… I wanted to spread this technology in the whole kingdom for the people's benefit. And doing it little by little has a good effect, but the process is slow. How about this… How about I present my plan to the king and let him decide about the next course of action?"

When Lamier heard Shin Jiao, his expression turned serious. This guy wanted to see the king himself? But how could he let this person just casually meet the king? If this person has another motive then the kingdom would be in disarray once the king died.

Shin Jiao could tell that this prince is a bit hesitant and did not fully trust him yet. So he waves his hand in the air and then a thick book appears.

"This is my plan for the future… Since you are apprehensive of me… I will give it to you so that you can present it to the king himself. Talk to me afterward…" Shin Jiao said as he suddenly disappears from his spot.

Lamier Grav carefully opens the thick book and began reading and looking at what is written inside. The more he looks, the more his expression began to change. And the more he reads, the more excited he becomes.

"This… this is it…" he muttered as his eyes drifted to the window.

He stood near the window and look at the commotion down below which has already died down.

"Arrange the carriage… we will go back to the capital." Lamier Grav commanded as he held the book in his hand as if it was the most precious thing in the world.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao appears back to his mount and could see the devastation that happened while he was gone. They have already captured many soldiers and some heavily wounded ones are being treated by them.

"How is the situation?" Shin Jiao asked Xiamen Gong.

"Everything is fine… we have captured the mastermind. I wanted to kill this guy, but thinking of his sister in the Arjing City, I hesitated…"

"Good, we should still give village head Yein Han face for her kindness towards us…"

After those who are still alive were treated and those captured were tied down, Shin Jiao and his group did not bother with them and just put them on the side of the road.

They then continue on their journey to their assigned hotel and the escort soldiers who felt overwhelmed by the great force that this group is escorting.

It did not take long before they arrived in a luxurious-looking hotel to stay while waiting for the banquet to start.
