The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1271

(Unedited)

…

Xin Ja has proven his worth in the group as he took a sniping position while the three are fighting the vanguard below.

After the battle, he would even help them carry stuff which lightens the burden of the other porters.

The group is truly grateful to him, especially the porters and the collectors.

He learned that in their previous hunts, the porters would almost always meet a dangerous situation.

But with his presence in their group, they have hunted successfully and even have gotten a great haul. They truly appreciated his help this time.

While on their way back to the city, James Reeve sat beside Xin Ja.

"I hope that in our next hunt we can still invite you…" he casually asked on the side.

"Sure why not…"

How could Xin Ja let this opportunity pass? He has not gotten enough of hunting outside the city yet. Although the sphere inside his dantian is like an empty sea, because of the amount and level of demons he helped kill, the empty and dried sea has actually become a muddy ground.

It was an improvement of some sort.

Anyway, his harvest is already enough for now and he has to return to the city to take care of some business for the late Adam Summers.

Tonight he would be living as Adam Summers and visiting the family he never knows. Well, he would just pretend to be an amnesiac, that is the play anyway.

When the convoy went back to the city, they directly went to the Awakened Union and submitted their mission.

Xin Ja also finished his mission and many people showed friendly gazes and waved goodbye to him.

Unknown to him, the name Adam Summers would begin to spread throughout the union as someone who is able to heal any awakened even on the brink of death.

The story became exaggerated as his name suddenly became synonymous with a divine doctor of some sort.

But this is something of no concern to Xin Ja.

Right now, he is having a headache while looking at the enthusiastic young woman preparing all of his clothing.

He just stands there and wore anything she would ask him to wear.

3 hours later…

Xin Ja walked out of the changing room in the shopping center and his dashing appearance almost blinded Janet Cole.

"You are really as handsome as him…" she muttered while biting her lower lip.

"Thank you…" Xin Ja replied with a polite smile.

"Anyway, off you go… Oh, you have to pick up that… wife… of yours before going to the Summers." She said with an annoyed expression.

Xin Ja also frowned as he also did not want to deal with that woman. He did not want to have to say or do anything to her and what she has done to Adam… he just did not want to see her.

Showing a helpless smile on his face, he walked to the side of the road.

"I will let you borrow my ride…" she said as she gestured for him to enter.

The driver did not say anything and just waited.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yep, that woman would nag at you. At least this way, your travel would be peaceful…" Janet winks.

"Alright… Thank you." Xin Ja got inside the car and left.

While looking at the street, a faint smile appears on Janet Cole's dainty mouth.

"I hope that you can give my cousin some justice… I'm betting everything on you now…" she muttered as she turns around and left.

…

When Xin Ja arrive in the old apartment building, he saw Samantha Kane waiting inside the apartment. She is wearing a long black gown that flows perfectly on her body.

She is not as curvy as Janet Cole, but she looks attractive with her make-up on.

Most men would surely be attracted to her looks, but Xin Ja is different. He had seen far more attractive women in his life. His best friend alone, Qiang Yaoyao is already 100 times more attractive than this woman.

But of course, he is not after any beauty… because, for him, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. His girlfriend Rou Chenchen may not be as beautiful as any other woman in other's standard, but for him, she is the prettiest of them all.

"You… You've come at… at last…" Samantha Kane stammered when she opened the door and saw the handsome-looking young man in front of her.

Xin Ja is very attractive at this moment, with his fit body and impeccable handsome face. Although he is not as tall as other men with only a height of 5'8 or 1.72 meters, he still looks very attractive.

"Let's go…" he said calmly.

He then walked down the stairs and Samantha began chasing after him after she locked the door.

"You… Do you know that you are now in deep trouble? What you have done to Rome will soon have their consequence…" she suddenly said when she caught up with him.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just walked toward the car.

He opened it and then stood to the side.

Although he hated the woman, he is still after all a polite kind of guy.

Samantha Kane was flabbergasted when she noticed the car and the man before her opening the door.

When she enters the car, she looks around and was a bit amazed.

She came from a well-off family and had seen such things before. So, she could tell that the car is worth a lot of money.

"How… How did you get this car?" she asked subconsciously.

Xin Ja did not say anything and just looks outside the window.

A few minutes later…

They now arrive at a big restaurant, one of the famous restaurants in the city.

Xin Ja alighted from the car and then walked towards the entrance.

Samantha frowned as she waited inside the car for him to open. But Xin Ja did not feel like doing so.

She grumpily got off the car and walked beside him with a glare in her eyes.

"Do you expect me to still grumble at your feet after what I have seen?" Xin Ja said in a low voice as he walked towards the entrance.

Samantha gritted her teeth and followed behind him.

On the second floor hall of the restaurant, several people are already in there.

A festive atmosphere could be felt as the people inside the hall mingled with each other.

Several people are entering the hall and were greeted by the ushers of the restaurant.

When Xin Ja and Samantha Kane enter, they caught the attention of a few of the family members of the Kane and the Summers.

"Cousin! You've finally arrived!" a slender female wearing a dark red ball gown stood up from her seat and walked toward Samantha.

"How is your… married life?" she said with a mocking smile.

Samantha showed a fake smile as she too showed a sneer on her face.

"It's all good… I'm happy." Samantha said as she suddenly clings to Xin Ja's arm.

Xin Ja suddenly feels shivers running down his spine as the soft body of a woman presses against him. He could not help but show a frown on his face as he looks at the two glaring women.

"Petty and short-sighted…" he muttered as he turns his gaze elsewhere.

He saw a few men looking at him and has a stunned look on their faces.

This is because these men could tell that he is actually wearing a personally tailored suit. Plus his handsome face exudes his aura which covers theirs.

"Adam… You've come at last…" a young man suddenly walked towards him with his arms wide open.

He gave Adam a pretentious hug while patting his shoulder.

"How dare you appear here? Get lost before I drag you out like a dog…" the young man suddenly said.

Xin Ja felt a bit amused. How could these people think of doing anything to him when they are all just normal people?

But of course, he did not want to do anything as he was invited to this place by Adam's grandfather. If that old man is nice, then maybe he would show the needed courtesy. But if that old man is like the people in here glaring at him, then he would throw all the courtesy out the window, and might even beat everyone in here.

After that guy look at him with his pretentious smile, Xin Ja just nodded his head.

"Come… I think my cousin here has something to do… Please lead him outside." The young man suddenly said while calling for some of the Summers family retainers.

Four men walked toward Adam and surrounded him.

"Cousin, thank you for visiting grandfather, I will make sure that he received your greetings…"

With a nod of his head, the four retainers walk closer to Xin Ja.

Then one of them extended his hand and was about to grab Xin Ja's arm when suddenly a commotion from outside interrupted them.

An old man with a walking stick enters the hall while being assisted by a beautiful blonde woman wearing a body-hugging silver gown.

When the old man appears, the hall immediately turned silent.
