The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1302

…

A month has passed since the time when Xin Ja escaped…

In a luxurious villa, a young woman wearing a two-piece black bikini is currently sitting on a beach chair while taking a sip of her freshly served lemon juice.

And beside her sits a woman with a well-built body bordering sexiness and masculinity.

The two's figure is attractive and has garnered the attention of almost all the men in this area.

"Clare, how much did you earn in our last hunt?" asked the beautiful young woman in a black bikini.

"Well, give or take roughly around 200k Sumar…" Clare Benet replied as she too took a sip of her drink.

"Hmm… If we continue like this, we would not have to worry about anything…"

"Miss Osmond… May I remind you… This is not a permanent thing. Sooner or later, you still would need to return to the Osmond clan." Clare commented on the side with a smile.

Lea Osmond is the beauty in a black bikini who is trying to relax in this poolside resort in Dee city.

As she looks at the horizon outside the city where the wilderness is, a figure suddenly appears in her mind.

"How do you think he is doing right now?" she suddenly muttered.

Clare froze for a second then shakes her head.

Not long after that incident where Adam Summers escaped the prison, Lea did some investigating and found out that it was not Adam who actually kidnapped the women. In fact, there are other witnesses but the union did not investigate this further because of the influence of that Leo Carbin and his master.

After learning of the truth, she lodges a complaint at the Union.

She did all she could as a friend to try and reveal the truth which leads to some of the families and clans complaining about the tyranny brought by the influence of Chloe the fire mage.

The Union president did not have a choice but to appease everyone by addressing the concern about what is happening on the training grounds.

Although the Osmond family did not intervene in public, Lea could still feel her family's hands in the situation.

How could she not when everything ran smoothly?

Even Chloe did not cause her trouble and was silent throughout the ordeal.

But this silence did not last as a week ago… a hunting team discovered a rotting corpse in the forest and brought it back to the city.

The corpse is partially rotting and partially eaten. After an autopsy, they discovered that the corpse belongs to the D-rank Leo Carbin and that he died due to the neurotoxin in his body from an arrow lodged in his body.

The Union knew that there is a strong creature that made the forest their home. These creatures use bows and arrows, swords and shields, and have a primitive lifestyle.

They would not actively hunt people, but if a person intrudes on their territory, then death would surely come to such a person.

A voice recorder was found in the corpse's body and has confirmed that it was really Leo Carbin.

After that, Chloe the fire mage seem to have suddenly lost her sanity as she quickly assembled a team and began scouring the forest.

Everyone knew who she was looking for. And that incident has just happened yesterday, so Lea feels a bit worried.

"Hi… We noticed that you two ladies seem to lack… companions. Me and my buddies…" a young man suddenly approached them which interrupted the conversation between the two.

This annoyed Clare a bit as she showed a frown on her face.

"Sorry but… we are not interested… Please…" Lea politely rejected.

But her words seem to make the three guys agitated and annoyed as if they were shamed.

"We politely invite you and you think that you can just ignore us? Who do you think you are?" one of the men suddenly said with a glare on his face.

Lea and Clare were a bit surprised that these fellows would react as such.

"Miss, I suggest you agree with our invitation. Even if we drag the two of you, no one would stop us in here." The other man said with a grin on his face.

However, Lea and Clare just yawned as if the two are getting bored from the words of the three young men.

"Are you treating us like air?! You should know your place… bitches!" the leader of the three suddenly extended his hand to grab the hair of Lea who is closer to him.

He is confident in doing so because he is an E-rank awakened. Although he did not work as a porter or was not trained by the Union, he still is able to train in fighting due to the influence of his family.

And now these two women look down on him and his friends, how could he not get offended?

But before his hand could grab Lea's long hair, a strong grip suddenly stopped him. To his surprise, the muscular woman is actually stronger than him which made him show astonishment in his eyes.

Crack!

With a slight force, Clare could feel the cracking sound from the young man's hand.

"No… No… I'm sorry… This… this is just a misunderstanding…" the young man suddenly said while his face contorted in pain.

"Good that you know it… Now scram before I throw you guys out of this place…" Clare threatened.

Lea looks at the scampering young men and the two chuckled.

When the three figures walked away, Lea's face suddenly turned serious when she noticed the person walking toward them.

"Long time no see…" Drake Carbin greeted with a grin on his face.

"It seems that your beauty would always attract some pests…" he added.

"Yeah, like the one right now…" Lea said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Drake's expression turned ugly, and then he glared at Lea.

"I know that it was him that killed my brother… I'm just here to ask you,… where is he?" Drake asked in a deep voice.

"Hahaha… You were the one who chased him away and let him escape… You're the one who causes your brother to die, now you are asking us? What a presumptuous person…" Clare suddenly sneered.

The two women then covered their bodies with a towel as they feel disgusted by Drake's roving eyes.

"You can say whatever you want… But sooner or later, I will find him…" Drake said in a cold tone.

"And when that happens, you will be the next one to die…" Clare suddenly interrupted.

"You keep underestimating your enemy, that's why you guys would always fail… I hope for once, you use your brains and move on with your lives…"

Her words made Lea and Drake pause as they did not know whether she is supporting Drake or helping Adam.

"If I were you… You work hard to grow, and then think of revenge after… Weak as you are now, if he could kill your brother, how much more you…" Clare said as she grabbed Lea's arms and drags her away from the guy.

Drake was a bit stunned and began to think.

What Clare said was the truth, if he would continuously hunt that guy, then he would just his time and sooner or later, he would end up a corpse.

But if he works hard in hunting and learning and fighting, then there might be a chance for him to win against that guy.

As this thought dawned on him, Drake seem to have an epiphany and quickly stood up. A strange determination covered his eyes combined with the desire to kill his enemy.

"Adam Summers… Wait for me… I'll make sure that I will gain enough strength to kill you with my bare hands…" Drake muttered as he walks out of the resort with a renewed determination in his eyes.

…

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, a figure is currently panting heavily with heavy wounds on his body that some of his bones are even showing.

But, right now, his skin is growing back as muscles are regenerating at a rapid pace.

It has been a while, and he did not know when the last time he rested like this.

Around him are dead demons that look like gorillas with silver and dark blue fur.

Xin Ja has been fighting non-stop in the deep forest and he did not know where he is right now.

He would sometimes come across some parties that are also hunting demons and demon beasts.

After all this time staying in the forest, he has already broken through to the second layer which made him feel a bit weird.

The reason for this is because… he could feel that he is not at the second layer, but instead in the second realm.

As he circulates and continuously absorbs the Ki of the beasts he kills, he has discovered that his meridians have grown to such a degree that it seems like the ones that his master has described to him, the meridians of Ki Masters.

But Xin Ja has no way of knowing unless he goes back to the other side and then looks at his dantian again.

But for now, he has no desire to go back and expose himself for the time being.
