The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1414

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 14

…

Xin Ja did not want to intrude and was just attracted by the scene before him. But who would have known that these people would suddenly pick on him?

He is just confused right now because he could not detect any Ki-Champion or Ki-Master in this area which should always be patrolling the city and maintaining the peace.

From the looks of it, these guys belong to the upper-class people of the kingdom, the nobles. They have the audacity to do this in public because they might also know that there would be no one to stop them this time.

When he shifted his gaze to the two women, he could see the worried look in their eyes.

But how could Xin Ja be afraid of these folks when he is not even afraid of the royalty in the Jimal kingdom?

With his strength now, if he is not fit against a primary stage Ki-Grandmaster then he could only bully those in the same stage as him or lower.

As the man walks toward him, he just stands there looking at the young man.

Then the young man suddenly punches his gut. The punch was simple and quick, but in his eyes, everything is in slow motion.

He did not dodge nor do anything and just let that punch connect to his stomach.

Pa! Crack!

Everyone began laughing except for the young man.

"Hahaha… That would teach him a lesson to…" someone commented but stopped halfway as he noticed the reaction of his friend.

Everyone who is laughing with him also froze as they look at their friend who is suddenly holding his hand and a pained look on his face could be seen.

"Oh, you broke your hand…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

When the guy's fist connects, he angles his stomach so that the fist would slide. And because of the force, it actually dislocated the man's hand.

"Arrgghh!!!" he suddenly cried in pain which froze his comrades.

"I don't want any trouble… You guys just run along now… or else…" Xin Ja said while showing a big grin on his face.

His grinning face for these young men is like a grin of a beast ready to pounce at them. Then they could also feel that slight killing intent which almost froze them on the spot.

However, not everyone cowers before him.

"Who do you think you are?!" one of the burly ones in the group suddenly shouted as he charges at Xin Ja.

He could only look at that guy and shake his head.

He did not want trouble as all he came here to do is to visit the Alchemy Association and look for Rou Chenchen. He just wanted to know why she did not touch his messages and how is she doing.

It has been a while since he last saw her and talked to her, so he feels a bit worried now that he is in the capital city.

But then now he is in trouble because of these reckless fellows, he could only lament on his luck while looking at the charging young man before him.

Without any suspense, he lifted his feet and suddenly delivers a frontal kick at that guy.

Pom!!!

The man's figure suddenly flew backward like a cannonball as he bounces on the wall before fainting on the spot.

"Hmm… Sturdy wall…" Xin Ja commented.

Everyone froze on the spot, but then an angry roar woke them up.

"Get him!" someone shouted which seem to rile up everyone.

As they charge at Xin Ja, he just sent them flying and hitting that wall before fainting. Soon, the only one left is their leader who is now trembling in fear while looking at him.

As he takes a step forward, Xin Ja suddenly stopped.

"That is enough young man…" a voice coming from the onlookers on the side interrupted him.

Then a middle-aged man walks toward him with a calm stride.

"I will not hurt him…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

The middle-aged man did not say anything and just looks at the scene before him.

"You've just offended a lot of noble families by doing this…" the middle-aged man said with slight anger on his face as he shifted his gaze at Xin Ja.

With a smirk, Xin Ja did not say anything and just shrugged his shoulders.

"I was minding my own business when they came after me…"

The middle-aged man frowned and then asked him.

"What is your name?"

Xin Ja showed a faint smile on his face and then replied.

"I am Xin Ja… I came from out of town…" he said.

The middle-aged man's frown deepens as he contemplated something.

He could not see the true cultivation level of the young man as all he could see is that he is a primary level Ki-Fighter. But he knew that this is not correct. How could a mere primary level Ki-Fighter send a few men in the Ki-Adept realm flying like they were nothing?

He knew that the young man is hiding his strength… plus, that name sounds familiar.

Then someone whispered in his ears something and his expression changed.

He then looks at Xin Ja and then nodded his head in understanding.

"Then we are sorry to interrupt this young sir. But can you let me bring them away from here?" the middle-aged man asked.

Xin Ja nods his head and a few young men came forward and took the young men away from the area.

After the crowd disperses, the two young women walked closer to Xin Ja and then give him their thanks.

"Thank you for helping us…" the taller one said with a bow.

She knew that if this young man did not help them… then their honor and dignity would have already been ruined by those profligate young masters.

"I am Rong Ching and this is Rou Mei…" she introduced.

The family name of the latter made Xin Ja subconsciously looks at her. He did not know if the young woman is related to Rou Chenchen or not, but he has a vague feeling that she does.

"To thank you for what you've done, can I invite you to a meal?" Rong Ching asked with a smile.

She finds the young man before her a bit attractive. Not only is he strong, but he also has a good heart, so she found him more pleasing to be with.

Xin Ja looks at the quiet and shy girl behind her and just nodded his head.

The three of them went to a restaurant and ordered some meals.

Though some of the people here did not have to eat, they still find this kind of activity fascinating and useful in conversations and making friends.

That is why in this luxurious-looking restaurant, there are many powerful people inside.

As he scanned the building with his Absolute Sense, he could tell that there are around 2 Ki-Champions like himself in this room, 5 Ki-Masters, and a few Ki-Adepts. And for the rest of the people... they are either Ki-Fighters or just normal ones.

Before the meal was served, it was Rong Ching who started talking.

"From where are you, Brother Xin?" she asked with a smile.

Though she is not as beautiful as the one called Rou Mei, her smiling face has that charm on them which makes her attractive.

Xin Ja just showed a faint smile on his face and then took a sip of the served tea.

"I came from a small town… Ogden." He replied.

"Oh, wow… What a coincidence… I have a cousin that has a fiancé that came from the town of Ogden." She showed a surprised smile on her face.

"Well, anyway… I just hope that we did not cause you any trouble… I… I did not expect that our casual trip outside would cause this much of a problem…" she muttered with a sad tone as she shifted her gaze at the shy young woman beside her.

"Are you here for the opening of the classes in the capital city?" She suddenly shifted the conversation to another topic.

Xin Ja shakes his head and looks at the window.

"I'm here to visit someone…"

Seeing the melancholy expression in his eyes, Rong Ching showed a slightly downcast expression.

Those look in his eyes shows that he seems to be already in love with someone. She could only lament the fact that his heart is already taken. She truly found the guy attractive and his kind disposition and humble nature made him really attractive to her.

She already has her fill of those arrogant and sadistic nobles. They might look handsome and powerful and all, but that is only for the surface. At first, she could feel proud of taming such a young master, but at the end of the day, such an attitude would still be there, and then she would wake up with the reality that he is not as she thought she could make him be.

So, she would rather be with a reliable guy, than those dreamy young masters.

Meanwhile, Rou Mei just lowered her head while listening to the two. In truth, when she heard the name Xin Ja, her mind is already in turmoil.

The reason for this is because… she is familiar with such a name. But seeing and knowing that a person with such a name is in front of her is a bit of… an impossibility.
