The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1437

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 37

…

Xin Ja has already teleported out of the fortress and appeared atop a tree while overlooking a strange place.

While traveling to this place he has already noticed that there is a great change that has happened in this area which is a bit of a distance from the fortress.

As he arrives by the lake, which has now turned dry, he saw that the gate is already gone.

"I guess, the gate is not here anymore and there is no need for the formation to stay…" he muttered as he looks around the place once more before he left.

Since he could not contact that guy anymore he decided to go and find the connection he has in the city, that Rank-A awakened, Cohan Vale.

After flashing a few times in the air, he soon appears near Evalence City. While looking at the city high up in the air, Xin Ja could not help but feel a bit astounded as he did not expect to see a slightly modern city with tall buildings.

It was like, he did not cultivate for 5 years only but for more than 100 years.

He did not know what spurred this progress to such a degree, but he did not dislike it. In fact, he could feel a bit of nostalgia while looking at such a modern city.

Of course, the city still has that wall and a few Goliath Suits are patrolling atop the walls.

He decided to go down and walk all the way through the gate to not get any attention.

As soon as he arrives at the gate, he takes out his original ID and presented it to the soldier guarding the gate.

The soldier looks at the ID and showed a deep frown on his face.

Xin Ja knew that the ID is already old and that they have a new system now. But of course, that did not mean that they did not have the old way of reading the IDs, right?

After checking the old ID in his hands, the guard picks up a palm-size box and then talks on it.

"We have someone here holding an old ID, please bring the old registry…" the soldier said.

It did not take long before a tall and handsome young man walked toward the office where Xin Ja is staying.

"Hello, I am Captain Rin… May I know your name?" the young man introduced.

"I am… Adam Summers…" Xin Ja introduces himself.

Captain Rin listened and then jotted down Xin Ja's name on a crystal screen in front of him. After a while, Xin Ja could now see a few data displaying on the screen.

"Hmm… It seems that you are… not an ordinary person. I actually did not have the level of clearance for this…" he said with a deep frown.

"Sir… would you follow me please…" he said as he stood up and led Xin Ja deeper into the military facility where he could see a lot of uniformed soldiers going to and fro busy with their jobs.

Xin Ja could not help but recall the time when Shin Jiao was still in the military and saw the same scene before him. Though there is a lot of difference between what he is seeing from what he had experienced back on earth, he still could not deny the resemblance of uniformed men walking around a hallway.

Even his experience as a soldier in the kingdom of Jimal is not close in comparison to the one he is seeing right now in the scene back on earth.

Soon, they arrive at an office where it said, Col. Saff, on the nameplate at the side of the door.

"Col. Saff, sir!" Captain Rin saluted as he enters the room after knocking.

"At ease… What is it soldier?" a slightly annoyed tone coming from the middle-aged man with a long scar on his face asked.

"I… I have a name come up… as confidential… sir." Captain Rin said with a slightly intimidated tone.

Upon hearing his words, Col. Saff looks up and then saw two men. His eyes landed on Xin Ja who is standing behind Captain Rin.

He scrunch his brow and frowned for a bit as he could not recall the face of Xin Ja. He then waves his hand and asked.

"Name…"

"Adam Summers…" Captain Rin replied.

The room was suddenly enveloped in silence as the hand of Col. Saff who is about to type something on the crystal display in front of him froze.

Then after a few seconds as everything registered in his mind, he looks in the direction of Xin Ja.

"You… are you telling me that your name is… Adam Summers?" he asked with a slightly trembling tone.

From his expression, one could say that he seems a bit excited.

As a colonel in the army, he has been serving for a long time. Though he did not meet the guy, in the research division, there is a name that would always reverberate in the mouths of the researchers… and that is Adam Summers.

That name is synonymous with the great change that has happened in this world.

It is known that the disciples of that guy named Adam Summers have revolutionized the way warfare and battle against the demons were fought.

It is also said that because of the technology that finally arrive in the hands of the humans, the demons did not have a choice but to cooperate with the humans so that they will be able to live in this world after they were chased out from the other side of the void portal.

And now, the same man is actually standing in his office… so how could he not feel excited.

As he observed the young man before him, he could not help but feel a bit shocked.

According to the rumors, the guy would appear to be weak. But one should not underestimate that guy because, though he looks weak, he is actually very strong.

Now that he had seen him, the colonel knows that what the rumors are saying seems to be the truth.

But of course, he still has to go through the routine.

"Can you wait for a second…" he said while typing the name on the crystal display.

Soon, his clearance was approved and an image of Xin Ja appears on the screen. Upon seeing this, his heart could not help but jump in excitement.

"Finally… my chance to shine has come…" he thought.

…

Meanwhile, in one of the rooms in the main military building of the city, a young female officer suddenly frowned when she noticed her screen blinking.

She then touches the screen and saw that there is a name that is being searched from the confidential archive twice now.

With a deep frown on her face, she pouted and then put up the display of the search. When she noticed who is being searched, her expression turned a bit confused. But then, after a few seconds, she suddenly stood up after looking at the picture.

Without hesitation, he walked out of her office and then directly run to a particular room.

She did not bother to knock at the door and just barges inside.

"Sir… I think we have…" she was not able to finish her sentence when she noticed that another man is inside the room.

But when she realized who the man is, she was stunned and was not able to move.

"What is it?" General Martin Grain asked with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

He did not know why this secretary of his who is always very intelligent and calm would suddenly become anxious and uneasy.

"Sir… A certain… Adam Summers is being searched by Col. Saff from the security department…" she reported with a slightly trembling tone.

When the two people in the room, heard her words, they both stood up.

"He… He is back? Where is he?" General Grain asked with a slightly excited tone.

The young man in the room also showed a slight smile on his face.

"Did that guy go back to the other side and just return today? I wonder what happened..." Cohan Vale thought as he wanted to also run to the security department.

"We should go there and meet with him now…" General Grain said with an excited tone.

But Cohan Vale on the side did not agree with this so he stopped the general.

"General Grain… I think we should inform them first and let Xin… I mean Mr. Adam Summers to go to your office…" Cohan Vale suggested.

"If those fools knew that you are interested in Adam, then they might make trouble with him and things will go south… We all know that Adam is someone who will not eat a loss…" Cohan added.

Upon realizing this, General Grain nodded and instructed his secretary on what to do next.

So, instead of going to the security department, he decided to inform Gun Mace and his group about the appearance of their master after 5 long years.
