The Geared Immortal

The equilibrium Part 2

/*unedited*/

A white spacious room enters his view after hearing a prompt after putting on the visor. He followed the command prompt and excitedly followed the instruction with interest glowing in his eyes. It was the first time he experienced being in another world and the child inside him filled his heart in anticipation.

Suddenly, everything went dark and he found himself in a strange forest in which the trees and plants are three to five times larger than that on earth. Plus he can't even recognize any of the trees in his surroundings.

Suddenly, he saw a huge creature strangely looking at him. He wanted to scream in fear but was frozen to place because of horror. Suddenly, he saw a huge maw filled with sharp teeth covering his view, and a searing pain envelops his body as he screamed.

He was chewed to death by the creature. And then he found himself once again transported to a white room and then after a few seconds appear in the same forest.

However, the same horrible thing happened, he died with the feeling of real pain.

No matter how hard he tried to survive, the same outcome still happens… a painful death.

Outside, it has already taken about two hours since Adam McGrath put the visor. His two assistants are in tenterhooks as they didn't know what is happening. Their boss is already covered in a cold sweat with his heart rate abnormally fast.

"What should we do?" asked Vera Agapov, the woman wearing military vest and camouflage.

"We need to get that *sshole to get back here at all cost. Send all of our men to retrieve that guy." shouted Agatha Henry as she kneels beside Adam McGrath's unmoving body.

Not long later, a line of black SUV's went out of the parking lot of the building going towards the NXT Element Company.

While this is happening, Shin Jiao and Susan Tang are calmly walking in a park nearby.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you this time." Shin Jiao said with a guilty smile on his face.

"No… Actually you've always been my savior." Susan Tang waved her hand frantically with a blushing face.

She felt that Shin Jiao truly cared for her and in these few days they were together, she felt closer to him. However, she still can feel that there is something wrong with his emotion. It was as if he is trying to curve his desire and feelings. As if he is trying to control himself.

As the two walks, they noticed the long line of SUV on the road. Shin Jiao showed an annoyed expression on his face. It seems that the group is willing to go to such depth just to cause him more trouble.

"I need to send you somewhere. I think it's time to end this charade… Put this on. This time… please… please… Don't throw it away." Shin Jiao said with a pleading tone.

Hearing his words, Susan Tang has a guilty expression on her face. She knew that it was her fault. In her panic, she accidentally threw the small pendant. So this time, she immediately put it on her neck.

Shin Jiao took her to a hotel and ask her to hide there for a while and wait for him.

When Shin Jiao left the hotel, the woman inside the both suddenly had a crafty glint in her eyes as she dialed a number on her phone.

Shin Jiao jumps high up in the buildings and ran towards the building owned by Adam McGrath. He observes the people inside and listened to two uniformed thugs wearing a ninja-like suit.

"Will our Black Dragon really go to war with a small company. It sounds petty, how could our boss give a stupid command."

"Shush, do you want to get killed. It's not the boss who gave the command. It was the 2nd Lady boss."

"Che, I guess women are really different from men."

Shin Jiao didn't listen to these people talking last time as his concentration is on Susan Tang. So right now that she is already safe, he can focus on gathering info. However, what he heard surprised him a lot.

The Black Dragon, he didn't know what kind of enmity he had with this group, but it seems that they are dead set in annoying him. But this time, he didn't want to just close a blind eye. They have already touched his bottom line when they kidnapped Susan Tang.

With a sneer, Shin Jiao's figure vanished from where he was standing like a ghost.

Inside the wide office room, Agatha Henry is still sitting beside Adam McGrath with anxiety written all over her face.

Suddenly she felt the presence of another person in the room.

"So, even people like you who treat others like lambs can also feel anxiety." Shin Jiao sneered looking at her expression.

When they were intimidating Susan Tang before, they showed an indifference face. However now, Shin Jiao found this laughable.

"You! Remove this thing from him! If not, I will kill your family and everyone around you!" shouted Agatha Henry as she took out two daggers from her back.

"Do you think you can fight me? Haha… From what I see you have done a lot of grievances to a lot of people. Your association has offended me many times already. And I have been lenient so far…"

"I don't care! Do you know who we are? What we can do? If not, then I advise you to give up. Nobody can defeat us! Only we can rule this world, only we can be the kings and queens… you mere plebeians have no right to question us!" she shouted.

Hearing her words annoyed Shin Jiao. As someone who lives with a principle, he could not stand people who disregard others just to satisfy their greed for power. If he is a normal guy, perhaps he could not do anything. But with the knowledge inside his head and the strength of his body, how can he just let them be?

With one move, he already has the weak woman in his hand, lifting her high up in the air.

While she is being choked, Agatha didn't give up and struggled while using her two daggers to slice Shin Jiao's arm and try to stab his body.

But who is Shin Jiao? He has the body of an infant soul cultivator. Though his powers are suppressed, with his physique alone, it is already enough to stop bullets, how could a mere dagger harm him?

The daggers only caused his clothes to be slice and torn, but only left white marks on his skin.

Upon seeing this, Agatha's expression immediately turned pale.

"You… you… are… not… human." She tried to say while being choked.

Shin Jiao is actually not putting any force on her neck but the weight of her body is causing her to be choked.

"Call off your army, and leave us alone. Then I will consider this as over." Shin Jiao said.

Though he is strong, Shin Jiao knew that these people are unreasonable. So he could not put the lives of the employees of the company at risk. Hence he decides on an equal term as he lets go of the woman.

"Cough, cough cough…" Agatha coughs trying to recover her breathing.

"Alright, on behalf of our boss. I will agree with this… Please release him first." She asked with a pleading look on her face.

"Call them off now." he said with a stern look.

Agatha didn't have a choice anymore as she took out her radio and called the group back to headquarters.

Not long later, an angry footstep walks inside the room.

"What the hell is this supposed to…" The hot-headed Russian woman Vera Agapov shouted but suddenly stopped.

He saw the figure of Shin Jiao beside their boss which made her feel cautious. She immediately grabs the pistol on her waist.

"Wait, stop!" Agatha shouted.

"Alright, I already did what you wanted." She said turning to Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao approached the visor and in the center, he put his thumb.

Psst! Kacha!

A sound of air being released was heard as a slight smoke came out from the side of the visor.

Then Shin Jiao removes the visor from Adam who still lies on the sofa with his head filled with sweat.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and cried in fear.

"No! No!... Please… Please… no more… Please! No more… Huhuhu… I don't want to die!... *sob…" he cried like a child and he cowers in the corner of the sofa.

Adam McGrath slowly turns his gaze towards the people around him and he immediately ran to the arms of Agatha, like a child, and cried.

The two women as stunned at this situation, but they could not react but just turned to the person standing in the middle.

"This is just a show on how I can punish you. I can break your mind if I wanted to… So remember what I said. Bother me again, and I will not hesitate to destroy your organization."

After saying that, Shin Jiao's figure suddenly vanished from where he stood as usual. This left the room in silence and only the sobbing of Adam MacGrath can he heard.

…

Shin Jiao immediately return to the hotel. It took him a while teaching the Black Dragon organization a lesson, but he knew that it was worth it. But of course, he didn't know if it would really work. However, as a real timid person as his true self, he is not in the mood for bloodshed.

He is just anticipating the outcome of the virtual world that he had created and how the public would accept it.

Upon entering the small hotel he found something strange as he could not see the woman inside the booth. So he just walks in knocks on the door.

When no one is answering, Shin Jiao immediately used his absolute sense to scan the room inside and his face turned pale. Without a word, he immediately kicked the door and walks in.

From where he is standing he can see that there are no traces of struggling inside the small room. This made him feel a bit distressed.. In this situation, he suddenly wanted to fly in rage, but then he stopped.
