The Geared Immortal

Chapter 898

(Unedited)

…

That night, Shin Jiao and his party prepare themselves for the banquet. They all wear formal clothing, which Olivia has sent to them especially for the women. Since seeing them this morning she was excited to be with the group again and stayed in the hotel for the whole afternoon while chatting and changing clothes with the rest of the girls.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and the rest of the men also changed into formal clothing which made them look like those European nobles in the Middle Ages.

The group then went out of the hotel and hop on the carriages prepared by Olivia Anis Merl for everyone.

The group then went directly to Viscount Manor which is located in the Eastern corner of the city. On their way, they saw many people enjoying the festivity of the surroundings especially the children and the young people.

As the caravan drove through the main streets to the eastern part of the city, the group has attracted a number of onlookers everywhere.

The commoners would take glances at the magnificent carriages and the Windfalls that pull them. But one thing that the people could notice is that this assembly of carriages does not have an escort at all.

It took them 20 minutes before they were able to reach Viscount Manor, then Olivia happily guided the group inside.

When her father, the Viscount Lanis Merl saw his daughter just arriving, he immediately frowned. Although he was against it, that his daughter would be with the people from the Mystique Shop, yet he could not stop his daughter from doing whatever she likes.

It has been too long that she was coop up in the manor and she would always look bored. Now that she has seen her friends, she seems to not want to leave their side.

The Viscount could just heave a heavy sigh on this and look at the group following his daughter.

"Father… These are my friends and benefactor from the Mystique Shop merchant group…" Olivia introduced.

When the others heard her words, the rest of the nobles around immediately turned their attention towards Shin Jiao and his group.

How could they not know the prestige of these people? Since the inception of the magic light bulb and magic batteries along with the canned meat and other goods, the name of Mystique Shop has already spread throughout the land around Main Arjing City.

The name of the group has already attracted many interested eyes and merchants.

Then with the appearance of the radio, more people became aware of their presence more than ever.

So the nobles are all looking forward to knowing these people, though they are not sure where they really came from.

"Welcome, sirs and madams to my home…" the Viscount said with a nod.

Shin Jiao and his group also responded by curtsying towards the Viscount in respect of his status. They are already aware of the practices of the nobles in this land, so it was easy for them to adapt to it.

"Sir Viscount is too polite. It is our honor to be of here in your magnificent home…" Shin Jiao greeted.

"If I am not mistaken, you are the one they call Master Shin, am I correct?"

"Yes, sir…"

"Good!… Me and my daughter owe you a debt of gratitude. Today I must express that even if it's just a slight gesture…" the Viscount said as he clapped his hands.

A group suddenly appears from behind him and a middle-aged bald man in a golden robe walks forward holding a small box in his hand.

Shin Jiao subconsciously scanned what is inside the box and he was a bit surprised to see the item. He then takes a look at the Viscount and a slight smile appears on his face.

Then the crowd suddenly became a little rowdy with discussion when a carriage happens to appear at the gate of the manor. Everyone seems to know who this carriage belongs to. And when the person inside the carriage alighted, the people began to gasp in astonishment.

This is because the person who just arrives is a very prestigious person which none of them has the honor to meet before. But it seems that tonight, these local nobles in Main Arjing City would be able to meet a very famous person in the kingdom.

When Shin Jiao saw who the person is, he showed a slight smile on his face. Behind that guy stood a tall and handsome young man with a regal and proud air around him.

When the Viscount saw the two people, his expression changed, and he immediately ran towards the two figures walking towards the manor.

"Your… your highnesses…" he stammered.

But the man in front lifted his hand to stop the Viscount from talking further. The man's eyes sweep among the crowd and landed on Shin Jiao's figure.

"It seems that we meet again… Master Shin." Lamier Grav greeted with a smile.

"Prince… It is nice to see you again." Shin Jiao greeted with a bow.

When the rest of the people hear this, everyone immediately lowered their heads and no one dares to lift their gazes.

However, the people who are with Shin Jiao were a bit confused. But when they noticed everyone bowing, they too followed suit, except for Hua Xiao, Vilma Song, and Xiamen Gong. These three have a high status in the outside world and are not used to lowering their heads to others.

They just bowed in greeting and stood straight behind Shin Jiao.

When the young man standing behind the prince saw this, his expression turned serious. He seems to feel that these people do not have the courtesy in greeting a member of the royal family.

He was angry and annoyed at the same time, but when he noticed those two beautiful women, he was a bit taken aback. He then seems to understand something when he observed them a little.

"These people are from the other side of the barrier… the immortal land." he thought as he observes those three good-looking people.

He did not suspect Shin Jiao as he looked in his late 30's, and this is not one of the characteristics of someone who came from the immortal land.

As he looks at those two women, he could deduce that those two women are the most beautiful women he has ever seen in his entire life. Even those slaves that came from the immortal land could not be compared to the beauty of those two.

While thinking as such, he then shifted his gaze at the man that seems to be leading them. Then he seems to get the gist of the situation.

He steps forward and then patted his uncle's shoulder while he is busy talking with the guy.

"Uncle… Tell that guy that I wanted to have those two young female slaves that are with him…" he said with a low voice.

But how could this escape the sharp hearing of Shin Jiao and his group? When Hua Xiao and Vilma Song heard this, their expression turned dark.

Even Prince Lamier who heard the words of the young man could not help but break out in cold sweat. How could he not know the power of this group in front of him? This man alone might even be able to obliterate a whole army, how much more with just his meager strength as a 37th level warrior.

"Ah…" he suddenly grabs the arm of the young man behind him and drags him to the side.

"I am sorry for that… Wait a moment please…" Lamier Grav excused as the two walks to the side.

"Jun my child… you know that uncle favors you out of all your brothers, right? But I advise you know to not provoke this group of people. If not, even your father could not save you…" Lamier warned his nephew.

Jun Grav is the 3rd prince of the new royal family of the Xinglo kingdom. He was born as the 3rd son of King and grew up under his mother, the 3rd favored royal concubine of the king.

Because of his mother's upbringing, Jun Grav knew how to control himself although sometimes he would show his pompous attitude every now and then, he also knows how to control or curve his desires so that he would not affect the plans of his mother and his uncle.

And right now is one of those times that he realized that these people are not someone whom he could casually offend and that his uncle seems to be currying favor from them.

Hence as someone being supported by his uncle and is vying for the crown prince position, he immediately understood the situation.

The two walked back to the group and Jun Grav bowed his head towards Shin Jiao and his group.

"This prince seems to have offended you and your group sire. Please pardon this one…" he said politely.

Shin Jiao was a bit amazed at this prince who seems to suddenly do a 360 degrees change in his attitude. So he also bowed and said...

"The prince is too kind…"
