The Geared Immortal

1398 [Bonus Chapter] Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 148



Chapter 1398

Although Xin Ja spared the life of Johan Ram due to the begging of the old man, he still crippled his awakened state and sent the young man and his goons back to their cities.

The army felt a bit worried about this matter, but no one dares accuse the young man as they did not know the extent of his power.

The general leading the army in the village of Adema is a man named General Giovanni Hassan. He is a C-Rank awakened who is leading the group of soldiers in the village of Adema.

At this time, General Hassan is walking inside a hall where several people are already inside.

Among these people is the figure of Xin Ja who calmly sits with the group of military officers.

He did not know why he is in this place, but as someone who has interacted with high-ranking officers on the other side of the planet… he did not feel pressured by the people around him.

"General!" everyone stood up and saluted General Hassan.

The general bowed his head and his eyes landed on Xin Ja.

"General, this young man is Adam Summers…" the old man who mistook Xin Ja as the Rogue General introduces.

By now, the misunderstanding is already cleared as Xin Ja explained his situation.

But since he is a C-Rank the old man decided to introduce him to the rest of the officers.

"Why is a civilian amongst us…?" General Hassan asked with a deep frown.

"Sir, he is a C-Rank awakened… He might be of help in our next mission…" the old officer replied.

General Hassan showed suspicion in his eyes while looking at Xin Ja.

Xin Ja heaved a sigh and then said.

"Sigh… I may not be a soldier of this… land. But I was once a soldier in another land. So, I am aware of some of the military practices… If it is not for the favor that Colonel Oer has done to me, I also would not want to intrude in this mess…"

The old man is Colonel James Oer, one of the ranking military officers in the battalion stationed in the village of Adema.

"General… You said that we can use all the help we needed in this mission, right? Why not ask for another C-Rank to assist us?" Col. Oer suggested.

The general looks at the rest of the officers who are nodding their heads.

"Alright, since this is the case, then let him join. But I will only give one warning. If you, young man, will not follow protocol, then I will make sure that you will be strictly punished according to military rules…" the general warned.

Xin Ja could feel a hint of nostalgia in his heart upon hearing that. He just nodded his head and agreed. He would not be a part of the military but will only serve as a backup in this operation.

While the group of officers are briefing the expression of Xin Ja turned a bit weird. The reason for this is because… the target of the operation is the place where he absorbed the thick mist.

He has spent time in absorbing the mist in that place, so he did not know whether to tell these fellows that everything is already fine now.

But soon, he realized that something is not right. The army is going to enter that place not because they wanted to clear the mist but because they wanted to find something.

He did not know what it was as the soldiers are talking in codes, but he is sure that it should be an artifact.

Two hours later…

Xin Ja walked out of the hall with a slightly confused expression on his face.

Although he could tell the goal of the army, he is a bit confused about why the army would mobilize such a large group just to get a single artifact that they did not even know the value of.

From the way things are, the government ruling this area seems really determined to get their hands on any artifact they could find.

While walking along the path, Col. Oer patted Xin Ja's shoulder.

"Adam, my boy… What do you think? You are going to help us with this task, right?" he said while winking.

The deal between them has already been in stone, so Xin Ja could only nod his head.

The army followed his request done to the Ram family's young master, but in return, he would help them in their task. That is the condition of their cooperation. So Xin Ja did not oppose anything.

He was given a room where he would stay for a while.

As he lies on the bed, Xin Ja's mind began to think of his goals and the purpose why he came into this world once again.

He needed to save this world, but how to start is something he has to figure out along the way.

For now, he has realized something strange. The strength of the demons attacking the land is not that high. But if these demons could escape this planet, then the whole cosmos would be in trouble.

The reason for this is because, these demons… not only the demons but also those that are living on this planet, are all at the level of a deity already.

F-Class or Ki-Fighters are already considered gods in the outside world. He had known this due to the power difference between his original self and the current him.

So his goal is not to let these demons escape the planet. How to do that, he did not know for now.

While thinking deeply, Xin Ja could not help but get his mind on the artifact that the military officers are talking about. His curiosity is getting the best of him at this point in time as he wanted to know why the army would really want that thing.

Feeling a bit uneasy, he decided to go out for a while and get some air.

Walking around the town, Xin Ja could feel the slight coldness in the air. The snow still covers the trees and the people are walking on the streets in their thick clothes.

Xin Ja walked towards a certain establishment where a bunch of people are congregating.

As he drew closer, he could see that the establishment is actually a bar with many awakened drinking inside of it. The place is a bit rowdy so Xin Ja enters inconspicuously. He did not want to cause any trouble in the bar and just wanted a change in the atmosphere.

He took a table in a corner and began listening to the soldier's boisterous words.

This is the place where they could unwind for a bit and escape their strenuous job as soldiers fighting on the front lines against the demons.

Many of them knew that they are of no match for the demons, but still, they are on the front lines fighting.

Xin Ja could not help but admire the bravery of these fellows.

But then suddenly, from the entrance, five people enter which made the whole bar become silent. No one dared talk as the five people decked in their military uniforms walked towards the bar counter.

From the looks on the soldier's eyes, he could tell that they are afraid of these five people.

Well, why would they not be afraid when these fire people are awakened?

Leading the group is a young woman.

From her uniform and the letter "D" on her shoulder patch, he could tell that she is a D-Rank awakened.

D-Ranks are already considered higher-ups in the army ranks. They are part of the main force of the military against the demon infestations.

"Captain Alo…" Xin Ja reads the nameplate of the woman.

The woman has black hair, phoenix-like green eyes, and a gorgeously-shaped face. In fact, she looks very attractive but at the same time cold and detached.

She is neither humble nor overbearing and has a calm disposition in contrast to the other people behind her.

The men and women behind her, have a haughty look on their faces as they enter the bar.

A tall and handsome man amongst the group even approaches a table and shooed the people sitting around it.

This made Xin Ja frown for a bit. He truly dislikes people that are like this. But at the same time, he also did not want to intrude on such a scene. He went here to be inconspicuous and be an observer. So he just decided to sit back and watch.

As the group got seated, no one around them dare say anything.

Soon, one of them suddenly said something which caught the attention of Xin Ja.

"Hey, do you know that the young miss of the Walters Family is in this village? I've heard that she is a beauty…" he said with a grin.

The rest of the people around him suddenly showed scoffs on their faces.

"Don't say that you wanted to do something to her… Let me remind you… She is from the Walters family." the handsome young man who shooed the people at that table suddenly interjected with a warning tone.

"Hehe… So what? If I could attract her… then why not? I'm an E-Rank after all…" he replied proudly.

But then everyone turned silent when another group enters the bar. This time, the eyes of the young man went wide in excitement when he saw who it was who just entered.
