The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1276

(Unedited)

…

The kingdom of Jimal has two capital cities, the old and the new.

The reason for this is the sudden increase in the population of the capital city. In just a span of 2 years, the capital of the kingdom has doubled its population.

And the royal family suddenly realized that the castle is far too small to be called the capital royal castle.

And so, a large construction project started and the borders of the old capital city were extended removing the walls protecting the city.

And a new royal castle was built with more space and magnificent walls protecting it.

The new capital city is now called the Great Jimal city.

And true to its name, the kingdom displayed its greatness by developing widely the kingdom.

Work, living conditions, and policies, the kingdom greatly changes everything as if resembling a modern world civilization and rules.

The morning sun has greeted the Great Jimal city with its beautiful golden rays which bring energy and vigor to the people of the new capital city.

As of this moment, several large airships are traveling above the air space of the capital.

The capital has 3 airports, the west, south, and east airports.

And right now, those airports are busy as several airships are running to land.

In one of the airships, there stood a young man on the deck near the railings, while he enjoys the cool breeze of the morning air.

"The capital of the kingdom… It's been a while…" Xin Ja muttered while he looks at the sea of buildings ahead of him.

In the capital city, using hoverbikes to fly higher than 3 meters are not permitted. One would be punished for violating such a law.

The reason for this is because of the rampant careless flying of many people which has caused too much trouble for the authorities.

As the airship neared the port, Xin Ja looks at the edge of the capital city. There might have been no walls, but he could feel a strange fluctuation inside a cemented portion of the city outskirt.

And behind those strange fluctuations, there stood large Mecha squads and soldiers patrolling around.

A smile crept on Xin Ja's face feeling a bit proud of his creation.

He might not be waving it in the air or shouting everywhere, that he was the one who spread the design of the Mechas, but the royal family and the military heads knew of his contribution.

Hence, there is always a silent special treatment given to him whenever he visits the capital.

Before the airship he is on could even dock at the airport, his communication device is already beeping.

Seeing the caller ID, a smile props on Xin Ja's face.

"Hello…" he answered.

Before he could even say a word, an excited tone has already interrupted him.

'Hey, Little Ja?! Have you arrived already? When are you arriving?' the voice of the 4th prince, Han Bai has already excitedly interrupted him.

"Ugh… Yes, your highness… I've already arrived." Xin Ja said in a low voice.

But even when he talked in a low voice, a few people on the deck still heard him.

Those who heard him shook their heads in disbelief as they could not believe that a normal-looking young man would be able to talk to someone from the palace.

Ever since the new policies and improvement in the lives of the citizen began, and the capital made great changes, the people have almost worshiped the king and his son the crown prince.

So in the eyes of the normal citizen, the royal family has truly exceeded their expectation in ruling the kingdom.

So when they heard Xin Ja saying your highness while talking on his phone, they almost mocked him in disdain.

'Alright, I'm waiting outside the airport in my newly designed… hovercar… as Chief Goh called… Hehe…'

Xin Ja immediately knew that the 4th prince is actually calling him to brag about his new toy.

"I… can't wait…" he replied awkwardly.

As he walks out of the airship, who would have known that he would see a familiar face.

Not too far from the passenger exit terminal, where people are waiting, he noticed a tall and beautiful woman wearing a veil on her face.

In one scan of his absolute sense, he has already recognized the woman.

The woman also saw him and she immediately showed excitement in her eyes.

It was Qian Yan, the actress.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback as the woman risk of exposing herself in public by waiting with the people.

He quickly walked towards her and then showed a faint smile.

"Are you waiting for someone?" he asked.

"Umm… My cousin… She decided to visit the capital, so I will be her tour guide… Hihi… Well, is someone meeting you here? If not, then you can come with us?" she excitedly said.

"Ah… Thank you for the kind gesture... But, I think they are here…" Xin Ja said while pointing at a man wearing a royal guard's uniform.

When Qian Yan saw the two people walking toward them, she was taken aback.

"I'll be off then, see you next time Sister Yan…" Xin Ja waved his goodbye and left with the two royal guards which made the people look at him curiously.

"Hey, Cousin Yan! Who was that guy?" suddenly a playful voice interrupted Qian Yan's musing.

"Oh, cousin you're here!" she suddenly turns to the side and saw a beautiful petit young woman wearing a pink silk gown.

Behind the young woman stood a handsome young man wearing a dark blue cultivator's robe.

"Cousin Luyou, I did not expect you to be traveling with Cousin Fan…" Qian Yan showed a surprised expression.

She suddenly noticed the man looking in Xin Ja's direction. A hint of hate could be seen in the man's eyes.

How could Qian Yan now know what the man is thinking?

Ever since she became famous, this 3rd cousin of hers, Qian Luyou has begun pursuing her.

She could not deny that the guy is handsome and might be an ideal partner, but he already has the main wife and 2 concubines.

This is something that she could not accept. So she would always try to get away from the guy every time he shows his advances on her.

"Let's go, cousin! I can't wait to explore the capital…" her cousin Qian Fan suddenly grabbed her arm and then drags her without looking at the young man.

She knew that their cousin Qian Luyou is after Qian Yan. So how could she let him do what he wanted?

As the two ladies left, Qian Luyou just showed discontent but still followed behind the two trying to show his gentlemanly aura.

…

Xin Ja walked out of the airport and noticed the black car parked at the side of the road.

The 4th prince is standing beside the car with folded arms and around him are his few royal guards.

"Ah, there he is… Welcome! Hehehe… If I have not visited Marshal Tee, I would not have known that you will be visiting the capital. I'm a bit disappointed, Little Ja…" Han Bai greeted but then scolded at the end.

Xin Ja scratches his head as he bowed with an awkward smile.

"I know you are always keeping a low profile, but aren't you a bit too low profile? I mean… Haha… You are the Xin Ja…" Han Bai patted Xin Ja's shoulder.

Some of the royal guards who heard Han Bai's words showed a surprised expressions on their faces.

No wonder the 4th prince takes his time to come to the airport. They are actually welcoming one of the considered hidden experts in the kingdom… and the youngest at that.

Most of the royal guards who serve close to the princes are aware of the names of the hidden experts in the kingdom. This is so that they would not offend those experts and cause trouble.

And one of the mysterious ones is the name Xin Ja.

His accomplishments are hidden, and his status is obscure. The only thing they needed to know is that, no matter what, they should not offend the guy.

The two who escorted Xin Ja showed a proud smirk on their faces when they saw the dumbfounded expressions on their fellow royal guards.

"They only knew his name and their expression is already like that, if they also knew what he is capable of doing… then maybe their jaws would hit the ground." One of them muttered which made the other one laugh.

The two guards who escorted Xin Ja are the personal guards of the 4th prince. They are his most trusted people.

…

Several minutes later…

The black hovercar has already reached the military headquarters in the capital city. It is a three-story building that looks normal on the outside.

"I'll be off then… Thank you for the ride, your highness… and oh, by the way… Nice car…" Xin Ja said while showing a courteous bow.

"Hahaha… Well, if you want one, just tell me…" the 4th prince said proudly.

He had noticed that Xin Ja showed a hint of amazement in his eyes while riding the hovercar which made him feel a bit proud.
