The Geared Immortal

…

Xin Ja could not help but show a dumbfounded expression while looking at the woman and her group. He did not know what he did so that she would show such a reaction towards him.

"I… I did not say anything… I did not laugh at you…" Xin Ja tried to explain as he feels a bit awkward.

But who would have known that the woman would suddenly walk near him while pointing her finger at his face?

"If you had mocked me… own it. Are you a coward?" she said while glaring at him.

Xin Ja decided not to argue with the woman and just uses the box he is carrying to separate himself from her gaze.

As he hid behind the boxes he is holding, though annoyed, Bernadette Fence decided not to pursue her argument as she could tell that the person is someone who is not interested.

She just snorted coldly and turns around to walk towards the office of the engineering bay.

However, that does not mean that the guys behind her would leave the person that has insulted their princess.

With a glint of killing intent in their eyes, three men in the group glared at Xin Ja. One of the men with a haughty disposition signaled at the three. With a nod of their heads, they have already decided on a plan.

In fact, this group has already done such things before. Anyone who offended their mistress would be beaten by them and left in black and blue. There was even a case that the one beaten almost died. But the military did not do anything to them because of the young man\'s background.

So the three men are confident that they would not be in trouble after beating this guy up.

Soon, the group entered the building and Xin Ja puts the boxes near the table.

The young woman glared at him and then waves her hand.

"Get him out of my sight!" she said with annoyance.

One of the three young men wrapped his arm around Xin Ja\'s shoulder as he and the other two forces him to walk outside.

Xin Ja did not fight back and let these men take him away with them.

The four of them walked until they arrive at the back of the building where there are many large metal crates where Goliath Suits were being stored.

After reaching an empty spot, the man who is holding Xin Ja in his arm suddenly squeezes his neck tightly.

But no matter how hard he squeezes, he could not even make the young man flinch.

This made him frown while the two showed mocking smiles on their faces.

"What are you doing? Don\'t tell me, you like embracing that guy. Hehehe…" one of them teases.

The man was a bit insulted so he made a move and wrapped Xin Ja\'s neck with both of his arms, this time.

"Damn you!" he cursed as his trick did not work.

The other two noticed something was wrong, so they suddenly made their move.

They kicked toward Xin Ja\'s stomach which he did not dodge. Instead he just subconsciously blocked his stomach from their kick.

Seeing him blocking their strong kick, the two sneered as they could now see that this person would have his arms fractured. If this happens, then he could only blame himself for being too weak.

Crack!!! Crack!!!

Two cracking sounds could be heard suddenly as the kick connects.

But instead of one voice wailing, there were two.

Arrgghh!!! Arrgghh!!!

The two young men suddenly fell to the ground while grabbing their legs. When the one grabbing Xin Ja\'s neck saw his companions on the ground, he looks at them and saw something very incredulous.

He could see that their shin bone was broken in two.

The two of them are trembling while holding their leg as they cry out in pain.

Their shins were thoroughly broken.

"Shit! You bastard!" the man shouted as he suddenly pushes Xin Ja.

But instead of pushing Xin Ja, he was the one who staggered.

With annoyance in his eyes, he suddenly grabs behind him and a military-issued dagger appears. Without hesitation, he stabbed Xin Ja\'s neck trying to directly kill him.

The killing intent in his eyes is overflowing as he wanted to totally eliminate the bastard who broke two of his friends\' legs.

Xin Ja did not dodge but instead let the knife grace his neck.

Shrink!!!

The sound of a knife hitting a steal could be heard as the knife passes through Xin Ja\'s neck.

The man was a bit stunned, but before he could recover, Xin Ja has already flicked his forehead.

That simple flick sent him tumbling to the ground in a sorry manner.

The noise attracted a few soldiers and they quickly run in the direction of the noise.

Three military police arrive at the scene and were dumbfounded at the three groaning people. By this time Xin Ja is already gone and has walked back to the engineering bay.

As he walked inside, he saw Gun Mace and his crew and in front of them is a woman lecturing on something while showing them her designs.

The woman has an imposing manner while she glares at the group.

"This is a more efficient way to enhance the Goliath Suit. With this design, the suit would not be that bulky…" she said in a condescending manner.

Gun Mace looks at her and then at his team who shrugged their shoulders.

He heaved a sigh and then stands up.

He pointed at a few locations in the suit she has designed.

"If I hit these three points, the suits would crumble easily… right?" he said with a helpless expression.

He then walked towards the other blueprint.

"If a 20 kg force hit this armor, it would be easily bent, right?" he pointed at the drawing.

"I know that the design is good and in terms of beauty and aesthetic, it is more appealing… But Miss Fence… This is the military engineering bay… everything we make here is for combat… you know that, right?" Gun Mace said with a helpless look on his face.

This woman has been bothering his team for months now with her outrageous design just to get a cut from the military funding.

But how could her design pass when she would always ignore their suggestions?

"Are you kidding me?! Look at your designs. They are bulky and not nice… Whenever I see those things on the streets I feel… not good… I feel intimidated…" She retorted.

"That is why they are used by the military!" Gun Mace replied showing a serious expression.

This woman is already insulting their master as part of those designs came from their master. He would not let this woman insult him no matter what.

Bernadette Fence glared at Gun Mace and then grabs her stuff. She did not say anything and just walks out of the room.

Xin Ja did not want trouble with the woman, so he quickly hide behind the door.

After the group walked out of the office, he heaved a sigh of relief and then walked out. He then enters the office and saw the group looking at each other while shaking their heads.

"Sir Mace… Do you think we should already develop the 2nd generation of the Goliath Suit?" a female researcher suggested.

"I already suggested this to the General, but he said that is it not time yet. He is predicting that something is about to happen, that is why he stopped the unveiling…" Gun Mace replied.

"But… the production has already started… Would the other military groups suspect that something is wrong?" another one added.

"Nope… The assembly would not suspect anything… Trust me…" Gun Mace confidently said with a smirk.

"How about the airship project…" someone asked.

Gun Mace kept his silence as he did not know if this is the right time or not. But he is not sure if what he created is correct.

His master let him play with the design, so he is not sure if what he created would work or not. But after sharing the thought with his team, they are agreeable to the project.

But the problem is, they did not have their master as a reference, how could they decide on such an important project?

"I just hope that master would be back to check that project… without him, we will have to go through the hard process…" he said with a frown.

One of the guys on the team suddenly displayed the project on the projector.

Everyone looks at it and then frowned.

"Why are displaying that?" a female researcher scolded.

"I just want to suggest something…" the guy said as if he could not wait to present his findings.

"I think… the runes we are using in this part are wrong… If this is activated, then it would surely fail…" he said while pointing at the lower part of the blueprint.

Everyone looks at that part and the runes used on it. They all showed deep frowns on their faces as they try to analyze his explanation.

Gun Mace did not know whether it is right or wrong as he truly needed to test things out to find out, so he feels a bit conflicted.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the group.

"He is right… the runes are wrong…"
