The Geared Immortal

Chapter 967 - The Inner Kingdom: The Next Step Of The Plan

Chapter 967

(Unedited)

…

The group planned their move for the whole morning and afterward, they all left to do their task. Im Jae, Im Ao, and Zixu Alreed which looks like Shin Jiao are left in the room.

"Hmm… Why is he here?" Shin Jiao asked with a knitted brow.

This is because the guy seems to be head-over-heels towards Im Jae, so this person should not be here because right now he is going to discuss something with the sibling.

"It is alright big brother Shin. This is my big brother Zixu and he is family now…" the little boy said with a smile.

"Yes, young master Zixu has helped us a lot in Zepa City and is a great supporter of our merchant group…" the voice of Yemei Yin whispered behind Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao nodded his head as he now has a favorable impression of the guy. He is unlike that Shin Jiao whom he met on planet Gaeus Ro which is hostile towards him and his group.

"Okay, since you are trusted by my friends, then you are also my friend." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

But he still felt awkward talking to a person that looks like him.

Im Jae, on the other hand, truly felt like in cloud nine as she interacts with Zixu Alreed. Though it feels a bit awkward and corny, the people in the room could not deny the fact that these two are in love.

Suddenly, something came to Shin Jiao's mind. 

"Alright… I have called the two of you here because of two things. The first one is that you two can easily get out of this place but you need a resurrection spot. Dying in the immortal land would send your soul back in this place and your memories would be wiped out… I will give you a choice if you wanted out of this world or stay in it." Shin Jiao said as he provided two black boxes.

"The second thing is that… there is a possibility that your relatives are still alive." Shin Jiao said with a slight smile on his handsome face.

When the two heard this, they showed shocked expressions on their faces. The disbelief in Im Ao's face is too evident that the little boy could not help but began to tear up.

The reason why Shin Jiao told them this is because he remembers the strange man serving the current king. That man resembles Im Ao, and his aura is that of a dark mage. So when he scanned the study room at that time when meeting the king, he noticed that guy.

But he did not investigate this further yet because he did not think that it was necessary at that time. If he truly is a relative of Im Ao, and Im Jae then they could only know this after the meeting with the king days later.

If they decided to stay in this world, then they would have a family to turn to.

The two became really excited that they almost rushed out of the room. But Shin Jiao stopped them and explain his plan. Afterward, Zixu Alreed agreed and pacifies the feeling of the two. It seems that this guy is very reasonable and is able to comfort the sibling. Upon seeing this, Shin Jiao feels at ease.

While walking outside, Zixu Alreed suddenly approached Shin Jiao.

"Master Jiao… This… That matter that you have said,… about their relatives being alive. I… I don't think that was the right move." He said bluntly.

"Hmm… Why do you think is that?" Shin Jiao asked?

"It's because it would give them false hope. What if it isn't true then it would devastate their hearts…"

"Well, in truth… I did that to test you. To see how you would react. I know that you know that the two are dark mages. But would your family accept them and their relatives that are dark mages?"

"My father already knows about this and… Wait a minute… maybe my father knows about… about their relatives being alive?" Zixu Alreed suddenly changes his expression.

His father Yom Alreed is a representative from Wanting City, but he is also one of the king's chancellors. He suddenly remembers how his father reacted upon seeing the sibling. It was as if he recognizes the two but also not. Then when Im Jae told him about her origin and he told his father, he was amazed that his father seems to show a sigh of relief.

Does his father really know the truth?

The conflicting feeling and expression in the young man's eyes told Shin Jiao everything he needs to know. He knew that there is something about this guy. Though he is not sure what it is, he still decided to trust him.

So while Xizu Alreed is still thinking, Shin Jiao has already turned and begun walking away. 

…

The capital city began to be busy as the news that the Mystique Shop has arrived in the capital city has spread like wildfire. Common citizens, merchants, and even some of the noble houses began talking about this event.

Everyone is excited that the capital would not be left by the other cities and would surely prosper.

Some of the mage towers are also excited about this prospect because they would not be hindered by the noble houses to partner with the Mystique Shop since the shop is already in the city and under the support of the Royal family.

So this morning, the small temporary office of the shop is already crowded.

"Hey, Mage Fell… you're also here. Do your Burning Sun tower wanted to cooperate with the Mystique Shop too?" a middle-aged-looking man said upon seeing a familiar face amongst the crowd.

"Oh… Mage Fu… Yeah, since our Burning Sun tower specializes in firebase magic and artifact, we wanted to have a cooperation with the shop to advance our research…"

"Really… I heard that this merchant group is a bit stringent with their requirements…"

"I'm already aware of that. Our head has already permitted me to do everything I can even at a loss just to get a spot…"

"Haha… I guess both of our mage towers are in desperate need then…"

"I know, right? Look at that Tower of Light. They are the first to cooperate hence they received a lot of advantages. Mage Enosis would even ingratiate himself with the managers of this group… Haha…"

"Well, I seem to hear that the reason is because of the flying ship."

"Damn… that is one big piece of research prospect. I wish I could cooperate with them in that aspect. The knowledge you would gain in such research would be tremendous, right?..."

This discussion is happening inside this hall as the mages and merchants discussed.

"Everyone! Listen up! Since we could not accommodate every one of you in our temporary office building, we decided to do this in the city hall… Please, I advise everyone to leave in an orderly manner… Thank you, see you there!" the mage in charge said using the loudspeaker.

When the people heard this, they all nodded their heads. With the large hall of the city hall, they could comfortably do their business in that place.

And so the people left the temporary office and headed towards the city hall.

  As they enter, they are greeted by several female employees. As instructed, they are lead to the place where they would do their business with the merchant group.

The group is now separated from merchants, mages, researchers, and those who just wanted to find jobs, and etc.

...

Meanwhile, at this time, another large group has arrived at the capital gate. This large group is riding a luxurious-looking carriage without beasts pulling them. They are the first ones who bought this prototype that the group of Nariz Gumal and Phil Mason has made.

A total of five four-wheeled classic cars that look like those that came out in the 1930s on earth. It looks simple yet elegant at the same time.

The mana engine used in the cars made it able to travel long distances and smoothly.

So the group upon entering the capital has already gained the attention of the people on the streets.

"The capital is surely huge…" the woman sitting comfortably at the back seat said while looking outside of the car-tinted window.

This woman is the owner of the very famous Fenghai entertainment company. It has only been months since Jiwen Han decided to gamble on the Mystique Shop unique products and she and her company has risen to be one of the biggest company in the Outer world. And now even in the Inner kingdom, their name has begun spreading like wildfire.

The names of her artists are well-known throughout the land that no one would dare say that they could not recognize them.

"Sister Jiwen, I wanted to go out and look at some of the shops!" a beautiful woman sitting beside her suddenly said with an excited expression.

"You wanted to be torn apart by your fans?" Jiwen Han scoffed.

This woman is Shenya Maw who came with Jiwen Han to the capital to help promote the Mystique Shop and meet with the king.
