The Geared Immortal

The man behind the successful woman

/*unedited*/

With the limit of his spiritual and absolute sense, Shin Jiao decided to trust in his other sharp senses. Closing his eyes, he concentrated and scan far and wide, filtering the many voices and sounds in his surroundings.

Suddenly he stopped and heard a voice that he is very familiar with. After he opened his eyes, he saw three people coming out of the rooms each holding a machete in their hands.

Shin Jiao didn't hesitate and suddenly rushed forward, with a few steps he arrives in front of the three people and on the next he sent them flying to the corridor walls.

He then quickly traverses hundreds of meters and found that Susan Tang is currently riding a red bullet bike driven by a woman clad in a black leather suit.

Then, from behind them, a group of black sedan cars are chasing.

Shin Jiao immediately ran forward, he quickly grabs a cloth hanging on a stall and covered half of his face.

With a dash, he appears in the middle of the road blocking the path of the cars.

"Who the hell is that? Ran that *sshole through. That's what he gets for getting in the way of our business."

"F*ck him, Go! Hahaha!"

The car in front immediately accelerated with the intent to run over Shin Jiao.

Boom!!!

A loud explosion reverberated through the air as a car flew backward. The driver and the passenger of the car were not wearing their seat belt hence they flew out of the car's windshield and landed in the middle of the street.

Their sorry figure's stopped moving as they fainted from the impact.

The other cars behind were stunned at this and immediately stopped. But one unlucky car ended up catching the first car which flew up.

Bang!!!

Ahhh!!!

The shouting and cries of the people inside the car can be heard by the bystanders looking at this incredulous scene on the road.

But everyone didn't bother to help because they saw the men in those cars holding handguns. Even the two in the middle of the road still have their guns on their bodies.

From the looks of it, they seem to be from an underground gang or a group of mercenaries.

However, Shin Jiao's figure is nowhere to be found after that incident.

…

Susan Tang arrives in front of her condominium building. After getting off the motorcycle, she showed a thankful look at the woman driving.

The woman clad in a leather suit got off and slowly took off her helmet.

It revealed a gorgeous mixed-race beauty, with her long light brown hair, and blue eyes. The woman is as tall as Susan Tang, though she is not as beautiful as Susan Tang the leather suit insinuated the almost perfect proportion of her body and bountiful bosom.

"Genie, Thank you. I didn't know how you found me, but… thanks a lot. You really are my best of friends…" Susan Tang cried as she hugs the woman.

"Haist… Here we go again. I've been gone for a few years and this is what happens to you. I told you to call me when you are in trouble, right?" the woman named Genie said feeling a bit helpless.

The woman is Genie Yu, an older cousin of Susan Tang. She was born in a military family, unlike Susan Tang who grew up in a business family. However, the two became best of friends since childhood. But Susan Tang didn't want to open her problems with Genie Yu because it relates to the family. She didn't want to get hurt if Genie Yu chooses the family instead of her.

The two enter the condominium while chatting happily as if nothing happened.

As soon as Susan Tang opened the door, she saw a plate of sliced fruits in the living room. And in the kitchen is the figure of Shin Jiao preparing lunch.

With Shin Jiao's speed, he can go from one place to another in just a few seconds. So while the two are traveling back, he has already entered the condominium and prepares lunch. He knew that Susan Tang might be feeling distressed so he wanted to appease her.

"Shin! You're already back!" Susan Tang said with glee.

However, she suddenly heard the sound of an object falling from behind her.

Bang!

A helmet rolled on the floor, while a stunned expression can be seen on Genie Yu's face. Susan Tang can see that there is something wrong with her cousin. She wanted to say something but she noticed the side of Genie Yu's eyes began to tear up.

Shin Jiao has also stopped what he is doing and just looks at the beautiful mature woman. In his memories, he seems to know her face.

"Shi… Shin, you… you're still… you're still alive! But… but how?" Genie Yu murmured with a confused look at her expression.

She then slowly approaches Shin Jiao with disbelief in her eyes.

"It's… it's… it's really you!" she said with her tears already flowing to the side of her flushed cheeks.

Shin Jiao was stunned when the woman hugged him as she suddenly cried.

"…"

Genie Yu explained to Susan Tang about her relation with Shin Jiao. She was his senior and also his instructor in the special program of the government military.

After Shin Jiao quits the two still communicated every now and then, and she would always ask him to fix her gadgets and tools. However, a few months ago she heard very disturbing news about Shin Jiao dying in the streets. She could not believe such a thing because she knew that her student has a great tenacity to survive.

So she did some investigation and found a saddening fact.

She didn't know why but she drowned herself in sorrow. She even blamed Shi Anne Li, for being too ruthless as she discovered that the woman actually wanted to break up with him.

However, she calmed down after some time and decided to go back. Then she learned of her cousin's predicament and decided to help. Hence she came this time.

"So you are my senior and at the same time instructor. I am happy to meet you again... However, I'm sorry my memory is... you know. Your face looks familiar but everything is blurry after that." he said feeling a bit regretful.

"I guess, from what you said you're still in amnesia. Don't worry, everything will be fine." Genie said trying to console Shin Jiao.

The three began talking about the company and Genie just told them that she would support them in any way she can. This made Susan Tang happy. She knew that Genie Yu chooses her rather than the family.

…

Meanwhile, in the underground a piece of news has begun to spread. Although many wanted to get their hands on the NXT Element Company, after hearing the news the underground world became silent.

The dreaded Black Dragon organization in the county struck and abducted the beautiful CEO of the company. However, the man behind that beautiful CEO made his move and turned the boss of the Black Dragon organization return back to the west.

Even the traces of their organization in the country seem to have vanished in just one night.

Plus another notorious gang in City H suffered some casualty. As their gang leader was found unconscious on the streets.

It seems that one of the men riding the car that Shin Jiao flipped is the leader of that gang. From the eyewitnesses they just describe it to be a tall man wearing a scarf covering half of his face.

This news made the whole underground world take a step back in taking any action towards the NXT Element Company. It seems that there is a powerful person backing the group. If they know who it was, they would be glad to face that person head-on. However, a really powerful person hiding behind the background is the most dangerous of all.

That night, City H seems to have been in a peaceful atmosphere.

However, that was only on the surface. Underneath the bustling and seeming prosperous city is the chaotic underworld.

On top of a building, two shadows can be seen standing on the ledge.

"I heard that you didn't lose your touch after quitting?" the woman clad in a black leather suit said.

Shin Jiao on the side, just gave her a smile.

Genie Yu wanted to talk to him and asked him to come with her. So the two sneak that night and went to this place.

"This is the center of the most chaotic place in City H. I wanted to see if you still have it in you before I entrust my cousin to you," she said with a challenging look on her expression.

Shin Jiao sneered by as an amicable person, he just smiles.

"What do you want me to do, senior?" he asked with a faint smile.

"As usual, we need to subdue someone in these streets, but without casualties. My cousin didn't want to see people dying because of her. Though she may not show it, she is still terrified to see such a thing happening. Please… control your strength. She told me that you are very strong now… So let's see."

The challenge that Genie Yu sets is something that Shin Jiao didn't want to do. But he also feels excited inside. Ever since he woke up, his gushing intent to kill would always control his feelings. So now he wanted to control it.. This way, he can be the man to be able to support Susan Tang without her being afraid, the man who is able to protect her until she gained the success that she aspires.
