Chapter 978: The Inner Kingdom: Meeting With The King

(Unedited)

…

A large gaping hole could be seen on the old man's chest as his barrier shattered into dust. The powerful impact produced by the rifle sent the old man flying to the ground like a kite with its string cut. Master Kwan did not expect that the man behind him could use such a powerful weapon that it was even able to shatter his shield.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao on the other hand was a bit surprised that the sniper rifle has such a strength that it even made him retreat for about 2 meters before stopping. Just the kick alone from the rifle already tells that the power of the rifle is truly greater than he ever thought.

Most of his weapons were destroyed in his battle against the demon that has been afflicting Raul. And after that, he once again made a lot of them in his spare time.

Unknown to him the slight upgrade that he made using his current knowledge is already able to turn a normal weapon into such a powerful arsenal. And this discovery right now made Shin Jiao feel elated. With the strength of his gears, he knows that he could skip realms and fight against those higher than him, except the High Lords and the Saints, those beings are truly strong.

He would not want to once again destroy his gears just to save his dear old life… That is if, he can escape.

But for now, in this place, he could be considered as the most powerful being as long as he can use his gears.

After disposing of the Grand Magus old man, Shin Jiao shifted his attention to the people below him.

Simultaneously, the group attacked with red eyes as they wanted to avenge what has happened to their companion.

…

The annual beast clearing hunt is already coming to an end with only a few casualties, unlike the previous years. This time, the harvest that everyone has gathered is truly an astronomical price.

In this hunt, the group that gained the most is those from the Alto Magus Academy. Besides some that were injured because of either saving others or be hit by stray spells, the rest did not suffer any injury.

Envy could be seen in the eyes of the elders of the school and in this exercise they already heard the word virtual world many times and are now curious as to what kind of place is that.

They already noted that it came from the new curriculum of the Alto Magus Academy, and once they returned they would be telling this to their schoolmasters and principals. They would not let their students be left behind.

They actually thought that the Alto Magus will be going downhill after most of the noble houses withdrew their assistance to the academy. Who would have thought that the academy would be flourishing instead?

After thinking and analyzing, they realized the factor that changed everything. It was the involvement of the Mystique Shop.

As the students and the soldiers went back front the hunt turn war, they were greeted by a large group of soldiers coming from the stronghold to clean things up.

The soldiers in the stronghold may not be able to hunt such numbers of beasts but they are able to take care of the rest after the remaining monsters have been dealt with.

With that, the annual beast clearing hunt ended.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao has gained a piece of information from those people whom he has killed. It seems that the noble houses did not want to give up and that two of the princes have aligned themselves with the noble house.

They wanted to kill the 5th prince to dampen the relationship between the king and the Mystique Shop.

It was an elaborate plan that would point the blame to the Mystique Shop. The nobles will be blaming the shop for the spread of highly dangerous weapons that could threaten the royal family. After that, they will be rallying the soldiers once again and this time, they are sure to win the favor of the king and the king will be moving with them in eliminating the shop.

Then the noble houses will be dividing the shop by themselves and use their technology to once again rule over the capital city.

Shin Jiao was able to get this plan from one of the high-level warriors as the guy seems to belong to one of the noble houses that is against the king.

After dealing with the assassins, Shin Jiao walk back to the capital with the students and directly went to the Mystique Shop. He received a message that the long-awaited visit of the shop to the palace has finally arrived.

Shin Jiao could tell that the Im siblings are excited to see their relative which they just discovered. At first, the two wanted to rush to the palace but were stopped. If they rush inside, they would not see anyone but would instead be causing more trouble.

Hence they dampen their excitement and waited. And today is their most awaited day.

"Is everything ready?" Hua Xiao's voice echoed inside the shop while looking at the boxes being carried.

"Why are we bringing too many things?" Xiamen Gong asked while standing beside her.

"Darling, this is all for the show." She said with a slightly playful smile.

When the eyes of the two met, one could tell that they seem to have developed their relationship closer.

"My blood sugar is rising fast… what is with this sweetness…" Shin Jiao's voice interrupted the two.

"Hey, Shin… You're back!" Hua Xiao jolted as she turned to face Shin Jiao with a blushing face.

"How was the hunt?" Xiamen Gong who is also showing a blush on his face asked.

"It was good. We got a lot of harvests… But we can only keep around 10% from each group." Shin Jiao said as he walks to the side of the two.

"Where are the others?"

"They have already prepared, we will leave in 30 minutes…" Xiamen Gong said.

With a nod, Shin Jiao walks to his quarters.

30 minutes later…

Shin Jiao and Yemei Yin have already changed to formal robes that made them look like proper mages. The dark blue color of their robes and the silver patterns made the robe look simple but elegant.

Yemei Yin, on the other hand, appears very beautiful. And since she is not permitted to be invisible inside the palace, she will be standing behind Shin Jiao and would be acting as his secretary.

Shin Jiao and Yemei Yin rode the carriage with the Im siblings and Zixu Alreed, while the others are inside the eye-catching cars that the shop has produced. These cars may look like antiques in the eyes of Shin Jiao, but for the people in the capital, they are new and novelty.

Ever since the Fenghai Entertainment Company used these vehicles to travel, it has already gained too much attention. Many have already inquired on how much are those things and how they can get their hands on them. And this of course will be left to the mages in the Mystique Shop to take care of.

Shin Jiao's group knew that the time they are spending in this place is close to its end. After meeting with the king and arranging for the Im siblings, they will be leaving this place. And so, everyone has complex feelings inside of them.

Inside the carriage, Shin Jiao looks at Im Jae sitting beside Zixu Alreed.

"When are you two going to tie the knot?" Shin Jiao suddenly asked.

The two showed baffled expressions on their faces as they did not know what Shin Jiao means.

"I mean… When are you two going to get married?" he rephrases his words.

With this, the two showed a shy expression on their faces as they did not know what to say. As of right now, they are enjoying the company of each other and loved to be together. Marriage is already sure for the two, but how to proceed with that, they did not know.

"I'm just asking… I just wish that I can be here to see it." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing his words, the expression of Im Jae and Im Ao turned sad. Im Ao could not help but cry for a bit.

"Big brother,… are really going to leave us?"

Shin Jiao smiled and nodded his head.

"I cannot stay for long in this place. I still have a lot of things to do outside. A lot of things to prepare… But I know that we will still see each other someday. This is just temporary, right?" Shin Jiao said trying to placate the little boy.

The carriages and cars travel for a while until they reached the large castle ground.

When they saw the castle from the carriage windows, the Im Siblings immediately turned quiet.. The nostalgic scene seems to bring a lot of both good and bad memories for them.
