The Geared Immortal

The city of Glow part 3

/*unedited*/

The dark sky in contrast to the natural glowing objects surrounding the city of glow makes picture-perfect scenery that can make one in awe of nature.

Along the dark alley, two people are standing at the top of an old wall while watching the surroundings.

"So, is the information that little Jinyu has heard correct or not? We've been standing like fools in this place for a while now." Agnes said while grumbling.

"You complain too much as if you can be seen by others. That cloak you are wearing is making you invisible. So just be a good demon queen and wait alright." Shin Jiao said with a frown.

The two of them have come here after they heard from Jinyu Ji the news that there would be an exchange in this place by two underground gangs. This exchange cost a lot of spirit stones and beast cores plus a harmful drug that is becoming popular in the slums, the mystic powder.

According to the streets, the effect of this drug is very potent and can give the user a boost of strength by a level. However, the side effect is causing addiction, mental fatigue, and many more.

When Shin Jiao heard this information, he could not help but think of the illegal drugs on earth.

However, their purpose in this place is not the drugs but the money. Since he needed more spirit stones and beast core for their travels, this is a quick way to get the needed cash and supply.

"Sigh… if not for the need of that damn spirit stone thingy then we could have already left this place." Agnes once again grumbled.

"Shush! People are coming." Shin Jiao signaled Agnes to be quiet then followed by their figures suddenly vanishing from the wall and then appearing at a large tree nearby.

Not long later, around fifty beast-men suddenly appear at the dark alley. Shin Jiao noticed that most of them are wolves and reptilian beast-men races.

When both parties met they immediately did some negotiations and then began showing the merchandise and the money.

When Shin Jiao and Agnes saw this, they immediately went to work.

Taking out a long rifle, Shin Jiao immediately marked the people in his crosshair.

Then he pulled the trigger.

Agnes immediately made her move too as she uses her fastest movement and appears in the midst of the group.

Puchi! Puchi!

Two beast-men fell to the ground with a large hole on their heads.

When the two groups saw this they immediately became alarmed and drew out their weapons.

However, not one of them was able to move because a graceful figure began dancing the midst of them. But the dance is not something that one can appreciate; only feared.

It was a dance of death.

Everywhere Agnes falls beast-men would die. And none were spared in that place as those who tried to run would be picked by Shin Jiao and shot down.

Not long later, the stench of blood is now permeating the air. So Shin Jiao and Agnes immediately took the things they needed and ran away from this carnage.

They didn't take the drugs as they didn't need it. Their purpose is only the money hence they were able to grab it and ran.

Arriving in their rented room, the two immediately cleaned themselves up because they knew the sharp noses of those wolfmen soldiers. And true to their conjecture, not long after they have left a group of wolfmen soldiers immediately arrived in the place and saw the carnage.

"Captain, what do you think of this?" one of the soldiers asked.

"I can say that this is a turf war between these two factions."

"So do we have to investigate this?"

"What do you mean? I'm glad that these hoodlums would die. That way our city would have its peace one more." The captain said while turning his figure and walked back.

"Take care of everything." He shouted as he leaves the area.

Unknown to Shin Jiao and Agnes, the patrol soldiers of the city are looking highly of them for killing the scums of the city.

The two didn't stop with only that, Shin Jiao and Agnes began stealing more from here and there from the underground gangs, and through this process literally destroyed the underground gang that night.

The next day…

The golden rays of the sun greeted the whole land as it chases away the darkness.

With a bright start of a new day, the once gloomy city of Glow suddenly became brighter as the news immediately spread throughout the city that the underground gangs were destroyed. And those remaining are too afraid to step forward and do their usual business.

Then the legend of the two human ghosts began to spread. The eye witness tells about the two ghostly figures that were seen running on the roof and killing the bad guys.

Meanwhile, at this time of the day, Shin Jiao is currently busy making another hoverbike for Agnes. They have already gotten more than enough funds for their travel. Plus what made Shin Jiao and Agnes continue rubbing the underground gangs is because of the cruelty that they have seen.

For Shin Jiao this is not new as he has seen a lot. However, for Agnes, it is something of a taboo. If not for Shin Jiao to help her control her emotion, the whole city would have been engulfed in fire.

"Hey, small boy! Are you done with our breakfast yet?" Agnes asked lazily while sitting on a sofa.

"It's almost finished big sister… I assure you that our breakfast today is really good." Jinyu Ji said with a big smile.

"You brat… Haha… You truly know my weakness. Hihi…" Agnes said while feeling happy.

In the time of their travel, she found that the little boy's culinary skills are truly superb. That's why she would always drool whenever she can smell what Jinyu Ji would cook. Though she didn't need to eat anymore, still it is a more pleasurable activity for her.

Unknown to the three, because of them, the city has now returned to its old glow and the people who were once afraid to go out have now dared to roam the streets. And this became a festive atmosphere throughout the whole city.

Opposite to the celebration like the atmosphere of the city, right at this moment, a chaotic discussion is happening inside the city hall.

There are two factions that are currently having a debate. The first one is a group of wolves that is angry at the two humans who killed and clean up the underground gangs. While the other one is a group of mixed species of silver furred wolves and some felines.

"This is outrageous! We cannot let those humans do this to our territory! We must catch them and punish them…"

"No! We must kill those two!"

"It's outrageous that humans would do this. We must declare war against humans!"

The people who were outraged by the action of Shin Jiao and Agnes shouted.

"It seems to me that you people are fine with the city under the underground gangs? Are you in cahoots with them or receiving large benefits?"

"Yeah, now that I can go out of my house without worry, I am happy for what they did."

"I agree, we should actually give them some rewards."

The people who agree to the action of the two shouted.

In the midst of this chaos sat a middle-aged man in a city Lord's chair as he quietly reads the report. His brows are knitted after learning about the situation that had happened outside.

In total there were more than a hundred of casualty and many more are wounded. Those who were killed have been known to hold a high position in the underground gangs.

This truly surprised the City Lord.

It is known that he only posted the new mission last night and it was immediately executed. Last time, the mission was a failure and many of the people who accepted the mission were killed or chased out of the city. But now, it was different and from the gist of it, only two people are responsible.

Not long later, his attention went back to the chaotic discussion on the table. And upon hearing their sides, he immediately frowns. Turning his gaze to the person who spoke the most about killing the two people who attacked the underground gangs, he asked.

"Minister, you just talked about killing those two people. Do you know who they are? Are you able to stop the underground gangs with your words alone? What have you done when they underground gangs are causing chaos?" the city Lord said in a cold tone.

Right now he is angered by the senseless arguments that are happening. Last time when they convene for a meeting they were quiet and didn't even suggest anything. Now that everything was resolved, they began to bicker.

"These cowards only know how to bark." Moon Fang thought as he shook his head.

He then calmly stood and looks at the city outside and a smile appear on his face.

…

Right at this time, two hoverbikes are rushing out of the city towards the northern direction. Their destination is the next city which is a bit closer to the front lines. However, from what Shin Jiao knew. That city is more than five hundred kilometers from the city of Glow. And from his estimate, it would take them around a week to reach there.

"This would be a long travel." Shin Jiao sighs.

But when he saw the happy and excited smile on Agnes' beautiful face, which made her look like a child who just received a new gift, he could not help but show a wry smile.
