1138: Chapter 19 Disperse, everyone [1 more update] 1138: Chapter 19 Disperse, everyone [1 more update] âWho are you?â
Jia Lin was about to scream, but she held back when she saw the tall and strong man beside the masked man.
The man had come with the deputy captain of the Defense Team, so he surely wasnât a bad person.
Jia Lin couldnât recognize the familiar figure, but Jia Yan could clearly see his sisterâs face.
âCompared to ten years ago, she has matured,â Jia Yan thought as he looked at his sisterâs appearance.
He could always see her using Brainwave Power, but it was never as direct as seeing her in person.
The years had not left any profound marks on Jia Linâs face, probably helped immensely by the rapidly advancing medical technology on Earth, where the theoretical lifespan had reached two hundred years.
Although most people couldnât really live that long, the Jia family surely wasnât among them, so his sister, in her thirties, was still considered a youth.
âHeh, the little baby girl in her arms, another niece of mine?
How adorable,â Jia Yan noticed the baby girl in Jia Linâs arms and immediately felt an urge to hold her, remembering the time when he was a Mosquito Body and saw Jia Qi as a child, yet couldnât hold her.
However, his current identity was just a member of the Defense Team, and at that moment, he needed to be mindful of his status.
âMadam, the young miss is too mischievous.
I think you need to discipline her well,â Jia Yan spoke to Jia Lin without a bow or much of a respectful tone, choosing to speak as an equal.
The strong man beside him almost popped his eyes out.
Ordinary people would involuntarily show respect knowing they were facing the universally recognized Madam of the Jia family, but this man showed none.
Of course, Earth people, even now, didnât really understand why the Jia family had such a distinguished status.
Only a few remembered how closely the Giant Mosquito race had been aligned with the Jia family people back in the day.
Having gone through much over the years, Jia Lin was somewhat surprised to hear an equal tone from a member of the Defense Team, but clearly, she was no longer the impulsive young girl she had once been.
âIs Qi Qi causing trouble again?
Okay, Iâll discipline her properly.
Thank you for bringing her over.â
Seeing her daughter brought before her by a stranger, Jia Lin, as a mother, felt slightly uncomfortable, but then she remembered the powerful woman who had appeared a few years ago claiming to be her âaunt.â Her own daughter was probably one of the strongest among Earth people.
The man had easily subdued her daughter, and she immediately understood that this man must be more than he appeared!
So, her tone was not as haughty.
âIt seems Little Lin really has grown a lot over the years, acting a bit like a mother now,â Jia Yan saw his sisterâs demeanor and smiled under his mask, unseen by others.
âAlright, then Iâll leave the young miss to you, madam.
I hope you discipline her well and prevent her from causing trouble again,â Jia Yan said casually.
He set the shouting Jia Qi down on the ground, and the little girl ran up to Jia Yan, her tiny foot raised aiming to give him a fierce kick.
But seeing this, Jia Lin yelled, âJia Qi, how dare you hit someone in front of Mom?
Are you not listening to Mom?â
âHmph!â The little girl stopped her kick midway, seeming truly a bit scared of her mother despite being stronger.
âHeh, thank you.
This child really has been lacking discipline lately,â Jia Lin apologized to Jia Yan.
âAlright, Iâll be leaving then.â Jia Yan nodded and then left the house with the strong man.
As they stepped out, they could hear Jia Linâs stern voice disciplining her daughter from inside.
Jia Yan genuinely smiled; his sister indeed had authority over Little Qiqi.
Seeing Jia Yanâs actions all along, the strong deputy captain, who had been worrying about him, knew that although the Jia family were all incredibly gentle people, the entities behind them were not.
There had been servants who displayed poor attitudes and were dreadfully dealt with afterwards.
This man, was he not afraid at all?
âTell me, how can you be so bold?
Arenât you afraid of the forces behind the Jia family?â The strong man asked, bewildered.
âWhy should I be afraid?
Would the Jia family go and tattle for doing the right thing?â Jia Yan shook his head.
âButâŠ
itâs the Jia family,â the strong man was almost convinced that Mo Keâs mind didnât work like normal peopleâs.
In this era, not fearing the Jia family was unthinkable, especially when just mentioning the Jia family could bring unwarranted trouble because Jia Qi, having been kidnapped ten years ago, was someone everyone was extremely anxious about.
Yet here he was, stirring the pot wherever there seemed to be trouble!
âAlright, the Jia family isnât untouchable.
If Jia Lin isnât disciplining her child well, isnât it okay for me to remind her?
Now, tell me about my future responsibilities,â Jia Yan interrupted impatiently.
âUh.
I already said before, you can be a Hidden Guard for Princess Jiaqi.
But look at your relationship with her, can you still do it?
If not, should I change your position?â
âWhat change?
Itâs decided just like that,â Jia Yan said dismissively, waving his hand.
I mean, are you the boss or am I the boss, if you say no change then no change?
The strong man was speechless after Jia Yanâs remark, but thinking about the latterâs strength and possibly terrifying military background, he felt he couldnât lose his temper.
Even the people from Jiaâs family donât seem to be afraid of him, so as the vice-captain of the Defense Team, why canât he hold back?
âUh, alright then, Iâll take you to meet the other members of Princess Jiaqiâs guard,â the strong man said.
Jia Yan hummed indifferently, showing hardly any respect for this superior.
The strong man felt somewhat weepy inside.
Normally, newcomers would tremble at the sight of him, but this guy just seemed to treat him as someone to show the way.
But his background is terrifying, and his personal strength is extremely powerful.
Whether itâs playing with power or personal strength, he really canât compete with himâŠ
With this thought, the strong man really felt a bit like crying without tears.
But his task was almost done.
As soon as he brought the person in front of his colleagues, he decided to leave immediately, not bothering with this person anymore.
Since it seemed like his strength was sufficient to protect the Little Princess, he wasnât scared of anyone, not even those who wanted to discipline the Great Princess of the Jia Family.
He just hoped Mo Ke wouldnât pull any stunts next.
The strong man thought.
But what he didnât expect was, what he feared came true.
This troublemaker, upon meeting the team of over twenty guards and Hidden Guards dedicated to protecting the Little Princess, said his first wordsâŠ
âOkay, I donât think this little guy needs so many people to protect him.
You all can leave; Iâm enough by myself.â
After hearing the strong manâs introduction, this is what Jia Yan directly said.
âAh!
I knew it!â The strong man almost wanted to cry out loud in his heart.
He guessed that the other wouldnât just simply obey orders, but he didnât expect his first words to be so overturning.
A team of over twenty guards, and this newcomer, who just arrived, saying not to let the seniors work just like that!
Heavens, whoâs the boss here, you or me?
The strong man was almost trembling with anger.
âWhat?
Iâve been protecting Princess Qi Qi for five years, what gives you the right to stop us?â
A guard in his thirties jumped out.
The most glorious thing he had done in his life was to become a member of the legendary Jia Familyâs Defense Team.
Going out and mysteriously saying he is a close guard to an important person of Jiaâs family, countless beauties would throw themselves at him, how could he give up this job now?
âYeah, who are you?
You look even more imposing than our leader.
Youâre just a newbie.â
More than one member of the guard team felt a bit rebellious about Jia Yanâs words, with a few even approaching to attack.
Of course, they were just trying out initially, as these guards naturally had strong capabilities, most with intermediate level power and especially two with Earth Level late stage power.
To know that such a team, with modern equipment, if taken out to directly combat a thousand-man army, might not necessarily lose.
âDonât make a move.â
The strong man immediately knew things were going bad, but before he could finish speaking, a few of the Strong Ones had already made their move.
Swoosh!
He helplessly covered his cheek, seeing one, two, three, fourâŠ
Members of the guard team flew backward screaming, even the one claimed to be just a little less capable than him in Earth Level late stage was not spared.
And that man named Mo Ke, wearing a mask, just stood there with an indifferent expression, not even using his hands.
Just the impact of his Brainwave Power blew away all presences around him, making the strong man realize even clearer the immense gap between him and this Strong One, a gap that simply couldnât be put into words.
Ironically, he felt that the other party was still using around the Earth Level mid-term energy, only the control of the energy was streets ahead of their kind, which almost made the strong man want to scream, âIs this guy even cultivating the same thing as us?
Itâs totally different, alright!â
Honestly, he was indeed right.
The things Jia Yan cultivated were in so much higher grade than theirs; even if Earth people created a formal cultivation method, compared to Jia Yanâs Talent and cultivation method, the result would still be the same.
Even if Jia Yan did not use Earth Level energy, not even any energy, they could still not touch even a single hair of Jia Yan.
There was no way around it, the gap in strength was just too vast.
