/*unedited*/

The elevator traveled really fast and it didn't take long before Shin Jiao appears in the large underground structure of the company. Unknown to all the employees and even the city, there is a really vast and deep underground space under the NXT Element Company building.

Shin Jiao build a manufacturing line underground. The elevator would drop to about 20 floors below before the first underground area can be reached.

Then from there, around 10 floors constituted the manufacturing area with 500 by 500 meters wide.

There are two elevators going to the 1st floor, a small one and a large one that can even carry a large cargo truck.

Shin Jiao didn't spend a lot of time working in this construct as Central was able to control some of Shin Jiao's modified construction vehicles rented by the company. After they were able to construct the whole underground area, Shin Jiao return the machines back to normal.

As he enters his room underground, Shin Jiao saw a lot of blueprints on the ground which he made using what he can recall from his mind. There are many parts and gears that look ordinary but have an extraordinary function.

"These are the things that I have seen in that forest in the other world… I knew I've seen them before… Wait… don't tell me that I…" Shin Jiao muses as his eyes suddenly lit up in realization.

He knew that he is somewhat involved with those people in the other world. How deep is his involvement? He didn't know.

As he looks at the blueprints on the table, he decided to sit down on the desk and began encoding something on the computer. Then after a while, he was able to create body armor which can cover the whole body of a person.

However, instead of a giant robot mech, it's more of mech-type body armor.

As Shin Jiao spends his time designing, he didn't notice that it already took him more than 5 hours while sitting in front of his computer.

After that, he didn't hesitate and press the create button.

"Ahhh… that took time. I hope that it would end up looking good." He muttered as he watches the progress bar completion rate goes up.

Shin Jiao stretches his hands up as practiced although his body is not aching at all.

He turns to look at the clock and thought that he still has enough time to create something by hand. And so he began working once again. This time, the materials he uses are the things inside his ring.



When Shin Jiao walked out of the elevator, he was met by a beautiful tall young woman. She has long black hair, pink lips, green eyes, and a slender body under her office uniform. Shin Jiao can see that the woman exudes an aura of beauty and dominance judging from her look and the way she stares at Shin Jiao.

The woman walked towards his direction and extended her hand towards him.

"Hello! I'm Marie Eleanor…" she said with a gentle smile on her face which could make a man's soul away.

The people going out of the elevator saw this scene and were dumbfounded. How could the icy beauty, and the executive of the marketing department greet and unknown man?

But then some of those who have been in the company since it began knew that the simple-looking man is not as how he looks.

Shin Jiao extended his hand as to not embarrass the beauty greeting him. His gentlemanly gesture gave the beautiful woman a faint glow of red in her face.

She didn't expect that the man in front of her would be better looking than the picture. She also noticed something when their hands touch. It was like a warm feeling cruising through her body making her feel comfortable and calm.

"Hi, I'm Shin Jiao, one of the technical employees in the company."

"Haha… you sure jest, Mr. Jiao. Or should I call you doctor Jiao?" she said while giving off a gentle smile.

Seeing this smile of hers, made the men in the area look stunned.

"Ah… My goddess showed her beautiful smile."

"Oh, my… her gorgeousness is too much for my heart."

The men in the area muttered while their eyes are glued to the woman shaking hands with Shin Jiao who immediately let's go, as he didn't want to gain the ire of the male employees in the company.

"Mr. Jiao would be fine Miss Eleanor…"

"Ah… Marie would be fine. You can just me Marie." She said with a pink blush.

Shin Jiao nodded his head but didn't say anything else.

"Pardon me. I still need to report to the CEO… It was nice meeting you… Marie." Shin Jiao politely said with a smile.

Marie almost went weak on her knees upon seeing Shin Jiao's handsome smiling face. She didn't know what happened as if the ice in her heart was towed.

Unknown to her, it was Shin Jiao's aura that is affecting her mind. This is how mortals perceive cultivators as powerful beings. Shin Jiao doesn't have any cultivation undulation in his body, but his physique is the one exuding that power without the spiritual pressure.

As his figure walks away, some of the employees who also noticed him have their eyes glued on his figure until he disappears on the elevator.

"Who was that?" one female employee asked.

"I think he is one of the executives."

"But, it's the first time I saw him in the company."

"Well, you guys are new here so you don't know who he is… His name is Mr. Shin Jiao. He is the technical adviser of the company."

A man said as he walks towards the exit of the building. The others followed him as they too are now going to go home after the long day of work.

Meanwhile, Marie Eleanor clenches her small fists as she just recovered from her stupor. She could not believe that a man has just made her heart skipped a beat. That even until now, she could not remove his handsome features in her mind.

"No, I must not be swayed by that guy. If I want to get a hold of this company, I must get close to him." She muttered.

She turns her gaze to the elevator and decided to go in and follow Shin Jiao.

"Wait, miss… I think we should go, now… I just receive a message. It's from your dad." Her secretary suddenly said chasing behind her.

When she heard the words from her secretary, her eyes turned into slits.

She suddenly thought about the time before she left home and decided to go to China a few months ago. While staying in China and hiding from her father, she discovered a new growing private company called NXT Element.

Marie Eleanor is actually the sole heiress of a huge conglomerate in the UK, a huge business empire called Neoflux Corporation.

She was the only daughter of the chairman and was trained to be the next chairwoman of the business empire. But she was also pampered and sheltered since young.

One day, she discovered that her father has other children from other women before her mother passed away and she was distraught and became angry. And at that time she decided to run away from home.

Marie Eleanor decided to go on her own to prove that she can live even without her father's support. And true to her plans, she was able to live a life of her own for a couple of weeks. And then she decided to work in NXT Element Company as a manager at first.

Due to her experience in working for her father's company she immediately went up the ranks in just two weeks.

With the absence of the two lady boss, she was the person who held the helm and made a huge contribution to the business. Hence Central decided to promote the woman.

Her background and training made her a capable person as one of the executives now working under Shi Anne Li.



As she walks out of the building, she suddenly receives a call.

The caller ID is unknown. So she hesitated before finally answering the call.

"Hello, who's this?"

'Ahhh… you finally answered. You ungrateful child! Do you know how worried I was? You would really not call your old man, just because of your tantrum?' a tired voice on the other line said.

"Humph! You are fine. You have a lot of heirs in there. Just give them your business empire, for all I care." She said in annoyance whenever she remembers that her father was unfaithful to her lovely mother.

Her mother is a beautiful Chinese woman, who married a rich English man as the two fell in love. But her heart could not accept what her father did, so she is still angry until today.

'My dear, it was a long time ago. I didn't even know that those people exist until your mom died.' He reasoned.

"You already said that… but I still don't believe you." She angrily said while stumping her feet walking away.

However, Marie didn't expect that in her anger she didn't notice that she is already walking on a road and a fast-moving car is running towards her direction.

"No! Miss, look out!" her secretary shouted, but she knew it was too late as the light from that car has blinded her.
