Chapter 82 – The Way to Kill the Demon King (1/2)

You know everything?

“… Hmph, stop talking big!” Elena hesitated and an expression of surprise flashed by, then asked with a cold expression, “All you do is laze around, what can you know?”

She won’t believe Lin Xiao’s lies.

Ever since she started living with Lin Xiao, all this pervert knew how to do was tease her, he never once asked around about what had happened to her!

Yet he has the audacity to say that he knew everything about her… this guy was definitely lying!

“I’m not lying, Elena.” Lin Xiao didn’t choose to explain himself, he just softly said something, “A rebellion happened, right?”

“…” At that instant, it was like Elena was struck by lightning.

How did he know?

Without waiting for Elena to find an answer, Lin Xiao continued to speak.

“If I’m not wrong, Elona is in a very dangerous place. Not only is she being chased by the Holy Light Church, there’s also someone from the demons that want to kill her, right?” As he said that, Lin Xiao reluctantly smiled, some of the color returning to his dead face, “So that’s why that you were willing to beg me to take her in… because she has no other place to go, she’ll only die if she returns to the Forest of the End.”

“What? H-how did you know??” Elena was astonished to the point where she repeatedly retreated, unable to believe what she heard.

This fellow, he usually pretends to act foolish, but he actually knew everything all along?

“Heh, it’s actually quite simple, all I had to do was reason a bit…” Lin Xiao nonchalantly began to explain his deduction process.

There are only two reasons for why Elena, the Demon King, would be stranded in human society… she either got done in by the humans or the demons.

If it was the first reason, then there was no way that the demons wouldn’t have done anything for a couple of months. Even if they didn’t start a large-scale war, they would have at least sent some spies to investigate and rescue the Demon King, right?

But nothing happened, there was no war, no rescuers, just a small kitty, Elona, with low IQ and EQ who had escaped.

She even almost died.

So, the remaining probability was that Elena was done in by the demons.

“Elena, you’re the leader of the high-level demons, the Demon King, yet you were done in by your own, there can only be one reason… someone was coveting your position, and tried to use an armed rebellion to seize power.

Elena couldn’t deny Lin Xiao’s analysis. That’s right, Elena encountered a rebellion, someone plotted a rebellion to usurp power!

“You knew all along? Damn pervert!” Not only was Elena not happy, she became even angrier, “Why did you not say so earlier? Why did you pretend that you didn’t know?”

“Eh… don’t get angry.” Lin Xiao shook his hands to beg for mercy, “It’s not that I didn’t want to, there are just two more questions that I haven’t figured out yet, so I didn’t want to make any judgments yet.”

“Two questions?” Elena lost some of her vigor.

After analyzing so far, what other questions do you have?

“Two questions, number one, why did the rebels not kill you, but stuff you inside of a box?”

Although Lin Xiao had a questioning tone, he never expected to receive an answer form Elena, because Elena probably didn’t know either.

So Lin Xiao began asking and answering by himself.

“It isn’t logical. They successfully usurped power but didn’t want to kill the old King, then why the hell are they trying to usurp power?”

“Right, why didn’t they kill me?” Elena also wanted to know.

Inadvertently, their positions started to change.

Earlier, she was aggressively insulting the dejected Lin Xiao, but with just a bit of work, Lin Xiao took hold of power and now she was seeking advice from him.
