Chapter 104 – Today, Right Now! (1/2)

That night

Winterless City, Old District

A certain bar

According to Caesar, Sam’s only interest was drinking. Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xiao entered the bar, he saw that dark skinned drunkard.

“Sam, hello, I’m Lin Xiao, you should know who I am, right?” Lin Xiao walked next to him while beaming and greeted him, not in the least bit nervous.

“It’s you?” Seeing that it was Lin Xiao, Sam instantly raised his vigilance.

He didn’t even go look for Lin Xiao yet, why did he come looking for him with his maid? What was he trying to do?

Was he trying to pick a fight with him?

“Sam, take it easy, I know all about what you told my maid yesterday.” Lin Xiao waved his hands to pacify him, then explained in deadpan, “I originally thought you would harass my maid, but you didn’t. It seems that you’re a truly responsible man, completely different than those three conceited brothers.”

Lin Xiao dished out some flattery without noticing.

“Hmph, no need for those worthless words, no matter what, I wouldn’t touch an unarmed and defenseless maid.” Sam scoffed at his praise, “If you have something to say, then out with it! Otherwise, don’t disturb me from drinking. Just wait, we’ll settle this during the competition tomorrow!”

“Oh, as expected of a man, I didn’t misjudge you!” Lin Xiao wasn’t discouraged, and continued negotiating with him, “Sam, there is something small that I came to you for today.”

“Out with it!” Saying that, Sam couldn’t care less and took a large gulp of alcohol.

“Actually… I wanted to apologize to you.” Lin Xiao said something that would shock others with incomparable sincerity.

Watching his fine performance beside him, Elena sighed, and was deeply worried for Sam.

“Puh!” As expected, Sam choked on his drink and spat it all out, he thought that he was imagining it, he held back from coughing, and asked, “Ke… w-what did you just say?”

“I said, I want to apologize to you.” Lin Xiao pursed his lips and blinked his sincere eyes.

“Why?”

“For injuring the three brothers.” Lin Xiao sternly said, “Although they harassed my maid, then came looking for trouble, so getting beat up was reaping what they sow, but… I shouldn’t have injured them that much. It’s my bad for using too much strength, as their boss, Sam, I’m regretful for my actions.”

“Ah…” Sam wiped away the beer foam next to his mouth in a daze, looking at Lin Xiao’s sincere expression, he was dumbstruck.

Aren’t the magic department students too strange? Why do they even speak differently than the students from the warrior department?

Sam never would have expected Lin Xiao to apologize, not in a million years. Why did he just flip all of a sudden?

Wait… did Lin Xiao really come to apologize? Or was he coming to flaunt the fact that he was able to heavily injure the three brothers?

Sam felt like something was wrong.

Lin Xiao wasn’t an idiot, he definitely didn’t come today just to apologize, he must have some other motive!

“Hey, what do you really want?” Sam put down his beer mug and sternly asked, “Don’t play with me!”

“Heh, I won’t dare play with you, I just wanted to have a chat.” The foreplay was over, seeing that Sam was finally in the mood, Lin Xiao wanted to strike while the iron was hot and started peddling his fallacious reasoning, “Sam, I know that you want to teach me a lesson fair and square during tomorrows competition, and possibly… you also want to heavily injure me, to vent for the three brothers, and also to get face for the warrior department students, am I right?”

“Hmph, what about it?”

As long as Sam beat Lin Xiao during the competition, not only him, but the entire warrior department will be able to hold their head up high! And the victor, would without a doubt become adored by everyone, and the name of Hurricane Swordsman Sam would surpass Magic Swordsman Caesar!
