Chapter 104 – Today, Right Now! (2/2)

So, Sam couldn’t hold back during the competition, he had to do his best!

“Lin Xiao, could it be you’re afraid? The otakus from the magic department are all cowards as expected, isn’t it just an injury, even if you break a leg, it’ll heal in half a year or so, what are you afraid of?” Sam thought that Lin Xiao was planning to beg for forgiveness, and thus contemptuously ridiculed him.

“Eh…” His words make Lin Xiao’s scalp crawl.

For Sam, face and honor were evidently more important than health, he didn’t even care about breaking a leg. As expected of a hotblooded male, he was completely different from trash like Lin Xiao that just lazed around all day.

However, this was the response Lin Xiao was waiting for!

“Afraid? No, brother Sam, you’re mistaken, I’m not worried that I’ll get injured, on the contrary… I’m worried about you!” The topic changed, Lin Xiao’s expression became grim and his tone carried strong anxiety.

“Worried about me?” Sam was at a loss.

What did he have to worry about?

“Yes, I’m really worried about you.” Lin Xiao shook his head with concern, “Sam, I’m thinking about if you heavily injure me during tomorrow’s competition, how would others see you?”

“Others?” Sam didn’t understand.

Seeing that he was bewildered, Lin Xiao patiently explained.

This was his logic, it already wasn’t a secret that Lin Xiao heavily injured the three brothers, it just hasn’t been spread yet. But if Sam really heavily injured Lin Xiao tomorrow, someone might take advantage of that and start something.

Question: Why were the three brothers heavily injured by Lin Xiao? Answer: Because they harassed his maid, and brought it upon themselves.

Another question: Then why did Sam ruthlessly injure Lin Xiao during the competition? Answer: Because Sam was in cahoots with the three brothers, and he was the one who prompted them to harass Lin Xiao’s maid!

“Sam, if you injure me, even if I don’t say anything, you would be suspected of settling your personal scores, then you would also be implicated with them! Could it be that you were actually the one that incited those three to harass my maid?”

Lin Xiao made a show about being earnest while saying words that made one fidget.

“You, Sam, the brother of the warrior department, a respectable virtuous person… Yet you incited your little brothers to sexually harass my maid in the middle of the streets. After that was revealed, you even helped them vent and purposely injured me during the fight… Tsk tsk, Sam, if this got out, would you even have the face to come out?”

Lin Xiao beat his chest and sighed with lament, and almost squeezed out some tears.

“Gossip is a fearsome thing Sam, I’m really worried that your reputation would be destroyed!”

Lin Xiao’s quick fire in succession made Sam’s head spin.

“That…”, finally Sam hesitated.

What Lin Xiao said made sense. Sam never expected such a serious consequence to happen.

He didn’t want to be labeled with a evil reputation of “harassing a maid”, and even more so of a head hoodlum that bullied others. He regarded himself as a upright man, how could he become a bad guy?

What should he do? Would he have to throw the match against Lin Xiao?

No way! He would definitely do his best during a competition, that was his principle! He would never concede that point no matter what Lin Xiao said.

“Hehe, don’t worry Sam, I’m not asking you to throw the match.” As if he saw through him, Lin Xiao aptly proposed his suggestion.

One that Sam had no way of refusing.

“Fight me, Sam, today, right now!”

“What did you say?”
