Chapter 108 – Repaying Deb (1/2)

t

Thinking of Lin Xiao, Rosie clenched her jaws, and was envious.

Who knew what kind of schemes he had, but all of Lin Xiao’s opponents forfeited in the group competitions, and he effortlessly qualified for the next round.

The knockout competition was even more strange.

Lin Xiao’s first opponent was the boss of the warrior department, hurricane swordsman Sam. Everyone thought his luck ran out, but something strange happened once again.

In the first round, Sam actually forfeited!

Apparently, Sam got in a fight with someone in the bar the day before the competition and was heavily injured so he couldn’t participate in the competition. And thus, Lin Xiao won once again without fighting and successfully advanced to the top four.

As soon as that news got out, there was an uproar. Everyone expressed that they were unable to accept such preposterous results, people suspected one by one that Lin Xiao used some sinister methods to threaten his opponents to forfeit.

Of course, the two judges, Woos and Momm also found it strange, so they went looking for the injured Sam after the competition and asked him about what happened in detail.

“Sorry teacher, it was indeed my own fault, it had nothing to do with Lin Xiao… I didn’t fall prey to Lin Xiao’s plots, neither did I duel with Lin Xiao, I furthermore didn’t get injured by him during the duel… how is that possible? I-I’m a fifth level warrior, how could I lose to him? Impossible, no way.”

That was Sam’s position.

Although they didn’t quite understand what he meant by the duel with Lin Xiao, but since he himself already said it, then that proved that Lin Xiao never used any treacherous methods.

So Lin Xiao won fair and square.

So he was cleared of any suspicion and in addition to his nickname of the S-class muddler he also obtained another one, ‘God’s Apostle’.

If he wasn’t, how could he have such good luck?

Of course, Rosie didn’t believe that. She knew that Lin Xiao must have sneakily did something, but she didn’t bother exposing it.

Right now, she and Lin Xiao were in the same position, Lin Xiao’s advancement was great news for her!

That was also the real reason for why she came looking for Lin Xiao!

“Cough… Er hm”

Rosie cleared her throat and put on a vigorous smile, ordered Afu to wait on the street, walked up by herself and prepared to knock on the door.

“Eh? Why’s the door unlocked?” Just as she knocked, she noticed that the door opened.

What is going on? Does Lin Xiao not lock the doors when he’s at home?

That shouldn’t be the case, Lin Xiao would never be that careless. Well, leaving the house without locking the door was impossible.

Rosie was unsure, so she carefully pushed opened the door and tiptoed inside, then perked up her ears to listen for surrounding activity.

As she came to the entrance, she heard an intense argument coming from within the room.

“Give me money!!!” Someone yelled.

Rosie was startled.

What was happening? Did a thief break in, then met Lin Xiao and it turned from theft into a mugging?

No, that can’t be right, in any case, Lin Xiao was a magician, how could he be mugged by a petty thief.

Also, that voice sounded extremely familiar, that clear and dreamy voice undoubtedly belonged to a beauty, but she just momentarily couldn’t think of who she was.

Who was it?

Rosie raised her vigilance, hid at the corner of the hallway, stealthily stuck her head out and wanted to get a good look.

The quarrel within the room was still ongoing.

“Hey, Elena, why are you asking for money again? You said that you didn’t have money to buy roast goat leg yesterday, so I gave you same, now you’re coming again and asking for more… Strange, aren’t you spending money way too fast lately?”

“Tsk, you miser, just forget about it.” That clear female voice was Elena, her side was currently facing the hallway, and Rosie could see her worthy curves.

“Miser? Hmph, how dare a mere maid, isn’t it just some money, I’ll give… eh, where’s the money I hid underneath my bed?” Lin Xiao asked.

“The money you hid under your bed? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Elena feigned innocence.

“There was a bag of silver coins under my bed just yesterday, and now it’s gone… Hey, Elena, did you steal it?” Lin Xiao interrogated.

“No!”

“It wasn’t you? That’s strange, did the bag grow legs and run away? Or, was it picked away by some stray cat?” Lin Xiao restrained his anger and calmly asked.

“A stray cat? Un, that’s possible.” Elena seriously answered.

“Peh! Don’t play dumb with me!” Lin Xiao suddenly became very agitated, “You’re the damn cat that took it, right! Elena, you weren’t actually buying groceries, you were secretly spending my money, right?”

“No!” Elena still did not admit it, and at the same time countered, “Since you believe that I secretly spent your money, then what about the evidence? Since I spent money, then I should’ve bought something, right, so where’s the thing that I bought?”

Saying that, Elena spun in place, her light maid skirt fluttering, like it was trying to show that there was nothing hidden underneath her clothes.
