Chapter 333 – Impressive-Looking, But Useless (1/2)

When he saw Lin Xiao and the others, it was like a hungry wolf meeting some bunny rabbits. His eyes were glowing and he just wanted to eat them up.

They were missing just two people, now with Lin Xiao and ShenDai Ying, wasn’t that just perfect?

Of course, Caesar knew that he couldn’t act too impatient. He was someone of status after all, and Lin Xiao hadn’t agreed to join their team yet, so it would be terrible if he scared him away.

But Caesar didn’t understand why his fiancée was with Lin Xiao… But that wasn’t important, as long as they could solve this problem, Caesar would be delighted even if Lin Xiao kidnapped ShenDai Ying!

“Uh… I say, can you two please get off me already… I can’t breathe.”

The youth that was squashed underneath groaned.

The three were stacked like a sandwich sprawled out in the doorway. Lin Xiao was the most pitiful since he was squashed at the bottom and was almost flattened. Elena was in the middle, thanks to her excess flesh, it provided a good cushion so she was fine.

“Ah! Sorry.”

The first one to react was ShenDai Ying, she was at the top so she jumped up to the side while trying to help Elena up.

Although she was squashed on top of Lin Xiao, hearing his painful groans gave Elena a refreshing feeling, a feeling of happiness that she succeeded in her revenge. but it’s not like she could always use her body and squish Lin Xiao, so she could only climb back up. The problem was because her body was too top-heavy, she couldn’t straighten her back and she lost her balance and fell forwards again. Thanks to ShenDai Ying catching her arm, a tragedy was prevented.

“Elena, be careful… grab my hand!”

“Tsk…”

Elena didn’t feel good about ShenDai Ying’s concern, even as she grabbed her hand she didn’t thank her, she just glanced at her then stood silently to the side.

“You two… why is no one helping me!”

The two beauties stood up by themselves and left Lin Xiao that was squashed flat on the floor alone. He stood up brushing the dust off his body and awkwardly smiled towards the people in the room.

“Hehe, everyone’s here? W-we were just passing by and accidentally tripped.”

“Passing by? Who are you? This isn’t a place for a brat like you!”

Abra thought it was some brat that came from somewhere and was ready to call somebody to chase them away, but was stopped by Caesar.

“Wait… Abra, he’s also an investigator.”

“Ha? Him too?”

That was something only Caesar could say, if it was anyone else, Abra would have thought they were pulling his leg.

According to Caesar’s explanation, this youth was called Lin Xiao. He was a classmate from Loran Academy and also received the prize from the academy tournament. He probably also came for the mission at Gotham Kingdom.

“…”

“…”

Caesar and Abra were silent, and the others didn’t understand what was going on and didn’t say anything either.

Unlike Caesar’s speechlessness, Abra was sizing up Lin Xiao and after confirming with Caesar he couldn’t help but sigh.

Weren’t the youngsters nowadays all too strong? He thought that only the famous prince Caesar would be able to become a qualified investigator at 16, he couldn’t believe there was another one. So was Lin Xiao also someone just as remarkable?

Wait… did Caesar say that they participated in the tournament together?

Abra realized that even though they knew each other and had the qualifications for an investigator, but this brat might not be as strong as Cesar. He might have just leeched off Caesar.

Even though they were lacking people right now, Abra couldn’t easily let some riffraff in. This was a life or death fight, any one person that falls behind could cause irreversible consequences. Abra couldn’t gamble with the lives of so many people.

On one side Abra and Caesar were mulling over the matter about the team. On the other, Rosie was clearly very happy.

“Why did you guys just get here? Aren’t you too slow!”

Rosie rushed over when she saw them and grabbed Elena’s arm while making a face at ShenDai Ying. Then started chatting with Lin Xiao about what happened.

“Rosie, this isn’t the time to be chatting!” Caesar interrupted Rosie and stared at Lin Xiao, “I think you heard all about it, so let me make it short… Lin Xiao, we’re still lacking two people, along with you and ShenDai Ying, we can set off!”

“Ah, Now? Caesar, wait, I still haven’t…”

“Abra, we have everyone we need!” Without waiting for Lin Xiao, Caesar decided for him and then turned to discuss with Abra, “It’s too late today, we’ll leave first thing in the morning tomorrow. At that time, I’ll lead a group for a frontal assault and you’ll take Lin Xiao and direct the others from the rear.”
