Chapter 334 – Based On Wha (1/2)

Lin Xiao fell silent for a moment and responded. Before Caesar could question him, everyone else in the room started making cynical remarks.

“Tsk, if you don’t want to join you don’t want to join, it can’t be helped that you’re a coward that’s afraid of death.”

“Right, it’s not like anyone’s forcing him to join, it’s just a brat, even if he goes, he’ll just get in the way.”

“Abra, Caesar, you guys needn’t waste any more time. Let’s wait one more day, if we can’t find anyone else, then it’s not a big deal even if there’s two people less.”

“That’s right! We’re enough to finish off those damn demons!”

The crowd started to make a commotion. Abra stayed silent and didn’t say anything, but it didn’t refect well on Caesar, he wanted to call out Lin Xiao, but he couldn’t find anything to say, so he just endured with a flushed face.

“ShenDai Ying, you’re also an investigator, right?” Caesar didn’t back down and turned to someone else for help.

“Un, yes….” ShenDai Ying weakly nodded.

“Do you want to join us? You’re very strong and your sword skills are even better than mine… if we have you, our chances of winning will increase drastically!”

“Hm, that…”

ShenDai Ying smiled and looked at Caesar, then at Lin Xiao. She thought for a moment and shifted backwards by a step and stood behind Lin Xiao, like she was trying to show where she stood.

“Sorry Caesar, I’m on Lin Xiao’s team this time.”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“He’s my team leader… so I have to listen to him, hehe.”

ShenDai Ying smiled, even though she was saying something infuriating for Caesar, her charming temperament made it difficult for anyone to rebuke her.

Damn, when did that woman go to Lin Xiao’s side? Isn’t she my fiancee? Secretly forming a team with Lin Xiao was one thing, but why was she listening to everything he said?

That thought flashed by in Caesar’s mind, but he didn’t have time to complain. Since ShenDai Ying was listening to Lin Xiao, then all he had to do was persuade Lin Xiao.

“Lin Xiao, why? Why are you refusing? Are you afraid? No, I don’t believe you’re that kind of person! We once stood together and you’ve never let me down!”

“Uh, Caesar, what you just said… sounds kinda gay.” Lin Xiao scratched his head and revealed a rarely seen expression.

For Lin Xiao, it didn’t matter how other people slandered him, they were all strangers that he would probably never meet again anyways. But he couldn’t take Caesar’s expectations and requests.

He didn’t know why this handsome guy had so much trust in him, and it was hard to refuse his earnest gaze, it felt like if he said no then he would immediately cry for him.

Caesar treated him as a comrade-in-arms, as a brother. He also admired Caesar as a person and treated him as a good friend. Although he often made his friends into scapegoats… cough cough, anyways, Lin Xiao was willing to put in some work if he could help Caesar.

But it couldn’t be helped, he couldn’t accept this time.

To others, this may just be a matter of normal demonic beasts blocking the way, but Lin Xiao knew that it was definitely not this simple.

The investigators were gathering and headed for Gotham Kingdom and the demonic beasts blocked the path at such a crucial time, this was definitely no mere coincidence!

Not mentioning whether this had anything to do with the Enlightened society or not, but since high-level demons appeared then they may be someone that Elena knows and he could possibly find out more about the rebellion through them, so Lin Xiao had to carefully investigate!

He already confirmed this with Elena through their eyes, she also had the same thoughts as him.

Since they needed to investigate, then that means they needed ample time. If he joined them, even if they were able to drive them away, they would never find out the truth.

So, he couldn’t join Caesar and had to act alone. Not just that, he also had to think of a way to delay them, otherwise they might alert the demons and ruin everything!

But how would he delay them from setting out?

Not to even mention a few days, he realized that he had to give Caesar a satisfactory answer right now…

Just as Lin Xiao fell silent and the atmosphere in the room became more and more stiff, a sudden timid voice broken the silence.

“Um, I heard arguing from outside earlier… is something wrong?”

“Hm?”

Lin Xiao looked back and saw that it was Yao Zi pulling her foolish little brother along.

Lin Xiao’s eyes sparkled when he saw them and finally thought of a way!

Caesar’s problem was that he was missing two people, since Lin Xiao didn’t want to join, then he just had to find two substitutes!

“Hehe, Yao Zi, Xiao Tian, you two came right on time, come here!”

“Eh? Us?”
