Chapter 499 – Don’t Poke the Sleeping Dragon

When the guards were about to act, Mina suddenly ran out and stood in front of them and told them to stop.

“Mina, what are you doing?”

Bacon never expected Mina to come out and disrupt them at such a crucial time!

“I-I… I don’t believe he’s a liar!”

“Hah? You don’t believe it? We already have all the evidence, is it your place to speak? Who do you think you are!”

“I, I…” Mina stammered and couldn’t respond.

Indeed, she couldn’t refute the evidence, but when she saw Bacon’s smug expression like he was getting his way, and slandering a good person, she unconsciously rushed out to help Lin Xiao.

Bacon felt his dignity being hit as he saw her stammering but not willing to give up! What was wrong with her, why did she keep going against him? After thinking about that, he couldn’t help but shift his firepower to Mina!

“Mina, are you trying to take his side? I’m warning you if you say another word and continue to take his side then I can only consider you as his partner and arrest you as well!”

“What? I…”

Mina nervously bit her lips and looked at Bacon and then turned to look at Lin Xiao. Getting herself involved because of him? That doesn’t seem logical… Although she didn’t believe he was a liar, the evidence was against him.

“What should we do… it would be good if there was a proper reason, reason… hm? Right, reason!”

Mina suddenly thought of something and took a deep breath before talking to Gerrard.

“Deputy manager Gerrard, wouldn’t you know if it’s real or not as long as you question him about the evidence? Perhaps there may be some misunderstanding!”

“Right! Why didn’t I think of that…” Gerrard quickly ran to Lin Xiao and asked him about the evidence they had.

“Oh, you’re asking me about why the luminous gold’s effects disappeared? And also why didn’t I know about the legends of Gotham’s dragon?”

Lin Xiao nodded and told them the truth.

“Because Claire never told me.”

“Hah?”

They thought he would give an answer that everyone would be satisfied with, but this time he shocked them once again!

“That…”

Mina thought she could count on Lin Xiao to convince everyone but who would have thought he would say some nonsense like that.

“Hahaha, Mina, how about it? Are you regretting it?”

Bacon started smugly laughing and pointed at Mina while ridiculing her.

“You bitch! I gave you a chance, now it’s too late to regret it! Guards, arrest all three of them along with their accomplice Mina!”

“Bacon! Y-you’re shameless!”

Watching herself being slandered as an accomplice, Mina got anxious and thinking about the humiliation she received earlier she clenched her teeth and decided to go all out!

“Bacon! You dirty pervert, relying on your status to take advantage of girls. Now you’re trying to arrest him to dominate these two girls, I-I won’t let you!”

Mina puffed her cheeks and pulled Elena and ShenDai Ying’s arms to try and protect them, but it was like they didn’t appreciate it.

What were they getting all tense for? They weren’t getting taken advantage of, and with Lin Xiao here, who can even take advantage of them…

“What? Baron Bacon, is what Mina said true?”

“Gerrard, d-don’t be tricked! She’s slandering me!”

“I’m not! When there was no one here earlier…. he even tried to touch my butt! Thankfully they came in time, otherwise…”

“Mina! You bitch, have you fallen for that bastard mutt who came from who knows where and that’s why you’re speaking up for him? You really are a slut!”

“W-what did you say!?” Mina didn’t have thick skin and when she was insulted in front of everyone else, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

But Lin Xiao didn’t really feel anything.

“Hey, he just insulted you, aren’t you angry?” Elena raised an eyebrow and quietly asked.

“Sigh, forget it, you know what they say about impulsiveness.” Lin Xiao shrugged and helplessly responded.

“You’re not getting used to being insulted because of me, right?”

“Maybe… so you shouldn’t insult me anymore.”

“Really?”

“Uh… no, I still like being insulted by you!”

“Hmph, as expected of a pervert.” Elena snorted and looked at him with disdain.

“Ah, so comfortable!”

When Bacon saw that the youth had no reaction to the insults, he thought he was just a coward who didn’t dare talk back. Mina was still holding her mouth and sobbing, her pitiful appearance stirred up Bacon’s desire to conquer which made him even more arrogant.

“Mina, look at what a bitch you are! You’re protecting those two women… it seems like birds of a feather flock together! You’re a ***** and they are just as disgusting as you are!”

Bacon kept on insulting them since there was no one who could stop him.

“A maid with such a good figure would surely get used by their master daily right? How perverted! And what about that vixen who came from who knows where, wearing black stockings and high heel shoes…. are you in that industry and trying to get customers with your legs? Then why don’t you go to an underground tavern!?”

“Underground tavern?”

ShenDai Ying didn’t understand at first, but after thinking about it she realized what he meant by customers and underground tavern and she immediately blushed. She couldn’t keep listening to it and placed her hand on her sword and was ready to cut him down.

At this time, a small hand stopped her.

Elena pulled her hand and shook her head. The opponent was a Baron, if they did anything, Lin Xiao would surely be in a tough spot, so Elena followed what Lin Xiao did and stopped ShenDai Ying.

Although ShenDai Ying was taken care of, when she turned to look at Lin Xiao he didn’t look right. He was silent for a bit then started walking towards Bacon!

“Hey, what are you doing?” Elena pulled Lin Xiao back and nervously asked.

“Nothing. That guy’s mouth stinks so I’m getting him to close it.” Lin Xiao still had a calm expression, but the anger seeped out of his eyes.

Elena quickly realized what he was going to do and felt warm, but she didn’t let it show and just copied what Lin Xiao said earlier.

“Sigh, forget it, you know what they say about impulsiveness.”

“Uh… are you copying me?”

Lin Xiao could naturally tell that Elena was mocking him, so he couldn’t help but bitterly smile and explain.

“Don’t worry. I was just thinking that since I took Claire’s badge and became Gotham’s dragon, then I should do something fitting of the identity to repay her, right?”

“So, how are you going to repay her?”

“Hehe.”

Lin Xiao just chuckled and then gently pushed Elena’s hand aside then walked in front of Bacon.

“Bacon is it… I hear you’re a Baron?”

“That’s right, I’m a Baron and my dad is a Duke! It’s too late to realize how powerful I am! It’s useless even if you kneel down and beg for mercy!”

“Don’t beg someone like that! I…”

Mina rubbed her eyes and noticed the youth leaving and wanted to quickly follow him to help, but before she could take a step, the two girls next to her dragged her back.

Mina saw a similar emotion in their eyes when she looked back in confusion… trust.

“Beg? No, you’re mistaken, I just wanted to help a certain tomboy discipline their retainers.”

“Hah? Discipline? Who…”

Before Bacon could finish, there was a loud slap!

At that instant, the entire room fell silent as everyone widened their eyes and looked at Bacon who became mute.

Bacon was clutching his swollen face.

“Apologize!”

Lin Xiao squinted and gave him a fierce slap to the face.
