“Important? Ah, of course, it’s very important! Elena, if we can catch Nick before it gets dark, then we can go back early.”
“Early? What do you need to do?”
“Idiot… of course, it’s to drink sister Ying’s chicken soup! If we can go back early, then it’ll be just right and the soup will still be hot and delicious… if we’re late, not only would sister Ying have to wait, but the soup will also be cold!”
“Cough… just for that!?” Elena almost choked on her own spit.
This guy was still thinking about drinking soup at a time like this.
Although with his current strength, catching the third apostle will be a piece of cake… can you please at least give him a bit of respect and not just be thinking about chicken soup?
“Why are you so surprised? Is there anything wrong with wanting to go back early for soup?”
“Pervert, be serious! … How could drinking soup be important??”
“How is it not important? That’s chicken soup filled with love made personally by sister Ying!”
“So what, isn’t it still just chicken soup?”
“It’s not the same! That’s made personally by sister Ying! … Tsk tsk, I get it, it’s because you can’t make chicken soup that delicious, so you’re jealous, right? Don’t worry, after we’re back, I’ll get her to give a bowl to you, so how about that?”
“Tsk, do you think I want a bowl of that damned soup?”
“Yes, I do think that, because you’re a gluttonous cat that never gets full.”
“… Enough, damned pervert, let’s go!”
“W-what are you so rushed for? … Do you also want to get back early?”
“… Shut up! Let’s go!”
Even though she may have said she didn’t want it, Elena continuously urged Lin Xiao to try and get him to move faster. If they could finish early, then there was nothing wrong with drinking a bowl of ShenDai Ying’s hot chicken soup! Just thinking about the soup made with her extraordinary culinary skills, it was as if Elena could almost smell the richness coming from the soup. She also picked up her pace and Lin Xiao saw all of that but didn’t say anything.
…
…
Same day
After a while
There was a young man and woman standing outside a house.
To be more specific, an innocent-looking black-haired youth and an angry silver-haired maid.
The young man was weakly standing to one side and was like a kid who did something wrong and the maid was angrily scolding him.
You can’t even imagine what kind of idiotic thing this guy just did!
“Bastard, do you know where we are?” Elena pointed to the door and said.
“Of course I know, isn’t this Nick’s house? We said we would come together.”
That’s right, this was Nick’s house. Usually, as a Saint, Nick would be at the church, but because he fell sick, he took a break and went home to recuperate, so he was living at his own home.
“Since you know this is Nick’s house, then do you still remember what you came here for!?” This was clearly their lair, yet she was still so loud like she was afraid they couldn’t hear them.
But strangely, no matter how loud she was no one noticed or came to ask about it, it was strange.
“Of course, I remember… I came to catch the third apostle and get him to apologize to sister Ying.”
“Hm? What did you say? Louder, I can’t hear you!”
“Uh… okay, okay. I was saying that I wanted to expose Saint Nick and then arrest him for interrogation… you can hear that right?”
“Since you know you came to catch someone, then shouldn’t you be more low-profile? What if you scare them away?”
“Of course, I know that…. was I not low-profile enough?”
“Low-profile? Heh… you really were so low-profile.” Elena laughed as she pointed to the idiots knocked out on the floor.
“Look at what you did! You were so low-profile that you knocked out all the servants! Is there anyone more low-profile than you?”
“Uh…”
Following Elena’s finger, Lin Xiao saw the ten idiots lying on the floor and awkwardly scratched his head.
Yes, they were all Nick’s servants who were lying on the ground with some frothing at the mouth. Some were lying still like they were corpses and some for some reason were sunken into the wall…
They were in different positions, but they all shared something in common and were unconscious.
And the culprit who knocked them out was naturally Lin Xiao!
Before they were even inside, he already knocked out all his servants.
A detective who was as violent as Lin Xiao was simply so low-profile to the point that even if Nick was asleep, he would have already woken up and run away!
“Hm… don’t just scold me, you can’t blame me!”
“You used magic to knock them out, who else can I blame?”
“But I had no choice… they were insulting me, oh right, they also insulted you!”
Those people were really asking for it!
Everything had to be explained from the beginning…
At first, when they arrived at Nick’s house, they planned to pretend to be visiting Nick since he was sick. And then when they met he would question him and force the truth out of him and catch him! The third apostle may be strong, but he wasn’t Lin Xiao’s opponent, and he was also injured in the fight before, so without Lin Xiao’s cheat skill of recovering while asleep, he would be nothing in front of Lin Xiao right now.
Unfortunately, when Lin Xiao knocked and borrowed Snow’s name to pretend to be visiting, they were denied entry by the servants!
“That guy said Saint Nick was sick and refusing all visitors and wouldn’t let us in… tsk, did he think I wouldn’t notice? His eyes darted everywhere and his body was tightened, he was obviously lying!”
That kind of shitty lie won’t work on Lin Xiao, so he repeatedly questioned the servant and almost forced the truth out of him.
“Then he said Saint Nick wasn’t home and had just left and told us to come back another day… so I was thinking, even if he left, he would come back eventually right? So I’ll just go in and wait, but this bastard still wouldn’t let me in!”
For some reason, even though his lies were exposed, that servant still wouldn’t let him in!
Since Lin Xiao couldn’t do anything, he could only use Gotham’s dragon to force himself inside!
But something unbelievable happened when the servant realized he had no other option, he suddenly got angry and called all the servants over to try and catch Lin Xiao!
“Elena, you also saw, they were calling me a liar and trying to catch me! That’s fine, I don’t care, but more importantly, they were also insulting you!?”
When he thought of what happened, he was indeed quite angry.
“Think about how nasty those insults were! They said that your chest was so perversely large and must have been violated by numerous men daily to become like that. I couldn’t endure that so how could I not teach them a lesson?”
“Tsk… I never asked you to stand up for me. Well… they did go overboard.”
“Right? It was too much! They were saying nonsense with their eyes wide open, your chest is indeed perversely large, but it’s not because it was violated by other men!”
“Hm… of course.”
Elena felt like something sounded off, but didn’t think much of it.
“As my maid, how could I let you be touched by other stinking men? You also don’t want to be touched by any other man but me, right?”
“… Right.”
“So the truth is that your chest is large all because of me, it has nothing to do with anyone else!”
“Right… hm? Wait… damn pervert! What the hell are you saying?”
Elena subconsciously went along with him and realized she had fallen into his trap again! She couldn’t help but furrow her brows and kick him, but he already anticipated it and dodged it then changed the subject.
Their reactions really made Lin Xiao suspicious. Since they were so afraid of Lin Xiao going inside, didn’t that mean they were hiding some big secret inside?
