Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 172: Slaughtering Pigs

Lin Xiao, what are you doing!? Caesar instantly exploded in anger.

This was the second time Lin Xiao has interrupted him while he was getting ready to use undulating sword, he felt very uncomfortable, like trying to sneeze but couldnt. Luckily, he has precise control over his power, if it was someone else, they wouldve already died because of Lin Xiao.

Dont worry, were not fighting them. Lin Xiao patted his shoulders to comfort him.

What kind of joke is that? Lin Xiao, are you scared? You coward! You can leave by yourself if youre scared, I wont run!

Ah, just calm down. Lin Xiao didnt bother explaining to him, So be it, but dont forget, Im the leader right now! You have to listen to me, regardless of if were fighting or running!

You! I

What you, I, what youre not listening to the leader? I never thought you would be an arrogant fool with no discipline, you disappoint me!

You

Caesar glared at him, but he couldnt outspeak him, and endured the urge to cut him down right then and there.

But it was as he said, since everyone agreed on Lin Xiao to be the leader, obeying orders was common sense. If everyone fought for themselves, no matter how strong he was, he could never take the championship alone.

Okay! Whatever, then we wont fight, so lets quickly run away with our tails between our legs! Leader Lin Xiao, can you please tell us where we should escape to? Do you need me to bring up the rear? Dont worry, Ill protect your butt, I wont let them poke it with a long spear.

Uh Caesar, when did you learn from Elena? How venomous.

Lin Xiaos face darkened, just imagining the scene of his dark golden spear poking his ass already made it hurt.

Damn, what the hell is Caesar thinking about?

Wu Lin Xiao, are we really running? Shen DaiYing worriedly asked.

Wouldnt running be too humiliating? Although she understands Lin Xiaos plans to conserve energy, wouldnt it be too cowardly?

She hoped that Lin Xiao wasnt a cowardly man.

Run? Who said I was running? Lin Xiao blinked and innocently asked.

Eh? If were not running, and were not fighting, then what do you plan to do? Shen DaiYing breathed a sigh of relief after obtaining an answer. She let go of her sword and waited for his orders.

Sister Ying, I also dont know what to do next. Lin Xiao awkwardly responded.

Ah? Y-you dont know?

Thats right, but I came to the conclusion that they wont attack us. Lin Xiao raised his hand and pointed at Charles, As for what that cute missy is planning, then we should ask him directly.

Shen DaiYing looked back in confusion, then saw Charles smiling and nodding at them, agreeing with Lin Xiao.

Hes right, I dont plan on attacking you guys, and hope that we can have a chat, also missy is interesting, I like it, hehe.

A chat? Shen DaiYing was completely confused.

What was going on?

On Despair Island, mutual slaughter and plundering points were common sense, wanting to have a chat it was like a fantasy! You can only have a good chat after snatching their crystal, right!

What was more strange was that Lin Xiao already anticipated their plans, how? Did Lin Xiao know how to read minds?

Youre Lin Xiao, right?

Yes.

Are you the leader? I thought it would be Caesar for sure.

Heh, what, do I not look like the leader?

Yes, you dont. Charles responded unhesitatingly, How were you sure that we wouldnt attack you? A blind guess, isnt that too naive?

Although he didnt want to admit it, but Lin Xiao was indeed right, he didnt plan to fight Loran Academy here.

Obviously, Lin Xiao saw through him.

Why?

Hah? Youre asking me why, isnt that obvious? Youre very weak, right?

Charles was stunned, he blinked his beautiful large eyes to conceal his awkwardness, Lets say I am, what does that have to do with anything?

Of course it does.

Since they didnt have any intention of fighting, Lin Xiao was at ease, and started explaining without worry.

Like the proverbs say, If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. After he was selected as leader, he went to Rosie to ask about information regarding the strong teams, which included Charles.

Although he only wanted to be leader to slack off, he at least wanted to make sure that he wouldnt die, so he still had to do his homework.

Firstly, they neednt worry about Cato Academys tricks, with Elenas radar, they didnt have to worry about ambushes. He just didnt know whether they had any other treacherous tricks other than ambush

As for the traditional Water Academy, they had no choice but to go head-on, at that time Lin Xiao planned to fight as well to conserve party battle strength.

As for Heino Academy, that was more complicated

Heino Academys leader was Charles, he was interesting. Although he was heir apparent, he was never satisfied, and never relaxed on his training. It was just a pity that he wasnt naturally gifted, he was already 18 but only just broke through the fourth-level, he was even worse than Rosie. Strictly speaking, he didnt even have the qualifications to participate.

But half a year ago, he himself wanted to participate, and thats how he got here.

Although Charles is weak, but all the other three within his team were experts, they were all advanced fifth-level warriors like Caesar! Devoru, was even higher, at the sixth-level, no one else could outmatch him in level!

Of course, that didnt include Lin Xiao, who was almost through to the seventh-level

Although it can be said that since Caesar is a magic swordsman, being out leveled a bit wouldnt matter, but his strength couldnt be looked down on!

We have Caesar, and you have Devoru, neither would come out unscathed in a head-on fight, so this fight is not worth it for you.

Perhaps, but what if I just wanted to fight?

No, you wont, youre not a warlike idiot like Caesar.

Lin Xiao, you!

Caesar, please calm down. Lin Xiao patted his shoulders again, In her eyes, were just tools that can help him accumulate points like moving points.

Moving points? Caesar pushed Lin Xiao away, and looked at him then at the calm Charles.

Lin Xiaos speculation went like this

To Charles, every team on the island were workers to help them gather silver leaf fruits, no matter how many points they gathered, they would have to hand it all over in the end, because they were the strongest.

As for Loran Academy, they were one of the more competent groups.

As time went on, Loran Academy would surely defeat more teams, not only could they gather fruits, they could also get rid of all the small fry, considerably reducing the amount of work they would have to do.

In the end, when Loran Academy gathered enough points, when the pig was fat enough, thats when it would be worth it to slaughter them.

Pig? Hmph, we still dont know whos the pig and whos the butcher!

According to Lin Xiao, Charles saw them as the pig, but how was Charles not the pig? It still wasnt certain who would be the butcher in the end!

Hmm, sound logic, and a calm analysis, as expected of the leader. Charles nodded his head, and confirmed Lin Xiaos hypothesis, It seems that old man Woos knew that Caesar was simple-minded, so he sent you to bind him, right?

Alright enough of the crap so, what do you want with us? Do you want to make a deal?

Oh? You were even able to guess that we wanted a deal? Charles raised his eyebrows and a flash of surprise colored his face.

Lin Xiaos analysis earlier was fundamentals as the leader, but now Charles really saw him in another light.

How was he able to guess that he wanted to make a deal? Was it because of the ambush?

Yes.

If Charles only treated them as pigs that collected fruits, then he should have left as soon as they were noticed, but he showed himself and said a lot of crap, so he must have wanted something.

This Lin Xiao is pretty interesting, it looks like he underestimated him.

Charles cleared his throat and finally began talking business.

Youre right, I wanted to make a deal with you guys.

Saying that he fished out a map from his clothes.

Actually, I know where the silver vault is.
