CH 471

Barrett was delighted and shocked when the rain of blood came.

He was delighted that Hardy’s assassination failed and he died on the spot! His corpse wasn’t even left and princess Claire wasn’t injured so Barrett didn’t have to worry anymore!

What he was shocked at was Lin Xiao’s terrifying power!

It wasn’t just Barrett, everyone else was shaken as well! It was the first time they have seen such a gorgeous starry river, more importantly, Lin Xiao wasn’t even able to see anything and he was fighting while blind!

Even so, Lin Xiao was still able to defeat Hardy! Even the guards were dumbfounded and didn’t know whether they should go in or not. They originally came to arrest Hardy, but now they had nothing to do!

Amazing! Who was he? How was he so strong?

“That was seventh-level magic, right? My god, amazing! He can cast seventh-level magic!?”

Everyone started quietly discussing, but it was foolish to Barrett. They could only tell it was seventh-level magic and on top of being so young that’s why they found it amazing, but Barrett saw far more.

Using magic crystals to detect the positioning of the enemy, then instant multi-casting mystic bullets, along with precisely controlling them…

This expertise and experience was like it was cast by a hundred-year-old magician! He almost thought it was some god who descended to give them a magic show! But Lin Xiao was just a youth, how he be that strong? Not just strong, he was also mature and clever, when he thought about that, Barrett couldn’t help but shudder! Was he actually right? Was some legendary god re-birthed and descended onto this child’s body to save their country?

Goddess!

It seems like Gotham Kingdom isn’t meant to go extinct!

Currently, Barrett was praying and thanking the Goddess.

Undoubtedly, Lin Xiao was their savior! With Lin Xiao here, the rebels, the plague, none of them were worth mentioning!

Barrett was delighted and the more he looked at Lin Xiao the more handsome he looked! Thankfully Barrett didn’t have any daughters, otherwise, he would have immediately engaged them to Lin Xiao to force him to stay!

But… even if someone were to do that, it wouldn’t be Barrett’s daughters, since the king’s representative already personally stepped up.

While Barrett was lost in his delusions, the others already recovered and quickly ran over to help Claire and Lin Xiao up.

“Princess, are you okay?”

Faced with everyone’s concern, Claire appeared awkward and was blushing, and Lin Xiao was glancing at the seats behind like he was concerned about the two over there…

Their appearances were confusing to the others. Normally they should be happy after surviving that, so why were they acting so strangely?

“Princess, what’s wrong?”

“I-I’m fine…” Claire waved her hands then gently licked her lips and glanced at Lin Xiao!

This damn tomboy! He saved her, and she took advantage of him, how wicked!

Though Lin Xiao was still kind of fond of it.

Unlike other women, Claire had a temperament of a man and Lin Xiao always saw her as a friend and never had that divide between man and woman, so their relationship could get more personal than that of a man and woman.

It’s like if you had a friend since childhood, you two fought together, skipped school together and you treated them like a brother but one day you accidentally kissed her and found out that they weren’t a man but a beautiful woman!

It was an indescribable feeling that left Lin Xiao numb.

As for Claire, her feelings were even more complicated… she, who never saw herself as a woman, never expected that she would go that frantic when she opened that gate, she felt humiliated!

So what should she do next?

Should she follow along with that atmosphere and confess to Lin Xiao?

No, what if he rejects it? He already has two women with him.

But, but…

After Claire made up her mind and wanted to say something to Lin Xiao, she realized she was already surrounded by her subordinates, so she had to watch what she said.

She was currently the king’s representative not a girl who just awakened in love, so she had to suppress those words.

Claire calmed down and then began working to take care of the aftermath.

Although Hardy was dead, the matter with him communication with the rebels haven’t been resolved yet, and his cohorts and whatever else he did need to be further investigated. The good thing was that Barrett and Taike already shook hands and made up so that both sides could work together to not give any opportunities to the traitors.

More interestingly, when taking care of the bloodstains in the meeting room, everyone was once again shocked at Lin Xiao’s abilities and in order to praise him, Lin Xiao specifically told everyone about everything they didn’t notice which lead to Lin Xiao being treated as a savior!

But Lin Xiao just waved away their praise because he felt like he didn’t do good enough! He felt like if he had been more precise in his control, he could have caught Hardy alive, so not being able to stop was his mistake.

While everyone was noisily taking care of the aftermath, two people were slowly losing control of their emotions.

“Hehe did you see that? Lin Xiao is amazing.”

“Hmph, the pervert who only thinks with his lower half, how?”

“Look, he won everyone’s respect and the grand marshall became his fanboy, and he even took the opportunity to attack the king’s representative… tsk, tsk, amazing!”

“Are you jealous? ShenDai Ying, it’s not like you never kissed him, why are you jealous?”

“Jealous? No, I-I’m not jealous.”

“Then why are you clutching the hilt of your sword, who do you want to kill?”

“No, I’m not! It was just instinctive… tsk, you see it as a joke huh, then Elena, what about you?”

“Me?”

“If I’m right, you have never done anything like that with him, right?”

“Tsk… disgusting.” Strange… was doing something like that something to show off?

Also, Elena was confident in herself, with how much Lin Xiao liked her, he would definitely agree to everything she would want.

So it seems like she’s better than ShenDai Ying in that aspect!

Wait, why did it come to Elena showing off strange things?

“I’m not jealous of you, and neither am I jealous of Claire.”

“Really? But, are you not afraid of Claire stealing Lin Xiao away?”

“Don’t worry, he wouldn’t leave with Claire.”

“Hm? Why?”
