CH 493

Bacon was startled when he heard the voice and as he never expected anyone to come today. He also stopped moving his hand that he reached out.

How annoying, didn’t they come at the worst time? He was almost about to touch Mina’s rotund butt, but the voice stopped him. Though he may be a Baron, he wasn’t sure who that voice belonged to and if it were some merchant that took this chance to spread rumors, it would be a pain.

So Bacon just withdrew his hand and walked out from the front desk and pretended nothing happened as he looked towards the door to see who it was.

On the other hand, Mina was on the verge of crying out of relief! Thankfully that person’s voice interrupted Bacon, otherwise, she might have to resort to punching him! If that happened, she may not be bullied by Bacon anymore, but nothing good will come of it.

But that guest had no idea what was happening as he walked in with a confused expression and looked at Mina and Bacon.

“What were you guys doing?”

“Hmph, who are you? Is it any of your business?”

Bacon realized that it was just some young brat with a head of black hair, probably from some far eastern tribe. He was guessing that he was the child of some merchant that came here for supplies, so he looked down on him and didn’t even bother with him. He then turned to Mina and spoke, “Mina, guests are here, you better receive them properly!”

“Oh…”

Mina bit her lips and still hadn’t fully recovered yet as she weakly responded. Bacon still wasn’t satisfied and quietly threatened her before leaving.

“Don’t think this is over, after he’s gone, you’ll still have to accompany me!”

“Baron Bacon, please stop bothering me…”

“Bothering? I’m already being polite, don’t force my hand, otherwise, I won’t be so nice… hmph, just wait for it!”

Bacon snorted and then ignored them to go and sit down next to the window like he was planning to wait it out!

Though she wasn’t in danger at the moment, Bacon’s threat at the end made Mina tremble. Mina sighed and didn’t know what to do, but for now, she first focused on the guests.

“Sorry, that’s Baron Bacon, I apologize if he offended you.”

“A Baron at such a young age? Hm, no wonder…”

The black-haired youth saw Mina’s flushed face and her clenched fists and immediately guessed what had happened, but he didn’t say anything and just waved his hands.

“It’s fine, I don’t mind… so, are you the receptionist? You look like a newbie.”

“Uh…. n-newbie?”

Mina never expected this kid who looked around fifteen or sixteen to see right through her, so she couldn’t help but try and change the subject.

“Cough, anyway, please register!”

“Register? Okay, what do I need to register?”

“First your identity… are you a merchant? If so, our delivery day was yesterday, so the types of orders we can make right now are limited.”

It might be Mina’s first time on this job, but her words were professional and one could tell that she was practiced, but the youth blankly shook his head and responded, “No, I’m not a merchant.”

“Oh, then you must be from logistics? Is the front line lacking supplies and needing an immediate dispatch? No problem, just provide me with the orders stamped with an official seal and I’ll do it immediately!”

“Logistics? No, I’m not from logistics.”

“Not a merchant, and not from logistics… then who are you?” Mina was confused and awkwardly asked.

“Uh, I’m just a normal person.” The youth was also confused and awkwardly responded.

“Normal person? Uh…”

Mina was caught unprepared and unsure of what to do when two beauties suddenly walked in. They seemed to be with the black-haired youth as they walked next to him, then they glanced at Mina and understood what was going on.

“I was wondering why he was walking so quickly, so it was because he saw a beauty… pervert.”

The one who spoke first was an unrivaled beauty who used her clear and ethereal voice to insult him, but it didn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable, rather, it was comforting.

Then a beauty wearing high heels and black stockings continued to ridicule him.

“Hehe, I know, after seeing the beauty he couldn’t even answer her question, how dumb!”

“Hey! Are you two trying to revolt… didn’t we agree to not embarrass me in public, we can talk about the rest after we get back!” The youth awkwardly touched his nose and suppressed his voice as he persuaded them.

The two beauties looked at each other and came to an agreement and stopped talking. They just stood next to him like his wives and that happy feeling of love was enough to suffocate Mina!

Mina wanted to get back on topic and quickly register him, but she couldn’t help but look at the two women and was shocked!

Dear God… aren’t these two way too beautiful?

Rather than the youth, Mina was much more interested in them! This was the first time seeing such beautiful women, and two of them at that!

They were two completely opposite types, one was ice cold and the other was fiery hot, the only commonality was that they were both captivating and stood intimately next to the youth. But who was the first wife and who was the second… Wait… why did they have to be his wives? That may not even be the case.

Bacon who was waiting for Mina was also captivated by them and was almost drooling!

He was regretful as only now he understood what true beauty was after seeing these two! In comparison, Mina was just a village girl, he couldn’t believe that he was actually interested in her!

“Cough… hey, miss receptionist? Are you okay? Hello?”

After calling a couple of times, Mina finally came back to her senses. She calmed down and returned to the original topic.

“So… who are you, why did you come here?”

“I’m Lin Xiao, I came here for your manager Deborah. I wanted to ask her for something called the sacred crystal fruit.”

“Scared crystal fruit? I’m not sure if we have something like that, you would have to ask her yourself.”

“Then where is she?”

“She left early today, it might be a while before she comes back.”

“How unlucky… then I’ll wait for her.”

“Okay Lin Xiao, then please have a seat, I… hm? Wait a second!!! Did you just say… you’re Lin Xiao?”

“Yes.”

“Are you really Lin Xiao? That advisor Lin Xiao that princess Claire highly values!?”

“Uh… that should be now. But I’m already not her advisor anymore.” Lin Xiao scratched his head and was a bit embarrassed.

“My god! … Y-you’re that legendary Lin Xiao!?”

When she got his confirmation, it was like she was struck by lightning. Bacon also stood up with a grave expression!

That Lin Xiao really came to this remote supply station!?
