CH 495

The empty room was quickly filled with people! It was completely empty earlier, so it really made one question where they all came from. They weren’t guards and didn’t come to arrest Lin Xiao, they were just employees who worked too much yesterday and slept in.

Earlier, they were all just causally strolling in the yard when they heard Bacon screaming. They thought something big happened so they all rushed over to watch the show!

Since they had no work and Deborah was gone, they were all very bored.

So everyone poured into the room and were trying to figure out what was going on.

To their surprise, there really was something big going on! Who knows if it was interesting or not, but it was surely ‘big’!

“Wow, my god… how can there be a woman with such a good figure? Also… who’s that wearing high heels? She’s even wearing black stockings, it’s beautiful…”

As soon as they entered the room, everyone was captivated by the two beauties, their leers made Elena and ShenDai Ying feel uncomfortable. Lin Xiao also noticed, so he shielded them and sent them behind the front desk with Mina and then he alone walked into the center of the crowd.

When everyone saw arrogantly stand out, their topic of conversation changed.

“Hey, who’s that kid?”

“How would I know? Looks young, black hair and black eyes, probably from the Eastern tribe… strange, I’ve never seen him before.”

“Could it be some kid of a merchant who’s lost?”

“Unlikely… if it was just a kid of a normal merchant, how could he have those beautiful women with him?”

Unfortunately, even though the youth wanted to put himself forward, no one was interested in him because he was too normal!

At that time, a calm middle-aged man with a mustache glanced at the women and observed their expressions and concluded that kid was protecting them and came to a correct conclusion.

“Can you tell? Those two women are very intimate with him, that one wearing the maid outfit is surely his maid, and the other one is probably his lover.”

“What? You haven’t even asked anything and you’ve already seen through their relationship? Gerrard, arent you too amazing? As expected of the deputy manager!”

When the others heard what Gerrard had said, they instantly gave him a thumbs-up to praise him! Gerrard just humbly shook his head and didn’t mind it. Like that, everyone continued chatting, with some walking up to Mina and greeting her. Lin Xiao felt that the scene was quite funny, but someone else was infuriated!

Bacon called them here to arrest someone, not for them to chat! He was a Baron and yet his presence was even less than that normal black-haired youth as everyone in the room ignored him and pretended like he wasn’t there!

That couldn’t be helped… since everyone hated him. He always acted bossy and domineering and high and mighty, which made everyone resent him. But he had a powerful father and he himself was also a Baron so no one could do anything to him, instead, they just tried avoiding him as much as possible.

“Damn it, are any of you listening to me!?”

Bacon was angry that they were all ignoring him, so he could only find the deputy manager among them and take out his anger on him!

“Hey Gerrard! You’re the deputy manager and since Deborah isn’t here, so shouldn’t you temporarily take over her duties?”

“Yes, Baron Bacon.”

Gerrard wrinkled his brows in annoyance when he saw Bacon walk over, but he knew he coudlnt avoid it so he just smiled.

“Okay good, then you can immediately arrest this brat and throw him in prison!”

At first, he thought Bacon was joking, so he just smiled and asked, “I do have that authority, but there has to be a reason right? He doesn’t have anything on him, so it doesn’t seem like he stole anything. I can’t just arrest people indiscriminately.”

“Stealing? Hmph, he hasn’t stolen anything, but he’s done something far more serious!”

“Oh? What did he do?”

“That kid impersonated the advisor Lin Xiao to deceive us! Is that serious enough?”

“What? Impersonate Lin Xiao?”

Everyone stopped when they heard that and the room fell silent as everyone set their gaze on that black-haired youth.

One side was an infuriated Baron and the other was a mysterious unfamiliar youth… it seems like something big was going to happen!

“Cough, what’s going on?”

Gerrard cleared his throat and got serious. He first went over to Mina to ask what had happened, then came to a conclusion after getting her answer.

The problem was with Bacon… this perverted Baron probably set his eyes on the kid’s companions, so he was jealous and made a big deal out of it. After all, Bacon has done a lot of things for the sake of beautiful women. His plan was probably to throw the kid in prison and take that chance to take those women in.

Gerrard understood Bacon’s perverted thoughts with just a quick look, he didn’t want to help Bacon, but this time his accusations made some sense.

Gerrard has naturally also heard of advisor Lin Xiao, but just like Bacon, he doesn’t know what Lin Xiao looks like. Gotham Kingdom is currently plagued with problems and a traitor even appeared before, so there’s definitely a possibility of criminals impersonating people for personal gain. Since Deborah wasn’t here, as the deputy manager, he had to investigate and take care of this.

If the kid was a liar, then he would find the guards to immediately arrest him! But if he wasn’t lying, then he was also responsible to clear his name and can’t let Bacon slander him!

So Gerrard took a couple of deep breaths and walked to the center and stood across from the youth and planned to personally question him!

At this time, Bacon started sweating. ~It’s over, it’s all over, this situation has gone out of hand!

Bacon originally just planned on scaring that kid with Gerrard to get him to back off and to flaunt his might as a Baron, then he would go to flirt with those beautiful women. Who knew that things would get out of hand and become a trial? Also, that kid didn’t look scared at all, which made him very nervous.

Could he really be Lin Xiao, and that’s why he’s acting so calmly?

I-impossible! How could there be that much of a coincidence? Lin Xiao was a big shot, why would he be coming to such a remote supply station? He’s surely pretending.

Thinking about that, Bacon glared at Lin Xiao and tried to pressure him to reveal himself! Buy Lin Xiao still looked sleepy and couldn’t feel his gaze at all.

“You said that you’re princess Claire’s advisor, Lin Xiao?” Gerrard cleared his throat and began questioning him.

“I am Lin Xiao, but I’m not that tomboy’s advisor, I already resigned.”

“Hah? Tomboy? You’re not talking about princess Claire are you… you dare!?”

Just as Gerrard was about to rebuke him for his insolence, he stopped and thought about it. If he was really Lin Xiao and if those rumors were true, then as princess Claire’s future husband, was there a problem with how they called each other?

Gerrard became more curious with his identity and continued asking.

“Okay, since you say you’re Lin Xiao, then you should have some corresponding proof, right?”

“How? I may be Lin Xiao, but it’s not carved into my ass, so I can’t take off my pants to show you.”

“Uh… your comparison may be vulgar, but that makes sense.” Gerrard smiled and also knew his question was funny, so he asked a different one.

“But, you said it was princess Claire who sent you here for Deborah, then the princess surely would have given you a token to prove your identity.”

“A token? Oh, now that you mention it, I do have something like that.”

Lin Xiao slapped his forehead and remembered the golden plate that Claire gave him before he left.

“That’s the token? … Okay, give it to me.”

“No! That tomboy said this was extremely important, so I can only let you take a look.”

“… Okay, then I’ll just take a look.”

Gerrard didn’t know what could be so important that he could only look, but he endured it and bent down to take a good look at the thing Lin Xiao was holding.

At first, he didn’t notice much, but as time passed, the more startled he became until he couldn’t help but cry out!

“My Goddess! … Could this be Gotham’s Dragon!?”
