Lin Xiao was dumbfounded. He didnt know what to expect when Abra started acting all secretive, but it was just for this?
The person who was in the lilight earlier was Yao Zi, so why is Abra trying to get him to join.
Did this old mans brain short circuit?
Cough dont look at like that, Im not kidding. Abra cleared his throat with a serious expression.
He wasnt being an idiot, he only did this after careful consideration.
Yao Zi was the possessor of the wizards bloodline and she was indeed strong, but there was soone who was clearly even stronger, Lin Xiao!
Although everyone was captivated by Yao Zi and Lin Xiao was just a spectator the entire ti, even the two girls next to him were more eye-catching, but Abra had been secretly listening in this entire ti and noticed an important secret!
Earlier, when Lin Xiao was giving Yao Zi a lesson on magic, talking about all kinds of magic theories that Abra couldnt understand. He had an attitude like he was lecturing a student that did sothing wrong.
What kind of joke is that? Yao Zi had the wizards bloodline, but she needed soone to teach her?
Just based on the fact that she could imitate Archers sixth-level magic on the first try ant that she was already the strongest magician here!
But unexpectedly, faced against the strongest magician Yao Zi, Lin Xiao still had that attitude and lectured her. What was more surprising was that Yao Zi didnt complain at all and obediently received his criticism and guidance.
What did that an?
Didnt that an that Lin Xiao was Yao Zis magic teacher?
But Lin Xiao was also about 16-year-old just like Yao Zi, so how could he be her teacher?
Although Abra didnt know the answer to that, it didnt stop him from forming a conclusion that it was more worth it to recruit Lin Xiao!
What wizards bloodline? No matter how strong of a power she has, its wasted on a dumb and clumsy girl like Yao Zi. She might even harm her own teammates like with what happened earlier and beco a burden in a fight. But Lin Xiao was different, if he really had the strength to be Yao Zis teacher then chasing away the demonic beasts would be a piece of cake!
No, not just chase away perhaps this ti they can even do it with no deaths!
In order to guarantee their success, Abra decided to trust his own judgnt and try to get Lin Xiao to join.
Lin Xiao, lets cut to the chase, I really want you to join our team! Abras eyes were glowing as he looked at Lin Xiao with a gaze as fervent as Caesars.
Uh
Lin Xiao was helpless, he didnt understand when this guy got infected by Caesar.
Lin Xiao originally wanted to use Yao Zi as a scapegoat, but in the end, it still ca back to him, however its fine.
It seems like Abras attitude towards him did a 180 and it seed like he trusted him. This saves him a lot of trouble and would pave way for his own investigation.
Abra, since you said that, Ill just co right out and say it. Lin Xiao motioned for everyone to sit down. The others surrounded the table while he and Abra sat face-to-face.
Lin Xiao, go ahead, as long as you agree to join Ill compensate you however you like, as long as its sothing our alliance office has!
I dont need anything like that. Lin Xiao shook his head and then calmly promised, I will help you guys chase away the demonic beasts, Yao Zi will also participate, that I promise
Really? Youre really willing? Thats great! Lin Xiao, I just knew
Abra, dont get happy too early. Lin Xiao interrupted him.
Uh I-I understand, sorry. Abra paused then awkwardly smiled before shutting his mouth.
Even though the one sitting across from him looked like a young child, and treated him as such, then that would be a grave mistake.
During their negotiation, Lin Xiao already made a promise, but he would naturally have his own conditions, yet he got happy all by himself without even waiting for them.
But this was difficult for Abra. Under normal circumstances, who would use an adults way of thinking when chatting with a 16-year-old kid?
Abra had to remind himself that he should never underestimate Lin Xiao and make sure to be respectful so he doesnt accidentally anger him.
You dont need to be too nervous, were all investigators here. Its natural to help one another during missions, so I wont make it difficult for you. Lin Xiao smiled and dispelled Abras apprehensions.
Hm so, what conditions do you have? Whether it be money or treasures, as long as its sothing our alliance office can get their hands on, you can feel free or perhaps, I can even rank you up to B rank! How about that?
Based on what Abra knew, Lin Xiao and they just got certified so they were all the lowest rank at rank E.
That cant be helped since they havent even completed a single mission yet. In order to rank up, they have to complete missions one by one and slowly rank up by proving their strength.
Actually, if it wasnt for the dire situation in Gotham Kingdom, rank Es like them wouldnt even be able to take a mission like this.
So Abra guessed that the only thing Lin Xiao needs was to rank up.
As the manager for Nightowns alliance office, he had so authority for rank ups, and B rank was already his limit. It also required a lot of procedures and coordination and was technically violating the rules, but in order to rope Lin Xiao in, he was willing to break the rules this one ti.
But he was still wrong and didnt understand what Lin Xiao wanted.
Rank up? Uh no, no, Im good, please dont. Lin Xiao awkwardly shook his hands and rejected him.
Ranking up ant more work, so that was a no-go!
Then, what do you want?
That was already the best thing the alliance office could give, if Lin Xiao wanted anything else, he may not even be able to give it.
Cough Abra, my condition is actually very simple. Lin Xiao cleared his throat and turned to look at his teammates, then announced, I want you to push back the departure for two days.
Ah? Delaying the departure? Why?
No reason just tell if you agree or not! If you dont, then forget it.
I agree! Definitely agree! Abra responded without any hesitation.
Although he didnt understand why Lin Xiao wanted them to delay the departure, but it wasnt a difficult thing and it was within the scope of his authority so Abra could take charge.
Theres another small thing, when we set out two days from now, I hope that you can cooperate with my directions.
No problem, well listen to you! Lin Xiao, youre the leader starting from now on, Ill be the vice!
They were investigators, not officials so it didnt matter who directed or who was the leader. As long as Lin Xiao was reliable and could successfully help them chase the demonic beasts away, so what if he let the leader position to him?
Uh no, no, I dont need to be the leader, you can do that, its too troubleso. Lin Xiao shook his head in refusal, Then thats that, when we set off in two days, well help you take care of the demonic beasts.
Okay, then were counting on you! But Lin Xiao If you want to delay the departure its best to have a reason, although I can convince the others, but as for Caesar hehe, youre his friend, you understand.
Oh, I almost forgot about him. Lin Xiao slapped his head.
Even if Abra was willing, but Caesar might not be. If he heard that Lin Xiao delayed the departure, he might grab him by the collar and demand an explanation.
How about this, you just tell everyone that Yao Zis wizard bloodline is in a restless period, so she needs two days to recover, so we need to delay the departure if you say that, Caesar wouldnt object.
Restless period? Really? Abra asked skeptically.
Of course, Yao Zi is a girl in the pri of her youth. Won have several days where they dont feel comfortable every month, so they need to rest.
Sorry, I dont understand what youre saying.
Ah, its that, you know ask her yourself if you dont believe .
Lin Xiao didnt know how to explain it and looked at Yao Zi while giving her a look.
Ohhhh, right, Lin Xiao is right, I-Im indeed not feeling that good theres always those days of the month although I dont get it either oh no, no, its that ti of the month! Anyways Ill listen to him! Yao Zi held Xiao Tian while they both repeatedly nodded their heads.
Even if they dont get it, but all they had to do was nod and go along with it.
Okay then its settled.
Since Yao Zi even admitted to it, there was nothing else for Abra to say other than agree to it.
And so, Yao Zi and Lin Xiao officially joined and the departure would be delayed to two days later.
Hehe, now we finally have so free ti! Sister Ying, Elena lets go, Ill take you to eat so good food!
Under everyone elses dull gaze, Lin Xiao took the beauties and ran out the door.
What? He delayed it to have fun?
Abras expression stiffened when he heard that.
Should he have trusted him?
