Chapter 104

That night

Winterless City, Old District

A certain bar

According to Caesar, Sam's only interest was drinking. Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xiao entered the bar, he saw that dark skinned drunkard.

“Sam, h.e.l.lo, I'm Lin Xiao, you should know who I am, right?” Lin Xiao walked next to him while beaming and greeted him, not in the least bit nervous.

“It's you?” Seeing that it was Lin Xiao, Sam instantly raised his vigilance.

He didn't even go look for Lin Xiao yet, why did he come looking for him with his maid? What was he trying to do?

Was he trying to pick a fight with him?

“Sam, take it easy, I know all about what you told my maid yesterday.” Lin Xiao waved his hands to pacify him, then explained in deadpan, “I originally thought you would hara.s.s my maid, but you didn't. It seems that you're a truly responsible man, completely different than those three conceited brothers.”

Lin Xiao dished out some flattery without noticing.

“Hmph, no need for those worthless words, no matter what, I wouldn't touch an unarmed and defenseless maid.” Sam scoffed at his praise, “If you have something to say, then out with it! Otherwise, don't disturb me from drinking. Just wait, we'll settle this during the compet.i.tion tomorrow!”

“Oh, as expected of a man, I didn't misjudge you!” Lin Xiao wasn't discouraged, and continued negotiating with him, “Sam, there is something small that I came to you for today.”

“Out with it!” Saying that, Sam couldn't care less and took a large gulp of alcohol.

“Actually… I wanted to apologize to you.” Lin Xiao said something that would shock others with incomparable sincerity.

Watching his fine performance beside him, Elena sighed, and was deeply worried for Sam.

“Puh!” As expected, Sam choked on his drink and spat it all out, he thought that he was imagining it, he held back from coughing, and asked, “Ke… w-what did you just say?”

“I said, I want to apologize to you.” Lin Xiao pursed his lips and blinked his sincere eyes.

“Why?”

“For injuring the three brothers.” Lin Xiao sternly said, “Although they hara.s.sed my maid, then came looking for trouble, so getting beat up was reaping what they sow, but… I shouldn't have injured them that much. It's my bad for using too much strength, as their boss, Sam, I'm regretful for my actions.”

“Ah…” Sam wiped away the beer foam next to his mouth in a daze, looking at Lin Xiao's sincere expression, he was dumbstruck.

Aren't the magic department students too strange? Why do they even speak differently than the students from the warrior department?

Sam never would have expected Lin Xiao to apologize, not in a million years. Why did he just flip all of a sudden?

Wait… did Lin Xiao really come to apologize? Or was he coming to flaunt the fact that he was able to heavily injure the three brothers?

Sam felt like something was wrong.

Lin Xiao wasn't an idiot, he definitely didn't come today just to apologize, he must have some other motive!

“Hey, what do you really want?” Sam put down his beer mug and sternly asked, “Don't play with me!”

“Heh, I won't dare play with you, I just wanted to have a chat.” The foreplay was over, seeing that Sam was finally in the mood, Lin Xiao wanted to strike while the iron was hot and started peddling his fallacious reasoning, “Sam, I know that you want to teach me a lesson fair and square during tomorrows compet.i.tion, and possibly… you also want to heavily injure me, to vent for the three brothers, and also to get face for the warrior department students, am I right?”

“Hmph, what about it?”

As long as Sam beat Lin Xiao during the compet.i.tion, not only him, but the entire warrior department will be able to hold their head up high! And the victor, would without a doubt become adored by everyone, and the name of Hurricane Swordsman Sam would surpa.s.s Magic Swordsman Caesar!

So, Sam couldn't hold back during the compet.i.tion, he had to do his best!

“Lin Xiao, could it be you're afraid? The otakus from the magic department are all cowards as expected, isn't it just an injury, even if you break a leg, it'll heal in half a year or so, what are you afraid of?” Sam thought that Lin Xiao was planning to beg for forgiveness, and thus contemptuously ridiculed him.

“Eh…” His words make Lin Xiao's scalp crawl.

For Sam, face and honor were evidently more important than health, he didn't even care about breaking a leg. As expected of a hotblooded male, he was completely different from trash like Lin Xiao that just lazed around all day.

However, this was the response Lin Xiao was waiting for!

“Afraid? No, brother Sam, you're mistaken, I'm not worried that I'll get injured, on the contrary… I'm worried about you!” The topic changed, Lin Xiao's expression became grim and his tone carried strong anxiety.

“Worried about me?” Sam was at a loss.

What did he have to worry about?

“Yes, I'm really worried about you.” Lin Xiao shook his head with concern, “Sam, I'm thinking about if you heavily injure me during tomorrow's compet.i.tion, how would others see you?”

“Others?” Sam didn't understand.

Seeing that he was bewildered, Lin Xiao patiently explained.

This was his logic, it already wasn't a secret that Lin Xiao heavily injured the three brothers, it just hasn't been spread yet. But if Sam really heavily injured Lin Xiao tomorrow, someone might take advantage of that and start something.

Question: Why were the three brothers heavily injured by Lin Xiao? Answer: Because they hara.s.sed his maid, and brought it upon themselves.

Another question: Then why did Sam ruthlessly injure Lin Xiao during the compet.i.tion? Answer: Because Sam was in cahoots with the three brothers, and he was the one who prompted them to hara.s.s Lin Xiao's maid!

“Sam, if you injure me, even if I don't say anything, you would be suspected of settling your personal scores, then you would also be implicated with them! Could it be that you were actually the one that incited those three to hara.s.s my maid?”

Lin Xiao made a show about being earnest while saying words that made one fidget.

“You, Sam, the brother of the warrior department, a respectable virtuous person… Yet you incited your little brothers to s.e.xually hara.s.s my maid in the middle of the streets. After that was revealed, you even helped them vent and purposely injured me during the fight… Tsk tsk, Sam, if this got out, would you even have the face to come out?”

Lin Xiao beat his chest and sighed with lament, and almost squeezed out some tears.

“Gossip is a fearsome thing Sam, I'm really worried that your reputation would be destroyed!”

Lin Xiao's quick fire in succession made Sam's head spin.

“That…”, finally Sam hesitated.

What Lin Xiao said made sense. Sam never expected such a serious consequence to happen.

He didn't want to be labeled with a evil reputation of “hara.s.sing a maid”, and even more so of a head hoodlum that bullied others. He regarded himself as a upright man, how could he become a bad guy?

What should he do? Would he have to throw the match against Lin Xiao?

No way! He would definitely do his best during a compet.i.tion, that was his principle! He would never concede that point no matter what Lin Xiao said.

“Hehe, don't worry Sam, I'm not asking you to throw the match.” As if he saw through him, Lin Xiao aptly proposed his suggestion.

One that Sam had no way of refusing.

“Fight me, Sam, today, right now!”

“What did you say?”
