Chapter 377: How Could You be Lin Xiao?

Chapter 377: How Could You be Lin Xiao?

That voice should belong to a female, but it was also low and slightly masculine and sounded a bit strange. But everyone shook when they heard that voice and the entire place fell dead silent as they all looked towards where that voice came from.

Who is it? Lin Xiao muttered.

Based on their reactions, it must be someone important, combined with the information from before, it was probably that famous Leopard queen, Claire, right?

As expected when she walked out of the room, the crowd parted for her and made a path straight towards Lin Xiao.

Claire stopped when she saw Lin Xiao and the others and couldnt guess who these five youths were. Lin Xiao was also similarly stunned when he saw Claire.

When he heard from ShenDai Ying that her nickname was Leopard Queen, he had thought it was because she was a rough and uncouth tomboy, but now after seeing her, his impression completely changed.

A well-proportioned figure and a head of pale blonde hair draped behind her shoulder. Her beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes were eye-catching. Although she wore a tight-fitting top for fighting that looked plain, her black super short miniskirt was quite seductive.

Thats right, shes Claire.

Noticing Lin Xiaos gaze, ShenDai Ying explained next to him, but her pouting mouth showed her inner jealousy.

If it was just based on figures, Claire definitely wasnt as good as her. Her legs werent as long and her chest wasnt as big. But Claire had her own charms.

A super short skirt, large white legs, and that faintly discernible unlike ShenDai Yings slenderness, Claires body was more healthy, her arms and legs that carried muscle wasnt as delicate, but carried more power.

Other than that, more importantly

More importantly

Im a straight male, and that shouldnt change, s-so shes a girl, right!?

Lin Xiao felt his heart beating as he looked at her handsome appearance.

Hes not dreaming, right?

How could there be a girl that looks this handsome? Its not scientific!

Not just Lin Xiao, even ShenDai Ying was slightly moved.

Uh actually, its also my first time seeing her, she should be.

Not just the two men, but Yao Zi and ShenDai Ying were also stunned, it was only Elena who could maintain her cool composure, the noble her didnt care about what human insects looked like.

No matter how they looked, they couldnt compare to her Demon Gods body, in other words, no one was as beautiful as her.

Hey, Lin Xiao, w-why does she remind me of someone. After finally coming back to her senses, ShenDai Ying quietly whispered to Lin Xiao.

I feel the same youre talking about him, right?

Right, him! Wait! My god, it cant be him, right?

Normally a stupid thought like that would be treated as a joke, but now they were seriously considering that as a possibility

Of course, they were referring to Caesar!

This person couldnt be Caesar in female clothing, right!?

A similar blonde hair, similar handsome appearance, and his righteous spirit and majestic aura, even if it wasnt Caesar, it was surely his long-lost sister or the female version of him from a parallel world!

On one side, Lin Xiao and ShenDai Ying were just staring at Claire and even though they havent communicated, they already had a favorable impression of her in advance. On the other side, noticing their foolish gaze, Claires impression of them took a big hit.

What are you fighting about?

She didnt question them directly and instead chose to ask the manger.

Princess Claire, theyre investigators and just registered to join the team and are now trying to leave alone. We were preventing them from leaving and thats how we started fighting

Hm?

After hearing what he said, Claires face went dark as she swept her eyes past these five youths.

I already said earlier, any investigators come under my command and not do anything unauthorized without my orders! Caesars team didnt listen to orders and rashly entered into the plague zone and now I have to save them are you guys also trying to cause trouble for me?

While she was speaking, Claire walked in front of Lin Xiao and stared into his eyes and sternly asked.

No, its not like that. Lin Xiao shook his head and chose to reason with her.

She was still the highest ranking commander here, so it would be best if they could peacefully resolve it. Also along with their favorable impression of Claire and her resemblance to Caesar, so Lin Xiao had a good feeling towards her and wanted to be friends.

We are investigators but we arent soldiers for Gotham kingdom, we are only directly accountable to the four kingdom alliance, so in theory we only need to cooperate with your arrangement and dont have to listen to your orders in other words, you dont have authority over us. Lin Xiaos words were neither obsequious nor supercilious, and were reasonable. Normal people wouldnt have made things more difficult, but alas, no one he came across would be normal.

Dont forget, the reason she was called leopard queen was because of her stubborn personality

No authority? Hmph, Im the highest ranking commander here, in order to guarantee the success rates of the operation, I have to ensure that everyone is following my orders if you arent willing to do that, then I can immediately deport you! Claire didnt back down at all and even aggressively stared at him and wanted to pressure him.

Uh

If his previous favorability towards Claire was 80, then it was now dropped to 60.

Claire, I recognize you as the highest ranking commander, but with the current situation, its impossible for you to directly command everything, improvisation is the best choice and thats also the reason the alliance trains investigators not to be your private army. Lin Xiao continued and hid hints in his words, hoping that Claire could understand his warning.

So youre accusing me of overstepping my authority?

No, I just wanted to say that teams moving individually wont necessarily cause trouble, sometimes they might play an unexpected role.

So youre questioning my command capabilities?

Tsk do you not understand English, woman? Her misinterpretations and counter-questioning really irked him.

It was the first time meeting such an obstinate woman, although a qualified commander should maintain authority, but not to the extent of being as rigid as Claire but he has to say, she was really like a female version of Caesar, her stubbornness was just like him.

His favorability already greatly decreased to 40, from friendly to dislike.

Forget it, I cant be bothered anymore Ill just make this clear, Caesar is my good friend and I have to go save him, so just leave it to me!

Leaving that behind, Lin Xiao turned to leave but was blocked again, if it wasnt for ShenDai Ying pulling him back, he would have already fought his way out!

Wait! You just said Caesar is your friend?

Is there a problem with that?

So that means youre also from Lombard Kingdom?

So what if I am?

Oh?

Claire looked at Lin Xiao and them and pondered. She suddenly remembered the special investigation team that Abra recommended to her before. They just came from Lombard Kingdom, theyre Caesars friends, and they just arrived today. These all seem to be consistent with the special investigation team.

Could they be the special investigation team that Abra praised so much?

So is he Lin Xiao?

Hey, wait whats your name?

Hmph, cut the crap and get your dogs to scram, otherwise dont blame me for not holding back! Lin Xiao pointed to the fools blocking the way and lost his remaining patience.

Lin Xiao has never blew up like this before, so Claire was quite capable for angering him like that.

Quite a temper manager, whats his name?

Princess Claire, theyre all E-rank investigators, our records dont have any information on them.

E-rank? Heh, then its not them. Hearing his report, Claire scoffed and shook her head in ridicule.

As it should be.

How can such an insolent and boorish E-rank investigator be Lin Xiao?
