Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 415: –The Hand that Won’t Let Go

Chapter 415: –The Hand that Won’t Let Go

As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow shot from a hidden place.

When fighting against those sneaky bastards, it was hard even for Lin Xiao to make sure he can catch everyone.

No matter how powerful the warrior is, how can they constantly monitor their own backs?

You can even imagine what kind of vicious assassinations are waiting for him. Lin Xiao suspected that they wont easily let him bring the core back and the road back is probably filled with ambushes.

But no matter how dangerous it is, he still had to go for it. He promised Elena that he would get to the bottom of the enlightenment society and their schemes, so how could he retreat here?

Not only could he not retreat, but he also had to take advantage of this opportunity to test them.

Since they want to take the core, then he really wanted to see if they had the ability to do so or not!

He already thought of a way to entice the enemy, he would keep a high profile on the way back and spread information regarding the black core to lure them in.

Last time he wasnt prepared enough and allowed Darkness to kill himself, he wouldnt make the same mistake again and will make sure to prepare proper traps.

That was one of the reasons for why he couldnt give the black core to Snow, the second reason was more straightforward.

He didnt want anything to happen to her.

If he handed it over to Snow, then she will become the target. The people from the church couldnt be trusted, they may look obedient, but who knows if any of them are spies. Snow was still a blind child, so it was hard for her to deal with being ambushed and Elona alone wasnt enough to protect her.

So you wont give the black core to me?

Snow didnt know what Lin Xiao was thinking, but his silence caused her attitude to worsen.

Sorry.

Brother, you know that Im capable of doing anything when Im angry! Snow pushed Elona aside and followed his voice to walk in front of him, Ive been helping you keep the demon kings secret all this time.

Are you threatening me?

No, Im just curious about what you would do if I exposed Elenas identity right now?

Expose her?

Hehe, do you not believe me? Saintess uncovers heretic, investigators united against demon king, how does that headline sound? I just dont know what side youll take when the fight starts?

Lin Xiao had a grave expression as he looked at Snows sinister smile.

If this little devil said it, then she could definitely do it! What should he do if she exposed Elenas identity?

Hes never thought about it. Hes always been messing around with her, there were times they quarreled and also happy times, and after long, he already forgot that they were two people standing on two completely opposite sides.

She wasnt his maid, but the demon king! Even if she was willing to be his maid, if ever her identity would be exposed, they would become enemies.

This instant realization made him lose his concentration.

He turned to look at Elena and saw that she also fell into a brief daze.

Noticing his gaze, she purposely looked away. Her indifferent attitude was as if she was saying it doesnt matter what he chose.

Lin Xiao bitterly smiled and just waved toward her. She quickly understood and walked over.

Snow, do whatever it is you need to do, I just know that Elena is my maid and I will stand by her side. Saying that, he held Elenas hand and pulled her towards him.

Although he didnt know what the consequences of doing so would be, but he had to follow his heart.

How could he let such a good maid go? Hes going to be angry with whoever tries to take her away, even if it was Snow!

That was how simple his thought process was.

Brother, so youre saying that if I fought with Elena, you would help her and wouldnt help me?

Snow, dont force me, you know how much I hate being threatened.

Brother!!!

Snow finally exploded after those heartless words and tried to rush over and tear off Elenas breasts, but she was stopped and picked up by Elona. She frantically flailed her limbs around like an angry puppy.

Master c-calm down.

Ahhh! I knew it! This stinking heartless perverted brother forgets about his sister once he got his maid! I should have cut her face up, stomped her breasts, amputated her, and then sent her over! Lets see how shell be your maid then!

Uh do you have to go that far?

Lin Xiao didnt know how to console Snow.

On the other hand, Elena was ungrateful regarding his choice and wanted to push him away and draw clear boundaries, but he had his fingers tightly locked around hers.

This pervert is saying nonsense again, what does he mean hell stand by her side because shes his maid?

Elena was sick of his presumptuousness, it was like she really wanted to be his maid or something. If they really had a falling out, then she would finish him off first!

Although she was thinking like that, she never forcefully shook his hand away, rather she subconsciously tightened her fingers like she was worried that he would let go. Even she herself couldnt understand those strange actions and her cheeks flushed slightly.

If Snow could see Elenas vulgar appearance, she would definitely immediately start a fight with her! Thankfully Snow couldnt see and after cursing and venting for a while, she naturally calmed down.

It couldnt be helped, he could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force, that was just how he was. If she threatened him, then both sides would lose and Snow didnt want to have a falling out with her brother so she could only drop it.

But Snow wasnt just willing to let the black core go.

Thinking about it, she suddenly remembered something!

Okay then, I wont force you then how about we make a deal.

A deal?

Hm, as long as you give the black core to me, then Ill give you something good in exchange.

What kind of good thing?

This brat was a genuine little devil, just a second ago she was still cursing him and wanting to die together, but now she was cheerfully talking about a deal. She was a king of changing faces, even Lin Xiao as her brother couldnt see through her temper.
