Chapter 288 – Get my Sword, I’ll Cut Her Down!

“…”

Elena didn’t respond, but she was enraged.

“It seems like it’s true… what a joke, doesn’t he know that ShenDai Ying is Prince Caesar’s fiancée? Even without the engagement, ShenDai Ying would obviously choose Caesar and not trash like him. He’s just a fool that doesn’t know his own place.”

“What?”

Hearing Evelyn ridicule Lin Xiao without holding back, Elena frowned and wanted to retort, but she couldn’t say anything because she wasn’t good with words.

Why is this woman talking about Lin Xiao like that, did he offend her in any way?

“Heh, what, do you want to speak up for your master?” When Evelyn saw her get angry, she disdainfully shook her head, “I almost forgot that you two had a very good relationship… Elena, you like being with your master the most, right?”

“Hah? W-what are you trying to say?”

“Nothing, I’m just thinking, Lin Xiao is also a man. With a maid as beautiful as yourself accompanying him day and night, serving him left and right, it mush be hard to hold back… hehe, after becoming lost in lust, even the most powerful man would lose their motivation and become trash, besides, he didn’t have much in the first place.”

“You, you!”

Elena’s face flushed red with anger.

It was true that Lin Xiao was trash without any motivation, but… Elena always felt like she went overboard when saying it, he clearly has so many strong points, how could she degrade him to nothing?

“You, you don’t understand anything, why are you insulting him? Who do you think you are?”

“Eh? You don’t recognize me?” Evelyn coldly snorted and slowly replied, “I’m hero Greenton’s helper, the reserve hero, Evelyn.”

“Reserve hero?”

Elena suddenly lost focus and remembered something from before.

Lin Xiao once said that his dream was to become the reserve hero, and the woman called Evelyn in front of her was just that…

Evelyn appeared to be around 30 years old with long dark brown hair and a sharp chin. She was unquestionably a beauty, but also appeared stern, whether it was her raised eyes or forceful tone, it made people uncomfortable as her aura was extremely sharp.

This reserve hero was completely different to the image that Lin Xiao had.

“Hmph, it seems like you’re a maid that doesn’t know anything. Forget it, there’s no point in telling you any of this.”

When Evelyn saw Elena blanking out, she thought she was scared witless, so she didn’t bother with her anymore and turned back to walk towards the drunk hero, while muttering her complaints.

Perhaps Evelyn said that for Elena to hear, or it was for that useless drunkard. Anyways, she walked next to Greenton and used her power to support a warrior several times larger than her and walked back.

Perhaps Greenton was right, only that Caesar can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities, everyone else was too lacking!

Actually, Evelyn wasn’t targeting Lin Xiao, she just heard some things from other people and got angry,

If everyone was as motivated and hardworking as Caesar, then Greenton wouldn’t have to risk his life to be some bullshit hero and work himself to the bone for those old nobles of the Four Kingdom Alliance.

“Go back to your useless master.”

Evelyn carried the unconscious Greenton and passed by Elena. She disdainfully glanced at Elena and faintly spoke.

“Oh right, your master still hasn’t been certified after getting the alliance investigator badge, right? I see that he’s not just useless, but also a coward.”

“No, h-he’s just too lazy!” Elena stammered in response.

Lin Xiao wasn’t a coward, if it was for someone he cared about, he wouldn’t back down no matter how strong the enemy was! The only reason he hasn’t done it yet was because he’s lazy!

Out of character, Elena made excuses for that pervert.

“Lazy? Hmph, okay then.” Evelyn slowed down and spoke without looking back, “There’s been an S-grade investigation mission that’s been posted and is lacking people, if your master is interested, he can take a look… but even if he goes, he wouldn’t be of much help.”

“Evelyn, w-who are you talking to? Hic~”

As she spoke, Greenton who she was carrying on her shoulders burped and discovered Elena. He sniffed around with his red nose and instantly widened his eyes as he cried out while lying on Evelyn’s back.

“Hey, you stinking cat, how dare you glare at me like that? You dare look down on humans! Evelyn, fetch my sword, I’m going to cut her down!”

“Eh?”

Eleana’s heart contacted and started sweating when she hear that.

No matter how drunk he was, he was still the strongest hero, how could he not see through her disguise?

If Greenton acted here, she wouldn’t be able to resist and would be instakilled!

What should she do?

“Fool, you already lost your sword! How many times do I have to tell you before you face reality.” At that time, Evelyn interrupted him, “She’s Lin Xiao’s maid, not a demon. You’re way too drunk.”

“Not a demon? No, impossible, she’s a demon! I already smell the stink of a cat! Evelyn, get my sword, let me cut her down!”

“I already said that you lost your sword!”

“Hic, I don’t care… let me use my most powerful sure-kill technique to finish off that stinking cat! I…”

“Fool! Just… settle down!”

Bang!

Evelyn clenched her fist and smacked it directly onto his face and he collapsed motionlessly.

Evelyn was probably the only person in the world who dared to treat the hero like that.

She knocked Greenton out with one punch, then she shook her head and sighed. She ignored the nervous Elena and slowly disappeared while carrying Greenton.

As the sun set to the west, darkness descended, and Elena who was dazing out suddenly felt the chilly evening wind penetrating to her bones. She couldn’t help but hug herself, and didn’t dare act rashly even though the two already disappeared.

Fear made her whole body tremble!

Being seen through by the hero and being threatened to be cut down… which demon wouldn’t be scared witless? It was already courageous of her to still be able to stay standing and not collapse onto the ground.

But…

Who can help her? She couldn’t move anymore, if it continues like this, she’ll probably have to stand here for a whole night.

“Hey, who were you talking to earlier? Who were those two?”

At that time, she heard a comforting voice from behind.
