Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 574: Rare Animal

Claire clearly understood what the unless meant, it meant there was an unexpected turn of events!

And it was surely a good turn of events!

Um Claire, I dont want to owe you a favor, but I dont want to hurt you and this badge is quite convenient and I like it, so

So?

So I thought about it and it seems like theres a solution.

What? Tell me!

Cough Ill help you do something. As long as I can complete a very important mission like a real Gothams dragon then I wouldnt feel so undeserving.

Help me do something? Right! Thats a good idea! Why didnt I think of that?

After hearing that, Claire suddenly came to a realization!

Yes, since Lin Xiao said that he was undeserving, then she should get him to help her with something important!

Claire suddenly felt like she was an idiot! She should have already thought of it, if she wanted to deepen her relationship with Lin Xiao, then the best way wasnt to do favors for him, but the opposite. It was to bother him, make him worried about her, and think about her to capture his heart!

Elena was the best example.

Lin Xiao once hated her and wanted to chase her away several times. But Lin Xiao couldnt stop worrying about her because of her carelessness. Not only did she cause him a lot of trouble, she also got him into numerous dangerous situations.

Every time she was in danger and needed someones help, Lin Xiao may have said it was annoying, but he always helped her, and their relationship slowly improved through the tribulations to the point where they became inseparable!

So if she wanted to conquer Lin Xiao, she couldnt act too strong and had to show her weak side to invoke him sympathy and to get him to approach of his own accord and then trap him!

But what should I get you to do?

Claire already realized it, but she couldnt think of what to get Lin Xiao to do off the top of her head.

Seeing her act dumb, Lin Xiao could only say it for her, Right Claire, is there anything new with the rebels lately?

Nothing new, everythings going successfully according to your plan.

According to Lin Xiaos plan, the front and the back had to fully cooperate and then they had to counterattack!

But before that, there was still one thing that Claire hadnt resolved.

In order to guarantee the effectiveness of the counterattack, Barrett is training an elite squad at the frontlines!

An elite squad? Whats that?

A special squad directly affiliated with the grand marshall. There are only tens of them, but they were all specially selected elites, called Dragon Sword!

Dragon sword? Not bad.

This team will surely be the sharpest dragon slayer sword on the battlefield! Also, I heard the leader of the team is someone you know.

Someone I know? Who.

That that man whose name I didnt want you to bring up.

Oh, your long lost twin, Caesar?

Peh! I knew you were going to joke about it I already said were not blood-related! Its just a coincidence we look so alike!

Hehe, there are coincidences like that but since hes the leader of the team, that means they are very strong.

Lin Xiao understood after listening to Claire. Caesar already headed to the front lines and made it in time when Barrett was selecting elites, so naturally Caesar would be selected.

But since they already had this elite squad, what was Claire worried about?

Actually, we still dont have all the information regarding the distribution of their forces and their line of defense deployments, so if we suddenly counterattack, well very likely encounter a trap! Then all of our work would go to waste!

Claire told Lin Xiao what she was troubled by and Lin Xiao agreed and also fell into thought. It wasnt just the traps, there was still something Claire didnt mention that Lin Xiao was worried about, Nick, what other plans did he have?

Nick lost one arm, was seriously injured and everything he worked on was destroyed by Lin Xiao. Now that he was but a stray dog, what would he do next?

Would he give up on his wicked ways, or fight to the death and make a last struggle?

Lin Xiao believed that he would choose the latter! And he held a trump card that was capable of turning the tides.

Titan!

That monster only appeared in name in the journal, but Lin Xiao didnt dare underestimate it! How could a monster that Nick spent so long on be so easy to deal with? Also, dont forget about the living dead army that Nick controlled.

Perhaps those weak living dead are nothing to Lin Xiao, but theyre still a formidable force against Barretts army!

Claire was right. If she counterattacked ahead of time, even without an ambush, they might meet Nicks living dead army and at that time they might be completely wiped out!

So, Im still planning on using the method you mentioned before to suggest negotiations with the rebels!

In order to investigate the enemy, she decided to send a negation team to the rebels. Their mission was to negotiate on the surface, but in actuality, it was to investigate the enemy and provide information for the counterattack!

But I still havent found a suitable person.

Since they shouldered such an important mission, their leader had to be extremely reliable! Not only did they have to be strong, but they had to be careful and be able to maintain cool in all situations. They also had to be good at acting, and eloquent.

More importantly, that person couldnt be someone too amazing! Or at least no one can know about their strength! If Claire sent someone like Barrett, the rebels would be vigilant and it would be hard to get any information and they would be in danger, how could the rebels give away a precious chance of killing off the grand marshall?

So Claire had to find a normal-looking and unknown, yet strong and reliable person as the leader! But those people were rare, so Claire still didnt have a suitable choice.

But perhaps this was fate, while she was troubled, he came.

So you still havent decided on a team lead?

Yes, if I still cant find somebody, then I can only get Taike to try.

Are you sure he can do it?

No, Im sure he cant do it I just wanted to find somebody.

Hehe, if thats the case, then how about me? Im probably a better choice than Taike.

You? Hm, you are indeed Claire touched her lips and began thinking, then she opened her eyes wide like she heard something unbelievable, What did you say? Are you willing to become the negotiation team lead?

Yeah, if theres no better choice, then let me try. If Im lucky and complete the mission then I would be deserving of the badge.

Lin Xiao! You are you really willing to go?
