Chapter 378 – Extreme Arrogance…

Lin Xiao was an experienced middle-aged mercenary and Yao Zi was an eccentric old granny… all because of Andre’s nonsense, that impression was already set into Claire’s head.

If not, she would find out by asking more that he was the so-called Lin Xiao, but unfortunately, she couldn’t be bothered to ask anymore.

A mere E-ranked team actually talking shamelessly about saving Caesar, what a joke.

If this was the special investigation team that Abra recommended, then she would get off her high horse and sit with them to discuss a rescue plan, but now…

To her, they looked like they came from a rich family and got their badges through a backdoor.

Now they’re overestimating themselves and came here to play heroes.

Childish and naive, how could they be qualified to discuss a plan with her Not immediately revoking their qualifications was already kind enough.

While they were speaking, Andre and the others also curiously walked out of the room and surrounded Claire, and also sized up these 5 strange fellows.

“Caesar really has a lot of friends, there are all kinds of people.” Claire’s eyes were full of contempt and hinting at them to not get full of themselves.

Then she coldly ordered, “I’m personally leading the rescue effort, it’s not something you have to worry about.”

“You’re leading”

“That’s right, the rescue team shouldn’t be too big, I’ll lead Andre’s small team into the plague zone and find traces of Caesar’s team.

During that time, all of you should stay here and await orders!”

Claire changed the topic and issued her final order with everyone responding in unison, only Andre’s expression remained complicated.

“Princess Claire, do you want to reconsider…”

“No need, we’re leaving right now!” She immediately rejected Andre’s suggestion and then sternly warned the youth behind her, “The E-rank investigators over there, stay here and don’t leave without my permission.”

“Heh, my sister wouldn’t even dare to do that to me easily, and you want to keep me here”

“That’s right, do you have something to say about that”

“Oh… then let’s see whether you’re capable of doing that or not!”

“A fool who doesn’t know his place… a mere E-rank investigator, it seems like I need to discipline you!”

Lin Xiao has never seen a woman as arrogant and unreasonable as Claire, and she was also angered by Lin Xiao’s arrogance.

The two glared at each other, neither giving way to the other.

The atmosphere was getting thicker and the pressure made it hard for everyone else to breathe.

No one around them dared to make a sound.

Originally, the investigators blocking the door all looked down on Lin Xiao, but after seeing this, they all sweated for him… clashing headfirst with Claire and even disobeying her orders.

They didn’t know whether he was gutsy or stupid.

The room fell silent and everyone held their breaths when sudden shouting came from outside!

“Princess Claire, something bad happened!”

The shouting suddenly stopped, so everyone squeezed and tried to take a look outside and saw that it was a youth who ran too fast and fell when entering.

“Ow… something terrible happened!”

He crawled up into the room with an anxious expression and was delighted when he saw that Claire was right at the door.

But when he opened his mouth to say something, he couldn’t because he was breathing too hard.

“Calm down… what happened”

The youth took a couple of deep breaths and explained as quickly as he could.

“Princess! There’s a large group of demonic beasts outside the city that came out of nowhere and blocked all the main roads… w-we couldn’t resist and could only escape… but 6 investigators still couldn’t get away!”

“What Damn!”

Claire clenched her jaws and fist and really wanted to punch someone!

It seems like blessings never come in pairs and misfortune is never alone, they just got the information about Caesar’s team and now there are demonic beasts

This was the capital of Gotham Kingdom, so there shouldn’t be any demonic beasts appearing nearby, but who knows what the hell is going in the west.

At present, it was pointless to think about where they came from, they had to chase them away! Otherwise, if they block the main road to the west, then Claire couldn’t head towards Yellowstone!

“How many are there, and what level” Claire nervously asked.

“A-a lot! The main group is a colony of bloodsucking ants! … The strongest one is a seventh-level queen ant! It was hiding deep in the forest, but someone still spotted it.”

He nervously reported about the demonic beasts and at the end, he opened his arms exaggeratedly to show how big that queen ant was.

“Tsk… a queen ant with a colony of bloodsucking ants That’s going to be annoying.”

Claire’s heart tightened and she nervously bit her thumb.

Other than Andre and them, she had 40 something investigators which should be enough to deal with the ants, but the problem was…

She couldn’t divide herself so which side should she take care of

Since the queen ant lead so many ants, if they all rushed over, it would be hard for anyone to resist them.

Even if they have 40 something investigators, they might not be able to hold back a large scale onslaught and might even all be wiped out.

In order to guarantee success, Claire only had one choice and that was to personally lead them to form an organized team and make full use of her commanding abilities to have a chance of winning.

But… if she did that, then she was afraid she wouldn’t have time to go with Andre to find Caesar.

So Claire was faced with a difficult choice.

Should she command them against the ants or go with Andre to look for Caesar

“No, there’s not enough time… there are too many ants, even if I lead people to defeat them, we won’t be able to clear all of them in such a short amount of time and Caesar can’t wait any longer… manager, you arrange people to take care of the ants, we’re leaving right now!”

“Eh Princess Claire, w-where are you going” Andre was stupefied when he heard Claire’s orders.

The road to the west was filled with bloodsucking ants, if they don’t chase them away, they cant go west, so where were they going

“I know a small road, it’s a bit longer, but we can avoid the ants….

they have terrible eyesight so if we take the small road at night, then we can avoid them!”

It had to be said, Claire was taking a risky approach… she was trying to slip past the ants at night.

It sounds easy but it would be difficult to pull off and any mishaps and all of them would die.

But she had no choice, that was the only way to break through, she couldn’t take care of all of the ants so quickly and had to rush over to Yellowstone.

“Hehe, I thought the legendary Leopard Queen would be capable, but it seems like you’re just an idiot.”

“Did I hear wrong… bastard, what did you just say!” Claire couldn’t believe her ears when she heard Lin Xiao’s insult.

“A princess of the kingdom actually choosing to sneak around in the middle of the night, aren’t you just a thief at that point What a joke.” Saying that, Lin Xiao yawned, not only saying something infuriating, his face also looked like he needed a good beating!

“Oh If that’s the case, then this E-rank investigator must have a better idea Please do tell us all about it!!! If you can’t, hmph, then don’t blame me for being ruthless…” Claire suppressed her rage and decided to give him one last chance.

If this kid doesn’t have a better suggestion, then she was going to tie him up and toss him into the forest to feed the ants!

“A better idea Of course.

You can just directly take the main road.”

“What The main road Hahaha… are you an idiot” Before Claire could say anything, Andre started laughing first, “Are you deaf The roads are blocked by the bloodsucking ants, how are you going to get by”

“By walking.” Lin Xiao tilted her head.

“Peh! Do you think the ants are your maid, and they’ll just let you through because you want to walk through”

“Oh, if they won’t, then you can just finish them off.

It’s simple.” Lin Xiao threw up his hands and shrugged like it was obvious.

“What Y-you…”

Everyone who heard that including Claire was shaken.

You can just finish them off.

Lin Xiao’s words were so calm like he was saying something that couldn’t be more normal.

His calm tone sounds like it was guaranteed with strength, if it was just simple bragging, then he wouldn’t be that confident!

“If you want to take the detour at night, I won’t stop you… but I don’t have time to waste with you, I’ll take the main road and will help you finish off the ants in passing.”

Lin Xiao didn’t bother dillydallying with Claire anymore, he called the rest of his team and left with everyone else staring at them.

“Just take it as a gift for our first meeting, arrogant Leopard queen… I just hope you won’t bother me anymore.”

This time, no one stopped Lin Xiao and they finally came to themselves after Lin Xiao walked to the end of the street and disappeared over the horizon.

“So he’s saying that he’s going to go head-on against the colony of bloodsucking ants … Is he serious”

Claire maintained her previous posture as she muttered in a daze.
