Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 578: Irrefusable Request

The next day.

There should have been a lot to prepare before they left, but because it was Lin Xiao, so everything was simplified.

Originally, Claire planned to form a negotiation team with the leader having full responsibility along with a couple of reliable helpers.

Although they were going as emissaries and couldnt bring too many people, they still had to consider safety, otherwise what if something happened en route?

So Claire wanted to send a guard team with Lin Xiao and have tens of strong warriors to protect him and to put up a front.

But all of her requests were rejected.

Im enough for negotiations oh right, and my maid. But my maid doesnt count, so Elena isnt a member of the team.

That was how Lin Xiao responded to Claire, although it sounded like he was joking, she knew he was serious so she could only go along with it.

That being said, Lin Xiao didnt plan to go with just the two of them, so there were still inconveniences, so in the end, he brought a couple more people.

So Lin Xiao decided to call up Yao Zi and Xiao Tian, and the four of them became the negotiation team.

Dont underestimate the two of them, compared to Claires elite warriors, Yao Zis legs were thick as hell!

Lin Xiao finally found a job that suited Yao Zi, and that was a human monster-killing machine!

Unlimited magic power with poor control, although it was hard for her to beat enemies stronger or around the same level as her when it came to weaker enemies, she was the best choice!

But Lin Xiao wouldnt use her as a tool to kill ordinary soldiers, because it would be too bloody and make it difficult for Claire. Since the rebels were just people from Gotham Kingdom that were bewitched by the cult.

So Lin Xiao saw Yao Zi as capital, as long as she was there, he had the confidence to start a war with an army, and if they ever had to do something, then he could use her to save a lot of precious time.

Other than the members, Claire also created a detailed playbook for the negotiations. But that was unnecessary for Lin Xiao, he just flipped through it and then handed it back to Claire.

Claire wanted Lin Xiao to explain so she questioned his plans, but he didnt want to respond and just said that hell adapt to the situation as it happens.

Hey, what plans do you have just tell me! Do you not trust me?

What are you so curious for? Even if I tell you, you cant help, rather it might cause trouble, so its pointless telling you.

But

My queen, I am your knight! Just dont worry and leave it to me, wait here for my good news.

But I

But nothing, if you think its boring here, then go play with sister Ying, shes recuperating at home and bored.

ShenDai Ying? Hm, I dont get it

Claire could only sigh and gave up her questioning.

But it was interesting, in the beginning even when Claire went to beg him, he wouldnt help to deal with the rebels, but now his attitude completely did a 180, and not only did he agree to help, he took complete charge in handling everything!

So, youre setting off tomorrow?

Hm, I get the gist of everything and theres no need to delay.

Whats the rush? I still wanted to take some time to chat and get closer uh no, to discuss plans of action before you left!

Hehe, theres nothing bad with talking more, but we dont have much time left. More unexpected things may happen, and Caesars team may not be able to hide much longer, Nick is also plotting his final counterattack, we cant delay anymore.

Youre right

Claire couldnt rebut Lin Xiaos logic, but in actuality, he also had selfish motives. If he didnt take care of the rebellion and retrieve the holy sword, then ShenDai Ying will be left crippled longer.

But Claire, I still have a request before leaving, I hope you can agree.

Go ahead, Ill agree!

I want you to get the highest authority on the frontlines.

What do you mean? Do you want to lead the troops for Barrett in the war?

No, Im not going to fight, furthermore, I dont know how to lead soldiers

Then what do you mean?

Simply put, I want you to give me higher authority than Barrett.

Oh, so you want him to listen to your orders, instead of him ordering you around?

Right.

This mission was extremely important and couldnt be disrupted, if they went to the frontlines and couldnt carry out their plan because of issues with authority, then that would be troublesome! Also, Lin Xiao didnt want to be ordered around by that old man.

Lin Xiao wasnt like Caesar, he wouldnt foolishly go be some team lead for nothing.

So he had to have the highest authority, that being said, its not like he would use it to deliberately make things difficult for Barrett.

You need it just in case? I get it okay, no problem, Ill give it to you! Anyway Lin Xiao, I hope you can understand that I have absolute trust in you and Ill give you whatever you want!

Thank you, Ill be back as soon as possible.

Hehe, I already said that you dont need to thank me! But, um Lin Xiao, can you also agree to something for me?

No problem! Just say it, Ill definitely agree.

Really? But you dont even know what I want, you might refuse me

Impossible! Other than being your husband, Ill agree to anything else!

Hehe, thats great! Then lets go right now!

Where to?

To see my father!

Okay! No problem hm? Wait, t-to see who?
