Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

"Brother Xiao, how did I perform?"

"Well, your acting is pretty good. How about I teach you some acting skills later?"

"Eh?"

Chapter 59: Encounter Created by Crumbs

Crystal looked at the two people who suddenly high-fived with a puzzled look on her face, completely not understanding what was going on.

"That was just Rose and I putting on a little show in front of Maren."

"Clam?"

"That was all improvisation just now. Isn't it amazing?"

Rose showed an expectant expression, looking forward to Crystal's praise.

"While it's quite good, I haven't realized you have such a talent for venom and sarcasm, Rose."

"Brother Xiao, if you talk about girls like this, you will attract resentment."

"Even if you haunt me for the rest of my life out of resentment, I wouldn't mind."

"Xiao brother... idiot..."

Rose complained softly, her face flushing shyly.

"But how did you guys come to this conclusion? It can't be all based on tacit understanding, right?"

Crystal tried to ignore the two people who were suddenly flirting and asked her own questions.

"Well, rely on this."

Xiao pointed at his eyes.

Only then did Crystal notice the strange reflections in Xiao and Rose's beautiful blue eyes.

"Although the information conveyed by the lens is very short, it is enough for me and Brother Xiao."

"Huh? Why don't I have this thing?"

"You got so dizzy wearing this thing in the carriage, how could I dare let you use it casually?"

"Wow~, ah. I really envy you two."

Although it was unknown how much information could be transmitted, the tacit understanding between Xiao and Rose still made Crystal very jealous.

"Don't worry, Sister Crystal will be able to do this kind of thing soon."

When Rose took her hand affectionately, Crystal suddenly felt very embarrassed.

She felt a little guilty about the thoughts she had just had.

"Mr. Xiao, what you want is ready."

The owner of the armor shop respectfully handed a rare space ring to Xiao.

"How come... Alas, this ring can obviously be used as a reward."

"The big sister said that if it could be used as a token of love, she would consider it."

The owner smiled awkwardly.

"A token of love? Xiao, can you explain it to me?"

Hearing some strange words, Crystal put her hand on Xiao's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Indeed, Brother Xiao, we need to have a good talk."

Rose wrapped her body around Xiao's other arm.

"So that woman named Darling is actually an intelligence dealer, right?"

Chris took another sip of black tea and reluctantly accepted Xiao's statement.

In order to find out who the big sister was that the shop owner mentioned, she and Rose took Xiao to a nearby cafe to "rest" for a while.

"Oh, Brother Xiao, what's so attractive about you to these women? You're clearly a scumbag."

"Rose, it's strange for you to say that."

Xiao complained helplessly.

It was very strange to hear Rose, who was always pestering him, say such words.

"Hey, why did you do that just now? Wouldn't declaring war on Nakamura like that cause trouble for our subsequent investigation?"

After Crystal set up the barrier, she decided to take this opportunity to clarify her previous doubts.

"Of course it will, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. If I don't let Nakamura's full attention be on me, how can I let Maren play a role secretly?"

"What do you mean?"

"Crystal, did you notice that when we rescued Lucas, the girls behind Nakamura, except for Vida, all had strange necklaces around their necks?"

"You say that as if..."

Crystal also recalled the girls' outfits.

They were clearly dressed like simple adventurers, except for the necklaces around their necks which were very gorgeously decorated.

"That thing is a slave collar."

"That guy Nakamura...but what does this have to do with you provoking Nakamura today?"

"Maren and Vida don't have anything like this on their necks."

"They hold a very high status in Nakamura's heart. At least they are not considered slaves."

Crystal understood what Xiao meant.

"But that's all in the past. Since Maren was sent here to seduce me, it's obvious that she's been ignored or even abandoned by Nakamura."

"But isn't it normal for you stinky men to use women to play honey traps?"

Crystal retorted somewhat unhappily.

Although she has reconciled with her father, she still recalls the unpleasant experiences in the past.

"Men can be very jealous and possessive, especially if they value the other person."

"Brother Xiao, you don't want that Maren woman to betray Nakamura, do you? But..."

"Well, this is the detailed information I received this morning about Maren. She seems to be the one who has followed Nakamura the longest so far, and she's quite influential. Of course, she's also jealous."

"You bastard...why can't you just solve the problem like a knight? You always resort to such vile and despicable means."

Crystal looked helplessly at Xiao's evil smile, and expressed a little of the resentment in her heart.

She felt that if Xiao looked like the brave knight in the fairy tale, he would be much more handsome.

"It's a pity that I'm not strong enough to solve the problem openly."

"That's your excuse, Brother Xiao. It's obvious that that wretched man of yours isn't even strong enough for you to beat."

Rose, who was well aware of Xiao's strength, raised an objection.

"Indeed, but that won't solve the problem. Beating him up will make that bastard Nakamura stay quiet and stop messing with us?"

"That...is indeed not the case."

Crystal reluctantly admitted Xiao's statement.

"If we kill him directly, it will only bring trouble to us, right? And it will also let Nakamura retain the reputation of a righteous hero. Isn't that too easy for him?"

"You guy, why do you have so many crooked ideas?"

"And if I were an upright knight, would you like me?"

"It's like... Ugh, why would I fall for a guy like you?"

Crystal sighed, realizing that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Xiao said.

If Akatsuki was really like an ideal knight, she would simply admire him.

After all, a righteous knight wouldn't buy Lucy and Rose, who are elves, nor would he be willing to help protect Nosti while exiling his own brother...

Crystal looked at Xiao in front of her with mixed feelings, a despicable person who made her full of admiration.

"Even though you're a scumbag, a lecher, and a hateful wimp."

"But Brother Xiao is better like this."

Crystal and Rose smiled at each other.

"You two..."

Xiao sighed as he watched the two of them tacitly insulting him.

Chapter 60 The Serpent Called Jealousy

"Master Xiaohao?"

Looking at Nakamura Maren, who was sitting at the table in silence with his fingers crossed, she mustered up the courage to call out.

Having been with Nakamura for nearly three years, she knew very well that Nakamura was extremely angry now.

"So, is this all you have to report?"

Nakamura looked at Maren with such cold eyes that the girl couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes, it is."

"That bastard is really a bitch."

Nakamura leaned back in his chair, and the desk instantly turned to rubble.

He wasn't mad about Akatsuki's public declaration of war; that didn't matter to him.

Nakamura could not forgive Maren's report for the extremely intimate description of Crystal and Xiao.

He likes Crystal.

And Crystal's plan for Nakamura has a special meaning.

He vented his anger about things he couldn't have like a child throwing a tantrum.

The magical wind swept everything in the room wildly, and the originally luxurious room became dilapidated in an instant.

Maren dared neither move nor say anything, and could only stand where she was and use defensive magic to protect herself.

When the strong wind died down, many bloody cuts appeared on Maren's body.

"Bring Vida to me."

Nakamura, having regained his composure somewhat, gave the order in a low voice.

"Hey, Vida?"

Hearing the woman's name, Maren couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Why, any comments?"

"No, no. Sir Xiaohao, is there anything I can do?"

"Thank you for your hard work today. It must have been tough fighting that guy alone. Go get some rest first."

Nakamura put on the formal smile that Maren was familiar with and spoke very gently.

"But...but I..."

"Any questions?"

"No... Thank you. I'll take my leave now."

Maren didn't have the courage to speak out and left the room in frustration.

"Vida, Vader, Vader! Why that bitch again!"

In the bar, Maren slammed the cup on the table.
