Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid

Chapter 500: The Only Test of a True Dragon

Since now that he was Gothams dragon, there were some things that he couldnt let others easily slander! Insulting him wasnt a big deal, he never minded that but if you insult his two sweethearts, then youre just asking for it!

Actually, Lin Xiao never minded that pork oh no, Bacon guy. He knew that he became a Baron at a young age and was spoiled by his father, so it was natural to have a temper, so he didnt mind him. Since Bacon didnt know his own identity, what was the big deal of him saying a couple of things? If Lin Xiao got worked up by these kinds of people, he would be overworked.

But having your own identity suspected was quite troublesome, Lin Xiao planned on having a chat with Gerrard and using his own eloquence to win his trust. Thats why he didnt come on hard, but Bacon saw his concessions as weakness and tried to cross the line multiple times which eventually ended up like this.

That smack didnt just make Bacons face red, but also shattered his dreams. At the same time, everyone stared in shock, even the guards forgot their jobs and just stood there not knowing what to do.

It was the first time theyve seen such an arrogant liar, not only did he not submit, but he also smacked someone in front of everyone. They didnt know whether to commend him for being brave, or laugh that he actually tricked himself in thinking he was Gothams dragon!

He even said something about helping Claire discipline her retainer arent you getting too into it?

Y-you stinking kid How dare you hit me!? Bastard, did you know that my dad has never even hit me! Who the hell do you think you are!?

Oh, then just treat me as your dad.

What did you say? You shameless

Slap!

Just as Bacon was about to curse at him again, another loud slap was heard!

Apologize!

Lin Xiao didnt want to hear any more of his nonsense as he commanded him while raising his hand and slapping him again, leaving another red handprint behind.

Two clear red handprints were left behind, one on each side of his face.

I I

The second slap didnt just hurt his face, his legs also went soft and he almost fell over as he stumbled around to regain balance.

He suddenly realized that Lin Xiao was just desperate and he was already cornered! So he endured his anger and turned to holler at Gerrard!

Gerrard! Did you see this? This liar actually thinks hes Gothams dragon and roughed me up why arent you getting someone to arrest him!?

He had thought that Gerrard would surely order the guards to arrest Lin Xiao, but to his surprise, Gerrard secretly stopped the guard captain who was about to rush over.

Gerrard!? Are you deaf?

Uh no I just hm, right! Youre right, as a Baron, how could you endure this kind of humiliation? Its outrageous!

Gerrard clenched his fists and made a show of it while also secretly giving a look to the guard captain, telling him not to do anything rashly.

Bacon didnt notice, but Lin Xiao did. He didnt do anything and just faintly smiled while waiting for Gerrards decision.

Baron Bacon! A-are you hurt?

Hmph, dont worry about me, Im fine. How could he hurt me? What a joke! I didnt even feel any pain, none at all! It was just a tickle!

Puh, your face is all swollen, how could it not hurt

Gerrard, what did you say?

Ah? N-nothing cough, youre right! A liar that impersonates someone else must be weak, how could he injure you?

Gerrard found it funny that Bacon was trying to act tough and almost laughed out loud, he muttered something and held in his laugh while he got back on topic.

Youre right! Bacon continued to act tough to protect his dignity, Im a fifth-level magician! How could I be attacked so easily? I was just too close earlier and was careless, otherwise, he wouldnt even be able to touch my sleeves!

Thats right! Baron Bacon, youre already a fifth-level magician at such a young age, a true genius, how could you be on par with a liar like that?

Gerrard nodded and watched Bacon fall into the hole he dug himself as he spoke the final sentence.

Baron Bacon, as the deputy manager, I wont allow someone to insult your dignity!

So youre finally getting someone to arrest him?

Bacon smiled and thought Gerrard was finally going to order someone to arrest Lin Xiao, but his words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished his expectations.

So Baron Bacon, I decided to allow you to personally punish that bastard, for your own dignity!

Hah?

Baron didnt understand what he was saying, everyone else was also lost as well and didnt know where this was going.

Gerrard, what are you saying? Getting me to personally punish this kid?

Thats right! Guard captain, you, you, and you guys step back and make some space for Baron Bacon!

Gerrard chased everyone out and emptied out the room, then he walked to a side and spoke.

Bacon Baron, you must be angry being insulted by a stinking kid like that and want revenge, right? But you cant get your own dignity back personally because youre worried that people would say youre bullying the weak okay, if thats the case, then Ill make an exception today!

Hah?

Baron Bacon, if youre sure hes a liar, then please personally punish him for his crimes!

W-what do you mean?

Its simple please personally beat him up! Well cheer you on!

What!?

Everyone finally realized Gerrards intentions and smiled. It was simple he was planning on forcing Bacon to fight with Lin Xiao! Even though he couldnt discern the youths true identity, he suddenly remembered something, Lin Xiao was strong, extremely strong, and he apparently easily took care of the traitor Hardy, so naturally, he should be able to beat Baron Bacon!

If he was really Lin Xiao, then he could beat Bacon and prove his identity!

If he couldnt beat Bacon, then he must be a liar! Then Gerrard would successfully have dealt with this and let Bacon make a show of it and take out his anger, whats not to like?

There was nothing simpler than this idea Gerrard regretted not thinking of it earlier.

What was the proof for Gothams dragon?

Was it that useless badge?

Or someones testimony and trust?

No!

The badge could be forged, or stolen, and trust could be lies and bribed, but theres one thing that couldnt be faked!

Strength!

Baron Bacon, come on, dont hold back! Even if you kill him, we wont intervene!

Now the stage was set and Gerrard just had to add some more firewood to make the fire burn more to welcome the dragons descent!

No one move, dont cause trouble for the Baron! Ill take full responsibility if anything happens.

He must pay for insulting the Baron!

So Baron Bacon please!!

Gerrard also silently retreated out of the door and watched along with everyone else.

Cough the prelude was a bit long, so, are you still not planning on apologizing?

Lin Xiao shook his head and ignored everyone else as he stared at Bacon while massaging his palms. He walked over while moving his shoulders like he was warming up for the slaps to come.

It might be annoying and my hand hurts a bit, but Im afraid I can only hit you until you apologize!
