Chapter 140 – Ready and Waiting (1/2)
Everyone pretty much understood where Caesar was coming from.
During the actual combat drill, Caesar and Rosie snuck away from the camp and were surrounded by numerous Jackalweres, nearly losing their lives. In a final attempt, they tried to break through the encirclement, but Rosie ended up being ambushed and captured, almost losing her chastity, and in the end, it was Lin Xiao who saved her.
Woos never expected that Caesar still kept that to heart.
This time’s competition wasn’t playing house, it was with real weapons, and the enemies they will face are even more cunning and merciless than the Jackalweres from Black Lake Forest. Caesar couldn’t protect Rosie last time, this time he had even less confidence.
Others may have forgotten, but Caesar never forgot that feeling of guilt.
Because of his powerlessness, Rosie was in danger!
Although admitting his powerlessness was a very painful thing for him, and he also wanted an opportunity to redeem himself, but he would never use Rosie’s safety as a gamble, that would be exceedingly stupid.
That’s why he objected to Rosie participating.
“My god! Caesar, you really are… sigh.”
Hearing him, Woos had no idea how to proceed. Shen DaiYing was even more so, and could not understand Caesar’s thought process at all.
“Um… Caesar, since you’re worried about her, why didn’t you just say so?” Lin Xiao said so uncomfortably.
“Worried? No, I just don’t want her to die meaninglessly, the Misses of the Childe household shouldn’t take risks in this kind of place.” Caesar denied it.
“Uh… but you’re clearly worried about her, it’s better to say so frankly.”
“Nonsense! Why would I be worried about her? She has nothing to do with me.” Caesar responded stubbornly.
Lin Xiao was speechless.
Other tsunderes were tsu but still had some dere, but Caesar was completely just tsun, no dere. He wouldn’t relent unless you stripped him down.
“Okay, okay, even if you’re not worried about her… why didn’t you just explain yourself instead of just letting her take out her anger on you?”
Usually it wouldn’t be up to Lin Xiao to lecture him, but he was worried about Rosie and couldn‘t help but say a bit extra.
After all, they were still allies, if Rosie turncoats, then their operation would cool down.
“Why should I console her? Who is she to me?” Caesar frowned and seriously preached, “Also Lin Xiao, you don’t understand, Rosie’s temper can’t be coddled, it was because her brother’s spoilt her. So even if she’s angry, you can just leave it and she’ll get better in a bit.”
“Is that so…” Lin Xiao pursed his lips and didn’t express his opinion.
Perhaps Rosie could rely on her inner strength to get through previous minor quibbles, but it felt different this time.
It was the first time Lin Xiao saw Rosie cry because she was hurt.
“Sigh, whatever you like.” Lin Xiao shook his head, feeling deep regret for Rosie.
Did she owe Caesar something in her past life? How did she fall in love with this dunce? What a tragedy.
“But teacher Woos, how was Rosie able to get a spot to participate?” Lin Xiao changed the topic.
“Cough… you guys should know, she’s currently Loran Academy’s bankroller.”
“Bankroller?”
Looking at Woos’s meaningful smile, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered something.
After the actual combat drill, Rosie and the principal signed a two-year contract, turning the Childe household officially into one of Loran Academy’s bankroller. In other words, Rosie was Woos’s boss, perhaps his monthly wages were doled out by her as well.
As the boss, wasn’t it normal to get a spot? Who dares to object?
Oh you do? Okay, no wages for you this month, next month you don’t have to come in anymore, scram!
What? You ask how dare Rosie be so unbridled?
Sorry, if you’re the lady of the Childe’s household, then you can also do that, as long as you have money, you can do as you please!
“Uh… but teacher Woos, it indeed is too dangerous for Rosie to participate with her ability. Are her brothers not worried?”
From what Lin Xiao knows, Rosie has many mysterious and powerful brothers and all of them are super siscons. But they actually allowed Rosie to participate, are they not worried that she’ll be in danger?
“Hehe, you guys don’t have to worry about her, you should worry more about yourselves.” Woos stroked his beard and his smile carried a hint of jealousy, “You really can do whatever you want as long as you have money, no matter how weak you are you won’t be in danger, so you guys don’t have to worry.”
“Ah?” Lin Xiao was stupefied.
She won’t be in danger since she has money? What kind of logic is that? Would no one bully her during the competition because she’s rich?
Was Rosie’s plan to use large amounts of gold coins to smack her opponents to death?
It’s unlikely, even if the opponent let her go out of greed, Caesar won’t sit still with his personality, and would definitely take care of her.
