Chapter 173 172. A Bit Stronger Than Expected.

"Mhmm~" Since it was so good, she just enjoyed the kiss after a few seconds before he broke the kiss and licked his lips seductively while staring at her in the eye.

"Thank you for the meal." Max said with a suggestive smile.

"Ah!" When she finally understood she had just had her first kiss, she placed her fingers on her lips and curled her lips into a small smile.

'Like a devil.' Those words suddenly popped up in her mind, and she found those words quite accurate, since she definitely would have woken up tomorrow morning next to Max, naked, if not for the sudden disturbance.

"!" Her eyes shot wide open when she suddenly remembered the disturbance and glared at the door where Alvin and his goons stood.

'That son of a bit*h found me again, I'll have to complain at his guild for stalking!!' Faye clenched her fists and girted her teeth.

"Max...." She called out and glanced at Max who was still staring at her, ignoring Alvin as if he didn't even exist.

"Mhm?" He tilted his head slightly and hummed with a genuinely puzzled look on his face.

"There.....is some kind of annoyance...." She mumbled as her cheeks turned rosy because of his gaze.

'Wha? What am I saying? I mean, he is an annoyance, but I never spoke out loud about it!! Where is this courage coming from??' She was surprised at the words that came out of her mouth.

"Well, annoying things are everywhere, do you want an example?" Max asked Faye with his brows raised as he stared into her eyes with a charming smile. Looking at his face, her head subconsciously moved and she nodded slightly.

"Hey...!" Alvin called them out since they seemed to be in their own world, but they ignored him and continued.

"Look." He pointed at Faye, at her body to be exact.

"Hm?" She looked down, perplexed.

"The clothes you're wearing. They're such a hindrance that I want to rip it apart, but I can't. Do you know why?" Max said while smiling seductively while looking at her face, but when he looked down at her clothes, he stared at them as if they were his all-time enemy.

'!' Faye flushed red at his words and slightly expected he would do so; at that thought, she suddenly remembered the hindrance in their room again, and she glared at Alvin.

"".....Why?" She asked before glancing back at Max and blushing violently.

"Because they're simply completing the role they are given." Max replied with a wide, slightly ominous, 'smile.'

"Mhnm." Faye blushed violently and nodded her head in understanding; she felt like there was another meaning behind his words, but ignored it.

"But....we can at least get rid of one annoying things before we continue." Max said and stood up while glaring at Alvin and his goons as he fixed his gloves, grinning.

"Y-you. Basta*d! I'll have your head!" Alvin roared and rushed into the room as an axe appeared in his hands.

"What kind of fetish is that? Who the hell wants somebody else's head?" Max commented with a confused look on his face.

"Hahaha." Faye giggled and took out her sword from her inventory.

"Hm? Oh, you joining the 'fun?'" Max asked with a bright face.

"Of course, I will join the 'fun.'" Faye replied with a smile.

"Hmm..." Max started to ponder, ignoring Alvin's and his goons attack.

WHOOSH

"What's wrong?" Faye asked as she rushed forward and swung her sword at Alvin and his goons.

"Uck!!" Alvin's groan was heard from behind.

"Well...." Max mumbled, and she suddenly felt a gaze from behind, and when she turned to face it, she saw Max choking Alvin with his right hand before throwing him at her.

"!" She ducked in surprise as Alvin's body flew at her horizontally.

BAM

"Argh?" "Uck!!" "Uff!!" "Guh?" All ten goons of Alvin groaned in pain. Faye turned towards the groans and saw Alvin and his goons on the ground, groaning. She then turned to face Max, who was checking her out before slightly licking his lips seductively.

"If you get tired now, you can't have real 'fun' after this annoying thing is taken care off." Max said with a charming smile.

"Y-you!! You're thinking of that now? In this situation?" Faye flushed red before staring at Max in disbelief, not that she wanted to deny the 'real fun' later.

"Hm? Why not? It's just a few bugs, isn't it?" Max asked as he tilted his head, puzzled.

"Wha...." She was dumbfounded at his words and wanted to refute his words, but was cut short by Max.

"It can't be helped, we just have to have fun next time, bad luck." Max mumbled and Faye felt slightly disappointed.

'It was all because of this son of a bit*h!! I had so many disappointments in the last few minutes, just because of this basta*d! I have to do something about him first!!' Faye glared at Alvin, who was glaring at Max after he stood back up since he recovered from the mental damage he had just received, since he wasn't attacked physically and was simply tossed aside like a bug by Max.

"Aaaaa!! You son of a bit*h!! Because of you!" Faye suddenly remembered what Alvin did a week before in the bar and lost it.

WHOOSH

"Just die!" she yelled and swung her sword which shot out a bright blue arc at Alvin.

BOOM (5x)

Ten bright orange fireballs flew past Faye and blew away all the goons Alvin had brought with him; they all fell unconscious right after. Faye was slightly surprised, since all of them were at least Rank-B heroes, but thought that one should at least be that strong to be a guild master.

And since the annoyance was gone, Faye could properly focus on Alvin, who was perfectly defending against all of her attacks even though he was wielding a much heavier weapon than hers.

'He is a bit stronger than I expected, but....' Faye thought.

'Quick sword.' She muttered in her mind and her sword suddenly glowed bright blue.

She abruptly because fast and slashed diagonally upward at Alvin, who was caught off guard and got a quite deep cut on his left shoulder since he couldn't completely avoid or defend against Faye's attack.

"Argh!!" He knelt to the ground and groaned in pain.

CLAP (5x)

A clapping sound was heard from behind, and both Alvin and Faye glanced at the direction of the sound and noticed Max clapping with a smile on his face.

"Max." Faye mumbled and smiled slightly.

"Now, let's maintain this feeling of overwhelming victory and get out of here." Max walked towards Faye, placed his hand on her waist, and dragged her out of the room.
