BXBX NOVEL Chapter 366 Isn't He An Interesting Fellow?
But she suppressed this desire because this was a very good chance for her to increase her battle experience.
However, now that he took out an offensive talisman to threaten her life with, she could no longer think about getting more fighting experience and took out a higher tier defensive talisman that what he showed her.
Jack\'s expression stiffened when he saw this.
A moment later, he laughed, "If I\'m not wrong, your talisman can defend you only for a short-few-seconds, right?"
"So what?" Belen smirked.
"So… I\'m curious, you can defend against one attack with your defensive talisman, but how will you defend against these two?" Saying this, he took out another two mid-tier grade-three talismans and showed them to her with a playful expression on his face.
Belen didn\'t design to speak and just took out another two defensive talismans. Seeing them, Jack froze.
Belen couldn\'t help but smirk coldly and asked, "Anything else?"
Jack\'s expression turned ugly at her words. However, he couldn\'t retort, since he didn\'t have any more trump cards to rely on.
Whistle~
Suddenly, he glanced at his mount and whistled.
Whoosh!
The black-winged hawk swept Leticia away with its wing and flew to Jack, who jump atop it and sneered, "You just wait. When my companions arrive, I\'ll have you guys on knees."
Whoosh!
Just as he finished speaking and was about to order the hawk to take him into the air, the air whistled behind him and then a calm voice sounded in his ears.
"Those two old men? They will never come."
This voice sent chills down his spine and a strong sense of danger crept up in his heart.
He instinctively wanted to jump down from the hawk. However, before he could,
BANG!!
A blazing fist hit the back of his head with a bang, and his metallic head burst like a watermelon.
Scree~
As Jack died, the imprint of the slave seal vanished from the hawk\'s soul and the hawk screeched in glee.
It then shook its body and threw Jack on the ground before flying away.
Max could only watch it go since he didn\'t have any way to subjugate it.
…
"Max! Are you alright?" Leticia ran up to him and worriedly asked for his wellbeing.
Belen also scanned him for any injury and was stunned when she didn\'t find any. There wasn\'t even any dust on his clothes.
\'H-He is completely fine after fighting the three-star duo?\'
Although she knew Max was quite strong and had many grade-three talismans, he should still have some signs of fighting on his person since his opponents were two three-star mages.
However, there wasn\'t any. So, she was naturally surprised but quickly adjusted her mentality.
"I\'m alright." Max smiled and then took out a healing pill and gave it to her, "Here, eat it."
"These are just minor cuts and bruises." Leticia smiled sweetly seeing the concern in his eyes before eating the pill.
Then suddenly, she thought of something and curiously asked, "Max, you watching us fight, right?"
"Yeah." Max was startled by her question. "How did you know?"
Leticia\'s giggled, "Because you used your [Calidus Brachium] just now and it takes some time to fully cast it. So, I assumed you had arrived a while ago and were watching us fight while casting your spell."
"You are getting smarter, huh?" Max chuckled.
"You bet I am… hey! You are making fun of me." Leticia proudly nodded before realizing the other meaning of his words and pouted like a little yandere.
Seeing her act like this, both Max and Belen laughed.
Leticia stomped her foot on the ground, "I\'m not talking to you guys."
She feigned anger and walked up to Jack\'s corpse and took his spatial ring away, murmuring, "He seemed to belong to some rich family. I wonder how rich he was."
"Why don\'t you take a look and see?" Belen smiled.
Leticia nodded and dropped a drop of blood on the ring. However, nothing happened, making her frown.
"You need to use your Mana and cleanse the already established connection with its previous owner." Belen advised.
While Leticia fiddled with the spatial ring, Max conjured a fireball and tossed it on Jack\'s headless corpse, burning it to ashes.
He then turned around and said to Leticia, "You can do it later." He then said to Belen, "Belen, you take out the sparrow. Let\'s first cross the valley and take shelter in the nearby town for the night."
Because the valley was very long and it was dark right now, chances were very high that they might encounter some bandits if they crossed the valley on foot. So, to avoid the unnecessary trouble, he decided to use the bird.
"Okay." Belen and Leticia nodded in agreement.
After Belen talked to the red sparrow for a while, they rode it and flew across the valley before travelling to the nearby town on foot.
…
"That guy is quite daring. He really killed him without bothering to know who he was." The old lady, Janice\'s companion, murmured after Max and the group left.
"Hehe, isn\'t he an interesting fellow?" Janice giggled happily.
The old lady smiled wryly, "Young miss, you know he will be in trouble now, right?"
"Mm. I know." Janice nodded before smiling, "However, it\'ll be interesting to watch how he deals with them."
The old lady shook her head, not saying anything further.
"Let\'s depart." Janice waved her hand and summoned a white crane.
In another location, Dalton\'s assassin took out his communication crystal, "Young master, I apologise. I couldn\'t save young master Jack."
[It\'s alright. You keep an eye on that bastard. If there is an opportunity before he returns to the cloud academy, get rid of him.]
"Yes. Young master."
…
After an hour, Max, Belen and Leticia reached the nearby town and after having dinner in a restaurant, they found an Inn.
"How many room would you like to book, sir?" The inn attendant asked with a polite smile on his face.
"One." Max answered.
The attendant glanced at Belen and Leticia and smiled. "Alright, sir. Please follow me."
He then led them to their designated room and asked, "Please check if the room is to your liking, sir."
"Hmm. It\'s alright. You can go now." Max waved his hand.
"Alright, sir. Please enjoy the night." The attendant bowed and walked away.
Max shut the door and looked at Belen and Leticia with an intense gaze, which made both of their heart beat faster. This was especially true for Belen.
He walked toward Belen, put one hand around her slim waist and pulled her into his chest. With his other hand, he raised her chin up and slowly leaned toward her face before pressing his lips on her soft cherry lips.
Belen closed her eyes and felt her body melt at this moment. Oh! How much she waited for this day!
After a moment, he broke the kiss and gently caressed her cheeks. Looking into her slightly misty eyes, he softly said, "I\'m sorry. I couldn\'t be with you for the past few days."
Belen shook her head and gently smiled, "It\'s alright. I understand."
Max was mesmerised by her smile and couldn\'t help but plant another kiss on her lips. Just as he was about to start savoring the taste of her delicious lips, she broke the kiss and asked, "Can I take a bath first?"
Although Max very much wanted to just have her right then, he nodded after another peck on her lips, "Yes. Come quickly."
Belen nodded and went to the bathroom.
Max then fixed his burning gaze onto Leticia and asked, "You also want to take a bath first?"
"I... I don\'t." Leticia wanted to nod her head since she also sweated a lot when fighting against the hawk, seeing the look in his eyes, she ended up shaking her head.
Seeing her reaction, Max chuckled and shook his head, "It\'s alright. You can take one. There is no rush. We have all night before us."
After ten minutes, Belen came out of the bathroom, with only a white towel wrapped around her tantalizing body.
