When something like this happens to a girl, their first reaction should be?
"Ahhh…"
That's right, a piercing, shrill scream that would scare off all the flying creatures. The girl would then run off to a side in panic as she clutched her chest, trembling with fear.
Apart from clutching her chest, Gwendolyn wasn't shaking or scared and was only pouting at Maxwell. She then emphasised: "Nothing happened just now, nothing happened at all, understand?"
Constantine looked at Gwendolyn with a silly expression before saying, "Just now, you..."
Gwendolyn's eyes changed, and she angrily glared at Constantine, "What just now? Nothing happened just now, nothing at all."
Seeing Gwendolyn's eyes that looked like she was going to eat him alive, Constantine started backing away.
Maxwell crawled up from the ground and patted off the dust on his butt, "Understood. It's the same as last time when you landed on me, nothing happened."
"That's more like it."
Gwendolyn nodded in satisfaction but still frowned while muttering to herself before loudly saying, "You bastard, I didn't kiss you."
After saying that, her cheeks once again became faintly red.
Recalling what had happened just then, Gwendolyn's heart started beating faster. The more she thought about it, the faster it was beating and the more red her face became. This made her look even cuter and impossible for someone not to be attracted to her.
Her faintly red cheeks, a slightly angry look, coupled with her delicate face, made Maxwell dumbfounded. He then deliberately said, "I wonder whose tongue was just going around in circles in my mouth?"
"You…"
Gwendolyn's faint red cheeks once again became completely red. She stomped her foot and pouted in anger as she glared at Maxwell, her tears almost coming out.
At the side, Constantine was blinking and blinking before asking seriously: "Sir Maxwell, what does it taste like to have someone's tongue in your mouth going around in circles?"
Maxwell smiled, "You ask her, it wasn't my tongue going around in her mouth."
Constantine turned towards Gwendolyn, and before he could even ask, her stare at him forced him to look away. He then scratched his head and looked off into a random direction like a mouse that had just seen a cat.
"Okay, I'll stop messing with you."
"You should quickly leave, I'm about to start working." Maxwell's expression became serious; he didn't participate in this contest to hit on girls.
He didn't have the mood to hit on girls right now.
He had to quickly level up and increase his rank. This Bronze-ranked quest had to be completed. Not only was the experience a lot different from completing the quest, just that Type 3 martial technique alone was something he couldn't miss out on. In the entire Gillette Household or even the entire Eden City, there was no such thing as offering training in Type 3 martial technique. If he were to possess one, how awesome would his existence be?
Moreover
He was currently in a dangerous situation since Gregory could be bringing people over to hunt him down at any time, if he had not done so already.
He had exhausted his Mana and was unable to activate Overdrive. If he doesn't quickly level up soon, he will definitely not be Gregory's opponent if they find him. Also, Maxwell wasn't sure if Sebastian was going to send out an even more powerful killer to take care of him or not.
Everything was a mystery for Maxwell.
The only thing Maxwell could do was kill wild spawned beasts to level up.
As long as he was able to level up, his strength would increase, and no matter who came, he could kill with a single punch!
"I'm not leaving." Gwendolyn pouted with a grin and silently said to herself, "Maxwell, I'm here to protect you. Gregory wants to harm you, so don't drive me away."
Maxwell started frowning and seriously said. "Gwendolyn, there are demonic beasts everywhere in Eden. Based on my strength and Constantine, we can only protect ourselves and can't look after you. Not to mention staying together with us is very dangerous!"
"I know it's dangerous."
"And I don't need you guys to look after me." Gwendolyn's expression also turned serious as she silently said to herself: "I'm here to protect you, you big dummy."
"No way!"
"It's too dangerous." Maxwell's expression turned serious. Eden wasn't an amusement park, not to mention the vicious wild spawned beasts; just Gregory alone had made his situation extremely dangerous. There's no way he would allow an unfamiliar girl to encounter danger with him.
Gwendolyn stubbornly said. "No matter what, I'm still staying together with you two."
She wanted to say she was here to protect Maxwell, but was afraid of saying that since it would hurt Maxwell's self-esteem. After all, for a man to need a woman to protect them would cause them to completely lose their pride. At least Gwendolyn thought.
There's another thing.
Maxwell didn't recognise or remember her. Gwendolyn was a bit disappointed by that, but also felt this was kind of fun.
"You…"
Maxwell's eyes suddenly tensed up before roaring out. "Watch out, Constantine!"
"Howooo…"
A vicious wolf with bloodshot eyes and a red body had pounced towards the fat Constantine.
(Fiery Scarlet Wolf)
It was a common demonic beast in Eden. It was extremely savage with a very strong attack power, making it very difficult to deal with.
Constantine had also detected the danger. His fat body rolled out of the way and ingeniously dodged the Fiery Scarlet Wolf's sneak attack. He was then planning to pounce on top of the wolf to hold it down and create an opportunity for Maxwell to kill it.
But!
Within an instant
A white figure flashed by, and a sword light was seen.
"Swoosh!"
Whimpers!
The Fiery Scarlet Wolf cried before dying as its body twitched on the ground. Its two eyes glared at the beautiful yet fierce girl as if it died filled with regrets.
"Holy crap."
"So violent, so steadfast, a level 8 bronze rank spawned beast killed in seconds. You…" Maxwell was awed, completely and utterly in awe.
A level 5 bronze rank spawned beast was similar to someone at the level 3 bronze rank. Even if it was Gregory, there's no way he could kill it with a single sword strike. Yet she...
Gwendolyn pulled back her sword. Upon seeing Maxwell and Constantine's shocked expression, she smiled smugly. "How was it? Do I still need you guys to look after me?"
Constantine's head was shaking like a rattling drum. When the sword strike passed by in front of his eyes, he almost died from fright. His fear towards Gwendolyn had increased even more at this point.
Maxwell chuckled and suddenly pretended to be filled with deep trust. "No need, no need at all. You can follow us if you want, but I have a condition."
"What condition? As long as I can go with you guys, I will agree to any condition." Said Gwendolyn.
As long as I'm around, no one will be able to bully either of you.
Therefore, whatever condition Maxwell proposes, she would agree to it.
Maxwell didn't know what Gwendolyn was thinking, or else he would propose another condition.
"In the future, don't directly kill the spawned beasts with one strike; leave them on their last breath so that I can kill them." Maxwell's heart ached while staring at the Fiery Scarlet Wolf in its own pool of blood.
This was experience points!
This damn System, if he didn't kill it himself, then he wouldn't get any experience out of it.
Since Gwendolyn was so awesome, a strike here and there would get rid of each spawned beast. Getting first place and completing the quest would be easy, but he wouldn't get any experience points.
How can he level up without experience points?
Maxwell's goal in participating in the hunting contest was to level up. Why bother staying around here if he wasn't going to level up?
Gwendolyn didn't really understand why, but readily agreed, "Fine."
In the end, her heart was secretly relieved since she was afraid Maxwell would propose some sort of perverted request. Yet in her heart, she was willing to agree to anything Maxwell proposed.
This girl was just so silly that she was extremely cute!
