Chapter 186 185. He Is There For Me.
?"See? Now that's what a fire should be like!" Max said with a proud look on his face, while Alvin and his goons took a step back as they remembered taking a mini, harmless version of his fire head-on and were thankful that they were alive.
'Max!!' Alvin girted his teeth and glared at Max.
'That son of a bit*h took my woman, my fame, and even my reputation!' Alvin thought, since he knew that if it went on like this, it was just a matter of time that he would be kicked out of the Hunters Guild, because even they can only pardon few things that would lower their guild's power before correcting themselves, and Alvin was among the things the Hunters Guild could afford to pardon only once or twice. This was his last chance to redeem himself and correct everything; if he failed, he would be back to his previous powerless state, and that.... was something that he couldn't afford.
'Sorry, my friend, but you're going to die in this dungeon.' Alvin thought after analysing Max 'completely,' Max was a mage class hero, meaning a long range damage dealer. He is strong for a mage, but he doesn't have any techniques or martial arts skills; he uses simple brute force without any skills behind it. Alvin knew this because he had felt it in the bar a few weeks before when Max had plundered him. Though shameful, these were the facts. Alvin just needs to get closer to Max to kill him, but...
There was one problem.
Seo Hana.
A rank-SS hero from the Hero Association, he needs to distract her first if he wants to kill Max, but now! Looking at the way Seo Hana is behaving towards Max, it could be slightly easier than he thought. He grinned widely as his thoughts ran wild where he was with Faye Clayton whom he would make a bit*h that would only bark for him.
'Just you wait until this is over! I'll show you your place.' Alvin thought while looking at Faye with a lust filled gaze and drooled.

Faye felt a shiver run down her spine and a creepy feeling creep up her heart; she somewhat knew that was because of that f**ker, so she glanced at Max for help and noticed an ominous grin on his face, which was the same face he made when talking about the plan where he would humiliate Alvin.
'He is there for me.' A thought flashed in her mind, and a loving smile appeared on her face as she completely agreed with that thought. She rushed towards Max, who had a proud look on his face, jumped on him, locked her legs around his waist, hugged him tightly, and kissed him in front of everyone.
There were two reasons for this: one, because she felt safe in his arms, and second, because she wanted to 'mark' and show everyone that Max was hers.
"Mmhm~" She closed her eyes and enjoyed the kiss. Max kissed her back while keeping an eye on the surroundings for monsters.
"...." Their surroundings instantly turned silent as they watched Faye and Max kiss so passionately, but it seemed like they weren't the only ones that were dumbfounded by that scene, since even the monsters weren't popping out.
'Ah, I forgot that he is the one who decided when to break the kiss!!' Faye, who was out of breath, thought
"Mmphfm!!" Faye felt like her soul was leaving her body.
"Mmpha!! Haaa....haa...haa...haa...haa..." Faye breathed heavily, and as she regained her senses, she heard several gulps.
"How, haa....rough~" Faye took her chance and thought that she would make sure Seo Hana or Elise Ryan would give up on Max, but...
"Hm?" Faye looked down at her waist where Max's hand was and saw him grip her waist a bit more tightly than she expected. She then glanced back at Max, who was leaning forward towards her; she understood him and leaned down towards him and offered her ear to him.
"..... I definitely said that I'm doing my best to hold back." Max whispered in her left ear, so closely that she felt his lips on her ear. As soon as she heard his words, a strange yet pleasurable shiver cruised through her body as she felt butterflies all over, and...
'I can't believe I riled him up unknowingly, but I hope he can control....' Faye thought and before she could complete her thoughts....
"Ah~ opp!!" A soft, yet loud, moan escaped her mouth when Max bit her ear, but she soon realised they were in front of many people and covered her mouth with her hands and leaned back so hastily that if Max wasn't supporting her back, she would have fallen off, and though she covered her mouth to save herself from too much embarrassment, it was already toooooooo late.
"A-ahem!! If you are done, I hope we can continue into the gate." Seo Hana said with her face burning the same colour as the two meters long fiery wings on her back. Only then did everybody realise that they were still at the entrance of the gate!
"Y-yes!!" Faye replied with a flushed face and wanted to get off of Max, but she 'felt' like she shouldn't, and as she felt Max's grip around her, which was still as tight as before, she 'understood' that she wouldn't be able to get off even if she wanted to now, and as if Max read her thoughts.
"You bought this on yourself." Max said with a seductive smile, which seemed to seduce Seo Hana and Elise Ryan even if it wasn't intended.
"Y-you shameless!!" Faye slapped his shoulder in a bashful manner and continued to lock her legs around him. Max turned to face Hana with the same seductive smile, and...
"We'll continue to move like this... for now. I think I'll have to be the one carrying her, since she won't be able to walk if we stand in the same place for more than a minute... from now on," he said, and nobody except Faye, who was blushing violently, understood his words, but they all knew what he was talking about.
'This!! This man!!! I can't believe you're announcing what could 'potentially' happen!' Faye thought, not even trying to deny his offer, not that she would deny anything when her wish would come true and she even slightly hoped they would be here more than a minute.
*
After that, as if crushing Faye's hopes, they didn't stop for more than thirty seconds at one spot and Faye was able to get off of Max. After a few minutes, a fiery competition started between Seo Hana and Max about whose fire burned the brightest and the most fierce, and while all of this was taking place, Alvin and his goons contributed absolutely nothing, which showed them an extreme gap in strength and humiliated them at the same time, though none of five which included the squad captains from the association, Max and Faye did anything that would humiliate them, but they still felt humiliated since from the moment they entered the gate, they were being treated like extras, a baggage that should be carried and not one of the five had any thoughts about clearing up their misunderstandings, because they felt like Alvin and his goons were exactly that.
Faye, Elise, and Alex were shocked to see that Max, a Rank-S hero, was competing against Seo Hana, who is a Rank-SS hero, which is on an entirely different level from any Rank-S.
