Chapter 188 187. An Obvious Victory.

"Damian." Max's mumbled words sounded, but nobody could understand what he said since he was a bit far away from them.

"Max?" Faye called out, since she felt like Max knew that hobgoblin.

"Haaa..." A long sigh escaped Max's mouth; since his voice was yet to be heard, they only saw Max's shoulder go up and then down.

"Coming!!" Max roared and jogged towards them with a charming smile on his face, which eased any doubts they had.

FHUMP

"...." Max hugged Faye as soon as he arrived, and Faye suddenly felt sad. There was something that felt wrong, and she felt uncomfortable with that hug; it was a hug she didn't want. Though she didn't know what was happening or what it was about, she didn't like that hug, and she didn't want to let him go. She felt like something she would never want would happen if she let him go.

THROB

'Wh-what? Wh-what's going on? Why do I feel so uncomfortable with this hug, and why does it feel like something I don't want will happen if I let go?" Faye thought and tears welled up in her eyes, she didn't even know what was going on, but.... she felt her heart clench.

Suddenly! All of those feelings she felt instantly disappeared, and everything returned to normal as if nothing had ever happened. Since she was the one who felt them, she wouldn't be able to ask or explain anything about what had just happened.

"Huh?" Faye frowned while hugging Max as everything she just felt disappeared, but those emotions she felt were too vivid to think anything else about them, and it was the moment she confused more than she had ever been.

"Wha... Mmphf!" Faye wanted answers from Max about the feelings that appeared and disappeared in a flash. She pushed Max back gently with her hands on his shoulders, and before she could ask her questions, Max kissed her while cupping her face. Faye's mind removed thoughts about those feelings for now as soon as he kissed her.

"Mmhpa!!! Haaa... mmphf!!" He broke the kiss and kissed her as soon as she took a breath, and then he continued to kiss her while allowing her to breathe as they continued to kiss, ignoring everything around them, and this time everybody 'felt' Max's love for Faye.

Hana, Elise, and Alex averted their gazes from the alluring sight, and their gazes soon fell on Alvin, his dead goons, the hobgoblin mage's headless body, and finally the hobgoblin mage's bodiless head.

"Mmhm~ pha, haa...haa...ha..." Faye breathed heavily after Max released her from a minutes-long kiss. Her small tongue was slightly out of her mouth as she stared at Max in a lustrous manner; unintentionally, she just looked lustful with her eyes and blushing face, which had turned that way after the longest kiss she had ever had.

STEP-STEP (5x)

The kiss was so good that she wanted to pounce on him right away but stopped herself when she heard footsteps closing in.

"S-shall we get out of here? We have many reports to take care of, and since there are tons of things that have happened in this like a fastest rank-A dungeon raid clear, guild battle victory, dungeon battle victory, and new troublesome things, new monster variants, new dungeon types, and many more," Seo Hana explained with a blush.

"Of course, thank you for waiting." Max thanked them with a charming smile, which Faye didn't mind since her mind was filled with lustful thoughts.

"O-of co-course, no problem, hahaha." Surprisingly, Elise spoke up this time with an awkward laugh; since her fiery personality was widely known, her actions seemed a bit cute.

"Hahahaha." Max laughed and began walking while holding Faye's hand.

Few hours later.

In a 40-foot-long office room. A gorgeous blonde-haired woman sat behind a desk with a dazed expression on her face. She had a ton of papers on her desk, but she did none of them as she continued to rub her lips in an unintentionally seductive manner.

'The news about the dungeon battle is yet to announced and that f**ker getting kicked out of the hunters guild is yet to happen too.' Faye sighed inwardly.

'But....' She paused her thoughts and remembered how good the previous kiss felt.

'I'll come pick you up, around eight.' Max's voice resounded in her head, and Faye blushed violently since today was the day Max had said they would make love, and of course he had asked for her opinion a ton of times.

TAP

Faye tapped on her smartwatch to check the time, and it was [7: 48 pm] at that moment. They were already supposed to be together at this time since it was a date, though a bit grumpy Faye sat behind the desk, since Mr. Punctual always arrived right on time no matter what it was.

Faye was still sitting on her armchair because the date was planned for 9:00 and they were meeting early because Faye asked him to, and if her mood was right, the date would be cancelled, and she was sure she wouldn't be going on any dates today.

'Is.... could this be considered moving fast? Or am I just h*rny for him? Well, we have only started dating for 53 days and 23 hours.... though it didn't hit when we kissed, but....' Faye questioned herself.

".... It was just.....too good." Her thought process was cut short since as soon as the word 'kiss' sounded in her mind, she remembered everything she would feel every time they kissed.

'I think..... I'm simply h*rny for him.....'

"But it's not a bad thing! Since I am feeling h*rny for him! And only for him!" Faye justified herself out loud, involuntarily, while blushing violently.

'What....were those saddening emotions I felt, when Max hugged me previously....'

RING

Her professional smartwatch rang and she picked up without thinking much.

BEEP

[Miss Faye Clayton, you have a guest.] The receptionist's professional, yet sweet voice sounded.

"A man?" Faye asked.

[U-um, Y-yes.] The receptionist said, stuttering.

'Is she charmed by his handsomeness too?' Faye pouted inwardly.

"Send him in." Faye said and hung up.

TAP (5x)

"Hm?" Faye frowned when she heard the footsteps from the hallway leading to her office room.

'This....is not Max.' She realized because she was familiar with the sound of Max's footsteps and the one from the outside definitely wasn't him and when she realized that fact an ominous feeling crept up her heart and....

BAM

Her room's door was busted open from the outside as soon as she took her sword out of her inventory, and a deep frown appeared on her beautiful face when she saw the dagger-wielding silhouette walk in to her office room.

"Alvin?"
