Chapter 380 - Pervert (2/2)

“Hehe…” Johnathan laughed and tacitly accepted Lin Li’s compliment. It was indeed an achievement Johnathan was proud of. Reaching level-14 before the age of 30 meant that he had the chance to become a high-ranking Warrior in the future.

Although the gap between level-14 and level-15 was just a single level, the difference in their respective ability was actually very far apart. One would only gain true respect from the others when he reached level-15. Otherwise, no matter how hard he worked, he would only become potential cannon fodder to be sacrificed.

While Johnathan was looking through the forms, Lin Li tried to ask other questions to discover more about the contents of the mission. Johnathan was very friendly and nice to talk to, and told Lin Li everything he knew unreservedly.

But, Johnathan knew too little, so Lin Li did not obtain much information from him despite a lengthy exchange. Just when he was prepared to find an excuse to leave, he suddenly heard a playful laughter behind him.

“So there’s a s.e.xy lady here. I was still wondering what’s smelling so sweet…” It was a young man in his 20s. He had a fair complexion and sharp and clean features. From his fas.h.i.+onable dressing, Lin Li could tell that he was a rich dandy with an influential background. His breath reeked of alcohol when he staggered past them.

“Hi, pretty lady, tell brother, what’s your name…” The youth had his eyes fixed dangerously on Rina as he burped and smiled lewdly.

“…” Lin Li rubbed his nose. He had seen enough perverts, but this man was the most unlucky pervert he had met. How could he seduce the Paladin from the Brilliance Shrine…?

“Back off,” Rina warned as she frowned slightly.

The small action made by Rina did not reduce her beauty in the drunkard’s eyes a single bit.

“It is a waste for such an attractive girl like you to become an Adventurer. Fighting is for the peasants. Since you are so pretty, why don’t you follow this brother? I’m from the Malfa Family—”

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of a sword being drawn could be heard. When he realized it, the cold and s.h.i.+ny sword was already pressed against his neck. Then, the chilliness of the sword woke the drunk man up.

“You… What do you want?!” the dandy asked in a shock. He thought that the young lady was just a new Adventurer without much background. On top of that, he was certain that with his background, Rina would repress her anger if she was angry, or even submit to him if she was timid…

Never had he expected that the girl was a rose with thorns. She drew her sword without saying anything! From the deadly vibe emitted by the blade, a fool would have known that the woman was serious about it…

“Hey, you’d better put down your sword. Do you know who this is? If you were to injure Sir Harvey, 10 lives are not enough for you to repent!”

The followers around were also stupefied. How could the heir of the Malfa Family be threatened with a sword? If the patriarch were to know that, the girl might not even know how she was going to die!

“I… I warn that you calm down. There’s no benefit if you were to injure me. If you do, your teammates wouldn’t be let off easily. Why don’t you… put down your sword first? We can discuss…”

The other frantic followers also nodded their heads profusely. “Yes, yes! This is the second young master of the Malfa Family, and it is your honor that he decided to talk to you. If you injure the second young master of the Malfa Family, your family members are going to be doomed. Think of your parents, and your relatives…”

“Get lost!”

After the sharp sword was put down, Harvey retreated cautiously. Only after he got behind his followers did he holler to Rina, “I will not let this pa.s.s!”

This incident occurred at the corner of the campsite. Apart from a few people around, the matter did not create much commotion. After Harvey and his followers left, the surrounding people resumed their normal activities very quickly. Rina put away her sword very slowly. “I’m sorry, I should have controlled my emotions better,” she said to Lin Li in a low voice as she walked past him.

Lin Li looked into Rina’s eyes carefully for quite a while.

“As my teammate, I hope that you can understand that to me, my teammates are the most important.

“Yes. Although I want to make use of the Malfa Family to find the nest of the Crimson Python, if this requires my teammates to repress their emotions and suffer, I’d rather climb the Blackstone Mountains to look for it alone. Next time, I hope you don’t put down your sword so quickly…”
