Belen and others immediately noticed this change in his expression since they were always focused on him, and looked where he was looking.
There was a woman who could be called the prime example of a dangerous beauty.
Only in terms of beauty, she had easily surpassed normal woman and was comparable to Flavia. Moreover, after taking a glance at her, one would get the feeling of danger, which somehow made her even more attractive to men.
"Isn't this that masked woman who attacked us a few days before?" Leticia asked, frowning.
Realising that she was the woman who tried to kill them and the fact that she turned out to be more beautiful than her, her mood soured and she became angry even more. The same was true for Rima and Belen.
"Yeah. She is." Max nodded and stopped looking at her.
Like other men who were staring at her like hungry wolves, he didn't seem to be affected by her beauty.
However, that didn't mean he wasn't attracted to her. But the fact that she tried to kill him and he already had woman comparable or even more beautiful than her, made him treat her differently.
Just as he stopped looking at her, the masked woman who wasn't wearing a mask now, seemed to feel something and glanced in his direction.
Seeing Max, she was a bit surprised before a charming smile appeared on her face. The nearby men who were watching her fell into daze seeing her smile.
"Such a beauty! I hope I was in her team." A man exclaimed with a dreamy look on his face.
"You? What would you have done even if you were? Do you have courage to make a move on her?" A female disciple beside him said in disdain.
"Hmm, that doesn't matter. At least I could have spent a month with her." The man grinned.
"Tch, horny bastard." The female disciple cursed.
"However, who's she is smiling at?" That man and others curiously glanced over and saw Max which caused their expressions to freeze
"Hahaha.... What? Why don't you keep oogling her?" The female disciple laughed.
…
"This bitch. How dare she smile like that at him?" Leticia became enraged seeing this and couldn't help but curse.
Max looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect a pure girl like her to curse.
He then noticed that Belen and Rima also had angry expressions and looked as if they couldn't wait to go over and kill her right now.
Moreover, he noticed that their gazes were also filled with jealousy as they stared at her which caused him shake his head and smile wryly.
He recalled people say that women were strange creatures who would compare themselves to others and would feel jealous when encountering someone more beautiful than them.
He then glanced at Haory. She didn't have any intense reaction and her eyes flashed with a cold look momentarily before returning to normal.
...
Suddenly, Max saw her walking towards them which made him frown slightly.
Boom!
Leticia, Belen and Rima all released aura and their mana swirled furiously. They were ready to attack her anytime.
Max was taken aback a little and said "Relax guys. She shouldn't be foolish enough to attack us in front of everyone."
Belen and Rima realized what they were doing and felt a bit embarrassed. Leticia on the other hand didn't back down and retorted "What if she does."
Max expression instantly turned cold as he said "Then, I'll make sure she dies right here."
"Ugh!" As he said this, they felt a murderous aura radiate from him which made them freeze for a second.
They then looked at each other and sighed in relief.
…
Masked woman's footsteps stopped when she felt the killing intent radiate from him.
Shua!
The four disciples behind her surrounded her in circles, looking warily at Max and company.
Others watching them realised that this beauty had some kind of enmity with Max's group.
Some guys's eyes twinkled and they had urge to help her to gain her favor, but they suppressed this urge only watched.
If it was before the beasts started attacking, they might have helped her. However, now they knew how powerful Max was and were wary of him. If they can't befriend him, they definitely wouldn't offend him.
"Move back." The masked woman said after noticing Max's murderous aura retract and ordered the four disciples to move back and walked towards him.
"Hello! Sir Max. How are you?" She greeted Max with a smile.
Max simply looked at her without bothering to return the greeting.
The masked woman's expression became a bit awkward seeing this but she couldn't blame him because just a few days ago, she was trying to kill him. So it was only normal for him to behave like this.
She then took a deep breath and said "My name is Evangeline. As I said that day, I'm not your enemy although I tried to kill you and you guys also killed a few of my men."
She then continued "However, I admire your strength and will treat you as my opponent from now on. So, I advise to be prepared since everyone who I deemed as my opponent, is now dead." As she said this, her eyes started to flicker with intense fighting spirit.
She then turned around and walked away without waiting for his reply.
Sending her away with his eyes, Max had a faint sneer on his lips.
"What an arrogant woman! How dare she threaten you like this?" Rima said as she looked at Evangeline with cold look.
Max looked at her and shook his head "Remember to not mess with her anytime soon. You guys aren't her match right now."
Leticia and Rima looked at each other before nodded helplessly.
Belen on the other hand, didn't seem to agree with him but still nodded as she can't go against his orders.
Leticia and Rima looked at her and thought 'Belen might have chance to defeat her since she has reached the peak of middle stage and might reach high stage in a few days.'
After a few hours, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Over a hundred disciples had gathered by now and no new disciple came out in past one hour.
"It's time. Let's go." Elder jack said and jumped down the tree along with other two Elders.
…
Everyone was waiting for Elders to come and take them back to them academy right now.
"How much more time do we need to wait?" A disciple said in frustration.
Shua!
Just as he said this, three figures appeared in front of them.
Everyone immediately became alert thinking that some more beasts had come.
However, after looking closely, they realised that they were the Elders and excitedly started to greet them.
