James's threat

Max said with a cheerful smile, "Of course you can. Yet, as you well know, it would be extremely dangerous to engage in a direct fight with monsters. I'm just anxious to find out if you'll back it up."

Camilla raised her eyebrows in response to Max's remarks. She gave him a shocked expression, then giggled after a while. She used her fingers to push her lips together to hold back her giggle. Max was staring at her with mesmerizing eyes. His ears became bright red, and a smile appeared on the side of his lips.

"If I make you happy with my performance, I hope you won't worry about me," Camilla stated.

Max sighed and replied, "Let's see, Camilla. But I'll be happy if we're on the same team." They both smiled at one another and then Camilla heard her name out of nowhere.

"Camilla."

Max and Camilla both moved their heads straight when they saw Francis standing there. Francis approached them and greeted Max.

"Hey, Max."

"Hello, Lord Francis."
