Nelson felt slightly pissed this time. The woman made him feel like he was a dirty beggar pestering her for alms. How could a pampered young master like him suffer such an insult?
But when he looked at the curvy figure of the woman, he pushed down the bubbling anger rising in his chest and put his hands into his pants pocket.
When he pulled his hands out, there were several glittering gold coins in the palm of his hand. He closed his hand on the coins and used the opening in his fist to pour the coins into the palm of his other hand. He was clearly showing off his wealth to tempt the woman into agreeing to his advances.
But he didn't know that he had overestimated himself this time. Christina wasn't like the other girls he had encountered before. She was the furthest from the norm in fact.
Unlike the girls who would start pandering after him at the mere glimpse of the money he had, Christina only felt disgust and disdain at his pitiful existence that needed him to show his money to earn a second look from a girl he wanted to woo.
Unbeknownst to Nelson, Christina was holding back her anger as well. She was barely keeping herself from launching the pest into the sky in order to keep it from chasing after her.
On the outside though, Christina had a perfect poker face that didn't allow a single one of her true feelings to leak out. Therefore, Nelson couldn't understand why his tricks were failing this time. The woman turned out to be even more shameless than he was.
He thought that she wanted more from him and was only pretending to ignore him because the benefits she could get weren't enough.
Nelson was furious as there were bystanders witnessing their interaction and each time he tried to approach her, she embarrassed him in front of all those people by ignoring his advances without a single word. She hadn't even bothered to look at him this entire time.
The employees that Christina had just been cautioning heard the entirety of their interaction since she hadn't been able to walk further away due to Nelson pestering her constantly.
Even though Christina didn't know who Nelson was, the employees who were actually the servants of the Windsor family clearly knew Nelson's identity. They had seen him pestering their eldest lady before and knew he didn't have any good intentions towards Christina.
Despite their low status, Christina had treated them with respect therefore; they were more than willing to come to her aid when she was in a tough spot. After all, they didn't know that Christina was an accomplished mage who had managed to hold back an S rank mage all on her own before.
The servants crowded around the two and tried to keep the young master of the Hunter family from harassing Christina.
"Young lord, miss is our family's most respected guest. Our old master has especially emphasized about her well being as long as she is staying with us. Please don't make things difficult for her."
Nelson was too far gone already to notice the meaning of their words. Someone that even the rising Windsor family had to treat with respect wasn't someone he could offend but his fragile pampered ego had been hurt by her indifference towards him and his wealth. He didn't listen to a word the servants told her and threateningly moved his hand before grabbing her ample bottom with his hand.
Nelson was lucky that he was in Byzantium city and Christina was trying not to cause trouble. Had it been Elizabeth city, Christina would have already hacked his arm off for such an affront.
The result of his actions wasn't as Nelson had expected. Christina neither screamed nor called for help. Instead she calmly stared deep into his eyes with a frigid look that froze his very soul.
Before he could understand what was happening she had already grabbed the back of his hand and twisted it towards his elbow. The slightest application of force in this position could potentially fracture his wrist.
Nelson being the pampered young lord had never experienced such pain before. He shrieked like a little girl in pain and caused a commotion.
Even the servants of the Windsor family witnessed his pitiful condition and wondered if this kind of thing could be called a man too.
His screams attracted Christina the ire of the guards who had been following after Nelson for his protection. Hogan had been afraid that Windsor family would try to get rid of Nelson in an attempt to threaten him to open the blockade of transportation.
Even though the guards were a little slow to react, they were skilled. They pounced towards Christina with the full force of their bodies behind their fists.
Christina controlled Nelson using the force of her grip on his wrist with one hand and fended off the attacks of the guards with the other. She appeared to be exceptionally skilled in hand to hand combat as she managed to throw them off their feet in just a few exchanges; and with a single hand to boot.
The guards were too surprised to say anything. They had seen competent women who could fight before but almost all of them were mages who made use of their mana to repel their attacks. This was their first time encountering a woman skilled in hand to hand combat who was even more proficient than they were.
Christina was practically playing with the three of them.
…
Zach had been in the marketplace meeting up with a few vendors in order to strike a deal with regards to some construction material for the island when the system alerted him to a hostile entity near the Windsor estate. The man clearly had no good intentions towards the Windsor family.
Ever since Christina began to stay more and more at the Windsor family estate, Zach had deployed several of his surveillance dragonflies in the vicinity in order to keep an eye on her. This was the only way he could stop worrying about her despite knowing how powerful she was.
