Could there be some kind of conspiracy or trick? After spending this time together, Gavin Clark had already seen through the true nature of this enchantress!

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, this benefits both of us. With my help, you will eventually become one of the top powerhouses in the human world and get everything you want."

On this point, Gavin Clark had no doubts. Somehow, he was feeling great right now, his body was full of strength, and his mood was much more upbeat than before. Now he was lively and curious about everything around him. Thinking back to his previous muddled life, it really felt like a waste. Since he was alive, why not enjoy this beautiful world?

"Alright, the deal is done. This deal is based on equality!"

Gavin Clark put special emphasis on the word "equality." Although he should be the master, as a popular song on the continent goes, "Reality is often the opposite."

Grace Bennett couldn't help but laugh. What a strange person—possessing unimaginable power, yet most of the time acting like a powerless sheep. The contrast was just too great. But the dragon race had always respected the strong, whether for a year or just a day.

"Of course. However, to enhance your strength, the training might be a bit brutal. You're a man, I suppose you won't get discouraged?"

Gavin Clark was still a bit unaccustomed to the way Grace Bennett spoke, but from a human perspective, it was actually very pleasant to hear. Looking closely, Grace Bennett was truly, incredibly beautiful. Following Logan Bennett, he had seen some beauties before, but none could compare to Grace Bennett—not even to her little finger.

"Of course not! I, Gavin Clark, may not be someone important, but I keep my word!"

"Very good. Then, as usual, let's start with getting beaten up!"

Ah... ow... aiyah!

Boom...

Lying in the dust, Gavin Clark decided to take back his earlier assessment—behind that beautiful exterior was the heart of a demoness!

All the magical beasts in the area had been scared away. After such a fierce battle, no monster dared come near. Grace Bennett had no choice but to move with Gavin Clark.

Half a day after the two left, Ethan Bennett woke up, feeling like his whole body had fallen apart. "Thank the gods, thank the monsters, thank the devils, I’m actually still alive!"

Immense joy filled his body, but he was quickly stunned by the scene before him. The nearby forest had been completely destroyed, flattened to the ground, and even so, the air was still thick with a powerful pressure.

That figure, standing proud under the full moon, was firmly imprinted in Ethan Bennett's heart. He had to spread this news. Besides the two emperors, three kings, four evil demons, and five saints, a new powerhouse had appeared on the continent—a great being capable of beating up giant dragons.

Overwhelmed with joy, Ethan Bennett quietly retreated. This was no place to linger; he definitely didn’t want to become a magical beast’s snack.

The barrier between Gavin Clark and Grace Bennett was gone, and their relationship had indeed grown much closer. Although Grace Bennett still showed no mercy in battle, her words now carried more respect, and that was exactly what Gavin Clark cared about. Everyone longs to be treated equally—no one is born to be inferior. Survival of the fittest is true, but there’s much more to life than that.

A special kind of bond was growing between the two. Grace Bennett had never spent time alone with a man before, let alone someone from a completely different background and way of life.

"Is it really that tasty when roasted like this?" Attracted by the aroma of the grilled meat, Grace Bennett asked a little shyly.

Gavin Clark suddenly grinned. "Grace Bennett Miss, I have a very serious question to ask!"

"...Go ahead." Grace Bennett was already mentally prepared. Ever since that big battle, Gavin Clark had become more and more cheerful and lively, giving Grace Bennett a different feeling—but... he also enjoyed teasing people more and more.

"When you eat, do you swallow things whole or... ah, ah, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists, I’m just curious!" Gavin Clark quickly waved his hands. It was mealtime, not time for a fight.

Grace Bennett shot Gavin Clark a glare. "We can directly absorb energy from magic crystals. Otherwise, how much would we have to eat to be full? Eating is just a pleasure, but in this aspect, we really can’t compare to humans." As she spoke, she looked at the grilled meat again. The aroma deeply stimulated Grace Bennett's appetite. This wasn’t her first time out, but before, she’d just taken a quick look around and gone back, never really interacting with humans. Most of what she knew came from what other elders had said.

"Want to try it?"

Of course, Gavin Clark could see right through Grace Bennett's expression. What’s so tasty about magic crystals? Being a dragon is really miserable—no sense of enjoyment.

"Hmph, no thanks!"

Grace Bennett pouted proudly. It’s just grilled meat, right? She could handle it.

A while later, several groundhogs had been roasted to ashes, making Gavin Clark laugh so hard he rolled on the ground. Sigh, such powerful abilities—what a waste not to use them to stoke a boiler.

"Ahem, Grace Bennett Miss, could I trouble you to check if it’s cooked properly?" Gavin Clark handed the grilled meat to Grace Bennett. This little lady was just too proud.

"Fine, since you’re being so sincere, I’ll do you the favor."

Then, two plump drumsticks ended up in Grace Bennett's stomach. And honestly, even the way a beauty eats is so charming.

"Ahem, um, Grace Bennett Miss, it seems like you’ve tasted quite a lot." As Grace Bennett moved with elegance and speed, a fragrant grilled groundhog disappeared.
