Bab 438: I Will Protect You

"Maxim?" Kira stepped forward and looked at the man from head to toe. Normally, people would think it was a rude thing to do, sizing up someone openly like what Kira was doing. However, Maxim didn't mind.

He had heard from Emmelyn that Kira was born and raised among pirates. So, he cut her some slack and didn't show any signs of feeling offended.

His ego was not easily bruised by trivial things like this because he was a carefree man himself who hated formalities in the past. He would still prefer blunt people who spoke their minds than those who only talked in sweet words but would stab your back when you were not looking.

Another reason was, Maxim wanted to be on Kira's good side so he could get connected to her father should he need to rule the seven seas too in the future. In his book, having 1000 friends was too few, but one enemy was too many.
