I treated you as an ally, and you actually wanted my body?
Russell scoffed inwardly. Gaia had underestimated him. He was not some lust-starved fiend like Zeus, unable to walk straight at the sight of beau... beautiful things.
Speaking of which, Russell had to use the Elf Queen as an example again.
Back then, the Elf Queen had tried every possible way to seduce him, yet he had kept his eyes straight ahead and remained utterly unmoved.
