Meeting Mel's father 2

Who are you Mel's father asked suspiciously. Me I'm the reason you even still

have a daughter I'm also the reason you have those cores in your possession.

Zane was waiting for this moment he wanted to see how much he could milk

out the situation.

Your daughter was in a very bad situation she ran into some rogue mages

ones that was no doubt payed off from some nobles.

I just happen to be hunting for heads when I ran into her and saved her life.

being the caring person that I am I offered to escort her home safely.

Although it messed up my vigorous schedule I knew a man such as yourself

would compensate me so I took on the task.

Melisa was screaming inside Zane has no shame using her to no doubt get

more stones from father, Even so she could not explain it but she enjoyed

every moment of being with Zane she was beginning to feel confidence

in herself and trust in Zane.

James Hart was listening to every detail being sure not to miss anything,

ok but how did you help get the mana stones, all she had to do was pick

them up from the guild house. Ahh my Lord that's the best part when we arrived

the Storm family children was already speaking with the guilds Master they had

struck a deal to receive them before we even got a chance to speak with him.

James aura begin to show one from this city knew the amount of stress

and pain the storm family has caused the Hart family. On many occasions

the Storm family has tried to force a marriage between Melisa and the sons

of the Storm family.

What was weird is both sons wanted to be married to her at the same time essentially giving her 2 husband's.

Melisa refused every attempt to do so and in turn random attacks begin

to happen to the residence of the city but everyone knew it was the Storms

behind them. However with no real proof the matter could not be brought

up to the king so for years they have endured.

Finnaly James had enough he put the plan in motion to collect a absurd amount

of peak 1 cores just for 2 peak 2 ones all for a chance to save face he knew the

storm family could not send a powerhouse but only those that has been

attacking periodically.

So if the Storms showed up how did you get them back.

Zane smiles well I kicked Sarah Storm ass for one what did you just say

James Hart said I said I beat Sarah's ass Zane repeated.

James looked at his daughter for validation it's true father she used her domain

ability and I not even see a scratch on him when I came too.

I see wait what was your name again James asked.Zane, Zane Goode

James coughed so you did actually come James looked beside Zane hey

I know you you were their the night that women visited me.

So you finnaly remember me haha yes you made such a impression on Lady

Atena she knew your daughter would be grow up to be honest and good-hearted

just based solely on the environment you created in this zone z said.

How is she James asked. She went away Zane replied don't know when we will

see her again.

That's unfortunate now seeing you are a bounty hunter I suspect you

would like to get some stones does 1 million suffice.

Zane was wide eyed one million how could you produce that much.

That's a good question we may have no large amounts of dungeons

but we produce 10 times the amount of metal of other zones daily and

ours is more pure and stronger metals.

Very well that will work Zane was trying to hold his excitement

in maybe saving heirs should be his new line of work it's certainly more

profitable.

James believed Zane was gonna be a great Ally but what he was about

to tell the Hart head would leave him speechless.

So the tournament if I win under your family name how much would

you give me James could have coughed up blood how he asked the

question so calmly are you sure you could win no doubt all the nobles

will be gunning for you.

If Sarah was the strongest they have to offer I like my chances besides I

would not go at it alone.

Your guardian is to old to accompany you boy. Um father it's not him that would

enter with Zane but me. What you But daughter your only a tier 1 no

way you can match against them. No father I'm a peak Grade 2 now it's

not my place to tell you how it happened, but I want to make those noble's

pay I'm tired of being looked down on I want to be the one to make them ever

regret messing with the Hart family.

James was surprised and proud to have a daughter like her very well

then these cores you should be the one to use them at least let me help you

that much.

Melisa was overcome with emotions she knew how long her

father had wanted to breakthrough all for the sake of the family.

Ok I'll dish out punishment in your place I'll make sure those 2 sons of the storm

family never ask anyone about marriage again.

Wait do you mean your gonna do that Zane asked.

Sarah just smiled wait and see.
