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.
