I hear loud and rushes footsteps coming towards the healing room and my body unconciously tightens as I raise my right hand in front of me and I feel a slight warmth coursing through my veins. The figure that comes into view looks similar to Kate, but taller and more muscular. As our eyes meet the fire rune on my hand flares casting a flamethrower like skill. From where I stand a thick torrent of red flame erupts going straight for the woman. I see James' figure flash and both he and the woman disappear just as my flames connect with the corridor in my line of sight. After 4 seconds of fire magic the rune dies out and I put my arm back to my side. Kate looks at me with pure shock in her eyes and I see Aradon a few feet to my right standing also with a shocked look in his eyes. James and the woman reappear a foot in front of me and I see another notification: [Kate's older sister and James' first child. Zoe Race: Demon Lv ???. Fighter lv ??? Monk lv ???]

Zoe detaches from her father and punches my head with so much force I'm ripped away from Kate and land on the floor enveloped by weariness. The blow was so fast I couldnt react and I feel a sense of fear and anxiety envelop my body. Zoe's hands grab me and then she hauls me up my the scruff of my shirt with a dark expression on her face. She says "You brat, while this oneechan was running to check your condition you suddenly attacked me with magic!". I clap my hands in a gesture of prayer saying "Elder sister this one apologizes, I didnt mean to attack you consiously. Please forgive me". She hmph's then a cruel look appears in her eyes as she says "Alright..but you'll owe me one favour". I nod twice quickly and she lets me go telling me her name is Zoe. To that I nod once and Aradon says "Damn son. If that had been blackfyre her ass wouldve been roasted!". I glance at him showing a grim expression then turn back to Zoe who wears a sleeveless vest and khaki trousers. I see that her right arm is slightly scarred, I frown and grab her forearm most likely with more force than was expected. Multiple windows flash through my brain and I breathe in as I recall the information. Light green energy seeps out of my left hand healing her arm quickly. I let go of her arm now that its healed and turn to Aradon. I draw out 5 large blue backpacks and 20 light green backpacks from my storage and drop them on him. His form crumples and I ignore him. I turn to Kate, Zoe and James and give them each the same amount of healing pills but in the form of storage rings. Aradon gasps for air greedily as he escapes his medicinal prison. "You damned brat!! Are you tryna kill this old man? You could have given me a storage ring like you did them or drop it before me-", he abruptly stops and looks at the bags then takes in a sharp breath as he sees the colour of the bags. Blue for the highest grade healing pills and light green for medium grade healing pills. Blind rage and fury burns in his eyes as he stands and starts shouting profanities at me "YOU FRICKING STUPID ASS BRAT!! DO YOU REALIZE HOW EXPENSIVE THESE PILLS ARE AND YOU'RE GIVING EM OUT LIKE FREE CANDY!!" I turn a cold gaze on him as I reply "Hmph, if I dont give these pills to family whats the use of keeping them for myself?. I still have quite a few of each left anyway so doesnt make a difference to me" then I shrug. Aradon starts shaking, most likely with rage. After examining the pills the other three also gasp in amazement and James says "Damn...even with my skill in the healing arts it would be impossible to craft these". I grunt as I see that my clones have all disappeared then Zoe says something which shocks me so bad I almost faint "Heheheh. Kate the kid is paying us your bride price". My body grows cold with fear immediately and I feel Kate's gaze on me before she says "As I told you before you idiot. A bride price isnt necessary. Either way I've already given Jay 70% of my companies and wealth, hahaha I dont even care about wealth anyway!". I shiver again, I dont look at either Kate or Zoe but look at James "What are they talking about?" Aradon speaks up "Hah you wanna act like you dont know?!". Then he blanks before saying "Ahh, I didnt tell you did I? Your family, Kate's family, Kate and you signed a marriage contract before". Now I blank out thinking "What the....'. Angered so bad I see black auras surrounding Kate and Zoe they pounce on Aradon and start beating him up mercilessly, very soon the sound of breaking bones along with agonized shrieking can be heard and in another situation I would have laughed at him. James puts his hand on my shoulder and I see that he's smiling warmly at me. I shake my head clearing my mind then I ask "Pa, what do you suggest I do?" He thinks before saying "Hehe, well you dont really have any option but to marry her...the most I can do is delay it abit" I nod once then see that Aradon's life force is weakening drastically. I walk over to the 2 fiends and touch their backs lightly. Light green energy seeps through my hands and into their bodies; at once they become calm and stop their violence standing as one then they turn to me. Dark light flashes through Kate's eyes and she adopts a fighting stance, I quickly backstep as a growl comes out Kate's mouth "I wanted to give you 95% but father said he'd commit suicide if I did". 'Ah so its not me she's pissed at..good'. I shake my head "I dont want any of it, keep it". I attempt to smile but a hand grabs my crotch and applies pressure which makes me groan - Kate's. Her mouth is close to my ear when she says "65%" I say "40%". Kate growls deep in her throat then says "50%". I feel like if I dont accept this generosity I may not be able to function properly in future... "Deal". The pressure lessens and I sigh in relief then I see 2 notifications:
