"I would like to apologize to the recent misunderstanding, allow me to ask for any compensation." Tony pleaded in front of the two men looking at him with displeased expressions.
Leslie on the other hand was still crying, she was just a fifteen years old girl yet she messed up big time for making a big mistake inside the mansion.
Technically she wasn't supposed to come but because she's insistent, her father tony was forced to comply.
She's been spoiled by her parents when she was a child and until now ego was still topnotch at being arrogant to those she disliked.
'I never thought this conflict would arouse to this, if only....' Tony starting to regret bringing his daughter to accompany him in this trip yet he failed big time as the Don, the man he was supposed to pleased had already a bad impression into him.
"I already told you that this Valdez guys are bad news, leeches will always be leeches but once you leave any openings they would not hesitate to attack and betray you. Well thankfully we manage to corner this despicable guys, I think we need to put this guys into the prison cell so that next time those guys would think twice before attacking my family.
"I-I'm a-sorry....I'm sorry huhuhu." Leslie's tears flow out as she continued to sob.
"Still how can you harm my son? What if you really killed him with your killing intent? If father hadn't neutralize your water ball, my son would've been crippled by a leech Valdez like you." Uno shrugged the pleading as if he had already made up his decision to punish them.
"Uno, we don't need to go that far. Also I already informed his clansmen of what happen and they agreed to compensate us for the damage." Don trying to stabilize the weather.
"It's easy for you to say, it's not like one of your son was harmed. If I could cripple his daughter, it would've at least my anger would suffice." Uno already had his eyes on a teenage girl trembling at his killing intent.
"Please.... I-I'm sorry" sensing the gravity of the situation Leslie look at Zero waiting for him to save her.
What could have the best course of scenario if a prince saving the damsel in distress from troubles.
Zero who had recently changed his clothes just ignored her. Now he does resemble a young master from a noble clan different from what he used to wear, if Zero knew this would happen, he would've wear a dazzling clothes not to attract attention but to save troubles from being bullied.
'Why would I waste my time saving this brat, nope, it's not like I'm a push over in the first place.' Zero raised his eyebrows.
Leslie saw Zero's lips twitch as he look at her with pitiful eyes, she thought her plan had succeeded in seducing the young master from the well known Landhart clan. If so not only her status will rise but she would also have a lavish life waiting for her in the future.
She hadn't noticed it at first but Zero's face was kinda attractive, well originally Zero's face was normally common but after the alteration from the vitality elixer of life already embedded to his physical constitution and spiritual core, his looks had greatly improved overnight.
"Young master would you give this fine lady a chance?" Leslie blushed while speaking.
"Ugh, it's so annoying, I might have to rest for a while. You see—I hate being interrupted." Zero spoke in a cold tone.
Zero was really annoyed. He wasn't exactly that cruel but the previous owners personality was more harsher than himself, in order to survive, he might have to adapt the previous owners personality to avoid getting bullied.
"So son, are you just gonna ignore this ungrateful leeches?"
"Nah, suit yourself, I just want to sleep." Zero then ask the service to guide him to the guest suite.
**********
Inside the suite where Zero and Tobey were resting.
"So this is how mana works?" Zero observe the mana ball strings dancing in his palms.
After a few minutes he eventually break through to early 4-star aura mana core.
"Come to think of it, that guy Tony used magic on me, could I try being a magic swordman? Since it might be convenient for me in the future. It's not like I'm going to be the next patriarch anyway."
The Landhart was a clan consists of pure aura swordmasters, not a single one had a single talent for being a magic swordman as they believe using magic might hinder their growth speed.
"Well, it's worth it to try" Zero made a resolve to take risks as he felt he couldn't nudge the opportunity.
He already brought a book after he made a stop at the library before going to his suite. He then discover an old worn-out book that are kinda sensitive to mana. He could feel that this book might be special.
Once he opened the book, he then carefully inscribe it. It was an ancient text yet he felt that he could translate the context written behind every pages of the contents.
