Capítulo 11: Certified specimen

Gregory Payne was a man of culture, he believed in salmon city's oldest trade. Slave trade. He had never understood why the slave business did not thrive in bigger cities, to him the business was heaven sent. But that was not why he sold his son, that story was more complicated than than it seemed and even though he knew of the possible, NAY, certain consequences of his decision, he did it gladly, just to spite that person.

He had expected the useless boy to die in the slave house, the poisoned food should have taken care of that, he had been told it was slow acting but effective. But the little bastard survived.

Then he planned to bid for him through an intermediary and then kill him through said intermediary however, that whore bid 1000 gold coins for him, but at least he expected her to get the job done and suck away his essence leaving him as a dried husk. Preferably mummified.

"*sigh* wish I had that bastard killed instead of sold, I hate putting my trust in people"

A knock on the door and an invitation from Gregory later, a tall woman walked into Gregory's study, she had brown hair and brown eyes and her face was barely above average, but to her credit her legs were very attractive, Gregory was practically drooling as he stared at them.

"Darling, I told you not to stay up late again" the tall woman said striking a pose that highlighted the long legs she knew her husband was so fond of.

"I just need to go through these reports from the mines and then I'll come to bed, Lillian"

The Payne family earned their fortune through gold mining.

"Have you heard the latest news?" Lillian Payne asked as she sat on Gregory's lap with her legs crossed over the side

"No I've been a little distracted with work...among other things" Gregory whispered as he trailed his hand up Lillian's legs obviously getting 'excited'

"Apparently, Master Swanson now has an apprentice" Lillian cooed

"I thought he vowed not to have one, what or more accurately, who could have changed his mind?" Gregory was truly curious, he wished to be on the runemaster's good side. It could be instrumental in his mission to become mayor of salmon city.

"The identity has not been verified but he seems to go by Hal" Lillian said cautiously

"Hahaha hahahaha" Gregory laughed and Lillian became concerned about his mental wellbeing

"You think it's him?, No it is not possible" Gregory said with conviction

Lillian shrugged "Sure. but you know what is possible? You drop all this work, come to the bedroom and I will rock your world, how about it?"

"Sounds like a plan"

....

Hal woke the next morning to Melinda clinging to his body breathing evenly with a smile on her face, he smiled back at last night's memories especially the part where Melinda stopped acting like the virgin she was and took charge. For Hal, while it felt incredible he also felt insatiable, it was like something was hungry inside him and Melinda became an all you can eat buffet. The longer they went the more stamina he seemed to gain, also the more astute his senses were and he felt he was absorbing something from Melinda and she was doing the same to him, however what he was giving to her was definitely lower than what she gave him. Untangling himself was not easy but he was able to free himself without waking Melinda up. Hal stood in front of the mirror and surveyed his physical changes.

'Whoa, the only thing you had going for you before was your face but now I can call you a certified specimen'

While grimiore did not pull his punches he was right, Hal no longer looked malnourished but seemed to have hit a growth spurt, he was a couple inches taller with the medium muscled body of an athlete, he had a firm six pack and his package had gotten bigger but hal was not looking at all this instead he focused his perception inside his body and could feel the essence he got from Melinda and he knew he could use it to improve his cultivation but since he moved from inability to cultivate to 3rd stage of Energy sensing realm just yesterday, he decided to keep it for later.

He was about to return to bed when he noticed another improvement. His bloodline was stronger whatever it was, hal was absolutely convinced that everything that happened was because of his bloodline, a bloodline that helped someone to become a sexy hunk and steal the essence of females is a little perverted but 100% freaking awesome!.
