Bab 364: He's just bluffing!

In New York City, at The Silver Fork restaurant, Maria, who rarely wore makeup, was sitting across from a lean-looking middle-aged man.

"Mr. Edwards, I believe you're already familiar with my situation," Maria said, feeling somewhat self-conscious in front of the middle-aged man. "I am quite satisfied with you, but there's one condition,you must be good to my daughter."

The man, Zach Edwards, appeared to be a wealthy restaurateur to the ordinary eye, but in reality, he was also a Soulmancer and one of the "Chosen Ones."

Maria had met John at a social event. 

John, with his decent looks and wealthy background, had never been married. For a divorced woman like Maria, with a child, finding such a date was rare. She had no grand demands, just hoping to find someone to spend the rest of her life with steadily.

Her only requirement was that John must treat her daughter Amy well,otherwise, she would rather remain alone.
