《A Demon’s Journey》A Demon's Journey

Many people were watching as Sargan took the father-daughter duo to an empty place. Although they were curious about what they were going to talk about, no one dared to follow Sargan.
Sargan was giving a very menacing feeling to them.
Even Helena and her father were scared. They even had a faint suspicion that Sargan was taking them to an empty place to bury them.
If that really was going to happen, they could only cry out tears of unjust.
Soon, the three did reach an empty place. Sargan stopped and faced the father-daughter duo.
Their faces were filled with anxiousness.
Sargan first decided to relieve them by saying, "You two can relax. I am not planning to harm you. If I was indeed plotting it, I wouldn't need to bring you here."
The two thought about it and felt that his words made sense. It was Helena who asked Sargan, "…Were you looking for me, sir?"
She was still quite nervous.
Sargan nodded and replied, "That's correct. I indeed came to look for you and to make an offer."
He then looked at the man ahead of him, "What's your name?"
"Tore Fontana." The man immediately replied.
"Tore, it's a happy day for you. You know what cultivation is, right?" Sargan asked at the end.
Tore had a blank expression for a couple of seconds before his eyes were filled with Joy.
"Yes, sir. I am aware of cultivation. It's the ability to possess mysterious energy and become stronger. At a high level, a cultivator can destroy a mountain or fly in the skies without a care in the world."
This was a rather rudimentary explanation, but Sargan didn't correct him.
Sargan spoke with a slight smile on his face, "Good. You should be happy then because your eldest daughter Helena possesses the talent to cultivate."
"Talent in cultivation?" The father and daughter duo was quite simply dumbfounded to hear those words from Sargan.
The two stared at each other before huge smiles broke out on their faces.

Tore spoke in excitement, "Is that really the truth, sir? My daughter possesses the talent to cultivate?!"
Those questions could be considered quite rude since it meant Tore doubted Sargan's words. However, Sargan let that go because he knew that Tore was just too excited to give a thought to his manners.
"That's correct. Helena has missed her golden period to cultivate." Sargan spoke sincerely.
He also added, "However, all is not lost. Helena can still cultivate if she begins as soon as possible. She would need to work twice as hard to reach a suitable rank."
"She will begin as soon as possible. Please guide her, sir." Tore spoke without even asking Helena. He looked absolutely thrilled to hear this news.
He knew that the cultivators were normally quite rich. They would be able to afford all sorts of things, and they were also very strong.
Their family would never encounter difficulty once Helena became a cultivator.
Sargan spoke with a solemn look, "Do not be in such a hurry. Listen to my words completely."
Tore immediately tried to suppress his excitement.
Once Sargan saw that Tore had calmed down slightly, he continued, "For her to begin her path of cultivation, she would need to leave the house. She is going to join my friend's sect and cultivate as hard as possible. It would be a very long time before she can see you all."
Tore and Helena's excitement was immediately reduced. The two stared at each other, with Helena having a worried look in her eyes.
"…My family would collapse if I left. I'm putting forth a lot of effort to help my sister get into an art school. I don't want her to stay in this place for the rest of her life." Helena spoke with a determined look.
Sargan remained calm even after hearing her.
"Your family won't be helpless even after you leave. I have an empty villa within sector 8. If you accept my offer, Your family will live in that villa, and they will even be provided with a good stipend every month. How your family decides to use that money is up to them. Also, once you are powerful enough to begin earning on your own, you can send the money to them." Sargan said to her with a calm look.

Helena still appeared to be quite hesitant. Sargan then told her, "You don't need to make a decision immediately. I will give you one day. Think about the offer carefully and discuss it with your family. I will come tomorrow at this time."
He soon asked them to return.
As Helena was returning, she asked her father about it.
Tore was advising her to accept this offer. He knew that if she had no future if she continued to live like this.
She would only be able to earn a feeble amount through these miscellaneous jobs. It won't be enough for her to survive for herself.
Moreover, through cultivating, she could become a powerful warrior possessing a good status and wealth.
After returning to her house, Tore told the entire thing to his wife.
His wife had the same opinion as Tore. She personally knew how hard it was for women to live in this area.
If Helena really became a warrior, life would indeed become a bit easy for them.
Helena eventually decided to accept Sargan's offer after some discussion with her family. She reasoned that if Sargan was speaking the truth and her family was properly cared for financially, she could dedicate herself to cultivation.
The only one who didn't know about Helena's decision was her younger sister Kate.
The family intended to keep this from Kate since they knew how attached she was to her elder sister. She would insist on accompanying her sister.
They planned to tell her only after Helena had left.
~~
The next day, Sargan appeared at the promised time.
As he entered the house, he met with Tore. The man immediately called out for his daughter.
Helena soon left her room with a bag in her hand.
Her choice was apparent to Sargan.
He gave her a smile and then said Tore, "You should pack up and follow me. It's time for you to change your house."
Helena's eyes widened slightly. This meant Sargan was going to keep his word!
Tore and his wife had already packed up everything. They brought out their bags as well and left their house.
Outside the house, they saw a large carriage waiting for them.
Helena couldn't help but stare at Sargan and think 'He knew I would accept his offer and came prepared.'
In truth, Sargan believed that only a fool would refuse his offer if he were in Helena's shoes. Thus, he had come prepared.
Currently, Helena's mother was carrying Kate as the little girl was sleeping right now. It was a good thing she was sleeping since the young girl would have caused a ruckus with her endless questions.
Soon, the entire family and Sargan reached the villa in Sector 8.
When Helena and her family saw the villa, they were completely awe-struck at its size.
It wasn't the first time they saw a large house, but to think that they would be living in such a house delighted them.
Helena looked in Sargan's direction and understood that he was truly rich. She was now more curious about the location where she would begin her cultivation.
After her family settled down, Helena left with Sargan.
Sargan made her sit in a carriage and told the location to the carriage driver. He also handed over some 60 Spirit Coins along with 100 Gold Coins.
Helena's hands were shaking as she held the pouch containing that huge wealth. Even if she combined her family's lifetime income, she knew that it would never reach this sum.
Moreover, when she glanced at Sargan's face, it appeared as if he was worried that he had given her too little and wanted to give her more Spirit Coins.
With that, Helena departed for the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, where Tiana was waiting for her.
She became the second member of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.
