Chapter 236 - Run! (1/2)

(Tom's PoV)

RUN! RUN, TOM! RUN!

That's what I told myself as I moved my feet fast to avoid the slash of the Black Creese tailing behind me. I could just use my chain to deflect it and save my energy, but I lost my mind when the man whom my girlfriend called as her father appeared and put on menacing look on his face.

I had never thought that it would be the way I met with my father-in-law!

He was so protective and possessive of her own daughter that I couldn't really think of anything other than staying alive. He looked like he was prepared to kill anyone who would have an inappropriate thought about his daughter.

Well, if I were him, I would act the same. With a daughter as sensible and adorable as Jane, I wouldn't want mere boy to be with her.

Which was why I had no qualms over how he treated me. It was kind of frustrating about how my first image in front of him was ruined just like that and somehow I doubted it would be any different if we were in a different situation.

Even so, how long should I run from the creese? ToT

Sanji wasn't in any better situation than me, though. The creese somehow could attack us both at the same time even when we went separated ways. Again, it was easy for us to deflect the creese, but somehow we didn't do it.

I guessed it was part of guilty conscience because we did taint his only daughter. However, I had never thought of leaving her alone. I didn't know about how Sanji felt but I knew exactly what I felt.

I loved her, there was no doubt about it. I wanted to stay with her forever, yes, absolutely.

I wanted her and I still do until now.

”Dad, Tom is my senior. I can assure you that he is more than capable of protecting me. You can rest assured. Also, isn't Sanji my fiance? You even talked about it to him and his father before you sent me to college. He is improving himself and I can assure you that he is more capable than you know. They have been taking care of me these months when I was at my lowest. Please, don't do this!” Her clear voice pleaded for our safety rang among the trees.

”Baby, you should know that I have no problems that you have two or three boyfriends as long as they can take care of you. Rules in our society indeed only let woman has one husband, but if you find more than one man is loving you unconditionally, you can always move to the Satu Village and live there. I know both of them are equally important to you, but the thought of two men take you from me when I'm not even done spoiling and pampering you makes me mad. I couldn't help it! I won't kill them, but I need to make sure they know that I treasure you so much that I don't mind hurting them if they hurt you one day.” I heard her father said that righteously.

My jaw dropped as I heard his reply to his daughter. He was so cool that I wished he could be my father-in-law soon. His reasoning was true but somehow he hit the nerve so bad that I wished I could just show him that I could easily stop him.

”Just keep running! Don't let the creese touch you! It can insta-kill you!” I heard Jane shout helplessly.

”Yeah, run, kids! I'm being lenient to you since you have been taking care of her in my place. But, it doesn't mean I will let you off easily. Just run few more laps and stay alive. Jane puts so much hope in you two, with one of you die will mean less flies around my daughter but more trouble for me, so do your best.” My future father-in-law said grumpily.

He looked unhappy, but since his daughter had claimed us, I bet he wouldn't dare to make her sad.
