Amelia didn’t say anything even though that drunk was threatening her, but it also didn’t seem like the drunk was planning on leaving.
With the way that everyone acted, it really seemed like this was a common thing.
Just from that, one would be able to tell that this was a normal situation.
However, I knew more than that since Amelia was a character from the game.
She was the one that I had come here to see, though she wasn’t the one that I was planning on recruiting. The one that I was recruiting was related to her, but it wasn’t her.
Still, she was related to that person and was part of the recruiting method, which was why she was important as well.
Along with this one drunk that was causing trouble.
This one drunk was actually Amelia’s husband and the one that created the event that allowed the player to take in Amelia, along with her daughter who was the hero unit.
Since they were husband and wife, it was only natural that no one felt comfortable interrupting.
But based on how everyone fell silent and was pretending not to see, it was clear that they were bothered by it. A few of the customers that had been close with Amelia were even clenching their fists when they saw this.
After letting her husband berate her for a while, Amelia finally said, "What happened to the money that I gave you this morning?"
Amelia’s husband acted like it wasn’t a big problem as he said, "I already spent it all. It’s not as if it was that much money in the first place, so it was only natural that it would have been spent by now."
"Not much money?" Amelia repeated in a slow voice.
Her husband just gave a nod as if he wasn’t bothered at all, even though Amelia’s voice was more than enough to tell everyone that it wasn’t a small amount that she had given him.
The way that the others looked at her showed that they knew that this wasn’t a small amount either.
It was clear that this husband of hers was quite the famous person in this area.
The two of them just went back and forth like this for a while until someone suddenly came running out of the back room.
This figure wasn’t that short, but it was still shorter than the two of them which showed that this was a teenager that came out.
This teenager came up in front of Amelia and raised her arms before saying, "Dad, that’s enough of that. Can’t you see the trouble that you’re causing mom?"
Amelia’s husband narrowed his eyes the moment that he saw this teenager.
After all, this teenager was also his child.
But I also paid attention to this teenager since she was the one that we had come to find.
This girl was someone that was destined to become one of the greatest shield knights in the future after all. She was an elite hero unit that one could build their entire team around.
That was why I was determined to recruit her.
However, since she was so special, it meant that there was a special method that was required to recruit her. Instead of just directly recruiting her, one had to deal with the family mess that she had.
Namely, this drunk who was her father.
"Olivia, that’s enough." Amelia said while reaching out to pull this girl Olivia back.
But she didn’t move an inch as she just stood there in front of Amelia, as if she was determined to protect her mother from her father.
"This child!" The drunk seemed like he was angered because of the way that Olivia acted around him.
After all, this was his child and she was acting up against him.
For a man that was at his level, it was only natural that he would feel this way when he saw Olivia acting like this.
"It seems like she still had this personality when she was young." I couldn’t help thinking to myself seeing the way that Olivia just firmly stood there even though her father had raised his hand as if he was about to hit her.
But I wasn’t planning on interfering.
For the sake of recruiting Olivia, I couldn’t interfere right now.
Even the others that were in the inn were just planning on watching this happen.
After all, this was a matter between their family and it wasn’t anyone’s place to interfere.
Or that would have been the case if there wasn’t someone that suddenly said, "How can you do something like this? How can you treat your own child like this?"
I couldn’t help knitting my brows when I heard this voice.
After all, I recognized this voice right away.
This was the voice of the little girl who should have been sitting beside me, but she had rushed forward when I wasn’t paying attention. By the time that I saw her, she was already halfway across the room and was already planning on confronting the drunk.
I couldn’t help shaking my head when I saw this, but I also didn’t hesitate to step up.
It was one thing if the drunk hurt Olivia and Amelia, but it was a completely different matter if he was going to hurt Dorothy.
She was my daughter, so how could I let someone else hurt her?
Especially when all she was trying to do was be kind to others.
Since she was my daughter, it was only natural that I would want to nourish this trait and make sure that she grew up to be a kind girl.
That meant that I wouldn’t let anyone trample on her kindness.
"Where did this snot nosed brat come from? Don’t you know not to interfere in business that doesn’t involve you?"
The drunk really seemed to lose his temper when he heard this and he raised his arm to hit Dorothy.
But before he could he found that he was already being restrained.
"Now, now, you should calm down." I said as I held his arm.
