Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter

In the past, Ren Ye was quite skilled with halberds and daggers; having honed them during his time training in his youth. Between the both of them, Ren Ye has always used his daggers a lot more often than his halberds.

That being said, it didn't mean he didn't like using his halberd.

It could be said he preferred his halberds much more than his daggers although daggers were much more versatile in battles.

The halberd, in his world, was wielded by royalty and nobility whereas the low men and guards wielded swords and daggers. The halberd was the symbol of war and dominance in his past.

A halberd cost as much as one's entire life saving as it had to be forged from the finest of metal. Ren Ye was fortunate enough to be given one after having saved a blacksmith's daughter from falling into the abuse of multiple men.

Ren Ye was also quite curious as to what weapon Old Yi has wielded before, "Old Yi, what weapon did you wield before?"

"Mm? You're thinking of buying a weapon?"

Ren Ye nodded his head, Old Yi hummed softly as he appeared to be immersed in his thoughts, most importantly, his past.

"I wielded a war hammer."

"…"

No wonder, his arms were honed and large considering he had to hold a piece of heavy metal in battles. The experiences from his past was still retained in his current form as Ren Ye had observed his appearance closely before in the past.

His eyes and appearances were rather dark gloomy although his attitude speaks otherwise…

"It depends on what element you are. I could say you are very suitable with daggers and bows," Old Yi spoke thoughtfully as he watched Ren Ye's expression carefully.

"I am planning on a halberd," Ren Ye replied frankly as he curled his lips into a cold smile.

"A halberd? Isn't it like a a spear with a wider head?" Old Yi figured out as he nodded his head with intrigue.

"Yes. I am quite skilled with the halberd so I am certain it may be helpful for me," Ren Ye explained his choice with a smile, "It is also an indication of my past."

"Your past?"

"In my last life, deities and royalty are always depicted holding halberds as it symbolized the forbearance and determination of their followers and their faith."

"The head of the halberd is sharp and penetrates the strongest of surfaces which is how the wielders would uphold their followers' faith in them to destroy all obstacle."

"Ah. I'd say I can see why you plan on choosing it. Perhaps it could give you a sense of home?" Old Yi was slightly touched by his story, "Your story reminds me a lot of my home as well."

Ren Ye nodded his head, "That's right."

"Very well, it is your choice."

Ren Ye casually scrolled and looked at the list of items, he found one that suited his vision of description whom he associated with the first halberd he had wielded before.

[Copper-Headed Halberd]

[Forged from the fists of a centaur and one of the strongest metal in Oligarch Universe]

"Oligarch Universe? Sounds interesting," Ren Ye raised his eyebrows with interest as he couldn't help but notice the meaning of the name, "Could it be a world ruled by oligarchs? But with centaurs?"

Old Yi chuckled, "That is a story to study later."

[For war purposes and unique to its native world]

The screen suddenly showed an image in which it displayed a hologram of the weapon in front of him. Ren Ye was slightly taken aback as he took a step back.

The axe blade of the halberd has a present edge, with mysterious engravings across it. The tip of the halberd is tipped with a thin wedge of 17 cm as the back edge forms a large pairs of blades. It resembled the shape of a dragon.

It was bounded to the shaft with a decorative golden ring. The copper shaft was 1.9 meters long as it towered over Ren Ye's head and the grip was encrusted with bluish amethyst.

Ren Ye was extremely impressed by the appearance as he couldn't help but admire the complexity of the build.

"This is one of the most beautiful halberds I have ever seen in my life."

Even the ones the King wielded couldn't be compared to the one in front of him at this moment. He felt he was blinded by the lights and aura it emitted.

Bluish complementing my element and copper having the highest thermal conductivity. It was more than enough for him to decisively choose this halberd.

"Pretty impressive," Old Yi couldn't help but remark as he observed the hologram through his eyes.

The price listed was 3 million coins which was pretty admirable as Ren Ye choose to carefully analyze it.

"This is perfect!"

[The halbert additionally gifts the user the ability to conjure it whenever he desires in the real world and has a fast consistency of absorbing heat than most halberds out there]

Ren Ye has, in his head, decided to buy this as he clicked [Purchase].

[Ding! Copper-Headed Halberd has been added to your inventory!]

Now, he no longer has to rely on needles to kill his enemies when he could just conjure it and chop his enemies' heads off at first glance. Ren Ye was rather satisfied with his choice as he slumped his back against his seat with a content sigh.

Gong Fan was suddenly startled by Ren Ye's sudden drop on the seat, "You look pretty satisfied? Your experience with Ma Zheng went well, I see."

Ren Ye nodded his head honestly as he inwardly thanked Ma Zheng for the contributions he has made for him to upgrade.

"When the Blueroots Ginsengs arrives, I will go and pick them up from your store."

"I want to go home after a long day," Ren Ye sighed with a slightly tired expression, he longed to go home after a long day and analyze what has happened these past few days.

-

Instead of going to Jing Xue's place, Ren Ye teleported back to his old apartment near Wu Qi and Zheng Ai.

Although he has only left for a couple of days, he felt he had gone away for way too long as he entered the building. Unexpectedly, he encountered Boss Tao in front of the building.

He appeared to be arguing with a bunch of teenage girls as they looked rather angry by his attitude.

"Young ladies, that boy isn't here. He went out a couple of months ago, you should look for him elsewhere," Boss Tao spoke with his loudly raised voice, inspiring the anger inside the young ladies' heart.

"You! Why don't you tell me where he went?" One of the ladies was holding her tote bag as she shouted at him in an emotional tone.

"How the f*ck would I know where he went?" Boss Tao argued with the ladies.

Ren Ye felt a throbbing headache as he walked up to them, wishing to walk past them and to his place, Boss Tao immediately noticed him as he raised his head and called his name out.

"Little Brat! You there!"

Ren Ye turned his head toward Boss Tao's usual angry face as he pointed toward him, Boss Tao opened his mouth and spoke in a rather rude tone.

"He is the man who rented that boy's place after he left. If you don't believe me, you should go and ask him yourself."

"Stop bothering me!"

All of the ladies turned their heads as they laid their sad eyes onto Ren Ye, they couldn't help but look at his face with peering eyes. Ren Ye was extremely handsome but his association with their search was much more attractive.

"Sir, do you know the previous person who rented the place before you?"

"Huh?"

Ren Ye was confused and stunned by this question, his eyebrows throbbed slightly as he pursed his lips into a sarcastic arc, "I don't know who they are."

The young ladies looked at each other with understanding eyes before turning to inquire him more, "But this sir told me you knew him."

"Who? Who told you that?"

Boss Tao sneakily left the place in a fit of anger, leaving Ren Ye behind to deal with his mess. Ren Ye was left standing in the front of the building with a bunch of ladies surrounding him.

Ren Ye felt slightly amused by his tenant.

This dude seriously left irresponsibly, leaving me to deal with their questions. Shouldn't he deal with them himself? How am I supposed to know who the previous person who lived in the same apartment as him before him?

"One of my friends used to date him and he got her pregnant."

"…"

Ren Ye wanted to choke on his saliva, looking at the young ladies in front of him. Ren Ye sensed they were in their freshman year in university, he sighed in relief.

At least this isn't a case of something worse, I don't want to be questioned by authority for having ties to this sort of person.

"He left her suddenly and blocked her, we couldn't find him no matter how hard we tried. Our friend is currently struggling to keep her life together as both of her parents kicked her out of the house."

"…"

Ren Ye was speechless as he raised his head and replied calmly, "I really don't know that man."

The young ladies lowered their heads gloomily.

"Sir, if you find a man who goes by the name Li Zemin, please tell us where to find him so we could bring our friend justice."

Li Zemin? Isn't he that dude who accused me of being Uncle Jie's illegitimate son? That bastard!

Ren Ye felt anger flare up inside his nostril as he suddenly stopped them from leaving, he curled his lips into a cruel smirk, "Li Zemin? Is it that newspaper guy?"

"You know?" All of them were surprised.

"I met him once before, he came to JS Company a couple of days ago. I met him there."

Ren Ye told them frankly as he couldn't help but feel mischievous for finding dirt on this guy.

Accusing my legitimacy? Now you got some girl pregnant and left her, I'm afraid once exposed, you won't have any face-to-face me anymore.
