Weapon seller in the world of magic

The next day morning, at the residence of Song Yun, the security guards were kneeling on the ground while the head of the Song Clan was walking left and right.

He was barely controlling his rage to kill them.

”Tell me, who is the one that assisted my daughter to escape?” His gaze was sharp and a layer of ether energy covered him. Meanwhile, there was a paper in his hand. Something was written on it.

It is the letter Song Yue had written with her own hands, leaving behind it on the bed before she left with Alina. It was done so that her father doesn’t misunderstand that someone abducted her.

The contents of the letter were quite simple. She wrote that she doesn’t like this marriage and she doesn’t have the strength to oppose her father. That’s why she was running away from the house.

If it was the previous Song Yun, he would have thought about how she was doing all alone and felt sad but he seems to have changed ever since he faced defeat by Mark and humiliated himself in public. He became stern with her and started having too many meetings with other clan heads to improve Song Clan’s strength.

Now, along with disappointment, he was also angry at his only daughter who not only went against his decision but also harmed the reputation of the Song Clan. No matter what, he can’t let the news get out as it will give birth to several rumors. And at the same time, he needed to find her and bring her back home in three days.

This is one of the reasons he was trying his rage as these elite guards were also the pride of the Song Clan. Killing them is the same as reducing the clan’s strength but of course, disciplining is necessary.

Song Yun felt like the current situation isn’t favorable for him. So, he didn’t punish them. Rather, he outrightly announced to everyone that he will even forgive them if they come forward and admit the truth.

Unfortunately, none of the guards have any idea. So, everyone denied speaking. And this caused him to change his decision slightly as an idea popped up in his head.

In the end, Song Yun just took a deep breath and pointed at a 5-circle realm expert, ”you, over there, get up.”

”Me?” The middle-aged fellow, who is a member of the branch family, was surprised and immediately kowtowed instead of getting up on his feet. ”Please show mercy, Milord. I swear on the heavens. I really don’t know how the young miss had escaped.”

”Just get the hell up and come forward. I have a job for you.” Song Yun appeared annoyed as he said that.

The guard thought that he wasn’t going to be punished and he got up before walking forward.

”Stand on the side.” Song Yun then continued to pick the people one after another.

About 8 of them, of which three are in 5-circle and five are in 4-circle, gathered at a spot.

Song Yun then looked at the security head that was also kneeling along with the others, ”Cousin Tai, you have disappointed me the most since you were even sleeping.”

”I apologize, Lord Yun. I was careless.” The peak-6-circle expert bowed in shame.

Song Yun waved his hand, ”forget it. Now, please do one thing for me.”

Song Tai looked at his distant cousin.

Song Yun then said, ”Beat up all of them but none of them should die or go into a deep unconscious state. Are you capable of that?”

”Eh?” The eight guards and Song Tai were also surprised by Song Yun.

As the guards begged for mercy, Song Tai mercilessly beat them up to appease his cousin.

Looking coldly at the guards on the ground, Song Yun then said, ”Now, the eight of you, remember this clearly. An unidentified abducted my daughter when she was sleeping and you eight were stationed on the first floor. You tried to stop him but got beaten up. Before Song Tai and others get to the spot, they disappeared by using some treasure.

You will tell the same to his majesty. And if I hear any unpleasant rumor, which traces back to any of you, the culprit will be expected to be thrown into the abyss.”

Everyone shivered in fear and nodded repeatedly.

Very soon, he set out to the Imperial Palace to meet the Emperor to tell the story of her abduction in order to cover up her voluntary escape. He even forced one of his cooks to write a threatening letter that demands his resignation, annulment of the marriage alliance, and 500 thousand gold coins.

Of course, he won’t hand it to Imperial Palace but only show it to the Emperor and ask him to lend troops to search for his daughter.

As for the suspects, his enemies will be included like his cousin Song Chang and other elders, Xu Sect, Nie Clan, Zhang Clan, and finally, Lu Zhen as all of these have the motive to not let Song Clan ally with Ji Clan.

What happens when it proved to be false?

Well, the cook, who wrote the letter, will take the blame and go to prison while his family will be handed enough gold coins to live happily for the rest of his life in some town that is far away from the Imperial City.

As for the real matter, Song Yun suspected that Lin Xue might have helped out his daughter to escape. Can Lin Clan be also involved in this? What if his daughter was taking shelter in Lin Wuying’s Mansion?

So, he decided to activate his spies who were working in his friend’s mansion to find out the truth.

While the news of Song Yue’s abduction spread all over the Imperial City with the soldiers deployed to check everywhere, inside the Genesis Store, Mark and Song Yue were sitting face to face at the dining table as Alina served the breakfast. It was based on Mark’s recipe but perfected by Alina.

One of those dishes was even made by Mark specifically to serve the beauty. But why? To impress her? To show off his cooking skill? Was he trying to show his hospitality to the first guest who slept in his residence? Maybe, he was just in the mood to cook. The reason can be anything and Mark didn’t think much about it and just got into the action.

Song Yue had a look of confusion on her face as she stared at the plates on the table. She was familiar with any dish. She wasn’t even familiar with the utensil in his hand. It looked like some pitchfork, which was used by farmers to lift hay.

”This is called potato pancake.” ”This is called farmer’s breakfast.” ”This is potato omelet” ”This is Bircher Muesli. It’s very good with honey or milk.” ”This is semolina pudding. It’s sweet. So, it’s better to eat it at the end.”

As Song Yue was staring at the unfamiliar dishes, Mark demonstrated to her how to eat with the fork, which was actually created by an assistant robot using stainless steel at his factory.

”If you are uncomfortable with these dishes, please don’t hesitate to say what you want to eat. We have enough ingredients and Alina will cook it for you.” Mark added as an afterthought in case she was craving meat dishes or something familiar.

Song Yue hurriedly waved her hand, ”Ah, it’s alright. I was just surprised to see such breakfast. It looks like everything about you is unique, Owner Lu. It feels as if I’m in a different world.”

”Is that a compliment?” Mark asked her.

As Song Yue nodded with a smile, Mark urged her to taste each dish and tell the one that she likes the most.

She followed Mark’s instructions on how to use a combination of the fork and knife to try each dish lightly. She pointed to the small bowl with the pudding. ”I like this the best.”

”Ah, is that so?” Mark couldn’t hide his smile upon hearing it.

”What happened?” Song Yue asked him. Mark controlled his expression and looked away, ”nothing.”

Alina then commented, ”Semolina pudding was cooked by Big Brother.”

”Ah, really?” Song Yue looked at him in surprise.

”It isn’t much.” Mark cleared his throat and just filled his mouth with the pancake.

As she started eating and even praising the taste, Mark felt a little bit happy to eat with another living being. It’s been a while since he had last done that.

Meanwhile, Alina, who also joined them on her master’s order, watched the two of them. Suddenly, she felt a strange emotion. She felt as if it would be great if she was in the guest’s position and Mark would act the same way with her.

What is this feeling? She wondered.
