Chapter 5 - An Assasin

When Yu Zhe opened the gate, he saw Jin An in the courtyard, resting with his eyes closed on his wheel chair.

With a smile, he closed the gate behind him.

Hearing the sound of the gate closing, Jin An opened his eyes slowly and looked at Yu Zhe. "You are back."

Yu Zhe nodded and handed him the rice cake.

Smelling the warm rice cakes smell, he smiled.

"So, what do you think of this place, good or not?" Yu Zhe asked as he looked around the courtyard with a half eaten rice cake in his mouth.

"Not bad, well enough for both of us." Jin An replied as he took a bite of the rice cake.

Yu Zhe also looked around to see. After that, he also nodded in agreement.

"And what about the inside?" Yu Zhe asked again.

"I don't know about that. I have not been inside the house." Jin An said and shrugged.

Yu Zhe decided check out the rooms by himself. With his half eaten rice cake in his mouth, he walked towards one of the room.

After he checked out all the three rooms, he came out with a satisfied expression.

"Well, everything is good enough for us. There is one bed in each room, except for the kitchen. And they even have good mattresses. We don't have to worry about not being able to sleep due to hard bed." Yu Zhe said while looking excited.

For the first time in his life, he doesn't need to report everything and do whatever those damn bullies told him to do. So he was pretty excited.

Jin An looked the foolish face of Yu Zhe and shook his head with smile.

"OK, start cooking dinner. We have many things do tomorrow. So we need to get up early." He instructed Yu Zhe.

Hearing that, Yu Zhe looked at the sky and saw that it was approaching evening, he nodded.

Before they arrived at the place, the Jin clan had already sent the ration for the first month. So Yu Zhe and Jin An did not need to buy on their own.

Leaving Jin An outside, Yu Zhe entered the kitchen to start cooking dinner.

For martial warriors, that was too early for them to have dinner. But for short life mortals, it was the perfect time.

Early to bed, early to rise. That is their daily life moto.

Alone in the courtyard, Jin An pushed his own wheel chair towards the stone table in the courtyard.

Since he was alone, he opened the system monitor to check those spiders cemeras.

When he opened it, he saw ten different perspectives looking over 10 different parts of the city.

One just outside his current house, some near the inner city gate, some in different parts of alley.

Jin An looked at all those perspectives, and observed whatever he could see.

After sometime, he noticed that except for the the spider outside his house and the one near the city gate, all those remaining 8 spider cemeras kept on changing their location.

At first he was confused a little. But eventually he understood the reason for that.

Those spiders kept on changing their location to collect as much as information they could at a very fast pace. The reason why the one near the city gate doesn't move is because it simply doesn't need to.

Every now and then, people will always come and go from the inner city gate. So, just by being there, it can collect as much as information.

And for the one outside Jin An's house, it was just guarding.

After thinking for a moment, Jin An decided to replace the guarding with the sparrow surveillance.

Seconds later, the spider outside his house left. And one of the sparrow surveillance replaced its position.

"Is the information data ready?" He asked the system on his mind.

[It is already done. Would you like to check it out?]

"Yes." He replied.

[Information data.

Range: 10 Diameter of Red Tiger inner city.

Information collected: 890 People established.(click here for more details.)]

The speed of the information collection surprised Jin An. It has not been that long since he released those spider cemeras. But already more than 800 people's informations have been collected and stored.

"Wow.. such a fast speed." Jin An mind was filled with amazement.

He clicked to check out the details.

There he saw many informations of many people. Most of them are filled with informations of ordinary people. Only some of them are of martial warriors.

But that was to be expected though.

Scrollling through the information datas, he found that all the informations are deep. Not just some surface rumors.

He found some of the people's deep secrets, including criminal records and other stuffs.

Looking through all those information, Jin An suddenly got An idea on how to earn his spiritual stones.

He is going to earn by selling secrets and informations of people. His idea is to establish a information market.

Thinking of his own brilliant idea, he smiled at himself.

But just those small datas of ordinary people will not get him any of that.

So, he must first collect a whole large information, preferably for all the people in inner city.

As he continued checking the information, the system sent him an alert.

[An assassin's information has been collected. Would you like to check it out?]

Intrigued, Jin An clicked on the information of the assassin.

But when he saw it, his face darken.

[Name: Lu Man.

Martial Realm: Body Tempering Realm, 5 Level.

Occupation: Restaurant waiter.

Part Time Job: Side assassin.

Mission: Tasked to kill Jin An.]

Seeing the information, Jin An felt a little angry.

He just left the clan. And now someone has already send him an assassin.

After cooling his head, he asked the system. "Show me the one who hired him."

[Name: Chen Li.

Martial Realm: Innate Qi Realm.

Occupation: Steward of Chen Clan of Red Tiger City.

Some more details: He has stashed and taken many brides from other people.]

"Chen clan..?" Jin An showed a confused expression. He thought someone from Jin clan would have hired the assassin, because they did not like him or something.

He never expect that it would be Chen clan.

"Why would they do that? I don't remember offending the Chen clan. Or is there any hidden conspiracy I am aware of?" His mind was filled with questions, that answers he does not have.

As he was sitting there showing confuse face and kept shaking his head from time to time, he heard Yu Zhe calling from the kitchen.

"Young master, dinner is ready."

"Coming." Jin An threw back all those questions. And with his normal calm face, he pushed his chair towards the kitchen.

Since the doors did not have any bottom woods blocking his chair, he could easily enter the room.
