43 Mjolnir

The moment that Cray alongside Stan had left, Anastasia with her sister was left with Ye Chen.

"I suppose you have something to tell me." Anastasia with her cold tone questioned Ye Chen. She looked at him warily. She knew that he was still hiding something from them.

It was okay for him to hide some things but she knew that if they were to continue being partners they would need to cooperate, and to cooperate they would need trust.

If this person could not even trust her then how could she trust him back? This was the something simple yet so complicated that most humans failed to comprehend. Naturally, since Anastasia was born and raised as a business-oriented person she knew this point well.

After a few quick seconds of silence, Ye Chen sighed as he slumped his shoulders.

"I don't know why you're so tense. Why don't you relax for a bit and sit down? I'm not going to go anywhere so you can put down that dangerous thing that you're pointing.

His eyes were looking at the gun that Anastasia's sister was pointing at him.

Seeing her own little sister Anastasia widened her eyes and panicked, "Rica quickly put that thing down."

"Eh? Aren't you going to question him?" Rica had a very surprised look. She was supposed to be doing the right thing in this kind of tense situation. She knew that getting the upper hand would likely bring upper hand and would give her sister the edge and to do this, the easiest way was to use force.

Unbeknownst to Ye Chen, Anastasia winked at her little sister while hiding her left hand which was doing a good job sign by having her thumb raised.

Ye Chen placed out a twelve-inch long stick and placed it on top of the table. His actions attracted the attention of the two sisters as they watched his every action.

"What's that?"

Ye Chen's eyes were closed as he was contemplating about how he could possibly make them understand it in the shortest possible time as he knew that they were currently still in a very dangerous position with their rebellion against the Empire.

He then opened his eyes and held the stick and yelled, "Mjolnir!"

The skies began to rumble and there came the sound of thunder followed by the lightning that had appeared to strike down upon Ye Chen and his short stick. Ye Chen's previously dark colored eyes then contained a tinge of an azure blue color as it twinkled under the flashes of lightning light.

As soon as he shouted that, the short stick then elongated into two meters and produced a sharp tip. The previously short stick had turned completely into a spear.

On its blade a series of runes could be seen, if those rune masters from the empire could see this then they would be absolutely baffled by the sight of it. For what was written in it was a compound rune. Not to mention that those runes were not only hard to make, if you accidentally used a wrong combination then it would only spell bad luck.

The compound rune that was embedded on the spear had depicted the name of the weapon, Mjolnir.

Seeing this sudden transformation Rica was amused for a second because she had a fleeting thought that this uncle must have known how to use magic tricks.

If those respectable rune masters could hear this then they would probably cry their eyes out because all their life's work was just described as a magic tricks on the eyes of this little girl.

Meanwhile, Rica was not just thinking of silly things as this time she had already pointed out a loaded gun in front of Ye Chen aiming at his head ready to shoot any time that he makes a reckless move.

After seeing this reaction Ye Chen was finally satisfied as he let go of the spear and explained to the both of them.

"You see that? The first time that I was able to use that spear was when I opened the box. At that time a small explosion had occurred and I accidentally turned all of my clothes into charcoal."

"What! So, you were planning to give out such a dangerous thing to Cray?" Anastasia quickly blurted out.

"Well.....alls well ends well? Nothing bad happened right? I just thought that since he's the Einder Descent something might happen. Afterall this box had come from the Great Einder himself."

Ye Chen then scratched the back of his head. He was a bit expecting something to happen but at the end, he was let down when Cray showed him the empty box.

After Ye Chen had finished explaining, a question had formed on Anastasia's head. "Wait, didn't you just say Mjolnir? Wasn't that THE God Thor's hammer?"

Seeing Anastasia's exaggerated way of speaking Ye Chen chuckled and nodded his head. "It was Thor's hammer, but when he fell so did his hammer. It was merely reconstructed with the remaining shards of the Uru metal that was scattered and reforged by a dwarven blacksmith. As for how I get my hands on it, that's a story for another time."

He then stood up and made the spear turn back to its small stick version. He then carefully placed it on a sheath on his waist.

His current eyes that had a tinge of blue once again reverted back into its previous dark color.

"I hope this would clear up the small misunderstanding that we had earlier. I look forward to out continuous cooperation from now on."

He then turned his back as he walked farther away from them.

"I'm going to check up on Cray real quick."

His back then vanished which left the two sisters all alone in the room.

Anastasia felt a bit impressed. At the same time she also felt a bit ashamed. She noticed how petty she seemed.

After that, she quickly regained her cool as she noticed her sister looking weirdly at her.

"Is something wrong?" She asked with her head tilted in a cute manner.

"It's nothing." She then ruffled her hair as she chuckled.
