Why Is It Always Me?

Silence followed Master's declaration. It was Qing Lok who first recovered. "He's your what?"

"He's the son of my daughter."

"YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER?" Wuming bellowed. "But you were an assassin!"

"Doesn't mean I couldn't have a family," Master shrugged. "I made sure I had no records and wiped my identity clean. I made the same with my wife and when we had a daughter, we didn't even bother registering her for one. We lived in the mountains and started a small family there."

It was as if Wuming's face warped. He didn't know if it was the affirmation that it was possible for an assassin to have a family, or because he couldn't believe he was facing someone who had actually done it.
