Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 675 - 676: Father

"Oh? Is that so? Then why could the Seven Sins find Xiaolu but not him? Could it be that your security measures for him are even more rigorous than for Xiaolu, that you must really love him that much." Hao Jian said sarcastically, clearly sensing a loophole.

"I..." Moon Goddess Jiang still wanted to make excuses.

But Hao Jian seemed to have anticipated this and pressed on, "Is Xiaolu my daughter?"

Moon Goddess Jiang was visibly shaken, her face filled with shock. "Why would you think that?"

"Intuition!" Hao Jian said gravely. "From the first time I saw Xiaolu, I felt a deep bond with her. At first, I thought it was because she was your daughter, but today I realized that was not the case at all."

"Do you know how I managed to find Xiaolu among so many vehicles?" Hao Jian's gaze was piercing as he looked at Moon Goddess Jiang, but he didn't wait for her to answer and continued, "I don't know how I did it, but I just knew she had to be there. It's also an instinct, or rather a blood-bond instinct!"

"Moon Goddess Jiang, you say we're neither kin nor kind, so why do I feel this inexplicable and peculiar connection with her?" Hao Jian asked with a cold smirk.

"I... I don't know." Moon Goddess Jiang hurriedly lowered her head, her face written with unease.

"Do you really need me to take a paternity test with her before you'll admit it?" Hao Jian said icily.

Moon Goddess Jiang sighed, knowing she could no longer hide it. She had calculated everything, but how could she have foreseen the blood bond between father and daughter?

For someone exceptional like Hao Jian, his perceptual abilities were also sharper.

"Are you admitting it now?" Hao Jian sneered, feeling furious at this point. Moon Goddess Jiang had actually kept such an important matter from him.

"Yes, Xiaolu is your daughter. Her full name is Hao Lu." Moon Goddess Jiang replied with an ugly expression, knowing she could no longer deceive Hao Jian, so she laid out everything.

"Why hide it from me? Do you think I'm not qualified to be her father?" Hao Jian asked with an unfriendly expression.

"Neither you nor I am qualified," Moon Goddess Jiang said with a bitter smile, her and Hao Jian's hands were stained with too much blood and sin, unfit to be parents. "I named her Hao Lu because I hoped the homophone would symbolize her stepping onto a good path and not going astray like us."

"If that's the case, then why did you choose to have her in the first place?" Hao Jian said angrily, puzzled at the same time. He clearly never had that kind of relationship with Moon Goddess Jiang; how could she have a child with him?

At the mention of this, Moon Goddess Jiang blushed and stammered, "Well... how would I know you were so capable, that you would get it right in one shot."

Hao Jian was struck dumb. Was this woman being shy?

Then, Hao Jian's expression became rather strange as he said, "Hang on, when exactly did you sleep with me? I have no memory of it at all?"

"Can't you phrase it more nicely?" Moon Goddess Jiang said, infuriated. What did she mean by sleeping with Hao Jian?

Immediately afterward, Moon Goddess Jiang said shyly, "It was the night before you left the country. We were both dead drunk that night, and while you were asleep, I just..."

Hao Jian was taken aback and said, "I thought of you as a brother, and yet you were trying to get on me?"

Moon Goddess Jiang bit her lip tightly, her face full of embarrassment. Did this damn guy even know how to speak, making it sound so pathetic?

"Tell me, when did you start harboring ill-intentions towards me?" Hao Jian pressed.

Moon Goddess Jiang, with a darkened face and clearly displeased, said, "It started a long time ago; you're just too dumb to notice."

She had always liked Hao Jian but never expressed it until he was about to travel abroad. That's when Moon Goddess Jiang decided to do something and slept with him the night before he left.

"So now it's my fault?" Hao Jian was immediately indignant. He was obviously the one who was taken advantage of, right?

"How was I to know whether you'd come back after you left? I thought that even if you didn't, I'd have some beautiful memories. But who knew I'd get it right the first time? Once I was pregnant, I couldn't just have an abortion, right? So I had no choice but to have the baby," Moon Goddess Jiang said with a sense of victimhood. Who would think she'd get pregnant? After all, once pregnant, you have to give birth, right?

Hao Jian covered his face and sighed, "Didn't you know you had to wear a condom?"

"I didn't know at the time. I had never done it before; it was also my first time, you know." Moon Goddess Jiang felt even more aggrieved. At that time, she was so flustered she didn't think about using protection.

After she had slept with him, she herself was so panicked that before she could even deal with the severe pain downstairs, she just fled in disgrace.

"So what are your plans for me and Xiaolu now? Are you really going to let her grow up fatherless?" Hao Jian asked, frowning.

"You just continue with your life without any psychological burden. The reason I didn't want to tell you is because I didn't want to ruin your current life," Moon Goddess Jiang said with a wry smile, having already been accustomed to raising a child on her own for many years.

"Bullshit! That's my child; you think I'll just ignore it?" Hao Jian said angrily. If he hadn't known, that would have been one thing, but now that he did know, he had to take it seriously.

Even without Moon Goddess Jiang telling him, Hao Jian knew how difficult these past years had been for her. Transforming from an assassin to a mother was not easy.

Moon Goddess Jiang struggled alone raising the child, leading Dragon Tooth on one hand, and fearing on the other that Xiaolu's existence would be discovered. She had always been giving, but he had been avoiding his responsibilities for many years. Even if it wasn't voluntary, Hao Jian still felt guilty.

"Tell Xiaolu that I am her biological father!" Hao Jian said to Moon Goddess Jiang.

"Do you plan to acknowledge her?" Moon Goddess Jiang was utterly shocked.

"Is that even a question? My daughter, can't I acknowledge her?" Hao Jian rolled his eyes. As a man, he should take the responsibility that was inherently his.

Tongtong was pitiable because she had no father. Hao Jian didn't want Xiaolu to end up like her.

"But you have a new life now, you... you even have a wife. If you recognize Xiaolu, how will you explain it to your wife?" Moon Goddess Jiang expressed her concern. She was happy, but she didn't want to cause trouble for Hao Jian.

"Do I need to explain it to her? Is she the head of the family or am I? I'm not boasting, but at home, my word is law. If I say go east, she wouldn't dare go west; if I say turn left, she wouldn't dare turn right. No need to worry," Hao Jian confidently slapped his chest and boasted.

Moon Goddess Jiang gave Hao Jian a deep look, then said, "Never mind, I'm actually quite fine bringing up Xiaolu by myself."

"Are you looking down on me?" Hao Jian immediately glared, feeling particularly annoyed.

Moon Goddess Jiang didn't respond, but her expression made it clear she was questioning him.

"Anyway, I'm going to recognize Xiaolu, and no one can stop me," Hao Jian coughed guiltily.

"Alright, we can talk about this later. Let's go out now. We've been chatting here long enough. If we don't go out, they'll start to suspect," Moon Goddess Jiang said to Hao Jian.

"Wait..." Hao Jian suddenly called Moon Goddess Jiang to a halt and looked at her somewhat shyly.

"What is it?" Moon Goddess Jiang asked, puzzled.

"Well... the time before, when you 'slept with' me, I was unconscious, so I didn't feel anything. Could we do it again when I'm awake?" Hao Jian rubbed his palms together, speaking timidly.

"Bang!"

At that moment, everyone saw Hao Jian flying out of an alley and then crashing heavily onto the ground.

Right after that, they saw Moon Goddess Jiang emerge from the alley with a somber expression.

"Boss, why did you hit the founder?" The Dragon Tooth members were stunned.

"Do you even need to ask? Some jerk must have pissed her off again," Yu Jiayi said with a cold laugh.

"What are you all doing? Who gave you permission to act? Moon Goddess Jiang, do you dare to defy a military order?" Just then, a grating voice rang out amidst the gathering.

A middle-aged man in military attire walked over with a group of soldiers, pointing at Moon Goddess Jiang and her group as he yelled.

"Who is he?" Hao Jian couldn't help but ask Moon Goddess Jiang.

"Ye Fenglin," Moon Goddess Jiang replied with a grimace.

"A Ye family member?" Hao Jian's eyes narrowed as he quickly understood, "Is he the one thwarting our rescue?"

If the entire Dragon Tooth unit had moved out, Xiaolu might have been rescued sooner, but it was this Ye Fenglin who interfered, preventing Moon Goddess Jiang from deploying Dragon Tooth members and nearly causing Xiaolu's death.

So now, Hao Jian was furious. Ye Fenglin had almost killed his daughter.

"That guy holds a director position at the Ministry of Defense and has a high status in the Ye family," Moon Goddess Jiang warned.

"So what? Since we are already enemies, there's no need to care about who he is anymore," Hao Jian scoffed and then walked towards Ye Fenglin.

Moon Goddess Jiang just sighed and hurriedly followed Hao Jian's footsteps.

"Moon Goddess Jiang, are you seeking death? The nation entrusted you with Dragon Tooth, a top-secret military unit, not for you to act recklessly!" Ye Fenglin lashed out at Moon Goddess Jiang viciously.

"I think you've misunderstood. I did not use a single Dragon Tooth soldier to rescue my daughter, and it wasn't our people who acted. I'm just here to collect the corpses of those outsiders," Moon Goddess Jiang said emotionlessly.

"Do you think I would believe you?" Ye Fenglin sneered. He didn't care if what Moon Goddess Jiang said was true or not; his goal was to smear her, make the higher-ups doubt her, and gradually marginalize her.

Currently, the Ye family and Hao Jian were enemies, and since Moon Goddess Jiang was friends with Hao Jian, she naturally ended up on the Ye family's target list as well.

"Whether you believe it or not is your problem, I don't care." But Moon Goddess Jiang remained indifferent. Her daughter had already been successfully rescued, and she didn't care what Ye Fenglin thought.

"Moon Goddess Jiang, you're so arrogant. Are you not afraid that I will report your abuse of power for personal gain to our superiors?"
