"Hangyi is dead…"
The light in the old lady's eyes extinguished but she was much calmer than Lin Huang expected . He was worried that she might not be able to take the news . Nevertheless, she was much stabler than he imagined .
"It's my fault…" The old lady slapped her thigh hard .
"Mom, don't say that!"
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Yin Hangyi's two aunties stopped the old lady from hurting herself further . Lin Huang and Lin Xin were puzzled .
"How is it not my fault?! The fortune teller said that I'm no good for this family . My two husbands are dead . Now, so are my two sons, one daughter-in-law and two grandchildren . If I'm dead, nothing like that will happen to anyone!" The old lady cried and blamed herself .
Now, finally, Lin Huang and Lin Xin understood why she blamed herself .
"What happened, Lin Huang? Hangyi was just traveling with his girlfriend . How did this happen?" The aunty asked Lin Huang as she wanted to change the topic .
"Hangyi and his girlfriend got kidnapped in the White Capital . It was too late when I arrived . Hangyi wasn't dead yet when I got there but there was no way that I could save him . " Lin Huang hid the truth . He had to lie as the less the Yin family knew about the Grandmistress, the safer they would be . They might want to take revenge if he told them the truth . It would be a disaster if the Grandmistress found out about their attempt to seek revenge .
"Kidnap? Why didn't they call us to ask for ransom?" Hangyi's aunt asked .
"The kidnappers didn't want money . They were actually after Zhang Mengmeng as there was something from her family that they wanted . She was a royalty outside of Division7, so she was targeted before she even came to Division7 . It was unfortunate that Hangyi got dragged into this . As Zhang Mengmeng's family couldn't come to terms with the kidnappers, the both of them were killed . Zhang Mengmeng's body was taken away by her family while Hangyi's is my storage space . "
Lin Huang came up with the story and intentionally said that Zhang Mengmeng's family was royalty outside of Division7 as the Yin family was a normal family after all, so it would be difficult for them to get any information that was outside of the division . They would need a massive amount of Life Crystals to get out of the division . A year's worth of Life Crystals was equivalent to one million credit points . Getting to the nearest Division8 or Division6 would cost each person thousands of Life Crystals .
The Heart Network ran individually in every division . Besides people of a certain level, the information of each division was isolated . Normal people would only receive information about the division that they were residing in . If they did not know anyone from other divisions, they would basically know nothing about other divisions for all their lives . They trusted what Lin Huang said as Fatty always mentioned about him and his extensive network as far as the old lady and the others remembered . They had even seen their photos together, so they were not skeptical about Lin Huang at all .
"Can we see…Hangyi's body?" The old lady was sobbing but she heard Lin Huang loud and clear .
Lin Huang nodded and took out Fatty's body . He lay his body on the carpet in the living room . The aunties took a quick glance and looked away while the old lady stood up calmly . She walked towards Fatty's body with her walking stick slowly . Although Fatty was slightly unrecognizable as his face was swollen, the old lady could tell that it was her grandson, Yin Hangyi .
"Hangyi…" She tossed her walking stick aside and knelt on her knees . She looked devastated as she touched Fatty's head lovingly .
"Why did you leave just like that? Didn't you say that you want to be a Food Hunter and make monsters into delicious dishes for your grandma?"
The old lady lost control as she wept and talked to Fatty . Lin Huang's eyes turned red as he watched while Lin Xin wiped her tears quietly . Yin Hangyi's aunts were crying as they stood aside and the atmosphere became gloomy .
Around 20 minutes later, the old lady finally calmed herself down, wiped her tears and looked at Lin Huang .
"Hangyi's face…"
"He was tortured before he died . He must have been protecting Zhang Mengmeng . There was only a sword gash on Zhang Mengmeng's face, nothing else," Lin Huang nodded and explained .
"Hangyi sent me both his dad's and his recipes to me . Those are the only remaining possessions that he has . Let me forward that to you," Lin Huang said to the old lady .
"Did he…say anything before he died?" The old lady asked .
"He said he has a grandmother who really loves him, a great dad and that he met the love of his life . He has no regrets in his life," Lin Huang conveyed what Fatty had said .
The old lady started crying again after hearing that . Lin Huang stood aside while waiting for them to feel better and did not say anything else . Ten minutes later, the old lady had finally calmed down . She stood up with her walking stick and her daughters' help .
"Lin Huang, who are the kidnappers?" The old lady had the plan to take revenge .
"I've killed the kidnapper but I've no idea who they are . I'll get to the bottom of this and give all of you an explanation," Lin Huang said as he did not want to get the Yin family involved .
To the royals, an ordinary person's strength was weak . Even a small royal in the Division7 could kill the Yin family easily, let alone the Grandmistress who mastered the immortal-level Poison Sting . Lin Huang even suspected that the Grandmistress could be from the core zone . It was too bad that he did not get sufficient information about the Grandmistress from Zhang Mengmeng .
"Don't you hope that we get to the bottom of this ourselves?" The old lady managed to understand what Lin Huang said .
"Yes, as this incident involves the royals, it could possibly be one of the popular families from the other ruling, so let me do it . Hangyi is my friend . I'll take revenge behalf of him . One day, I shall chop of the mastermind's head and bring it to your family . " Lin Huang looked determinedly into the old lady's eyes .
The old lady nodded her head slowly as she looked at Lin Huang's conviction .
"Alright then, I shall let you handle that . Hangyi has passed, so we have many things to handle anyway . And Hangyi's funeral…"
Following the old lady's arrangement, Lin Huang and Lin Xin stayed with the Yis for the following two days . On the third day, Fatty's funeral went as planned . After Fatty was buried, Lin Huang bade farewell to the old lady and left with Lin Xin .
