In a gigantic castle that looked like a piece of art in Division2.
A lady in a purple dress who looked like she was in her early thirties sat on a single-seater sofa while caressing a skull with her right hand.
A middle-aged man in a black suit who looked like a butler stood at the door and knocked on the door thrice.
"What's up?" The lady turned her head and glared at the butler.
"Mistress, there's something wrong with Lily's android," the butler said with a slight bow.
"Did she contact you?" The lady in the purple dress raised her eyebrow and asked.
"No, but someone in the laboratory found out early this morning that the signal of Lily's android was cut off. The laboratory said that it was highly likely that it had self-destructed, but they couldn't rule out the possibility that the signal transmitter was malfunctioning," the butler explained.
"Where was she last seen?" The lady asked again.
"In the White Capital in Division7."
"So, she might have failed the mission …" The lady in the purple dress squinted slightly.
"Mother, do you mean that Lily might have been killed by Lin Huang? How's that possible? "The skull in the lady's hand screamed." That guy was only iron-level a year ago. Lily completed her training earlier and her combat strength is now white flame-level. No matter how talented he is, it's impossible for him to fight Lily! "
"Shan Er, it's possible for some geniuses to level up from iron-level to white flame-level in a year. Lily's aptitude isn't very good, so what she did after exhausting all of her potential is nothing compared to a few talented people, "the woman explained with an indifferent expression. "Of course, there might be someone protecting the young man. After all, the Leng family had intervened a year ago. They might be secretly protecting the young man named Lin Huang."
"The Leng family … One day, I'll let them know the consequences of disobeying the Wei family!" The skull's eyes were glowing with a blue glow while its jaw moved.
"Mistress, about this …" The butler asked.
"Send someone to investigate and see if it's really destroyed or if there's some other reason. After all, if the cyborg fell into the hands of the aristocratic families in Division7, it would cause some trouble. The leak of technology is still a small matter, but if it is reported to the Coalition government, we might be implicated. "The woman quickly gave her instructions. "Destroy it as soon as you find it."
"Mother, that Lily …" the skull said anxiously.
"That girl can't even handle such a small matter. What's the use of having her? After you've recovered in two years, I'll get someone to help you find a better girl. "The woman's tone was unquestionable.
"Alright, Mother." Wei Shan gave up on Lily decisively.
"Mistress, should we get rid of that brat named Lin Huang as well?" the butler asked again.
"Don't worry about him. If he was really protected by the Leng family, even an imperial-level might not be able to kill him. Moreover, the White Capital was the biggest city in Division7. If they caused too much of a commotion, it would attract the attention of the Coalition government. Right now, the most important task is to determine the whereabouts of that experimental body. If it's still alive, retrieve it as soon as possible without alerting anyone. "The woman in the purple dress was clearly aware of the importance of the matter.
"But Mother, what if he didn't rely on the Leng family to protect him and killed Lily himself?" The skull Wei Shan could not help but ask.
"That means he's a powerful genius. He's worthy to be your whetstone, Shan Er. Two years later, he'll be your first whetstone. "The lady in the purple dress smiled lightly.
"But Mother, what if I lose?" The skull sounded hesitant.
"If he kills you, Shan Er, that means he's worthy to be part of my collection. I'll kill him myself and make him into a beautiful piece of art. "The lady in the purple dress smiled happily.
Wei Shan's heart sank to the bottom when he heard what his mother said. In the past year, he had been suspecting that his biological mother did not care about his life at all. She treated him as a test subject and he was not any more valuable than Lily.
He could tell from what his mother said that instead of saying that Lin Huang was his whetstone, he was Lin Huang's whetstone. There was only one reason for his existence, which was to test if Lin Huang was worthy to be his mother's whetstone. If he lost, his mother would not care about him but Lin Huang. Lin Huang would only lose his mother's attention if he won. Only then would his existence be more valuable.
"Don't worry, Mother. I'll definitely win!" The skull gave a firm answer.
"I believe that you'll definitely win." The lady in the purple dress caressed the skull and chuckled softly.
"I understand. I'll make the arrangements now." The housekeeper understood what the Matriarch was trying to say, but his eyes did not waver. After all these years, he had a thorough understanding of the Matriarch's temperament. Sure enough, her biological son was just a chess piece that could be abandoned at will.
…
However, Lin Huang had no idea that he had escaped unintentionally.
He contacted Leng Yuexin as soon as he returned from Fatso's funeral. He wanted her to investigate Wei Shan's real identity. However, Leng Yuexin warned him not to look into it as Wei Shan's identity might be related to the core zone.
Later on, Lin Huang resumed his usual routine. He woke up at 6.30 am every day and went to the library at around 7 am He stayed there until 6 pm. He then went to the training room to practice his sword skills until 12 am It was as if nothing had happened for the past few days.
In reality, Lin Huang did not give up on the investigation. He clearly remembered that Zhang Mengmeng once said that Wei Shan was still alive and that he would come back to take revenge on him two years later. Lin Huang was waiting for that day to come. As long as he could capture Wei Shan alive, everything would come to light!
Lin Xin could tell that although Lin Huang looked the same as before Fatso visited him, he was hiding his true feelings by being busy. She could not say much about it as she knew that Fatso was one of Lin Huang's best friends. Lin Huang's sadness could not be resolved with just a few words. All he needed was time.
Half a month went by in the blink of an eye.
Late at night, Xiao Hei's notification was heard in the training room.
"Congratulations, you have accumulated Legendary Skill Star Dome card pieces x 10000. Would you like to combine the card pieces into a complete Skill Card, Star Dome?"
"Yes!" Lin Huang answered without hesitation.
"Deducting Star Dome card pieces x 10000, combining begins …"
"Congratulations, you have obtained Legendary Skill Card, Star Dome."
"Skill Card
"Skill Name: Star Dome
"Rarity: Legendary
"Type of Skill: Sword Skill
"Skill Level: Transcendent Combat Skill
"Status: Available
"Card Remarks: Worth it!
"Worth it …"
It was Lin Huang's first time seeing Xiao Hei giving such a high rating to a card. In the past, the highest rating was' not bad '.
"Now that I've mastered the sword skill, it's almost time to kill the sword type monsters." He had collected the information of the double mutated sword type monsters the day before yesterday. Lin Huang had not set off yet because he had accumulated close to 10,000 Star Dome card pieces. He had a feeling that he would obtain the skill as soon as he accumulated 10,000 card pieces. Therefore, he delayed his departure by two days.
Looking at the time, it was almost 11 o 'clock at night. He had already gotten the Skill Card for Star Dome, so he didn't plan to continue training. He put his sword away and returned to the dorm.
Lin Xin was still awake in the bedroom on the second floor. She knew that Lin Huang was back when she heard the door open. She sat up immediately and put on her slippers. "Brother, you're back so early today?"
"Yes, I'm going out tomorrow. I might be delayed for a few days." Lin Huang nodded at Lin Xin.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Xin was worried.
"Kill some monsters." Lin Huang was telling the truth.
"I'm going too!" Lin Xin said immediately.
