After settling the two dead bodies of the Purple Crow members, Lin Huang frowned. Lin Xin could not use her identity anymore or else the Purple Crow would come to look for her again if the both of them did not return after a month. No matter which foothold they were going to, Lin Xin couldnāt use her identity to book tickets. If she did, the Purple Crow could easily discover her.
Lin Huang then called Yang Ling. Yang Ling picked up his call while yawning. He looked tired.
"So have you decided on which foothold youāre going to stay at?"
"No, Iād like to order a new Emperorās Heart Ring from you." Lin Huang wanted to get Lin Xin a new identity.
"Helping your friend again?" Yang Ling did not find that odd.
"I guess you can say that." Lin Huang nodded.
"No problem, which one would you like?"
"The one that costs 100 Life Crystal will be alright." Lin Xin would still have to study at the Hunter Reserve College for half a year and take the graduation assessment before furthering her studies in the prestige school. There was no need for her to use a hunter identity, she only needed the one suitable for an ordinary person.
Yang Ling nodded, "Same thing. Send me the name, age, and photo." "Do I send it to the usual address?"
"No, please send it to Snow City, Iāll pick it up myself." Lin Huang had his own arrangement.
"I will send you the details later, after five oāclock."
"Sure." Yang Ling did not ask further.
"Oh yeah, can you make fake school transfer applications as well?" Lin Huang asked.
"Hardly, but itās a simple process. Let me know which school you want to transfer to and Iāll make one for you for free since itās cheap." Yang Ling was generous.
"Thank you then. I will send both sets of information to you t around five oāclock."
After some hesitation, Lin Huang decided to ask Yang Ling about something that was on his mind, "Thereās something that Iād like to ask you..."
"Do tell." Yang Ling frowned before nodded.
"I escaped from the Purple Crow by faking my death. If they found out that Iām still alive, will they have ways to find me?" Lin Huang decided to tell Yang Ling the truth.
"Theoretically, Iām not supposed to intervene in the personal problems of my customers. Iām just the one creating fake identities for them. However, since your question is within my field of professionalism and youāre my regular customer, Iāll answer you this one time. As long as you do not guard the privacy of your personal details, they can find you in many ways. There are only two ways to prevent that.
One is to avoid from appearing in places that require you to scan your identity. Another would be to tighten the security settings for the privacy of your personal details.
Lin Huang frowned as he listened but decided to ask, "Which level of privacy is safe enough?"
"Youāll need at least a senior executive officers rank or be on the intensive training list with the Hunter Association because the privacy setting is the same setting that senior executive officers use."
"Can you do that from your side?" Lin Huang asked while he frowned.
"I canāt do it..." Yang Ling shook his head. "Thereās only a limited number of ways to get into intensive training or become a senior executive officer in any division. The Hunter Associationās system would conduct spot checks every year. Youāll be exposed easily. I suggest you use your fake identity after youāve moved away."
"Is there no other way?" Lin Huang did not want to give up.
"From my experience, thereās no other way." Yang Ling shook his head while he opened a page in front of Lin Huang, "Let me show you. Your identity is ranked under the regular rank in the Hunter Association. I could easily hack into the system or the Union Governmentās system to get your personal details..."
Just when Yang Ling was ready to show Lin Huang, he realized that he could not find anything about him, "Eh, what happened?"
"Whatās wrong?" Lin Huang did not understand what Yang Ling wanted to show him with the blank page.
"Hold on..." After a couple of attempts, Yang Ling still could not find anything about Lin Huang. Later on, he finally found Lin Huangās details after using a unique technique. He then looked at Lin Huang, "Hey, were you listed in the intensive training list?"
"No." Lin Huang shook his head, "Iām just a Gold Hunter, I did not pass the final review for intensive training."
"That means somebody did something to your privacy settings." Yang Ling was sure, "Your privacy has been upgraded to that of a senior executive officerās rank. People below that rank will not be able to access your details. It has been done officially as well and the person who applied this setting for you was Li Mingzheng. I didnāt know that you had such a powerful background."
"Who is this Li Mingzheng? Why did he upgrade my privacy rank?" Lin Huang thought it was strange, but soon, he thought of his master Mr. Fu, "Perhaps master got somebody to do it?"
Lin Huang thought about it again, that was the only possibility. Although Mr. Fu was not a member of the Hunter Association, from the assessment, it was apparent that he was close to the Hunter Association. To protect Lin Huang, he got the association to protect his privacy. He was the only one who would do that.
"That means I donāt have to be worried that the Purple Crow could find me?" Lin Huang asked.
"That right. With your privacy rank now, thereās no need to worry. In the Hunter Association, only senior executive officers or people whoāre ranked higher than them could gain access to your details. Outsiders, Union Government included, cannot get access unless they get an approval from Li Mingzheng." Yang Ling nodded.
"You got through, are you sure others will not be able to get access?" Lin Huang was skeptical.
"Heh. Itās different for me, my case is unique. Donāt worry, outsiders wonāt be able to access your personal details unless the Purple Crow has a spy whoās ranked at the senior executive level or higher. Else, theyād never find you." Yang Ling gave Lin Huang a firm answer.
Lin Huang had no idea that his privacy ranking was so high. "Alright then, Iāll trust you. Thanks!"
"If thatās all, Iāll hang up now. Send over the details of the new identity and school transfer application as soon as you can."
"That will be all. Iāll send both to you later." Replied Yang Ling.
Lin Huang felt a deep sense of relief after the phone call ended.
It was after five oāclock in the evening when Lin Xin came back from school.
"Xin Er, bring your stuff. Weāre leaving Wulin Town tonight." Lin Huang said to Lin Xin just as she entered.
"I thought weād only leave a week later? I didnāt even have a chance to speak to my teacher yet..." Lin Xin was shocked.
"I have gotten my friend to apply for the school transfer for you. We need to leave today." After some hesitation, Lin Huang told Lin Xin, "I offended the Purple Crow earlier. They sent somebody here looking for us, and I killed them. If we donāt leave now, thereāll be more people coming for us..."
"Purple Crow... From the underworld?" Lin Xin was shocked when she heard what Lin Huang said.
Lin Huang nodded, "Thatās the real reason why we need to move away, I didnāt expect them to come so soon."
"Iāll go upstairs to pack my stuff then." Lin Xin sensed the urgency and went upstairs. Lin Huang headed to his room as well. After briefing Lin Xuan, he began to pack his belongings up. He spent half an hour to get things done and managed to bring along Lin Xuanās stuff as well. Lin Xuan didnāt have a lot of things to pack. It was mainly clothes and shoes as well as toys and gifts given to him by Lin Huang and Lin Xin.
Lin Huang then went to the balcony on the fourth floor and took the barbecue machine with him. As he walked down, he shut all the doors and windows. When he arrived on the first floor, he grabbed everything he needed. 10 minutes later, Lin Xin had finally finished. Seeing Lin Xin coming down, Lin Huang said, "Xin Er, transfer all your stuff into my Emperorās Heart Ring. You canāt use your ring anymore or the Purple Crow will be able to track you."
"But there are so many credit points I could spend..." Lin Xin didnāt want to waste any of the credit points she had.
"Thatās nothing, silly. The Purple Crow will find out know if you do a transfer, I can make that small amount of credits in your account in just one day." Lin Huang shook his head and smiled.
Lin Xin then placed the stuff on the couch and coffee table and Lin Huang put them away into his storage space. After everything was stored, Lin Xin took off her Emperorās Heart Ring with a heavy heart and gave it to Lin Huang. After all, she had been wearing it since the day she came to this world. Lin Huang, on the other hand, did not have any feelings towards the ring. He tossed it on the floor and crushed it.
After throwing the pieces away into the rubbish bin, the three of them left the house. Lin Xin took a good last look at their home while Lin Huang closed the door, shaking his head. He then threw a couple of trash bags into the rubbish bin at the entrance. Lin Huang turned around to look at the luxurious four-story house. He then summoned the Viridian Wolf, and the three of them headed to the east gate.
"Brother, where are we going?" Lin Xin just realized that she had no idea where they were heading.
"Letās head to Li City in foothold No.7C88." After contacting Yang Ling, Lin Huang had made all the arrangements.
"Li City? I know itās not safe in Baqi City, but this foothold is even further away from foothold No.7C86 and No.7C89!" Lin Xin could not understand.
"Yes, itās further but safer. Itāll take us three days to fly there so weāll have to stay in the wild for two days." Lin Huang explained briefly.
Minutes later, they arrived outside the east gate. Lin Huang unloaded their belongings and recalled the Viridian Wolf and summoned the Alexandrian Eagle. He placed two seats on the eagleās back and got Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to ride on it. They headed Li Cityās direction...
