Chapter 111: Fatty Ben’s secret and the letter that seems to fall from Heaven (1/2)

Carefully opening the ugly-looking gift box, Leo then discovered a necklace. Holding it closer to his face, he started to observe how it looked like closely.

The necklace was silver in color and has a shield as its pendant, and it wasn't also the type of necklace usually sold in a jewelry shop either. It was more like Magic equipment or that sort of stuff, maybe?

Well, since his Master gifted it, then it must be something really important, right?

After observing the necklace for a while, Leo then put it on top of his study table before he went to the bathroom to take his nightly bath and afterwards went to bed to sleep.

.....

Right after Leo went to sleep, just right after the time Butler Xiao and Fatty Ben finally returned back to Heart city, the latter quickly bid farewell to the former as he excused himself to go somewhere important.

Inside a dark foggy forest nearby Heart city, Fatty Ben slowly made his way within until he finally arrived in a place with a gravestone covered by a dense amount of grasses in the middle. At this point, the grasses were already so tall that it had already almost covered the entire gravestone itself.

If Fatty Ben didn't know that there was actually a gravestone in this place, then he wouldn't have noticed anything at all.

Putting his hand up in front, Fatty Ben then slowly began cutting down the grass using the big grass scissors he had bought along with him.

”First Young Master, your brother seems to finally find his way back from his lonely road. He had already made more friends and companions this time around, too. If you are still with us, then surely you will also be proud of him, right?” Fatty, Ben silently said while cutting down the tall grasses.

Afterwards, Fatty Ben took out a brush as he began wiping the gravestone soon after, finally revealing the name of the gravestone.

Reinhart Heart... Leo's older brother. A name with 2 hearts which was explained by their parents to simply express that aside from giving his other heart to his future wife, he would always have another one reserved for his younger brother and the other people within his life.

Unfortunately, Reinhart didn't long live enough to even love a woman, since he had died while returning from his journey. So, his other heart seems like it would still remain longing for a woman to love till this very moment.

It was really a tragic story on how an older brother that dearly loves his younger brother hurriedly made his way back to save the latter from the devastation, but only to meet his end along the journey.

If this world had a God, then they sure were cruel for doing such a thing in the two brother's life. Not only did the younger one lost his parents at such a young age, but he had unfortunately also lost his only remaining family member, his older brother, the moment he felt the hope of his return.

Since there was nobody to mourn for, and because Leo doesn't want to make any memento related to them due to seemingly in denial about their deaths. Hence, Fatty Ben could only pitifully make a gravestone by himself to remember the first person he was loyal to, Reinhart Heart.

”Do you know, First Young Master, your younger brother already had 4 beautiful girls living along with him, hahaha. Something even you can't hope to compare to since you had not found any for yourself, hahaha!” While laughing, Fatty Ben suddenly began shedding tears of sadness.

”Hink! Why did you die? No, the question should be, who really killed you? Elizabeth Snow, the person that we had long been suspected as the one that killed you, seems to be innocent. The Young Master even kept her in his villa, treating her really well, something that the real killer wouldn't surely be able to receive from the Young Master!”

”Who... Who really killed you? You saved me when I was lost, so I paid it back by saving your younger brother from being lost too. But, how can I pay you for the new life you've given me now? You're already gone!”

Fatty Ben can't help remembering his past.

Everything started in a street in one particular place of Silver city in the early days of the Silver Kingdom's establishment, where people of different kinds could be found. In particular, Wanted men, Drug Syndicates, Slave Traders, and different, more kinds of people with dark and wicked nature.

In such kind of place, peace seems to be like an unreachable paradise, since no one living in that dark street could hope to experience such sort of thing.

Moreover, clouds up above this street seem darker than the other places, too. Like it portrays how dark and cold the street really was.

That was the place that Fatty Ben had been born to. A really unfit place for a young child. Cruel beyond cruel or dark beyond the dark, the Underground.

Actually, Fatty Ben's parents had abandoned him in the Underground world of Silver city, treating him as if he didn't come from their own.

However, everything had changed when Reinhart found Fatty Ben. It was like Reinhart was a bringer of paradise, saving him from such a dark place.

Suddenly, the dark sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, which raindrops soon after came pouring down, drenching Fatty Ben and seems as if the Heavens were also expressing grief along with him.

”You... How dare you even grieve with me?! This was all your fault from the very beginning...” Fatty Ben suddenly yelled out while staring full of hate towards the raining sky.
