I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 12: First Encounter With Criminals

Fein was returning to his apartment through a dimly lit hallway. He’s sure that his mother and sister are worried sick right now. He simply used the cliché excuse of the various novels he had read, and told his mother that his new job overwhelmed him, and that’s why he wants to take a break and travel to discover himself in order to achieve some peace of mind.

When Fein was about to turn around to go to a carriage that was a long distance away. He suddenly sensed two presence following him.

Fein only just discovered them, but he guessing they’ve been following him for quite some time now. His thoughts pre-occupied his mind, so he didn’t notice their presence, and they were actually skilled.

Fein pretended not to notice them and walked left and right around every corner, trying to shake them off his trail. They are however obstinate and refuse to give up.

‘This is getting really annoying,’ Fein thought inwardly. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows in annoyance. ‘Let’s see what you’ve got.’

Fein looked for a deserted area where they can finally settle this once and for all.

...

.....

He’s now on a quiet dead-end street in the city. Fein turn around to wait for their arrival...

After covering the distance between them and him, there were two silhouettes walking towards him. Fein finally got a glimpse of their appearance. Let’s start with the one who appears to be the more powerful of the two.

He is a long-haired man with nose piercings, an oval-shaped face, the luster on his skin, and a tattoo on his right shoulder that appears to be a logo of the devil with two horns. Contrary to his appearance, he has well-kept skin and a neat fashion sense. The other is a balding man with a scar on his face. His brows are as sharp as a sword, he has a well-pointed nose, and he has a cruel expression on his face. His body is buff, and some of his muscles looked swollen like balloons.

‘Useless muscles just for intimidation, not suitable for fighting,’ Fein sneered inwardly.

The two looked at Fein with derision, and the long-haired one stared at him as if he was already looking at a dead person. “For a normal person, your instincts are quite sharp, but it is your foolishness that will lead to your death.”

His bald companion looked at me with a puzzled expression. “You obviously sensed us for a while now. I’m curious... why did you choose to lead us here?”

Fein took a quiet look at them and decided to ask them for some information. “Well, why did you decide to follow me? I don’t even have single money on me?”

With some hesitation, the bald man looked at the long-haired one, who, in turn, looked at Fein and his companion.

“Well, there’s no harm in telling it to a dead man,” the long-haired man chuckled.

This is Fein’s goal; Fe intends to pretend to be weak in order to let their guard down on him; He will find a way to end them quickly, or his life will be in danger. He already used his probing ability on them earlier. They are powerful... 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

They are both C Rank Degu Users. Consider the difference between two C ranks and one C rank... The outcome is already clear. That was for regular C rank, not for him though. Nonetheless, he doesn’t have the intention of underestimating anyone in this world where strange abilities are everywhere.

Fein also learned a painful lesson with his spar with Captain Gregory; only a fool would repeat a mistake involving their life; his body is already B rank, but not his Degu amount. This was the result of his earlier probing...

Name: Kruger

Degu Amount: (C)

He was the long-haired one...

Name: Cedrick 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

And he was the one with the beard... He was concerned because he doesn’t know what they’re capable of.

Fein pretended to be scared and said, “At least let me know what would happen to my body... and who are you people,” trying to make his voice sound a little shaky...

“HAHAHAHA, we are called “Evil’s Call,” and we plan to summon Lord Thanatos to rule this world and extinguish half of the world’s population.” The blad guy has a worshipful and fanatical expression.

When the mention of their so-called lord Thanatos was mentioned, the long-haired guy also made a fanatical face.

‘They are mad!’ Fein wasn’t expecting to run into trouble while walking... For God’s sake, they’re also an evil cult.’ His expression became solemn this time.

Inwardly, Fein couldn’t help but curse his bad luck... “So, what do you intend to do with me?” Fein asked. He deliberately contorted his face in despair, like a dying person with 4th stage cancer awaiting his impending death.

“We will gather 1000 virgin women, 2000 newborns, and 500 adult men like you to sacrifice and summon the Lord...” said the long-haired man coldly.

After hearing what he said, Fein couldn’t help but clench his fist, his previous expression had vanished, his face had become expressionless, his aura had spiked to the highest level due to the anger he felt inside, and his chest was beating rapidly... While attempting to regain his composure.

The two looked taken aback by Fein’s sudden change; They had replaced their previously playful expression with a solemn one, and they charged at Fein without saying anything.

Fein gave them a ferocious stare. “Scums like you have no place in this world...” He sneered.

What he despised were people like them. There is nothing eviler than a person who can kill innocent people for their own pleasure, and the worst part is that they also intend to kill babies who don’t even have the strength to fend for themselves. That is the most heinous thing a person can do.

‘I must kill them...’

‘I must kill them...’

‘I must kill them...’

‘I must kill them...’

‘I must kill them no matter what...’

this thought kept repeating in his head...
