222 The Strategist
Fein walked out of the room, and patter his belly with a satisfied face. “My cooking seems to be improving more than my fighting skills.”
‘I wonder what my buddy is up to.’ Fein turned his head to the next room where they ate. ‘If he knew that we ate delicious food just now without him, he would surely get upset.’ He couldn’t help but chuckle when he thought of this.
Fortunately, he saved some for him. After all, he knew just how glutton Voli is.
Fein walked to the white door embellished with metal stars, then he pushed the door open.
When he stepped inside, he saw Voli staring in his direction with vigilance, but when he saw who entered, he immediately prop up and ran at him briskly.
‘Well, it seems he had taken his role very seriously.’
Fein thought that he would see Voli lying on the ground with his eyes closed. But he didn’t expect to see an entirely different Voli.
‘He became a bit reliable?’
“Good job buddy, you’ve matured a bit! I didn’t expect that I would see you one day fully awake.” Fein chuckled.
.....
Voli stopped in front of Fein and patted his chest confidently. ‘I’m always one hundred percent alert to protect our family!’
If Fein knew Voli’s mental activity, it would surely move him!
Voli had treated Melissa, Fey, and his master as his family. For this, even if he wants to sleep, he would force himself to stay awake and guard them if something happens.
He doesn’t want to let his master down, and he doesn’t want Melissa and Fey to get hurt. Voli knew that he had to give his best and protect them under his watch!
Fein patted his buddy’s head with satisfaction. He rummaged through his storage space and took out the food he saved earlier. “Here, take this. This is your reward this time for being a good boy.”
Braised pork, grilled chicken, spaghetti, sepu egg, etc... Came out one after another out of thin air.
Voli was stunned, his eyeballs almost pop out after seeing the delicacies in front of him.
“Enjoy!” Fein smirked. “After you eat, come to my room. I will introduce you to my friends.”
Voli looked at the foods with a heated gaze, and he turned a deaf ear to what his master was saying.
Fein bent down on the ground and started to gobble the food. He chose the braised fork first. He started to chew the meat with his mouth.
“Well, it seems I can’t talk to you while you are eating.”
Fein walked out of the room and decided to wait for Voli.
This time, he would train on the Underground Base and bring Voli with him. Gregory and Michael want to meet a legendary beast so he would fulfill their wish.
‘I hope they won’t get disappointed.’ Fein chuckled and went back to his room.
...
Just like that, Fein came with Voli. And they rushed to the Ranger’s eye base because he doesn’t want to miss out even a day of training.
Voli and Fey walked inside the base with a swagger.
“Fuck!” a staff at the reception took a step back when he saw a monster. And looked at Voli with horror. “Emergency. There’s a monster that infiltrated our base!” a cold glint unknowingly appeared in his eyes.
The staff started to yell, but before he could even continue what he was doing. An arm covered his mouth that prevent him from yelling.
“Relax... This is my companion.” A voice sounded in the staff’s ears.
The staff looked at the man, who covered his mouth.
Seeing that the staff finally calmed down, Fein released his hand on the staff’s mouth.
“Fein?” The staff heaves a sigh of relief. “This is your beast companion? The legendary beast!?”
“Hey Anthony, lower your voice a little. I plan to surmise the captain.” Fein grinned. then he gives Anthony a teasing smile and says. “By the way, you scream like a little girl just now! Hahaha!”
He couldn’t hold back his laugh anymore as he recalled the picture of Anthony’s terrified face.
“Phew, I had to admit that you scared me right there.” Anthony lifted his glasses and said.
Then he looked at Voli. His eyes suddenly brightened, and he stared with excitement. “Can I come with you? I also want to see their reactions.”
A sly smile appeared on Anthony’s face. He really wants to see how their captain would react if he saw a beast suddenly enter his office.
“He won’t be scared like you. Don’t underestimate the captain. He’s already a battle-hardened veteran. At least he won’t scream like a little girl.” Fein rebutted.
Anthony covered his face with shame. “Hey dude, don’t tell this to anyone, okay? Or else my reputation on the base would be ruined. I won’t have a face to show to anyone in the future.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Fein nodded with understanding.
Voli looked at Anthony with disdain and goes past him.
‘Shit... What an arrogant beast.’ Anthony glanced at Voli’s back speechlessly.
“Don’t anger him if you still want to see the day tomorrow.” Fein patted Anthony on the back. “Let’s go.”
In the staffs in the Ranger’s Eye. Fein had to say that he was most familiar with Anthony because they had participated in several missions when he was a beginner.
During missions, Anthony gave him tips and tricks to improve his ability to cover his tracks. Although Anthony’s strength wasn’t strong, the guy had a good brain and he could come up with strategies to outperform degu users that are far stronger than him.
Fein had to respect Anthony when it comes to strategy. The team always relied on Anthony and he was even called the ‘Ranger’s Eye Poisonous Strategist’ his ability to plan had reached the level where he would make contingency plans on his backup plans in case his initial plan fails. Anthony only uses his clumsy surface as a perfect disguise. Because who would suspect a person who screamed like a little girl just now to possess a sinister mind? His brain was literally full of twists and turns. If he wasn’t familiar with him, Fein would have to act carefully around him.
‘And his ability is quite devious.’ Fein glanced at Anthony subconsciously.
Although Anthony looks outgoing outside, he has a cold and calculating side that would chill anyone who knows it.
