262 S-rank reasoning!
Fein, who was talking with Gregory, suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. The hairs on his body rose from all corners and he felt a cold sensation traveling throughout his body like an electric current. He swept his eyes in all directions with sharp eyes, as if looking for something.
Just now, he felt cold, and his S-rank talent kept warning him of something. Fein knew that there must be something going on. Yet after one minute, he didn’t find anything and the invisible gaze he felt disappeared.
Gregory became serious when he saw Fein’s sudden vigilance. He also started to look at the surroundings alertly. Seeing that nothing came after a minute, he relaxed a little. “What’s up?”
“Nothing. I just felt extremely uncomfortable, and I felt that someone was watching us earlier. But now, the gaze disappeared.”
“How’s that even possible!? No one knew our base except for the staff.”
A frown appeared on Fein’s face. He could still feel an ominous feeling until now, even after the gaze disappeared. ‘Is someone targeting our team? What is their purpose?’
Fein turned his eyes to Gregory. He pursed his lips a little and asked. “Someone might have spied on us using a powerful ability or an artifact just now. It’s definitely not my imagination.” He still has confidence in his instinct, which was honed through battles of life and death and enhanced by his ability.
“This is troublesome. We are on the bright side while the enemy is hiding in the dark. He or they know our information, but we don’t know about them. Like a hungry wolf in the dark waiting patiently for the opportunity to unleash his fangs.” Gregory rubbed his temples.
Fein knew that they needed to become careful for the time being. “Captain, do you know some possible candidates that would target us??”
.....
“We have a lot of enemies that hate us.” Gregory smiled warily. Due to the nature of their work. They had provoked a lot of people, so he can’t really determine who was who. “But I really can’t think of something... Because when we conduct our missions, we usually hide our identities just to prevent others from knowing us. So how is this possible?” He sighed.
“Beats me...” Fein shrugged, but he began to think of something.
Since Gregory can’t list a possible candidate. That means that someone targeting the Ranger’s Eye is low. So if the one who spied just now has a specific target, then who it is? Is it possible for some to target him? or is it Gregory?
‘TM! it might really be me!’ Fein’s eyes widened as he began to realize something. ‘If there is someone who has a beef against me and is likely to spy on me, then it’s that motherfucker!’
Jackson’s figure suddenly resurfaced in his mind. And he felt that his guess became more reasonable.
“Did you think of someone?” Gregory walked in front of Fein as he saw his enlightened face.
“It’s that motherfucker.”
‘This guy has such a talent for cursing.’ Gregory raised his eyebrow for a moment, then asked. “Is it Jackson?”
Fein nodded silently... “He started to move. Since he spied us just now, it seems he was waiting for a good opportunity.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“I’ll gonna give him this opportunity.” A cold expression emerged from Fein’s face. “He was unaware that we discovered him. I can use this opportunity to make bait and double-cross him. Did he really think that he could ambush me?”
Gregory felt the temperature become as cold as an Ice cellar. He glanced at Fein, whose demeanor turned one hundred eighty degrees. This is the first time he saw him display such a terrifying, murderous aura. It’s a really chilling experience!
‘He has such a sharp mind.’
Gregory was amazed by how Fein guessed, with just a little information. He wasn’t that worried about him anymore. In fact, he pitied Jackson, who was unaware that his little spying had been discovered. Now, Jackson was heading to his destruction...
“I just wonder what is going on in his mind. Why attack now? Instead of attacking earlier.”
“I don’t know. But I’m gonna lay an ambush to his ambush after Michael’s birthday.” Fein said.
He thinks that Jackson should want to kill him as quietly as possible. After all, he can boldly kill him, an official investigator, in a broad daylight. Because there are four S ranks in this country. Once a commotion started, Jackson would be fucked up by them.
‘This is probably also one of the reasons why he didn’t attack me at the start. But what changed his mind suddenly? Did he have a breakthrough that gave him the confidence to plot against me?’ Fein was unaware that his S-rank reasoning skills were currently running, which helped him connect the dots. ‘Doesn’t matter... At least I don’t have to find him anymore. He saves me of trouble.’
“Do you want us to help you?” Although he knew that he can’t help much, Gregory still wants to do something.
“No, the more people around me, the less likely that he will attack. So I need to do this alone.” Fein shook his head and denied his captain’s proposal.
“Well, that’s fine,” Gregory said. Then he smiled a little, sat back in the chair behind his desk, and smoke a cigar. “But we still have to enforce encirclement and cut off all his possible escape routes. Don’t worry, we would keep our distance.”
“No problem.” Fein shrugged casually, with a relaxed smile. He really wants to thank Jackson in his heart. He couldn’t help but chuckle. ‘That motherfucker dares to spy like this to me. It seems that he really didn’t put me in his eyes. I wonder what his reaction is if he knew that I’m already an S rank.’
Fortunately, he made a wise decision to not publicize his strength. If he did. Jackson would have heard it by now, and run with his tail tucked between his legs, and that would make it even harder to exact his revenge.
Fein was waiting for this time to come... Now he can finally see the day when he could enjoy the sight of Jackson’s headless body in his eyes!
