421 Acquaintances
‘So this is Fein Bonifacio? Really a genius. But it’s a pity that you would just die in my plans in the end.’ In the third row of the VIP area... A man with white hair, wrinkles on his face, and eyes full of vicissitudes of life looked secretly at Fein. ‘Since you’ve killed my most loyal servant, then you should be prepared for the consequences. You killed three devils? Since that’s the case, I’ll just wait for an opportunity and wait for you to leave the South. At that time...’
This is Maxwell Greyfold, the leader of the Werewolf Faction or Vampire Slayer faction, The Alpha, and Lucius’s Arch-enemy! Since it invited almost all the S ranks... He decided to come to see the person who killed Shawn Murphy, his most loyal dog. The death of Shawn had been a huge loss for his faction and the resources that he had used just to help Shawn’s training became a waste!
Now to mention, he can’t let such a genius who had an enmity with him live! More importantly, the other party also belongs to Lucius’s camp. In that way, he must eradicate Fein before he could grow any further! He knew that he can’t take Fein by himself since the latter had killed three devils. But had already thought of a plan for this.
Maxwell shook his head in disappointment. ‘It’s a pity that you have to join my Arch-enemy’s camp and not mine. I didn’t want to kill such a genius like you. Alas...’
He felt jealous because Lucius managed to discover such an unpolished gem out of nowhere and successfully invest when Fein was still in his weak period. Now, Maxwell knew that the relationship between the two became closer for this reason!
What Maxwell didn’t know, is Fein was already Lucius’ son-in-law. If Maxwell knew it, he would probably become speechless.
...
In the fourth row of the VIP, a man was also looking at Maxwell. ‘Fucker, why are you looking at Fein like that? This guy must be plotting something!’
Lucius almost wants to rush up and kill Maxwell not far away from him directly. Unfortunately, even though he has a high status, he still had to behave in front of the leaders of the Xeno Great Alliance and other S ranks. And he can’t really kill Maxwell since their strength isn’t that far away from each other. After all, they already fought several times which always led to a draw.
.....
Seeing the kind of look Maxwell gave Fein, Lucius had a bad feeling as he knew well Maxwell’s personality.
‘If he really dares to do anything, I’ll rush up and beat the shit out of him. Damn, it seems I need to stare at this guy’s movements again in the future. Although Lucius was confident in Fein’s strength. He knew that Maxwell might convince other S ranks from other regions to kill Fein. ‘I need to remind Fein and Sofia to be careful once they go to the North.’
If Maxwell dared to harm Fein and Sofia midway, he swore in his mind that he would exchange his life and take down Maxwell with him.
...
Ceterus gestured at Fein to stand in the middle of the stage with a wide smile on his face.
‘He’s really enjoying himself, huh?’ Fein walked in the middle of the stage and infused degu energy in his diaphragm so that when he talk, everyone below the stage would hear him... His face was expressionless, then swept his eyes on the audience. ‘I should invent Mic. Speaking with degu energy in the vocal cords...’
Fein saw a lot of familiar faces from the crowd such as Sofia, who was standing beside Lucius. Michael, Gregory, Anthony, and Fey talked with each other. Then the four of them waved at him with a smile on their faces. Fein couldn’t help but squeeze out a smile.
This caused the girls below the stage to squeak and blushed as they saw the warm smile coupled with Fein’s cool appearance.
“Ehem...” Fein cleared his throat and organized the messy thoughts in his head. He didn’t care about the girls too much. If he waved or smile at them, Sofia might just suddenly jump on the stage and kicked him in the balls, or even start a fight with his new fangirls.
Suddenly he saw some acquittances in the seventh row. It was Roger who owned a tailor and clothing shop. Then he also happened to see an old man waving at him from the last row.
‘Old man Albert? What is he doing here? It’s been a while since I saw him.’ Fein still felt grateful for the knowledge Albert taught him in the past. Though he didn’t expect that Albert would also appear here. After all, Albert was only a C-rank degu user with an S-rank body.
Fein knew that a lot of friends he saw in the past might have attended here. Just in the eighth row, he also saw Merlyn, Alfonso, and Steven who guarded Sofia when they rode the giant griffon from the last time... Then there’s also Kassandra, a future member of his organization who had a shadow army. The big three were also in the sixth row, just one row apart from the VIP area.
When he saw the man who replaced Kate’s place, Fein didn’t know how to feel. Then, with the last sweep of his eyes, he saw David Freud and Isaac Freud. Kate’s father and grandfather. ‘Really, a lot of friends!’
“I don’t need to introduce myself since Ceterus already overdid it,” Fein said jokingly, which made the crowd chuckle.
“Well, I just want to thank you for coming here. Although they said that I was the protagonist of this event. I must disagree! The real protagonist of this event is none other than you all! The people are the heart of the country. Even if you remove the building and the whole land. As long as there are people, the country will live!”
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
The degu user was moved by the passionate speech they just heard. So they gave a resounding round of applause and at this time Fein became more pleasing to the eyes in the sight of the majority.
‘This bastard really knows how to make things lively,’ Anthony sighed.
