Novel Bin Chapter 485 No Scruples
Fein couldn\'t help but look at Sofia, who easily believed his words. \'This girl really trusts me 100%\'
He sighed in his heart. Such a trust... He intends to cherish it. After all, just one lie from people is enough to shake the foundation of trust. What he said to Sofia wasn\'t bullshit at all. It was a reliable statement. Since there\'s no perfect in this world, one can still pursue efficiency no matter in what aspect. Cut down the waste, and retain what is useful.
Just like in martial arts, where the greatest, or the best on their field, usually moves so little, as if they weren\'t moving at all when fighting. But in reality, they were just efficient.
"What are your words, Mr.champion? Can you give us a speech about how you feel about this win?"
Fein suddenly heard the referee on the stage. When he looked at it, he saw Kenshi smirk as he raised a golden medal in the air.
"My words? Now, I\'m the champion! And the greatest fighter in the East. I want to thank my master for the care and teachings that he imparted to me during our training. Master Himura, if you can hear me. Thank you so much... I don\'t know why you suddenly vanished after the training. But owe you for changing my life, my fate..." Kenshi\'s face was full of gratitude for a second before it turned into a smirk. "Now, I\'m the best of the best here! If there\'s someone who doesn\'t agree, then you can come at me on this stage!"
Kenshi\'s gaze was directed to the A-ranks in the VIP Area. But the A-rank degu user from the VIP area didn\'t dare to stand at all. After all, who is Kenshi? A known genius and invincible in the A-rank realm.
Now, it was further solidified after he won the championship and defeated his opponent. John Paul, who was quickly defeated, didn\'t seem strong. But in reality, Kenshi just used the right strategy and have overwhelming power.
Just like Kenshi, John Paul won his fights with A-rank opponents. Unfortunately, Kenshi\'s ability and attacks had just far surpassed him.
\'Such an arrogant guy.\' Voli snorted as he saw Kenshi direct his gaze to the area where they are. "Master, don\'t you want to teach this guy a lesson? I can\'t stand his arrogant face."
Fein shook his head. "Absolutely not. When we have a task, only focus your attention on it. You must have determination... Don\'t get distracted. This is the lesson that I learned from the experiences I have as an investigator."
"Okay..." Voli sighed in regret. \'What a pity...\'
Voli couldn\'t stand the arrogant type of people that openly mock others. His master, who was already strong enough, and had the capital to become arrogant, do not act like that.
"Since the competition is done. Are done here?" Sofia looked at Fein.
"Yeah, I only need to cover this part and see if the base of the witches is here. If not, then we need to go to the next great country."
...
On top of the highest building, the caste of the royal family of the Revenant country. A silhouette of a man dressed in a black suit, black pants, and black shoes appeared. He has eyeglasses on his face that made him appear smart. But his white hair and said pupil said otherwise.
This is Fein on the action of covering the central city, and the ones surrounding it with his perception. During the time that they spent visiting city to city since Fein couldn\'t cover the whole country, he instead made the scope smaller... He would cover nine to ten cities each week with his perception. Because the country of Revenant isn\'t the only one bigger, but even its cities. Just one city of Revenant country is as big as five combined cities of San Fernando.
As for the result... Well, there\'s still no sign of the base. But Fein managed to obtain clues and traces of the activities of the witch. With his perception that gave him detailed information on things, Fein managed to spot some women that suspects to be witches.
During his stay in the cities, there would be people that would go missing. And the ones who did it are women! Of course, it was still not a foregone conclusion since he only deduced based on the environmental details.
Fein sat and quietly enjoyed the air. The royal family and S-ranks within the castle didn\'t even know that there was already someone who trespassed on their territory. They couldn\'t sense him at all as he currently suppressed his degu energy to zero which was almost like a normal human on the outside.
\'There are at least four S-rank degu users in this castle. They couldn\'t even sense even when I\'m under their radar. These S-ranks are too incompetent.\' Fein boredly stared at the clouds as he have to wait for the night to come down before he would do what he needed to do. Obviously, there\'s a reason that it has to be night.
\'What about killing one or two S ranks in the castle?\' Fein rubbed his hands. It was literally a large amount of exp if he did so. But he still has scruples as it would cause chaos in the Revenant country.
One case would lead to another, and it was highly likely that they would increase the security that would cause problems with his task. The witches might even act low-key if they were cautious enough, which would make it harder for his search for them.
\'What a pity!\' Fein sighed with regret. He doesn\'t really have scruples to kill, even if it\'s not his enemy. If it would benefit him and make him level up faster. He would do it. He\'s not the naïve Fein that had just arrived in this world. But a brand new one that experiences the feeling of how to lose friends.
\'Well, I\'ll do it after I do what I need to do here.\'
Just like that, Fein made a decision. The degu users of other regions are technically his potential enemies. After all, a fourth great war was bound to happen. A fortuitous event. Since it would become an enemy in the future... Why not cut it now and benefit? He doesn\'t have scruples about killing his enemies for his benefit!
