I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 12 First Encounter With Criminals



-Fain's POV-

I was returning to our apartment through a dimly lit hallway. I'm sure my mother and sister are worried sick right now. I simply used the cliché excuse of the various novels I read, and I told my mother that I was quite stressed in my new job, and that's why I want to take a break and travel to discover myself in order to achieve some peace of mind.

When I was about to turn around to go to a carriage that was a long distance away. I suddenly sense two presence following me.

I only just discovered them, but I'm guessing they've been following me for quite some time. My mind was preoccupied with thoughts, so I didn't notice their presence, and they are actually skilled.

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

'This is getting really annoying,' I think to myself, raising an eyebrow in annoyance. 'Let's see what you've got.'

I'm looking for a deserted area where we can finally settle this once and for all.

...

I'm now in a quiet dead-end street in the city. I turn around to await their arrival...

After covering the distance between them and me, there were two silhouettes walking toward me. I finally get 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 are swollen like balloons.

'Useless muscles just for intimidation, not suitable for fighting' I thought quickly.

They are mocking me, and the long-haired one stared at me 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 regarded me with a puzzled expression. "You obviously sensed us for a while now, I'm curious... why did you choose to lead us here?"

I 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 me and his companion.

"Well, there's no harm in telling it on a dead man," he chuckled.

This is my goal; I intend to pretend to be weak in order to let their guard down on me; I will find a way to end them quickly, or my life will be in danger. I already use my probing ability on them right away.

They are powerful... 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 me. Nonetheless, I have no intention of underestimating anyone in this world where strange abilities are everywhere.

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

Name: Kruger

Degu Amount: (C)

Str: (C)

Agi: (C)

End: (E)

He was the long-haired one...

Name: Cedrick

Degu Amount: (C)

Str: (C)

Agi: (E)

End: (C)

And he was the one with the beard... I'm concerned because I don't yet know what they're capable of.

I 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 my 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." He has a worshipful and fanatical expression.

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

'They are mad and crazy! I wasn't expecting to run into trouble while walking... For God's sake, they're also an evil cult.' My expression became solemn this time.

Inwardly, I curse my bad luck... "So, what do you intend to do with me?" I asked, my face contorted 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, I couldn't help but clench my fist, my previous expression had vanished, my face had become expressionless, my aura had spiked to the highest level due to the anger I felt inside, and my chest was beating rapidly... While attempting to regain my composure.

They were taken aback by my sudden change; their previously playful expression had been replaced by a solemn one, and they charged at me without saying anything.

I gave them a ferocious stare. "Scums like you have no place in this world..." I sneered.

What I 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 my head...
