Fein knew how terrible it was to have 12 abilities. He suspects that even among S Ranks, Lucius is among the top. He can probably hold his own against SS rank if there's even one.
Knowing this fact. Fein decided to be cautious. This old man right here was hiding too deeply. He doesn't want to become involved with them. After all, a high-level figure like him also involves high-level things. Fein as he was now isn't confident to face things of that level yet.
Fein decided to quickly end his conversation with Lucius. The less he talks with him the better.
"So why did you wait for me here?" Fein tried to sound composed as much as he can. "I knew that as the head of the family. you won't really waste your time for a humble person like me right?"
Lucius nodded after hearing Fein. His frivolous face before vanished. He stared at Fein with a stern face that was more befitting of a person in his position.
"First, you have to participate in the Secret Realm under my name." Lucius looked at Fein
Fein nodded. He doesn't have a problem with that. After all, his ticket came from them.
Seeing that Fein didn't have an objection. Lucius nodded his head with satisfaction and continued.
"Second, everything you obtain in the Monster World is yours. However, you have to compete with other participants. You need to be vigilant against them, don't trust anyone easily."
A strange glint appeared in the eyes of Lucius but it quickly disappeared.
Fein scratched his head. Dealing with other people is more dangerous than monsters. Because people are more insidious. They would use various under-hander methods just to achieve their goal. He was clearly aware of the darkness of the World. But he still appreciates Viscount Lucius' warning.
Lucius couldn't help but appreciate Fein even more because of how easy it was to talk to him. So he decided to spill some truth. "I wouldn't have mentioned it. But seeing your cooperativeness I decided to tell you some things."
His voice was solemn.
"In truth, I have some enemies in other factions. People like me are constantly fighting for our faction's interests. Through the years I made a lot of enemies."
Fein who was quietly listening didn't show any expression on his face. As he accepted this invitation. He was already prepared to be involved in the face of situations like this although he didn't really want to, But what choice did he have? This is an opportunity for him to become stronger.
"I Understand your concerns. Any useful information you can provide me about them?"
Seeing the bluntness of the young man in front of him. Lucius laughed in a good mood.
"HAHAHAHA, you have guts!"
After learning that he was already involved in a deep whirlpool of conspiracy where can't back out easily. Fein decisively chooses to get the goodwill of Lucius. There are things that you can't avoid. The best thing you can do when facing such circumstances was to adapt. Advantages do not last long in the face of ever-changing trends. In this case, isn't it better to have a strong backing? Lucius who was the Blood Progenitor would certainly become a big help to him.
"Well, I have a rival called Max Greyfold. He is the President of the Retribution Faction. A guild that existed as long as my Family" Lucius has a nostalgic expression on his face. His eye was blurry as he was reminiscing about his past.
He continued. "The intelligence private organization under my hands have already information about the candidate that Max would send to specifically deal with you."
Just like that... Lucius told him useful intel about the enemy he would face. He also silently remembered the name Max Greyfold in his heart.
Reading the document in his arm. He couldn't help but be amazed by the information-gathering ability of the organization under Lucius. Though, Lucius said that I should still exercise caution.
Shawn Murphy
Affiliation: Retribution Faction
Rank: A-Class Degu User
Threat: S
Specialty: Strong Body and Defense
Abilities:
Advanced Gigantification *Active* - He can increase the size of his body to a frightening degree. There was an instance when he became as big as a castle.
Diamond Skin *Active* - He can turn his skin into a diamond. It provides him a defense that can resist most cold weapons. He once tanked the attacks of multiple A rank degu-users
Enhanced Strength *Passive* - He has the common ability that most degu users have. However, this common ability in hands showed its maximum effect due to its synergy with the rest of his abilities
Explosive Muscles *Passive* - His muscles were enhanced by his degu energy. The higher the amount of his degu, the stronger the boost he would receive. He can also instantly explode his strength to boost the speed of his movement and attacks in a single burst.
Steel Bones *Passive* - It lets him carry a heavy load and supports his heavy body. He can instantly gather force and momentum.
Thunder Punch *Active* - His punch would carry traces of lightning. It would boost his punch lethality and speed.
Evaluation: He can retreat safely in the face of S rank degu-users. A person who loves to fight. He would always challenge people who are stronger than him.
Fein was curious about this Retribution Faction. He decided to investigate this organization himself in the future. Hmm... he notices the threat level in the book.
So he decided to ask Lucius who was sipping a coffee in front of him. "What is threat level for? doesn't rank represents it already?
Hearing Fein's question. Lucius put down the cup of coffee on the table and answered. "As you know, The amount of degu energy on a person doesn't necessarily reflect their overall combat ability. That's why we specifically classify them using threat levels. it intuitively indicates their ability to inflict harm based on the combination of their abilities. Specially analyze by high-level think tanks personnel in my Organization. You can rest assured about its accuracy."
"Shawn Murphy was classified as S level threat because of his Gigantification ability and passives that synergize with it. He was labeled as a troublesome opponent by others who once fought him. So, are you confident in facing him?" Lucius asked with solemnity in his voice.
Fein chuckled slightly. "I can manage it"
"It's good to have confidence. Lastly, Sofia would be going with you to the Monster Realm."
