I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 376 - 376 Government’s Intervention
376 Government’s Intervention
Just like that, Fein started his day with a cup of coffee added to his breakfast. He really prefers milk like his sister, but he also drinks coffee when he’s in the mood.
Suddenly, the door across from him opened. Then he saw his sister with still sleepy eyes walk in. Adding to her messy hair, blurry eyes, and blue pajamas with white polka dots.
‘Well, it’s really about time for her to wake up. I wonder how much did she improve these days. Should I check her progress later? Hmm...’
“Good morning mom, good morning Fein.” Fey greeted and sat directly on the chair near Melissa.
“Not calling me brother anymore?” Fein chuckled.
Fey just stared dazedly at the table with her stilly blurry eyes. She felt that his mind was currently floating.
“You stayed late at night again?” Melissa saw her daughter’s state and the dark shade under his eyes.
“No...” Fey woke up from her dazed as she felt that her mom was about to scold her continuously again. She couldn’t help but look at Fein pleadingly.
‘Hmmm... Should I cover her?’ Fein felt it was nice to see if he could troll his sister again. ‘Well, let’s do it. I might ruin her morning if I didn’t.’
.....
“She didn’t... I didn’t see her when I came back last night. It was already dark in her room when I passed by.”
“Really??” Melissa looked at Fein and Melissa with suspicion.
“Why not?” Fein smiled.
“Okay then.” Melissa nodded. But she felt that it might just be his son helping his sister again. Though she is glad that the two help each other.
‘Thank God.’ Fey heaves a sigh of relief. She doesn’t want to get scolded again early in the morning.
After all, when her mother talked about something, it would span until hours. And she just wants to eat peacefully. So with that... Fey directed her eyes to the table which has three plates on top. The other two don’t have anything on them except leftovers. While the one in front of her had brown rice, egg, and one piece of hotdog. Then she saw a cup beside it.
Fey instinctively picked up the cup and drank it. “Huh? Coffee? Where’s my milk?” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
“Sorry, we are out of stock. How about helping to market?” Fein said.
“Okay. After I eat...” Fey responded and proceeded to her breakfast.
Melissa, on the side, thought of something. She opened her bag and retrieved her purse from it. The pink purse has flowery designs, and it has a white zipper. She opened it and rummaged through the contents inside.
TING TING TING
The sound of coins appeared. Then Melissa pulled out one gold coin and two silver coins from it.
“Well, take this money then. Buy our usual stocks.”
“I have money on me.” Fein sighed.
“No... Take it.” Melissa put the coins on the table and says. “That’s already in the budget this month. You already gave us so much money. Where would spend it if not for our daily consumption?”
“If you say so.” Fein scratched his head with a wary smile.
“Fein, the newspaper for today was already in the mailbox on the stairs.” Fey suddenly spoke. The plate in her front was already clean, without a single grain of rice.
‘My sister is really meticulous in doing things. What a clean eater.’ Fein noticed his sister’s plate so he couldn’t help but think.
“Well, I’ll pick it up then.” Fein stood up from his seat and walked out the door under the eyes of Melissa and Fey.
“Your brother reads the news now? Wow, that’s new.” Melissa pursed her lips.
“I don’t know. But I always see him take the news to deliver to our mailbox daily. I think he became more conscious of the happenings in the world recently.” Fey answered nonchalantly.
After all, she couldn’t say that her brother and she were investigators, right? They welcomed any information related to different regions. Not only that... As official investigators need to stay updated on the event and news in their surroundings, as the slightest details could change a game or help in a case. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼m
Melissa sighed. “Your brother had become more and more uptight and he rarely jokes now. Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is a choice. It seems he took the latter to the extreme.”
“But isn’t that good?” Fey smiled.
“Well, that’s really good. But he still has to live his life.” Melissa said worriedly.
‘Parents are really complicated.’ Fey couldn’t help but complain inwardly.
After all, parents usually scold their children for being lazy and careless. But when their child becomes responsible, they would say that they need to get a life.
Fey heaves a deep long sigh. ‘Or is it just the case with my mother?’
“What are you sighing for?” Melissa was speechless, and he felt attacked for no reason.
“Nothing.” Fey chuckled in response.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps went to Melissa and Fey’s ears. Then they saw Fein walk through the door and sit on the red sofa with his gaze fixed on the newspaper without blinking. If a stare could burn, the newspaper had already caught fire.
“What’s the matter, brother?” Fey immediately stood up in her seat and went beside his brother. Then she saw the headline written in the newspaper.
‘A dangerous beast killed hundreds of people last night from the MIU city? What?? Is this a mutated beast or just a normal beast?’
Fein, on the other hand, was already deep in his sea of thoughts. ‘So the authorities already covered the truth behind the incident? They are really good at concealing these things from normal people. How about the stadium?’
Thinking of this, Fein flipped through the newspaper, only to see another title that made him feel ridiculous. ‘The biggest stadium of the MIU city under a major renovation? Well, that’s really a good excuse to hide the damages that I’ve done.’
‘Hmmm... Should I donate some money to the owner?’ Fein couldn’t help but think of this. He’s basically the culprit that destroyed the stadium more than the monster. After all, his world tree domain wasn’t really environment-friendly. ‘Well, fuck them!’
