I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 473 Join Me
"Jonathan, stop this! Do you want to become a murderer!?" The black guy pleaded and tried to convince the guy.
Jonathan, in turn, stopped his pace for a moment, which ease the nervousness of the black guy for a little. 'Are my words effective? Shit, I don't want to die.'
Suddenly, Jonathan ran toward the black guy. "Hihihi, do you think you could convince me? What if I let you escape? Are you stupid enough not to report me to the police? And this is your fault!! If you didn't meddle with my business, I wouldn't have done this."
Jonathan became more and more frenzy as he run. This scared the shit out of the black man.
"Ned, it's time for you to die!"
Jonathan raised his knife and swung it towards the helpless Ned with all his strength.
"No!!!" Ned instinctively raised his arms in an attempt to block the knife.
Fein sighed as he watched this scene. 'I knew this guy name Jonathan is a total freak. Well, it's time for me to intervene, or a guy named Ned would die.'
Just like that, he teleported into the trajectory of the knife. With a slight movement, Fein caught the knife between his fingers effortlessly.
"Huh?" Jonathan was appalled as he felt the knife in his hand met strong resistance. So he raised his head and saw an impossible scene.
His knife was currently between the index and middle finger of a white-haired man that suddenly appeared with an expressionless face.
"My mother!!" Jonathan jumped two steps back in fright as if he saw a ghost. Jonathan looked at the knife that was still stuck between the man's fingers with his scalp numb. "Who are you? Why did you suddenly appear!? How are you doing that!?" 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
"You don't need to know that."
Suddenly, a strong red glow was released from Fein's waist where his sword was sheathed. The red glow, like a light, hit Jonathan before he could even react. Then a change occurred like a trigger. Jonathan's eyes started to become bloodshot. A second later, he fell to the ground foaming. His eyes completely burst like a balloon. His tongue had rolled out from his mouth.
'What happened??' Fein looked at his sword with suspicion. After all, he was sure that what he just used was nothing like the sort that could kill people.
'System??'
DING!
System: The host executor's sorrow. Although its effect was just to make the enemy mentally unstable, the ability was fueled by your S rank degu energy so it has a stronger effect, which a normal human can't resist at all. Only D rank above could resist the skill and survive, though their mind would become unstable temporarily.
'Is that so?' Fein was speechless. 'Damn, that Jonathan is too unlucky.'
"Is he dead?" Ned stood up on the ground.
"Yes, do you feel I'm a bad guy?" Fein looked at the black man.
Ned in turn shook his head, then walked towards Jonathan's body and gave it a fierce kick which made it roll two meters away.
"Goddamnit..." A swear came out of Fein's mouth. Who would have expected that Ned, who was in despair before, would have such a ruthless side? At least Fein didn't expect it. "You're cool."
Hearing the praise come from his savior's mouth, Ned immediately shook his head. "It's just a payment for almost killing me. This bastard deserves to die." Ned stared at Fein with all seriousness. "But how did you kill him? I didn't see anything except for the red light. Do you have superpowers??"
"Superpowers? Well, you can say that. I must correct you, I didn't plan to kill this scum, it's just he was too weak to handle my power." Fein sighed for a while. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth as he accidentally killed someone. Though he didn't feel guilty or anything of the sort, as he was already used to killing and his hand was already baptized with blood. Honestly, he himself was scared of his changes.
Ned's eyes shined at Fein's answer. "Wow! So superpowers are, after all, true? I thought superpower is just something that exists in the myth! Is it possible for me to have one??"
Seeing the passion in the black guy's eyes, Fein didn't know what to think for a while. "Well, only those people with talent are destined to awaken powers. We are called degu user, and our power is called degu ability..." Fein stopped for a while for Ned to digest his words. "First you have to sense the degu energy and master it. Second, awakening starts at the age of 18 to 22, although it's not absolute, it was the golden age. How old are you?"
"So I can't have one." Ned's face was full of disappointment. "I'm already twenty-nine. It seems I'm not destined to become one."
Seeing this, Fein could feel that the guy in front of him was someone very similar to him. A guy who wants to pursue personal strength and control his own Fein. 'This guy only needs an opportunity. With his character, he would get stronger real fast.'
Fein could see that Ned was already experienced and had a good mentality. Just like how he ruthlessly kicked the dead Jonathan's body, and now his passion for a superpower. 'Should I give him the opportunity?'
In truth, Fein had already found a way to forcefully awaken a person. But it still had flaws... It only has a 50% success rate, and if in a situation it failed... The person would die. Fein wants to remove the flaws, but he didn't have time on his hands and he knew that it would be a long-term project, just like the perfect gene serum. He found it a pity that Brick Norty wasn't available because of the monster's consciousness, or the research would have progressed already.
'I really have to find a way to save Brick as soon as possible.' Fein once again felt the importance of his friend.
"Do you want to become stronger?" As he finished his thought, Fein finally decided in his heart. "Then join my organization and prove your loyalty! I'll give you the opportunity to possess unparalleled strength. If you succeed or fail, depends on you."
