Chapter 230 Same Animal
Fein and Gregory came to the reception area. They saw Anthony resting his head on the table while humming a nursery rhyme.
When he heard this, Fein suddenly felt that he was transported to a dark room with a doll sitting in a swaying chair. He couldn't help but feel goosebumps spreading throughout his body!
"Hey, what kind of nursery rhyme are you humming with!" Fein knocked Anthony in the head.
"Yeah, it sounds kinda creepy..." Gregory added.
The sudden arrival of the two startled Anthony; he scratched his aching head and looked at Fein with resentment. "That hurts dude... You dare to say that my favorite sister's song is creepy!?"
"You touched his sore spot." Gregory chuckled." Anthony has a sister complex."
'What!? This cunning bastard has a sister complex!??' Fein's eyes changed, and he stared at Anthony with disdain.
"Don't stare at me like that. Isn't it normal to care for and protect your sister? By the way, the name of the song just now is Coco Lemon. It's quite popular with kids nowadays." Anthony scratched his nose with shame.
Gregory walked onto the dusty couch beside the chimney and sat on it. Then he leaned his back comfortably and said. "It's normal to care for your sister."
"See? Captain also agrees with me." A grin appeared on Anthony's face.
"But... it should not be as excessive as you. Just one bad word about your sister and you are fucking ready to go to war on the person. No, even if it's not a bad word, you would react to it like someone stole your money." Gregory said mercilessly. "Look at Fein. He knows how to properly guide his sister, and doesn't spoil her like how you spoil your sister."
Fein smirked as he heard this and look at Anthony with disgust. "We're not from the same breed. I'm built differently. I'm a different animal and the same beast."
"Huh?" Anthony ignored Fein's teasing but instead focused on the deep sentence he just uttered. "Same beast, but a different animal? What the F*** does that mean Fein Bonicafio?"
"You're welcome." Fein shrugged.
'What the fuck?' Anthony became speechless. And a question mark was written all over his face.
Gregory glanced at the two, who continued to bicker with each other back and forth for a whole hour.
"Sigh... By the way. Where's Michael?" Fein turned his head at Gregory.
"He's currently on a mission."
Anthony leaned on the table and yawned for three seconds.
"What mission? About the demons again or spying people?" Fein asked. Then he glanced at Anthony, who had a black bag under his eyes. "Go to sleep dude. Don't worry, I will hold the fort for you this time."
"He's on a mission to purchase his clothes for his incoming birthday celebration." Gregory smiled.
"Thanks, dude." Anthony rested his head on the table. But as he was about to close his eyes, the loud sound of the door echoed.
THUD!
Anthony turned his head at the door with sleepy eyes... A big figure emerged and swaggered in the middle of the reception energetically.
"You're finally awake, buddy." Fein went beside Voli and patted him on the back of his furry head.
'This arrogant bear disrupted my sleep,' Anthony complained in his head.
But he doesn't dare to say this, afraid that Voli would thrash him to the ground or electrocute him to death. He knew that the beast in front of him was capable of doing that.
Voli used his head and caressed Fein flatteringly and looked at him with big round eyes. 'Master gimme food.'
This piqued Gregory's interest. He saw the hint of wisdom in Voli's eyes. 'It seems Legendary Beast having equivalent intelligence of a child does have some truth to it.'
"Voli, meet my captain." Fein pointed at Gregory, then he turned his head at Anthony and said. "And, hmmm... my random teammate."
Voli shifted his gaze to Gregory with a look of acknowledgment. But when it was Anthony's turn, his expression became that of disdain.
Gregory nodded at Voli and said with a smile, "We will rely on you in the future."

"Hey what kind of introduction is that? What random teammate? It hurts my heart." Anthony shamelessly gripped his heart as if were having a heart attack. "And what's wrong with you? Why are looking at me like that? I didn't do anything to offend you, right?" He looked at Voli with a wronged expression.
"Hahaha!" Gregory and Fein laughed seeing Anthony's weird antics.
Fein can't still believe, that such a funny man has a mind that could think and account for every variable. If Fein measures Anthony's IQ, he was sure that it was in the range of Einstein and Sherlock Holmes. 'If he became a Scientist, he would be on par with Brick Norty. What a waste of talent.'
Fein knew that there were two types of intelligence in his past life. The earthlings called it Booksmart and street-smart. Booksmart is more on knowledge, while streetsmart is more on the resourcefulness and ability to plan for the person. And for Fein, Anthony perfectly represents streetsmart. He uses his brain to strategize, instead of studying things like mathematics or science. Of course, a streetsmart can also become a booksmart if they really want it. But a booksmart might have a hard time becoming streetsmart. In a sense, the booksmart type of person is purely on theories while street smarts is a practical use of intelligence to tackle situations and solve real-time problems.
The atmosphere became more harmonious. Anthony and Voli didn't get along well with each other, which also confused Fein. Because he can see that Voli was repulsive of Anthony, but he didn't know for what reason. While Voli treats Gregory in high regard, on the other hand.
"Captain, the president of the Ranger's Eye and the members of the big three of the main branch have visited!"
One of the staff suddenly emerged from the door while shouting. He wore the standard vest of Ranger's Eye and he struggled to stabilize his breathing.
"What!?" Anthony and Gregory stood up in their seat with wide eyes.
'The president of the Ranger's Eye? Isn't that the S-rank leader in our organization?' Fein suddenly felt his heart jump in his chest at the prospect of meeting another S-rank degu user besides Lucius.
