Chapter 372 Dumbfounded Chris
"Michael, you can transport the people outside. Although it is already safe. It's better to bring them directly to the market so they can ride carriages directly to their respective homes." Fein turned to Michael.
"Roger that." Michael stood up straight and has his left hand behind his back, while the right was on his forehead.
"The fuck are you saluting for?" Fein chuckled.
"Well, you're the strongest here, after all," Michael smirked. Then looked at Gregory. "Right, captain?"
"If he didn't reject it, he would have already been the captain." Gregory nodded.
"Strength and capabilities are the two factors that could influence the world. Of course, they would want to appoint an S rank as a captain." Anthony butted in the conversation. "By the way, your status as an S rank had been revealed now. I'm certain that it would spread throughout the whole degu society like wildfire and cause an uproar."
"And it will benefit the country. Our country could finally obtain the great title, thanks to Fein." A rare grin emerged from Gregory's face.
As a person with an old fashion lifestyle, Gregory was quite patriotic. He always promotes nationalism and loves his country. After all, he grew with it and he was nurtured in a family of patriots. That's also one of the reasons he joined the Ranger's Eye affiliated with the officials. To serve his fellow countrymen and contribute to the country.
"It doesn't matter. I already prepared myself..." Fein shook his head with a smile.
He doesn't really care if his strength was finally revealed. He was done with his low-key development because he had already reached S rank. If he still wants to hide his strength while being S rank, that would defeat the purpose. After all, he only chooses the path of low profile because he doesn't have sufficient strength to protect himself. But now, it's different. Being an S rank would give him unimaginable benefits.
Resources, position, power, wealth, and other small things would become more convenient. People would automatically want to get on his good side, flatter him, and the idiots who want to offend him would get reduced significantly. ๐ณ๐ณee๐ฌ๐๐n๐๐๐ฒ๐.๐๐๐ฎ
In his path, it was inevitable that he would encounter troubles and obstacles. But if he could reduce some... Why not right?
"Well, I'll take care of the civilians first." Michael walked to where the civilians were.
Suddenly, an intense blue light appeared. Then a man emerged from it and looked at the surroundings. And when he saw the one hundred-meter trees and the thick grasses, his eyes widened. "Fuck! Did I teleport to a forest?? Where am I? Damn, these trees are too damn big."
Then when he further scanned the place, he saw the civilians and the group of degu users which made him confused. 'The fuck??? Am I dreaming? Since when did the stadium become forest!?'
Fein, Michael, Gregory, and Anthony looked at the person who appeared while looking around with a dumbfounded faces.
"Who is that?" Fein muttered.
"That's Chris." Julian suddenly appeared with a polite smile.
"Chris?? Is he one of the degu users in the group?" Gregory raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, he's one of the reasons why we are still alive now. He helped us stall the monster and buy time." Julian replied.
"You guys! What the fuck happened here!? Can anyone explain?" Chris instantly appeared beside Julian and the rest.
'Teleportation?' Fein scrutinized Chris with interest.
He didn't see the guy move at all, yet he disappeared his sight. And he also felt a peculiar movement in space around his sensitive perception.
"You are??" Chris saw unfamiliar faces, then when he looked down, his eyes widened, and his body became stiff.
Because he saw the miserable state of the monster, the same monster that massacred powerful degu users and defeated him with ease!
"We are official investigators that were tasked to help solve this monster. You can also call us Ranger's Eye investigators. Thanks for fighting for the people." Michael had a good impression of Chris as he heard the other party's contribution.
"Glad to meet you." Fein had a friendly smile on his face. While Anthony and Gregory nodded in greeting.
Seeing this, Chris gradually understood even though he still finds it hard to believe. He looked at Michael and shook his hand. "So your group is the one responsible for this forest and defeating the monster?"
'These guys must at least A ranks.' Chris quietly thought in his head.
"Well, we didn't really do anything." Gregory smiled warily and pointed at Fein. "He's the one responsible for all of this."
'What!?' Chris' mind was in turmoil. How can it be possible to create such a gigantic forest and defeat the monster alone? He couldn't fathom just how powerful the guy was if he can really do this. He couldn't help but subconsciously look at Julian.
Julian smiled when he saw Chris's reaction. After all, anyone who experiences the terrifying power of the monster would also find it hard to believe. "He did it. And effortlessly..."
"He's an S rank," Gregory added.
"Ohhh... That's why. If that's the case, then it's indeed possible." Chris took a glance at Fein and he couldn't help but notice how young the other party was. 'This is definitely a genius!'

"So, what are you doing here?" Fein asked with interest.
"Well, I'm on my to save the rest of them, but it seems I'm not needed anymore since you've already defeated the monster. But why not kill?? It might recover again and that would be bad."
'Ohh... So he's here to help. Well, it seems that he's indeed a good guy,' Fein thought inwardly. Then he smiled and says. "Well, as long as I'm here, this monster won't be able to do anything. Rest assured."
"Guys, I'll leave now. I'm glad that I manage to witness how an S rank fights." Julian bowed at the group and walked away.
"Me too..." Steve followed Julian hurriedly.
"Brat, why are you following me!?"
Chris also bowed to Fein and the rest. "Well, I'm also off guys."
"Okay. Be careful on your way, then." Gregory smiled in response.
Just like that, Chris vanished along with a spark of blue light. Gregory sighed and walked towards the civilians, with Michael following behind.
