I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 329

329 Fright

Gregory walked slowly, in his left, one could see the muddy water with garbage floating on the surface.

Dust falls above him, which made his hair dirty. And different kinds of odors that came from the water, stool, and garbage assaulted his senses.

From his side view, he only sees the wall filled with black mud.

Gregory looked left and right as he treads carefully. ‘People won’t really suspect if the monster used this place to walk around the city. And even if they know, they probably won’t dare to come down. Such a narrow place... They would only become food for the monster.’

Gregory raised his hand and covered his nose. He might not last even for a minute if he let the scent enter his nose like that.

Just now, he already felt his stomach churn, and turn upside down.

He felt that if he smells the sewer again. He would straightly vomit the content of his stomach and the food he ate from earlier.

“This is stupid. I can’t cover the entire sever by myself.” Gregory forgot that the sewer was literally as big as the city or half of it. “It’s really hard to find that shit.”

Even if he searches around for hours tirelessly, he won’t find that monster even if he was really walking around the sewer. Well, if he was lucky, he might encounter it. But the chances were nil, and he was not confident with his luck.

.....

After hours of walking around. He didn’t find any signs of the monster. So he just returns to the surface. ‘Hmmm... I wonder if the other had progressed on their search.’

...

Anthony, unlike others, didn’t go into a high view.

He just stroll around at a relaxed pace and kept thinking of contingencies to prevent casualties.

Anthony didn’t think that he would encounter the monster. After all, where he was assigned is the center of the city. And he doesn’t intend to search for the monster at all. After all, if the monster attacks him. He’s not confident that he would be able to escape the gap of strength.

The monster could literally kill dozens of degu users that were stronger than him. And the strongest among them even reached the peak of A rank. What could a mere E-rank degu user like him do?

Anthony fully knows his capabilities. What he could do and he could not. He knows his limits and always analyzes the situation first by ten times before deciding. 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

Though, he can become decisive if the situation needs it. But he prefers to take his time and prepare as much as possible.

...

Just like that, the group just did their role with discipline.

Fein didn’t move in his place at all. He just stayed in the corner while observing. Even in the dark, it didn’t have a difference to him. The night was just like morning because of his powerful night vision.

‘Well, I hope that others won’t have an accident,’ He thought with worry.

The monster that they were about to face had a record of killing an A-rank peak. Just one slight mistake. One of his friends might die on its hands.

Although he didn’t have to worry about Michael, who has a good survivability rate because of his shadow powers and B-rank realm. Gregory and Anthony were a different story. Their captain was C while Anthony was E. They are too fragile in front of A ranks.

Fein himself just has to flick his finger to puncture a hole in their skill. Honestly, he didn’t want his captain to participate in this mission because he was already old. Anthony, on the other, was still fine because he could take care of just fine. Fein believes in Anthony’s head.

The guy can literally come up with hundreds of solutions in seconds if his life gets in danger. Until now, Fein and Anthony’s score in chess and other mind game was equal. But it wouldn’t be long before Fein become smarter than him. After all, if Fein manage to upgrade his talent to SS rank, his intelligence would also go up. Intelligence can be considered a talent in a certain sense, along with memory.

...

A hand rose from a hole in the middle of the road. The people that were walking near it jumped back in fright.

“Ahhh!!” One of the women screamed loudly after the sudden appearance of the arms.

The people in the surrounding turned their heads in unison at the commotion, only to see a woman that look at the ground in horror. Then, they saw the hand gripping the ground hard for support, and a middle age man with white hair, wrinkles on his face, wearing a dark blue suit emerged.

“What’s the matter?” A random passerby asked bewilderedly.

Beside him, a plain, simple-looking woman dressed in pink, and has freckles, pointed at the woman who screamed. “It seems that the man who appeared from the sewers accidentally frightened her.”

“What’s that guy doing in the sewers at this time in the first place?”

“Look at his suit. He should be the cleaner of the sewer that was on duty tonight?” Another guy spoke.

Gregory looks at the woman in front of him who had a face filled with fear speechlessly. Then a crowd formed because of the commotion that was created. ‘I know my luck wasn’t all the good. But am I really this unlucky? Damn it! I need to wash my hands three times and kowtow for one hour from now on.’

He didn’t expect that he would suddenly become the center of attention just after exiting the sewer! What kind of shitty luck does he have!?

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Gregory apologized to the woman and spoke softly as possible. “It’s just that I’m the one responsible for clearing the rats in the sewers.”

Seeing that it was just a middle-aged man with a gentle expression, soft-spoken, and mild-mannered. The woman heave a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat that formed on his forehead because of fear.

“It’s okay. It just took me by surprise.” The woman said with still trembling hands.

“Hahaha! Anyone would be scared if a hand suddenly pops up right in front of them.” Gregory tried to calm down the tense emotions of the woman with a light joke.

The people in the surroundings gradually dispersed after they saw that there wasn’t something interesting anymore.
