I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 426 - 426 Captain!!

426 Captain!!

“Sofia, what day is today?”

“Ahmm... Sunday? Why?”

Suddenly, Fein’s expression turned dark. His eyebrows contorted into a frown, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face as if he was making a great decision that would affect his life.

Seeing this, Sofia asked worriedly. “What’s wrong?”

“Humpy Grumpy, the silhouette of the dumpy! I limp and simp for the past of the iced tea!” Fein recited the password of the day based on his memory. He kept a straight face throughout the process.

PUFF!

“Hahaha!” Sofia burst out laughing when she heard the funny password at Fein’s straight face when saying it word by word. She thought that Fein had a problem. She didn’t expect that Fein was just embarrassed to say the password.

“The password is getting ridiculous day by day.” Sofia chuckled.

“Fuck right.” Fein sighed. Though he knew other passwords were more cringy than the current one. And he’d rather take a day off than recite them. The password doesn’t really have any meaning, but just a jumbled word that doesn’t make sense and is completely incoherent sentence by sentence.

.....

After a few seconds, the wall parted, and Michael appeared in front of them. The area under his eyes was sunken, his eyes were a bit red, and he just stood in front of Sofia and Fein with a downcast expression.

Sofia stopped halfway from saying good morning, as she could see that Michael wasn’t in the mood. And she could see from Michael’s expression that something happened.

“Michael, what’s wrong? Why the hell are you acting depressed?” Fein felt a bad omen. His heart started to pound faster, and he felt his hand start to feel cold.

Michael looked at Fein and Sofia with painful eyes and almost hollow eyes. Then he slowly opened his mouth with his lips quivering as if he was struggling. “C-captain. He’s dead.”

Sofia’s eyes widened while Fein instantly blanked out. His eyes turned dazed for a second as if his brain had short-circuited temporarily.

“You’re joking, right? Michael, your joke isn’t funny.” Although Fein knew that Michael wasn’t the type of person to joke about such a thing. He just couldn’t accept and hoped that Michael was really just kidding him.

Fein knew Michael’s gloomy aura couldn’t be faked. He knew the answer in his heart. A series of questions popped into his mind, but confusion drowned him. His heart tightened and he could feel his breath begin to slow down.

“Follow me.” Michael didn’t answer Fein’s question, turned his back to them with a sad expression, and slumped shoulders.

“Fein.” Sofia went beside Fein with worry. Although she didn’t know how important Gregory was to Fein’s heart, she could judge a bit with Fein’s current empty eyes and heavy aura.

She could feel that the surrounding air almost stopped. She was aware that it was Fein’s indirect emotional manifestation that caused his degu energy to behave in a certain way that affect the environment. After all, Fein had high-quality degu energy and a huge amount of it.

“Let’s follow him.” Fein entered the entrance with Sofia.

Along the way, Michael, Fein, and Sofia didn’t talk to each other tacitly because of the gloomy atmosphere. Sofia tried her best and just kept following Fein and staying by his side.

Fein, who was calm and experienced, had a good psychological quality, and emotional control started to suppress the negative and heavy emotions in his heart. Although he couldn’t completely suppress it. It allowed him to think again and scan the dark surrounding. He could see a few workers with lost and hurt expressions that they didn’t even move anymore.

‘What happened? How did captain Gregory die? Natural Death? Suicide? Or is a third party related?’ Fein knew that Michael wasn’t in the state to answer this because of what happened. Obviously, Michael wasn’t as rational as him when it comes to this kind of situation. ‘I have to ask Anthony then.’

After all, Fein had personally performed a comprehensive checkup for Gregory, and there was no problem. Gregory was as healthy as other people, with no traces of abnormality. Except for the last incident where he suddenly experienced an inexplicable minor heart attack.

Till now, Fein had no idea what happened. After all, Gregory didn’t have any problems with his heart after the series of tests and examinations he had done on him.

His every step became heavy as he continued to list questions, and he could barely think with the prickling sensation in his heart. Fein gritted his teeth and tried hard to push away the sadness was feeling.

Sofia noticed drops of tears fall out from the ground with her sensitive senses. And it came from Fein’s direction. She glanced at him, only to see that Fein was just looking at the ground while walking. She felt a pain in her heart to see him in his current state, and it was the first time she saw him become vulnerable.

After all, Fein always behaves cold, confident, and domineering. As if no one could stop him. Matured and logical thinker. Seeing him like this, she could guess that Fein must have treated Gregory as his older brother or a father figure.

Just how painful it is to lose a person you looked up to? A person that guided you? That you treated as a friend and a father figure? This is what Fein and Michael were currently feeling. They can only grieve, but cannot bring Gregory back. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

Fein stopped thinking. No matter how he tried, he couldn’t come up with anything, and he knew that he was just trying to distract himself.

Just like that, they came to the captain’s office. And he saw Kidd kneeling beside a body, Gregory, who was completely still on the ground. Gregory’s were wide, and his arms were placed on his chest. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

Fein couldn’t feel any trace of life in Gregory’s body. Then he felt dizzy. All the negative emotions he tried to suppress erupted. He slumped to the ground and tears continuously gushed from his eyes.

“Captain!!” Michael and Kidd, who saw this, called out Gregory’s name and couldn’t hold back anymore. They started to weep with pain in their tones, then hugged Gregory’s lifeless body.
