Fein and Sofia ca out of the restaurant with bulging bellies and satisfied expressions. The two had a feint smile on their faces as they held each others' hand under the envious glances of the passersby. Girls are envious of Sofia because he has a super handso boyfriend, though his handsoness has so sense of strangeness because of his white hair and red left eyes. While n are envious of having a beautiful and sexy girlfriend, a natural supermodel that could cause war for the nation.
"It's really hard to be hard to be handso." Fein couldn't help but sigh. But low-key bragging.
The people around heard Fein, and they quickly turned their eyes on him. So were irked because of his show-off attitude while so were speechless. But everyone couldn't refute it when they saw his face.
Sofia turned red from embarrassnt and quickly distanced himself from Fein one ter away and has a look on her face that says 'I don't know him...
...
In the next few minutes, Fein toured Sofia around the city, introduced various establishnts, brought her to the marker, and introduced her to the eight little kids, which beca healthier and now had flesh on their bodies instead of their past malnourished physiques.
Now, he didn't need to give them money as they finally made a living with the use of practical skills he taught them. But in the end, Sofia gave the eight kids twenty gold coins because of compassion, which made him speechless. After all, twenty gold coins were already a huge sum for dium size families... It was already their annual inco.
On the way to the Ranger's Eye, Fein looked at Sofia with a stern face. "You shouldn't have given them such a large sum. I tried to avoid spoiling them and instead made them stand up for their own. But here you are."
"But they are so cute and pitiful." Sofia refuted.
"Yeah, that may be the case. But the act of spoiling may help them in the short term, but it would make them weaker in the long term. You don't give a poor person a fish, but teach them how to fish instead. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
"Okay, I'm sorry." Sofia pouted. "I just saw my father to them. My father told that he was once a holess child and he didn't even know my grandparents' faces."
"Ehh?? He has such a story?" Fein was stunned imdiately. He didn't expect that Sofia's father would have a standard protagonist background story. From a little holess child to a powerful S-rank vampire ancestor. Such a story is enough to write a novel.
"Yes... My father has a lot of stories after living a long life." Sofia said proudly.
"Well, I didn't expect that." Fein chuckled.
In a few minutes, they arrived in front of the Ranger's Eye base. Sofia glanced up and down at the building with doubt. She expected that it would be majestic and would look expensive. But what she saw surprised her. Because the base of the smugglers from their kingdom's market was five tis better.
"Are you sure this is your base?" Sofia asked skeptically, with a hesitant expression.
After all, the Ranger's Eye branch in this city had Fein. A powerful S rank, but their base looks shabby?
Fein smiled and says. "It's just for the cover. In essence, we are an investigator and a spy. If we have an eye-catching base, criminals could easily find our base and easily take revenge on us. Though, I think it's really ti to have a good building, since we can protect ourselves with our current strength."
"I once went to the Main Branch of the Ranger's Eye base. Their building wasn't any worse than our mansion. There is also D and C rank that constantly guard around fully ard." Sofia said sarcastically.
"Fuck! Really? Damn it! I'll let the captain renovate this cheap building." Fein took a deep breath. Although he didn't really care about such a worldly matter. A pleasant environnt that is pleasing to the eye could also affect his food. And since the main branch has a luxurious building of a grand scale, at least they deserve to have a decent one, right? After all, an S-rank degu user like him should live with dignity.
"Do you want to contact the father and ask about his contacts?? He had friends that specialize in construction..."
"No need... Actually, the captain has a lot of contacts. I don't understand why he didn't choose to have a good-looking base. But there must be a reason. Probably because of sentintality? You must know that the captain ca from the old system and has an old fashion view." Fein walked towards the entrance and knocked on the door. "So I don't know if I would be able to convince him in the first place."
"Is that so? That's difficult." Sofia heaves a deep sigh. Because she could actually understand Fein. After all, her father was also old fashion in sothing. Might be even more old fashion than Gregory. Her father, after all, lived for a long ti and can be considered an old antic of the human race.
The good thing is her father, Lucius, gradually adapted to the change of tis. Experience a lot and realized that his old views would just make it hard for him and narrow his mindset. Lucius, as a once dazzling genius, was quite competitive, as he witnessed the ever-changing trend of society. Only those who can adapt would have a place in the world. So her father chose to adapt. Because in the end, there are only two questions and an option. To go against the current? Or to flow along with it?
Sofia's father chose the latter. After all, most of those that go against the current were swept away and drowned. They only made life harder for themselves and foolishly resisted the trend of the tis. But those who flow along with it, smoothly traversed and adapted. Just like how a person can't swim against the current of the river, and how he can easily swim in its direction and go along with the flow.
"The sun is very good, the worm is the mightiest! And I am the warrior of the dragon pigs!!" Fein chanted like a poet.
"..."
Sofia woke up from her thoughts and beca speechless as she heard Fein's ridiculous words.
