Chapter 274 So Much Alike
The guests in the hall became more lively as minutes passed... Anthony and Gregory came to the hall without much attention. After all, they weren\'t really well known. Those who know them only nodded with greeting and resumed what they were doing. Some people within San Fernando might know them, but not in other countries. Yet, they still have a lot of contacts and acquaintances in the hall.
Gregory wore a butler-like outfit, but it has the Ranger\'s Eye logo, and he has a transparent glass on his face which gives those who look at him a feeling of wiseness. Gregory also dyed his hair black to conceal the white strands that he had, which made him look two years younger.
"It looks lively here," Gregory said with a smile, obviously in a good mood.
Since the event where he almost died from cardiac arrest, Fein produced almost all kinds of pills that enhance the functions of internal organs and even made a personal diet plan for him that contains all the essential nutrients the body needs.
Although he was a bit reluctant, he followed the diet plan. At first, he thought that the world turned white and gray because he couldn\'t eat what he wants to eat. But after a few weeks, he finally adjusted to his lifestyle, and he became healthier than ever.
With this, he didn\'t have to worry about sudden cardiac arrest any longer. Although there\'s not really a problem in his heart. He was still suspicious about why he experienced that, but he didn\'t want to think too much.
Gregory suddenly thought of Fein, who took care of him in the past few days and buried himself in the laboratory just to make things that could improve his health. He didn\'t really know what to say. But they didn\'t need to say anything about it either. Gregory was well aware that of his three students, Fein almost treats him as his father.
Actually, Gregory stood behind the three with the role of a fatherly figure, brother, and friend. Because Gregory wants to guide them on the right path as much as possible. Now, it seems that his only influence on them had really grown bigger.
"Yeah," Anthony answered without much interest.
He glanced at the women and the elderly on the sides without care. Then he scanned every detail in his surroundings casually. Contrary to his appearance, Anthony already memorized all the possible escape routes and the appearance of the people in the hall.
He didn\'t let anyone escape his gaze and registered all of them to his memory palace. He also started to make what if\'s on his mind in case something unexpected happens...
All of this happened in just a few minutes on his mind. Anthony, as a veteran strategist, had become used to doing this, and it had already turned into a hobby.
After all, in the hall are all sorts of dangerous degu users. Anthony won\'t feel at ease without backup plans on his sleeves.
Anthony was probably the most inconspicuous in the entire hall. He wore a black hat, a brown coat, and brown pants. He looked so plain that anyone won\'t even register him as a person in their eyes.
His every gesture, movement, and breathing follow a certain pattern that made him blend into the background and he\'s constantly misdirecting his presence, which almost made him invisible. The guests just passed by him as if they didn\'t see him.
"We\'re not in mission. Stop doing that." Gregory clicked his tongue.
Anthony shrugged. "Who knows if there\'s someone malicious here? I\'m probably the weakest, so I need to constantly raise my guard. Just one lethal attack from a higher realm than me. I\'d die, you know..."
"You have a point. But I think it\'s just your persecution delusion that is on the run again." Gregory couldn\'t help but sigh.
Anthony stared left and right before he turned his head at his captain. In his face, one could see a solemnity. "At least it save my life many times now. You know people\'s hearts are complicated."
Gregory nodded. He knew that Anthony rarely trust anyone. In the Ranger\'s Eye, it might look like he could get along with anyone, but he didn\'t fully trust them and he was always on guard.
But that\'s the reason why Gregory appreciates Anthony very much. If his only a tad bit stronger he would prefer Anthony to become the captain than Michael.
Anthony wrote about almost all the weaknesses of the members of their team. Of course, he asked for their consent.
As for why write it? His reasoning is \'So when the time someone betrays, We have a counter-measure on how to take them down. What\'s outrageous is, Anthony doesn\'t really trust himself either. He had created a list of his shortcomings and secrets if the time comes when he would betray the team.
His loyalty to the team is undeniable so Gregory still felt reassured having him by their side.
"The fuck, where is Fein?" Anthony kept looking at him but he can\'t find him.
If there\'s anyone he thinks has the same intelligence as him, is none other than Fein. In this world, every time he talks to people, he felt that he was speaking with monkeys as they can\'t understand his thought process. But Fein could easily understand his surface thought without much problem. He really treats Fein as his friend as they were so much alike.
"Who knows what his doing? He might be busy doing hand calisthenics in their bathroom?" Gregory said without emotion.
"Hand calisthenics?" Anthony turned his head at Gregory. Suddenly his eyes widened with realization. "You mean masturbation?"
"Hahaha! Really smart!" Gregory burst out laughing seeing Anthony\'s rare speechless face.
"He\'s here."
Gregory and Anthony heard Michael\'s voice behind them.
"Where??" The two turned their heads at him and asked at the same time.
Michael pointed at the entrance where a wooden carriage stopped. They were familiar with this carriage as it was the most common carriage commoners used to travel from city to city.
Not only it was cheap, but it also has a decent speed.
"Damn, he came here with a carriage like that?"
"Fein will always be Fein..." Michael chuckled.
