I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything-Chapter 391 - 391 Coincidence?
391 Coincidence?
In the previous location where Fein and Sofia fought. Shao Qui finally arrived and scanned the place with disappointment.
“There’s nothing here. The eight-thousand-meter tree really disappeared. Just what happened. Hmmm... There’s no treasure either.”
Shao Qui couldn’t help but sigh. Now, he really killed his teammates for nothing. Because around him, he could only see a huge mess. Broken and uprooted trees, an exaggerated wide pit that he thinks cause by the thousand-meter tree.
After he roamed around and upturned all rocks, and searched for all corners. He still couldn’t find anything valuable or the heavenly treasure in his imagination. Now... He truly regrets that he killed his teammates.
Shao Qui stomped his foot on the ground which left a deep mark. “Damn it! Now I have I have to explain their deaths for nothing!”
With that, Shao Qui left without gaining anything. What he could only do now was to report his findings and conclusion on what happened in the place and hope to gain some contribution points. But even with all the details, he could really come up with an answer to what truly happened.
Ten minutes later, after Shao Qui left, five silhouettes appeared. They look around the place and scanned every corner for half an hour before they gathered again.
“Ajei, did you find anything abnormal?” A short man with a mild pimple on his face asked the black-haired guy that has a white mask on his face.
“Nothing... Only debris and scraps. I think a big battle happened here because I can see some traces of fighting... What’s more, their strength wasn’t something to scoff at.” The masked man answered neatly.
.....
“Me too. There’s nothing here. I wonder why that majestic tree disappeared all of a sudden. Say, do you think that tree was actually man-made?”
“I don’t fucking know. How could a person possibly do that? Even an S rank might not be capable of performing that kind of exaggerated feat! That’s already at the level of myth. Like the world tree!”
The short man with mild pimples scoffed. “Don’t underestimate S ranks. They all have sorts of abilities that were beyond our imagination... Just one of them can face a whole country without exerting much effort.”
“But captain. Even sir Silvestre, the strongest S rank in the south, couldn’t possibly do this. I think it might actually be the result of a natural phenomenon or a treasure!” A man with a semi-bald haircut said with confidence. Then he pointed at the wide pit, which was at least a hundred meters deep, and says. “I think Ajei was right. A big battle happened here because of a conflict of interest after they discovered a treasure that might be related to the disappearance of the tree.”
“Hmmm... Your reasoning is actually valid. I don’t know what the tree could do. But It must not befall in the hands of other factions. We have to report this quickly to the leader! Let’s return now!” The short man, with a mild pimple, and also the captain said with vigor and strong momentum emanating from him.
“Ai, ai captain!”
“I can hear you...”
Just like that, the group left... More groups followed and did the same as them, only to gain nothing. So, all the groups that investigated reached the same conclusion and reported to their respective leaders.

“So this your house?” Sofia looked at the ‘humble house’ in front of her with wonder. She thought that with Fein’s wealth and power, he would live in a large manor. Though, she realized that with Fein’s personality, it’s not a surprise if he would choose simple things.
If Fein knew Sofia’s thoughts, he would become speechless. After all, for Fein, the house that he bought was already extravagant. It’s just Sofia had a different concept of ‘simple’ from him.
“Yeah, a newly bought one. I decided to move near our base since it would be safer that way for my family... I don’t have to worry about my sister now, since she’s already one of us. But I still have to worry about my mother. Though Voli is in the house to protect her.” Fein answered and motioned Sofia to follow as he led her to the stairs.
Sofia followed behind and looked around the place like a curious kid. Her heart pounds faster and faster with every step she took, and she felt her hand become sweaty and cold. ‘Am I actually nervous?’
She didn’t, or she just didn’t want to think. She felt excited, but after she got near and nearer, it only dawned on her mind that she was about to meet Fein’s family!
“We’re here.” Fein turned his head behind him and stopped. “This is where Voli rests. And the living room is there.”
Fein pointed at the door not far away from them. His mom mostly stays in the living room when she is in the house.
“That’s a good idea.” Sofia stared at the living room in the distance and felt inexplicably nervous. Then she turned her attention to the room where Voli was. She could still remember the time when Voli tried to avenge Fein and support her in battles many times. ‘Aoi would surely get sad if something happened to her friend.
Speaking of Aoi, she began to have changes to her body. Her blue feather became completely white, and she was sleepy most of the time, which made her worry. In the end, she didn’t have a choice but to let her father send Aoi to ‘Nob’s Pet Care.’ Where she would be provided with the best food which would fill the nutrients, she needs and the best habitat for her attribute. Some experts would monitor her condition in real-time. All in all, it’s an institution for nobles to send their pets for the best and intensive care.
‘Hmmm, it’s not a coincidence, right? Voli and Aoi started to have some changes??’ Sofia’s eyes widened as something came to her mind. ‘Are their changes related to the pill? Yes, that must be it!’
Fein opened the door, and a dazzling light greeted their eyes, which made them subconsciously cover their eyes.
