Chapter 167 Michael’s Invitation

'Hmmm... It seems the captain is already past his prime.'

Fein decided that he would find something to help his captain advance his realm. Because when one ascended, their lifespan would increase as well. And with increased longevity, the chances of breaking through would increase.

Gregory was already old. Improving his strength would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Not only would his strength stop growing, but it would also gradually decline along with the aging of his body.

If Fen could find treasure that could increase lifespan, he could still help him resolve his current issue.

'How about convincing captain to turn into a vampire?' An instant solution appeared on his head.

This would work 100%, after all, vampires are known for their eternal youth as long as they don't die. And Gregory might be lucky if could access blood energy. Though this solution would only work if his Captain agreed because there are people who were extremely repulsive to vampires.

Fein secretly looked at Gregory, he decided that he would tell in for another time. He had to plan first how to convince him. Fein is not the type of person to do things impulsively, he would always make sure that anything he do was thorough to reduce every possible mistake. 'Prevention is better than cure right?' And he also has to talk about this matter to Lucius or Sofia.

"How about you? How's your adventure in the Monster World Secret Realm?" Michael nudged his shoulders.

"Me? Well, I've encountered a lot of things. " Fein entered a storyteller demeanor.

Michael and Gregory leaned closer to hear his narration as they were also curious about the mysterious 'Monster World'.

"The adventure I experienced is certainly novel to me. Even now, it was still fresh in my mind." Fein deliberately trailed his sentence here and looked at them and saw them listening.

He smiled and continued. "The first beautiful yet thrilling experience we've had was the entrance to the portal."

"What about the entrance?" Michael cut him off.

"It's rude to interrupt when someone is talking..." Gregory gave Michael a look.

Michael chuckled. "Sorry"

Fein knew that Michael was trolling him.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with your question. After all, what could be interesting at the starting point, right?" Fein smiled.

Gregory and Michael nodded.

"But that's not true in the face of the mysterious Monster World. " His face turned solemn. "Just at the entrance, there's already an obstacle. To be precise, a passage filled with space cracks that could explode and wiped out everything on its path once touched."

"Oh... I heard about that too, it seems that one of the past explorations was unfortunately wiped out after a young master of a big clan arrogantly touched one." Gregory stated without emotion.

The expression of Fein turns weird after hearing the familiar term 'Young Mater' again.

'It seems the race of 'Young Masters' can thrive in any world' He couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" Michael asked, seeing Fein sighing like a depressed person.

Fein smiled and shook his head. He doesn't want to talk about it anymore, it would only leave a foul taste in his mouth.

"Nevermind about that, let's continue... We safely passed that place without a problem with the help of a veteran guide. And at the end of that place is the blue portal that leads to the Secret Realm."

Gregory and Michael became immersed in the story of Fein as if they had been there personally. This is the talent of Fein's 'Narration Talent' and 'Voice Talent'. That gave him an outstanding quality of storyteller akin to a professional podcast lecturer, and his quality of voice would let anyone listen to him drawn and immersed. Just like now, it was already playing its role subtly without them noticing.

Just like that, Fein narrated the adventures he had with Sofia and Voli-- The beautiful forest where friendly monsters roam everywhere, the unspoken rule at night, and the beautiful red moon that look like a giant gemstone in the sky illuminating the entire realm and giving it an ethereal feeling, to their adventure in the Desert... Of course, he didn't mention the Underground Temple and other things that he considered secret

"I didn't know that secret realm would be such a beautiful place, even with the danger it holds." The lips of Michael raised upward after listening to the wonders of the secret realm.

Even Gregory, who was usually grumpy, didn't comment this time. One could see that his eye looked hazy as if he was imagining the place in his head.

'If the two of you only knew how dangerous it really was. Fucked, I nearly died at that hellish place.' Fein grumbled inside as he thought how close he was from dying at the hands of the Platinum Statue.

Michael woke up from his trance and uttered. "Some day I also want to go to that place."

Gregory just remains silent, but a smile on his face remained.

"That's it. I just visited this time to say hello to the three of you. My mother would be worried so I'm gonna go first... Unfortunately, Kidd wasn't here." Fein could help but sigh. It disappointed him that one of them was missing and his whereabouts unknown.

"Okay, make sure to come here next month for the mission." Gregory nodded.

Michael punched Fein's chest lightly. "Take care of yourself. We still have to find our dear friend."

"No worries, I will be on time after training..."

Fein turned around, he walked to the door where he came, when he was about to go out Michael called him.

"Wait. It seems I forgot to tell you about something." Michael frowned as he began to think hard.

"Hmm... What it is." The frown on his face deepens.

Gregory glanced at Michael and says, "Your birthday." He sighed at his Michael's only weakness.

Michael's eyes lit up. "Yes! I want to invite you to my birthday next month!"

"It seems you have a goldfish memory," Fein chuckled, "But aren't we going to find Kidd at that month?"

"Don't worry, it would be a short celebration. We can do it before the mission." He smiled.
