"Well, since it looks like you're a pretty straightforward man. Then I'll go straight to the point." David took out a badge in his hand. "I David Freud wants to invite you to become a Lieutenant General of the Felmundia army."
Gregory, Azazel, and Kiba almost spat a mouthful of blood as they heard David's outrageous proposal.
Jumping to Lieutenant General at the start? That's certainly a tempting proposal.' Gregory knew just how special it was to be offered that position without working for it. After all, in the Military. Merits and contributions are everything.
"No. I don't want to get tied to any forces, even if it was my country. I'm sorry." Fein refused without hesitation.
David couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him with amazement. If it was others. They would certainly accept it. After all, a lieutenant general is already a high position that could affect the chain of command and has a certain power.
"Don't worry. The Xeno Great Alliance promotes solidarity between the five countries, so even if you join another country's military. San Fernando won't blame you." Gregory said his opinion.
Afraid that Fein was holding himself back because he was afraid that the country would think badly of him. But who was Fein? Does he care about such things? He just really doesn't want to become tied to anything because he just wants to build his own force.
As for the country where he lives. They can register him as one of their S ranks, but they won't have power over him.
David patted Fein's back jovially. "Well, there's no hurry to refuse. You can consider my proposal and you are welcome to the Felmundia Army at any time."
Isaac, on the other hand, looks at everyone apologetically. "We'll go first. Thank you for coming to my daughter's funeral."
"Azazel, don't forget to come to our house later."
Just like that, Isaac and David left as they have to talk with the funeral services about other miscellaneous things that they needed to take care of.
"Well guys, we'll go first." Fein also said his goodbyes to Azazel and Kiba. "Take care. You can visit me in the Ranger's Eye or if you have problems with your training."
Kiba bowed at Fein. "Thank you for your guidance during all these times. Now, we also have to go on our own paths."
...
-Bulacan City-
Fein, Gregory, Anthony, and Fey strolled in the Felmundia as they would have to return to San Fernando tomorrow. Now, they are in one of the thriving cities of Felmundia.
People flow smoothly on the road, and a lot of them enter the church in the middle. The god they worship is one of the major gods. Fritzi, the God of Fire. That's why the paint on the walls of the church is red like a blazing fire.
There are a lot of vendors and stalls on the side of the road that sells a different variety of products such as fruits, juice, street food, and the like.
"Guys, I think I somewhat have a bad feeling about three people who attended Kate's funeral." Anthony suddenly opened his mouth, causing the group to stop momentarily in the middle of the road.
"Who? Almost everyone who attended were powerful degu users. So it's not strange if you feel that way." Fey voiced out her thoughts.
She knew that Anthony almost always observes the people in the surroundings. So his credibility is quite high among the Ranger's Eye.
Anthony shook his head. The serious expression on his face didn't diminish in the slightest. "I'm sure about what I saw. I think they are at least A-rank criminals. No matter what disguise they have, they won't escape my eyes."
"So what you do want to propose to do?" Fein yawned. Not interested in the criminals in the slightest.
If the criminals were S-rank degu users. It might pique his interest. But a mere A rank? They won't even qualify to be his experience points.
"We need to catch them before they can commit unpleas-"
"Help!"
"This is a robbery!" Three vicious guys suddenly appeared. One of them was choking a kid in his arms as they declared a robbery.
One of them has flames on his fist. And he threatened what seems to be a noble family. "Bring all your belongings here or all the people here will die."
One of them has a piercing on the corner of his mouth. And his neck was filled with tattoos and one of them is a demon skull smoking a cigarette, which looks particularly eye-catching. He has mid-length black hair and a small nose, his facial features weren't considered bad.
"See." Anthony has a told you so expression on his face.
"Idiot, those aren't A ranks. They're just the typical gangsters you would encounter everywhere, and they're just a bunch of C ranks."
"Yeah, how could dignify lower themselves to commit a robbery on the road?" Fey said sarcastically.
"Hey, the four of you. Why are you standing stupidly there? Bring out your belongings!"
The man looked at Fein's group cruelly. Then, when his eyes landed on Fey, his eyes immediately glowed with a strange light.
"They have to pick us. Isn't this just asking for trouble?" A wide grin appeared on Fey's face. She looked at the man with disdain, as she hates receiving an undisguised perverted stare like that.
So Fey charged at the group of C ranks by herself.
Seeing this, the guy licked his lips. Then a wind blade was generated in his arms and threw it at Fey.
WOASHHH!
Seeing this, Fey didn't even plan to evade and just go straight to meet the wind blade
"No!"
The people on the road closed their eyes as they can't bear to watch the lady get split by such a sharp attack in front of their eyes.
In the Felmundia country. Degu users walked in the public without bothering to conceal their existence. Well, not only in Felmundia. But in other few select countries as well. As there are still people like the president of Felmundia that want the regular people to become aware of the existence of the degu society and its dangers.
They believe that it is right of the people to know something like this. That's why degu users aren't uncommon in this country and one would see degu users walking the public unbridledly.
