Chapter 311 Suspicion

"Yes, it's about my grandfather." Kidd's expression became downcast at the mention of his grandfather.

Seeing this, Gregory softened. He patted Kidd on his back. "Well, forget it. The important thing is you are back in one piece."

"Welcome back, bro. You made us worried." Michael's lips curled up. Although he was mad that Kidd didn't inform the team, which made them worried. Nonetheless, he was glad that his friend was safe and sound.

"I have to inform the main branch about this. Or else the intelligence unit would work for nothing." Gregory chuckled. Then he looked at Kidd. "Yeah, you've heard that right. The main branch also moved due to your disappearance."

"Thank you, Vice Captain." Kidd flashed a smile at Michael. "By the way, where is Fein?"

As Michael was about to answer. The door was pushed open and Fein emerged from it.

"Did I just hear someone say my name? Oh... Kidd!?" Fein rushed towards Kidd and let out a barrage of questions.

"Where the fuck did you go?"

BEst

"You still have the guts to come back!?"

"I thought that I would see your corpse the next time I see you. But it seems I'm wrong. How unfortunate." Fein couldn't help but sigh.

'This bastard...' The corner of Kidd's mouth twitched. But he knew that Fein was just teasing him. "I just took care of some family problem. By the way, how are you doing?"

'Family problem? Do you think you can fool me?' Fein felt that Kidd's excuses were too lame. Actually, after he laid his eyes on Kidd, he felt that he was an entirely different person. He didn't know what happened to Kidd and why he didn't want to say it to them. But this made Fein raise his guard.

Fein examined Kidd inadvertently, and he also noticed the heavy and depressing aura from him. 'Just what happened to you?'

"Family problem huh... Well, if we can help with something. You're not a stranger. We would do our best to help. Am I right, captain?"

"Indeed." Gregory nodded his head. "We're like a family already."

Michael gripped Fein's and Kidd's shoulders. "Since Kidd is back. Then we should do some mission."

"No way. I want to rest for a week first." Kidd immediately refused.

"Well, I don't have anything in my schedule. Since Kidd is here and the mission is basically over before it even started. I plan to go to North." Fein plans to go to the North and seek some adventures. He really needs to find S-rank monsters to level up.

Since he manage to kill three S-rank demons, the amount he needed to upgrade his talent to SS rank lessened by at least three percent. Yeah, three S-rank demons only provided three percent of the amount he needed to upgrade his talent.

But after he upgrades his talent, it would increase his combat prowess again. And he still has to find the necessary materials for his Golden Mist Technique.

Fein had already let the QWERTY organization find the golden apples for him, but there was still no news. He also asked Lucius for help. So far, Lucius managed to collect some of the needed supplementary materials. He only needed to find the stardust, the eyeball of the regressed anaconda, and the golden apple, which was the main material.

He didn't forget to bask in the sun for two hours daily, even though he didn't have any training regimen.

"Okay, it's decided then. We will go with you." A smile emerged from Michael's face.

"Well, after my rest, I will go with the two of you." Kidd smiled as he look at his two friends.

Fein gave a thumbs up, but he had already used his probe on Kidd. 'Let's see this bastard's progressed.'

Name: Kidd

Race: Human

Degu Amount: A

STR: A

AGI: A

END: A

Abilities: Light Refraction, Light Sword, Light Beam, Light Spark, Light Elementalization, Hundred Beams...

'Motherfucker!' Fein almost spat blood when he saw the multiple A's on Kidd's interface.

'How is this even possible? He surpassed Michael this quickly?'

If he felt that there was something strange about Kidd earlier. Now he confirmed it! Michael who was talented between the two was still on his ascension to A rank. But Kidd was already an A rank!

'Did he sell his soul to the devil? Or did he get some great opportunity?' A silly thought passed on his head.

Fein was certain of one thing. Wherever Kidd had gone in the past months was not a family problem. But he has a secret that he didn't want the team to know!

How does dealing with a family problem lets you ascend to A-rank that quickly? As he thought of this, Fein decided to be careful of Kidd from now on. Just the way he looked at them gives Fein a bad feeling.

He was unsure if this was all his illusion, but his instinct kept giving him a danger signal.

'Damn it! What if there's really something wrong with him?' Fein sneaked a glance at Kidd secretly. Then he began to study Kidd's new ability applications using his probe.

'Hmmm?' Kidd turned his head at Fein with a strange glint in his eyes. 'Did he notice something?'

If there was someone sharp enough in the Ranger's Eye, Kidd knew that it was Fein. 'No, it must be my illusion.'

Fein, on the other hand, had already started reading the descriptions of Kidd's ability applications.

[Light Elementalization- The user is capable of transforming his body into a light element. Invulnerable to physical attacks. Can move at the speed of light in one direction, but is hard to control. It lets the user recover any severed body parts easily.]

'Move at the speed of light!?' His eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets as he read the exaggerated description of the ability. Even with his current realm, Fein was aware that he can't move at that speed.

'How's this even possible? Hmmm... Move in one direction? Does that mean that he can't really control his movement completely? If there's such a restriction, then it would be reasonable.'

Nonetheless, Kidd's light elementalization is absolutely amazing. Even with those restrictions, moving at the speed of light in one direction while also being invulnerable to physical attacks was enough for him to escape any dangerous situations easily.
