Fein became speechless after hearing the familiar sentence. This Abyss quotes such as 'if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.' are already overused. He didn't expect that he would hear it personally in the future.

"Well, forget that I asked. Although I'm a curious person, it only applies to Research. But if it can cause some unnecessary troubles, no thanks..." Fein emphasized every word.

Lucius probably thought of him as the type of person who was curious about everything. But that's only half right. He wasn't about things that would benefit him. That's just a complete waste of time. He was interested in Science for the sole reason that it can help him become stronger, and that's it.

"Ohhh... It seems I read you wrong. It's been a long time since I've read a person's personality wrong." A glint appeared in Lucius' eyes.

'This old bastard really likes to read people, doesn't he? Shit... It's really wise to talk less to him as much as possible.' Fein complained in his heart.

Fein pretended to smile and a hint of fanatism reflects on his voice.

"You're not entirely wrong, because I'm really curious about the pursuit of truth. That's the ultimate dream of Scientists. Uncover the mysteries of the world and their principle."

"I just hope you won't become like Niki. Since both of you have a lot of similarities. But I can at least rest assured because you are surrounded by people that you really cared about and cared about you. I think that the big difference between the two of you."

'We really have a lot of similarities... When I become S rank, let me meet that fucker.' Fein became more and more interested in the leader of the Laughing Phantom.

Fein turned his back on Lucius and paced back and forth.

"No, you're wrong about something."

"About what?" Lucius became curious instantly.

"About the difference between him and me..." Fein smirked after saying this.

"Ohhh... So what do you think it should be?" Lucius asked.

"If there's a big difference between me and him. Its appearance. I'm more handsome than him. As a matter of fact, I'm the most handsome 23-year-old on the whole continent." Fein said shamelessly without batting an eye.

"..."

Lucius tried to open his mouth but the words kept going out of his mind, as his brain became delayed for a second.

Fein blinked innocently.

"HAHAHAHA! Damn brat! you got some good sense of humor!" Lucius burst out laughing.

"It's been a long time since I've met an interesting person like you." Lucius gradually calmed down. But the smile on his face says a lot about his mood. "Go to Sofia, lest she complains to me later."Fein nodded and he walked to the door. Suddenly he remembered something. He stopped and turned around.

"I forgot about something."

"What?"

"Would you mind selling some A-rank equipment to me?" Fein rubbed his hands like a greedy merchant.

"Why?" Lucius's eyebrows raised unconsciously.

"Well, I love collecting equipment." He smiled while saying some bullshit explanation.

"Don't fool me. Well, you don't have to say it. Go to Alfred, tell him that I would give you nine A-ranks equipment. You can have it for free" Lucius waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

'Is this the difference between peasants and rich people? It's like he doesn't put A-rank equipment in his eyes.' Fein didn't expect that Lucius would be this generous.

Now, he can let his 'Dragon Abyssal Death Blade' devour some equipment and get their abilities!

...

Fein stared at the equipment on the table right in front of him. Beside him stood Alfred, the one who has the ability of half fire and half ice. Because Alfred is in charge of the Logistics in the entire mansion, that's why he was the one who lead him into the Treasury.

"You can pick 9 among them" Alfred smiled.

On the table, strewn sixty-five A ranked equipment-- Sword, Armor, Dagger, Spear, Etc...

They're all dazzling his eyes. Intricate designs and unfamiliar runes are etched on the equipment.

Fein looked at Alfred with his peripheral vision who just stood beside him like a statue.

He started to use his probe ability in each one of the equipment to see their abilities.

'This isn't good.'

'Hmmm... This one is quite useful.'

'Damn, what kind of trash ability is this!'He saw various kinds of abilities. Some were to his liking, while others are not. Finally, after deliberating for half an hour, he chose five accessories, three swords and one piece of armor, It result of his pros and cons are this...

'What the hell! This isn't a serious skill right!?'Fein's eye widened after he saw a ridiculous skill that could shrink the size of D*ck!

'And who the fuck is this King Darwin? Is this the parallel universe version of Charles Darwin the father of evolution!?'

Fein felt his worldview crumble. After a few minutes, he gradually calmed down, his face flushed in excitement after thinking of the possibilities of 'Darwin's Little Wiener' Ability! With this, if he saw some hateful prick or a young master provoke him... Hehe.

The smile on his face grew wider and wider. Because this ability is just suitable for taking revenge and dealing emotional damage! After all, what is the most precious treasure of men? It's wiener! Though, if the wiener of the target is already small that would be incredibly brutal.

'It won't disappear at that time, right?' Fein shuddered.
