"You're too kind. There's no need for the fruit. Since we're neighbors, it's only right that we help one another."
Fenric simply smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing that Fenric refused to accept the fruit, the young woman did not insist. She politely said, "You're such a kind neighbor... Then I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
Fenric nodded and said, "Goodbye."
The young woman then carried the fruit basket toward Room 802 next door.
Overall, everything appeared perfectly normal.
However...
After Fenric closed the door, the smile on his face vanished...
The young woman's performance had been impeccable. She had seemed no different from an ordinary girl next door.
Unfortunately, the vitality within her body had already betrayed her.
With Fenric's current attributes, not only was he immensely powerful, but his five senses had also become astonishingly acute!
For example, Fenric's eyes could now distinguish individual dust particles floating through the air, while his ears could detect footsteps from hundreds of meters away.
Although the young woman had appeared delicate and frail, her heartbeat was remarkably strong. To Fenric, every beat sounded like the pounding of a drum.
Such a powerful heartbeat could only belong to someone with an exceptionally strong physique!
Furthermore...
There was another detail!
The basket of fruit must have weighed at least ten pounds.
When an ordinary person—especially someone slender—lifted something that heavy, the tendons in their wrists would usually become visible.
Although the young woman had supported the basket with both hands and appeared to be struggling slightly, the muscles and tendons in her forearms had barely changed!
What did that mean?
It meant that the basket's weight was as light as a feather to her!
Therefore!
Fenric could be certain.
The "neighbor" who had just moved in was definitely no ordinary person.
Considering that she had just moved in and immediately knocked on his door...
"She's here for me, isn't she?"
A cold glint flashed through Fenric's eyes.
"Brother, that woman was so beautiful! Why didn't you take the opportunity to ask for her number?" Diana asked with a grin.
Fenric rolled his eyes at her. "Where did you learn something like that?"
"Online!" Diana replied matter-of-factly. "Isn't that what all boys do when they want to pick up girls? I even want you to find me a sister-in-law!"
Fenric was speechless. This girl was definitely being led astray by the internet.
"You already have a sister-in-law."
After saying that, Fenric sat back down at the table and resumed eating.
As he ate, he continued contemplating the young woman's possible motives.
Diana sat beside Fenric with a grin, her eyes sparkling as she asked, "Brother, do I really have a sister-in-law? What kind of person is she?"
"I'll introduce you to each other another day," Fenric replied with his mouth full, making his words sound slightly muffled.
With his current physique, he needed to consume an enormous amount of nutrients every day to meet his body's energy demands, giving Fenric quite a large appetite!
Furthermore, Diana's cooking was excellent, so Fenric thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
Upon hearing Fenric's answer, Diana suddenly became worried.
"Brother, what if my sister-in-law doesn't like me...?"
"Don't overthink it, and stop looking at strange things online!"
...
That afternoon.
After eating and drinking his fill, Fenric sat in a chair on the balcony and basked in the sunlight.
Suddenly...
The sound of a piano drifted over from next door.
The melody was gentle and cheerful, making it very pleasant to listen to.
Fenric, however, smiled coldly.
In his eyes, the "neighbor" next door was clearly eager to attract his attention.
"Trying to seduce me?"
"The real world is where I come to relax, so you'd better not cause any trouble..."
As he thought this, Fenric frowned once again.
His gaze swept across the apartment before moving down toward the residential complex below. He began wondering whether he should move somewhere else.
Although this was considered a high-end residential complex, its management was clearly not very strict.
That much was obvious from the "neighbor" who had just moved in next door.
Before Fenric's identity was exposed, he had been able to live here peacefully.
However, information about Fenric's identity had now leaked to a certain extent.
Especially after his battle in the Thousand Lanterns Island Nation the previous night, which had made him famous throughout the world!
Perhaps...
Fenric could easily deal with anyone who harbored malicious intentions toward him.
For example, this "neighbor" who had just moved in!
However, even after dealing with one "Zhang San," Fenric knew that another "Li Si" would soon appear and approach him!
"Perhaps I really should move somewhere quieter—maybe a luxury villa? Since the real world is where I come to relax, I should treat myself a little better..."
As for the quietest place he could live without being disturbed...
Fenric believed Vivienne would definitely know!
Just as Fenric thought of Vivienne, his phone rang. Coincidentally, she was the one calling.
"Hello, Shura. Did I disturb you?"
"No. Actually, I happen to have something I want to discuss with you!"
"Oh?" Vivienne's surprised voice came through the phone. "What is it? Tell me. If it's within my power, I'll definitely help."
Fenric smiled and said, "Mine isn't urgent. Tell me why you called first."
Vivienne then said, "Shura, the Academy of Sciences has just detected numerous entrances to Hell, and enormous energy fluctuations are emanating from them! The Academy suspects that the creatures of Hell may be planning something... I called to warn you to be careful."
"Hell?"
Fenric suddenly remembered Uvall, whom he had sent back to Hell, as well as his previous experience of being trapped there.
His identity had been exposed precisely because he had encountered danger in Hell and been forced to withdraw.
As Fenric thought about Uvall and Hell, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The Samsara Tower had not yet withdrawn its bounty on Uvall!
That bounty was worth one million Samsara Points!!
Fenric had not dealt with Uvall before because Hell contained far too many powerful demons.
But now... that might no longer be the case.
Perhaps he could claim Uvall's head and collect those one million Samsara Points?
With another one million Samsara Points, Fenric's strength would undoubtedly rise once again!
