The Author's POV

Chapter 580

"Congratulations Brian."

There was a festive mood enveloping a small bar as two figures sat on stools and enjoyed their beers. There was an obvious contrast between the two figures: one was lanky and youthful, while the other was extremely handsome and more mature looking.

Nevertheless, the two seemed to be on good terms with each other.

The figures were Brian and Hemlock, his superior.

"You handled the situation skillfully and obtained connections despite not having any special powers. I can tell that you put a lot of effort into the negotiations."

"Thanks…Hicc…"

Brian thanked Hemlock as his face flushed. He was clearly drunk at the moment.

"Not a heavy drinker, eh?"

Taking a sip of the beer, Hemlock wiped the foam that had accumulated on the top of his lips. His actions instantly attracted the gaze of all the people around them.

Not minding the attention one bit, Hemlock put the beer down.

"Although we have done a good job today, we still have a lot to do. Don't get too complacent."

As a good supervisor, it was within his duty to remind Brian that he shouldn't let success get to his head.

"…Yeah."

Brain weekly nodded his head as he heard Hamlock's words. He was currently extremely intoxicated, and whether he had truly understood his words or not, Hemlock wasn't sure.

Nonetheless, Hemlock smiled.

"It really is a pity that someone as capable as you has such poor talent."

There was genuine pity in his voice as he spoke those words.

In the past half-year, Hemlock noticed a dramatic increase in his work efficiency; he could now find all the information he needed within a few seconds of asking Brian. He was that amazing.

Brian was thorough and especially fast. This was what made Hemlock like him so much.

If only he had been born with more talent...

"…a real pity."

While bringing the drink down, he stared through the bar's glass window at the city streets through which he could see white and red lights drift across the streets.

"How beautiful."

Hemlock mumbled silently.

His complexion changed as he clutched the drink in his hand. His brows furrowed tightly.

"…but it's truly a pity that this won't last for long."

"What do you mean?"

Brian asked as he overheard Hemlock's words.

Hemlock shook his head as he stared at Smallsnake who was trying his best to keep himself from passing out.

"Why do you think that it won't last?"

"Haaa…"

Exhaling, Hemlock raised his beer and took a sip.

Smacking his lips together, he asked.

"What is the rank of the strongest human at the moment?"

" rank."

Brian answered.
